An eerie silence fell throughout the living room with Mirabel's outburst. The mocking smile Mirabel had on was still dancing on her lips in sarcasm.She held her chin and shoulders high while chewing and popping her bubble gum annoyingly as she watched Connor and Carolina curiously to know their reaction.Carolina was beyond confused, her mouth hung open with shock at Mirabel's speech."I am not who Connor thinks I am? Where is that coming from? What in the world is she talking about? What proof does she even claim to have!" Carolina screamed in her mind, her eyes widened in astonishment at Mirabel whose mouth was making loud sounds as she chewed on her gum without care.Carolina tried so hard to make meaning out of the words Mirabel was spurting out of her deceptive tongue, but couldn't bring herself to understand the very reason Mirabel was saying such silly things about her.Connor as well did not say a word to Mirabel even after she had revealed that Carolina was not who he though
Mirabel was thrown outside the mansion gate, before she could stand and rush back to enter the gate, it was banged straight in her face.Mirabel felt utterly embarrassed by how she was treated by Connor's guards. Her heart was filled with anger and grief. She dusted her clothes and began to make her way back to the basement where Liliana had taken her after they captured her.Mirabel drove for a long while and finally got to her destination, she parked her car very far from where she would be going, just like Liliana had ordered. She made sure to look around her vicinity to be sure no one was watching her before proceeding to enter the shabby-looking uncompleted building, surrounded by bushes and located in a place far away from residential areas. Mirabel bent her head so that her hair wouldn't get trapped in the huge spider webs hanging on the ceilings of the building. Her face was scrunched in distaste and she was utterly disgusted by the sight of the building's interior.Not to me
Mirabel could not believe her ears and her eyes as well. She felt like she was hearing things and was in disbelief.She slowly took the phone from Liliana whose face was still in a big grin and stared at the picture curiously. She did not need any more proof to show how true Liliana's words were.Right before her very own eyes and in Liliana's phone, Mirabel could see the man she had been slowly falling for clearly on the screen. Her eyes watered as she stared at his very happy smile but he was not alone. A beautiful lady who was equally smiling at him stood beside him. Her pregnancy bulge was very much visible and Hardulph's hands securely wrapped around her waist possessively.Mirabel let out a bitter cackle as she stared at the picture over and over again."Hardulph already had a mate before now? This doesn't make sense" she started to say. "But it is" Liliana shrugged and took her phone away from Mirabel's hands."How come he never mentioned it? How come he had been so kind to m
Carolina returned to school after her fight with Connor regarding Jackson's offer to take her home in his car.She tried to avoid Jackson in any way she could but it was of no use because they attended the same meeting and so met with each other every day.It was on one of these occasions that he decided to invite Carolina to a house party."Hey Carolina, you've not been around. I hope all is well" Jackson requested when he saw Carolina one time in the hallway."Of course Jackson, there's absolutely nothing wrong" she returned with a nervous smile on her face."Very good then, I was wondering if you are going to be free on Friday" he started to say. Carolina narrowed her eyes at him."Why? What is happening on Tuesday?" Carolina returned."Remember when I told you about my friend that kept getting threats from his roommate at his house?" Jackson asked and Carolina nodded in affirmation.“Of course, I remember. What about it?" She asked."Well, we decided to move in together and so we
Connor paced about his room that night still dialing Carolina's number. He just wasn't feeling good about the whole studying out late thing Carolina stated that she would be doing.The thought that something was going wrong with Carolina kept nudging at the back of his head and he was seriously worried about her well-being."Pick up already, talk to me" Connor muttered with creased brows, thinking of what could keep Carolina's line unreachable.A knock sounded on his room door and Jack poked his face in, "Alpha Connor" he greeted with a bow and entered fully inside the room."What news have you brought? I hope it will be something profitable, if not, keep it until I'm ready to hear you out" Connor uttered, paying less attention to Jack who was standing before him."It's about Miss Carolina" Jack reported and Connor turned to him immediately, giving him all of his attention."What about her? Have you found any trace of where she might be? Is she safe? Bring her back home right now" Con
Connor was told on the phone that Carolina was home, "Someone brought her back home, she looks so pale and sick" the maid reported. Connor was furious at Carolina but it was not the right time and place to express his anger, "Take her to her room immediately and call the family doctor to attend to her at once" he ordered."Yes Alpha" the maid concurred, "And as for who brought her home. Make sure he doesn't live in the mansion. Keep him, hostage, until I have returned. If I come home and learn the person had left, then all of you at home will pay dearly. I am on my way" Connor ordered and took the phone off his ear.He stared at the Vice-chancellor one more time before making his way outside the office. Jack simply apologized to him for the inconvenience they caused on behalf of Connor and followed him out too. Connor's heart felt like it was shredding into two, it hurts so much to learn that his mate lied to him but at the same time, he was willing to hear what she had to say about
Connor was at a loss of speech as he stared at Carolina with a surprised expression. "Did she just lie to me so as not to disclose where she had been the night before?" Connor pondered in his heart, refusing to believe Carolina would be bold enough to lie to his face."Did you say you were reading for a test?" He asked in a small voice to confirm her words, uncertainty in his tune.Carolina nodded abruptly, refusing to make eye contact with him so that he wouldn't see beneath her lies, "Yes, I thought you received my message about my plans of not returning home because I had to stay back and study. Why does it seem like you did not see it?" Carolina returned and Connor blinked countlessly.He folded his hands in a fist and gnashed his teeth against the other as he stared at Carolina with mixed feelings. First of disappointment, betrayal, heartbreak, and worst of all, anger. Carolina swiveled her room with a puzzled expression, "Connor, my throat feels so dry. I will like to go down t
Connor was taken aback by Carolina's words. His brows furrowed and his face became pallid."Su.. suffocated? You've always felt suffocated here?" Connor stuttered, trying hard not to believe his ear."Exactly Connor, suffocated, that's how I feel here" Carolina snapped instantly, glaring at Connor. "I can't believe this, this is unbelievable Carolina. What do you mean by feeling suffocated here? Because as far as I can remember, Carolina. There is nothing you have asked of me that I did not provide. I gave you everything you ever wanted Carolina, Every damn thing! So why will you utter such a thing" Connor returned in confusion."Because it is the truth Connor, the truth. I don't like it anymore here but do you care about my reasons? No!" Carolina snapped with a deep scowl.Connor rubbed his face in frustration and made to sit down on their bed, "I thought we are over this? I thought this conversation died down long ago. Why are you bringing it up again?" Connor requested in a calm t
