Connor entered the bedroom where Carolina lay on the bed, working on an assignment on her laptop. He stood for a while, watching as her slender fingers moved across the keypad as she typed away."Mirabel went missing from the hospital earlier this morning" Connor announced and Carolina's eyes widened in shock as she stared back at him."What? What do you mean by she went missing? What happened to her? Was she attacked again and kidnapped by the masked man in the bathroom?" Carolina asked all at a time, her eyes widened in horror."No, none of that happened" Connor replied, settling beside her on their bed."The CCTV footage from the hospital stated that she ran out of the hospital on her own" Connor shrugged. Carolina stared at him like he was spurting gibberish."What do you mean she ran out of the hospital on her own?" She asked in confused tune."It's true Caro, I watched it myself. The CCTV captured Mirabel running out of the hospital with so much speed like someone was after her
Mirabel's eyes did not blink for a complete minute, she just moped at Liliana wide-eyed too shocked to make a single sound. Liliana was the last person she expected to see right in front of her, not even in her wildest dream did Mirabel think that Liliana who had been confirmed dead will be standing right before her, she couldn't believe her eyes.A smug smile was stretched on Liliana's lips as she watched Mirabel's reaction to her sudden appearance in amusement. She loved the horrified look on Mirabel's face, it made her want to laugh out loud.Mirabel turned her eyes towards Luc who was equally watching her with an expressionless face. She was breathing fast as her skin began to crawl because she felt like she had seen a ghost. Mirabel closed her eyes tightly and pinched herself lightly, refusing to believe that what she was seeing was real."Snap out of it Mirabel, you are having weird dreams. There is no way Liliana is back to life, you are just seeing things. Liliana is dead, b
Later in the day, after Connor had left and lectures were over, Carolina was surrounded by some girls who were gushing about her relationship with a hottie like Connor.Carolina managed to keep her jealousy and anger because of the questions they kept throwing at her, not wanting to seem rude or too proud. She tried her best to answer them as politely as she could."Was that your brother? Goodness, he is so hot. Does he have a girlfriend? Has he married already?" One of the girls asked Carolina while squealing like a pig. Carolina stared at her weirdly."No, he is not my brother and yes, he is married" she replied curtly and smirked as she watched their faces fall in disappointment."Too bad, I guess his wife is so lucky to have him all to herself. I mean he is so handsome, I was drooling while staring at him" another uttered. "Did you see his kingly steps? That man is a god" the earlier lady said and they screamed gleefully while holding hands. Carolina rolled her eyes in jealousy,
Connor was infuriated, he felt his face turning red in rage as he glared at the young man Carolina was chatting with in his car. He could see them clearly from his car which was just in front of theirs.He did not like seeing the both of them smile brightly and chat with each other like they were suddenly inseparable. He was the only one permitted to keep Carolina this happy, not some random college student. Connor could not deny that he was not happy about what he was seeing, his eyes were filled with jealousy and the only thing that was nudging at the back of his was to run straight into the dude's car and put an end to whatever conversation they were having that has been making his mate smile so much and be free with him.But Carolina was in the same car with this dude, he wouldn't do anything to hurt his mate in any way no matter how infuriated he might be. Carolina was special to him and so must be protected at all costs.Connor shoved the dark thoughts of hitting Jackson's car
Connor and Carolina exchanged glances when they saw Mirabel smiling at them. Carolina was most shocked because, for some time, she thought Mirabel had died but she was right before them, and that took her aback.Connor's anger seemed to double with the fact that Mirabel showed up before them again after disappearing for days without traces. He knew at once that her sudden appearance was not in vain, something must be attached to it but most especially, Connor wondered where she had run off to.Mirabel stood from her seat, still smiling at them creepily. Carolina's skin began to crawl with each step she took toward them. She was horrified to see Mirabel again, the only thought in her mind was if Mirabel had returned to cause havoc between them again. The smile on Mirabel's face turned into a coy one when her eyes met with Connor's."Welcome home Alpha" she greeted in a sonorous voice while blinking her eyes shyly at him. Carolina scrunched her face at Mirabel's actions but refused to
An eerie silence fell throughout the living room with Mirabel's outburst. The mocking smile Mirabel had on was still dancing on her lips in sarcasm.She held her chin and shoulders high while chewing and popping her bubble gum annoyingly as she watched Connor and Carolina curiously to know their reaction.Carolina was beyond confused, her mouth hung open with shock at Mirabel's speech."I am not who Connor thinks I am? Where is that coming from? What in the world is she talking about? What proof does she even claim to have!" Carolina screamed in her mind, her eyes widened in astonishment at Mirabel whose mouth was making loud sounds as she chewed on her gum without care.Carolina tried so hard to make meaning out of the words Mirabel was spurting out of her deceptive tongue, but couldn't bring herself to understand the very reason Mirabel was saying such silly things about her.Connor as well did not say a word to Mirabel even after she had revealed that Carolina was not who he though
Mirabel was thrown outside the mansion gate, before she could stand and rush back to enter the gate, it was banged straight in her face.Mirabel felt utterly embarrassed by how she was treated by Connor's guards. Her heart was filled with anger and grief. She dusted her clothes and began to make her way back to the basement where Liliana had taken her after they captured her.Mirabel drove for a long while and finally got to her destination, she parked her car very far from where she would be going, just like Liliana had ordered. She made sure to look around her vicinity to be sure no one was watching her before proceeding to enter the shabby-looking uncompleted building, surrounded by bushes and located in a place far away from residential areas. Mirabel bent her head so that her hair wouldn't get trapped in the huge spider webs hanging on the ceilings of the building. Her face was scrunched in distaste and she was utterly disgusted by the sight of the building's interior.Not to me
Mirabel could not believe her ears and her eyes as well. She felt like she was hearing things and was in disbelief.She slowly took the phone from Liliana whose face was still in a big grin and stared at the picture curiously. She did not need any more proof to show how true Liliana's words were.Right before her very own eyes and in Liliana's phone, Mirabel could see the man she had been slowly falling for clearly on the screen. Her eyes watered as she stared at his very happy smile but he was not alone. A beautiful lady who was equally smiling at him stood beside him. Her pregnancy bulge was very much visible and Hardulph's hands securely wrapped around her waist possessively.Mirabel let out a bitter cackle as she stared at the picture over and over again."Hardulph already had a mate before now? This doesn't make sense" she started to say. "But it is" Liliana shrugged and took her phone away from Mirabel's hands."How come he never mentioned it? How come he had been so kind to m
