Carolina returned to school after her fight with Connor regarding Jackson's offer to take her home in his car.She tried to avoid Jackson in any way she could but it was of no use because they attended the same meeting and so met with each other every day.It was on one of these occasions that he decided to invite Carolina to a house party."Hey Carolina, you've not been around. I hope all is well" Jackson requested when he saw Carolina one time in the hallway."Of course Jackson, there's absolutely nothing wrong" she returned with a nervous smile on her face."Very good then, I was wondering if you are going to be free on Friday" he started to say. Carolina narrowed her eyes at him."Why? What is happening on Tuesday?" Carolina returned."Remember when I told you about my friend that kept getting threats from his roommate at his house?" Jackson asked and Carolina nodded in affirmation.“Of course, I remember. What about it?" She asked."Well, we decided to move in together and so we
Connor paced about his room that night still dialing Carolina's number. He just wasn't feeling good about the whole studying out late thing Carolina stated that she would be doing.The thought that something was going wrong with Carolina kept nudging at the back of his head and he was seriously worried about her well-being."Pick up already, talk to me" Connor muttered with creased brows, thinking of what could keep Carolina's line unreachable.A knock sounded on his room door and Jack poked his face in, "Alpha Connor" he greeted with a bow and entered fully inside the room."What news have you brought? I hope it will be something profitable, if not, keep it until I'm ready to hear you out" Connor uttered, paying less attention to Jack who was standing before him."It's about Miss Carolina" Jack reported and Connor turned to him immediately, giving him all of his attention."What about her? Have you found any trace of where she might be? Is she safe? Bring her back home right now" Con
Connor was told on the phone that Carolina was home, "Someone brought her back home, she looks so pale and sick" the maid reported. Connor was furious at Carolina but it was not the right time and place to express his anger, "Take her to her room immediately and call the family doctor to attend to her at once" he ordered."Yes Alpha" the maid concurred, "And as for who brought her home. Make sure he doesn't live in the mansion. Keep him, hostage, until I have returned. If I come home and learn the person had left, then all of you at home will pay dearly. I am on my way" Connor ordered and took the phone off his ear.He stared at the Vice-chancellor one more time before making his way outside the office. Jack simply apologized to him for the inconvenience they caused on behalf of Connor and followed him out too. Connor's heart felt like it was shredding into two, it hurts so much to learn that his mate lied to him but at the same time, he was willing to hear what she had to say about
Connor was at a loss of speech as he stared at Carolina with a surprised expression. "Did she just lie to me so as not to disclose where she had been the night before?" Connor pondered in his heart, refusing to believe Carolina would be bold enough to lie to his face."Did you say you were reading for a test?" He asked in a small voice to confirm her words, uncertainty in his tune.Carolina nodded abruptly, refusing to make eye contact with him so that he wouldn't see beneath her lies, "Yes, I thought you received my message about my plans of not returning home because I had to stay back and study. Why does it seem like you did not see it?" Carolina returned and Connor blinked countlessly.He folded his hands in a fist and gnashed his teeth against the other as he stared at Carolina with mixed feelings. First of disappointment, betrayal, heartbreak, and worst of all, anger. Carolina swiveled her room with a puzzled expression, "Connor, my throat feels so dry. I will like to go down t
Connor was taken aback by Carolina's words. His brows furrowed and his face became pallid."Su.. suffocated? You've always felt suffocated here?" Connor stuttered, trying hard not to believe his ear."Exactly Connor, suffocated, that's how I feel here" Carolina snapped instantly, glaring at Connor. "I can't believe this, this is unbelievable Carolina. What do you mean by feeling suffocated here? Because as far as I can remember, Carolina. There is nothing you have asked of me that I did not provide. I gave you everything you ever wanted Carolina, Every damn thing! So why will you utter such a thing" Connor returned in confusion."Because it is the truth Connor, the truth. I don't like it anymore here but do you care about my reasons? No!" Carolina snapped with a deep scowl.Connor rubbed his face in frustration and made to sit down on their bed, "I thought we are over this? I thought this conversation died down long ago. Why are you bringing it up again?" Connor requested in a calm t
Carolina paced about her room while biting her fingers deep in thought. She wondered how Connor got to find out about the party, how she got home, and most especially what occurred during the party.The blurry images she kept getting were making her curious to know what happened back then in Jackson's new house. Carolina wondered if she acted out of hand, in general, she wanted to know how the party went because no matter how much she tried to remember, nothing was popping into her brain, and that made her sort of worried. She turned to the dressing table and could see her handbag on top of it, this made her slightly glad that her things were still intact even though she couldn't remember a thing.Carolina instantly hurried towards her bag and opened it to take a good look at the items in it. She could see her cell phone and purse with her money at the exact amount she left it in.Carolina was puzzled, "What exactly happened?" She thought hard and slowly reached for her phone. She n
It turns out that Connor hired a man to monitor all of Carolina's activities while she goes and comes back from school on a daily occasion.Connor only did this to find out more details about what happened at the party since Carolina has refused to let him in on it. The young man Connor hired, after some days of continuously following Carolina about and taking notes of how her day goes reported that there was nothing suspicious about Carolina's activities.Connor became convinced that he must have misunderstood Carolina and thought that she was keeping things from him. This made him start to slowly let go of the grudge he held against Carolina for lying to him in the first place.All the while Connor monitored Carolina secretly, they were never on good terms. Carolina would return from school and lock herself in her room while Connor would not bother to check on her.The issue of the clash had caused a big fight between the both of them but when Connor realized that Carolina did not
Carolina felt all the blood in her face drain in a split second. Her feet turned cold and goosebumps covered her whole body. She turned to look at Connor whose expression was something she could not explain or read, he just stared at the projected picture without saying a word, his face cold and veins starting to pop on his neck. Carolina gulped down nothing as Connor stared back at her with mixed feelings. He was horrified by what was on show for everyone to see and was as well disappointed in Carolina for stooping so low and worse of all for playing him by making him believe that nothing happened that night."Connor, this.. this is not real, I did not do this I swear. Something is wrong somewhere because I did not do this, believe me," Carolina started to say tearfully as she made to touch Connor who immediately shifted away from her, still staring at the picture in shock. He turned to Carolina again and then at the picture, then he turned around to stare at their guests who were
