“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
Jack smiled disgustedly “so, it was your plan all along? You planted Heather in my life so that you two can take Morgan and Baron’s wealth. “His eye was already blood shot.“Bravo…. you have finally figured it out. I have never loved you. You disgust me so much, you have no idea. Letting you touch me was the worst experience of my life. So, I am going to earn myself good money from you when you are rotting in the ground. I promise you that you are not getting out of here alive. “Heather said while tracing her gun on his face.He spat on her face, earning himself a punch. “Killing you is the right thing to do , Heather has been following the plan well, but what about you? You are stupid and an ingrate. All that I wanted was for you to forget about Caroline so that we can have her company for ourselves. Was that too much to ask? what does she have that you worship the ground that she walks on? “Agnes asked irritably, eyes blazing with fire.“Mother ….” Jack called, feeling a pang of
“No…you are pregnant. I don’t want anything to happen to you and our baby. You and our baby are the most important thing to me right now. Trust me, I will bring Jack home even if I want to shoot him on the head. “Wesley stated emotionlessly.Caroline was stressed as she begged “I can’t sit back. I am sure that whatever is happening to him is connected to me and I can’t leave him alone. I just want to make sure that he is okay. I promise that I will stay safe “she said with unshed tears on her eyes.It broke Wesley’s heart to see her break down like that. Jack might have hurt her but it seems that old friends are had to replace no matter the situation.Just at that time Monica and Isabel walked in. Caroline had called them to inform them that Jack had been kidnapped.Monica was crying like a child. Caroline was even startled. Monica never shed a tear unless it was something serious.Monica hugged Caroline tight as she continued to weep emotionally. She couldn’t imagine anything h
Fuming with furry, Heather suggested” Let us kidnap him and torture him until he tells us the password. I cannot let that bitch win. Everything that she has will be mine. I don’t care if we have to sacrifice this idiot.The maid looked terrified. She didn’t enter in to this agreement for someone to die. She trembled as she spoke “Please …you can do to him anything. There is no need to kill him. I am not a murderer …...I can’t be a part of this. “She ‘d been living with Jack. He was odd but a good man who was only fighting his demon and dealing with evil people. He had treated him well and she never meant to harm him“Well…. It is too late, fool. You better keep this big mouth of yours shut if you don’t want to end up five feet deep under like him. Get lost.” Heather shouted hysterically as she pointed to the door. The maid quickly disappeared. “Let us do it “Agnes replied with an emotionless face.Awhile later, Jack woke up with a splitting headache. He still wasn’t sure where he w
Heather’s phone was on a loud speaker as she turned to look at the other lady. The other lady was none other than Agnes, Jack’s adopted mother. “What is that little brat planning to do?” Agnes asked with displeasure.Heather sneered “He plans to give Caroline everything back. Thank God, I am one step ahead of him. Lately, he has been acting weird so I planted a spy in our house to watch his every move. Uh…. the guy is so fucking clueless. ““After all the trouble that I have gone through to secure Morgan properties, I can’t let him give it back. we need to figure out how we are going to get our hands on those document ASAP so that we can make transfer to our own names. “Heather was thoughtful for a moment.“Jack is so easy to manipulate. As long as he thinks that there is just little love left from me, he will listen. All he ever yearned for is stupid love and attention. I will talk to him “Agnes offered.“No….No……No…. Jack has changed within these few weeks. He seems like a differe
Caro…. When are you ever going to forgive me?Caroline turned on the other side and covered her head, feeling guilt for lying to him. She was no longer interested in talking to Wesley. This conversation was not going to continue.” Goodnight, Wesley.” She whispered.“Goodnight …” Wesley mumbled and tried to catch some sleep but he couldn’t. His mind was all over the place as he tried to connect things. It wasn’t until 3 PM in the morning that he managed to fall asleep.At the break of dawn, Caroline woke up and found that the space next to hers was empty. Immediately, she started panicking. Wesley has never stayed. Perhaps, this time round, he really got angry and sneaked out while she was asleep. What the hell did she even expect from him? She stood up hurriedly and started calling him just in case he was still around.” Wesley ……Wesley……”She was rushing down stairs when she bumped in to hard body. She screamed in panic before realizing that it was Wesley and he was fucking laughing
When he finally parked the car, he just realized that this was what he was meant to do, to care for his two beautiful girls and spend the rest of his life pampering them.Angel was wide awake throughout the journey back to the Rose Garden. She was too excited to close her eyes after seeing her father. She even feared that if she slept, he will vanish I to thin air as always.“Sweetie, let me carry Mommy to the house then I will make the both of you something to eat “Wesley stated as he hopped out of the car and rounded to the other side of the vehicle. He picked up Caroline and carried her to the house while Angel followed closely from behind. Caroline felt something moving with her then she was being placed on a soft mattress. At that point, her eyes opened slowly. Wesley realized that she was finally waking up and called her name “Caro”Looking at him with confusion, she reached out for his hands and asked with nervousness “where am I? Are we home already? Why am I on this bed? I
“Thank your stars that she is okay. So, what brings you here in my house?” Monica insisted on asking while blocking his way inside.Wesley has never been humiliated like this in his life. “Can’t I pick up my kid?” He asked with displeasure.“Oh……I thought that she wasn’t your kid when you tossed her and her mother a side like garbage? Have you regained your lost memories of her?” she asked. She had promised that she will never make it easy for this man.If Caroline was weak then she was ready to fight on her behalf.“Would you have seen me standing in front of your stupid face looking for a kid that wasn’t mine?” he replied with a question while raging with furry. “Get out of my way before I lose it “he snarled coldly finally losing his cool. Monica continued blocking his way, challenging his patience even more “It is my house and my space. Ask me politely before I let you in. “His face darkened but Monica could care less. Why was every one being a pain in his ass today. If not, t
Wesley cleared his voice softly so that he wouldn’t disturb Caroline “Hey Luke, do you remember that car that I brought from the overseas last time we went on a business trip? “He asked while trying to figure out if he was still mad at him.With a lazy attitude, the man answered “Of course …I am the one who personally purchased it. I am sure that you don’t even know what color it is. I am just curious, What about it?” Luke feigned ignorance, pretending that he didn’t know where Wesley was arriving at.“It can be yours if you do me a favor “He finally said after a long pause.“Sorry, Mr. Storm. I fucking hate that car. I can’t even imagine myself driving it. Sorry, I will pass on that stupid little gift that you want to buy me with after insulting me and bullying me, when all that I have done is look out for your best interests.” he snarled making the hair at the back of Wesley’s head stand up. He wasn’t good at begging and this fool knew it.“But it is the latest generation of the bes
What kind of a clueless man is this?Caroline continued cursing “Damn you, don’t you know that I am still in my early stages of pregnancy. Don’t bring me anything that smells like onions and spicy foods. They make me sick. “Her eyes became reddened just imagining what she had to go through because of his naivety. Wesley felt powerless. He has never taken care of a pregnant woman. How was he even supposed to know that even the smell of food makes them vomit? Was it that terrible to be pregnant?Shrugging his shoulders, he apologized “I am sorry, I will take it away. What can I bring for you instead?” he asked with a worried face.Caroline shook her head while curving her mouth in disgust “No food for me please. I just feel so nauseated. No worries, I will tell you when I am ready to eat something “she replied as she looked at him with teary eyes.Wesley had nothing to say to her. He was still having a debate in his head on what to do with the new information about Caroline because no
