Caraline decided to leave early. Thankfully, Helen was able to outwit the media so she left the office without a hitch. Diego had gone home after lunch had ended and thankfully he hadn't said anything strange to the media.Caraline let out a long breath as the car pulled into the driveway. She massaged her head gently, walking towards the house. Unintentionally, her eyes caught sight of Deric driving along the lakeside in the direction of his usual workout. What caught her attention, even more, was that Deric was contacting someone."That's none of my business. Why would I know Deric's business anyway?" Caraline rolled her eyes, but her body remained in place until Deric disappeared."Well, it's because I was curious and wanted to tell him about my activities tomorrow." Caraline decided to follow Deric. She walked with wide strides. However, she did not find him at his usual workout spot."Where did Deric go?" asked Caraline as she scanned the surroundings. The woman moved closer to t

"Did you have dinner?" asked Deric as he turned the wheelchair slightly to face Caraline.Caraline's hands slowly lowered. Deric's smile made her whole body tense again. However, when she realized it was a mistake, her hands returned to their original place. "Don't change the subject!""I don't think it's good to talk under these circumstances. How about you come down so we can talk?""Don't ever order me around! Who do you think you are in this house? Stop fantasizing!""Alright, then I'll come to your room," Deric said, "how about it?""I'll kick you if you take one step closer to my room!""If I'm dead, I'll happily bang you all the time." Deric laughed.Even though you're still alive in your damn wheelchair, you're already running around in my thoughts and feelings, Caraline thought."Alright, good night." Deric turned the wheelchair around, driving towards the edge of the lake."Hey, what are you doing?" asked Caraline as she moved to the side of the balcony.Deric stopped the wh

Caraline hurried to the elevator after taking a quick look at Diego's appearance. She massaged her head gently at the man's actions, which she thought were unnecessary. The tall man followed her into the elevator with a smile on his face. The narrow space was now only occupied by the two of them."What do you say we take a vacation around the coast?" Diego asked, "I have a great place to go.""I'm just afraid that our tastes and judgments differ," Caraline replied without turning around, "what's good for you doesn't mean it's good for me, right?""Then what places do you like?" Diego turned to Caraline."Should I answer your question?" Caraline tucked her hair behind her ear, glancing at Diego. "I thought you were going to surprise me.""Okay." Diego straightened his suit jacket for a moment. "Don't blame me if you're surprised when you see it.""That happens if I want to go with you." Caraline smiled slightly, exiting the elevator as soon as the doors opened.Diego nodded briefly wit

Heavy rain poured down on Heaventown this afternoon. Drops of water were trapped on the window pane. Deric and Helen were at a cafe having lunch. Several people were seen running outside the building to avoid the rain, followed by vehicles pulling over to the side of the road.The cafe was rather quiet. There were only a few tables occupied. Some employees were seen cleaning up some dirty tables and delivering orders.Deric observed the water droplets on the side glass. His fingers slowly followed the falling raindrops which then coalesced into larger droplets. His gaze seemed to be locked on those objects even though two glasses of hot chocolate and two slices of bread were now served on the table."You won't get your fill just by looking at me, Helen," Deric said as he turned to the woman in front of him.Helen suddenly tensed up. Although the cold air came with the rain, her face felt hot. The bespectacled woman quickly turned her gaze to the other side. "I-I... didn't do it.""Eat

Caraline quickly grabbed the bag on the dressing table. She left the room in a hurry. The annoyance was still clearly painted on her beautiful face. During her time under the shower, she couldn't stop sneering at Deric. However, she did not dare to wish him anything bad. It was strange, every time she wished for something bad to happen to him, she found herself the victim.Caraline passed through a rather long hallway. She was immediately greeted by the wind and cold air as her long legs stepped onto the balcony. The crashing waves could be heard from her current position. The view of the sea and its surroundings was truly a feast for the eyes."Do you like it here?" asked Diego, who appeared from behind Caraline."I hope you can judge for yourself," Caraline replied without looking at him. She moved towards the balcony railing."What happened to your arm?" Diego asked once he was next to Caraline. He gently stroked the small red line-shaped wound. "Are you okay?""I've never been bet
