Carolina could not help the disturbing feeling that kept hovering over her mind. The thoughts of Mirabel doing something mischievous were creeping her out and she struggled to focus on having fun like Connor suggested as they moved about the skating rink.Carolina was not comfortable with the fact that Mirabel whom she has not set her eyes on for days was right there with them all of a sudden. Her presence alone screams trouble and Carolina was slowly getting overwhelmed with worry.She kept wondering why Mirabel decided to show up all of a sudden after ghosting everyone for a long time now. She was sure that Mirabel's presence means that she was up to something that is not going to be favorable for anyone and the thoughts of what might be up her sleeves kept Carolina worried.Connor thought as much too, he was not also comfortable with having Mirabel around since everything about her was bad. Connor resolved that he was going to be on guard to see that whatever plans Mirabel had for
Mr. Gregory, Connor's uncle became livid when he saw Hardulph in the skating rink, holding Mirabel and skating around with her.His eyes widened in shock as he thought of the possibility of Mirabel inviting Hardulph to come skating with her because he did not expect to see Hardulph there. Mr. Gregory let out a snarl and banged his hands on the table before him angrily."This is the height of it. How could Mirabel do something as stupid as inviting the same guy I warned her about to skate with her? And now my plans of getting rid of Carolina for good have been disrupted" Mr. Gregory growled, glaring at Hardulph with fiery eyes. "And she said nothing was going on between the both of them. How could Mirabel be this dumb to bring her weakness along during an operation and now look what he has done" Mr. Gregory spat angrily.If it was possible for him, he would have gone down to the rink himself and dealt with Hardulph for making his plans flop again. Connor's uncle was filled with so muc
Carolina was at first bewildered that there was no one in the direction Mirabel was looking at. She looked side to side at the position Mirabel was looking at over and over again but still, no one was in sight. Carolina was surprised, she turned to look at Mirabel to see that she was still glancing behind like she was seeing someone on the vacant seat. Carolina was beyond confused with Mirabel's act."Is Mirabel slowly losing her sanity?" She thought within herself, checking around again to see if she could see whomever Mirabel was looking for."There is no one there, why then is Mirabel looking behind like someone is watching her? Has she developed sort of a mental problem or are her evil acts haunting her now?" Carolina thought aloud, her eyes squinted in Mirabel's direction.Connor became curious to see what Carolina stood at a place staring at and so approached her quietly."What are you looking at?" He asked in a whisper, curiosity dripping out of his tune.Carolina did not flin
Mirabel was no more concentrating as she skated around with Hardulph. Her mind was not at rest and she was so scared of what the outcome of what happened today would be.Her mind raced back to the way Connor's uncle warned her seriously against Hardulph and gulped down nothing.With what he had done today, Mirabel was certain that Connor's uncle would use it against her since she denied ever having anything to do with Hardulph, she feared for her dear life.Hardulph noticed how restless and afraid Mirabel had been since the moment he caught her off guard by swirling her around when she was skating towards Carolina from behind.He knew something was amiss with the way she was behaving and with how pallid her features appeared. The lady before him is not the same person he had been hanging out with, something was wrong with her because the Mirabel he knew was lively and always ready to have fun. He was slightly curious to know the reason for her strange behavior but because of his plan
In the meantime, Connor and Carolina resumed skating around, taking their mind off anything that would lead back to the thoughts of Mirabel. Besides, they were in the skating rink to have fun and not to ponder about the well-being of someone who can be considered more as an enemy than a friend.Carolina soon felt the urge to use the bathroom."Connor, I will be right back" she started to say as she tried skating away but Connor was quick to hold her back possessively."Where are you off to?" He demanded in a serious tone. Carolina could see the slight look of worry and fear in his eyes, she wouldn't blame him though, a lot has happened in their lives these few weeks."The restroom, I will be quick" She answered."I will go with you then" He replied and Carolina stared at him in disbelief."To the female restroom? Come on" She uttered and chuckled lowly.Connor pouted his lips like a little kid hating the idea of letting Carolina out of his sight even if it was for a little while. How
Hardulph was curious to know why Connor was suddenly angry when he learned that Mirabel was in the restroom. He was confused because he did not expect such a reaction from Connor. For all Hardulph knew, Connor hates Mirabel with everything in him so why does it look like he is suddenly worried about where she had gone off to?"Is there a problem?" Hardulph narrowed his eyes at Connor who cursed inaudibly while pushing his fingers into his hair in frustration."Of course, there is a big problem. Mirabel is in the same restroom where my mate had gone off to. It's been a while since Carolina left and she has not returned. Don't you think that something wrong is going on there? You and I know how bad their relationship is Hardulph." Connor rapped and dashed out of the skating rink.Hardulph finally understood the reason Connor asked Mirabel. He didn't waste time in following Connor, skating closely behind him.The both of them rushed to the female restroom to see for themselves what the
The man's face had some cuts and bruises which he sustained from Connor's punches. He had a black eye already but Connor did not look like he cared. He tightened his hold on the man's neck, his fingers digging deep into his skin. Connor hit the man again and his nose bleed still he wasn't satisfied.He punched him over again until his fist was stained with blood and the man's face was covered in his blood. His lips were swollen and saliva was starting to drip from his mouth.Connor wanted to end this man once and for all but the thoughts of losing vital information which will go a long way in seeing that he can decipher the identity of the unknown blackmailer who brought nothing but sorrow to his home made him force himself to stop.He snarled at the man whose face was already bloody."Who are you and what is your mission here?" Connor gritted out. The young man went mute, not willing to say a word to Connor, this got him infuriated as he pulled the man up with his hands, away from
Mirabel could not resist the lingering feeling that Connor's uncle was the one behind her attack but at the same time, she felt like it was another person who was after her life.Mirabel trusted Mr. Gregory so much that she doubted he would do something so brutal to her even without hearing from her side of the story."Maybe he had sent that man after me to instill fear in me and also to remind me that he would do whatever he threatens to do to me. Maybe he didn't mean to injure me so badly" Mirabel thought to herself.Though she was unsure of the exact reason Connor's uncle decided to threaten her life the way he did, she knew he was not two-faced, especially when it comes to their plans. He definitely wouldn't hurt Mirabel especially when she still has a huge role to play in seeing that his plans come into existence.Mirabel did not want to keep thinking that Connor's uncle was the one that wanted to harm her and so she shoved the thoughts away.Mirabel as well thought that maybe h
