If Nash had truly forced the Brooks family to sell her, then without David’s intervention, Caroline would have sought revenge, making Nash pay a heavy price.
But in reality. Nash’s actions left Caroline in a difficult position, neither able to take revenge nor to forgive him.
“Oh. Nash… Caroline whispered to herself: “How much better it would have been if you hadn’t slept with me. You bought me from the Brooks family, saved me that was a kindness, and that’s why I defended your in front of David. But you had me… how can I help you now? This feels like hatred. I hate you. The consequences of good and evil, we all reap what we sow
She stared vacantly at a distant point, her eyes unfocused.
It wasn’t until she heard the sound of a car engine downstairs that she seemed to snap back to reality. rushing suddenly toward the balcony.
She saw a black Maybach driving toward the front gate The driver’s side window was rolled down, and a long, bony hand rested on the door.
The fingers moved casually, appearing so natural and effortless.
Caroline could clearly imagine David sitting in the driver’s seat, one hand on the steering wheel, driving with his usual lazy, aristocratic demeanor.
At the same time, she could guess that his eyes must be filled with murderous intent.
He was gong after Nash.
Soon, Nash would find out that she was pregnant, from that very night.
What will Nash do? Will he protect me and the child no matter the cost? Or, will he submit to David’s authority? Or, even worse…. will he deny it outright?
In that moment, a myriad of possible outcomes flashed through Caroline’s mind.
Things were unfolding in the very direction she feared the most.
Maybe this was just how life was. Things rarely turned out the way one wanted them to.
Caroline watched as the Maybach disappeared into the distance, out of her sight,
Then, she blinked and suddenly had a thought. She began frantically searching for her phone. “My phone… Where is my phone? Nash gave me a number, one I could call him on anytime… Yes, he saved it that time we met at the children’s store.
Once she found her phone, Caroline quickly located the number.
She hesitated for a moment, then dialed.
Beep, beep, beep…
The phone rang for what felt like an eternity, but no one answered.

She couldn’t reach him at such a crucial moment.

She wanted to warn him, to tell him that David was coming for him, and he needed to come up with at plan.
No matter what, if things escalated, it would only end badly for Caroline and the child.
It was even possible that the world would turn against her child, not wanting her to go through with the pregnancy!
She dialed again, and again, but still no answer.
Caroline gritted her teeth. She had no choice but to go find Nash herself!
She couldn’t stay in the Ellison residence and do nothing.
Caroline hurried downstairs.
“Mrs. Ellison,” the butler noticed her. “Are you going out
Ineed to leave.”
“Sorry, but Mr. Ellison has instructed that you cannot step outside the Ellison residence.”
Caroline froze mid–step. “What?”
The butler repeated, “This is Mr. Ellison’s order. I am only following his instructions.”
The living room fell silent.
After a long moment, Caroline simply nodded, without a word, and turned to go back upstairs.
With David’s orders, even if she sprouted wings, she wouldn’t be able to leave the Ellison residence.
What should I do now?
She felt utterly powerless.
Caroline returned to the master bedroom, her gaze lingering on the open door leading to the balcony.
