Astaroth's Proposal

Carol rolled her eyes when she saw her pússy whipped cousin Maxon Ruscitti. It's been a year since she last saw him and that was on the day of his wedding with his lovely wife Adira, and he almost went bald that day because he didn't send her an invitation.

"What are you doing here?" Carol asked with raised eyebrows to her cousin Maxon who was now sitting on her visitors chair.

"Nothing, I just want to see my beautiful cousin," Maxon said with a wide grin on his lips causing Carol's eyes to narrow.

She knows her cousin very well. It will not just appear to her for no reason.

"Don't use that shit on me, Maxon. I know you very well, so spill the beans," Carol said while looking at the chart of her patient that she would operate on later.

Carol heard Maxon heave sigh causing her to look at him, and her brows automatically arched when she saw how pitiful her cousin is.

"What's with that heavy sigh?" Carol asked.

"Well, my sugar hates me now and I don't know what's the reason. I follow what she wants. When she says I smell bad even though I just took a bath, I will take a bath again. If she doesn't want to see me I covered my face with paper bag and I even buy an iron man mask because she wanted to see Tony Stark," Maxon said at length while wiping his eyes, even though his just pretending.

Carol just shook her head at the drama of her cousin Maxon. Why did he even bought the iron man mask when he can afford Tony Stark himself.

Carol rolled her eyes and said, "I warned you about it. But what did you do? You screamed like a dying buffalo."

"Hey! I'm not a dying buffalo!" Maxon exclaimed.

"Really? but you acted like one," Carol teased.

"I think it's a wrong move to be here," Maxon said dramatically, causing Carol to laugh loudly.

"Is that really what it's like to be married? You're so different from the Maxon I grew up with," Carol said with a small smile on her lips.

"Of course! I am still your handsome cousin. But I'm more handsome today because I married the most beautiful woman in the world," Maxon said, boastful.

Carol couldn't help but smile when she saw happiness in her cousin's eyes. Her cousin's blue eyes are twinkling because of glee and happiness. She's wondering if she'll be like this too in the near future.

"Geez, leave me alone. I am not your therapist so back off," Carol said and waved her right hand as a sign that she is dismissing her annoying cousin--Maxon.

"Don't be so harsh on me, Carol. I'm here because I need your suggestion," Maxon said while playing with Carol's stethoscope.

As Carol sees it, she quickly patted her cousin's hand and grabbed the stethoscope that she kept the most. Her father gave it to her that's why she treasured it very much. No one is allowed to touch it except her.

"Don't touch my things Maxon," Carol said in a serious voice.

Carol heard Maxon chuckles that's why her forehead furrowed.

"You're not calling me older brother anymore huh? You're really a big girl now Carol," Maxon teased while laughing.

Carol frowned because of what her cousin said, and once again turned her gaze to the chart she was holding. Her older cousin is really annoying and he keeps getting into her nerves.

"Just leave, will you? You're ruining my day," Carol said, and she looked up again when she heard her cousin's deafening laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Carol asks.

Her cousin Maxon stops on laughing and stares at her seriously and said, "Nothing. I just remembered something funny from our childhood,"

"Excuse me my dearest cousin, for your information-I'm still young. I'm just twenty-five. While you? You're old enough to be in jail for bullying me," Carol said while pointing at her cousin's face.

"What are you a child?" Maxon spoke in disbelief.

"Yes I am!" Carol exclaimed.

"Oh, I almost forgot. You're someone's baby..." Maxon said with a sly smile, causing Carol to throw a crumpled paper at him.

"Oh I see...you still haven't moved on," Maxon said while shaking his head.

"I've moved on! I'm not that crazy, not like you," Carol said and grinned.

Maxon stood up in disbelief and pointed at his doctor cousin. The tongue of the Ruscitti's is really sharp, it runs in the blood. But Carol's tongue is more sharper because she is the one and only woman in their clan. She's a spoiled brat.

"I'm going to report you to Auntie, you're bullying me!" Maxon said and started sobbing.

