“Caroline, we already felt terrible about being forced to sell you to Mr. Nash. Do you really think we’d do something like this too? Was this arranged by Mr. Nash
She kept shifting all the blame onto Nash.
“It must be,” Samantha answered her own question. “Maybe he only wanted to have his fun with you and never intended to keep you around. So he drugged you took what he wanted, and left it at that. After all, if Julia ever found out, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself, Caroline, so you were completely in the dark about all of this? You had no idea? Looks like we were all played by Mr. Nash. He gave us money and forced us to agree. Then he drugged you so you wouldn’t know the truth about that night… My poor Caroline!”
Samantha lunged forward, trying to pull Caroline into a tearful embrace.
Caroline shoved her away. “Enough with the fake act. You make me sick.”
Right at that moment, Elizabeth suddenly gasped. “Wait! Mom, dad, Mr. Ellison–if that’s the case, then the baby Caroline is carrying it’s Nash-
She covered her mouth, looking hesitant, like she wanted to say it but didn’t dare to.
“It’s Nash’s bastard.”
David finished her sentence, rising slowly to his feet.
He stepped toward Caroline, towering over her, forcing her to look up at him.
“Caroline, you’re carrying Nash’s child,” he said. “Do you understand now? Hmm?”
I..
David raised a hand, his fingertip brushing lightly beneath her eyes. “I believe you truly didn’t know whose child it was before. But now, you do.”
With that one sentence, he left her no escape.
It didn’t matter whether she knew before or not. What mattered was that now, it was crystal clear.
David continued, “I also believe you didn’t know Nash was the one who bought you. But that fated to be apart line that was your real feeling, wasn’t it?”
His hand trailed down, stopping over her heart. Then, with force, he pressed against it.
The impact was so strong that Caroline stumbled backward, her knees hitting the edge of the couch. She
was about to fall when-
David’s long arm shot out, catching her just in time.
“What’s the rush?” His lips curled as he said in a low voice, “Stand up straight.”
From the side, Samantha added, “Mr. Ellison, if anyone is to blame, it’s me. We failed to protect Caroline. If only we were stronger, we wouldn’t have had to bow to Mr. Nash’s threats.”

“That’s right, that’s right, Matthew chimed in. “Caroline truly had no idea about any of this beforehand. We kept it from her because we didn’t want to upset her. But after she got into the wedding car… well, we had no idea what happened after that.”
The Brooks family wiped their hands clean of any responsibility.
They pushed every ounce of blame onto Nash, painting themselves as helpless victims who had no choice
but to submit.
There were playing the role of the good guys.
The whole thing sent chills down Caroline’s spine. Did they have any limits? Any conscience at all?
David’s hand rested firmly on Caroline’s waist, giving her something to hold onto.
“You heard all that?” he asked. “Anything else you want to say?”
Caroline opened her mouth, but it was like something had lodged in her throat.
She… had no way to defend herself.
“Fated to be apart–were those your words?” That was the only thing David cared about. “Hmm?”
There was still a place for Nash in her heart. Her body belonged to Nash. And now, her heart too?
How could David possibly accept that?
