Caraline was shocked when she realized that Deric's face was in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat at the sight of the man's pink lips. This raised the possibility that Deric was about to kiss her.Caraline tried to stay calm even though her chest felt like it was bursting with fireworks. Her face was suddenly flushed from the pressure this situation created. She had been waiting for this to happen, but was it possible that she and Deric were going to kiss?Caraline suddenly closed her eyes as she felt Deric move closer to her face. She willed herself to calm down in the face of the momentous event that was about to take place tonight. If Deric asked for more than just a kiss, she would not be reluctant to give him one. She would be cursing herself constantly if the sudden fainting spell happened again.Caraline waited with her heart on the verge of bursting. However, for several seconds, nothing happened."What are you doing?" asked Deric.Caraline suddenly opened her eyes. She s

For the past few days, Caraline has been busy preparing for the launch of a new product in collaboration with Diego's company. She came home late at night. Surprisingly, the tiredness she felt instantly disappeared when she saw Deric welcoming her home. Her demeanor was still as gruff and cynical as ever, but she had no qualms about physically touching Deric or taking advantage of an opportunity.The sky was already yellowing as Caraline prepared to leave the office. She looked over to Helen's room where her assistant was busy with Lucy and a few other employees. She had left early so she could rest. As she exited the lobby, a car suddenly pulled up in front of her."Are you going home?" asked someone who suddenly appeared from the open window.Caraline rolled her eyes. Even though the man was wearing a hat and glasses, she knew it was Diego. "I don't want to spend all my time in this place. You don't want to see me in Moss, do you?""How about a walk around town?" Diego took off his

Caraline woke up as a gust of wind hit her body. The rain was pouring down hard. Her body, which was not wrapped in a blanket, immediately shivered from the cold. It was half past six in the morning. The sky was still not fully lit.Caraline decided to go back to sleep after setting the alarm. She went to bed and fell asleep as soon as her body lay on the mattress. She woke up again when she heard some annoying music. It was still six in the morning.Caraline made her way to the balcony. The rain had completely stopped. The sky was still dark. There was a sparkle of dew trapped on the leaves. The cold air immediately greeted her body when she was outside."Do you want to exercise with me?" asked Deric who was already in the courtyard below. He was already prepared in sweatpants and a thin sleeveless T-shirt. The curves of his body and the muscles of his hands were visible."What have you done?" Caraline asked back sarcastically. The woman was happy to see Deric again, but on the other

Caraline was stunned as soon as she heard it. Her mouth was half open, but not a single word came out of it. She didn't know what to answer at the moment, especially since Deric was looking at her directly. Perhaps Deric had started to suspect something?"I'd better hurry downstairs before the maids speculate on my presence here," Deric said as he opened the door. Shortly after, he walked out of the room.Caraline's legs were suddenly so jelly-like that they could no longer support her weight. She fell to the floor with tears in her eyes. Her fears about Deric finding out about the man who had run her over came rushing back into her thoughts and feelings.For the next few minutes, Caraline could only sit on the floor with various bad thoughts that seemed to kill her. After calming down a bit, the woman started to get up, sitting on the bed. Unexpectedly, time had already crawled quickly."Deric... was just asking about my sister," Caraline said, trying to compose herself, "and all I h

Caraline was suddenly silent when she heard these words. However, she immediately moved faster than before. "Why would I meet with them just to learn about your life? If I wanted to know, I would have asked you directly long ago. Besides, I already know that your life is miserable and boring.""You're right," Deric said.Caraline closed her eyes after saying that sentence. She could hear the disappointment in Deric's tone. She seemed to feel a deep pain when she saw Deric's current condition, and it was all because of her stupidity and negligence in the past."No offense," Caraline corrected, "your life is not as miserable now as it was when I first met you. I promised to make your life better. I-I will try to fulfill all your wishes.""My life did get better after meeting you. I experienced many things that I never imagined before. I guess I don't mind being in this state.""The moment you give up, it can be said that half of your life is dead." Although there was a tone of disapprov

