Farewell To My Endless Love

Caroline's POV:

As I hid in the corner, I held onto the gun with trembling hands and felt nervous.

All I wanted to do at the moment was to escape.

But the second I walked forward, the lights inside the warehouse suddenly went out.

Darkness enveloped the warehouse and I could feel my heart beating like a snare drum in my chest.

Suddenly, I heard a gunshot from behind me.

It was followed by the sound of a body falling to the ground.

Startled, I gripped my gun as my hands trembled uncontrollably.

Just then, the door of the warehouse was opened.

A dazzling light appeared before my eyes and I instinctively squinted.

Once my eyes had adapted to the brightness, I saw Susan lying on the ground.

And the kidnappers were all gone.

I suppressed my fear and ran towards Susan.

She lay on the ground with eyes widened in shock.

The bullet had hit her heart, and blood soaked her clothes. It looked so terrifying!

I checked her pulse and leaned closer to her nose to check if she was still breathing. But alas, she was dead.

Even though Susan was a hateful, ungrateful woman, I never thought she'd die like this.

But even so, I didn't pity her.

She had it coming.

I sprang to my feet and hurriedly looked for the twins.

I searched almost every nook and cranny of the warehouse, but I still couldn't find them.

Panic overcame me, so I tried to call Charles again.

It took a while, but thank God he answered after a few tries.

"Charles, Susan kidnapped the twins. I can't find them! Please... help me! Look for them, okay?"

"Where are you right now?" Charles asked in a slightly nervous voice. Upon hearing the sound of his voice, somehow I no longer felt that nervous.

As I sobbed, I told him the address of the abandoned warehouse.

After the phone call, I tried to stand up, but my knees went weak and I lost consciousness.

By the time I woke up again, I found myself inside the hospital.

Someone was holding me tightly.

My faced was pressed against a warm, muscular chest.

I looked up and met Charles' deep set eyes.

"Caroline, you're awake! How are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable?" I could sense concern in his eyes.

Feeling awkward, I struggled out of his embrace. "Charles, have you found the twins? Are they hurt?" I asked worriedly.

"The twins were home the whole time. As a matter of fact, they were never kidnapped. You've been tricked," Charles replied.

I breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, my God! That's so good to hear."

If my twins had gotten hurt, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life!

"What about Susan?" I asked hesitantly.

Suddenly, the sound of the gunshot and Susan's bloody body appeared in my mind. My heart skipped a beat.

Back when I heard those gunshots, all I could think about were the frightened faces of my children.

I was so scared that I would never be able to see them or hear them call me "mommy" ever again. "Susan is dead. She died from a gunshot wound. The bullet in her body matched the rounds in the gun you were holding," Charles replied sternly.

"I didn't kill her! Those men did!" I explained, shaking my head.

"Caroline, take it easy. I trust you," Charles responded in a comforting voice.

The mere site of his caring gaze alleviated my restlessness.

I nodded, trying to calm myself down.

"Mr. Moore, you may leave now. Caroline is my girlfriend. It's my responsibility to take care of

her."

It was only then did I notice that Simon was also here.

"Girlfriend? You're really together?" Charles sounded shocked.

When I looked into his inquisitive eyes, I turned my face away from him, feeling uneasy.

"Of course, we are. Mr. Moore, I'd prefer it if you behave yourself and stop badgering my Caroline," Simon warned.

This time, Charles didn't utter a word. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.

"Charles, I can no longer let my

children remain at your side. They've gotten attacked before, and this time, they almost got kidnapped. this kind of thing keeps on

happening, I'll be scared even ingle

day of my life! I want their ful custody. My lawyer will contact you later." I managed to say those words through gritted teeth. Content

Charles' POV:

She spoke in such a resolute tone, and it made my heart ache to hear her say such words to me.

All that bonded us together was the fact that we had kids.

But now, she wanted to sever our last remaining connection, leaving me no shred of hope.

Because she looked so vulnerable right now, I couldn't bring myself to argue with her.

Feeling dispirited, I left the ward with my face downcast.

The second I left the premises of the hospital, I called Richard.

"Richard, assign someone to keep an eye on the east bank project. Don't let Adam's men cause any more trouble," I commanded.

I was certain that Adam had something to do with Caroline's kidnapping.

Upon my return to the Moore mansion, I saw Raina right away.

She had her face buried in her hands and she was sobbing. She appeared to be grieving.

I pulled her up from the sofa and grunted, "Were you involved in Susan's plan to kidnap Caroline?"

With a tear-covered face, Raina shook her head incessantly. "I had nothing to do with that. I didn't even know about it!"Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

I scoffed at her. "Is that so?"

Raina trembled with fear.

She then clutched her chest and coughed violently.

While sobbing, she explained, "She may be my mother, but I've had limited contact with her lately. She's dead now and Caroline was the one who killed her!"

"Charles, Raina is already sad enough as it is. Why are you so aggressive towards her?" My mother seemed displeased with me.

"Don't you realize how many things have happened ever since Raina moved in with us? Just tell her to go! She's not welcome here!" Grandma remarked.

"Raina saved the twins' lives, and she's currently homeless. Is it so bad to let her stay here for a couple more days?" my mother argued.

My grandmother was so angry that she started arguing with my mother.

However, my mother refused to give in. She insisted on letting Raina stay here.

Perhaps because she was so infuriated by my mother, Grandma suddenly covered her head and winced in pain.

"Grandma, you should go back to your room and get some rest. Come on, I'll take you there." I offered my arm to my grandmother.

She then looked at me with worried eyes.

To alleviate her worries, I patted the back of her hand. "You don't have to worry, Grandma. I'll take care of everything."

She didn't leave until she heard my promise.

After that brief interaction, I shot Raina a cold glance. "I'm going to ask you one last time. Were you involved in the kidnapping?"

"I wasn't!" Raina shook her head again, desperate to make me believe her.

"That better be true. If I find out

otherwise, I'm going to make you et

regret for the rest of your ow

Of your things and get the hell out

of my house!" I commanded.

"Charles, do you have to be so cruel to me?" Raina's eyes widened in disbelief.

The sound of her crying voice was so fucking annoying. "I've already told you that there's no chance that I'll ever like you!"

"You're lying! I'm sure that at one point, you've had feelings for me." Raina chuckled bitterly to herself while shaking her head.

"The only woman I've ever loved and will love for the rest of my life is Caroline," I answered.

"She doesn't even love you! She has been with someone else before, and she's dating another man already. Charles, stop deceiving yourself!" Raina growled.

"That's my personal affair and it's got nothing to do with you."

After casting her an indifferent glance, I left the Moore mansion.
