“How can I apologize to you when you don’t even give me a chance? Anyway, you can do anything that you want with me but I am not giving up on you. You can even kill me but I must fight for you. “Wesley was in deep thought trying to make sense on how things have changed so fast between them. The funniest thing was that Paula hasn’t even tried to call him to find out how he was doing. His mood darkened on recalling that she was the reason that made him break Caroline’s heart. If she hadn’t come back with fault promises of love then he might have just stuck with Caroline. Perhaps, he would have discovered his true feelings for her.Someone knocked on his door and he almost jumped out of the bed knowing that it was Caroline. No one else knew the room that he was in except for her. He thought.With a smile on his face, he unlocked the door while calling Caroline’s name only to see Luke standing with a smug smile on his face. He searched his side but there was no sign of her.“Oh…...it is
After she heard the door being closed, Caroline was sure that it was just the two of them left. She turned her face around and met with the surprised eyes of Wesley. He looked like he had seen a ghost for real.“Mr. Storm, you seem to always follow me around. How can I help you” She asked coldly as she played with her pen between her fingers?Wesley rubbed his eyes and looked at her intensely “Caro…..I don’t understand . Wh….what are you doing here ?” his voice trembled as he tried to make sense of th situation.“Are you blind? Please look at the tag name on the table. I am the one who owns this company that you are so bent on acquiring. Does everything that has got to do with me attract you that much? “His eyes stared at Caroline’s name written boldly on the desk. She was the director and founder of the company. While, he thought that his wife was a naive little fool, she had built a company that he had been eyeing for years.“How did you do this?” he whispered.“It is my little
He was filled with rage and yet when he held her, he couldn’t help but soften. How could he explain to her that this was simply business and that whatever happened between them had nothing to do with his desire to acquire the company?“Caroline, stop all this nonsense. I am tired “he whispered in her ears before she pulled her hands back.“Rule number one, don’t hold me again” she said as she pushed him back roughly. Then something occurred in her mind. She had been meaning to ask him about this from the moment he showed up in her house but things happened fast and she forgot all about it.“Why are you stalking me?” Caroline asked.“Because you are the love of my life. ” Wesley answered with tears in his eyes.“The word love means nothing to me. It is for fools” she snarled and walked away.Wesley had no choice but to walk out of her office looking distraught. He has failed to get the acquisition and as things looked, Caroline has no intention of ever giving her company to him.He w
It has been hell for a whole decade not knowing what happened to her after her mother’s death. Now that she is back, he was going to be the best man in her life.“Yeah …. they are going to put up some resistance but I believe in you. I know that you can handle them. Besides, I will be right here if you need me “Jack looked adorable as he touched her cheeks softly. Caroline blushed.Who wouldn’t when the most gorgeous green eyes were looking at them?May be, just may be if Wesley would have been half a man like him, she wouldn’t have lived such a lonely and sad life.“Thank you for understanding. “ At least he gave her a glimpse of what to expect. She wasn’t going to walk in to a den of lions without proper preparations.“Let me treat you to a dinner afterwards. I will accept that as your gratitude “He said cheerfully with a little bit of flirtatious smile. Even though, she didn’t want to socialize at the moment, she couldn’t refuse him. It was only a harmless dinner. No commitments
“I think that it is clear to me now, what we need to do is vote democratically who is going to manage this company. The constitution states that even if the heir is available, we still have the obligation to vote for the right CEO with satisfactory qualifications. I doubt if she could ever match up to Larry.”“Agreed, I think that we should vote “Hosea, the design manager added while nodding his head.Caroline just sat staring at them mysteriously and dangerously. She didn’t know that her father had a bunch of idiots as the directors. Who did they think that they were?“Okay…you guys want to dismiss her just because she is young. Branding her as a divorcee and a single mother. Don’t you think that is nepotism? Larry you are a serial cheater and most recently you were beaten by one of your lovers.” Barry, the new business development directors wasn’t a man who liked trouble. He saw Caroline as his daughter who needed to be mentored and protected“You imbecile. I will fire you right no
He knew that Caroline banned him from coming to her rescue but what he saw on the little camera that he set up on the boardroom was depressing. without thinking any further, he had stormed out of her office and came to the boardroom.Sam knew that the man was a devil who he couldn’t afford to joke with.“Mr. Baron, I was only raising my hands.” His voice trembled.“Doesn’t look like what I saw. “He glanced at his assistant and ordered “Miguel, kindly ship this idiot out of the country. Take him to the worst country ever. If he comes back, chop off his legs “he said coldly as the other men shivered.“Please forgive me, Mr. Baron” he literally cried like a little boy yet there was zero nothing that he could do to change the man’s decision.Jack turned to Caroline whose face was expressionless. “Are you okay.”Caroline smiled and took him aside “I would have handle him but thanks. Can you wait for me outside? I think that the meeting is about to end “she said calmly.“I have something to
