Caraline was shocked when she realized that Deric's face was in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat at the sight of the man's pink lips. This raised the possibility that Deric was about to kiss her.Caraline tried to stay calm even though her chest felt like it was bursting with fireworks. Her face was suddenly flushed from the pressure this situation created. She had been waiting for this to happen, but was it possible that she and Deric were going to kiss?Caraline suddenly closed her eyes as she felt Deric move closer to her face. She willed herself to calm down in the face of the momentous event that was about to take place tonight. If Deric asked for more than just a kiss, she would not be reluctant to give him one. She would be cursing herself constantly if the sudden fainting spell happened again.Caraline waited with her heart on the verge of bursting. However, for several seconds, nothing happened."What are you doing?" asked Deric.Caraline suddenly opened her eyes. She s

Caraline woke up as a gust of wind hit her body. The rain was pouring down hard. Her body, which was not wrapped in a blanket, immediately shivered from the cold. It was half past six in the morning. The sky was still not fully lit.Caraline decided to go back to sleep after setting the alarm. She went to bed and fell asleep as soon as her body lay on the mattress. She woke up again when she heard some annoying music. It was still six in the morning.Caraline made her way to the balcony. The rain had completely stopped. The sky was still dark. There was a sparkle of dew trapped on the leaves. The cold air immediately greeted her body when she was outside."Do you want to exercise with me?" asked Deric who was already in the courtyard below. He was already prepared in sweatpants and a thin sleeveless T-shirt. The curves of his body and the muscles of his hands were visible."What have you done?" Caraline asked back sarcastically. The woman was happy to see Deric again, but on the other

Caraline was suddenly silent when she heard these words. However, she immediately moved faster than before. "Why would I meet with them just to learn about your life? If I wanted to know, I would have asked you directly long ago. Besides, I already know that your life is miserable and boring.""You're right," Deric said.Caraline closed her eyes after saying that sentence. She could hear the disappointment in Deric's tone. She seemed to feel a deep pain when she saw Deric's current condition, and it was all because of her stupidity and negligence in the past."No offense," Caraline corrected, "your life is not as miserable now as it was when I first met you. I promised to make your life better. I-I will try to fulfill all your wishes.""My life did get better after meeting you. I experienced many things that I never imagined before. I guess I don't mind being in this state.""The moment you give up, it can be said that half of your life is dead." Although there was a tone of disapprov

"Miss Caraline, I've contacted the nearest police department," the driver said without turning around, "They'll be here in a few minutes.""Do whatever it takes to get rid of those criminals," Caraline said with a tense face. She tried to call Helen back, but her cell phone fell out as her hand shook. "God, why do stupid things always happen during critical situations?"The criminals surrounding the car were beating the vehicle's body relentlessly. Several parts of the car were dented, including the window glass which appeared to be cracked. The car shook as it was kicked from various directions. When that happened, Caraline immediately hugged Deric tightly."Ah!" Caraline suddenly screamed as the rear windshield shattered. The woman clung to Deric even more. Her body trembled with fear and her eyes glazed over. The driver's side window was also broken a few seconds later."Get out!" one of the criminals shouted, pointing a sharp knife at the driver's forehead. His other colleagues im

The ticking of a clock accompanied the silence inside Caraline's hospital room. She had been unconscious for the past five hours. The sky was already tinged with gray, and the sun was ready to return to its resting place. In just a few minutes, the night would come.From the hallway, Helen arrived with Lucy and several bodyguards. Her face looked tense and angry at the same time. The guards were spread all over the hospital. After hearing the news from Caraline about the crime, Helen immediately rushed to the location after contacting the guards.Helen and Lucy entered the room, while the guards stopped outside. The two women looked at Caraline, who still showed no sign of regaining consciousness. There were no fatal injuries to the Mimiline Group CEO. The doctor said that Caraline only suffered severe shock after the incident."Lucy, you can go and rest now," said Helen, who was sitting next to Caraline's bed. She had bumped into Lucy by accident in the hotel lobby. Lucy said that sh
