Back at the Nexus Hotel Caroline had just woken up from sleep and began to stretch her body a little. Though she was still feeling dizzy, she was also hungry. Ever since she was pregnant, she had been eating not just for herself but for two. Now she was feeling like devouring a whole bowl of food, but who knows, she might end up throwing up again. Being pregnant wasn't an easy thing. She had always admired pregnant women, wishing that one day she would get to carry her own child too, but now she realized that the women she had looked up to had their own challenges to face, and now she was going through the same thing. But, never for once had she regretted it. The smile she saw on August's face and how he accepted the child so easily gave her the courage to want to be a mother. She had sworn to protect this child with everything she had, regardless of the circumstances. “Where is August?” She uttered subconsciously, when Hazel came in from the door holding some packages of food

Though it could be easily guessed from their resemblance and the kind of connection both of them felt for each other, they wanted validation, to confirm it, and it seems it was now presented before them. Both Caroline and Hazel looked at each other, tears overflowing down their faces. “Mom?” Caroline couldn't help but utter. “My daughter?” Hazel replied. “I am so sorry. I thought you died. I was shown your body that day, and ever since, I have lost myself. I couldn't think straight or even take the whole thing. It was so overwhelming that I was almost running mad.” She added. “I thought you abandoned me. I grew up with the Winston family. Even though I was not treated fairly, I felt that with time they would adjust, only for me to find out that they weren't actually my parents. I felt heartbroken, lost, and useless.” Caroline replied, her tears kept pouring down even more. “That Elena must have replaced you with a dead baby to fool everyone.” Maddie suddenly chirped in. “She loo

“Lose an arm? Who are you to think you can make me lose one? Look around you. I have so many guards that are ready to make your life to miserable and perhaps turn you into a dead dog as long as I say so!” The manager said with a grin as he belittled August, while in the back. several guards were standing with electric batons in their hands.Do these men even know when to stop? He had just finished dealing with the Charles family and then Nyx and his so-called men; now he would be forced to deal with these losers from the hotel his wife had lodged in.Well, it wasn’t his fault that these people kept seeking trouble with him at every turn. Since they wanted a piece of him, he didn’t have any reason to tell them no.“I won’t repeat myself, apologize to her. Maddie is my friend. You can’t just come in and call her some hurtful names the way you see fit. Just who do you think you are?” His patience was running out. One could see bulging muscles around his neck, and if he was to unleash his

“Given off just like that?” August creased his brows as it didn’t make any sense to him. Even if he was told that the place was sold off, it still wouldn't make sense. Why did it have to happen right after he came back from the Brown family villa? On his way, he saw Noah and Jax eavesdropping on him, and though he should have been bothered about it, he didn’t think they would have the balls to make any moves on him. Also, he wasn’t the type to just go on a killing spree for no reason. Though he was supposed to settle scores with them for bringing Nyx and Vincent to him, with what was going on now, he had to settle scores with them.This was definitely a planned work to either get rid of him or use him to get rid of someone. Regardless, he was going to find out what it was, and by then, it was going to end up terrible for the mastermind of all this.He looked at the manager before looking away. He had no use for him, as he had been taught a lesson already. Next time, he would know ho

“Mom, who have you infuriated again this time? What the heck is going on?” Liam asked with a deep frown carved on his face. They were yet to settle on the matter they were on, and yet someone was here to look for her?“Shut up. I don’t know who they are. I thought Quan would come looking for me? Who are these people, and what are the guards doing outside?” Elena snapped before she craned her head, hoping to see what was going on outside, but it wasn’t possible. Smack!Pak!Whack!Soon, multiple sounds echoed from outside, like someone was being beaten into a pulp and perhaps mopped on the floor. The place became silent right after, making Elena and Liam wonder if the issues had even been taken care of by the guards already, not until a loud bang came upon the door.“Open up!” An angry roar came from the other side as though it was going to tear apart the place.Elena and Liam panicked even more, looking like they were going to open the floor and bury themselves in it for their safet
