“Caroline, I admire your strength. Anyway, we all make mistakes. May be, you can listen to his side of the story. I have never had a real relationship so I don’t know what else to tell you “Zoe couldn’t stay mad at her for so long.“Thanks for telling me all this. I needed someone who will be on my side and not judge me.” she wiped her tears and then muttered” I am calm now, let us go and pick up my baby. Please ….no word about this to her. ““Of course, I will be loyal to you “Zoe replied with smile on her face. After they have picked up Angel, they both went back home.Unexpectedly, Jack came back home early today and he was waiting for them with a huge smile on his face. That was when she remembered that it was his birthday. she had been so preoccupied with things that she didn’t get enough time to prepare for his special day.She felt guilty, Jack did spoil her on her birthday.When Angel saw him, her face lightened and she hurriedly ran towards him with happiness. The smile that
She would have expected this from Wesley but not Jack.What happened to him? Was he hiding something from her? Her heart couldn’t be at peace because a person doesn’t change overnight. Something was terribly wrong somewhere. she just couldn’t put her fingers to what it was?Soon, she walked down the stairs clad in a white dress with a slit on the front. She looked breathtakingly gorgeous as Jack held her hand and led her out of the house. “As always you are beautiful “he commented as Caroline looked at him and smiled. Her jaws were really starting to hurt from too many fake smiles and she wasn’t sure when it will end. “You are handsome yourself” she finally replied.The drive to the restaurant was quiet. Anyway, they never talked much when they were together unless it was something important and she was glad about that because she didn’t wish to listen to his lies.Finally, they reached the continental hotel. The same place that she was told that he had been with another woman.Yet
“I am so sorry. Today just wasn’t one of my best “she added as someone cleared his voice next to her chair.“Caroline……long time no see. I am glad to see you enjoying a time out with your lovely husband. Well, I am also here with my man. What a coincidence? “Winnie said while smiling at her with sarcasm.As if she hasn’t had enough drama for the day. She rolled her eyes and faced the woman.“Winnie, we are not friends. Your pleasantries are not necessary. Anyway, we were just leaving. You can stay back and enjoy your evening. “Caroline snarled back at her with impatience.“Caroline, I think that I told you to divorce this cheating jackass. what are you still doing with him?” Wesley queried coldly as he stared daggers at Jack.“Mind your own fucking business, Wesley. You are the cheater ex-husband and not me. I am here enjoying my time with my wife and you have no right talking to like that in my presence. Accept that you lost and I won. she is mine and no matter what you do, I know
“I just came to check on you. Are you okay? Is Jack treating you well? It has been long since I saw Angel, is she okay? I would love to ruffle her blond hair, they are kind of cute. “Megan was asking so many questions at the same time. Caroline could already tell that she was nervous.“Is something the matter with you? Please talk to me. Is there a problem with the company?” Caroline’s heart started beating hard.“Caroline, promise me that you won’t tell anyone what I am about to tell you. I loved your father and I like you in the same measure but I just can’t keep quiet on what has been going on in the company ever since you handed it to your husband. I can’t watch what you father build with his own sweat go down the drains.” she started to say looking scared and emotional.Caroline’s face changed “You are going to kill me with anxiety. What happened to the company? What did my husband do? Caroline asked trying to calm her nerves.“Things hasn’t been going on well. Jack changed al
“Wait for me. I will be right there in my own costumes, okay. It looks like we are going hunting for the bitch.” Caroline said impatiently before disconnecting the phone conversation.Awhile later, she arrived disguised in her jeans and a hoodie of her own. Isabel and Monica looked at her and started laughing. She looked funny indeed.“I couldn’t miss on the fun. Instead of staying at home being restless, I decided to join you two. Let us cheer to that “Caroline grinned.“Hey, we have got news for you about the bitch.” Isabel said. with her influence in the media, she had managed to source for the hidden information about the woman that Jack was cheating on Caroline with.“Yeah, I already know about her name. I have just had a long talk with Megan and she told me some very interesting stuffs. I won’t tell you right now but I will later. I was just calling you to get me information about Heather Kaplan. If they think that they are playing me then they will be in for a surprise”“What a
Days went by very first and it was the D Day. Several big shots had been invited to witness the success of Morgan corporation during the year. It was a company that many look up to.Actually, it was a very important event for businesses to network within themselves and Morgan corporation was giving them a platform.Despite all the bad things that she had during the week, Caroline was happy to see how perfect Jack has organized the event. He had surpassed all of her expectations.“So, what do you think, darling? “Jack queried as he looked at her in the eyes with excitement and mystery.“Nothing short of my expectations. I am so proud of your work” Caroline appreciated as she glanced around at the guests. There were some of them whom she knew but there were also new faces.Looking around, things were perfect but deep inside she had mixed feelings. she felt that something huge was about to blow up.Like every happy moment of her life, something bad will always happen to spoil her joy.
