Connor was jolted out of his thoughts because of the knock that landed on the door. He swirled in his swivel chair before coming to an abrupt stop as he shifted his gaze to the door, waiting for whoever was at the door to come in. Connor cocked his brow to the left when the person kept knocking on the door. He was first thrown into a state of confusion as he tried to wonder who could be at the door at the moment. The knock on the door seized and he was surprised when he saw Jack poke his head inside.Connor heaved out a sigh that depicted his frustration as he ran his hands through his hair. He couldn't believe his eyes nor could he wrap his head around what was happening at the moment, most especially, when he saw the person that sauntered behind Jack. His haughty eyes gleamed underneath the dim lights as he adjusted the rim of his glasses and fixed his gaze to Connor whose eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Connor stood to his feet and the only thing he wanted to do at the moment was

Connor was extremely grateful for the fact that he hadn't heard any bad reports about Carolina and even though he still held Liliana and Kayla in suspicion, he was glad that he wasn't disturbed in any way even though his mind still wandered off to how Carolina was faring. The more his heart lingered for her, the more it felt like he should be home and then confess his feelings for her. He also wanted to apologize to her because a part of him felt like the reason why she was not reciprocating his calls was for the fact that she was still annoyed with him.Maybe he couldn't blame her that much since she would still hold a grudge against him for using the debt her father owed in an exchange for her. Jack walked closely behind him as they climbed up the stairs that led to the elevator in silence. Connor suddenly stopped on his track, causing Jack to stop as well as Connor turned to look at him with a raised brow."What's Luc saying now?" Connor questioned Jack who folded his hands behin

Carolina was damn sure that she wasn't hallucinating when she said that she heard someone recoil in horror and with the way the scream sounded scarier this time, she was sure that something weird was going on in the house and she would get to the root of it. With her beating with trepidation, she instantly forgot about the reason why she was there and was about sauntering to where the scream emanated even though she couldn't pinpoint where exactly the scream emanated from."What could be happening at the moment?" Carolina muttered to herself and she was about to leave the room when someone suddenly grabbed her by the wrist and when she turned to look at who it was, it was Liliana."What in the world are you doing right now? What gives you the right to think that you could leave my presence without my permission" Liliana yelled, tryna to force a glare but deep inside of her, her heart was beating with trepidation because she knew that it was Stella who made the scream. Stella wasn't b

Carolina and Liliana turned to look in the direction where the voice emanated and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets when they saw who it was. Carolina palmed her forehead as she exhaled out while a scoff escaped Liliana's lips as soon as she locked eyes with Roseanne who was cleaning her hands with a handkerchief."This was what I was saying earlier! When you give them too much freedom, they stab you in the back and kind of disrespect you all the whole time! That was what I was trying to prove to you the whole time!" Liliana said to no one directly but Carolina knew that she was stylishly addressing her and she was trying to look for ways to evade the discussion that raised concerns.Carolina rolled her eyes to the back after catching a glimpse of what Liliana was about to do by trying to change the topic and make sure that the aggression was transferred to Roseanne who stood transfixed to the spot, glancing back and forth between Liliana, Carolina, and Roseanne.In a bid

Carolina suddenly caught on to what Liliana was trying to do and when she locked eyes with Kayla, she could see the expression in Kayla's eyes that were screaming yes that she doesn't believe Liliana. She didn't know if that was much of a thing to follow or hold on to but somehow, she kind of had faith in the expression in her eyes and she would make sure that she turns back the table that Liliana is trying so hard to turn to her."I know what you are trying to do and I would tell you the details that you are dying so hard to hear plus I have a witness that would actually prove the legibility of my words while the truth is that you don't have anyone to even believe you in anyway" Carolina said with all boldness, causing Liliana to force out a smile that soon turned into a smirk."Who could be the witness?" Liliana thought inwardly because if she could remember vividly, the day she saw Carolina holding the box, she didn't have any company. Was there a possibility that Carolina was tryi
