Once Caroline entered the room, she met a man. she didn’t know him that well but she was told by Larry, the outgoing CEO that he has been discussing an upcoming project with prospect of collaborating on the construction of the road leading to the North end project houses.Caroline felt that since she was going to take over, it was essential for her to meet up with the important stakeholders such as the Kingsley’s Corporation.Caroline didn’t see anything wrong with following on in a good business lead. So, she agreed to meet up with him. Even though, she thought that the time was odd, she assumed that as long as they will be in a public place nothing will happen to her.But as she stood in the private room something didn’t feel right.“Hello, I am Caroline, the CEO of Morgan corporation and I came as discussed over the phone with you. I would like us to go ahead and discuss because the time in not ideal” Caroline said out of concern. If anything happens to her in the room, she wouldn’
Wesley was really trying. He had accompanied her to the hospital all night long. Well…. that was new but she gave herself no chances to mind about Wesley. He might be just feeling guilty for his past actions but she was already over that.Right at the moment, all her worries were on that man and she was going to find him no matter what.Wesley woke up and looked at her with those adorable blue eyes.“Caroline, how are you feeling? why did you go to that dangerous place by yourself?” he asked looking concerned.“It is none of your fucking business and I didn’t need you to save me. I can protect myself on my own”Wesley scoffed as she touched her face “that was not what it looked like when you begged me to touch you in the car? Quit putting on a tough act, you are a woman who needs to be careful for the sake of our baby”“Really Wesley, I don’t blame you. By the way what were you doing there yourself?” she asked coldly.“I just wanted to cool off a bit when I realized that you were go
Whatever it was, it was none of her fucking business.“Well…...tell him to park and leave North city because in that way you can be sure that we won’t have contacts with each other, better yet tell him to stop appearing everywhere that I step, it kind of pisses me off. Anyway, thank you so much for the gift and I will remember that this is the first good thing that you have done for me. I will remember to pay you back in the future.“Alright little cousin. I will take my leave now. Please take care of yourself and don’t get into unnecessary accidents.”As soon as Paula stepped out of the office, she smiled sarcastically and muttered “Let us see who will leave North city permanently between you and me?”Out of curiosity, Caroline took out the perfume and sprayed it on the back of her hands. She smelled it and thought that it smelled nice.She shouldn’t be worried about Paula’s intention with the perfume. She just liked nice things and couldn’t wait to brag to her about it .Just then M
The car started swerving dangerously on the road. To make matters worse, the car switched on the wrong side of the road when another car appeared out from nowhere. No matter how hard she tried to step on the brakes, her legs wouldn’t respond.All that she heard next was a loud bang and then she lost consciousness.In her subconscious mind, she thought that she was dreaming.On the side of her bed, Wesley was holding her hands tight. He didn’t dare to leave even a little bit. He talked to her smoothly and kept on encouraging her to open her eyes. He even told her that he will always be there for her. To some extent, she really felt loved by him but by the end of the day , he will always be the one who betrayed her.“Wesley ……what are you doing here?” Caroline finally woke up looking disoriented. What the hell happened to me?” she asked“Ssh …..ssh…. don’t talk too much. It is a good thing that you still listed me as your next of kin and you don’t know how much I was worried when they
“Wesley, all that I did was come here to show my support for my cousin during this difficult period. Why is she picking up on me? My hands are clean and I haven’t done anything to her.” Paula said.“Caro, please don’t make baseless accusations. I will soon get to the bottom of this, okay “Wesley commented.“Thank you for believing in my innocence. I love you more. Anyway, I have got to go take care of something important. I will meet you at home. “Paula said and then hugged Wesley before exiting the room.As soon as she closed the door, an ugly frown appeared on her face. she stomped her legs impatiently before dialing a number “Did you get there on time?” she asked.“Of course, our guy in the police have already taken care of everything. You should rest assured that things are in order “the man said.“I will send you the money that we agreed on just make sure that you destroy the evidence. I don’t want things getting back to me. understood?” she asked looking deadly.Caroline, why di
“Don’t talk too loud, Angel might hear our conversation and I don’t want her to hear that her aunt is a bad woman without any principles. “Caroline whispered on her ears to make her lower her voice.“What should we do with her?” Monica asked.“Nothing for now. Even Wesley doesn’t believe that Paula tried to kill me, just imagine what other people will say?” I have lived a life of fear in the past but not anymore. I will let her do as she pleases but, in the future, she will be bound to make some mistakes. “Caroline said coldly.“Let us burn her house down. Then we will drive her out of North city. What do you think?” Monica suggested.“Okay, just be my friend and don’t give me bad ideas. The fact that Paula is rotten doesn’t mean that I have to become like her ““Grow up, girl. When are you ever going to stand up for yourself? Do you like being bullied by those two-faced idiots. If you don’t I will take matters into my own hands.” She threatened.“Monica, don’t be a spoiled brat. Do w
Wesley looked cold, she couldn’t tell what was bothering him.“How are you feeling? I am so sorry that I disappeared on you but there has been something bothering me “he said as he looked at her with concern “I came back this morning and I had to see you “he added.“Cut to the chase, Wesley, what do you want?” Caroline became rude. He definitely knew that he wanted something from her and her illness was the least of his concerns. He hadn’t even bothered to call all these days after all.“The funds that you pulled from company is causing me a lot of problems. We are almost going bankrupt. I am sorry I couldn’t come to see you because I went to the South city to try and sort issues with the employees.”“And ….” Caroline asked lazily.“The workers went on strike and they don’t want to listen to me. As we speak, the only project that is running in Storm Corporation is the South end Project which you are responsible. I have been searching for the CEO of Privet corporation but I couldn’t ge
“How can I fucking piss off my biggest investor, Caroline? I will never forgive you for taking my business away and destroying all my life work. ““Okay…the meeting is over. Go and cry over the end of your business empire. It doesn’t concern me. I simply saw a business opportunity and I took it. “Caroline said as she opened her computer and started doing her work.“You heard her clearly. What are you still waiting for?” Jack entered inside the office with a cup of coffee on his hands “Darling, I brought you something to replenish your energy “the man said and then kissed her cheeks.“Thanks, I appreciate, darling” she replied with a warm smile on her face.“ I am so proud of you for dealing with your enemies . But you didn’t need to do it on your own. You could have asked me “Jack said as he sat down on the visitor chair completely ignoring a certain person who was in the office.“Wesley, I hope that you wouldn’t mind leaving us alone. We request for some alone time as couples. Than
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
