Capture Your Heart

Chapter 189 I Want To Prove Myself 1

Karin finally decides to go to see William, she thinks that even if William doesn't prove anything, it is still necessary to make things clear.

When she arrives at his office, William gets up and closes the door, pointing to the sofa, "Sit down."

"No need."

She looks at him with an expressionless expression, "I will come to meet you just because I want to tell you not to call me again, I don't want to talk about that night!"

William is stunned and grabs her arm, "Come with me."

"For what?"

"As I said before, I want to prove to you that I am not lying to you."

"There's no need for that, just don't show up in front of me again and I'll be grateful to you!"

She struggles to get away from his hand and is about to leave. William steps forward to stop her, "Are you going to treat me as an asshole for the rest of my life?"

"No need, I don't think we will meet each other for the rest of our lives."

William tugs on her arm again, "Whatever you think, I have to prove myself."

He yanks her out of the office and Karin struggles angrily, "Let go of me! Let go of me!"

Several colleagues walks forward, all gawking at them with curiosity. She feels so embarrassed and lowers her voice down, "Let go of me, I can walk on my own!"

William releases his hand and the two of them walk out of the company and get into his car, she asks grinding her teeth in anger, "What do you want?"

"You will know when we get there."

William drives the car to a familiar place and stops. Karin looks out of the window, and her face suddenly turns grave, he has actually brought her back to the hotel.

She pushes to open the car door and wants to slap William heavily, but he reaches out to stop her, "Aren't you curious about what really happened that night?"

Her hand is trembling in the air, she tightens her lips and follows him to walk into the hotel.

William finds the lobby manager and asks him to let them see the CCTV footage of that night. After a careful inquiry, the lobby manager regrettably tells them, "It's impossible for us to install cameras in the guests rooms, so I can't help you two."

"I know, but I mean your hotel must have surveillance cameras installed in the lobby or in the corridor, could you show us how we both arrived at the hotel and got into the room at that night?"

"Okay."

The lobby manager first checks out the date when they checked in, then finds out the video of the same time period, soon, he gets the right video. Karin holds her breath tightly and stares at the screen of the display. She sees a strange man wearing a mask and sunglasses, dragging her and William into the hotel room one after another, from the video, she and William were indeed unconscious, and the man obviously did it on purpose, he disguised in such a way that it is impossible to see his face. And after he put the two of them into the hotel room, he quietly went out of the hotel.

"That's all."

The lobby manager points to the display.

"Thank you. We have got what we need."

William shakes hands with him, tugs Karin's sleeve and leaves the hotel with her.

Standing outside the hotel, he says with a long sigh, "See? I am also unconscious at that night, we are obviously set up by someone."

Karin’s face turns stiff and she looks up at the sky blankly and walks away without saying a word.

William follows behind her and yells at her, "Let's find a place to talk about it!"

"There's nothing we should talk about."

"Now! We have to talk!"

He drags her into his car and then drives to the beach. The endless sea looks like a roaring bowl of water, with breaking waves crashing into the rocks again and again. The sound of the waves sometimes is angry, is gentle, is soft, and is sad.

"After watching the video, do you still refuse to forgive me?"

William asks with chagrin as he stands behind Karin.

She doesn't say anything, with her eyes staring listlessly at the distant sea. When she was a child, her grandmother would take her to the river bank and say to her, "Karin, remember don't be a carefree bird in the sky when you reincarnate in the next life. Although the sky is endless, it is not as tolerate as the sea on the ground, which can hold the water of all rivers from everywhere. If you can choose, just be the sea in your next life that can enfold everything."

At this moment, she doesn't want to hate anyone, she just wants to turn herself into a sea and let everything sink to the bottom.

"It's reasonable that you don't forgive me, I expect today from the very beginning."

William steps forward and stands side by side with her, smiling with a despondent expression, "Do you know why we met the first time?"

Karin glances at him, "I ran into you on my blind date."

"That wasn’t a coincidence, I planned our meeting on purpose."

Her heart tightens, "What do you mean?" Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

"That day when you were on a blind date, I approached you on purpose with one goal in mind, to make you fall in love with me."

What? Karin laughs coldly and looks straight at William, "What exactly are you talking about?"

"I'm telling you that I lied to you at the very beginning."

"Why do you want me to fall in love with you?"

"Because only by making you fall in love with me can Troy love someone else."

"Love who? Or who sent you to me?"

"Mia."

Hearing this name, it feels like being hit by a thunderstorm. Karin's brain goes wild, and as she stares blankly at the man in front of her, she feels she is such a pathetic person.

"How much money did she pay you?"

William smiles sarcastically, "You really see me as the trash, we've known each other for so long, even if I've disguised myself, you should be clear that I'm not the kind of person who does things for money."

"Then for what?"

Karin's expression looks even more sarcastic than his.

"Seven years ago, when I first came here to study, I met Mia at a ball, and was attracted by her cold but elegant charm at that time, and fell in love with her uncontrollably. And later I learned that her name is Mia, and she and I were classmates in different classes but in the same college, so I started to run after her fanatically for a few years, and never wanted to give up. I was so persistent in chasing her, but she never gave a look on me, because her heart already was given to another man that she first met at the ball. Since then, he was the only man in her eyes. So seven years ago, I had actually met Troy, only at that time, he didn’t notice me."

"Because of her, I stayed in Zurich as she wished. We had been getting along like friends. I don't seem like the kind of man who would do crazy things, but when she cried and begged me to help her, I couldn’t refuse and did the things that I didn’t want to do for the first time... "

Even if William doesn't confess, Karin knows clearly what kind of favor Mia was begging him to do - their "unintentional" encounter.

"She said that Troy had fallen in love with another woman and she really had no choice but to ask me to steal that woman from him, at that time she was so drunk and devastated. I knew clearly it was very childish and I may not succeed, yet I agreed because I didn’t want to see her so unhappy, and I was also very curious about what kind of person she was that could make Troy abandon Mia, the woman that I had been chasing for years but failed."

"So then you started getting involved in my life? Presenting yourself as my friend to win my trust?"

Karin questioned him in a cold but angry tone.

"Yes."

"Then don't you know that you have failed in your plan? Aside from winning my trust, do you really think you have achieved your goal and make me fall in love with you?"
