Chapter 31: The unsaid tension

Caroline pov

"You didn’t disappoint the masterpiece, Caroline," Elijah's words continue to repeat in my mind.

Those words were the exact words in the note of the dress that I had worn to the party. Xavier had said it was not him but refused to tell me who it was. But now it all made sense.

Why was he so angry?

The reason he insisted I change the dress?

I shivered, but not just from the chill. But from the chaos that was Xavier breathing down my neck. It looked like he had a lot to say but didn't know how to start.

I looked down, wrapping my hands around myself. I couldn’t bring myself to look at him.

The world spun before me.My mouth went dry.Special guest?Delegates?Nathan smiled politely, offering his hand like we were strangers. Like we hadn’t burned down entire years together with passion, “Pleasure,” he said smoothly.“Don’t,” I snapped before I could stop myself. “Don’t act like we haven’t met before.”Joeline’s eyes flickered with amusement. “Oh? Do you two know each other?”Nathan smirked. “We have… history. But then again, who doesn’t in this room?”Daphne stiffened beside me, and when I glanced at her, her lips were pursed, eyes calculating, like something had just clicked.That was when I knew she knew something. Since yesterday I have been having this feeling that she knows something she is not saying. Her actions now confirmed Mt suspicious.The look she gave Nathan wasn’t surprising.It was recognition.She knew him, even before

    Chapter 48: Engagement party Caroline povMorning came faster than I had anticipated. I hardly slept last night, leaving me tossing up and down until dawn, but that didn't stop me from getting ready for the day.“What” I asked Daphne who was staring at me like I had grown two heads.“Nothing, just that you are different” she had said, before dismissing it, and together we prepared for the engagement party.**********************A soft music was coming out of the grand hall, which was the venue for the event.

    Caroline – POVThe door clicked shut behind me, and with it, followed all the bits of any hope I had let myself harbor from last night.I had clung onto an empty shell , like dear life.He didn’t remember.He didn’t deny it out of guilt or anything. He genuinely didn’t remember any of it.The heavy feel of disappointment covered Mr from head to toe. I could almost taste it within my mouth.I felt foolish. So utterly foolish for thinking last night meant something, for believing, even for a second, that those whispered words were real. That his feelings weren’t just echoes from a drunken haze.I had led myself to believe what was not there, all because I wanted it. I needed a caring person, not just any contract binding two people, or just for the thrill of having sex. Noo, I needed a real thing.Tears stung the back of my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. Not here. Not now. I breathed in shakily and kept walking, clutching the sleeves of my hoodie like they could hold me togeth

Of all the things I had thought about last night, I didn't see myself drinking to stupor, but the feeling became magnified tenfold.The feelings that came rushing in like a tide of floods.I blinked, trying to lift up my heavy head, But all I could think about was her…she’s gone.Of course she is.The mornings were always lonelier now, but this one stung differently. Heavier, with realization at what I had done. My head dropped back onto the pillow as fragments of yesterday clawed at me.Caroline.She’d looked at me like I was nothing. Like I didn’t deserve a second chance.And I hadn’t even gotten to say a single word of apology. She had stormed off

    Chapter 45: The spin offCaroline POVThe loud laughter from our car could be heard miles away.The drive back to the mansion was lighter than I expected. Daphne had turned into her usual sassy self, cracking jokes like we hadn’t just witnessed a dramatic showdown and an embarrassing heartfelt confession a few minutes ago.“So there was this one time,” she said, flicking her hair back with one hand, “a drunk lady tried to flirt with uncle Fletcher, the manager of the Harrington branch. She spilled wine on his shoe and asked if he wanted a refill.”I burst into an uncontrolled laughter, barely holding back tears. the image of a posh drunk woman offering a foot-soaked refill too ridiculous to hold in.“Oh my God,” I coughed in between laughter. “Please stop, I can’t breathe!”Daphne grinned, a satisfied look plastering her face, that she have managed to let me forget my sorrows.
