Carolina's jaw dropped as she stared at Liliana in bewilderment.
"You must be kidding, right?" Carolina scoffed while Liliana eyed her from head to toe.
"I am not kidding, why would I joke with someone who is a joke!" Carolina leaned back a bit with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Is it just I or you are exceptionally rude?" Carolina retorted, infuriating Liliana who was on the verge of exploding in anger.
She couldn't decipher how Carolina had the audacity and effrontery to talk back at her and most especially, she couldn't understand what Connor saw in someone like Carolina.
To Liliana, Carolina was someone crude and classless and she wasn't even who doesn't even deserve to stand before her. The more she stared at Carolina whose eyes were a flicker of rage, the more she felt the wave of anger rushing inside of her.
Silence pervaded between Carolina and Liliana as they both stared daggers at each other. Liliana decided to break the silence as she cleared her throat before deciding to speak.
"As you heard earlier, I am Connor's fiancee and I don't care if you had a one-night stand with him or if you are nothing but a fling to him, the only thing I want you to know is that get out of this place"
Carolina gaped at her in silence. Even without Liliana not telling her to leave, Carolina would be pleased to get out of Connor's house but she felt the need to return the vibes she got from Liliana because she couldn't just wrap her head around her rudeness.
Maybe she shouldn't blame Liliana and maybe she should blame Connor who brought her into his house despite having someone he was betrothed to. However, the more she kept her eyes fixed on Liliana, the more she couldn't stand her rude behavior.
"I think you should have a word with Connor, instead of trying to pick a fight with me" Carolina rolled her eyes to the back, lowering her head in a sarcastic way that didn't help the situation but instead, it worsened and aggravated Liliana's anger.
She was about to turn back when Liliana charged towards Carolina, slipping her hands through her hair as she grabbed a fistful of it and jerked her backward with her hair.
"Repeat what you said! You bitch" Liliana screamed at the top of her lungs as she grabbed another fistful of Carolina's hair till she winced in pain.
Trying to dislodge Liliana's fingers, Carolina dug her sharpened nails into Liliana's fingers till blood seeped out of them. Despite the jarring pain that Liliana felt, she endured the pain and didn't release her tightened grip on Carolina's hair.
No pain caused by Carolina was worth the pain and betrayal she felt in her heart.
"I am going to kill you, I am going to kill you for ruining my life and thinking that you can take my place" Liliana gritted her teeth against each other as her eyes reddened with tears glistening in them.
The only thing she wanted to do was to skin Carolina alive and throw her out of the house.
Carolina saw how determined Liliana was and even though she contemplated fighting back against Liliana, she shoved the thoughts aside and decided to use the tussle between the two of them to her advantage.
She wished Carolina knew how much she didn't want to be here and how she was here against her will. Instead of trying to appease Liliana, Carolina blurted out cuss words in a bid to infuriate Liliana more.
"You fucking ogre, why not tame your man instead of picking a fight with me"
Triggering all her senses with the cuss words, Liliana screamed, releasing her grip around Carolina's hair as she pushed her to the ground, almost causing Carolina to hit her head against the flower vase.
Scuffling her hands through her hair in anger, Liliana searched her eyes around the room till her gaze fell on Carolina's luggage. An evil smile crept at the corner of her lips as she slipped her heels off her foot.
"I am going to throw you out of this house today!" Liliana groaned, sauntering to Carolina's luggage.
Carolina expelled a sigh of relief because Liliana was doing what she had expected her to do. She couldn't explain the excitement building inside of her as she watched Liliana kick her luggage to the floor. A maid who watched the commotion between Carolina and Liliana rushed towards Carolina, helping her to her feet.
Connor was starting to get impatient as he kept tapping his fingers on his thigh in anxiety. He peered out the window and expelled an exasperated sigh because of the traffic.
"What's going on now?isn't there another route?" Connor grunted as he glanced at his wristwatch.
"There isn't any other way and the traffic should subside soon, please be patient Alpha Connor" Jack glanced at him through the rear mirror.
In a fit of rage, Connor snarled at him as his eyes blazed with fury.
"I should be patient. I should be patient till Liliana snatches the soul out of Carolina?"
Jack ducked his dead as he apologized to Connor who shut him up instantly.
"Not another word from you!"
He dipped his hands into his pocket, bringing out his phone as he dialed a call through Liliana for the umpteenth time. He pressed the phone against his ear, waiting for her to pick up the call but when she didn't answer, a growl escaped his lips as he tossed the phone by his side.
He tried reaching everyone in the house but none of them picked up his call.
Liliana's heartbeat increased rapidly with her heart rising and falling steadily as she shot the maid who held Carolina a glare. The maid gulped, taking a step backward.
Liliana rushed toward Carolina, gripping her by the arm as she pushed her to the ground, causing her to hit her head against the luggage.
"Get out of here, you mentally deranged woman" Liliana screamed.
Carolina stood up in anger, raising her hands as she attempted to land a slap across Liliana's cheek but a voice that sent chills down her spine left her hands hanging in the air.
"What's happening here!" Connor roared.