“Of course, I won’t forget thanking our clients, suppliers and investors. They have been the once responsible for our success this year” Caroline replied ready with her speech. After all she was the owner of the company.“I will get my camera men. It will be a live broadcast and you will be my main focus. I want you to shine. “Isabel said and sneaked out of the hall.There were only two seats in front and she knew that one was reserved for her but to her surprise, Heather was already settled on it.It didn’t matter though, even if she took the second row, it would still be okay. No one will suspect that something was wrong.From where she was sitting, Caroline could see Heather. she stuck by Jack’s side like a piece of gum. She wasn’t even ashamed that she was also there as his lawfully wedded wife. This made her start to wonder what exactly they were planning. Then Heather was invited on stage. with confidence, she took on the mic.“Dear ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you all t
Struck with shock, Caroline just stood there watching his cold eyes as he took everything away from her life.No…. the man on the podium was not Jack. He was kind and gentle not a back stabbing idiot that she was seeing in front.What did she ever do to him?She wanted to say something but her mouth felt heavy. All that she heard was voices asking her questions that she had no idea how to answer. She felt pressured. Her physical strength gave way and at that moment, she knew that she was falling down on the floor in front of all the company associates.“I have got you. Don’t be afraid. You will be fine” the voice said as he held her on his chest possessively.Those were the last words that she heard and then everything became black. she was weak. she had failed to protect her father’s legacy. The only one thing that she had promised him on his death bed that she will protect with her life was gone now.“Oh...my God, Caroline. What has just happened? “Monica was startled only to rea
No one dared to say anything. The crowd stood with their mouths gaped, sizzling back biting going around in style. Their usual soft hums and whispers was all that could be heard by the trio.When it was all done, Sophia wiped both of their tears and kissed their foreheads.” Just know that you can always count on me for anything that you need, okay. I love you both. ““I love you “Caroline voice cracked as she spoke.“I love you too.” Jack added emotionally.“You didn’t hug me grand ma. Don’t you like me too?” Angel complained interrupting the beautiful bonding.It just dawned on Sophia that she has just become a grandmother in a day.Sophia has never even imagined having a grandchild but here she had one already. What more could she have asked for?During these few days, she has learned a very important lesson. Family was more precious than being a rebellious reject, feeling hollow all the time.“Of course, I haven’t forgotten. I will give you a tight hug. Will you like that, princess
“Really sweetheart …It doesn’t matter what gender it is as long as he has come from you and me. I will love the baby regardless of his gender and this time round they will have a committed father. It was so fucking disgusting to hear people calling me a dead-beat dad all the time. My mission now is to prove them all wrong.”Angel giggled as she stated.” I will have a little baby brother. Thank you so much, Mommy. I will have someone to play my video games with and chat with. I will never be alone again. ““You won’t “Caroline ruffled her hair tenderly. Being a mother and seeing your children happy was the most fulfilling feeling in the world.“May I suggest a name?” Angel continued.“Of course. what name would you like to give your brother?” Wesley asked.“I would like him to be named after my grandfather, Dismas. That name sounds unique and full of love. I can’t wait to spoil him.” she replied with a cute pout on her mouth.“Dismas Storm…… I agree. It is a beautiful name, deserving
Then Isabel also appeared looking lovey dovey with Luke. Caroline suspected that there was a romance going on between them but she has never confirmed it.Now there was no doubt that Isabel had found her better a half.“Look at the newest couple in town!” Caroline commented as she stared at Isabel’s blushing face.“So, when did you two start dating?” Wesley asked dumbfounded. He could have sworn that Luke was not the type to settle down with a woman. He was a man of many ladies.“It just happened and the rest is history “Isabel answered as Luke pulled her away. “You don’t need to explain anything to him, it is none of his business.”Luke turned and whispered in Wesley ears “Don’t spoil this for me, okay. If you do, you can forget about me and start searching for new assistant. “It was precisely because of Wesley that he chose never to commit to any woman. He didn’t want to constantly explain why he was always working late or why he was constantly traveling around the world. He wa
“Why are you crying? You are going to spoil the makeup. Is this bastard still bullying you? Tell me and I will kick his ass right now. Until he proves to me that he has changed, then he is not off the hook yet. I will torment him like hell……. “Grand ma Grace said as he cupped her face in her hands.“It ….it ….is not that, grand ma. “Caroline chocked with tears, her voice cracked with the tumultuous mixture of emotions that she was feeling in her body.“Then what it is, sweetie? Remember, bad mood is not good for the baby, okay. “She probed further. Her face creased with worry.Her chest rose up and down as she tried with difficulty to get the words out of her chest.“I can’t believe that all this people came to my birthday. Am I dreaming?” she finally managed to say.“Oh…. No…. Caro. You better believe it! You have so many people who love and appreciate you. All this people are here because they want to be and because they admire you. Start believing it, okay. ““Really …...Really ….
