Chapter 2

"Honey, we'll be there in a moment. I've also told my subordinates to take care of our wedding. In three days, we will be married; I don't want to wait too long and make you leave me." Othniel gently rubbed Caroline's head, which was resting on his shoulder.

Caroline was not asleep, but she had been drugged with sleeping pills by Othniel because Caroline had gone berserk earlier.

A few hours later, they had arrived at Othniel's mansion. Othniel carried Caroline to her room.

"Mom called?" Othniel went out of the room to receive the phone call.

Othniel explained to his mother that he had not been in the office for three days because he was on vacation with Camryn. Of course, Othniel lied; he didn't want anyone to know that Camryn had betrayed him.

"Mom, Othniel will explain everything later. Now, Othniel, hang up first," said Othniel, then turned off the phone call.

Othniel went back to his room. He took off his shirt and lay down beside Caroline.

"Why is Jonathan holding me so tightly?" Caroline opened her eyes slowly. She had not yet realized that the man hugging her was Othniel.

"Honey, let go of your hug. I want to cook, aren't you hungry? I'm already hungry." Caroline muttered softly while trying to get rid of Othniel's hand. Othniel hugged her even tighter.

"There's no need to cook. I already told the maid to prepare food for us. Wait another 15 minutes," Othniel replied.

Caroline bulged her eyes. That was not Jonathan's voice.

"What the hell are you doing in my room," Caroline shouted as she pushed Othniel's body.

"You're not wearing a top either!" Caroline looked very angry.

"Honey, you're just disturbing my sleep. Do you know my habits? I can't sleep if I wear a top. Did you forget?" said Othniel irritably as he walked towards his wardrobe. He took out a black T-shirt and put it on.

"I have to see Jonathan," Caroline said quietly.

"What are you saying? Do you want to see that lowly man? He's dead, honey. You won't be able to see him. We're in London now anyway," Othniel replied with a chuckle.

"You're so cruel! I don't know you. But you ruined my life," Caroline shouted.

"I didn't ruin your life; you betrayed me. I don't know what the reason was. Until you prefer that lowly man rather than me. I've given everything for you, Camryn!" Caroline looked sharply at Othniel. It seemed like this man had indeed gone mad.

Caroline had often explained to Othniel, but Othniel still did not believe her words and continued to think of her as Camryn.

"Wait. I have proof that I am not Camryn. Let's return to Italy; I'll show you my identity card." Othniel laughed at Caroline's words.

"No need, dear. I'm not that stupid; I don't care about all the evidence you will provide because I'm sure it's all fake. You can't fool me," Othniel replied.

"Shit! Again, that guy doesn't believe me," Caroline grumbled.

"Whatever you plan will not work. No matter how far you go, I'll find you. Now, let's eat. Didn't you say you were starving?" said Othniel.

"No, I didn't. I have no appetite," Caroline replied curtly.

"I don't accept rejection!" Othniel immediately carried Caroline's body to the dining room.

***

Today, Othniel is officially married. The wedding party was held so grandly. Caroline's look did not show happiness; she just remembered Jonathan. Jonathan should be by her side now. 

Caroline was also forced because Othniel threatened to kill her best friend, who was in Italy, so she finally agreed to get married. She didn't want to lose her best friend; it was enough that Jonathan was the victim.

"I have to think of a way to keep this bastard from touching me," Caroline said to herself.

"Honey, are you tired?" asked Othniel.

"You think?" Caroline replied curtly, which made Othniel laugh.

The evening she had arrived. Othniel was going to hold another party, but Caroline refused because she was not feeling well. That is true, indeed. Caroline felt her body was tired.

"Finally, you are now officially the son-in-law of the Xaero family," Amora said.

Caroline just smiled a little. She felt like shouting and saying that she was not Camryn. But she was afraid that Othniel would be desperate, considering that Othniel could kill Jonathan quickly.

They were gathered in the living room, with Othniel tightly embracing Caroline.

Suddenly, a young woman who was heavily pregnant came in. Othniel was startled and looked sharply at the woman.

"Who are you?" asked Amora in surprise.

"I am Agnes. I came here to ask Othniel to take responsibility. I want Othniel to marry me," the woman said.

"What do you mean? My son is not a lowly man," Amora snapped.

"How dare you come to my house. You want to destroy my relationship with my wife?" The woman was terrified of Othniel, especially seeing Othniel's sharp gaze as if he would kill her.

"You already impregnated me; I just want you to take responsibility," she said quietly.

"Shut up! You're just a whore. How dare you accuse me," Othniel snapped.

Othniel immediately pulled the woman's hand out. I don't know what Othniel was talking about; what was clear was that Caroline saw Othniel giving money to the woman.

"Honey, let's go inside. Don't ever listen to what that woman said," Othniel invited while putting his arm around Caroline's waist.

"Othniel is right; many women want to enter the Xaero family. Mom is sure that woman is just accusing Othniel and wants to ruin your relationship," Amora said.

"I want a divorce! I don't love you anymore, either. You can't threaten me! You should marry that woman since she's already carrying your flesh and blood." Othniel clenched his hands into fists, not accepting Caroline's words.

"I will not divorce you!" growled Othniel.

"That woman came to see me before she came here. She asked me to leave you; she also showed me proof that you had impregnated her," Caroline shouted.

"Shit! How dare Agnes destroy my relationship with Camryn. Now I know why Camryn betrayed me," said Othniel silently.

"You can't be like that; we just got married. I know you're angry, but listen to my explanation first," Othniel said quietly.

"I'm going to ask that woman for the evidence she has; you can't stand in my way. If Mom has seen the evidence, Mom must support me in divorcing Othniel." Caroline immediately ran into her room.

"Damn!" grumbled Othniel.

"Honey, you calm down first. Tell Mom the truth so Mom can help you," Amora said as she stroked her son's back.

"Othniel will explain later, but Othniel has to think of a way to keep Camryn from divorcing me." Othniel didn't want to lose his wife just because of that prostitute.