“She is just going through a crisis now but I promise that she is a very bright and bubbly girl. All that she needs is patience so that she could get used to the new environment. “Caroline stated. she wasn’t going to tell the teacher about her divorce. It wasn’t her business.“Well….in that case, I hope that she gets well soon” the teacher said as Caroline walked to her daughter“Sweetheart, why do you look so sad? don’t you like your new stool?” I love your teacher, do you love her too?” she asked while she brushed her blond hair softly.The girl glanced into her eyes with an empty look.“Mommy, would you take me to my daddy? I need to see him. I miss him so much. There is so much that I want to tell him” Angel’s innocent and sad voice made her shed a tear. Her baby girl shouldn’t be going through all this.As the teacher looked at their interaction, Caroline guessed that she had figured out what was going on but she couldn’t dwell on that. Angel needed her moreCaroline hands cradl
The three of them soon arrived at the Morgan’s mansion. The good thing was that her father had called earlier and told her that he would be spending sometimes at a friend’s house. So, for the time being Wesley could come in to her house only for the sake of the Angel, nothing else.He carried Angel from his car and Caroline followed them in to the house.Luke parked Caroline ‘s car as he was the one tasked to drive it back to the mansion.Even the maid had noticed the change in Angel as soon as she entered in to the house with Wesley. They ate and played together until Angel was tired. She fell asleep in his arms and that was when Wesley took her to her bedroom to sleep.He kissed her cheeks and stayed looking at her adorable face. There were so many things that he regretted in this life, letting Caroline and Angel go was the most important one. Until now, he didn’t realize how much she needed his precious girls in his life.When he got back to the living room, Caroline was sipping a
“Hi sweethearts …” Monica greeted as soon as she hugged Caroline and Angel at the same time. “I have been calling you like forever. I was worried about you being near that animal, Jack. What happened?” she asked with concern.In fact, she had called so many times and no one picked up.“It is along story, bestie. I will tell you when I have time but now, I need you to watch over Angel because I need to do something very important. I promise that I will tell you when I come back. “She hurriedly said and kissed Angel’s forehead.“Stay with aunt Monica, I will be right back. Please don’t give her trouble , baby. Are we clear? “Angel nodded obediently and then went to keep herself busy.Monica looked at Caroline’s retrieving body and thought that something was odd. so, she called Isabel to come over so that they would be there for her. She was acting mysteriously for her liking.Upon reaching the Morgan mansion, Caroline found new security guards. At first sight, they didn’t even recogn
“Don’t worry, go and handle your affairs. I have my own plans “Caroline replied and then Wesley pulled her in to his arms and hugged her tight. The hardest thing that he had to do was to leave her side again at this difficult point in her life.However, Winnie was troublesome.“Take good care of yourself and call me if you need anything.”Wesley instructed as he hurriedly turned and excited the house. When the car roared in to life and drove out of the house, she found herself feeling lonely. Everything that Jack did to her came back haunting her. It was bearable when Wesley was around.Even if Wesley hurt her in the past but he wa showing that he was changing.Right after he had left, Megan came to visit.Caroline invited her in to the living room. She knew that they had a lot to discuss about and she couldn’t wait to hear what she has for her. It has been depressing not knowing what Jack was up to.“Caro, are you feeling better now? I heard that you were taking a nap. Are you still
Caroline woke up feeling out of place. The house wasn’t hers, it wasn’t even decorated according to her taste and preferences. She hated the color yellow. Everywhere that she turned, the ugly theme was staring back at her.This house screamed of everything about Paula. Anyway, it didn’t matter, the end results was what was important. She needed the house for a short while and then later on she could leave it behind. Besides her, Angel was coiled in a deep sleep. She caressed her cheeks and then climbed out of the bed. The moment that she reached the living room, a mouthwatering aroma of food caught her nose and she couldn’t help but follow the scent. Her stomach growled loudly, It has been a while since she had a proper meal. When she reached the kitchen, Wesley was there consumed in his cooking. She had never seen him doing something that nice before. He was always cold and unapproachable. He was very grumpy and he never even knew what was in her kitchen.Oh…. people really do c
