Carolina suddenly stopped on her track, turning to look at the door as she was at a loss for words to say. She retracted her step backward, scanning the rook with her eyes while looking for a place to hide. The song that was being hummed alerted her from the outside and she didn't need to see the person's face before she would know that it was Liliana. She quickly swallowed the lump that formed in her throat and went into the closet to hide. As soon as she found a hiding place, she heard the door creak open slowly as Liliana kept laughing uproariously before heaving a sigh. Liliana was glad that everything was finally falling into place and when Connor gets back from his business trip, the first thing he would do was kick Carolina out.However, she was confused about something. She was confused about why Connor didn't call her despite the video that he saw and the claims that were made. She placed her hands on the wall for support as she leaned by her side a bit and slipped off her
Connor was jolted out of his thoughts because of the knock that landed on the door. He swirled in his swivel chair before coming to an abrupt stop as he shifted his gaze to the door, waiting for whoever was at the door to come in. Connor cocked his brow to the left when the person kept knocking on the door. He was first thrown into a state of confusion as he tried to wonder who could be at the door at the moment. The knock on the door seized and he was surprised when he saw Jack poke his head inside.Connor heaved out a sigh that depicted his frustration as he ran his hands through his hair. He couldn't believe his eyes nor could he wrap his head around what was happening at the moment, most especially, when he saw the person that sauntered behind Jack. His haughty eyes gleamed underneath the dim lights as he adjusted the rim of his glasses and fixed his gaze to Connor whose eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Connor stood to his feet and the only thing he wanted to do at the moment was
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
