"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

"Talking about the wedding, have you got everything ready, Diego?" asked Caraline as she approached. "I want ours to be the most extravagant wedding this country has ever seen, even for the son of its president. And I want Henry Hulbert to be there, too. Can you do that?" "You're disgusting." Diego pushed Caraline away, giving her a condescending look. That rotten woman is acting very convincingly, he thought. "I learned from the experts." Caraline laughed. Diego pulled his cell phone from his pants pocket, took a call from someone, and closed it again. "The show is about to start. Be good or I'll get rid of that damn handicapped man." "Looks like I have a lot to learn from you, Diego," Caraline said with a dismissive look, "you've been acting perfectly all this time." "Stop babbling!" Diego pulled Caraline closer to him. "After this show is over, you're going to see that damn deformed man for the last time in your life." Caraline rolled her eyes, turning to the other side. Her h

Caraline immediately averted her eyes in any direction when Deric looked at her. Her heart felt like it was being sliced by a knife when she saw the man's condition. Deric's condition was really bad. He was in pain just by glancing at him. Diego and Wilson were truly horrible monsters. Both of them had the heart to do all this to Deric, who was a disabled man."Are you okay?" repeated Deric while trying to change his position to sitting. His gaze sharpened when he saw Diego behind Caraline. "Is something bothering you?"Caraline remained silent for some time. She looked up, trying not to let the tears fall again. It was a painful feeling to see someone she loved suffer. There was a part of her heart that was cracking and breaking right now.Diego, seeing Caraline's frozen state, quickly grabbed the woman's hand and whispered in an angry tone, "Get this done quickly or I'm going to beat the crap out of that flawed man right in front of your eyes."Caraline withdrew her hand somewhat fo