Carol just rolled her eyes in annoyance and left her office. She couldn't stay there anymore especially since Maxon was there. She can't tell what's going on inside her cousin's head. Maxon is very dangerous since they are children's and so as her older brother that is nowhere to be found.

Speaking of her older brother. It sent a huge gift even though there's no occasion. Her older brother named Wyath Charles is an engineer and a business tycoon who is in abroad right now.

Her brother is so busy to the point that she only sees him five times in a year. It's good that her older brother is still showing himself because if not, everything he's worked hard for might be lost because of their mother's wrath. And she also thinks that her older brother already has a wife-that's what her girl instinct said.

But nevertheless, her older brother is the best brother in the whole wide world because he's spoiling her so much and she loves it!

"Good morning Doctor," Her patient greeted her.

"Good morning too," Carol greeted back with a smile.

Smiling, Carol observed her patient who was about to undergo surgery later. And her patient's disease was similar to the disease of her cousin Maxon's wife and it's an ovarian cyst that is usually a common disease for women.

She has operated on many women with this kind of disease, and by the grace of God all of the operations were successful. She didn't doubt her talent of course but, she doubted herself. She's really weak. She hates blood but in irony, she became a well-known doctor.

Carol only wants a peaceful life in the lot near her cousin's villa, but the new owner of the land she wants is so stubborn. She still hasn't seen the new owner, but based on her cousin's description, they won't get along.

At the age of twenty-five, the name Wiatt Carol Ruscitti is already popular in the field of medicine, Not only in the Philippines, but also in other countries. Her operating room is always full, as well as her office. She doesn't have time for leisure and when she had it, she only got heartache because of her three days relationship with someone she just met inside of a coffee shop, through online dating apps.

Three days, just like a prepaid load their love story expires.

Maxon and her often mistaken as a lover and it's getting on her nerve. Her mother and father also wants grandchildren, and she's not ready for that. She's too young to be called mommy or mom, but if she meets a sensible man who can give all she wants...maybe something will change.

Carol entered the operating room seriously. Her patient is already there and she is the only one they're waiting. She hasn't had any back-breaking surgery yet, which is why she receives so many honors.

Carol is an excellent doctor and so as an excellent daughter. She has almost everything. A luxurious lifestyle, money, and a happy family, but even so, she feels that something is missing from her and besides, it's not her money that she's wasting-it's her parents. That's why she's working hard so that she can spend her own money in her own things.

Should she find a sugar daddy? She's beautiful, so for sure she won't be in trouble.

Carol is not that innocent but she doesn't have an experience. She only watch and read about those things, but she's not that curious to try it for herself.

Carol stares at the screen as she puts the laparoscope on her patients abdomen. By the use of laparoscope she can freely see ovaries and any cyst inside of her patient. She nodded her head when she finally saw her patients condition.

Carol didn't hesitate anymore and immediately performed the operation which took only two hours, and after that she left the operating room with a smile while sweating. Well, she can't help it. Even though she has been in this field for a long time, she still can't help but be nervous and feel pressured, especially since her patients life is at stake.

Even her parents didn't expect that she's going to be a doctor. They thought that she'll become a model because of the way she walks and dressed back then, She was also interested in dress making and make-up but even though it changed, she's now happy in her chosen profession.

"Boo!" A voice shouted making Caro frozen in shock. And eventually, her shock was replaced by disgust when she saw the reflection of her cousin Maxon in the mirror.

Looks liker her jerk cousin didn't go home.

"When I die because of you startling me, I will really kill you too." She said while clenching her jaw.

"How can you kill me if you're already dead?" Maxon asked, clueless.

"Ah just!" Carol shouted in frustration, and faced her cousin with a forced smile. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I'm not yet done talking to you so I waited. I freaking need your advice because I think I'm going to be insane," Maaxon said abruptly.

Carol just shook her head and said, "You've been really crazy for a long time now so you can leave. And if you want advice, get a counselor or a therapist. I'm a doctor Maxon, not a mental hospital institute personnel."

