Wayne's face was so close to me, which made me blush.
He laughed, "Blushed? So easily? Are you Caroline Brown for real?"
I sat up straight and pushed him, "Mr. Wayne, you don't have to entertain me with your joke. I'm just nobody. Your entertainment is too much for me."
Wayne stared at me, and after a long time, he sat back and said, "It's just a forewarning. Now, people all know you are mine. What awaits you is a tougher and tougher road."
"Then what about me?" I asked eagerly, "My revenge on Leopard. Remember?"
"Henna Wood is all I want. If I defeat her, Leopard will be gone as well," he said casually.
Henna Wood was the name of Mrs. Fox.
I looked at his handsome profile and couldn't help asking, "What exactly is the history between you two?"
There were so many legends about the Fox family, but there was not much news about Wayne's mother.
Vincent called Wayne a bastard. Since Wayne was the pillar of the Fox family, they must have admitted him. So where did the B-word come from?
The more I got involved, the more I found their family complicated.
However, that was not my concern. The Fox family had nothing to do with me. Revenge was all I wanted.
When I arrived home, William was still waiting for me.
It was two o'clock in the morning. I felt distressed when I saw the dark circles on his face. "Will, I said don't wait for me. I am busy at work. And sometimes, I can't leave work at fixed time."
William looked at me and said with bitterness, "It's all my fault that you have to work late."
"Don't be silly. We are family. Don't say such things again, or I'll be mad at you," I faked my anger.
"Carol, you've acting weird recently. Are you in a relationship now?" William tried to change the subject when he saw me being mad.
My face immediately turned red, "What are you talking about?"
"You seem a little different. And, who dropped you off just now?" he asked.
I was in a panic. William saw us when Wayne walked me home. We had to be cautious.
"Stop thinking! I'll tell you if I'm in love! Now, go to your bed," I pushed him back to his room.
When I came back to my room after a bath and was ready for bed, I saw Wayne's jacket on the nightstand. I thought about giving it back, but a Fox probably wouldn't take it.
I went to the shop with William. Generous decoration paid by Wayne was way much better than the old one.
William's face was all surprise. He said, "Carol, your friend is a big spender. How much do we owe him?"
It was also my question. Obviously, Wayne wouldn't let me repay him. Since I took risk to be with him, the decoration money wasn't really quite big money.
William was weak and couldn't use his arms. It took a lot of effort to clean the shop. Luckily, it was our shop, and we were full of energy.
The decoration was done, and the cleaning was done. Looking at the flower shop, there was so much happiness in my heart. That would be the new future of William and me.
Suddenly, some people broke into the shop. I turned around, and it was a group of men in black, just like last time.
Were they sent by Mrs. Fox?
"What do you want?" William stood watchfully in front of me.
"Will, they came to see me. Don't worry... Oh..." They took me away before I could finish my words.
"Carol! Where are you taking her?" William yelled with all his strength behind.
"Will, it's okay," I yelled at him as they bundled me into the car.
I felt a little afraid. Those men didn't work for Mrs. Fox. I could tell it by the way they took me away.
Mrs. Fox didn't like Wayne, but she still had to show respect to him. Those people were rude. It was quite clear that they didn't care about Wayne.
So who was it? Doris Green? That was the name that popped into my head.
When I thought about it, I felt a pain in my arm. I looked down and saw someone injecting something into my arm.
"What are you doing! What is it?" I was frightened and angry.
However, they just ignored my yelling, suppressed my struggling body, and injected an entire syringe of unknown liquid into my body.
I was filled with despair. If it were drugs, my life would be over.
Not long after, I began to feel hot. My mouth was dry, and there was a burning desire in my body. My mind began to wander.
I worked in Paradise Lost, and I knew what that it. They really got me that time.
Who would it be? Whose bed would it be?
Would Wayne come to save one more time?
My vision blurred, and I could hardly see things. I didn't know where I was. They just dragged me into a room.
I forced my eyes open. It was a hotel room. I felt so hot that I rolled on the big bed, trying to relieve the heat.
I couldn't hear a sound in my head. After some time, a burning body approached mine.
