Connor's nose flared as his face scrunched up. For a second, he was trying to fathom what could have led Carolina to think that she was a commodity that he bought. He wanted to know what was going through her mind and with the tears that welled up in her eyes, he would see the tears that were threatening to fall."You know that is not true! You and I know that is not true" Connor's voice broke down because, with the tears that formed in Carolina's eyes, it felt as if his heart was being shredded to pieces. It was now starting to make sense to Carolina. Why he always stared at her with those glossy eyes that usually held so much passion for her, the way he always looked at her, talked to her, was lenient with her, it was all starting to make sense to Carolina. But, she was now starting to understand that maybe even before she knew that Connor was her mate, Connor had known her all along. He knew that she was his mate and that was the reason why he used the debt in tying her down."Thi
Liliana's eyes grew wide and maybe it was because of the shock or because she wasn't trying to accept what was happening at the moment because there was no way Connor would get her arrested over something as flimsy as that. Different thoughts coursed through her mind as she stared at the handcuff in her hands, still trying so hard to believe what was happening at the moment."You are under arrest and you have the right to stay silent because anything that you say would be used against you in a court of law," The police officers said while Liliana's brows furrowed in confusion. She couldn't believe that she was being arrested at that moment. It was something that she would have never imagined in her wildest dreams.Suddenly, she snapped back to her senses and screamed at the top of her lungs. "Connor, Kayla, please have mercy on me and don't get me arrested. I am sorry for everything that I have said and I am sorry for treating you badly, Carolina" Liliana pleaded with teary eyes, sh
Carolina hated herself at that moment, she hated herself because she knew that she was crumbling to his touch despite the grudge that she held towards him. He broke the kiss, causing Carolina to control her breath."W-What the hell are you doing and what the hell are you doing..." Before she could finish talking, Connor slammed his lips on hers as he wrapped his hands around her waist. She attempted to slap his chest so that he would pull away but she didn't because as soon as she raised her hands, her hands dangled helplessly by her side. Crazily, she found herself kissing him back. The urge for him to take her was so strong. However, she knew that she shouldn't be doing that. She was angry with him and everyone in the house and the last thing that she should be doing was kissing him on the lips. There was this powerful aura that he exuded that caused her to remain still as he kissed her in an intense, ferocious, yet, sweet manner.Connor brushed his nose through hers as he glide
Connor was enraged with Carolina and most especially, he hated the way she talked to him so bluntly, he hated the way she said she was going to reject him as her mate. Carolina's heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw the way Connor's eyes flicked from a pitch-black color before turning into their original color.Her instinct told her that if she doesn't get out of that bed as fast as possible, then he might devour her when it is too late. Her eyes fell on his fingers that were slowly changing into claws and at that instant, she knew that he was about to change into his werewolf form.Most importantly, she knew that she was the cause of it. She attempted to stand from the bed but he held her by his wrist, tightening his grip around her wrist as she leaned against the headboard while he leaned forward with his face so close to hers. She could feel his breath all over her face and it evaded her senses."Carolina, it doesn't matter if you reject me or not. If I would be hones
Connor made way for his office and he couldn't help but be proud of Scott because of how he handled the company in his absence. There wasn't any loss of any sort and instead, the company rose in stocks. Scott Rogers came inside the company with his head ducked while folding his hands behind his back as he fiddled with his fingers. Connor's eyes traveled from his face to his shirt that was unbuttoned and as much as Connor was proud of him, he couldn't help but lash out at him for being so oblivious to the fact that a button was missing.Connor swirled slowly in his swivel chair before making the chair come to an abrupt stop. Connor stood from his chair and sauntered toward Scott Rogers who quivered in fear. He placed his hands on his shoulder, patting him slowly on the shoulder."I am curious about something. Is it because I left the company in your care and that made you think that you are the new boss?" Connor said in an eerily calm tone that sent shivers down one's spine.Connor's
The smug smile that stretched on Liliana's lips ended up infuriating Connor as he raised a brow and glared furiously at Liliana with his fist clenched by his side. Her words kept resounding in his ear and no matter how much he tried to process what she meant by the beginning of the end.Connor leaned in the chair with his hands crossed over his chest as he nibbled on his lips. He kept his gaze fixed on Liliana who stared at him with eyes devoid of emotion. For a second, he was starting to wonder where she got the sudden boldness from and how she went from pleading for mercy to being embroidered in the apparel of boldness."What do you mean by this is the beginning and not the end?" Connor asked as he cocked his brow to the left with his arms still crossed over his chest.Liliana chuckled lightly as she expelled a sigh and shook her head slowly. "Why are you curious? Do you think that I would be defeated just because you got me arrested? Do you think that a mere arrest would stop me f
The bomb blast was still a mystery to Connor as he stood at a distance watching how the remains of Liliana were lowered six feets under the ground. His throat suddenly went dry and that was because of the guilt that he felt inside of him.Different voices kept screaming in his head that he was the reason for her death because if he hadn't gotten her arrested, then she would have been alive till this day. It was such a miracle that he was there to witness her burial because her father dared to end his life if he ever spots Connor.However, after much pleading from Connor's parents and Connor trying to justify why he got Liliana arrested, he was finally allowed to witness her burial and that was on the condition that he must watch her being laid down from a distance. Carolina came in the company of Roseanne who held an umbrella for her and she stopped on her track when she caught sight of Connor who stood rigid on the same spot. She brushed her hands through her neck and motioned for R
Connor's mother cocked her brow to the left as she glanced back and forth between Carolina and Connor. The look on her face was so deadly that if looks could kill, then she would have been long dead. Carolina's voice hitched as she brushed her fingers through her neck. Her stomach tied a knot and that was because of the state of nervousness that she was thrown in.She knew that if she didn't say a word, then would find herself in a situation that she doesn't want to find herself in. She was about to say a word when she suddenly recollected the word that she heard Connor say. Carolina turned to look at Connor as they both locked eyes together."The lady that I want to get married to?" Carolina repeated. When Connor caught on to what was going on at the moment, he pulled Carolina by the shoulder, squeezing her gently on the shoulder while flashing his white dental at his mum in an awkward manner.He leaned by his side a bit as he whispered into her ear."Just play along and don't say a