"Oh come on!" Maxon roared and stomped like a kid being deprive.

"Don't 'oh come on' me! Leave me alone! You're already married yet you're still disturbing me! For sure you have friends right? Why don't you visit them instead of me? I have a lot of things to do, I am a very busy person, unlike you. I need to work hard for my needs geez," Carol said sighing, as she pushed her cousin Maxon out of her office.

"Well, my friends are busy that's why I came to you," Maxon said as he left Carol's office.

Carol raised her eyebrows at her cousin and said, "So? You're going to bother me because they're busy? I'm busy too, you know? What if I ban you from my hospital?"

"It's not yet yours, Wiatt Carol. It's still under my name. You're not married yet remember? It's our deal," Maxon said while grinning mischievously.

Carol's face got crumpled because of what her cousin said. Their grandparents leave the hospital on her hands but since she was not old enough when they died, it was named after her cousin Maxon and her cunning cousin used that opportunity to make a deal with her and she was stupid enough to agree.

And the deal is that, she needs to be married first before she can fully claim the hospital.

"Can we just forget about the deal? I am old enough to handle the hospital all by myself. I already prove my worth so I guess I can handle it now without a problem," Carol replied seriously.

"Nah," Maxon said and shook his head. "The deal will remain as a deal Carol. Get married first and the hospital will be yours. I know that you're a cunning woman but, I am Maxon your cousin, that is cunning as you are."

Carol didn't even pay attention to what her cousin said and slammed the door of her office. She even heard Maxon complaining on the other side but she didn't care anymore because she was pissed by him.

Why did she even agree on that deal?

"Argh! It's frustrating!"

Carol is yawning as she opens her condo's door. She just got home from her twelve hours duty and tomorrow is her day-off, at last! And what she plans to do tomorrow is to sleep because the bottom of her eyes are getting dark by each day passed, but still, she's beautiful.

She doesn't raise her own chair eh? Being intelligent, handsome and beautiful is just in their blood. Being a Ruscitti is a damn blessing.

"At last. I can now rest," Carol said while taking off her lab coat.

She used on keeping it on since she became a full doctor, because she was happy while wearing it and she feel very confident but not today.

After she took off her lab coat, she also remove her plain black dress that she's wearing underneath, as well as her black stiletto heels. She knows that what she's wearing is inappropriate but, as long as she can do her job there's nothing wrong about it. Running with stilettos on is just a piece of cake for her.

Carol also removed her black lace brassiere, revealing her cup c breasts and her nipple that is now taut because of the cold air-conditioning. The only thing Carol is wearing right now is her black lace panties and her self-confidence. Well, she's alone in her condo so there's no problem even if she walks naked here.

Carol owned a two-story condo unit since she was in college. It's a gift from his older brother's friend that she didn't know but still, she's very thankful. Carol pays nothing for her condo unit. Everything for her is free such as electricity, water, groceries and anything else that has to do with the house. The only thing that her older brother's friend didn't pay is that her car's gasoline and coffee.

And Carol can kiss that friend of his brother because of too much happiness.

Even though her older brother loves spoiling her, it is still undeniable that her older brother is grumpy and he wanted her to obey his rules. Actually, her older brother didn't want her to be away from their parents sight but eventually, he agreed.

Carol headed to her kitchen with a smile. She happily opened her refrigerator and immediately took out her beloved banana. Her favorite fruit is banana and it's more delicious when it's cold. And every morning, weirdly, she sees a banana in front of her condo unit and who is she to refuse grace, right?

Carol is humming a happy song as she eats her banana. She sat at her island counter while thinking of other things she would do tomorrow. Should she shop? or travel? Oh god, she almost forgot. She needs to rest.

"Should I take a leave from work?" Carol asks to herself.

She hasn't been able to take leave for a long time. That's how much she loves her job. She stays more at the hospital than her condo, looks like she'll need to change her home address soon.

She loves her work so much.

