"Caroline." The voice whispered in her ear, a low and sly tone flowing from Max's lips, who looked at Caroline with an intimidating gaze. "Why do you have to behave like this? I want nothing but your favor."Caroline stared at Max with indescribable feelings—anger, fear, and disgust—mixed in her gaze. Max stood just a few steps away from Caroline, his face wearing a small, suffocating smile. He stood there calmly, carefree, as if he had never felt guilty for the pain he had caused Caroline. But behind that calmness, his eyes held something darker, a terrifying obsession."Let me go, Max," Caroline said, her tone trembling, though she tried to speak firmly. "You have no right to keep me here. Jared will find me, and he'll get me out of here."Max just snorted, as if Caroline's words were a joke. Unhurriedly, he stepped closer, cornering Caroline even further. Her body was pressed against the wall, and the small space made Caroline feel even more trapped. When Max extended his hand, Car

The mansion was now full of cars lined up in neat rows, black in color with the kind of sports cars whose prices were beyond belief. Men in black suits with burly bodies were all along the way to the large room that had been crowded with many people. The entire room was filled with bodyguards with their ears plugged with communication devices."Did you call Donny and Thalius here?" asked Jared in a flat tone to the man beside him.The man answered with a nod of his head first. "Already, boss. They'll be here soon; I've contacted them directly, and they've agreed.""Then, where are they now? Why haven't they come yet, huh?" Jared got up from his seat, shaking out his big shirt with a smug face. He walked towards the large window in his room, causing the bodyguards there to immediately split up and make room for their boss."Sorry, boss. They said they're stuck in traffic and we can't call them back yet," the man replied, checking his cell phone and quickly dialing the person his boss w

In a dimly lit room, Jared looked at a portrait of his marriage to Caroline that made him emotional. He wondered how his wife was doing, whether she had eaten or not. Or maybe she had made a good effort to escape from there. But such thoughts made Jared even more worried."I hope you're okay and not doing anything dangerous. Just wait for me there, because I'm going to rush you and kill that son of a bitch. I'm going to finish him off, leaving him no chance to take another step in this world. Nothing can hold me back, not you or anyone else."For the past few days, Jared had never been at peace. The image of Caroline crying disturbed and saddened him. He was deeply saddened by what had happened to his wife. Even with their various strategic plans to attack the mafia that made everything go wrong."Excuse me, boss."When Jared turned around, he found Donny standing in the doorway with a letter in his hand. "Is it something important, Donny?" asked Jared as he stepped closer to his seat

"Caroline... enough." Aalya said finally, in a low voice.Caroline looked away briefly but did not stop her efforts. She just grunted and continued pulling the rope. "I can do it myself, Aalya. Don't interfere."Aalya leaned a little closer, though doubt was evident on her face. "You're making your hand worse. Don't you see?"Caroline just chuckled sarcastically. "What do you care, Aalya? Didn't you care all along? So why pretend to care now?"Aalya hardened her jaw, feeling like her heart was being stabbed. It was true; her relationship with Caroline had never been good for a long time. They fought too much and often disagreed. But this time, a different feeling arose in her. Seeing Caroline hurt, there was a sting that was hard to ignore."I... I'm not pretending," Aalya replied in a voice that was almost a whisper, as if admitting it was something that was hard for her. "I just didn't want to see you hurt like that."Caroline stopped her efforts for a moment, looking at Aalya with

Aalya's face paled at Caroline's words. "What do you mean?"Caroline took a deep breath, her voice full of pain. "Mom and Dad died because of you, Aalya. You and your bad habits, lies, debts, and all the trouble you caused—it all destroyed our family. You're not just a burden, Aalya. You are the reason they left."Aalya was transfixed, unable to say anything. Caroline's words hit her like a sledgehammer, shattering the fortress of hatred she had built up over the years. "No, that's not possible," she whispered, Aalya's voice weakening."Impossible?" Caroline scoffed. "You really are blind, aren't you? You always think that everyone is wrong and that the world is hostile to you, but you never look in the mirror. Every decision you make is just for yourself, without a thought for anyone else. You destroyed us, Aalya."Aalya looked down, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I didn't mean it like that, Caroline. I just... I just feel like they never loved me.""They loved you, Aalya," Caroli
