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
“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