She went back to sorting the documents. She saw various property deeds and their transfer documents. It turned out that Jack had transferred everything back to her name.Really …. she never even cared about them because she knew that she could make more than what her father left her but she was touched by Jack’s actions.At the bottom of the safety box, there was another envelop. Caroline opened it only to find a will supposedly written by her father. She had seen it the day that she was kidnapped and Wesley ended up saving her.“This was prepared by Heather to scam you. I hope that your lawyer will know what to do with it. Forging a will is a crime and Heather must pay for it .“ Jack wrote.Caroline was overwhelmed with emotions as she leaned on Wesley’s shoulders. With a voice as soft as a whisper she said “Let us go home. “Wesley hugged her tenderly as he whispered “It is finally time for you to be happy. Let us go home now. There is nothing stopping us from being together now. “
The following day was bright and sunny as Caroline and Wesley made their way back in to the Rose Garden apartment. She found Angel waiting for her at home. Angel ran to her mother and wrapped her hands around her neck as she lifted her up in to her embrace. She gently touched Caroline’s forehead before asking with concern “Are you okay, Mommy? “Caroline ruffled her hair delightedly earning an adorable giggle from her.“Better than I have ever been now that I have seen you. Are you bored? We can watch a movie or something. Are you in the mood? “Caroline asked. Although she was tired, she didn’t want to neglect Angel. She had to make some time to be with her.Before Angel could say anything, a certain man spoke. They were so engrossed in their little reunion that they had forgotten that he was standing right beside them.Well…. he couldn’t blame them. It has always been the two of them, he has never been in the picture. Why would he expect more from them?“How could they adore each o
She started feeling like she was slipping away in to darkness. She found herself laying her head on top of her mother’s body.Wesley panicked and started calling her name …” Caroline……. Caro…..can you hear me? I need you to say something. If you are hurting, please let me know. “His voice was but a distance whisper before it all went dark. She was no longer feeling anything. Nothing mattered, her heart didn’t hurt as much as it did before as she fully succumbed to the darkness. It was already dark in the evening when Caroline finally woke up. She was in a hospital and Wesley was sleeping beside her bed. She had no idea how long she had blackened out but the first thing that came on her head was her baby.Wesley woke up immediately he heard her stir “Sweetheart, you are finally awake. Where does it hurt?” He asked while tucking away the hair on her face with a concerned look on his face.“Is the baby still around?” Caroline queried while clutching her stomach.“Yes…the baby is fine
“What are you guys talking about? Caroline was confused. She couldn’t tell when she has ever saved Wesley from any fire. She just got a headache from trying hard to remember. Then her memory was taken back to the day that she had an accident and was taken to the hospital. The doctor said that she was suffering from amnesia and that there were signs of her bone healing. She never could have guessed that she was the one who saved Wesley from fire and ended up sustaining serious injuries. The worst part was that she fucking forgot about it. Everybody knew that it was Paula who saved Wesley and he owed her his life.It just occurred to her that they were talking about the same fire accident that left her with a memory loss years back. The doctor said that she was blocking the trauma that she had suffered and that was why she couldn’t remember.Her eyes clouded with tears as she looked at Wesley “I was the one who saved you? I don’t regret it. I would rather lose my memory a thousand t
“Did you just call me your child? “Caroline asked again with a trembling voice.“Yes…. you are mine and no one has the right to make your life hard “Sophia said, Caroline remained still as mixed emotions ruptured in her heart.It was too good to be true.Sophia will never accept her. The police soon arrived after they were called by Grace’s guards. Heather and Agnes were taken away looking defeated. The only people remaining in the house were now family. Out from nowhere, Paula asked “Can you wire the money to me now? I have done my part “Sophia stood up suddenly as she muttered sternly.” There is no one receiving or giving money here. There will be no easy money for you from now onwards. You have to learn to work hard for the money that you want. Are we clear?”“Mum…it is me! I can’t believe that you are treating me like this. “Paula was aggrieved.She stomped her legs like a little brat like she normally does, hoping that her mother will feel moved but she didn’t.“Yeah…...I know
