Farewell To My Endless Love

Caroline's POV:

Each time I thought of Charles, my heart ached.

"No. It's impossible for us to get back together," I said, forcing a smile.

"Caroline, do you think you can actually forget about him and move on?" my father asked tentatively.

"I'm not sure," I replied with a bitter smile.

Every time I thought I was making progress in forgetting about Charles, he'd appear right in front of me.

He was still as gentle as ever.

He treated me like I was the most precious thing in the world.

My heart would race at the thought of him, and even though I hated to admit it, I would be hopeful that something could happen between us again.

If things went on like this, I might actually fall in love with him all over again.

My father sighed and asked, "I heard that something went wrong with the construction project on the east bank. How's it going so far?" "We've almost solved the problem, but the public opinion on the Internet is still not in our favor," I replied.

"You did great, Caroline. You deserve to be my daughter. Only you can solve a huge problem like that in such a short span of time." He made it no secret that he was impressed.

Feeling embarrassed, I remarked, "Actually... it's all due to Charles' contribution. While I was being kidnapped, he stabilized the situation and helpedtheWilsonGroup getthroughtheproblem." "It seems like he still cares about you a lot. Why don't we invite him to your birthday party?" my father bantered.

"That's not necessary," I responded.

"Oh, really?" he asked tentatively.

"Really!" I answered firmly while blushing.

"Fine, fine... If you don't want to invite him, don't." He nodded in agreement.

"Are you planning to hold a birthday party for me, Dad?" I asked.

"Actually, yeah. We're going to hold the party on a luxury cruise ship named Ocean," he responded with a smirk.

"Dad, we don't have to hold a grand party like that," I said, frowning and shaking my head.

"You're my only daughter, and I've been absent from your life for over two decades. It's only natural that I want to make it up to you," he answered.

"Dad, none of that is your fault. You've been a good father to me so far," I said, attempting to comfort him.

During my most desperate, trying moment, my father was the one who gave me the courage to live on.

"My greatest regret is not being able to witness you grow up to become the fine woman you are now," he said, letting out a deep sigh.

His words moved me, and I felt a lump in my throat.

"We still have plenty of time to be with each other, Dad," I cried.

He smiled at me; his eyes were full of gratitude.

"Caroline, on your birthday party, I will officially announce that you're my daughter in order to frustrate the shareholders, especially Adam. I want him to know his place."

"Though I'm not fully on board with the method, I must agree that it is necessary to warn them," I said, nodding in agreement.

After we finished eating dinner, I asked, "Dad, are you going back to the villa with me tonight?" "No, I don't want you and Olivia to stay in the same house. I'd rather not watch you at odds with each other," he replied, shaking his head.

"Then where are you going to stay?" I asked with a frown.

"I bought a house near the east bank. I'll be moving there in a few days. For the time being, I'll stay at a hotel," he answered.

"Be careful of Olivia, Dad. She's no angel," I remarked.

"I know her all too well, darling. I'm sure you can figure out why I chose her to be my lover." He smiled at me knowingly before getting into his car.

I didn't withdraw my gaze from his car until it was far away.

Olivia's POV:

Edward was so heartless.

Despite being with him for so many years, I still couldn't compare to his daughter, even though he had just found her back.

I suppressed my frustration and hailed a cab to a nearby bar.

I ordered a row of cocktails, drinking one after another.

Hours later, I began to feel drunk.

All of a sudden, I heard someone crying.

I turned around and was surprised to see who it was.

"Raina, why are you here?"

She used to be so popular. Everywhere she went, people would recognize her as the Hill family's daughter.

But now, she was down and out.

She appeared as though every ounce of life had escaped her.

I remembered the stuff about Raina's origin on the Internet and sighed.

Over the years, she had relied on the Hill family to obtain resources and praises.

I was actually surprised that she wasn't really Gary's daughter.

Raina bent over the bar counter, holding a bottle of liquor and crying bitterly.

"Who are you?" she asked impatiently.

I sat next to her and smiled. "Miss Hill, I'm Olivia Lopez, Edward Wilson's girlfriend."

"Oh, it's you. Are you gonna be

Caroline's stepmom? I must warn you; be careful of her. She's a bitch! That woman is a conniving,

calculating shrew! If she weren't such a scheming woman, then how could she become the Wilson

family's heiress?" Raina said through gritted teeth.

"I agree. God did bless her for some reason," I sneered.

"Caroline, you bitch! Why don't you just go to hell?!"

Raina slammed the bottle onto the bar counter; her eyes were filled with hatred.

Just as I was about to say something, two burly men came over.

They suddenly took Raina away without even saying anything.

"Who are you? Where are you taking me? Hey! Get your hands off me, you perverts!" Raina screamed while struggling to break free of their grasp.

AS

Meanwhile, I hurriedly left the bar, patting my chest to alleviate the lingering fear in my heart.

At this time, I received a message from Edward.

He and Caroline had finished their dinner and he was going back to the hotel.

I went to the address he sent me to meet him at once.

When I got in his car, Edward said to the driver, "Take us back to the hotel."

"Edward, why can't we just stay in the villa like we used to?" I complained, crossing my arms.

"I already gave that villa to my daughter. Stop complaining," Edward replied impatiently.

My heart sank at the sight of his stern expression.

Suddenly, his phone buzzed.

He picked it up and chuckled when he saw what was on the screen.

"What is it?" I asked in confusion.

"Raina Hill is spending her night with two gentlemen,"

Edward said as he handed the phone to me.

As I watched the video, my heart trembled.

In the video, Raina was being dragged to a dilapidated warehouse by two large men.

They were like insatiable beasts, wreaking havoc to Raina's body.

She was down on all fours, letting the men fuck her over and over.

Tears were rolling down her cheeks.

She seemed to be in pain and misery more than pleasure.

Seemingly dissatisfied with her reactions, the men spanked her ass and forced her to moan.

They even forced her to make all kinds of lewd postures and made her beg them to fuck her. Raina was now like a soulless puppet.

The sound of her moaning and the men's hoarse panting resonated throughout the warehouse. "Edward, were you the one who did this?"

"That, I did want her to understand the consequences of messing with my y he as though he was proud of it,

"he replied, S

w

I bit my lower lip to prevent myself from making a sound.

This was the first time I felt scared after being with Edward for so long.

A bitter smile appeared on my face, and my heart was overcame with sadness.

It turned out that I never really knew the man I was with.

At this time, I felt him caressing my hair.

"Olivia, do you think what I did was right?" he asked.

My hair stood on end and my heart sank to the bottom.