And speaking of travel, she wants to go to the small island that she saw from Maxon's villa. It's from different island but she can see it clearly because it's big. That island seems beautiful and interesting. His cousin said there was someone living there and that triggers her curiosity even more. So she wanted to go there to see if her cousin was telling the truth or just a lie.

She can't trust her cousin's ​​word especially when it's Maxon.

She didn't hate him though.

After Carol finished eating her banana, she immediately went to her bathroom to do her evening daily routine. Even though she was tired, she couldn't fall asleep without taking a bath because of bacteria that came from the hospital.

Water helps her relax. She wanted to swim but she's too lazy to drive.

Carol quickly turned to the door of her bathroom when she felt someone looking at her, but she didn't see anyone there. It was closed and she didn't hear any rustling sound from outside the door either.

She couldn't count how many times this had happened to her. Whenever she takes a bath she feels like someone is watching her, as well as when she eats and sleeps. And every time she looked at the CCTV footage, she couldn't see anything. Maybe she was just being delirious from exhaustion.

Carol just ignored that and resumed her shower, and when she felt someone staring again, she speed up her action. She quickly got up and ran between her bathroom and bedroom. When she entered her room, she immediately locked it and immediately got dressed and lay down on her bed and covered herself with a blanket.

Carol gasped as the light in her room suddenly went out. She got stiff when she felt that the person inside of her room sat beside her bed. She held her breath, waiting for the next thing the person inside of her room would do next. Her lips were trembling with fear and she didn't know what to do. Will she scream or what?

"W-who are you?" Carol asked boldly but the fear was evident in her voice.

The person next to her didn't answer but it lowered the blanket that was blocking her face, and she exhaled strongly when she was greeted by a pair of tantalizing green eyes.

Carol exhales again and closed her eyes when she felt something hot touch her lips. It was soft and warm but possessive.

Carol also smelled the natural smell of the person in front of her. She can smell smoke and mint but it's not bold, but she was very worried about how it got into her room. She have two guards outside her condo unit. Those two guards are from his Brother Charles, that's why she thought she's safe, but what is this? someone has entered.

"W-who are you?" Carol asked again, but just like the first time, she didn't get an answer.

Carol suddenly got scared when she see a strange sparkle in the green eyes of the person in front of her, that she couldn't see the face. She quickly turned away from it while holding back her tears. She was very afraid and she badly wants this person to leave.

"P-please...go away," Carol plead while trembling.

Carol got stunned when she felt a huge hot hand stroking her hair. With each caress of it, she closes her eyes until she didn't realize that she had fallen asleep. But before she was completely consumed by the darkness, she heard a cold and deep voice that was very pleasant to hear and she knew it was coming from the stranger at her side.

"Goodnight, ómorfi..." said the voice.

Carol wakes up gasped for breath, because of her dream that she wasn't sure if it was really a dream. She quickly got up and left his condo unit. She immediately went to where her two guards were to ask them if they noticed any strangers lurking around her condo unit.

"Good morning, I would like to ask something," Carol said, and stopped in front of her two bodyguards who were both having coffee.

They quickly stood up and faced her. They even bowed slightly when they saw Carol.

"Good morning Miss," they greeted at the same time, and Carol only nodded as a response.

"What is your question, Miss?" Lando asked-one of Carol's bodyguards.

"Did you notice someone enter my room?" Carol asked.

The two guards were both stunned and looked at each other because of their female boss question. They kept guarding all night so they were sure no one had entered.

"Nothing Miss, we were on guard all night," answered Harem-the other guard.

Carol let out a deep sigh because of what her guards said. It looks like she's hallucinating because she's tired.

"Thank you, I'm sorry for the trouble," Carol said and turned away from them.

It looks like what happened last night was just a dream, and if it was a dream why does she still feel the warm and soft thing on her lips? so as the warm hand caressing her hair? Was it really just a dream? Or a real event? Whichever of those two is true, she doesn't care anymore because she will make sure it is the last.

