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
Carolina paced back and forth in her room, wondering what could have happened to Liliana for blood to drip down her leg like that. She knew that she had grown to dislike Liliana but she couldn’t just wrap her head around what could be going on with Liliana at the moment. The only thing she could do was hope that she would be fine! “Maybe I should call Connor?” Carolina muttered to herself, reaching her hands for her phone but when she recollected that she didn’t have Connor’s phone number, she hissed out of frustration and tossed the phone aside before plopping on the couch. She propped her feet on the center table as her mind strayed toward Liliana.“Is there a possibility that Liliana was battling some kind of illness that kind of affected her internally and caused her to bleed?” Carolina thought inwardly as she sauntered to the bathroom and rinsed her face with water. She gazed at her reflection in the mirror and she couldn’t help but to expel a sigh because of how much she has ch
Carolina was about to lash out at the woman for calling her a maid but she was completely taken aback when the woman mentioned that she was Connor's cousin and most especially, about how she mentioned her name instead of Liliana. Carolina's mouth was agape as she suddenly clamped her mouth shut. The woman shot a smile at her before plopping on the couch and kicking the shoes off her feet. Her auburn red hair was packed in a ponytail and the more Carolina stared at her, the more she looked awkwardly familiar to her. Carolina was still trying to recollect where she had seen her when the woman snapped at her with a smile on her face. “Courtesy demands that you offer your guests food or water and you should at least treat them right! I am so thirsty at the moment please get me chilled water, thank you” She said. Fascinatingly, Carolina didn’t hear a single word that she said because her mind strayed off already and she was trying to decipher where she had exactly set her eyes on the we
Connor and Jack both drove to the office in haste as he Jack pulled up in the parking lot while he quickly got out of the car in a bid to open the door for Connor but before he could get toward where Connor was sitting, Connor already came down from the car as he walked hastily to his office while Jack scurrying closely behind him. “Walk faster! We have to plot a plan that would put an end to whatever Luc is planning on doing because I am damn sure that he’s planning something terrible and if you all had killed him then, then we wouldn’t be in this heart-wrenching situation at the moment! Surely know that anything that happens now is your fault and you would take responsibility for it because you were the one who reported that he was dead and that guy plunged his body deep into the ocean” Connor gritted teeth as he nodded at those who lowered their head when they came across him. Jack didn’t need anyone to tell him that it was better not to defend himself at the moment because the m
Connor fumed as he ambled to the accounting department in a tiger-like thread. He was still on his way to the accounting department when thoughts about Carolina flashed through his head and he couldn't help but wonder if she was doing fine at the moment.A sudden wave of anger rushed through Connor when he heard the screams, cheers, and chants of people that emanated from the accounting department. He glanced at the time on his wristwatch as he swept the hair that fell on his face to the back as his fist squeezed into folds. Connor suddenly stopped on his track, turning to look at Jack and Scott who walked closely behind him if not for Jack’s quick intervention, Scott was about to bump into Connor because of his abrupt stop.Connor forced out a smile that gave eerie vibes as he placed his hand on Scott’s shoulder, squeezing it gently while Scott shuddered because of the way Connor squeezed him on the shoulder. “Scott, can you let me know about the number of people that are in the ac
After Connor got all of his workers fired from the accounting department. He dashed into his office with Jack behind him while they devised a plot about how to overthrow Luc and make sure that his plans backfires. Connor heaved a sigh of relief on seeing that there was a high possibility of his plans coming to pass. He swept the hair that fell on his face back while downing a glass of water before taking in a deep breath that calmed all his nerves. Connor plopped on the swivel chair, rotating in its axis as he plugged in his airpods and anyone who saw him at that moment would think that he was listening to music not knowing that he just did that to while away time. He glanced at the wall clock that ticked slowly and he was about to stand to his feet when his personal assistant, Scott walked in with his hands folded behind his bacUsek and Connor didn't need any soothsayer to tell him that Scott was fiddling with his fingers. It made Connor wonder if he was that scary for Scott to al
Connor's eyes grew wide when he heard what his father reiterated. The shock on his face was so evident that it felt like his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He leaned back in the chair and that was when he wished that his life should have been different from the beginning then he wouldn't have to be betrothed to Liliana at an early age. “Did she really say that?” Connor questioned his father who nodded carefully to his word. Connor leaned forward with his arms while burying his head on his palm as he cradled his head in his hands. Connor knew what Liliana was trying to do by revealing what happened earlier to his father but at the moment, he had a business trip with Jack. He exhaled out sharply, glancing at his father who stared at him tentatively as if he was waiting for his words. “You should have told us that Liliana was pregnant then we would have made her come live with us till she gives birth to your child and our first grandchild” Connor’s father muttered and Con
Connor could see the confused look on his father's face when Carolina lowered her head before him. Carolina might be the one that he chose first but the one his parents wanted for him was Liliana.Introducing Carolina as the person he wanted to be with might turn out to be extremely disastrous for him since his parents were still recuperating from the loss of Liliana’s child while thinking that it was their grandchild. “I need to do something about Liliana! I need to make her call off the wedding herself! We can never get married since I have found my mate” Connor thought inwardly as he quickly rushed toward Carolina before his father could ask further questions. “And who is she?” His father questioned, glancing back and forth between Carolina and Connor.“She is a friend, father. She's good friends with Kayla as well, she's staying over at my place for a while” Connor responded, smiling awkwardly while squeezing her on the shoulder gently. Carolina's eyebrows furrowed in confusion
