The terrifying sounds of gunshots filled the air and Carolina rose in alarm. Her eyes were filled with fear and horror."What is happening? Are we possibly under attack?" She wondered.Sweat filled her body and she began to fidget out of fear. Something was not right, how come she was locked in while they were being attacked?Maybe she accused Mirabel falsely."She may not be the person who locked me in, then was it Connor?" She wondered. "Was he after my safety and commanded that someone lock me in so that I will be safe? Was he aware of the plans whoever made to attack him?""No, it can't be Connor, He promised never to lock me up and not hurt me again. Then was it Jack? Hold on, could Luc be the one attacking Connor?" She reasoned with wide eyes but kept being confused.She let out a deep sigh, whatever that's happening, she wished it would end quickly so that she can regain her freedom. She sat back on the floor and buried her head in between her legs. She tried not to keep shaki
Luc hadn't seen Carolina again since he left her room through the balcony. Having Connor accuse him of kidnapping her made him livid. He was not finding the accusation funny and smelt that something must be attached to it."Maybe Connor wants to use the lie that I kidnapped Carolina to have me injured and also to pick a fight with me," Luc thought to himself. The both of them were still on the ground engaged in a very tough battle that was already looking too bloody.Luc groaned as the impact of Connor's punch ran all over his face. He winced in pain and spat out blood, then glared at Connor who was on top of him and punching him."Where is she?" Connor thundered and punched him again. Luc got infuriated and made to return the punch but Connor was quick to dodge and gave him another blow that made his lips burst.The metallic taste of his blood caused him to growl out in anger. He pushed Connor away forcefully and stood up on all fours.His eyes were shining and his fingers grew out
Connor's eyes grew wide in nothing but shock, Kayla was attacked and is now in a terrible condition. "What is happening in my life? Why is everything falling apart?" He asked no one in particular, pulling his hair frustratedly.First, it was Carolina who mysteriously got lost and now Kayla is seriously down in a hospital bed. He made to run out in search of Luc but Jack was quick to stop him by holding him back "Sir, I do not think Luc has anything to do with the disappearance of Miss Carolina" Jack said and Connor glared at him, he was confused about what Jack was telling him."Why is that?" He retorted. Jack released him and dusted his palms on his jacket, something he usually does out of nervousness. “While you both fought, I took my time in searching his room but I found nothing. Nothing even a trace of her. I smelt and even tasted the air but it doesn't seem like she had even been in the house" Jack answered.Connor's brows quivered in confusion.“Could he have accused Luc wron
Connor's guards swung into action, their life was on the line and they knew better than to go against their Alpha's instructions. They divided themselves into pairs, singles, and threes and searched for Carolina all over the estate and in the mansion but still did not find any trace of her.Luc came back to the estate and was shocked to see the guards walking all over the place. He hid behind a wall, panting heavily. Some of his wounds were still bleeding and some had already started to heal. Did he look like a rogue with his clothes which were torn and looking tattered with dirt and stains of his blood, where had he been by the way?Luc was certain that the guards were still on the lookout for him, he wondered what his fate would be if they caught him. The memories of his fight with Connor flashed in his head and he growled. He was not going back on his words, he would make sure Connor pays for everything and he was going to start making his plans as soon as he had gotten himself an
Frustrated that she couldn't find anything handy, Roseanne kept pulling the padlock, hoping it would open miraculously when Mirabel popped up, startling her."Mi.. miss Mirabel" She stuttered and greeted her. "What are you doing there?" Mirabel questioned with squinted eyes, she didn't expect someone to try to open the door which she locked. "Absolutely nothing miss" Roseanne replied and picked up her basket, ready to leave. "Hmm If you say so, get me a cup of water. I will be in the backyard" Mirabel ordered, though not clearly convinced and Roseanne nodded and left immediately.Mirabel watched her till she was out of sight, she hoped the maid hadn't found anything suspicious. She didn't want to be caught till she had achieved all her plans. She began to bite her fingers in deep thought while pacing about.She thought of other alternatives to take Carolina away from the basement and keep her locked in, in a place, worse than Liliana's dark basement where she would never be heard o
Mirabel kept wailing and thrashing as she and Connor walked about, looking for Carolina. In her little way, she did a good job of making sure that Connor did not come close to the hallway leading to Liliana's room. She even offered to go search the room instead of Connor and he agreed because he believed that Mirabel was on his side.Connor's face was already gloomy with worries and fear, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find Carolina. He would have gone outside the estate to search for her but his instinct kept telling him that she was somewhere in the mansion, but where?He pulled his hair frustratedly, this whole mystery of Carolina's sudden disappearance and Kayla's attack by an unknown blackmailer including the accident is slowly making him lose his sanity. He began to think about the possibility of Carolina leaving the mansion without notice but nothing was forthcoming and the most annoying thing was that he could not even trace her scent so that finding her wouldn'
Luc, though still annoyed at Connor for embarrassing him and making him a source of ridicule to all by accusing him of kidnap, couldn't help but wonder about the well-being of his friend, Carolina.Though he hates Connor with passion, Carolina was innocent and she wasn't his target for now. She shouldn't be paying for whatever sin Connor had committed whether in the past or present but he would still use her. That was his plan all along.The thought that he might never get to see her again if she's not found pricked him and he decided to help find her in any way he could.Luc was a smart one, he could handle the computer effortlessly and efficiently. Since the last place he saw Carolina was in her room, he decided to hack into the CCTV database of Connor's mansion.He was not doing this just to save Carolina, he wanted to prove Connor wrong. He wanted everyone to see that their most respected alpha was a coward who couldn't take proper care of his mate and so she ran away from home.B
Connor's phone fell to the floor and the screen broke into pieces, the sound made Mirabel stop crying and stare at him. "Did he just hear right?" He asked rhetorically and dashed out of the compound before he could be stopped by anyone. Jack saw how Connor ran off and immediately knew that something was off. He quickly chased after him. Connor was not in the mood for conversation and so Jack followed him in another car.Once Connor had driven off, Mirabel began to laugh loudly, it was so easy to trick Connor into believing she could turn good overnight. She stood on her feet and dusted her body of dust before moving back inside the mansion.Connor drove straight to the hospital where Kayla was admitted. He didn't wait to be allowed inside but rushed straight to Kayla's ward, shouting her name.He dashed into the room and could see Stella struggling for them to let her go, probably to uncover the cloth that was used in covering Kayla's face. Connor ignored all the commotion and proce