If that mysterious green eyed man appears on her dreams again, she will move out. It's freaking her out and she's afraid about her safety. She doesn't want to repeat what happened when she was still in college. She got kidnapped and almost got raped but thank god, the cops came on time. And since that thing happened, her parents, siblings and the whole Ruscitti clan became more and more strict with her. They hired twenty bodyguards that stay's with her until she graduates in college. She even beat a mafia boss's daughter because of the amount of guards she had.

Ruscitti's are rich and powerful. They have enemies all over the world that's why they often receive death threats and they handle it very well especially the two oldest boys of Ruscitti, named Maxon and Charles. They're both silent while dealing with it-silent but deadly. The only difference is that, someone else does the dirty work for her cousin Maxon while her older brother Charles did all the work.

A loud ring brought back Carol's flying spirit. She quickly answered the call when she saw her older brother's name on it.

"Brother!" Carol exclaimed in glee.

It's been a long time since her older brother called..

"Hello there, my sweet little sister," Her older brother Charles said, who was on the other line.

"Why did you just call now? I'm sulking," Carol said and snort.

She heard her older brother chuckles that's why she started giggling too. She missed her older brother so much.

"I'm sorry 'lil, Big brother just got busy. How are you?"

Carol rolled her eyes because of what her older brother said. Nothing's new, he's always really busy.

"I'm fine and still beautiful," Carol said proudly, and she eventually gasped when her older brother who was on the other line started on laughed loudly.

Her brother really loves annoying her.

"Brother!" Carol shouted causing him to stop laughing.

"I'm sorry 'lil, can't help it. You're rising your own chair again," her older brother teased her.

"If I'm not beautiful, then how about you? We're siblings remember? Is that the reason why you called ? To tease me? You're a winner, brother," Carol said angrily.

"Sorry 'lil, I just missed pissing you. Anyways, I called to say hello to you. I heard that you are broken hearted because of your three days relationship,"

"It's not three days brother, it's four days. Four. Where did you get that news? Oh wait! don't bother telling me, I already know the person who told you," She said and laugh sarcasticalty.

"It's Maxon. Is there something wrong if I just want to confirm if that jerk is saying the truth? Well, I'll call you later 'lil, I still have a meeting. And I almost forgot, I have a surprise for you, go to our ancestral mansion if you want to see it okay? I love you 'lil," her older brother Charles said, and his last words puts a smile on her face.

"I will brother, I love you too," she said and hung up.

Her older brother is sweet to her, but he's the sweetest when it comes to their mother. Her older brother is a big ass mama's boy and he is not ashamed of it.

It's been a while since she last visited their ancestral mansion which is located behind her cousin Maxon's mansion. Their mansion is in the woods and why is it there? She doesn't know either. It's just that her mother said that she and her father met there and it's still a big question on her.

How come they've met in the woods?

Who lives in the forest? Her Mom or her Dad?

They don't talk about their love story because the says that the important thing is that we are a happy family. The only reason why she doesn't want to go home is because they will force her again to stay there for good.

Carol is currently driving towards the villa gumamela owned by her cousin Maxon, and when she entered she was not surprised to see many construction workers there. The entire villa has been under renovation for a long time now since Adira was in the hospital, and her cousin's reason for renovating the whole villa was nothing but, "For my sugar's safety." and I really think that he's insane for doing such thing.

For sugar's safety her ass. Well, the villa has almost become a big mall because there is a grocery shop standing there, there is also a play world, a salon, a dessert shop, a dress shop, a book store, and also a huge gymnasium. She's hoping that one of these days Adira will realize that the one she married has a brain issue.

Everything she sees now is only for his cousin's beloved wife, who is none other than Adira. And speaking of her cousin and it's wife, she has news that the two are in another country which is good because she gets attack by ants every time she sees them together. They don't even consider a single person like her especially when they are in their own world.

She drove as fast as she could but instantly slowed down when she reached the woods. There is a pathway there leading to their mansion so she won't get lost unlike before, when only her parents knew about the secret passage.

"Still beautiful as ever," Caro, whispered when she saw a large and Spanish styled mansion in front of her, and that was none other than her beloved home.

