Carolina’s body grew cold as she listened to Connor’s words. She could not deny the fact that she was traumatized about going back to the same place that held lots of sad memories for her.She was trapped for days in a basement without food or water in that house. Roseanne died in that same house and she got the news of Kayla’s mysterious attack and death in that place too. Carolina’s body shuddered with fear at the thought of going back there and her face became pale because she was scared.“Hmm? How about that?” Connor muttered, snapping her out of her scary reverie. “I think it’s the best thing to do at this time since tolerating my mother has become such a tedious task for you and it’s not like you are even putting any effort to see that your relationship with her changes for the better,” Connor gritted.Carolina was at a loss for words, she could not believe Connor was the one saying all these to her when he knows clearly that his mother has been the person making things diffic
Mirabel who had been watching Connor from the time he entered the kitchen till when he struggled into his room came out of Kourtney's room where she had been hiding.A satisfied smile played on her lips as she watched Connor stagger into his room. Unknown to him or his mother, Mirabel had sneaked into the kitchen a few minutes after Kourtney left and had spiked the fruit juice which Kourtney had left for her son, Connor.She clapped her hands excitedly and let out a gleeful cackle before tiptoeing into the room Connor shared with Carolina. She made sure to close the door without making a sound so as not to alert Kourtney before proceeding to lock it securely.She knelt beside Connor who was sprawled on the floor and sleeping deeply, she raised her hands to his face and traced it lovingly, a wide grin spreading across her face. Nothing made her happier than having Connor in this condition, she was happy he fell into her traps.She stood up from the floor and began to arrange Connor's b
Carolina left Connor's mansion angrily and went to the school's hostel to settle in for the meantime. She kept pacifying herself not to be bothered or depressed by Connor's actions. On the other hand, Connor tried to open his eyes but they felt way too heavy for him to do. Still, he forced himself and slowly opened his eyes.Everything felt strange to him at first as he lay unmoving on his bed, just staring at the ceiling in the room. He was slowly regaining consciousness as the memories of all that happened earlier that day came rushing.He recalled the slight argument he had with Carolina and the fact that he couldn't find her or her bags in the room when he returned. He was sure she had left for the mansion on her own because she was mad at him. Connor palmed his face in frustration and let out a strained groan.He still felt sluggish and weak as the effects of the substance in the juice were still wearing off. Amidst the strange tiredness, Connor forced himself to sit up from the
Connor cursed inaudibly while pulling his hair in frustration, his whole body felt itchy and he was visibly worried. He closed the room door which Mirabel forgot to close when she hurried out properly and then proceeded to clean up his body.He felt disgusted with the fact that Mirabel had touched him and so he scrubbed his body harder than he used to. When he was done, he changed into something casual and packed some of his clothes into a bag.Since Carolina had left without him, he was going to go back to the mansion on his own and meet her there. Connor was convinced that Carolina was going to be home and nowhere else and so he hurried up so that he can get to the house on time. As he rushed down the stairs, Kourtney ran up to him and blocked him from exiting the house. She had a stubborn look on her face and even if Connor's demeanor wasn't all that friendly, she wasn't shaken. Besides, Connor was her son so what would he do to hurt her?Connor groaned deeply. "Not now mother, I
Connor drove straight to Carolina’s college at a high speed. He was expecting to see Carolina as soon as he drove into the school but what he expected was not what he got as there were lots of people waiting to be attended to. Connor felt that the long queue was in his favor because he will get to talk with Carolina before she signs up to be given a room in the school's hostel.Connor came down from his car and inhaled the air but strangely enough, he could not detect Carolina's scent. His brows furrowed in confusion but still, he did not give up on his search. As he approached the queue of young students waiting to be attended to, he picked up a faint scent of her. His eyes twitched and he began to scan the environment for any trace that could lead him to her.Not getting any positive result, he walked straight to the receptionist on the counter."Mister, you should stay on the line. Besides, this is not the queue for males" the receptionist stated, her face buried in the pile of f
Hardulph assisted Carolina in getting into his car, when he was sure she was comfortable in the passenger’s seat, he closed the door properly before proceeding to the driver’s seat so that he would drive her home as promised. Though Carolina was not all comfortable with going back to the mansion with Hardulph, she tried not to show it as she took her face out of the car window and stared at the busy streets as they drove by.“So how has it been with Connor?” Hardulph tried to start a conversation with Carolina. She only turned to gaze at him suspiciously.“Did Connor tell you to come and get me?” she inquired with narrowed eyes.“Of course not. Me and Connor have not been in touch for a long time now” Hardulph defended himself but still Carolina was not convinced.She could not deny that she was feeling so uneasy riding in the same car as Hardulph. Her mind was troubled because she kept wondering if her encounter with Hardulph was a coincidence as he claimed or if there was something
"Excuse me!" Carolina retorted, turning abruptly to stare at Hardulph. She was sure she heard him call her Liliana but the question is."Why would Hardulph regard me as Liliana? Is he now saying things" Carolina thought within herself?"What did you just call me?" Carolina asked with a look of confusion on her features, "me,? I didn't say anything" Hardulph defended himself."You just referred to me as Liliana, I'm sure I didn't hear wrongly" Carolina stood her ground."No, I did not. Why will I call you that?" Hardulph denied it immediately.Carolina's eyes squinted at him. “If you didn't call me that name, then what did you say?" She questioned, slowly placing her hand on her waist."Carolina. That's what I called you, Carolina" Hardulph replied and Carolina's brows furrowed, if there was any other phrase stronger than being confused, that was the situation she was in. "Oh I see the confusion here, you misheard me" Hardulph chortled."You know Carolina sounds the same as Liliana, I
Connor was devastated when he heard the words that rolled out of Carolina's tongue. He was in a state of confusion and fear as he tried to understand why his mate was suddenly being strange."Carolina you need to calm down. I know you are still mad at me because of the argument we had back in my parent's house but you are taking it too far, calm down and let's talk this out ok?" Connor tried to reason with her.Carolina let out a snort when Connor finished talking to her about being calm."Talk about what Connor? Have you been practicing the flimsy excuses you would give me for engaging in such a dirty act?" Carolina flared up. Connor felt like a dirty liquid has been splashed on him with the way Carolina replied to him, he took a step backward. Connor did not seem to understand a thing she was saying, different thoughts kept running through his mind."What dirty act is Carolina accusing me of? What is it that I have done to hurt her so much" Connor pondered with his hands on his chi
