Carolina's mouth slacked open when she saw how she entered the basement. She was at a loss for words to say and neither in her wildest imagination would she believe that there was an underground basement in Liliana's room. Liliana's room has a pink rug at the center and underneath that rug was another basement."What could she be up to? Does Connor know about this and why in the world would he allow her to even have one?" Carolina muttered to herself, curious to know if the other rooms had their own basement as well. Since Liliana was out of sight already, she rushed outside the room, slamming the door shut silently behind her in a bid not to alert Liliana about anything. Somehow, Liliana managed to hear the door slammed shut. She paused on her track as she walked down the stairs earlier before she heard the sound of the door that was slammed shut.She raised a brow and clenched her fist by her side."I knew that witch was here! I would make sure that I would do anything to kick her
Connor was extremely grateful for the fact that he hadn't heard any bad reports about Carolina and even though he still held Liliana and Kayla in suspicion, he was glad that he wasn't disturbed in any way even though his mind still wandered off to how Carolina was faring. The more his heart lingered for her, the more it felt like he should be home and then confess his feelings for her. He also wanted to apologize to her because a part of him felt like the reason why she was not reciprocating his calls was for the fact that she was still annoyed with him.Maybe he couldn't blame her that much since she would still hold a grudge against him for using the debt her father owed in an exchange for her. Jack walked closely behind him as they climbed up the stairs that led to the elevator in silence. Connor suddenly stopped on his track, causing Jack to stop as well as Connor turned to look at him with a raised brow."What's Luc saying now?" Connor questioned Jack who folded his hands behin
With anger rushing inside of her, Carolina clutched her cloth tightly, trying hard to not scream as she caught sight of her phone whose screen shattered into pieces already. However, as much as she was livid at how her plan was ruined, she couldn't get something off her mind and that was for the fact that she had a scream. She was sure that she heard someone recoil in horror and the scream sent shivers running down her spine. Her mind quickly strayed toward Roseanne and as much as she was annoyed with the fact that her phone screen was ruined, she couldn't get the sound of that scream out of her head."I hope that something bad didn't happen to her?" Carolina muttered to herself as she rushed down the stairs, running toward the direction where she collected Connor's number from the maid.However, when she got to where Roseanne was, she was confused with the fact Roseanne wasn't the one who screamed out loud. Roseanne had her Airpods plugged and with the way she bobbed her head to the
Carolina was damn sure that she wasn't hallucinating when she said that she heard someone recoil in horror and with the way the scream sounded scarier this time, she was sure that something weird was going on in the house and she would get to the root of it. With her beating with trepidation, she instantly forgot about the reason why she was there and was about sauntering to where the scream emanated even though she couldn't pinpoint where exactly the scream emanated from."What could be happening at the moment?" Carolina muttered to herself and she was about to leave the room when someone suddenly grabbed her by the wrist and when she turned to look at who it was, it was Liliana."What in the world are you doing right now? What gives you the right to think that you could leave my presence without my permission" Liliana yelled, tryna to force a glare but deep inside of her, her heart was beating with trepidation because she knew that it was Stella who made the scream. Stella wasn't b
Connor got out of the bathroom and scuffled through his hair with the towel in a bid to dry up his hair. He caught sight of his phone that vibrated on the table, he wanted to ignore the notifications because he thought that it was something related to the business, and at the moment, he didn't have the strength for any of that and the only thing he wanted to do at the moment was to collapse on the bed and sleep off. Connor was about to turn in another direction when he heard his phone buzz again with another different notification. He tossed the towel aside as a grunt escaped his lips while he hastily walked towards the phone whose notifications kept triggering all of his senses."It could be Jack or my assistant, Scott! I thought I told him not to disturb me about anything relating to the business until the business trip was over" Connor muttered to himself as he sauntered towards the table where he placed his phone with frustration evident on his face.He smacked his lips and slipp
Carolina and Liliana turned to look in the direction where the voice emanated and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets when they saw who it was. Carolina palmed her forehead as she exhaled out while a scoff escaped Liliana's lips as soon as she locked eyes with Roseanne who was cleaning her hands with a handkerchief."This was what I was saying earlier! When you give them too much freedom, they stab you in the back and kind of disrespect you all the whole time! That was what I was trying to prove to you the whole time!" Liliana said to no one directly but Carolina knew that she was stylishly addressing her and she was trying to look for ways to evade the discussion that raised concerns.Carolina rolled her eyes to the back after catching a glimpse of what Liliana was about to do by trying to change the topic and make sure that the aggression was transferred to Roseanne who stood transfixed to the spot, glancing back and forth between Liliana, Carolina, and Roseanne.In a bid
They all made their way to Liliana's room and with the way Liliana was all confident, Carolina detected that something was wrong and she was still trying to wrap her head around what Liliana was up to when the door to her room was swung open.Carolina poked her head inside with Kayla sauntering closely behind her. Carolina watched as Kayla swiveled her gaze around the whole room and when they both locked eyes together, Carolina shot her a smile that wasn't reciprocated as Kayla took her gaze off Carolina and walked towards Liliana who had a bunch of keys dangling from her pocket."This is going to be a long wide ride and I hope that at the end of this all, you would fall on your knees and beg for mercy because this time, I wouldn't be going easy on you anymore," Liliana said, staring deep into Kayla's eyes while Carolina watched as Liliana did everything in her power to try to instill fear in her.However, what surprised Carolina was the fact that no matter how much Liliana tried to i
Carolina suddenly caught on to what Liliana was trying to do and when she locked eyes with Kayla, she could see the expression in Kayla's eyes that were screaming yes that she doesn't believe Liliana. She didn't know if that was much of a thing to follow or hold on to but somehow, she kind of had faith in the expression in her eyes and she would make sure that she turns back the table that Liliana is trying so hard to turn to her."I know what you are trying to do and I would tell you the details that you are dying so hard to hear plus I have a witness that would actually prove the legibility of my words while the truth is that you don't have anyone to even believe you in anyway" Carolina said with all boldness, causing Liliana to force out a smile that soon turned into a smirk."Who could be the witness?" Liliana thought inwardly because if she could remember vividly, the day she saw Carolina holding the box, she didn't have any company. Was there a possibility that Carolina was tryi
