Carolina felt all the blood in her face drain in a split second. Her feet turned cold and goosebumps covered her whole body. She turned to look at Connor whose expression was something she could not explain or read, he just stared at the projected picture without saying a word, his face cold and veins starting to pop on his neck. Carolina gulped down nothing as Connor stared back at her with mixed feelings. He was horrified by what was on show for everyone to see and was as well disappointed in Carolina for stooping so low and worse of all for playing him by making him believe that nothing happened that night."Connor, this.. this is not real, I did not do this I swear. Something is wrong somewhere because I did not do this, believe me," Carolina started to say tearfully as she made to touch Connor who immediately shifted away from her, still staring at the picture in shock. He turned to Carolina again and then at the picture, then he turned around to stare at their guests who were
Jackson was bundled and brought to Connor who was sitting casually on a couch in the boy's quarter and sipping on the glass of liquor he held in his hands.Jackson looked terrified like a cat with the way he was hauled into the room. He had just been apprehended a few minutes after he left Carolina's party to attend to other things.The truth was that he did not know why he was suddenly taken away only to be brought before Connor who did not seem happy to see him one bit.Jackson shivered as he beheld Connor's dark eyes, he was then acquainted with the reason he was manhandled and brought before Connor. "It must be because of Carolina, nothing more," he said in his mind."You touched my mate inappropriately" Connor's cold voice rang all over the room. Jackson was taken aback, he stared at Connor with raised brows."I don't seem to understand what you are talking about. What do you mean by I touched your mate inappropriately?" Jackson returned and the guard beside him gave him a deafe
Carolina was restless when she got wind of the news that Jackson was abducted by some unknown men. She needed no one to tell her that it could only be Connor that will such to Jackson.No matter how much she tried to drive her mind away from the fact that Connor had a hand in Jackson's sudden abduction, the more she saw reasons to be convinced that Connor is keeping the poor boy in his custody. Carolina felt a lot of pity for Jackson because she knew very well how Connor can be, especially when he is pissed at something or someone or when he is enraged, or even when it has to do with her."Jackson is already a dead man and it is not very good for him to be one at the moment. Come to think of it, How come he told me clearly that nothing happened between us when it was a big lie! I freaking kissed Jackson, the same guy I considered a good friend. I stupidly initiated the kiss and now he is in trouble for something he knows nothing about.Why did he refuse to tell me too? Why did he pre
Carolina hurried towards the building the guard had told her Jackson was in, her heart in her mouth. She wondered what Connor would do when he sees her all of a sudden, let alone stand up for the same guy he caught her kissing. Carolina's movements began to slow down as she was gradually getting overwhelmed by regret for what she did.Connor on the hand did not seem like he was going to stop hitting the poor boy anytime soon. Jackson's body was now covered in sweat mixed with blood. His shirt was all soaked at stuck to his skin which had stripes of the whip they used on him.He was already getting very weak but he kept muttering that he was innocent and didn't have anything to do with Carolina. He kept trying to convince Connor that Carolina was the one that took advantage of him and not the other way around but Connor was only seeing red and punched him hard each time he tried to tell him that he was innocent of the accusation."Shut your trap! I detest Lies Young man, just admit y
Carolina could hear the torturous screams that escaped Jackson's lips as Connor whipped him. She could feel her eyes water and kept blaming herself for putting the poor boy in that situation. She started walking closer and closer to the room.But she couldn't enter, Connor might do something worse than he was already doing and she didn't want then. Carolina then hatched a plan to make Connor stop hurting Jackson and probably let him go."I hope it works" she mumbled to herself as she hurried back to the main house. She pulled the first guard she met at the entrance, her face scrunched in deep pain as she squeezed her stomach."Are you okay my lady?" The guards asked in concern while trying to help her stand. Carolina shook her head before letting out a painful Yelp."Go now, tell the Alpha that I'm not feeling so well" she groaned, "My stomach hurts so bad, I think I'm going to die" she added and as the guard made to carry out her instructions, she slipped to the bare ground to make
Connor rushed straight to Carolina's room to find her sitting on her bed and sipping some liquid in a cup casually as if nothing happened to her. Connor was surprised but did well to hide the relief and concern on his face before walking toward her."I got the news Carolina and looking at your current position, I'm starting to think it was a prank" Connor stated coldly.Carolina went mute, just sipping her drink quietly. "It is" she agreed and took a deep breath.Connor frowned deeply at her and made to exit the room, "Wait!" She stopped him from getting to the door. Connor stopped in his tracks and waited to hear what she had to say, his back was against her."I'm… I'm sorry" Carolina stuttered, fiddling with her fingers. Connor did not say anything to her and that seemed to break her heart the more.She wiped the tears that rolled off her cheeks and sniffed tearfully, "Please Forgive me Connor. I never meant for something like that to happen. Please don't let this bring about a bri
"Liliana? What are you saying?" Mr. Gregory asked Mirabel whose breathing was loud and harsh as she tried to calm down and take in oxygen that Mr. Gregory inhibited her from when he kept plunging her face in the water."Speak up now, I don't have all day!" He thundered and Mirabel shook in fright."Liliana, I said the name already Master, she is the one" Mirabel returned, her lips quivering because she was scared of the outcome of saying her name.Mr. Gregory took a step backward, his face filled with fright and confusion at the same time. He tugged on the beards on his jaws and went deep in thought."Liliana, Don't tell me it's the same person my mind is guessing her to be because that is very impossible" Mr. Gregory narrowed his eyes at Mirabel who took everything in her to resist the urge to roll her eyes at his rants."She is the only one master, Liliana, the young lady who was already entangled with Connor before I and even Carolina came into the picture, the same one that was ki
Mirabel was in a state of panic and fear as well. She was still tied to her legs and so couldn't make any movement or try to stand on her feet at least.The fact that Mr. Gregory would not rest until he had found Liliana since she had already disclosed to him that she was alive bothered her greatly.Mirabel had made a deal to keep Liliana's identity a secret until she was ready to reveal herself but she had already gone against it and was now awaiting what her fate would be. There was no need to sugarcoat it, Liliana was now a vengeful creep. Mirabel feared for her life because she did not know what will become of it if Liliana finds out that she told Connor's uncle about her even after she was specifically warned by Liliana not to blurt it out.Mirabel sagged into her seat tiredly, trying her best to shove those fears aside and make plans of escaping Connor's uncle.Meanwhile, Life in Connor's mansion has not been all that rosy for everyone there, especially Carolina.Carolina no mo