She grew up here, but even so, she still couldn't help but be amazed by its beauty. At the entrance of the mansion you will be greeted by huge trees and various types of flowers as well as a small river and deafening laughter that comes from the workers of their mansion.

Carol carefully parked her black jaguar car in the shade and was greeted with a smile by her Mother whom she had just seen on the veranda of their second floor.

Carol quickly glanced at her reflection in the mirror of her car and got out smiling. Her blue orbs met her mother's brown orbs in an instant, and they both flashed a big sweet smile when they saw each other's faces closely.

Her mother's beauty has never faded.

"Mom," Carol said softly and tightly hugged her mother who was now in tears.

"Oh, my beautiful baby..." her mother said while caressing her hair.

For some unknown reason, Carol's eyes warmed until she didn't realize she was in tears.

"Mom, I missed you..." Carol said while sobbing softly.

"I missed you too baby Carol," her mother said and kissed both of her cheeks. "My daughter is really beautiful, just like me."

Carol chuckles because of what her mother stated. She really is an heir of her mother because they both love boasting.

"We are both beautiful mom. Only my older brother has a different face because he is ugly," Carol said and giggled softly, that eventually followed by her mother's loud laughter. But Carol quickly stopped when she saw her father watching them from afar with a wide smile on his face.

Carol quickly ran between her and her father's direction, and without a word she jumps into her father's arm causing them both to fall down and instead of grunting in pain they both laughed.

"I missed you dad. But you're weak, you can't lift me up anymore," Carol pouted and confronted her father.

Carol heard her father groaned because of disbelief, which is why she closed her eyes tightly to stop her laughter. Her father really hates to be called weak.

"I'm not weak princess, you're really heavy so I can't handle you anymore," her father said, causing her to gasps in horror.

"Why can you do it with mom? How about me? You don't love me anymore?" Carol asks while faking her sobs.

Carol's father let out a deep sigh and said, "Your mom is different, princess. She's my strength that's why I can carry her around without a problem,"

Carol's face crumpled because of what her father said. She really thought that she was free from Maxon's cheesy lines, but her father prove her wrong. He's much into it, than Maxon.

"Stop it dad! You're giving me chills," Carol roared and stood up as her father did the same.

"Geez princess, watch your mouth. I'm still your dad," said, her father.

"Yeah? Well, I am your one and only daughter, and just like grandfather said, I got all my traits and attitude from you, that I'm your girl version. So be patient and accept it dad," she said with a wide grin on her lips.

Her father pointed at her face like she did something very wrong.

"Honey, you're daughter is bullying me!" her father reported to her mother who's now watching them with a smile.

"She won't help you dad, because you're old," Carol teased her father, even the great painter can't paint her father's crumpled face.

At the age of sixty five, her father Wayne is still undeniably strong and handsome man. It's not actually obvious that he is already senior citizen because of his posture and body shape as well as his angelic face. And of course, her mother--Cherry. Even though she is already fifty nine years old, she still remains sexy and healthy. She didn't even look like she gave birth to two.

"Am I really that old honey?" her father asks tenderly, who's now clinging to her mother's arm.

"Yes. You just can't accept that you're old," her mother replied and laughed.

"You're bullying me too?" her father asks in disbelief, making her and her mother giggle.

"Dad, stop acting like a child. It's not appropriate," Carol said and she acted like puking.

Her father was about to pinch her cheeks, so she quickly ran into their mansion and when she entered, she was met by an antique grand piano that still works today. She used to play it since she was a child.

Memories from her childhood flashed on her head as she looked around their mansion. Nothing's new, what it looked like when she left is still the same until now.

"Welcome home, Carol." her parents said in unison, who were standing next to her.

A huge sweet smile appears on Carol's lips because of what her parents said. And her eyes began to wet and seconds later, she started crying in her parents arms until she lost her consciousness.

Carol wakes up in a very familiar room. It's her room since she was a child until she reached the age of twenty one. She hasn't been home for a long time. Four years.

