Carolina was surprised, she squinted her eyes open to see that she was close to the water but not too close for the Crocs to jump and attack her. She took her eyes up and saw someone running hurriedly towards her. He controlled the leveler and it took her away from the Crocs that were still waiting for her beneath the leveler. Carolina was speechless as he watched the man try to unchain her hands, "Someone came to save me? Unbelievable!" She exclaimed in her mind, her heart gladdened. The man's face came into view and Carolina's brows furrowed, "Uncle Gregory?" She uttered, staring at the man in confusion. "That's right Carolina, it's me" he returned and pulled off the chain locs with so much force that it broke open. "I came to save you and to as well warn you to stay safe. Liliana is alive, I'm sure about this because she is the one that has put you in this position. To kill you off" Mr Gregory added, helping Carolina out of the leveler. He looked like he truly wanted to he
Carolina alighted the bus and let out a sigh. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon. The golden ball shone in the bright blue sky illuminating the earth. It was a beautiful day and she had been having fun with her friends until…'Why did father call for me?' She wondered as she walked down the road leading to their house.Different thoughts coursed through her mind but none prepared her for what was coming. Soon, Carolina was strolling into their rented apartment on Bay Street.Was this another bad news? Or was it just like the time he had told her that he couldn't pay her school fees after he had gambled away her mother's savings? She hoped that he hadn't done something stupid again.Her mind was racing with thoughts as she closed the door and darted her eyes around the small entryway. The hallway was dark and empty."Papa." She called out for him."We are in here, Caro. Come in." He invited her into the living area.Carolina's brows furrowed when she heard him speak. How many people we
"Papa, tell me this isn't true. Are you doing this again?" Hot tears trickled down her cheeks as her lips trembled and a small whimper escaped from them.She dug her fingertips into the chair while she stared at her father as he hung his head. He gave her no reply. Just like he hadn't given her any since she walked in.His reply only meant that it was true."This can't be true." She whimpered reliving how her father had run into different debts in the past which she used her hard-earned money to clear.It wasn't an easy time for her because she had to go through a lot to get the money. She did something she wouldn't have ever done just to save his head.The room was silent and the only noise was the clock ticking with each passing second. She now belonged to a total stranger because her father couldn't control his gambling addiction."Is there anything we can do please?" She turned to address the young man whose name she had forgotten within a few seconds.The shock was enough to make
Carolina had bloodshot eyes and her face was puffy from crying. She wore her hair in a messy bun and there were dried tear tracks on her cheekbones.She laid down on the mattress lost in deep thought. How would her life be with the Alpha? She didn't love him and certainly did not feel any connection with him.Except for the first attraction she had felt for him which later turned to hatred when she realized that he was her captor. She had contemplated trying to run away but it wouldn't work.Alpha Connor had so many connections in LA. The only way she could get out of his reach was if she booked a flight out of California. That was if she was able to disguise herself so well.Even if she did that, she didn't have any money on her, also her whole life was here. If she succeeded in leaving, where would she start from? She had no one else. All her life was in LA. She was between the devil and the deep blue sea. She imagined how life would be with a total stranger.Her father had cause
Oliver knew why she was upset. Immediately Connor left and she stormed into her room, he knew the thought of calling her uncle would occur to her so he had to make the call first.He had called him to inform him of the situation and to also tell him to discontinue paying her tuition. He hoped that soon she would be able to forget all these and forgive him. Carolina dragged her small box out of her room into the living area after having her bath. Her eyes met with her father's where he sat at the dining table, however she ignored him."Caro." Her father called her.She stopped in her tracks while waiting for him to speak."Won't you have breakfast?" He offered."I don't think that's a good idea, if I eat up all the food left in the house, you might starve and die of hunger." She said sarcastically.Oliver had expected this when he signed her off. It was the best option for him. If he lost the house, he had lost everything and he would have to start all over. Someday she would understa
"We've got a problem, Alpha Connor." Jack, his driver, informed him.He sat up on the chair immediately. Had something happened to Carolina? Or had she escaped? He wouldn't put that past her but it wasn't possible. He had men who would collect her and drive her down to his place immediately. He took safety measures to prevent that immediately after he left her house the day before."What is the problem?" He was alarmed."Liliana arrived a few minutes ago and she is inside with Carolina." He said."What is she doing there?!" He gasped."We thought she had your permission, sir." Jack said."And you left her there? Go in and stay with them till I come. You know how Liliana can be." He gave instructions before hanging up.What was Liliana doing there? He knew what she was capable of doing. He retrieved his suit from the suit hanger immediately and dashed out of the office.Carolina stared at the brown-haired beauty before her. Her feminine perfume announced her presence as it wafted int
Carolina's jaw dropped as she stared at Liliana in bewilderment."You must be kidding, right?" Carolina scoffed while Liliana eyed her from head to toe."I am not kidding, why would I joke with someone who is a joke!" Carolina leaned back a bit with her arms crossed over her chest."Is it just I or you are exceptionally rude?" Carolina retorted, infuriating Liliana who was on the verge of exploding in anger. She couldn't decipher how Carolina had the audacity and effrontery to talk back at her and most especially, she couldn't understand what Connor saw in someone like Carolina.To Liliana, Carolina was someone crude and classless and she wasn't even who doesn't even deserve to stand before her. The more she stared at Carolina whose eyes were a flicker of rage, the more she felt the wave of anger rushing inside of her.Silence pervaded between Carolina and Liliana as they both stared daggers at each other. Liliana decided to break the silence as she cleared her throat before deciding
Carolina tilted her head a bit, turning to look at the direction the voice emanated. Her hand dangled helplessly by her side as she swallowed the heavy lump that formed beneath her throat. Liliana seeing that the table turned against Carolina, rushed towards Connor with tears glistening in her eyes.Liliana forcibly found her away in his arms as her cries broke into sobs that left Connor devastated. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion because his initial thought was that Liliana would try to pick on Carolina but he was dumbfounded when he saw how Carolina almost landed a slap across Liliana's face. Carolina's mouth was slack open as she stared at the scenery happening before her. That was when she was starting to realize how cunning and manipulative Carolina could be. Different thoughts raced through her mind and the only thing she did was to cuss at herself in regret because if she could have endured all the pain Liliana caused her, then the situation would have been different and s
