You’re Shameless!
Maybe their relationship didn’t have to be this hostile, this full of sharp edges and conflict.

Maybe, in a different world, they could have found peace, lived out their lives without constantly being at
odds.
But reality?
She didn’t trust him. Not even a little.
This woman had no idea how much patience he had already shown her.
David had never given anyone this kind of exception-
No one had ever betrayed him, deceived him, and still been allowed to remain by his side.
Yet at that moment, a realization hit him–he had feelings for Caroline.
He loved her. That’s why he wanted her to have his child. That’s why he wanted to keep her by his side.
But before he could even process those thoughts, Caroline’s voice cut through his emotions like a dagger.
“What have I ever done to you to deserve this torment? I’ve already told you–I don’t want a single dime from you! I’ll leave with my child and disappear from your life forever! What else do you want? You refuse to let me go; you insist on making me suffer! Do you want to see me utterly alone, abandoned, and with nowhere to turn before you’re satisfied?”
Her words crushed whatever tenderness had begun to surface in his heart.
Before he could even acknowledge it, it had already been destroyed.
David grabbed her shoulders roughly and pulled her forward. “You don’t want my money? What, are you planning to leave, have the baby, and run straight into Nash’s arms? Let him take care of you? You’d rather be his hidden mistress than my wife? Caroline… you’re that shameless!”
Love, when spoken, often felt weak and fragile.
Yet, when it came to hatred, words became weapons–sharp as knives, striking deep, each one a fatal blow. With every exchange, they inflicted wounds on each other that would never fully fade.
Caroline trembled as she looked up at him, unable to speak.
“Drop your
fantasies.” David’s voice was ice–cold. “He was fully aware you were going to marry me, yet he still forced the Brooks family to hand you over to him and took you for himself… In my eyes, he’s already
à dead man!”
David’s revenge was already in motion.
“No!” Caroline’s eyes widened in panic. “Nash… he… he-
“What about him? David snapped. “You’re still trying to defend him?”
“You can’t just believe whatever the Brooks family tells you! They say Nash forced them, and you take their

too late.
She couldn’t afford to let emotions cloud her judgment
Nash’s fate depended on this conversation.
Finished
Caroline believed the truth was simple–the Brooks family had sold her willingly, motivated by greed, and Nash had only bought her to prevent someone else from getting their hands on her.
But when things spiraled out of control, the Brooks family had turned around and pinned the blame on
him.
Yes. Nash had done wrong. He had betrayed her. But his original intent had been to protect her. He had never forced the Brooks family–they were using him as a scapegoat.
think he’d
She couldn’t just stand by and let it happen. She couldn’t let Nash be destroyed because of their lies.
“Think about it, David,” she said firmly. “He didn’t hesitate to sever ties with me for Julia, treating me like a complete stranger, ignoring four years of history, and rushing into an engagement. His career is on the rise–this is a critical moment for him. Do you really think he’d risk everything for me? Do you deliberately push the Brooks family into a corner and make an enemy out of you? I was never that important to him! If he had really forced the Brooks family to give me to him, what do you think would happen once the truth got out? It wouldn’t just be you going after him–the Woods family wouldn’t stand by either. His entire future would be destroyed because of a single night with me. Do you truly think he would be that foolish?”