Carol got up from her queen sized bed and earnestly observed her room. In every corner of it she sees herself as well as her youth. She can see a little version of her running around, singing, dancing and screaming because of happiness.

A knock from her room's door brought her back to reality. She immediately came to it and opened it, and a wide smile drew on her lips when she saw her father and mother both holding a silver tray with plate, glass, fork, and food in it.

"Come in," Carol said and opened the door widely.

Her parents immediately entered her room and placed the silver tray they're holding on her side table and after that they both sat on her bed.

"I rally though you're sick because you lost consciousness, you made me nervous," her father said.

"I'm sorry dad. I didn't even know that was going to happen," she said and sigh.

"That's what you get for not visiting us and for making us worried about your safety," her mother said, and there was a hint of sullenness in her voice. which is why she quickly approached her and hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry mom, I got really busy, You know I am a doctor," Carol saidl while repeatedly kissing her mother's cheek.

"Why are you still working, my daughter? There's no need," Carol's father said while gently staring at them.

Carol sneered because of what her father said, and said, "I have to work for my own luxury and wants, dad. And one more thing, I don't want to depend on you and mom. I know that we're rich but I don't want to be called a spoiled brat who only depends on her parents."

A proud smile appears on her parents lips because of what she said that makes her feel at ease.

She knows that her parents will understand her as long as she loves what she's doing they're not against about it.

"But I heard that you are broken-hearted, my daughter? Four days?" her mother asks while smiling.

Carol's eyes narrowed because of this. It seems that the gossip has already reached her mother. And she didn't even ask who said that because she only told one person that her relationship was four days, and that was none other than her older brother Charles.

"Mom, it's nothing," Carol said and looked away.

"You got broken hearted just in four days Carol? Just like I'm telling you," her father said, and shook his head slightly.

Carol just let out a deep breath because she was sure they wouldn't stop her until they get what they want.

"Well, the truth is that it was three days and not four," She said, causing her parents to gasps in surprise.

They are being over acting again.

"Then? What happened? Why did you two break up? Who broke up, you or him? Is it handsome?" Carol's mother asked one question after another. Which is why she turned to look at her father to ask for help but she go disappointed to see that he was also waiting for her answer.

"Dad..." Carol called her father's attention.

"What? Don't dad me Carol, spill the beans. We're waiting," her father said, and raised an eyebrow at her indicating that he is serious.

Carol doesn't have a choice but to answer her parents questions. She told everything from the beginning, how she met that man whose real name is unknown to her. They just met in a dating app and they're just texting for almost three days and she's not sure if they're really been in a relationship because nothing happened between the two of them. They do exchanged, "I love you" but nevertheless, that three days relationship is worth it.

The man behind the black profile treats her very well, he even sends her a gift that she hid well. She hadn't heard his voice yet because they hadn't called. Plain text only, that's it.

"Then, what happened after that?" her mother asks after she told them the truth.

Carol smiles and said, "Nothing special mom, back to normal."

"Aww...it's too bad, my daughter. You didn't get a chance to really know him," her mother said regretfully, who receives criticism from his father.

"Don't say that honey! Our little princess is not allowed to get married yet. She's not even thirty!" her father said, whining.

"Don't be too hard on your daughter! You also wants grandchildren didn't you?!" her mother snapped, with that they started debating on who's who.

Carol just shook her head and started eating. She just let her parents argue because after that they would surely complementing each other again. They can't stay mad at each other for a long time. Her parents are both softy that's why she can't figure out where her older brother Charles got his strong personality. And just like before, ants are lurking at her again because of her parents sweetness. She's not a thing but she feels like she's just a display and an air at the moment.

When Carol finished eating, she quietly left her room and went to her older brother Charles's room because he said that her present was there. She happily opened the door of her brother's room but was startled to see a bunch of printed screenshots scattered there and those screenshots came from her conversation with the mysterious guy that she met online.

"Brother Charles!" Carol shouted with all her might due to annoyance.

She will surely get revenge. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
