Luc was at first, horrified to find Carolina all alone in the dark basement, sprawled on the cold floor and in a critical condition at that. He was not pleased to behold her pale skin tone and sunken cheeks but he was still very happy to see that Carolina was still alive. He stared at her in pity, "How did she end up here in the first place?" He wondered. She had been starved for two days now, his heart melted for her.On the other hand, Carolina's mind was racing. She was trying her best to figure out what Luc was doing in the basement which she thought was haunted and had no escape route. She recalled there was a secret door that led to the exit, "Perhaps he has come in from there" She reasoned but was not still convinced as to how Luc was able to find his away around the basement.From every ramifications, she knew Connor and Luc were never in good terms and so the guards must hate him too. "How then did Luc come in freely without being apprehended by Connor's guards? Did he figh
Connor felt uncomfortable with the whole events that had been going on. No matter how much he thought about it, it was no more news to him that all that had happening to him was planned, a long time ago.He let his mind wander off to possibilities of the people who could be behind all this. His first suspect was Luc. Connor was aware of how much Luc hated him, he knew that Luc could go to any extent to see to his downfall and that made him believe that Luc could be the unknown blackmailer. There were lots of incidents to prove his allegation towards Luc but no matter how hard he thought of it, he couldn't find any tangible reason to blame Luc. He recalled that when he was engaged in a fight with Luc, Kayla was attacked. "How then is he the one behind it?" He wondered, "perhaps he now have lots of people working for him" Connor reasoned again his hands rubbing his jaw.There was every possibilities to point out Luc as the unknown blackmailer but who was he working with?.Connor was
Mirabel got to the door leading to Liliana's dark basement, she was glad to see that door was securely bolted just as she left it.She was elated that no one had bothered to check the basement nor found out about her mischief or so she thought.She slowly unbolted the door and peeped inside the basement. She couldn't see clearly because everywhere was dark and so she put on her flashlight.She flashed it all over the space in search of Carolina whom she believed was still locked in but was disappointed in not seeing her.Her skin began to creep and she was becoming afraid and alarmed at the same time. She cleaned her eyes to make sure she was seeing clearly and when she opened them, Carolina was still not there. She grabbed a fistful of her hair in frustration."Where in the world is that witch of a person? Where is that stupid girl hiding?" She asked rhetorically, through gritted teeth.She was starting to go crazy because she couldn't find Carolina anymore. She took out anything tha
Connor made to follow Jack out of the control room and out of the hospital in general but something caught his eye. From the monitor screen, he could see the doctors covering Kayla and wheeling her out of the ward.He ran back to them immediately and blocked them, "where are you taking her to?" He demanded angrily. He was trying his best not to yank the white cloth that covered his dead cousin away from her face."We need to carry out an autopsy test on her to see if she was injected with something apart from the removal of her life support machine and if the murderer touched her by mistake, His fingerprints can be checked and his identity determined" the doctor explained.Jack overhead everything because he was just behind Connor, he slowly took Connor's hand. "Let them do their job Alpha while we focus on bringing miss Carolina home" he persuaded Connor.Connor was reluctant to move out of the way but he still did move and paved way for the medics to take Kayla away. He kept stand
Connor stared at Roseanne for a long time trying to figure out what she was talking about, he was still trying to understand how Mirabel could blame Roseanne for the mysterious disappearance of his mate."Was Mirabel right? Does Roseanne have something to do with it as Mirabel claimed? Or is Mirabel hiding something?" He thought within himself.He turned to Roseanne, "Why should I believe you? I know Mirabel can be cruel but she's a changed person" Connor said and Roseanne shook her head."Forgive me Alpha if I am trespassing my boundaries, I think Miss Mirabel is not all as innocent as she claimed. No matter how hard I try not to see it, I believe that miss Mirabel has a hand in the mysterious story of My lady" Roseanne reportedConnor's ears twitched and he stared at Roseanne in suspicion, he took his hands to his face and tugged at his chin, "That's a huge allegation right there young lady, you are aware of the consequences if you're wrong. Still, I will investigate your story" Con
Carolina blinked countlessly at Luc's revelation, her body grew cold as she recollected that Connor had told her something about Luc some time ago.Luc is a bad guy, he is dangerous too. Connor had told her that Luc was the name of one man he had killed but didn't know how he was saved. It was all making sense to her now, it never occurred to her that Luc could be the same person Connor had told her about.Realization dawned on her and she swallowed sharply, Luc was the man Connor was talking about, no wonder he was so overprotective of her when it comes to Luc. This also explains their strong hatred toward each other. She was curious to know the story behind it but at the moment, her body was cold with fear.Carolina began to dress back on the bed, she didn't want to stay close to Luc because she was now afraid of him.On the other hand, Luc was happy that she had finally calmed down, he made to touch her hand but she fled like Luc's hand was suddenly made of fire. Luc was perplexed,
Connor was confused as to the relationship Mirabel shared with his uncle, Mr. Gregory. He never expected the person Mirabel accorded so much respect and had sneaked out to see was his uncle and so he was perplexed.He didn't just want to stand at the side and watch them, he wanted to know what their relationship was all about and so he confronted them.Mirabel heard footsteps approaching her from behind and turned abruptly, on the other hand, Mr. Gregory raised his eyes to see the intruder, and they were both surprised to see Connor. "Connor? How did you get here?" Mr. Gregory asked in shock while Mirabel watched Connor come closer like she was in a trance. Connor got to them and stared at both of the expressionlessly.His uncle pulled his hand, "I never expected to see you here son, but all the same, you're welcome to join us" Mr. Gregory offered with a bright grin while crossing his hands over Connor's shoulders.Connor did not seem enthusiastic about the offer, he kept staring at
Luc came back to the room minutes later and served Carolina who ate slowly. Her mind was in turmoil as she wondered why Connor had not bothered to come and get her. She could not deny how much she hated Connor for turning her life upside down but on the other hand, she missed him and wanted to go back to him. She missed her room in the mansion and the workers too. She wished she would be taken back home.Her mind wandered to the offer Connor had made earlier before she was locked in, about her going back to college and she sighed. She hoped the offer would still be on even when she goes back home.She had wanted to Leave Connor but at the moment, she wanted nothing more than to go back to the place she had considered home since her father sold her off. She was not concentrating on the food she was having anymore and so pushed the cup of water mistakenly. It fell with a loud clash and broke into pieces"I'm so sorry" Carolina apologized immediately and made to pick up the pieces but
