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
Concerning the deal that was the reason why Connor went on a business trip, he was able to bag the deal and that was all thanks to Luc's constant visits to the psychiatric hospital. Connor later found out that the person Luc constantly met all the time was a close friend of his that was having mental issues. Connor threatened to do things that he would never imagine to her if he didn't back off the deal. Surprisingly, Luc didn't even mince words with Connor and he dropped the deal as soon as he got Connor's threatening messages.It kind of surprised him because someone who had been planning to exert vengeance on him suddenly dropped the deal without any argument or fights. Connor shoved the thoughts aside because the only thing that mattered to him was that he didn't lose the deal to Luc in any way.He made his way to the airport and with every step that the took, there was this excitement building inside of him because he couldn't wait to meet Carolina. It was also about the time th
Carolina's heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw Connor standing at the door. The smile on Connor's face disappeared as well as his eyes traveled from face to the luggage that she was clutching tightly to. When she noticed that Connor had his eyes fixed on her luggage, she tightened her grip around the handle of the luggage and swallowed the lump that formed in her throat.For a second, Connor was trying to process what was happening exactly at the moment because everything that he saw wasn't just adding up. He glanced behind him to see if there was a possibility that when he was coming toward the house, maybe he walked past Liliana without him noticing because the reason why Carolina was holding a luggage must be because Liliana had finally decided to leave the house on her own will and Carolina was helping her with the luggage. That was the only explanation that made sense to him at the moment. Carolina averted her gaze from Connor as she ducked her head, biting the cor
The key dangled in Liliana's hands as she sauntered to the mansion while hissing multiple times as she ran her hands through her hair frustratedly. She was about to take another step when she caught sight of Jack who leaned against the car with airpods plugged in his ear.She felt her stomach tie a knot as she rushed toward him while giggling to herself. She kept swiveling her gaze around to be sure that Connor was in sight because she wanted Connor to see how full of glee she was. Her face contorted in a frown when she noticed that he wasn't around where she was. She hissed and ambled toward Jack who leaned against the car while humming a song. He was so engrossed in what he was doing that he didn't even notice that she was standing before him until she tapped him on the hand. His eyes flicked open when he saw Liliana standing before him while waving her hands. His brows furrowed in confusion for a bit before he lowered his head in reverence for her."Ewww, why did you lower your h
