Chapter 76 Caroline
When Caroline woke up, she was having bloodshot eyes. Her mind was still shut down. After a while, she suddenly remembered what happened yesterday.
With a "bang", she quickly sat up.
Then, she looked around but that man was no longer there.
While letting out a sigh of relief, she felt a dull pain in her body. She only realized that she had fallen asleep without wearing anything last night. She couldn't help laughing at herself for how careless she was. How could she able to fall asleep beside that man like that?
Caroline raised her palm and slapped herself hard twice.
She could do that with anyone but not Bentley!
She suddenly remembered that night when she was locked in the toilet of the cell and she fell asleep. She felt safer doing that than falling asleep next to Bentley defenselessly.
She was blaming herself, "How could I let that happen? How could I fall asleep peacefully next to that man?"
"That's Bentley!"
The sound of the slap was particularly clear. At that moment, the slap she made on her own was as hard as how much she was disappointed in herself.
Caroline sat blankly on the bed. Her hair was messed up by her two slaps. No one could understand how regretted she felt. In the next second, she slowly raised her head and put on her
clothes quietly.
Some of the buttons on her clothes were torn by that man.
After getting out of bed, she didn't leave the room directly. She walked to the bathroom and saw a battered woman in front of the large and bright mirror.
Caroline raised her hand and turned on the faucet. She brought a handful of clean water, tidied up her appearance carefully, and looked at herself in the mirror. Suddenly, she grabbed the mouthwash cup on the washstand, aimed at the mirror in front of her, and smashed it hard.
Then, she stopped abruptly.
The mouthwash cup was only a few centimeters away from the mirror. She could smash it into pieces with her eyes closed.
However, the woman in front of the mirror was holding tightly onto the mouthwash cup with her hand trembled hand.
The veins on the back of her hand were visible. She was holding the mouthwash cup with her palm. After a long time, she raised the hand with the mouthwash cup and put it down powerlessly. Then, she pounded the marble-topped washstand more than a dozen times, as if she didn't feel any pain.
There was a grabbing sound, and Caroline felt a gust of wind passed by. In the next second, her arm was pulled hard by someone and her body was also pulled away. She heard someone roaring with anger, "How dare you hurt yourself?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Caroline was dragged away from the inside.
"Let me go."
But that person didn't seem to hear what she had said at all. He walked quickly and dragged her along.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Why should she be treated like that by him?
How could he do whatever he wants to her?
She blamed herself, "How could I sleep peacefully for a night by his side!"
"I hate it!"
"I hate him!"
"I hate Winnie!"
"I hate the Jamesons too!
"I hate myself the most!"
With a "bang", Caroline was thrown into the couch in the living room. "How dare you hurt yourself?" The man looked at Caroline with a cold expression, "Who gives you that right?"
At that moment, Caroline was only blaming herself in her mind. She couldn't forgive herself for sleeping peacefully next to that man. She had not been so angry after she was released from prison. She shouted in her rattling voice, "This is my body! It's mine! Do you hear me? It's mine, Bentley!"
Her red eyes were clearly showing how many accusations she had against the man in front of her.
"This is my body! I'm out of prison. I'm free now. Mr. Shawn, do you understand what it means?" She was gasping for breath and staring at him with her red eyes. Then, she yelled at him as loud as she could with her rough voice, "I'm out of prison! I'm free!"
She was showing a very determined expression. She reiterated, "I'm out of prison! I'm free!"
She wanted to tell him that how she treated herself had nothing to do with him. She was released from prison. She was free and it had nothing to do with him.
The man squinted his eyes and his eyes flickered, "Free?" The corners of his lips curled slightly, "Free? Tell me. What kind of freedom do you have by taking someone's life?"
Suddenly, all the redness on Caroline's face because of anger faded and she looked pale.
He reminded her of the freedom she got which had cost someone's life. She thought to herself, "Delores, I won't be able to pay you back, right? I won't be able to get freedom in this life, right? I don't even get to choose my life or death, right?"
"Delores, thank you for saving me."
"Delores, I hate you. I hate you for dying for me. I hate you for giving me a reason to live."
"Delores, I'm sorry that I'm just a prisoner with no power, no identity, no family, and no background. I don't even have the chance to fulfill my promise to you and repay the life I owe you!"
"Delores, I'm so useless."
Countless thoughts crossed her mind. Suddenly, the woman who fell on the couch slowly raised her head. She looked up at the man who was on the top, "Let me go."
Bentley's heart stopped beating while he looked down at the woman on the couch. The way he was looking at Caroline was so strange till she was having goosebumps.
Suddenly, there was a smile on his face but his expression was cold, "Okay, wait until I die."
Caroline's lips turned pale and her eyes widened. She was full of puzzlement and disbelief.
"Bentley! Let's get it over with! Tell me! What do you want from me? I already have nothing left!" She couldn't help but wonder what else did that man want from her, and what else could he get from her? NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"I am nothing and I got nothing! Look at me, look at me!" She leaned on the couch and brought her face closer to his face. Her voice was hoarse and sharp, "Look carefully! Look at me! What else do I have? What else is interesting to you? Just tell me! As long as you name it, I will give you whatever you want!"
Then, she thought to herself, "Delores, I won't yield that easily. Do you see that?"
Bentley was amazed by Caroline's attitude at that moment. She was desperate and mad, just like the last struggle of a condemned prisoner. He was so amazed that he forgot to breathe.
She seemed to become the Caroline three years ago and yet she wasn't exactly the same.
She wasn't as pretty as she used to be. She didn't have the title of the Jamesons' daughter. But, he was shocked and amazed by her desperation and craziness. That was the beauty in her.
"Are you really going to give me everything?" He calmed down slowly and asked with his slightly trembled lips.
