Farewell To My Endless Love

Caroline's POV:

I woke up the next morning and asked Elena to go to the groundbreaking ceremony first to supervise things.

I put on makeup, looked at the dress, and remembered what had happened the previous day.

I patted myself in the back of my head, regretting impulsively mentioning that I would try and give Simon a chance.

It was pretty obvious that he took it seriously.

Just when I was wondering how to clear up the misunderstanding, my phone rang.

I picked it up and saw that it was a call from Simon. My heart was shaking, and it took me a few seconds to compose myself and answer it.

"Caroline, are you ready? I'm coming to pick you up, okay?" Simon's expectant voice came through the phone.

"Well..." Biting my lip, I suggested, "How about we meet at the venue?"

The thought of riding in the same car with him made me uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll see you later, then."

Simon's voice sounded muffled.

I heaved a sigh of relief after I hung up.

I then quickly got changed and drove to the groundbreaking ceremony.

But the moment I set out, I heard my phone ring again.

Looking at the unknown number, I frowned and put on my Bluetooth earphone before I answered it.

"Hello?"

A woman's mechanical voice came from the other end. "Caroline, I want to see you at the warehouse beside the toll road in half an hour."

Shocked, I said in a cold voice, "You have the wrong number."

Just when I was about to end the call, I heard some kids' voices, calling "Mommy" on the other end.

I could instantly recognize that it was the twins.

I slammed the breaks and tightened my grip on the steering wheel. "Who are you?"

"If you're late, then you will be facing serious consequences."

Saying that, the woman hung up.

Images of James' kidnapping from a few years ago flashed through my mind.

And I instantly felt a lump in my throat and suffocated.

I would never put my kids at risk again.

The moment I stepped on the gas, I called Alice.

However, she did not pick up.

Flustered, I called Charles, but his phone was off.

Time passed, and I could not dare to delay for even a moment.

Taking a deep breath, I sped up.

Twenty minutes later, I arrived at the location sent by the woman.

It was a very rusty-looking warehouse, and the moment I pushed open the door, I saw that it was almost pitch black inside with only a dim light from a lamp.

As soon as I entered, I felt someone tying up my hands from behind.

"Let go of me!" I screamed and struggled, but they pushed me to the floor ruthlessly.

Groaning in pain, I looked up and saw several burly-looking men in front of me.

"Wow! What a beauty! She's going to be worth it!" One of the men reached out and pinched my cheek, making me tremble.

Another man stepped forward and looked at me lewdly. "Don't talk nonsense. Let's just get it over with. Who is going first?" "You go first," the first man suggested.

"Do you know who I am? Who hired you? And where are my kids?" I asked, pretending to be calm as I cautiously moved back.

"I don't care who you are. I am just going to fuck you, so everything else doesn't matter to me."

Saying that, the man began to tear off my clothes.

"Don't touch me, asshole!" Panicking, I kicked him.

The man staggered a bit with a fierce look in his eyes and hissed, "Save your breath, you bitch! I am going to fuck the brains out of you!"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

I tried to struggle using every bit of the strength in my body, but the ropes were tied too tightly and I could not move at all.

My heart sank.

Forcing myself to calm down, I

looked up and said in a confident tone, "Kean give you money right

now How does one hundred million sound like?"

Hearing that, the man stopped advancing, and I seized the

opportunity to continue, "As long as you let go of me and my kids, can

wire you the money immediately. My

dad is Edward Wilson."

I noticed their expressions change the moment they heard my father's name.

"You'd better not be lying, or I will kill you!" the man threatened.

He then walked behind me, and untied the rope. Suddenly, the door was kicked open.

"Who said you can let her go?" Hearing the familiar voice, I couldn't help gritting my teeth.

When I saw the woman, I clenched my fists angrily. "It's you again."

Susan was standing before me with several men, looking complacent. "Yes. Are you surprised, dear Miss Wilson?"

I had really underestimated Susan.

Snorting, I tried to calm down. "Where are my kids?"

"They are safe for now, but what happens to them later depends on you."

I frowned and said, "Go ahead."

"It's really simple, actually. All you need to do is to hand over the entire east bank bject to Adam, and they will be freed."

Saying that, Susan raised her chin, holding a recorder in her hand.

I chuckled. "Keep dreaming! I would never do that.

She might want the east bank project, but you guys just want

money right? As long as you reme

go, Ican give you a hundred million, right now."

After hesitating for a second, the men moved to my side, raised their guns and pointed them at Susan.

"What a bunch of bastards!" Susan roared.

I crossed my arms over my chest with a cold smile as I turned to a man beside me and asked, "Where is she hiding my kids?"

All of a sudden, a loud bang came to my ears.

Covering my ears, I squatted down to take cover, and was horrified to see a man, covered in blood, fall in front of me.

I could hear loud footsteps, and the place was soon reeking of blood.

Suppressing the feeling of disgust in my heart, I grabbed the gun from the dead man's hand and moved away, trembling.

Charles' POV:

Even after waiting for a long time at the ceremony, I could not see Caroline.

"We've been waiting for a long time. If Caroline doesn't show up, then I'll represent the Wilson Group and announce the east bank project as a

racecourse."

I heard Adam and the other shareholders talking in the distance.

Glancing at my watch, I frowned.

Caroline was not the kind to be late for such an important occasion.

'What happened?'

I walked to Adam and said, "Even if Caroline can't make it, I am still here, so the ceremony will not be affected."

"Mr. Moore..." There was a look of embarrassment in his eyes.

Interrupting him, I asked in a low voice, "Do you have any other opinions?"

Hearing that, he lowered his head and clenched his fists. "No, sir."

I was just about to call Caroline when I saw that my phone was dead.

I was inexplicably flustered.

And the moment I turned it on, I heard it ring.

Something had happened to Caroline!
