The uncomfortable feeling that had been gnawing at Caraline ever since finally boiled down to Diego's confession. The man had once again shown the seriousness of his love. However, Caraline still couldn't keep Deric out of her heart.Caraline took a deep breath, tucking her hair behind her ear. Her heart was completely overwhelmed with anxiety at the moment. Along the way to her residence, the woman simply leaned her face against the side of the window with her hands occasionally squeezing her dress.The car finally entered the residence. Caraline's jaw dropped when she saw the bodyguards and maids swarming outside the house. The woman hurriedly ran out of the vehicle."What happened?" asked Caraline as she approached."A few minutes ago, there was an explosion in this house," Anthony said."How could that happen?" investigated Caraline with a furious look."The explosion came from one of the cooking appliances in the kitchen. We've checked the entire house, and we didn't find anythin

"Are you serious, sir?" asked Thomas for the umpteenth time to Deric, "I don't recommend this at all. Your decision is extremely dangerous for your safety.""There's no harm if I try. After all, sooner or later this will happen. I did it with clear calculations," Deric replied with a calm expression."But, this is too dangerous for you." Thomas shook his head. "I can't let you be in danger.""I've already decided." Deric continued his wheelchair to the edge of the lake. The man turned around when Thomas was beside him."Please don't do this. It's for your safety," Thomas said, "we can do it another way."Deric took his cell phone from his pants pocket and handed it to Thomas. "You know how to contact me later. You just need to prepare everything according to my directions. I've sent you all the details of my plan.""Mr. Jacob," Thomas muttered."Alright, I'll wait for you here," Deric said.Thomas let out a long breath, walking towards Deric's residence to store the man's cell phone i

"Of course," Diego replied from the other end of the line, "what should I prepare to greet you?""You don't need to do anything," Caraline said coldly, "I'm on my way to your office right now.""Alright, I'll wait for you here."Caraline disconnected the call. Her cell phone moved away from her earlobe. "I'll make sure you rot in prison, Diego. You'll have to account for your actions there."Fifteen minutes later, Caraline was in Diego's office. She didn't care about the stares of the employees who looked at her in surprise. When she arrived upstairs, she was greeted by several guards and staff."Anthony, come with me into the room," Caraline said."Okay." Anthony nodded.Caraline entered the room as an employee opened the door for her. Diego stood looking out the window at the cityscape."What bring you to my place at this time, Caraline?" Diego asked as he approached. The man offered her a warm smile.Caraline sat on the sofa as Diego plopped down on the front seat. "I just wanted t

"Deric," Caraline said with a look of disbelief.Diego burst out laughing when he saw the shock on Caraline's face. "So the dog you keep mentioning is this deformed man?""What the fuck do you want?" snapped Caraline, "he's never done anything wrong to you! Let him go!""He took you away from me and he insulted my dignity because you chose him over me!" snarled Diego."You're a monster!" screamed Caraline with her hands clenched tightly. Her face was bright red with a hardened jaw. "You are a monster!"Anthony immediately contacted security at home, but all calls went unanswered."It's useless." Diego pressed the remote. In an instant, the feed changed to the scene at Caraline's residence where bodyguards and maids were lying on the ground and floor. Several plumes of smoke rose into the air."What on earth are you doing?" asked Caraline with her eyes fixed on the screen. She could see how all of her subordinates were unconscious, including Thomas who was asleep on the porch of Deric'

"What did you just say, damn it?" screamed Caraline with her hands already clenched into fists. "How could you do this to everyone who doesn't even have anything against you?"Diego laughed. "I don't care about other people. As long as I get what I want, that's enough for me. I could easily ruin someone's life or even kill them if I wanted to. You know, I even killed my father when I was a teenager. My asshole father always beat me up when I made the slightest mistake. I killed him by crashing the car I was driving with my father into a ravine. I survived and he burned to death in the car."Caraline closed her eyes for a moment, trying to suppress her anger. "The rumors that you were behind some of these crimes are true."Diego laughed. "Yes, I was behind all of them. But I got away with it because I could shut up witnesses and even police officers with my money. And I can do the same with this case if you refuse my offer.""You think I'm going to put up with this?""You've got to be

"Are you crazy?" screeched Caraline.Diego chuckled, pushing Caraline's body back to make it easier for him to sit on the couch. "Who do you think is crazier, me or you, Caraline? You married a fucking cripple and chose to ignore me instead.""You're the crazy one, damn man!" screamed Caraline, "You're the crazy one! You'd do anything dirty just so you could get what you want!"Diego laughed again. "You have yourself to blame, Caraline. If you had chosen me in the first place, this would never have happened to you. You would have gotten the sweetest treatment from me, and you would have been the luckiest woman to have conquered me.""You are a monster!" Caraline stomped on the floor.Diego got up from the couch, dialing someone. "Do it now.""What are you doing?" asked Caraline with piercing eyes."You're in for another surprise from me, you lowly woman." Diego walked to the window, and opened the glass, letting the breeze rush into the room. When he looked at the row of articles on h

On the way home, Caraline was mostly silent with her gaze fixed on the side of the road. Now and then she checked her cell phone, which was full of news about her relationship with Diego. Her hatred for the disgusting man grew even more when she saw Diego's sickening smile.Caraline quickly wiped away the tears, trying to keep her composure. She suddenly remembered Deric saying that he didn't like Diego. At first, Caraline thought it was just Deric's jealousy. However, in reality, it was a warning.Caraline closed her eyes, wiping the tears from her face. At the funeral, she cried her heart out without fear of anyone seeing. She didn't expect this to happen to her.Caraline put her cell phone in her bag. Her gaze fell on the bottle Deric had given her. She scrutinized it before finally gulping down the contents. The sweetness of the drink suddenly disappeared and was replaced with bitterness."Are you okay?" asked Anthony.Caraline nodded, putting the bottle back into the bag. The wom

Caraline arrived at the venue half an hour later. Her arrival was immediately greeted by a barrage of questions and camera flashes from journalists. She only smiled slightly when she saw the media enthusiastically approaching her. Her bodyguards deftly blocked the road. However, until she entered the building, she said nothing. Caraline took a deep breath, took off her glasses, and put them in her bag. Her hand accidentally caught sight of Deric's empty water bottle. She thought about throwing it away but decided against it when she realized that she still needed him around. It didn't matter if it was replaced with a water bottle. "Follow me," one of the female employees said. Caraline nodded, entering the elevator. A few minutes later, she again followed the female employee until she stopped in front of a door. "Mr. Diego is in the room." The female employee chose to excuse herself. "Ms. Caraline, is it going to be okay?" asked Anthony with a worried look on his face. "I... will
