Chapter 72 Do You Have Anything To Drink Daniella roared, her voice filled with anger. âDo you honestly think Evan would believe you?â
âSure, he might not believe me, butâ¦â
Caroline couldnât help but notice the swell of Daniellaâs belly as she spoke. âIf I were to tell him about your affair with another man while youâre with him, do you think heâd suspect that the baby isnât his?â
âBullshit!â
âOh, it seems like your memory is failing you. Have you forgotten about Nic, whom you slept with?
âCaroline teased.
Daniellaâs face paled. âYouâre full of bullshit, Caroline!â
Carolineâs smile grew wider âWhy so nervous? Are you ling quilty?
In a fit of anger, Daniella slammed her hand on the table and pointed at Caroline. âDo you really think Evan would believe you based on that? Do you honestly believe you can jeopardize our relationship so easily? Are you blind to how differently he treats me compared to you?â
Daniella stormed toward the door, fearing that Caroline might lose control and strike her once. more Just before slamming the door shut, she delivered one final statement. âDonât humiliate yourself, please!â
Caroline turned away, her gaze fixated on her reddened palm. The slap she had given Daniella couldnât erase the deepâseated resentment she felt toward her.
After taking a shower, Caroline laid down on her bed, hoping for some peace. However, her tranquility was shortâlived as the sound of her front door being slammed echoed through her home.
Annoyed, she wondered why people kept intruding tonight of all nights.
As she opened the door, she was surprised to find two men standing outside her house, seemingly appearing out of thin air. Alex, holding a heavily intoxicated Evan, wore an awkward smile. T apologize.
He had a bit too much to drink.â
Without waiting for her response, Alex gently pushed Evan inside and entered her home.
Caroline was at a loss. Daniella had just left, and now Evan had arrived? Did they think her place.
was some sort of gathering spot?
After settling Evan on the couch, Alex turned to Caroline, catching his breath. âDo you have anything to drink?â
+15 BONUS Reluctantly, she fetched a bottle of water from the kitchen and handed it to him. âYou shouldnât have brought him here, Mr. Price.â
Only after drinking half a bottle of water did Alex offer an explanation. âI didnât want to send him all the way to the suburbs in the middle of the night. He insisted, and there was nothing else I could do.â
âI need to get rid of him,â Caroline declared firmly.
A frown creased Alexâs brow. âDo you have any idea why he drank so much? Despite the current circumstances that youâre not together anymore, he treated you well in the past, didnât he? You canât be so cruel to toss him out right now! Itâs negative 10 degree Celsius out there!â
Caroline met his gaze coldly. âI traded my body for his kindness, didnât I, Mr. Price? Donât make things difficult for me.â
She was determined not to let Evan stay, no matter what.
She had made up her mind to sever all ties. She couldnât afford to be vulnerable again.
Alex was left speechless. He placed the bottle down and stared at Evan, who was now stirring on the couch. Caroline thought he had come to his senses and was about to take Evan away, but she never expected what happened next.
In a sudden burst of action, Alex darted toward the door, his voice echoing through the room,â
Caroline, if you allow him to freeze out there, youâll face the consequences of the law!â
The door slammed shut, leaving Caroline staring at it, trembling with disbelief.
How could anyone be so shameless?!
She stood frozen for a moment before adjusting the airâconditioning and retreating to her room.
Just as she turned off the lights, her door swung open.
Furious, she found Evan standing tall in the doorway, appearing completely sober.
âItâs a shame you didnât pursue acting with your extraordinary acting skills!â she spat out, seething with anger.
She was pissed.
The man stood with a grim expression, the light casting an intimidating shadow on his face. Youâre truly heartless for not even giving me a blanket,â he stated coldly.
She scoffed. âI only have one blanket. If thatâs not acceptable to you, you can go back to Villa Rosa!â
He entered the room with a cold demeanor, shutting the door behind him before making his way to the bed. He removed the blanket and lay down.
Immediately, she sat up and switched on the bedside lamp, her guard firmly in place. âCan you at least let me keep my dignity?!â
Evan frowned. âAre you worried about upsetting Doctor Wilson or Neil?â
Her response eluded her for a moment.
He sure was full of himself! He had repeatedly humiliated her, and the more he behaved that way. the more she desired to defy him!
Mocking, she retorted, âSince you already know, then stop intruding into my life!â
A menacing glint flashed in his eyes as he reached out and grabbed her arm, forcing himself on top of her He grabbed her chin and said with his cold eyes âCaroline! How many men do you want to mess around with before finally giving up?!â !
Suppressing her resentment, she shot back, âWhat does my personal life have to do with you? Canât you just go be with Daniella? Why must you behave like a madman here?â
Before she could finish, he forcefully bit down on her lips, sending a wave of pain through her. Anger overwhelmed her rationality.
In a moment of reflex, she slapped him across the cheek. The sound reverberated through the room.
She was stunned by her own actions.
He seethed with rage, gritting his teeth. âWow, Caroline!â
With that, he pressed himself onto her, violently tearing at her pajamas and forcibly entered her.
