Connor was enraged with Carolina and most especially, he hated the way she talked to him so bluntly, he hated the way she said she was going to reject him as her mate. Carolina's heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw the way Connor's eyes flicked from a pitch-black color before turning into their original color.Her instinct told her that if she doesn't get out of that bed as fast as possible, then he might devour her when it is too late. Her eyes fell on his fingers that were slowly changing into claws and at that instant, she knew that he was about to change into his werewolf form.Most importantly, she knew that she was the cause of it. She attempted to stand from the bed but he held her by his wrist, tightening his grip around her wrist as she leaned against the headboard while he leaned forward with his face so close to hers. She could feel his breath all over her face and it evaded her senses."Carolina, it doesn't matter if you reject me or not. If I would be hones
Connor made way for his office and he couldn't help but be proud of Scott because of how he handled the company in his absence. There wasn't any loss of any sort and instead, the company rose in stocks. Scott Rogers came inside the company with his head ducked while folding his hands behind his back as he fiddled with his fingers. Connor's eyes traveled from his face to his shirt that was unbuttoned and as much as Connor was proud of him, he couldn't help but lash out at him for being so oblivious to the fact that a button was missing.Connor swirled slowly in his swivel chair before making the chair come to an abrupt stop. Connor stood from his chair and sauntered toward Scott Rogers who quivered in fear. He placed his hands on his shoulder, patting him slowly on the shoulder."I am curious about something. Is it because I left the company in your care and that made you think that you are the new boss?" Connor said in an eerily calm tone that sent shivers down one's spine.Connor's
The smug smile that stretched on Liliana's lips ended up infuriating Connor as he raised a brow and glared furiously at Liliana with his fist clenched by his side. Her words kept resounding in his ear and no matter how much he tried to process what she meant by the beginning of the end.Connor leaned in the chair with his hands crossed over his chest as he nibbled on his lips. He kept his gaze fixed on Liliana who stared at him with eyes devoid of emotion. For a second, he was starting to wonder where she got the sudden boldness from and how she went from pleading for mercy to being embroidered in the apparel of boldness."What do you mean by this is the beginning and not the end?" Connor asked as he cocked his brow to the left with his arms still crossed over his chest.Liliana chuckled lightly as she expelled a sigh and shook her head slowly. "Why are you curious? Do you think that I would be defeated just because you got me arrested? Do you think that a mere arrest would stop me f
The bomb blast was still a mystery to Connor as he stood at a distance watching how the remains of Liliana were lowered six feets under the ground. His throat suddenly went dry and that was because of the guilt that he felt inside of him.Different voices kept screaming in his head that he was the reason for her death because if he hadn't gotten her arrested, then she would have been alive till this day. It was such a miracle that he was there to witness her burial because her father dared to end his life if he ever spots Connor.However, after much pleading from Connor's parents and Connor trying to justify why he got Liliana arrested, he was finally allowed to witness her burial and that was on the condition that he must watch her being laid down from a distance. Carolina came in the company of Roseanne who held an umbrella for her and she stopped on her track when she caught sight of Connor who stood rigid on the same spot. She brushed her hands through her neck and motioned for R
Connor's mother cocked her brow to the left as she glanced back and forth between Carolina and Connor. The look on her face was so deadly that if looks could kill, then she would have been long dead. Carolina's voice hitched as she brushed her fingers through her neck. Her stomach tied a knot and that was because of the state of nervousness that she was thrown in.She knew that if she didn't say a word, then would find herself in a situation that she doesn't want to find herself in. She was about to say a word when she suddenly recollected the word that she heard Connor say. Carolina turned to look at Connor as they both locked eyes together."The lady that I want to get married to?" Carolina repeated. When Connor caught on to what was going on at the moment, he pulled Carolina by the shoulder, squeezing her gently on the shoulder while flashing his white dental at his mum in an awkward manner.He leaned by his side a bit as he whispered into her ear."Just play along and don't say a
Carolina bit on the corner of her lower lips as she swallowed the heavy lump that formed in her throat. The same venom and coldness in his eyes that were evident on the day she had encountered him were still in his eyes. She suddenly felt cold air gushing through her skin and that was due to the cause of the cold aura that he exuded.Connor's father averted his gaze from Carolina and fixed his gaze on Connor."Isn't this the lady that I told you to send out of your house? Don't tell me that you later kept this lady by your side. Didn't you take my words seriously when I told you that you shouldn't keep an outsider by your side" Connor's dad yelled at him.Carolina was surprised as her mouth was slightly agape, wondering what was happening at the moment. She kind of wondered why Connor didn't tell her that his father disapproved of Connor keeping her by his side. Assuming she had known about his father's stance on her, she would have made sure that she met with Connor's father and told
Connor's father blinked his eyes a couple of times as he retracted his step backward. As much as Connor was proud of Carolina for putting her father in his place, he didn't like how she addressed his whole existence as a joke. He wanted her to defend herself but he didn't expect her to be this disrespectful about it."Do you know who I am for you to talk to me like that? Do you have any respect? Do I look like your age mate that you can insult and go scot-free?" He yelled at the top of his lungs as Connor buried his face in his hands. Squeezing his eyes shut frustratedly.This wasn't how he was expecting his day to be. He wanted to mourn Liliana's death peacefully and from afar, but he didn't sign up for all the drama that was happening before him, and worst of all was that it was happening on the day of Liliana’s burial. He might have never loved her but he didn't want her to be disrespected like that and he knew that if he doesn't stop his father as fast as possible, then the issue
"Mirabel?" Connor repeated as he stared intently at her. She smiled back in return and stretched her hand forward for a handshake. Carolina saw the way Connor's face lightened up on seeing her, causing her to wonder who Mirabel was.The lady whom Connor had addressed as Mirabel had long dark hair that fell on her back. Everything about her screamed class and with the way her simple outfits accentuated her curves, someone would know that she was drowned in luxury. "Yes, Mirabel" Connor and Mirabel both exchanged a handshake while Connor's eyes lit up as if he had seen a unicorn as he laughed awkwardly.Carolina raised a brow, wondering what was funny for him to laugh like that because if she could remember vividly, nobody talked about anything funny so why was he laughing like that?All of a sudden, it dawned on Connor that Mirabel shared a striking resemblance to the lady that he met at the hotel when he went on a business trip and she also shared a striking resemblance to the woman
