Carolina stood up from her bed, she tried to open the door again but it didn't budge. How could Connor be this harsh towards her? It's been hours since they returned home and since then, she has had nothing.Her throat felt dry and patched, she needed water to quench her thirst. She cursed at Connor again, wishing she still had her old life. She missed school and badly wanted to return.She curled in a fetal position on her bed as she sulked, too sad about how her life had turned out to be. She heard the sounds of plates crashing and then the voice of Connor yelling at someone. Carolina ran to the door and listened hard. She assumed he was shouting at a servant and wondered why.She thought of banging the door again to gain his attention but thought against it. "What if he's still mad at me?" She thought and sighed defeatedly. Tears clouded her vision as she walked back to her bed.She lay flat and began to sob softly. Little by little, her soft sob turned into a hysterical cry as
Carolina's eyes widened and for some seconds she tried to understand what was currently happening. "Luc? What are you doing here?" She asked as soon as she was able to grasp what the situation entailed. Her hand which was still on the doorknob kept the door open.She didn't expect the intruder to be Luc and what surprised her most was how he managed to enter her balcony."I see you figured out my name, Carolina" Luc replied instead with a smile. Her eyes bulged, he knew her name?Without waiting to be ushered in by Carolina, he entered her room and made himself comfortable on the cushion in her room.Carolina panicked, Luc shouldn't be in her room of all places. "What would be Connor's reaction when he sees Luc here?" She thought to herself.She peeped outside the balcony to make sure no one saw Luc enter her room before proceeding to lock her door. “How did you manage to come up here? Who said you could enter too?" She threw a lot of questions to him at once as her brows knitted i
"I'm sorry for what Connor did to you, it's my fault" Luc apologized.Carolina shook her head in refusal because she wouldn't allow him to take the blame for something that wasn't his fault in anyway. "No Luc, it's not your fault and I'm sorry for whatever Connor took away from you" she replied soothingly and Luc smiled."You're such a good friend Caro, I'm very happy I met you" Luc added and Carolina smiled appreciatively.The loud banging on her room door caused her eyes to bulge. She stared at Luc with so much fear."Carolina, are you okay!" She heard Connor yell from outside her door.She got scared immediately and panicked“Oh no. Luc you.. you need to leave right now. Connor has come to get me" she stuttered, pulling Luc up.When she saw he wasn't standing up, she left him and hurriedly began to pick the paper from the box that was used in packaging the cake before proceeding to dispose of it accordingly.She didn't want to leave traces that would create suspicions."I'm coming
Connor's face darkened with anger as soon his eyes fell on the name tag with Luc written on it.He sauntered toward it and picked it up. The veins on his neck popped and his jaw clenched.Carolina, on noticing that Connor was still in the room, raised her head from her plate of food.Connor was holding something in his hands, she wondered what it might be.It looked sort of like a tag "But whose is it?" She thought to herself.Her eyes widened when she read the wordings on the tag, "What was Luc's tag doing in her room? Oh no, he must have left it earlier when he came into her room" she panicked."What is she going to do now?" She asked no one in particular as she bit her fingers.She knew she would be in greater trouble if Connor found out that Luc was with her, in her room.The room suddenly became too hot for her and sweat formed on her forehead.On the other hand, Connor squeezed the tag into his hands, rage overwhelmed him once more.His suspicions have been confirmed and the male
Carolina turned back in fear, "why did the door suddenly close as soon as she entered?" She wondered.She ran back to the door and tried to pull it open but it didn't open.That was when she realized that she had been locked in again, but by who? Outside the door, Mirabel slipped the keys to the basement down her pocket.An evil smile crept at the corners of her lips. She had always known that Carolina would one day fall into her trap and right now, she just fell right into it.Unknown to Carolina, she had been monitoring her from the moment she left her room in search of Alpha Connor.Till she stumbled upon late Mirabel's room. She was glad Carolina took the risk of going into a room that no one had entered since the death of Mirabel.She quickly rushed to get the spare keys to the room and when she returned, she slipped in without making a sound. Carolina was so engrossed in reminiscing over their memories that she didn't notice that she was being followed. As soon as she stepped i
Carolina was still locked in the dark basement, no matter how loud or hard she screamed for help, no one came to her rescue and that pissed her off.She was already sweating heavily and her tears kept flowing, she was becoming weak and tired but didn't want to stop. Her throat dried up from too much yelling and she became dehydrated. She was in dire need of water.Her lips had become pale and her eyes, tired. She was no more banging the door furiously but was hitting it weakly. She was the only one in the darkroom and it made her keep shivering in fear.Her eyes were beginning to close and her limbs were failing her, it kept shaking because she was already out of strength and energy. She couldn't stand strong anymore and so she slowly slipped to the floor, sobbing gently.She thought of who would have bolted the door from the outside and her mind went to one person.Mirabel, she's the only one that hated her guts. Carolina was certain that Mirabel must have hands in having her trapped
The terrifying sounds of gunshots filled the air and Carolina rose in alarm. Her eyes were filled with fear and horror."What is happening? Are we possibly under attack?" She wondered.Sweat filled her body and she began to fidget out of fear. Something was not right, how come she was locked in while they were being attacked?Maybe she accused Mirabel falsely."She may not be the person who locked me in, then was it Connor?" She wondered. "Was he after my safety and commanded that someone lock me in so that I will be safe? Was he aware of the plans whoever made to attack him?""No, it can't be Connor, He promised never to lock me up and not hurt me again. Then was it Jack? Hold on, could Luc be the one attacking Connor?" She reasoned with wide eyes but kept being confused.She let out a deep sigh, whatever that's happening, she wished it would end quickly so that she can regain her freedom. She sat back on the floor and buried her head in between her legs. She tried not to keep shaki
Luc hadn't seen Carolina again since he left her room through the balcony. Having Connor accuse him of kidnapping her made him livid. He was not finding the accusation funny and smelt that something must be attached to it."Maybe Connor wants to use the lie that I kidnapped Carolina to have me injured and also to pick a fight with me," Luc thought to himself. The both of them were still on the ground engaged in a very tough battle that was already looking too bloody.Luc groaned as the impact of Connor's punch ran all over his face. He winced in pain and spat out blood, then glared at Connor who was on top of him and punching him."Where is she?" Connor thundered and punched him again. Luc got infuriated and made to return the punch but Connor was quick to dodge and gave him another blow that made his lips burst.The metallic taste of his blood caused him to growl out in anger. He pushed Connor away forcefully and stood up on all fours.His eyes were shining and his fingers grew out
