Connor cursed inaudibly while pulling his hair in frustration, his whole body felt itchy and he was visibly worried. He closed the room door which Mirabel forgot to close when she hurried out properly and then proceeded to clean up his body.He felt disgusted with the fact that Mirabel had touched him and so he scrubbed his body harder than he used to. When he was done, he changed into something casual and packed some of his clothes into a bag.Since Carolina had left without him, he was going to go back to the mansion on his own and meet her there. Connor was convinced that Carolina was going to be home and nowhere else and so he hurried up so that he can get to the house on time. As he rushed down the stairs, Kourtney ran up to him and blocked him from exiting the house. She had a stubborn look on her face and even if Connor's demeanor wasn't all that friendly, she wasn't shaken. Besides, Connor was her son so what would he do to hurt her?Connor groaned deeply. "Not now mother, I
Connor drove straight to Carolina’s college at a high speed. He was expecting to see Carolina as soon as he drove into the school but what he expected was not what he got as there were lots of people waiting to be attended to. Connor felt that the long queue was in his favor because he will get to talk with Carolina before she signs up to be given a room in the school's hostel.Connor came down from his car and inhaled the air but strangely enough, he could not detect Carolina's scent. His brows furrowed in confusion but still, he did not give up on his search. As he approached the queue of young students waiting to be attended to, he picked up a faint scent of her. His eyes twitched and he began to scan the environment for any trace that could lead him to her.Not getting any positive result, he walked straight to the receptionist on the counter."Mister, you should stay on the line. Besides, this is not the queue for males" the receptionist stated, her face buried in the pile of f
Hardulph assisted Carolina in getting into his car, when he was sure she was comfortable in the passenger’s seat, he closed the door properly before proceeding to the driver’s seat so that he would drive her home as promised. Though Carolina was not all comfortable with going back to the mansion with Hardulph, she tried not to show it as she took her face out of the car window and stared at the busy streets as they drove by.“So how has it been with Connor?” Hardulph tried to start a conversation with Carolina. She only turned to gaze at him suspiciously.“Did Connor tell you to come and get me?” she inquired with narrowed eyes.“Of course not. Me and Connor have not been in touch for a long time now” Hardulph defended himself but still Carolina was not convinced.She could not deny that she was feeling so uneasy riding in the same car as Hardulph. Her mind was troubled because she kept wondering if her encounter with Hardulph was a coincidence as he claimed or if there was something
"Excuse me!" Carolina retorted, turning abruptly to stare at Hardulph. She was sure she heard him call her Liliana but the question is."Why would Hardulph regard me as Liliana? Is he now saying things" Carolina thought within herself?"What did you just call me?" Carolina asked with a look of confusion on her features, "me,? I didn't say anything" Hardulph defended himself."You just referred to me as Liliana, I'm sure I didn't hear wrongly" Carolina stood her ground."No, I did not. Why will I call you that?" Hardulph denied it immediately.Carolina's eyes squinted at him. “If you didn't call me that name, then what did you say?" She questioned, slowly placing her hand on her waist."Carolina. That's what I called you, Carolina" Hardulph replied and Carolina's brows furrowed, if there was any other phrase stronger than being confused, that was the situation she was in. "Oh I see the confusion here, you misheard me" Hardulph chortled."You know Carolina sounds the same as Liliana, I
Connor was devastated when he heard the words that rolled out of Carolina's tongue. He was in a state of confusion and fear as he tried to understand why his mate was suddenly being strange."Carolina you need to calm down. I know you are still mad at me because of the argument we had back in my parent's house but you are taking it too far, calm down and let's talk this out ok?" Connor tried to reason with her.Carolina let out a snort when Connor finished talking to her about being calm."Talk about what Connor? Have you been practicing the flimsy excuses you would give me for engaging in such a dirty act?" Carolina flared up. Connor felt like a dirty liquid has been splashed on him with the way Carolina replied to him, he took a step backward. Connor did not seem to understand a thing she was saying, different thoughts kept running through his mind."What dirty act is Carolina accusing me of? What is it that I have done to hurt her so much" Connor pondered with his hands on his chi
Connor knew that Carolina was determined to leave his house no matter what and he had to do something to stop her before she does. Even if Carolina can be a sweet soul most of the time, Connor was well aware of how fiery and hot-headed she can be.He quickly ordered for the doors and gate in the mansion to be shut with immediate effect."Anyone who dares to open up the doors or let Carolina out of this mansion and compound would pay with their lives" Connor threatened and made his way out of Carolina's room.Carolina on the other had just reached the entrance door, ready to dash out of the building. She was taken aback when she saw that the door was securely locked. This was not normal and she wondered why.She tried to go through the other door but they were also locked to her astonishment. She began to pound on the door, yelling for it to be opened."I'm sorry Miss Carolina, we were ordered not to open up the door for any reason" One of the guards reported when Carolina requested th
Connor began to tell Hardulph all about the atrocities Mirabel has been committing in his mansion. He related to him how he suspected her to be the reason behind the calamities that befell him."That girl, Mirabel has been a thorn in the flesh to me and my mate. Ever since she came into our home, things have never been the same. It is always one trouble to another and I am fed up with it. I am tired of having her around me and so I want to do something about it" Connor complained to Hardulph over the phone."To be very honest with you Connor, Mirabel looks way too innocent to be behind all of these you accuse her of. I'm still finding it hard to believe she hatched such evil acts in her head. What is her main aim even? To separate the both of you?" Hardulph contributed."I don't know man, that girl is so cunning and that annoys me. About her deceiving looks, never judge a book by its cover and I'm telling you solemnly, that girl is a wolf in sheep's clothing. A witch that's what she i
Connor and Hardulph planned to expose Mirabel. Connor's idea of seeing to it that his plans of exposing Mirabel are brought in place was to get Hardulph close to Mirabel."Hardulph plans that you will have to get close to Mirabel by all means. I want the both of you to be so close that she would be open to you. At that stage, you will know all her secrets and so I will have something that I will use against her" Connor revealed."That makes sense and by knowing her secrets, you will know what she is up to and possibly whom she is working with if any" Hardulph added."Exactly my good friend, you got the point!" Connor exclaimed.Hardulph thought about it for a while.“Okay that can be arranged" he agreed and Connor did a fist bump in the air. Though Hardulph could not see him because they were still on call, Connor began to express his gratitude by thanking him."Thank you so much, Hardulph. You don't know the kind of burden you just lifted off my shoulders" Connor uttered. "It's fine