"We'd better catch up with Doctor Tommy soon," Deric said."Don't boss me around." Caraline quickly caught up with Tommy, leaving Deric in her wake. Her face suddenly twisted as she recalled what had just happened. She was both hesitant and stupid at the same time.Caraline and Deric came out of Tommy's room half an hour later. During his time there, Deric had undergone some therapy to regain the use of his legs. He was asked to stand and walk by holding on to two metal bars on his right and left."I've instructed my subordinates to arrange all your needs during your therapy at home, and I'll be supervising you directly," Caraline said as she glanced at Deric.Caraline and Deric entered the elevator."That was helpful," Deric said, "do I have to become your slave again to thank you?""You are indeed my slave." Caraline snickered. Her cheeks were suddenly red as she suddenly recalled the events of that hot night with Deric. "So, you must follow all my orders.""That doesn't seem too di

"Miss Caraline, I've contacted the nearest police department," the driver said without turning around, "They'll be here in a few minutes.""Do whatever it takes to get rid of those criminals," Caraline said with a tense face. She tried to call Helen back, but her cell phone fell out as her hand shook. "God, why do stupid things always happen during critical situations?"The criminals surrounding the car were beating the vehicle's body relentlessly. Several parts of the car were dented, including the window glass which appeared to be cracked. The car shook as it was kicked from various directions. When that happened, Caraline immediately hugged Deric tightly."Ah!" Caraline suddenly screamed as the rear windshield shattered. The woman clung to Deric even more. Her body trembled with fear and her eyes glazed over. The driver's side window was also broken a few seconds later."Get out!" one of the criminals shouted, pointing a sharp knife at the driver's forehead. His other colleagues im

"Too bad, we were ordered not to kill you," said the villain who pointed the gun. His words were immediately greeted by the laughter of his colleagues. "But we were allowed to hurt you as much as we wanted."Deric chose to remain silent while reading the situation. His condition was very unfavorable at the moment. He was outnumbered and outgunned, especially with him being in a wheelchair. It was unlikely that he could survive.The villain who pointed the gun spoke again, "I'll make your hands as deformed as your legs.""You are a useless man," said the other villain."More like a pathetic man.""Look at you! A baby is even more valuable than you.""Can you do this?" asked one villain while jumping up and down. The action instantly became the laughingstock of the crowd."Surely no one would want you.""You're such a useless piece of trash. Women would think a thousand times about making you their lover. You'll only be a statue when you play in bed."Deric was silent as the diatribe ra

The ticking of a clock accompanied the silence inside Caraline's hospital room. She had been unconscious for the past five hours. The sky was already tinged with gray, and the sun was ready to return to its resting place. In just a few minutes, the night would come.From the hallway, Helen arrived with Lucy and several bodyguards. Her face looked tense and angry at the same time. The guards were spread all over the hospital. After hearing the news from Caraline about the crime, Helen immediately rushed to the location after contacting the guards.Helen and Lucy entered the room, while the guards stopped outside. The two women looked at Caraline, who still showed no sign of regaining consciousness. There were no fatal injuries to the Mimiline Group CEO. The doctor said that Caraline only suffered severe shock after the incident."Lucy, you can go and rest now," said Helen, who was sitting next to Caraline's bed. She had bumped into Lucy by accident in the hotel lobby. Lucy said that sh

Caraline quickly broke the embrace and took a few steps back with her arms folded across her chest. Her heart was beating rapidly again as she glanced back. Helen and Setvan had seen what had just happened. She had to act as normally as possible."Close the door to this room and don't let anyone hear our conversation," Caraline ordered.Stevan immediately nodded, went out for a moment, and then returned to the room. Meanwhile, Helen just looked down as she witnessed the hug. From the look and how frantic Caraline was, she could tell that the woman loved Deric. "Why did you suddenly call me to come to your room?" Caraline asked with a stern look while staring at Deric. "You're inconveniencing me. You've interrupted my rest.""But I never asked you to come to my room at all," Deric replied, "Didn't you come to this room because you were worried about me?""Don't make this up." Caraline glared at Deric with both hands that had moved to her waist, asking the man to follow the drama she
