Carolyn's POV

With a jerk, I sprang up into a sitting position. What the! W-why am I in the kitchen? I remember being in the dungeons where my sister.... S-she put a knife through my heart while our dad watched.

I frantically looked around to try to understand what was happening. That's when I noticed a guy from our high school walking past the kitchen door out into the open. He was in boxers. He gave me a dirty smile before stepping out. A girl, extremely tired-looking and sweaty, followed hi

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 104

    Rafael's POV "What are you doing here?!" We both asked together. "I work here." She answered with a dark scowl. I had no comeback because I was more focused on why she had to work?! Wasn't her millionaire father providing for her? Suddenly I reminisced about what Genelia had told me— Carolyn Cooper is living at Simon's place. And now she's working at Lindsay's shop. I know the two old men are good friends. I grew up seeing their hair color turn to white, so I know them personally. In fact, when I moved out of the Alpha's mansion, Simon offered to give me an apartment for free. But I'm not a freeloader. I told him I'll get an apartment when I have enough money. Not that woods are bad. It's the safest place and the quietest according to me. I've grown accustomed to the wild environment. "Now your turn. You tell me why you are here." She asked me arrogantly. A corner of my mouth lifted into a scornful smirk. "Are you blind? Can't you read the logo here?" I pointed at the logo on

    Carolyn's POV "This wasn't there when I started working. I'm sure I didn't see anything." Amazed, I pulled it out and unfolded the paper to read it. [Carolyn Cooper, You're working very hard. You're a strong girl. But it's very disappointing that your parents don't give a shit about it. Wait... Correction— Your fake parents! I know they're not your biological parents. Do you know that? You know it now! Alpha Benson and Luna Taylor of Night Storm Pack are NOT YOUR BIOLOGICAL PARENTS. And that's why it was so easy for them to hurt you all these years. I pity you, Carolyn. The fact that you've been having it all rough and painful makes me feel bad.At least your REAL biological parents are not like this. They are sweethearts. They love and care for you. Do you know they're hoping to reunite with you? They're hoping that one day you'll go back to them. Your real parents... They miss you so much. Do you also want to go to them too, Carolyn?] I hit the glass with a loud thud. Luckil

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 102

    102Carolyn's POV "Okay, be confident, Carolyn. You already have it." I sucked in a breath before walking inside. "Hello." I greeted politely and a man with white hair looked up. "Are you Carolyn Cooper?" "Yes, sir. I'm Carolyn. Nice to meet you, sir. And thanks for hiring me." I forwarded a shaky hand. Lindsay looked at my hand and the tremors in my voice before he smiled. He was on the other side of the glass counter, arranging the sweet delicacies at display. He came towards me and took my hand. "Thanks for accepting to work with me, Carolyn. You know, many girls I hired before didn't like me much. You can say I'm strict." I might have frowned doubtfully because he added. "Don't judge me by my kind nature, sweetie. I'm indeed a strict man.""This shop is my life. My wife started it fifty years ago, and she passed away twenty years ago leaving all her recipes with me and a dream to see it go wide and loved. I'm fulfilling her dream on her behalf and I won't accept any excuse."

    101Carolyn's POV "Carolyn, girl, you're awake!" Genelia threw herself on me as I opened my eyes. "What am I doing in my room? The party?" I blinked in confusion as I gazed around. "Didn't we go to the party to celebrate me getting a job... Or was it my dream?" I was forced to wonder because the sky out of the window was bright and birds were chirping merrily. There was golden light of sun streaking the floor, meaning it was going to be a warm day. "It wasn't a dream, Carolyn. We did go to a pub to celebrate the happy news but..." "But?" I raised an eye as I also tried to raise myself and sit straight. "You fainted, Carolyn." Genelia's eyes were full of questions and sharp with assessment. "She started screaming like someone was trying to grab you. You went like: No, no! Don't... Don't touch me! Please, no!" Her imitation hitched my breaths. I slowly curled my fingers into the blanket and pulled it under my chin. "What was it, Carolyn? Do you... Have some kind of trauma? Or a

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 100

    100 Rafael's POV I stuffed my hands in my pocket as I looked away. To be blunt, I felt not even an iota of pity. Genelia probably got the wrong idea about Carolyn. And maybe she doesn't know her real identity. She's a papa's princess spoiled too hard. "You know what the worst part is? Her family is so uncaring to her. It's like she doesn't exist for them." My heart skipped a beat. "Did you just say that her family... Her family..." I didn't complete that as I was too petrified. "Hmm. I don't think her family cares, Rafael. That's the impression I got when her mother refused to offer her any help with the unexpected situation at the hostel." My eyes enlarged in amazement. Was I hearing things? Or was this their way to fool me and get me off her back? "What gave you that impression?" I raised an eyebrow as I still felt doubtful. "She mumbles in sleep." She sighed in agony. "I heard her speak two days ago when I was sleeping at her apartment at Simon's.""Simon's! What is she doin

  • Rise Above Rejection   Chapter 99

    99Carolyn's POV I immediately started rubbing my hands together as it was freezing hot. My breaths steamed in the air as my face started getting numb. Damn, this was really very cold. "I... I think c-celebrating in my apartment w-would have been better." I stammered from the cold. "Don't worry, the place inside is very warm. We wouldn't even need our jackets." Genelia held my hand and dragged me across the street at a building that had no windows. It made my guts overturn as I considered turning back around. But my eyes fell on Genelia and a warm reassurance filled me. This girl saved me when we weren't even friends. I trust her. Although my nerves were frayed because I was nervous with the trauma of past experience combined to it, I followed Genelia into the building. A big bald guard stood with folded hands in front of an entrance that looked like an opening in the cave of a mountain. "This is a themed pub, Carolyn. They have three different areas where we can party. The cave
