Alpha Connor was devastated to see the whole island in nothing but flames. Different helicopters that had water to put off the vast fire sprayed water and despite everything they did, the fire kept getting larger and larger. Dead bodies were brought out of the fire and the grotesque scene before Connor caused him to boil as he clenched his fist by his side.Gritting his teeth, Connor swallowed the lump that thickened beneath his throat as he ran his hands through his hair. He stared at the scene happening before him and the more he stared, the more it still looked unreal on his face like he was in a trance.“This can’t be happening! A lot of lives were lost, and the damn gold bars were missing as well! This can only be the handiwork of no one other than Luc!” Connor’s eyes glinted with fury inside as he swallowed the lump that formed in his throat.He gulped and ran his hands through his hair frustratedly and his anger further intensified when he caught sight of Jack who ran towards h
"Excuse me, Kayla" She informed Kayla she arched an eyebrow and waited for more explanation."Are you in a hurry to diss me? Are you already bored of me?"She joked and Carolina laughed and shook her head."Where are you off to?"She added. "The restroom or do you want me to pee here because I am down for either one of them", Carolina joked and Kayla laughed and pushed her away lightly as she squinted her eyes in disgust. "No please leave " Kayla nodded, giving her permission to leave. "Do you know where the restroom is?"Carolina asked as she looked around in search of a sign that depicted a female restroom. "Yeah, I saw one as we strolled here. Go down the hall by your left you would see a sign" She described it for her and Carolina nodded. "Thank you, Kayla ", Carolina said and made her way to the room.When she got to the restroom she saw it was empty and she sighed in relief. At least she can talk to herself without someone thinking she is insane and needs to be admitted to a p
Mirabel managed to get home before Kayla and Carolina. She heaved her bag on the table and paced around, her nails in her mouth. She was so livid and loathed her even more than she did. Pacing around was not making her feel better so she sat on the couch, she sat up, and her elbows touched her thighs. "Why can't you die, Carolina? Why is it so hard to erase you? Why the hell are you so lucky? I swear on Liliana's life, I will end you with the next tantrum” She tapped her feet as she spoke to herself. "Who saved her this time? Who is the unfortunate person who came to her rescue? Who is that person I will end the person next when I am done with that miscreant? Arrrrrrrghhhhhh!!!!" She yelled at the top of her lungs as she stood up and paced around again."How can I end her for good before she ruins my entire plans?" She thought hard and deeply but no bright ideas came to my mind."Damn you and your luck, Carolina. You will not be so lucky your entire life. I swear that once yo
Carolina’s mouth was slacked open as her eyes widened in shock, almost popping out of its socket. She glanced back and forth between Connor who was furious and whose voice shook the ground underneath, causing her to quiver in fear. Fixing her gaze on Mirabel who had tears cascading down her cheeks as she pleaded for mercy. With the way she cried, she knew that something wasn’t right and there was a high possibility that she had mistaken the coffee for hers.Kayla, who stood beside her, leaned by her side and mouthed.“I don’t believe that she would do something like that, she is too nice of a person to do something like that”"Even I am finding it hard to believe all that is happening at the moment. I guess it was true when they said never truly know someone", Jack glanced at her, causing Kayla to be taken aback because she knew damn well that her question wasn't directed to Jack but to Carolina who clasped her hands tightly over her chest.“She is nothing like Liliana, right?", Kayl
Carolina needed to clear her head off because of the random thoughts that coursed through her mind. This was too much for her. She decided to go for a run early in the morning and somehow, she couldn't fathom how she managed to leave Connor's mansion without anyone knowing. The security that surrounded his mansion was pretty tight and it came as a surprise to Carolina that she was able to sneak out of the house.Connor sat on the porch on the balcony as he sipped coffee and his mind strayed towards what happened the previous day. Even though he was in disbelief about everything that happened, he couldn't just wrap his head around how Mirabel went from being the sweet and loving person that she was to now attempting to murder him.What he couldn't fathom the more was the fact that Carolina stopped him from throwing Mirabel out of the house.Days after the bombing on the island, he still couldn't find a lead that pointed to who the perpetrator was. All the CCTV cameras were all broken a
"Luc?" Connor stated unable to place a finger on how the man he had been looking for was standing right before Carolina. "How in the world is he here ?" He gritted his teeth.Ever since the incident of the bomb blast in his warehouse, Luc disappeared into thin air only to appear now. Something wasn't right but he just couldn't fathom what it might be.He heard Carolina laugh again and folded his hand in a tight fist, what business did she have with this man? He thought within himself.The veins on his neck popped and his fingers grew long and dug into his palms. Nothing would please him more than having Luc tied to a stake and burnt till he was certain he was gone for good. "Here, you've got something on your hair"He heard Luc say to Carolina and his eyes widened, the guts."Where?" He heard Carolina ask innocently."I will get it out for you" Luc offered but before his hand could get to Caro's hair, Connor was already in front of him.He grabbed Luc's hand, sending dangerous glar
Connor kept pulling Carolina who followed quietly. Both of them were eerily quiet as each of them pondered on their different thoughts. Carolina wondered why Connor behaved the way he did toward Luc. Without a doubt, she wanted to scream her displeasure at the attitude he displayed but a peer into his icy face got her mute.Connor has never been this cold to her and she hated it. He has always been sweet and tolerant of all her behaviors whether good or bad. Cold shivers ran down her spine as her eyes met with Connor's icy ones, she felt like a cat in a cage.She knew he was not happy with her one bit and is not letting her go unpunished with the way he kept squeezing her hand.“This is the first time that Connor would be getting mad at me. It is better that I do not say a word” She muttered, gulping on her spittle.They entered the mansion and all the servants began to greet them, but with a glance at Connor's angry face, they didn't need anyone to tell them to keep their distance so
Carolina was appalled and she was taken aback to see Luc. She was aware that he now owned a house on the estate but it never occurred to her that it was the building across from hers. She could see his balcony clearly from hers and if she took a closer look, she would probably see his interior outlook.Luc waved at her, the friendly smile not leaving his face.Though Carolina felt uneasy about the situation, she couldn't resist the friendly gesture coming from someone she now considers a friend.She waved back and tried to return the smile he gave her.She remembered the fight that transpired between Connor and Luc as she swallowed the lump that thickened in her throat. Connor will freak out at her if he found out that Luc's balcony was just in front of hers and that it will be easy for him to communicate with her anytime he likes.She didn't like Connor's other side and will do her best to avoid it. Look how she ended up after getting him infuriated.She slowly withdrew her hand caus
