Carolina's heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw Connor standing at the door. The smile on Connor's face disappeared as well as his eyes traveled from face to the luggage that she was clutching tightly to. When she noticed that Connor had his eyes fixed on her luggage, she tightened her grip around the handle of the luggage and swallowed the lump that formed in her throat.For a second, Connor was trying to process what was happening exactly at the moment because everything that he saw wasn't just adding up. He glanced behind him to see if there was a possibility that when he was coming toward the house, maybe he walked past Liliana without him noticing because the reason why Carolina was holding a luggage must be because Liliana had finally decided to leave the house on her own will and Carolina was helping her with the luggage. That was the only explanation that made sense to him at the moment. Carolina averted her gaze from Connor as she ducked her head, biting the cor
The key dangled in Liliana's hands as she sauntered to the mansion while hissing multiple times as she ran her hands through her hair frustratedly. She was about to take another step when she caught sight of Jack who leaned against the car with airpods plugged in his ear.She felt her stomach tie a knot as she rushed toward him while giggling to herself. She kept swiveling her gaze around to be sure that Connor was in sight because she wanted Connor to see how full of glee she was. Her face contorted in a frown when she noticed that he wasn't around where she was. She hissed and ambled toward Jack who leaned against the car while humming a song. He was so engrossed in what he was doing that he didn't even notice that she was standing before him until she tapped him on the hand. His eyes flicked open when he saw Liliana standing before him while waving her hands. His brows furrowed in confusion for a bit before he lowered his head in reverence for her."Ewww, why did you lower your h
Carolina's eyes grew wide as soon as she saw Liliana standing at the door. She suddenly snapped back to her senses and before she could push Connor away, Connor broke the kiss, staring deep into her eyes even though she didn't have her gaze fixed on him. His heart kind of broke when she didn't reciprocate his kiss and when it felt like she was about to give into his touch, she stopped mid-way and suddenly went cold.Tears welled up in Liliana's eyes as she swallowed the heavy lump that formed in her throat. Her heart was pounding in her ear with her heart thudding hard in her chest. It was more like every piece and part of her was crumbling into pieces! She couldn't believe her eyes and it looked more like she was in a daze.Connor followed the direction of Carolina's eyes. He caught sight of Liliana who stood at the door with tears threatening to fall from her eyes as she retracted her step backward, shaking her head slowly in disbelief. Just the mere sight of her, caused a wave of a
Connor's eyes scrunched up because of the dilemma that he found himself in as he made his way for Liliana's room. He trudged up the mini stairs, brushing his hands on his forehead as he expelled out a sigh and shook his head slowly. Different thoughts raced through his mind as he climbed up the stairs that led to Liliana's room and swallowed the lump that formed in his throat. He did know why he felt uneasy but what he knew was that he didn't feel guilty about Liliana in any way. His eyes flattened as he bit on the inside of his mouth. Different thoughts clashed in his head, thoughts about Carolina and Liliana clashed at the same time. However, the one that overpowered his thoughts was that of Carolina because no matter how much he tried to wrap his head around the possible reasons why she wanted to leave, he couldn't just come up with any idea except for the incessant fights that must have ensued between Carolina and Liliana.Swallowing the heavy lump that formed in his throat, Con
Liliana jumped to her feet as soon as she heard Kayla's voice and the mention of something that would give Connor the upper hand. She gritted her teeth as she ran her hands through her hair, biting the corner of her lower lips before sweeping her backward with her hands"Could she have found Stella? Is my plan about to backfire? What could Kayla be up to? How dare she break the agreement between us? Does she want to see Stella? Does she even have any idea about what I may do to Stella?" Different thoughts ran through Liliana's head as she paced back and forth.Carolina and Connor both exchanged stares before fixing their gaze back on Kayla who still raised the phone. Carolina didn't know the full details of the deal that Kayla might have struck with Liliana but with tie venom in Kayla's eyes, she knew that she was about to make a rash decision that would either backfire or work out in the end."What could Kayla be up to and what evidence could she have? Has she been playing the fool a
Liliana gawked in a way that wouldn’t alert anybody as a sly smile creased her face. The blood that dripped from her wrist to the ground kind of triggered each of her senses and as much as it did, it kind of excited her because she knew that with what she was able to do, she had successfully bought time before she pondered about what to do with Kayla. Liliana ambled to the door with her heart already made up about how she was going to take control of the situation. She was going to teach Liliana a lesson that she would never forget. She could hear how Carolina panicked outside but she didn't care about how Carolina felt nor did she care about how bothered she was. The only thing that mattered to her was for her to make sure that everything goes back to normal. Carolina was about to bang her fist on the door for the umpteenth time when she heard the door being unlocked from the outside. The rate at which she beat rapidly suddenly dropped as she heaved a sigh of relief. However, the
Connor's nose flared as his face scrunched up. For a second, he was trying to fathom what could have led Carolina to think that she was a commodity that he bought. He wanted to know what was going through her mind and with the tears that welled up in her eyes, he would see the tears that were threatening to fall."You know that is not true! You and I know that is not true" Connor's voice broke down because, with the tears that formed in Carolina's eyes, it felt as if his heart was being shredded to pieces. It was now starting to make sense to Carolina. Why he always stared at her with those glossy eyes that usually held so much passion for her, the way he always looked at her, talked to her, was lenient with her, it was all starting to make sense to Carolina. But, she was now starting to understand that maybe even before she knew that Connor was her mate, Connor had known her all along. He knew that she was his mate and that was the reason why he used the debt in tying her down."Thi
Liliana's eyes grew wide and maybe it was because of the shock or because she wasn't trying to accept what was happening at the moment because there was no way Connor would get her arrested over something as flimsy as that. Different thoughts coursed through her mind as she stared at the handcuff in her hands, still trying so hard to believe what was happening at the moment."You are under arrest and you have the right to stay silent because anything that you say would be used against you in a court of law," The police officers said while Liliana's brows furrowed in confusion. She couldn't believe that she was being arrested at that moment. It was something that she would have never imagined in her wildest dreams.Suddenly, she snapped back to her senses and screamed at the top of her lungs. "Connor, Kayla, please have mercy on me and don't get me arrested. I am sorry for everything that I have said and I am sorry for treating you badly, Carolina" Liliana pleaded with teary eyes, sh
