Chapter NineChapter Title-What Happened To Us?Carolina rolled her eyes to the back as she buried her face in her palm because she knew that with Liliana standing at the door like that, another series of trouble and drama was brewing again. Connor stood to his feet swiftly as he walked towards her in a haste in a bid to stop her from causing trouble for Carolina who just woke up.He grasped her by the arm but Liliana shoved his hands off as she shot him a glare. "I want to know what's between you and this low-class lady for you to be this crazy about her" Liliana's voice quavered, almost breaking down in tears. She shot a glare at Carolina who just stared at her with a face devoid of any emotions.Connor wasn't having any of her words, the only thing he wanted to do was to get her out of Carolina's room. He glanced at Carolina who pulled her legs to her chest as she observed the scenery happening before her. Connor gave her a reassuring smile that made her cringe. Carolina glanced
Carolina's eyes grew wide as he tightened his hands around her. Her hands dangled helplessly by her side, trying to process what was going on at the moment she felt his breath all over her ear, and slowly, her knees weakened to the ground. Still confused about what could have caused Connor to hug her like that, she gathered all the strength inside of her and pushed him away. Her eyes blinked a couple of times before shifting her gaze to him. "W-What just happened right now?" She asked while he lowered his head. Her eyes traveled from his face to his hand which was bleeding, the dripping sound of the blood that fell to the ground kind of triggered her senses and the only thing she wanted to do was stop the droplets of blood that dripped to the ground. Connor's face flushed with embarrassment, he didn't know what came over him for him to just hug her like that. Maybe it was the fact that there was this excitement always building him whenever he sets his eyes on her. When he pulled h
A scoff escaped Liliana's lips as she glanced back and forth at Connor and Carolina. She was at loss for words to say! Some strands of hair that momentarily obscured her vision fell on her face as she tugged them behind her ear. Carolina, noticing how Liliana's eyes blazed with fury, forced out a smile before glancing at Connor."I am okay, I don't want to eat" The smile on her face disappeared instantly and Liliana took in a deep breath, heaving a sigh after Carolina rejected the food. She didn't know what she would do if Carolina didn’t use her sense of discernment! She was sure that she was going to rip her apart if she dared to eat the food she spent all her time preparing.A slight frown formed on Connor's face and a line formed between his brows as he dropped the fork on the plate, making a clattering sound while fixing his gaze on Carolina who was about to return her to the room."What do you mean you don't want to eat? I insist that you eat! "Liliana couldn't believe her ear
Carolina's eyes grew wide as her mouth slacked open. She ran her eyes over the wedding dress, admiring the white sparkly gown that glittered underneath the dim light.Carolina couldn't explain the excitement building inside of her on seeing the wedding dress, she was now rest assured that Connor didn't have any ulterior motive in bringing her here and since she had found out about their wedding that was coming the next two weeks, she was happy that he would finally let her go.Different thoughts raced through her mind, concerning the reason why Connor used her in exchange for a debt. "Could it be that Connor brought me here because he was having issues with Liliana and he wanted to make her jealous by bringing me here?" Carolina muttered to herself before shifting her gaze to Liliana."Your wedding dress is so pretty, I love it" Carolina squealed in excitement as she clasped her hands tightly with excitement building inside of her.Before Liliana could shut her up, Carolina pulled he
Carolina whimpered, trying to dislodge Liliana's hand away from her arm but the more she tried, the more Liliana tightened her grip around her arm. A tear slid down Carolina's cheek, struggling to remove Liliana's hands from her's. Liliana's eyes flattened, cocking her brow to the left with an evil grin crept at the corner of her lips."My first encounter with you, you talked back at me and you even attempted to hit me on the face. The second encounter with you, you brought Connor into your room and your plan was to spend the night with him but because of my quick intervention, your plan failed like always" Liliana gritted her teeth that clanged against each other.Carolina's eyes reddened, glaring furiously at Liliana who was beginning to have fun with the way she caused Carolina pain. Connor was in a board meeting and somehow, his spirit was disturbed and he had a feeling that something bad was going on at the moment. The image of Carolina kept replaying in his head. "Sir?" His p
Carolina blinked her eyes a couple of times, trying to process the word that fell out of Connor's mouth. There was a glint of doubt evident in his orbs and somehow, it annoyed her greatly. She shifted her gaze from Connor back to Liliana who took the maid's hands in hers, squeezing them gently. A pitiful expression formed on Liliana's face, stroking the maid's hair while whispering soothing words in her ear. She averted her gaze from the maid and fixed it on Carolina whose face was devoid of emotions as she gaped at the scenery happening before her."Are you deaf? Didn't you hear Connor's question? Why did you hit the maid on the head?"The first aid kit, Carolina was holding onto fell from her hands as she shot Liliana a glare."What kind of ridiculous question are you asking? Were you not the one who hurled it at her? I wouldn't deny the fact that you didn't throw it at her intentionally and I was the one you had in mind but fortunately for me, I dodged it and it hit the maid! Caro
Liliana and Connor's eyes grew wide at the same time while Carolina watched them, wondering who was Luc for Liliana and Connor to be this surprised. She was resisting all the urge to ask about who Luc was. All of a sudden, she recollected what Jack said and how he mentioned that Luc was dead and somehow, he was alive again. "I am sorry for chiming into your conversation but what did you mean by Luc was dead and he's now alive?" Carolina questioned, fixing her gaze on Jack who stared at her with confusion evident on his face while glancing back at her and Connor. "And you are?" Jack questioned, looking at her skeptically because she kind of looked familiar to him. He mind-linked Connor, asking him about who Carolina was."Alpha Connor, who is she?"Connor shot a death stare at him but Jack was already used to his glare so he was unperturbed by it. Instead, he tried to recollect where he had seen Carolina, and slowly, the memories of Carolina flooded his head. He remembered that he ca
Liliana’s mouth was slacked open while everyone fixed their gaze on her. She quickly ducked her head, trying to process how Connor knew about her fling with Luc. Her eyes twitched a couple of times as she raised her head to look at Connor who kept a straight expression on his face. Liliana wouldn't accept defeat before Connor and she would rather walk through fire than allow her honor and self-respect to be disrespected before someone like Carolina. She ducked her head again, trying to form the perfect words to say in her head as she chewed the inside of her cheeks before shooting Connor a glare that he was already used to.“Connor, how dare you accuse me of something preposterous like that? You insulted me before the woman that you had a fling with? Where's the sense in that? How dare you disrespect my feelings, my loyalty, and my love toward you? How dare you!” Liliana roared with her eyes blazing with fire.Connor scoffed, glancing at Jack before turning to look at Liliana whose c