“Well…focus on your life now. I will search around and see who is trying to frame you, okay. I know some of my contacts who can help me with this matter. Cheer up, son. “Agnes said as she hugged his head just like she had done when he was little “I love you so much and I can never do something that will intentionally hurt you ““I know, mother. Please forgive me. You have always been there for me and I have no right to mistrust you. I guess seeing Caroline leaving with Wesley got in to my head. But why can’t things return to the way that they used to be? we used to live a simple life. No secrets, betrayals, revenge or anything similar. I miss those old good days.”“You will work hard to forget her. Please promise me. She will never be good for you. You have lived a very sad life and you deserve someone who will love you for who you are. You need someone who will compensate for all those years that you were alone. “Agnes stated.Jack only stared at her and then kissed the back of her h
Jack started thinking seriously about the conversation that she just had with Caroline. There was someone trying to twist the situation and make him look like he was the murderer. Was there someone who hated the Morgan family?His eyes turned dark immediately as he asked coldly “Who could be behind Dismas’s death?”A thought came in to his head. Hurriedly, he took his coat and went outside only to see Caroline getting away in Wesley’s car. How conveniently for her? She couldn’t even wait for the dust to settle on their divorce before running back to Wesley .However, now he had an important issue to talk about with his mother. She was the one who convinced him that he should take his revenge on Dismas. Was she the one responsible for that man’s death? What he knew was that Agnes hated Dismas with passion.“Hello Son. You remembered me?” Agnes greeted as soon as Jack made his way into her house.” she hadn’t seen him for quite some time and she was eager for him to tell her what has
“Uncle Jack…you promised me that you won’t hurt my Mommy. I regret ever calling you my second dad. Don’t ever come near me or my Mommy again. You don’t deserve her. “Angel said as she held on to her mother’s hands tight.“Angel, sweetie. I have nothing against you. I swear that I have always loved you and I would have loved for us to get to know each other more. Please, don’t look at me like that. If you don’t believe me, you can still stay back with me. I will spoil you so much” Jack honestly liked Angel“I will never leave my mommy’s side. she is the only one who has ever loved me not you. If you did love me then you wouldn’t have done what you did. The moment that you hurt my mommy, you did the same to me. Good bye, my mother and I will just be fine. See you never. “Angel stated and then turned to her mother “let us go, I don’t want to stay in this house anymore. I don’t like this man, he is mean. ““Goodbye, Jack” Caroline said one last time.As Caroline hurried outside the door,
“But you said that you will wait for me and I was going to keep my word, Jack. A person cannot control how her heart feels or who her heart wants but I was willing to change that because I wanted a stable life for my child. It is a shame that you didn’t believe in me and took me as your enemy when I knew nothing of what my father did to you. ““My God …you could have approached me and we would have worked out this together, Jack. What went wrong?”“Don’t you dare pretend with me. Everything went wrong the moment you appeared back in to my life. I am tired of giving love that will never be reciprocated.” he snapped.“I loved you in my own way but what hurts me the most is that you have brought an innocent child in to this mess. Jack, I trusted you with her. why did you do this to me?”“I really love the kid and she honestly have nothing to do with this but I couldn’t accept that I didn’t have you by myside. Caroline, we have been married for a couple of months now and you haven’t tri
Wesley has been with her the whole night. Not even her very own husband cared to come and ask about her health. She wanted to snap at him but she just couldn’t forget that he came through for her over and over again.Even if he doesn’t want to admit it, she knows that he was the one who saved her on the day that she was about to be killed in the forest. she can never forget his familiar scent and voice“It is nice for you to support me but this is my problem. If you don’t mind, I would like to handle it on my own. You have already wasted enough of your time taking care of me when you really didn’t have to” she said as Monica helped her pack her bagsIt was just enough for him that she was no longer looking at him with hate.“Alright …I will leave you to it then but remember that if you have any problem, call me. I will just be a phone call away “he kissed her cheeks and then hurriedly left the hospital.A while later, she had been discharged and she headed straight away to the mansi
Caroline’s face became pale “were you spying on me? Just when I thought that you are beginning to seem like a reasonable person, you go and do this to me? You two have disappointed me. I would have appreciated it if you would have just told me the truth.”“I did it in good faith because I never trusted Jack from the day your father was killed. He has been behaving oddly for a person whose wife has faced two major tragedies. If I were in his place, I would have taken a bullet for you but instead he ran away leaving you alone. Don’t you think that is odd?” Wesley asked.“And I think that the two-shooting incidence are related. I have been investigating it secretly and the ballistic report show that the same type of guns was used. So, it must be the same person responsible for the two shooting. May be, he or she hired he same people. “Zoe explained.“I am sorry to say this but why would someone assassinate your father and then immediately Jack schemes to takes his company? I might not h
