But she was condem that the perpetrators would reveal themselves before too long.
In the meantime, Brian Luther was realled back to the Luthers residence. He looked at his father sitting down in the living area, waiting for Caroline’s return and the sight of it made him feh sick.
“Is there even the need to be so serious, old man!!
“Father, you should be resting-
Troy Lanther was not amused at all. “Call Ralph, I wanna know if he’s finished with his task. It’s taking too long.”
There was no masking the disgust for Brian at all
The corner of Brian’s lips throbbed with annoyance at th
the boundless faith that his father has for Caroline.
Ralph was his best fixer and he has complete confidence in Ralph that he would finish the task assigned to him.
The door wung open.
Troy got up at once. “Caro he called warmly with concern. “You’re back! You must be hungry, no! Come to the dining room! I’ve asked Zac to keep some of your favorite dishes.

Whatever it was, it seemed to Brian that his father has nothing but compliments and praises for this daughter–in–law of his
“Mr. Luth–Father, you should be in bed by now,” gasped Caroline when she remembered that she has now officially become the daughter–in–law of this family and the warmth the received left her flustered.
Troy responded with an excited, wordless assent, saying. “This is your first day here in this house, my dear. I’ll wait no matter what”
Caroline joined Troy for supper after that,

As soon as the meal was over, Troy shooed Caroline off to bed.
She went up to Brian’s room and recognized it instantly from its minimalistic decor.
She could barely hold off the pirters from thinking that she would be spending the rest of her life in the same room as Brian Luther.

crept unto her cheeks and her eyes avoided his gaze. “How about you take the couch and I’ll take the bed”
After all, they barely knew each other and what happened that night was only just an accident.
Every single detail fitted through her mind as vividly as it was yesterday, her passionate actions and his carnivorous behavior.
A sense of dread swept through her like a cold.
Brian rubbed his temple. “Sleep here. I’ll use the guestroom”

Brian rubbed his forehead. Exasperated by his father’s shenanigans, he swiveled around and said to the antious woman. Til take the couch”
Camline really did not know what to say.
He did not fail to note the blank look on her faer. “Belax, I’ll not touch you at all,” he promised
But Caroline was rather doubtful. Her lips just couldn’t resist throbbing as she wondered, “As if he really is as honest as he says”
Brian got up and went to the closet only to find female clothing of various shapes and types besides his. Clearly, Troy that thought about everything

Next, he went to the bathroom.
Caroline sat on the couch as she took in the noises of water splashing in the bathroom, the scarlet patch on her cheeks growing as rosy as an apple.
Too many things have happened in the past two days and she could not help remembering what took place that night.
Questions never stopped bugging her all the time. Amongst them included “Why was he there?” and “Was he really drugged that day?” and “Why did he look so angry that night.
Was his fiery temperament because of the drug
If that was true, then she should have not been too hard on him.
But who could have done something like that to him!
Her gaze
turned into a steely glare at the notion of someone wanting to cause harm to Brian Luther
As his wife, she could never tolerate any ill–will towards her husband.
She grabbed her phone and sent a message. Find out who Brian Luther’s enemies are
Kaleb leaped from his bed in surprise when he received the message.
With eyes as wide as saucers, he cried, “What on earth? Why the hell does Karpo wants to dig up info

He had never known her to be the most communicative type, but whenever she did reach out to him, it was always for something big.
He tapped on the “Call” button but all he got was the emotionless robotic voice saying, “The number you have dialed is currently out of service.”

Brian changed into a set of casual clothing as he stepped out of the bathroom, wiping his drenched hair with his towel. He strode to the cour beside her and said, “Go. Wash yourself up

She had never worn anything like that before and seeing one up close and in the flesh was making her feel extremely embarrassed.
“Lisa really has ourdone herself this time!”
She stared at the nighties, grimacing at the wanty fabric of the clothing articles with a dismal look on her face
“How am I supposed to wear something like this??”
In the end, she ghimly reached for a shirt that belongs to Brian and headed for the bathroom.
When she was finished, she came out of the bathrooms to food Brian looking rather sullen.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, not knowing why was he standing in front of the cabinet,
There’s no blanket. Brian muttered with undisguised exasperation.

Brian turned around to face her and that was when he saw how she was wearing his shirt. He stared at her.
