After they had something to eat, Carolina went ahead to apply for admission to some of the colleges that were still offering admissions. She was currently seated in the living room and scrolling through her phone when Connor came down the stairs, completely dressed and ready to go out.Carolina stared at him in confusion, wondering where he was running off to.“There you are,” Connor said aloud while pulling his tie to adjust it to fit, “I need to rush down to the main house and see how things are going with Jack in charge” he stated. Carolina only nodded, “any lead to the culprit?” she asked and Connor shook his head negatively. “How is it going with the colleges around? Have you been able to apply to any of them?” he requested.Carolina stood up from her seat and helped him arrange his collar, “I applied to a massive number of colleges, I should be getting replies from them soon” she answered. “Is there a particular college you have at heart? I can get you to enter without hindr
The trio wondered what the package contained but since Carolina was the owner, she stood from her seat to accept it. Mirabel beat her to it and grabbed the box before she could reach it. Carolina snarled at Mirabel for being rude, she would have fought back to take the package from her but decided to remain calmMirabel opened the box and brought out the envelope."What is in it, Mirabel?" Connor's mother requested to make her way toward Mirabel to see for herself what kind of package Carolina had received."It looks like a letter. Oh, it's an admission letter" Mirabel snorted, Carolina quickly grabbed it from her hands and proceeded to scan through it right in front of them. Connor's mother stared at her scornfully. "It may not be what it looks like, Carolina might be cheating on Connor behind our backs. Who knows? What she may have received is a love letter in disguise of an admission letter" Connor's mother whispered to Mirabel's hearing but Carolina heard her.She folded the admi
Silence fell in the room as the three women stared at Connor whom they were not expecting to be back anytime soon."I requested to know what was going on here a while ago, why is no one giving me an answer?" He thundered, glaring at his mother and Mirabel.Mrs. Kourtney Robinson, Connor’s mother, took down her hand. She had wanted to hit Carolina in the face but Connor's presence disrupted her from carrying out her intentions."It's Carolina. You need to see how she almost strangled poor Mirabel here to death simply because she asked her not to take away all the snacks from the fridge because I will not be happy about it and because some of them were hers" Connor's mother lied to Carolina's utmost surprise. She was shocked at how fast Connor's mother made a lie against her and twisted the whole event to make her the bad person. She would have retorted and proven her innocence of the allegations Connor's mother placed on her before Connor but she wanted to see his reaction and how he
Amidst Connor's cold reaction towards the letter Carolina had given him, she felt that telling him would make him feel a little bit enthusiastic and happy for her at least."I got admitted to Pledis College. It's a great school with prestige, Connor and I never expected to be admitted so fast!" she exclaimed with a happy smile on her face."Shocking. I'm happy for you" Connor said as a smile that faltered formed on his face.Carolina's brows rose in suspicion but she did not say a word. Connor glanced at the letter again and then looked up at her with a big grin."So Pledis College it is, you deserve it and a lot more, trust me" He added."I know but it came so fast.." Carolina trailed off, watching Connor as he got ready to enter the bathroom.He let out a shrug, "what can I say? Some people are very lucky, even their name screams of good luck and peace of mind" He returned, gave her a wink, and disappeared into the bathroom.Carolina thought she did not hear clearly but when she tho
Carolina recollected the day she had left her father's house, the day her father gave her out to Connor as collateral for the debt he owned. How bittered she felt seeing her father ignore her even as she cried when her uncle stopped supporting her education.Tears clouded her vision but she refused to let them out. Indeed her biological father had hurt her but she did not want to dwell in the past. She was willing to forgive him and move on with life, besides she was somewhat happy to see that he was alive and well.She managed to muster a smile as she made her way towards the store in a bid to greet him at least. It was going to be unfair if she sees her father whom she had not seen in ages and chooses to ignore him like he was a total stranger.Carolina was still on it when an older woman walked towards her father, pulling a child in her other hand. The woman stopped beside her father and pulled his hands to get his attention since he was talking to the cashier at the counter.Carol
Carolina took in a deep breath, she was happy about the news Jack had given her. She was sure it was a step towards exposing the culprit in the mansion and she was equally curious to find out what the information Jack was going to relay to her entailed."Speak" she ordered, while making herself comfortable on the bed. "Miss, In a bid to find out how the recording mysteriously got missing, I decided to go through the security cameras in the mansion, there I found something more suspicious from the camera installed in the hallway" he started to explain.Carolina had been interested in finding out more about what he has to say and so she did not interrupt him but waited for him to round up with his report."The camera captured Roseanne running away from something the same night she was murdered. According to the footage, Roseanne was afraid of something as she ran. I suspect that someone was chasing her, supposedly someone who is after her life, though the camera did not capture whomeve
Carolina was still wondering about the next step to take towards making Connor aware of the CCTV footage when her phone pinged with a notification from Jack. She heaved an exasperated sigh as she reached her hands for her phone to find out what the message was all about to see that Jack had sent her the video of Roseanne running away from something as shown in the security camera. Carolina was at a loss for words to say as she started intently at the screen. At that moment, she wished that she was there to know who Roseanne was running from. If she had been there, then something as gory as that would have never happened. Carolina felt her body turn cold as goosebumps filled her whole skin. Seeing Roseanne again though in the form of graphics made tears fill her eyes again. It was such a bitter pill for her to swallow, knowing that Roseanne was no more and what she was watching was now in the past. She shoved her emotions aside and focused on studying the video. She played it o
Connor was so angry at everyone and everything in the house irritated him. He punched Jack's number on his phone, his nose flared up in anger. He didn't wait for long before Jack came on the line. Jack picked on the first ring, "Alpha Connor, your call is.." he started to say when Connor interrupted, "Unexpectedly" he finished for him, his sharp claws digging deep into one of the sofas in the living room. "How could you keep something like that away from me?" Connor gritted out. Though Jack couldn't see Connor at the moment, he needed no one to tell him that Connor was not happy with him. It took him a while to process the question that has been directed to him because he was confused at first. "Did you suddenly go, mute mister? Answer me this instant! Why did you do it?" Connor fired and Jack swallowed harshly, he knew exactly what Connor was talking about."Forgive me Alpha. I wanted to tell you at first but Miss Carolina instructed me against it" Jack answered quickly and
