Connor could hear everything that was going on inside Mirabel's house because of his sharp sense of hearing, that was how he discovered that his uncle was in the same room as Mirabel.He could recognize Mr. Gregory's voice anytime and when he heard his voice emitting from Mirabel's living room, Connor stopped in his tracks and listened carefully.Connor's uncle seemed to be in a very terrible mood because his voice kept rising and it could be heard all over the house. Connor was confused and was as well curious to know what was up."Why are you always showing how much of a slow brain you can be? It was just a simple task Mirabel. An easy one, even a child of five could do it yet you couldn't" Mr. Gregory scolded Mirabel in a harsh tune."Master, I tried my best, I tried to persuade her. She believed me but her son didn't " Mirabel reported in a breaking voice, Connor suspected she was in tears probably because his uncle might have hit her or something and so he decided to take a close
Mr. Gregory drove into a nearby bar with Connor following closely in his car. He got down from his car and walked straight to the bartender to order something to drink while waiting for the person he had invited over to arrive.He took a sip out of his glass and nodded with satisfaction for he liked the taste the drink brought to his taste buds. Connor took that opportunity to meet up with Mr. Gregory who did not expect him to be there.“Woah, what a pleasant surprise!” his uncle exclaimed, giving Connor a pat on the shoulders, seeing that Connor did not react negatively, he proceeded to offer him a handshake. Connor on his own could not reject his uncle’s harmless gesture of greeting and so he received the handshake and sat beside him. “Connor, I did not expect to see you here” Mr. Gregory beamed while beckoning the bartender to come closer. “Give him something too” he instructed, still grinning at Connor as if he was happy to see him. The bartender returned with a full glass of dr
Connor did not expect his uncle to say something as absurd as telling him to get married to Mirabel, the same person who attempted to murder him by poisoning his drink, the lady who is a big suspect in all the atrocities that have been going on in his house. Connor was dumbfounded, he choked on his saliva that instant, and his uncle helped him with his drink to calm him. “There is no need to act too shocked Connor, what I am telling you is the right thing you should do. I don’t even see what it is so good in that girl that Mirabel doesn’t have,”“She is beautiful, softhearted, and kind also she cooks well and she is on good terms with your parents” Mr. Gregory tried to convince him. He was only doing this because he knew that if Connor accepts Mirabel, it will be in his favor, and achieving his plans of overthrowing Connor won’t be a hard task.Connor on the other hand immediately sensed that something was up with his uncle. He did not need anyone to tell him that something must be
Carolina’s body grew cold as she listened to Connor’s words. She could not deny the fact that she was traumatized about going back to the same place that held lots of sad memories for her.She was trapped for days in a basement without food or water in that house. Roseanne died in that same house and she got the news of Kayla’s mysterious attack and death in that place too. Carolina’s body shuddered with fear at the thought of going back there and her face became pale because she was scared.“Hmm? How about that?” Connor muttered, snapping her out of her scary reverie. “I think it’s the best thing to do at this time since tolerating my mother has become such a tedious task for you and it’s not like you are even putting any effort to see that your relationship with her changes for the better,” Connor gritted.Carolina was at a loss for words, she could not believe Connor was the one saying all these to her when he knows clearly that his mother has been the person making things diffic
Mirabel who had been watching Connor from the time he entered the kitchen till when he struggled into his room came out of Kourtney's room where she had been hiding.A satisfied smile played on her lips as she watched Connor stagger into his room. Unknown to him or his mother, Mirabel had sneaked into the kitchen a few minutes after Kourtney left and had spiked the fruit juice which Kourtney had left for her son, Connor.She clapped her hands excitedly and let out a gleeful cackle before tiptoeing into the room Connor shared with Carolina. She made sure to close the door without making a sound so as not to alert Kourtney before proceeding to lock it securely.She knelt beside Connor who was sprawled on the floor and sleeping deeply, she raised her hands to his face and traced it lovingly, a wide grin spreading across her face. Nothing made her happier than having Connor in this condition, she was happy he fell into her traps.She stood up from the floor and began to arrange Connor's b
Carolina left Connor's mansion angrily and went to the school's hostel to settle in for the meantime. She kept pacifying herself not to be bothered or depressed by Connor's actions. On the other hand, Connor tried to open his eyes but they felt way too heavy for him to do. Still, he forced himself and slowly opened his eyes.Everything felt strange to him at first as he lay unmoving on his bed, just staring at the ceiling in the room. He was slowly regaining consciousness as the memories of all that happened earlier that day came rushing.He recalled the slight argument he had with Carolina and the fact that he couldn't find her or her bags in the room when he returned. He was sure she had left for the mansion on her own because she was mad at him. Connor palmed his face in frustration and let out a strained groan.He still felt sluggish and weak as the effects of the substance in the juice were still wearing off. Amidst the strange tiredness, Connor forced himself to sit up from the
Connor cursed inaudibly while pulling his hair in frustration, his whole body felt itchy and he was visibly worried. He closed the room door which Mirabel forgot to close when she hurried out properly and then proceeded to clean up his body.He felt disgusted with the fact that Mirabel had touched him and so he scrubbed his body harder than he used to. When he was done, he changed into something casual and packed some of his clothes into a bag.Since Carolina had left without him, he was going to go back to the mansion on his own and meet her there. Connor was convinced that Carolina was going to be home and nowhere else and so he hurried up so that he can get to the house on time. As he rushed down the stairs, Kourtney ran up to him and blocked him from exiting the house. She had a stubborn look on her face and even if Connor's demeanor wasn't all that friendly, she wasn't shaken. Besides, Connor was her son so what would he do to hurt her?Connor groaned deeply. "Not now mother, I
Connor drove straight to Carolina’s college at a high speed. He was expecting to see Carolina as soon as he drove into the school but what he expected was not what he got as there were lots of people waiting to be attended to. Connor felt that the long queue was in his favor because he will get to talk with Carolina before she signs up to be given a room in the school's hostel.Connor came down from his car and inhaled the air but strangely enough, he could not detect Carolina's scent. His brows furrowed in confusion but still, he did not give up on his search. As he approached the queue of young students waiting to be attended to, he picked up a faint scent of her. His eyes twitched and he began to scan the environment for any trace that could lead him to her.Not getting any positive result, he walked straight to the receptionist on the counter."Mister, you should stay on the line. Besides, this is not the queue for males" the receptionist stated, her face buried in the pile of f
