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
Connor didn't want to think deeply about it, he believed that Carolina was safe though some part of him feared the possibility of her being in the custody of his unknown enemy. He groaned out in frustration, all these were making him go nuts.Meanwhile, after Connor and Jack had left the mansion, Mirabel felt like it was the right time to carry out her plans of moving Carolina away from the underground and out of the mansion in general. She sneaked into the hallway without being seen and walked straight to Liliana's room where she had locked Carolina in.She was beyond shocked to see that the padlock which she used in locking the door had been changed."What was going on? Had Carolina escaped or did someone find out what she had done?" Her body went cold with fear and her hair began to curl.It was no safer for her to hover around, she had to escape while she had the time. With that thought in mind, she slipped out of the mansion afraid of what Connor would do to her if he learns of
Luc was at first, horrified to find Carolina all alone in the dark basement, sprawled on the cold floor and in a critical condition at that. He was not pleased to behold her pale skin tone and sunken cheeks but he was still very happy to see that Carolina was still alive. He stared at her in pity, "How did she end up here in the first place?" He wondered. She had been starved for two days now, his heart melted for her.On the other hand, Carolina's mind was racing. She was trying her best to figure out what Luc was doing in the basement which she thought was haunted and had no escape route. She recalled there was a secret door that led to the exit, "Perhaps he has come in from there" She reasoned but was not still convinced as to how Luc was able to find his away around the basement.From every ramifications, she knew Connor and Luc were never in good terms and so the guards must hate him too. "How then did Luc come in freely without being apprehended by Connor's guards? Did he figh
Connor felt uncomfortable with the whole events that had been going on. No matter how much he thought about it, it was no more news to him that all that had happening to him was planned, a long time ago.He let his mind wander off to possibilities of the people who could be behind all this. His first suspect was Luc. Connor was aware of how much Luc hated him, he knew that Luc could go to any extent to see to his downfall and that made him believe that Luc could be the unknown blackmailer. There were lots of incidents to prove his allegation towards Luc but no matter how hard he thought of it, he couldn't find any tangible reason to blame Luc. He recalled that when he was engaged in a fight with Luc, Kayla was attacked. "How then is he the one behind it?" He wondered, "perhaps he now have lots of people working for him" Connor reasoned again his hands rubbing his jaw.There was every possibilities to point out Luc as the unknown blackmailer but who was he working with?.Connor was
Mirabel got to the door leading to Liliana's dark basement, she was glad to see that door was securely bolted just as she left it.She was elated that no one had bothered to check the basement nor found out about her mischief or so she thought.She slowly unbolted the door and peeped inside the basement. She couldn't see clearly because everywhere was dark and so she put on her flashlight.She flashed it all over the space in search of Carolina whom she believed was still locked in but was disappointed in not seeing her.Her skin began to creep and she was becoming afraid and alarmed at the same time. She cleaned her eyes to make sure she was seeing clearly and when she opened them, Carolina was still not there. She grabbed a fistful of her hair in frustration."Where in the world is that witch of a person? Where is that stupid girl hiding?" She asked rhetorically, through gritted teeth.She was starting to go crazy because she couldn't find Carolina anymore. She took out anything tha
Connor made to follow Jack out of the control room and out of the hospital in general but something caught his eye. From the monitor screen, he could see the doctors covering Kayla and wheeling her out of the ward.He ran back to them immediately and blocked them, "where are you taking her to?" He demanded angrily. He was trying his best not to yank the white cloth that covered his dead cousin away from her face."We need to carry out an autopsy test on her to see if she was injected with something apart from the removal of her life support machine and if the murderer touched her by mistake, His fingerprints can be checked and his identity determined" the doctor explained.Jack overhead everything because he was just behind Connor, he slowly took Connor's hand. "Let them do their job Alpha while we focus on bringing miss Carolina home" he persuaded Connor.Connor was reluctant to move out of the way but he still did move and paved way for the medics to take Kayla away. He kept stand
