"I'm sorry, sir." Deric began to loosen his grip on Wilson's hand when he saw Caraline running out of the room. He slowly released the shackles on the man's hands. "I seem to have gone too far.""Damn it!" Wilson quickly withdrew his hand, checking his condition. His eyes bulged as soon as he saw the red mark. "You can't run away from me."Deric laughed. "Of course, I can't run. Is this wheelchair too small for you?"On the other hand, Catherine was hypnotized by Deric's voice and gestures. She was silent for a while with her gaze not leaving the man. Once she realized that her actions were wrong, she quickly pinched her thigh."Consider it my greeting," Deric said as he pressed the forward button on the wheelchair. The spherical object's glide grazed the floor of the room and the stares of the people. With a calm expression, he exited the room to catch up with Caraline. "You picked the wrong enemy!" screeched Wilson. The man winced as the pain spread across his hand. "I will avenge

"What's your name, big guy?" asked Catherine with a big smile. She leered at Caraline for a moment."You can call me Deric," Deric replied with a calm expression."It's a good name for where you are right now," Wilson said, accompanied by laughter."I always feel good under any circumstances.""What do you do now?" Catherine turned to everyone present at the event location. She deliberately kept her distance from Deric and did not look him in the eye for more than a second. "What is it about your job that made Caraline fall in love?""That crazy woman needs someone to boost her position," Wilson said. "She may be praised by almost everyone in her town right now, but in front of the Wattson family, she doesn't have the slightest good reputation. She's just a lowly woman who doesn't deserve to have Wattson's blood in her body.""I suspect you are the only child of a successful lord of some city," Catherine continued, "Caraline is good at capitalizing on her beauty.""She had nothing els

Caraline blinked as the invasion of sunlight tore into her consciousness. The woman quickly changed her position to a sitting position. She massaged her head gently as she surveyed her surroundings. This room looked familiar to her. "This is my room."Caraline quickly got off the bed and ran to the balcony. Her mouth was half open when she saw the backyard, the garden, and the sparkling light from the mouth of the lake. The sky was already covered in orange as the sun prepared to return to its resting place. "I'm really at home.""Oh my God, what happened?" Caraline grabbed her hair and ran back into the room. She checked her phone and was stunned when the screen showed the time and date. "It's the day after the meeting. What happened to me? How did I end up here?"Caraline's body sagged to the floor. Her hands tugged at the bed sheets with widened eyeballs. Her breathing suddenly increased twice as fast. She straightened up, grabbed her cell phone, and stepped out of the room. She de

Caraline's rage slowly slackened. The light of the fire and Deric were trapped in her beady eyes. On the other hand, her chest warmed after hearing those words. It was true, the Wattson family tended to make money and wealth the standard of judgment.Speaking of that, it instantly brought Caraline back to the reality of the life she had lived. Her father had to be evicted just because he chose to live with her mother who was a commoner. The bullying that happened to her was a result of that decision. To stand on equal footing with the rest of the Wattson family, Caraline had to pay for it all with hard work to get to where she was today."All I see is you try to get on their level," Deric said."Is that the wrong thing to do?" asked Caraline in a stern tone, "You never know what I've sacrificed to get where I am.""You're way ahead of them. So don't even try to stand beside them because you're walking backward.""What are you saying?" Caraline rolled her eyes."You're running on your

"Why should I care if you can walk again?" snapped Caraline, "Don't be so immersed in your wishful thinking.""Alright," Deric said, "I understand that you're just returning the favor.""I'll call you for a checkup on your condition." Caraline prepared to leave. "It's about my request," Deric said with his hand extended forward, "did you-""Get out of my mind!" Caraline left Deric alone. She entered the room breathing heavily. Not because of the act of running, but because her mind was constantly occupied by Deric. That man's image managed to mess with her mind and heart all day long, including right now. She was really tired."Deric has cursed me."Caraline sat on the side of the bed after setting her bag on the nightstand. She turned her head towards the balcony her breathing slowly stabilizing. "If that damn accident hadn't happened to him, I would have been ...."Caraline's mind flew to wild imagination. She didn't know how to react when it happened. At the same time, her heart w
