Chapter 381


    381 Madam Caroline’s past (2)


    “Hey, don’t be so mean,” Hao said and tapped Vance on the head.


    “Stay out of this,” Vance red at him.


    “Brother Hao, can you please excuse us for a moment?” Caroline pleaded with her eyes.


    Hao looked confused but nodded. Hepatted Caroline on the head and warned, “Don’t go anywhere, if


    you’re done,e look for me in ss. I won’t be able to exin to your parents if anything happened


    to you”


    “Mn, I won’t go anywhere, I promise,” she raised a pinky finger.


    Hao still didn’t feel alright. He went to Vance and pulled him up by the cor, “I won’t warn you again, if


    anything like what happened before repeats itself, I won’t forgive you.”


    Vance pped his hand off, “What would happen? She’s your friend, so is she mine. Our families are


    discussing our engagement, so what can I do to her?” He rolled his eyes.


    Vance and Hao are best friends like brothers but the only time they quarrel is when it has something to


    do with Caroline.


    Hao left the two under the tree, trusting that Caroline would be fine. After he left, Vance turned his back


    to Caroline with his hands folded on his chest.


    Caroline walked around him and stood in his front like a drenched little kitten. “Brother Vance, 1- are


    you still angry?”


    “Should I not?” He raised a brow.


    “I- I’m sorry.”


    “Will that fix anything? Caroline, what are you scared of? That I won’t marry you after that or what?”


    “No, no, I didn’t say that, I’m just afraid that… That…..”


    “I’ll take care of everything, I promise… It’s my eighteenth birthday today and I’ll be graduating


    highschool next month, but you’ll still be here for two more years. It’s only right that you bid me farewell


    with it?”


    Caroline didn’t want to give in, yet Vance pressured and emotionally ckmailed her until she


    sumbed.


    The two left school and went to a hotel. Sixteen years Caroline and Eighteen years Vance were soon


    seen under the duvet as they made love passionately.


    Caroline cried a few times from the pain butter, her sweet cries for more could be heard.


    A few dayster, videos of two students from Jace highschhol entering a hotel room and ending up


    having sex was posted online. Although the faces were blurred, Caroline knew it was her and Vance.

    She went to him but Vance med the hotel for it and told her not to worry.


    However, a few dayster, the unblurred video that had only Caroline’s face showing was sent to


    Caroline’s family, and her engagement with Vance was called off.


    Due to the incident, Caroline’s father died from a heart attack and her mother also died a few months


    later when she found out her daughter was pregnant.


    Even though the incident was fishy, the girl refused to me Vance for anything because Vance met


    up


    with her a few times, exining that it wasn’t his doing and med his enemies. Caroline believed him


    and they continued seeing each other behind everyone’s back.


    One day, Caroline caught Vance with another girl behind the school, kissing. Feeling hurt, she barged


    in on them and started fighting the girl.


    Vance didn’t try to stop the fight and left the two to kill themselves. The other girl was eighteen. She


    almost killed Caroline, but God intervened and Hao ran into them.


    He separated the fight and took the injured Caroline to the hospital, that was when he realized she was


    pregnant.


    Caroline didn’t want to say who was responsible untilher mother forced her to speak up. Her sick


    mother couldn’t take it and died.


    Hao saw how everything unfolded. After the funeral that Vance and his family didn’t attend, Hao started


    suspecting a dirty game, so for that, he stopped being friends with Vance until one afternoon after their


    final year exam.


    Hao was walking down the corridor when he heard Vance telling other guys about the girls he had slept


    with. Hao would have ignored him if he didn’t talk about Caroline.


    So he confronted Vance but the bastard denied the pregnancy at first, iming that Caroline slept with


    another man at a hotel.


    Hao had seen the video trending for weeks and didn’t know it was Caroline’s. Refusing to believe it, he


    called an expert to return the video to its original form and that was how he saw the two people in the


    video.


    He approached Vance with the evidence, this time, Vance didn’t deny it.


    “Hahaha… What can you do about it? Her parents are dead, she has no power to fight me. What, do


    you want to break our family’s old ties for a girl? I already ate her, you should do the same. To be


    honest, she was sweet and submissive in bed. I can’t take the image of her pleading for more, away


    from my mind. The way she begged me to go harder…


    “The way she called my name and told me ‘I love you so much!‘ Oh Lord, I can’t forget those words, too


    bad she’s pregnant now, I don’t want to be a father yet, so let her get rid of it, who knows, we might get


    back together after. But she definitely cannot be my wife, she can only be a mistress-”


    “Vance!!” Hao was so angry that he punched Vance in the face.


    Vance burst outughing. “Hahaha… Fool in love. Look at you, you’ve loved her all these years, yet


    she doesn’t like you one bit. She knows I don’t like her, yet she’s willing to die for me, fool…”


    Hao threw a punch at him again but Vance deted it and the two got into a fierce fight.


    The students in the school had no idea why the two best friends were fighting. Some thought they


    were sparing but the amount of injuries on them were more than just sparing.


    They fought from the corridor to the top of the stairs. Just as Vance pushed Hao off the stairs, Hao


    instinctively grabbed Vance’s hand with one hand and held the railing with the other.


    He pulled Vance who lost his momentum and fell off the stairs. Before he got to the end of the stairs, he


    had hit his head countless times, so even when he was immediately rushed to the hospital, he couldn’t


    make it.


    When Caroline heard the news, she concluded that Hao killed her boyfriend out of jealousy and that


    hatred had been in her heart and grown with her. 2


    Hao felt guilty and wanted to make amends but he didn’t know how until his mother brought him


    Caroline as a bride.


    He loved her, plus the guilt he felt towards Vance, he allowed her to do everything she wanted without


    reprimanding her, including when she threw little Rex away.


    Madam Caroline snapped back to reality.


    “Your father was a monster! A bad man, he killed the love of my life because he was jealous, then told


    his mother to give me to him in marriage. He deserved what he got! I’m just sad that I couldn’t kill him


    myself!.. Hahahahah…!”