Carolina tilted her head a bit, turning to look at the direction the voice emanated. Her hand dangled helplessly by her side as she swallowed the heavy lump that formed beneath her throat. Liliana seeing that the table turned against Carolina, rushed towards Connor with tears glistening in her eyes.Liliana forcibly found her away in his arms as her cries broke into sobs that left Connor devastated. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion because his initial thought was that Liliana would try to pick on Carolina but he was dumbfounded when he saw how Carolina almost landed a slap across Liliana's face. Carolina's mouth was slack open as she stared at the scenery happening before her. That was when she was starting to realize how cunning and manipulative Carolina could be. Different thoughts raced through her mind and the only thing she did was to cuss at herself in regret because if she could have endured all the pain Liliana caused her, then the situation would have been different and s
Connor heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Carolina who was on the indoor balcony, walking closely behind the maid who helped in carrying her luggage. His heart kind of ached for her because of the tone that depicted the rudeness that he had used on her earlier. Inside him, he was contemplating either apologizing to her after he gets back from the office or apologizing to her before he returns from his office. He ran his hands through his head frustratedly, staring at Carolina till she finally disappeared from his sight. Liliana followed the direction of Connor's eyes and when she saw that he was staring at Carolina, she clenched her fist by her side. She was more infuriated when she saw the compassion in his eyes and the more she thought about it, Connor had never stared at her the way he stared at Carolina.It made her wonder what Connor saw in Carolina for him to order her to leave his house. The image of Carolina kept replaying in her head and the more it lingered, the more di
Chapter NineChapter Title-What Happened To Us?Carolina rolled her eyes to the back as she buried her face in her palm because she knew that with Liliana standing at the door like that, another series of trouble and drama was brewing again. Connor stood to his feet swiftly as he walked towards her in a haste in a bid to stop her from causing trouble for Carolina who just woke up.He grasped her by the arm but Liliana shoved his hands off as she shot him a glare. "I want to know what's between you and this low-class lady for you to be this crazy about her" Liliana's voice quavered, almost breaking down in tears. She shot a glare at Carolina who just stared at her with a face devoid of any emotions.Connor wasn't having any of her words, the only thing he wanted to do was to get her out of Carolina's room. He glanced at Carolina who pulled her legs to her chest as she observed the scenery happening before her. Connor gave her a reassuring smile that made her cringe. Carolina glanced
Carolina's eyes grew wide as he tightened his hands around her. Her hands dangled helplessly by her side, trying to process what was going on at the moment she felt his breath all over her ear, and slowly, her knees weakened to the ground. Still confused about what could have caused Connor to hug her like that, she gathered all the strength inside of her and pushed him away. Her eyes blinked a couple of times before shifting her gaze to him. "W-What just happened right now?" She asked while he lowered his head. Her eyes traveled from his face to his hand which was bleeding, the dripping sound of the blood that fell to the ground kind of triggered her senses and the only thing she wanted to do was stop the droplets of blood that dripped to the ground. Connor's face flushed with embarrassment, he didn't know what came over him for him to just hug her like that. Maybe it was the fact that there was this excitement always building him whenever he sets his eyes on her. When he pulled h
A scoff escaped Liliana's lips as she glanced back and forth at Connor and Carolina. She was at loss for words to say! Some strands of hair that momentarily obscured her vision fell on her face as she tugged them behind her ear. Carolina, noticing how Liliana's eyes blazed with fury, forced out a smile before glancing at Connor."I am okay, I don't want to eat" The smile on her face disappeared instantly and Liliana took in a deep breath, heaving a sigh after Carolina rejected the food. She didn't know what she would do if Carolina didn’t use her sense of discernment! She was sure that she was going to rip her apart if she dared to eat the food she spent all her time preparing.A slight frown formed on Connor's face and a line formed between his brows as he dropped the fork on the plate, making a clattering sound while fixing his gaze on Carolina who was about to return her to the room."What do you mean you don't want to eat? I insist that you eat! "Liliana couldn't believe her ear
Carolina's eyes grew wide as her mouth slacked open. She ran her eyes over the wedding dress, admiring the white sparkly gown that glittered underneath the dim light.Carolina couldn't explain the excitement building inside of her on seeing the wedding dress, she was now rest assured that Connor didn't have any ulterior motive in bringing her here and since she had found out about their wedding that was coming the next two weeks, she was happy that he would finally let her go.Different thoughts raced through her mind, concerning the reason why Connor used her in exchange for a debt. "Could it be that Connor brought me here because he was having issues with Liliana and he wanted to make her jealous by bringing me here?" Carolina muttered to herself before shifting her gaze to Liliana."Your wedding dress is so pretty, I love it" Carolina squealed in excitement as she clasped her hands tightly with excitement building inside of her.Before Liliana could shut her up, Carolina pulled he
Carolina whimpered, trying to dislodge Liliana's hand away from her arm but the more she tried, the more Liliana tightened her grip around her arm. A tear slid down Carolina's cheek, struggling to remove Liliana's hands from her's. Liliana's eyes flattened, cocking her brow to the left with an evil grin crept at the corner of her lips."My first encounter with you, you talked back at me and you even attempted to hit me on the face. The second encounter with you, you brought Connor into your room and your plan was to spend the night with him but because of my quick intervention, your plan failed like always" Liliana gritted her teeth that clanged against each other.Carolina's eyes reddened, glaring furiously at Liliana who was beginning to have fun with the way she caused Carolina pain. Connor was in a board meeting and somehow, his spirit was disturbed and he had a feeling that something bad was going on at the moment. The image of Carolina kept replaying in his head. "Sir?" His p
Carolina blinked her eyes a couple of times, trying to process the word that fell out of Connor's mouth. There was a glint of doubt evident in his orbs and somehow, it annoyed her greatly. She shifted her gaze from Connor back to Liliana who took the maid's hands in hers, squeezing them gently. A pitiful expression formed on Liliana's face, stroking the maid's hair while whispering soothing words in her ear. She averted her gaze from the maid and fixed it on Carolina whose face was devoid of emotions as she gaped at the scenery happening before her."Are you deaf? Didn't you hear Connor's question? Why did you hit the maid on the head?"The first aid kit, Carolina was holding onto fell from her hands as she shot Liliana a glare."What kind of ridiculous question are you asking? Were you not the one who hurled it at her? I wouldn't deny the fact that you didn't throw it at her intentionally and I was the one you had in mind but fortunately for me, I dodged it and it hit the maid! Caro
