Bogus Billionaire By Shining Riviera

Caroline’s heart thumped in her chest. It felt like a lifebuoy had been thrown to her in the open sea.

She looked up and met Kirk’s gaze. The amusement in his eyes had vanished, replaced by deep emotion. For a second, even Caroline believed it.

She quickly looked at Dan and Sarah White, her mother.

They were so shocked that they both collapsed onto the couch. After a beat, Dan reacted first. He looked at Caroline and asked, “Carrie, what is this?”

Before she could speak, Kirk shielded her behind him. Her mind went blank at the feeling of protection he gave her.

Dan was furious, but he kept his composure. “Carrie!”

Caroline gritted her teeth and said, “What he’s saying is true. I married him because I didn’t want to marry—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Sarah rushed toward her and squeezed her shoulders. “What happened, Carrie? Didn’t you always like Eddy? Now that he’s finally agreeing to marry you, why are you—” Then, she looked at Kirk warily and said in a low voice, “Tell me, have you been threatened?”

Sensing that her mother had misunderstood Kirk, Caroline hurriedly said, “No one forced me to do anything. I just don’t want to marry a man who doesn’t love me!”

She was exhausted. She did not want to carry on anymore.
