Both men glared daggers at themselves but Connor, on recollecting the reason he had come to meet Luc in the first place, threw his face off and took a deep breath."Look here Luc, I never killed Liliana. I need you to believe me, if you're doing all you are doing to my family just because you want to avenge Liliana's death, then you should stop because I did not Kill her, you are only punishing the innocent. I'm innocent of your accusations Luc" Connor stated and Luc's brows furrowed."All I have been doing to your family? Connor, I have not even started. Keeping Carolina with me was my first approach to revenge" Luc revealed to Connor's astonishment."You mean you have no hand in the blackmailing and attack of Kayla? You did not send any threatening text to me?" Connor asked and Luc shook his head. “ Of course not, why will I do that?" He returned. Connor sighed deeply, Luc was never the culprit, but who then was after his life?"I'm sorry for attacking you Luc, trust me I did it ou
Connor gulped down nothing, his face white like he had seen a ghost, Carolina's sudden request to see Kayla took him off guard. He shifted uncomfortably and avoided her gaze.Carolina noticed how strangely Connor was behaving and became puzzled."What could be the reason Connor is suddenly tense? Perhaps he didn't hear me" Carolina thought within herself and went ahead to poke Connor."Where is Kayla, Connor?" She asked with all seriousness. Connor could not look into her eyes, he didn't want to answer her question because he knew she would be so hurt. He tried to avoid the question and maybe talk about something else, totally different from what will bring Kayla to the table."Urmm maybe she's busy with work or something. Why don't you let her be for now, we will talk about her later" Connor said with a nervous smile, he prayed she would be convinced by his excuse.Carolina only nodded, "Ok then, let's talk after you must have released Luc, I will be inside," She said and Connor nodd
The doctor turned to Connor who was quietly watching him as he attended to Carolina. He gave him a soft smile, "Alpha Sir, Your mate is not in any critical condition. She only fainted out of the shock at what I suspect to be maybe a piece of bad news or trauma?" He explained and Connor nodded."Bad news, she heard something she was not supposed to hear of yet" Connor answered calmly and the doctor nodded, "Right, bad news. Well, she is alright sir, and will soon wake up, don't panic," the doctor said and made to carry his briefcase so that he would start leaving. "One more thing, if she awakes, avoid anything that will make her remember the sad news. And even if she does remember, don't leave her side and sympathize with her. She can throw violent tantrums or just sit there looking into space. At that moment, don't force her into a conversation or chide her to get a hold of herself. She will get better and accept the fact with time" The doctor stated and proceeded to bow in respect,
Mirabel's face paled and all she could think about was a way to deal with Luc in ways that he would never decipher. She was so angry that Luc was going to expose her evil act and have her kicked out or worse still killed. Then he would be the one to achieve all his plots towards Connor's throne and not her. "Never!" She spat and stumped inside the house.Earlier on, After Connor had carried Carolina inside to be attended to, Jack was asked to release Luc. Jack was not happy about it, he didn't want to believe that Luc was innocent but still he had to carry out the instructions of the Alpha. He entered the room where Luc sat, wallowing in his thoughts. His entrance caused Luc to look up and when their eyes met, they both stared at each other, different thoughts running through their minds.Luc was aware that Jack didn't like him as much but he was most worried about Carolina's status. "The Alpha says you can leave his mansion. You are free to go Luc" Jack stated with an expression
A surprised gasp escaped Roseanne's lips as she listened to Mirabel’s conversation, she shifted back in shock and mistakenly stumbled on the vase behind the wall. It made a sound that made Mirabel turn abruptly, “Who is there?” she requested immediately but got no reply, she became alarmed and started approaching the place where the sound came from.She had a sharp knife with her which she planned to use on whoever she found eavesdropping on her conversation with Connor’s uncle. Roseanne needed no one to tell her that she was in trouble if Mirabel caught up with her and so she skillfully flew to safety before Mirabel could get to her.Mirabel got to the corner where the vase was kept and was stunned at not seeing anyone there. She proceeded to raise the curtain but still found no one. A tired sigh escaped her lips and she thought she was just overreacting, “maybe I just feel like I’m being watched out of fear. There is really no one here, I should head back in” she said to herself
Roseanne took out the recorder she used in recording from her apron pocket as soon as she left the room, she had hoped to expose Mirabel with the opportunity she got to serve Miss Carolina some water but her plans were ruined when Mirabel appeared too. “That sly witch, she is everywhere I go” she spat referring to Mirabel. Roseanne mused over her short encounter with Mirabel on her way to give water to Miss Carolina.“Who knows if that water was not poisoned” she snorted, her face scrunched distastefully. She recollected Mirabel’s slight threat of kicking her out of the mansion for good and suddenly got worried about what she meant.“I will not just stand by and watch Miss Mirabel make plans to get rid of me. I must make known of her atrocities before it is too late” Roseanne thought within herself, pressing the recorder to her bosom. She was fully aware that she needed to report Mirabel’s conversation to either Connor or Carolina but she was confused about whom to report to.Rosean
Everyone's minds were troubled by what they just witnessed. Roseanne's body was still on the floor, blood was gushing out from her head and soon it turned into a pool around her corpse. It was indeed a gruesome scene to behold. Her eyes were wide open and her lips were slightly agape.Carolina gasped for breath at the scene, she could not believe what just happened and Roseanne was suddenly looking like a ghost who had come to haunt her. A scream escaped her lips at the sight of Roseanne's blood.Jack and Mirabel rushed out to meet the scene too. Mirabel on beholding Roseanne's body let out a shrill cry and fell to the floor, thrashing and cursing inaudibly. Her whole body kept vibrating in fear as she cried.Jack was beyond confused as to what he was seeing. He felt like he was hallucinating and was not seeing clearly, "Was this not the same person I spoke with about three hours ago? How did this suddenly happen?" He wondered, his throat suddenly parched.He licked his lips which had
The doctor arrived and was ushered into the room where Roseanne's lifeless body was kept. He took her hand up and watched as it dropped without any form of obstruction.The doctor became aware that Roseanne was long gone but he still carried out the instructions he was given and proceeded to check for any sign of a heartbeat or pulse from Roseanne but got nothing. Roseanne was dead and nothing could be done about it.He shook his head in pity and finally closed her eyes which had been opened all those times. He also covered her corpse with linen that was on the cupboard beside the bed where Roseanne lay. Jack was with him, he watched sadly as the doctor confirmed Roseanne's death. He slowly turned to the wall and punched it hard.Jack was not happy with the sudden death of Roseanne so he resolved to ask for more details, regarding the accusations she made toward Mirabel.He was not satisfied with the answers she had given him and believed there was more than meets the eyes but all th
