Carolina whimpered, trying to dislodge Liliana's hand away from her arm but the more she tried, the more Liliana tightened her grip around her arm. A tear slid down Carolina's cheek, struggling to remove Liliana's hands from her's. Liliana's eyes flattened, cocking her brow to the left with an evil grin crept at the corner of her lips."My first encounter with you, you talked back at me and you even attempted to hit me on the face. The second encounter with you, you brought Connor into your room and your plan was to spend the night with him but because of my quick intervention, your plan failed like always" Liliana gritted her teeth that clanged against each other.Carolina's eyes reddened, glaring furiously at Liliana who was beginning to have fun with the way she caused Carolina pain. Connor was in a board meeting and somehow, his spirit was disturbed and he had a feeling that something bad was going on at the moment. The image of Carolina kept replaying in his head. "Sir?" His p
Carolina blinked her eyes a couple of times, trying to process the word that fell out of Connor's mouth. There was a glint of doubt evident in his orbs and somehow, it annoyed her greatly. She shifted her gaze from Connor back to Liliana who took the maid's hands in hers, squeezing them gently. A pitiful expression formed on Liliana's face, stroking the maid's hair while whispering soothing words in her ear. She averted her gaze from the maid and fixed it on Carolina whose face was devoid of emotions as she gaped at the scenery happening before her."Are you deaf? Didn't you hear Connor's question? Why did you hit the maid on the head?"The first aid kit, Carolina was holding onto fell from her hands as she shot Liliana a glare."What kind of ridiculous question are you asking? Were you not the one who hurled it at her? I wouldn't deny the fact that you didn't throw it at her intentionally and I was the one you had in mind but fortunately for me, I dodged it and it hit the maid! Caro
Liliana and Connor's eyes grew wide at the same time while Carolina watched them, wondering who was Luc for Liliana and Connor to be this surprised. She was resisting all the urge to ask about who Luc was. All of a sudden, she recollected what Jack said and how he mentioned that Luc was dead and somehow, he was alive again. "I am sorry for chiming into your conversation but what did you mean by Luc was dead and he's now alive?" Carolina questioned, fixing her gaze on Jack who stared at her with confusion evident on his face while glancing back at her and Connor. "And you are?" Jack questioned, looking at her skeptically because she kind of looked familiar to him. He mind-linked Connor, asking him about who Carolina was."Alpha Connor, who is she?"Connor shot a death stare at him but Jack was already used to his glare so he was unperturbed by it. Instead, he tried to recollect where he had seen Carolina, and slowly, the memories of Carolina flooded his head. He remembered that he ca
Liliana’s mouth was slacked open while everyone fixed their gaze on her. She quickly ducked her head, trying to process how Connor knew about her fling with Luc. Her eyes twitched a couple of times as she raised her head to look at Connor who kept a straight expression on his face. Liliana wouldn't accept defeat before Connor and she would rather walk through fire than allow her honor and self-respect to be disrespected before someone like Carolina. She ducked her head again, trying to form the perfect words to say in her head as she chewed the inside of her cheeks before shooting Connor a glare that he was already used to.“Connor, how dare you accuse me of something preposterous like that? You insulted me before the woman that you had a fling with? Where's the sense in that? How dare you disrespect my feelings, my loyalty, and my love toward you? How dare you!” Liliana roared with her eyes blazing with fire.Connor scoffed, glancing at Jack before turning to look at Liliana whose c
Carolina paced back and forth in her room, wondering what could have happened to Liliana for blood to drip down her leg like that. She knew that she had grown to dislike Liliana but she couldn’t just wrap her head around what could be going on with Liliana at the moment. The only thing she could do was hope that she would be fine! “Maybe I should call Connor?” Carolina muttered to herself, reaching her hands for her phone but when she recollected that she didn’t have Connor’s phone number, she hissed out of frustration and tossed the phone aside before plopping on the couch. She propped her feet on the center table as her mind strayed toward Liliana.“Is there a possibility that Liliana was battling some kind of illness that kind of affected her internally and caused her to bleed?” Carolina thought inwardly as she sauntered to the bathroom and rinsed her face with water. She gazed at her reflection in the mirror and she couldn’t help but to expel a sigh because of how much she has ch
Carolina was about to lash out at the woman for calling her a maid but she was completely taken aback when the woman mentioned that she was Connor's cousin and most especially, about how she mentioned her name instead of Liliana. Carolina's mouth was agape as she suddenly clamped her mouth shut. The woman shot a smile at her before plopping on the couch and kicking the shoes off her feet. Her auburn red hair was packed in a ponytail and the more Carolina stared at her, the more she looked awkwardly familiar to her. Carolina was still trying to recollect where she had seen her when the woman snapped at her with a smile on her face. “Courtesy demands that you offer your guests food or water and you should at least treat them right! I am so thirsty at the moment please get me chilled water, thank you” She said. Fascinatingly, Carolina didn’t hear a single word that she said because her mind strayed off already and she was trying to decipher where she had exactly set her eyes on the we
Connor and Jack both drove to the office in haste as he Jack pulled up in the parking lot while he quickly got out of the car in a bid to open the door for Connor but before he could get toward where Connor was sitting, Connor already came down from the car as he walked hastily to his office while Jack scurrying closely behind him. “Walk faster! We have to plot a plan that would put an end to whatever Luc is planning on doing because I am damn sure that he’s planning something terrible and if you all had killed him then, then we wouldn’t be in this heart-wrenching situation at the moment! Surely know that anything that happens now is your fault and you would take responsibility for it because you were the one who reported that he was dead and that guy plunged his body deep into the ocean” Connor gritted teeth as he nodded at those who lowered their head when they came across him. Jack didn’t need anyone to tell him that it was better not to defend himself at the moment because the m
Connor fumed as he ambled to the accounting department in a tiger-like thread. He was still on his way to the accounting department when thoughts about Carolina flashed through his head and he couldn't help but wonder if she was doing fine at the moment.A sudden wave of anger rushed through Connor when he heard the screams, cheers, and chants of people that emanated from the accounting department. He glanced at the time on his wristwatch as he swept the hair that fell on his face to the back as his fist squeezed into folds. Connor suddenly stopped on his track, turning to look at Jack and Scott who walked closely behind him if not for Jack’s quick intervention, Scott was about to bump into Connor because of his abrupt stop.Connor forced out a smile that gave eerie vibes as he placed his hand on Scott’s shoulder, squeezing it gently while Scott shuddered because of the way Connor squeezed him on the shoulder. “Scott, can you let me know about the number of people that are in the ac
