Chapter 211 - Goodbye!

Caroline entered her bedroom, went to the bathroom, and brushed her teeth, she tied her hair in a ponytail and gathered all her toiletries, she put them all in the pouch bag.

She exited the bathroom. Placed the pregnancy test kit result in the pocket of the traveling bag and resumed packing the rest of her things.

Thirty minutes later, she's done packing and searched the room for anything that she misses. Her eyes caught Alex's portrait...she was debating to bring it with her or not...she looked at the painting for a while, then she decided to bring it with her because she likes the painting so much.

She put the painting in the large size Eco bag. She went to the bed, folded the blanket properly, and placed it on the pillow. She turns off the air conditioner inside the room.

Her gaze sweeps the room.

Thank God, she's done packing!

Time to leave!

She turns off the light, grabbed the traveling bag and the Eco bag in both hands, and left the room.

She was excited to see her husband again!

She descended the stairs slowly and after she reached the floor, she set aside her things in the living room and went to the pool area to say goodbye to Greg. She saw the two brothers drinking liquor.

"Guys, I'm going home now," she informed them.

The two brothers raised their heads and looked at her smiling face.

"Goodbye..." Greg said in a lifeless voice. The pain of parting was flashing raw in his eyes, he lowered his gaze to the ground.

Alex rose to his feet. "I will send you to the gate. I already informed the guard to call for a taxicab," he said.

"Thank you," Caroline smiled. "Bye Greg, take care of yourself always," she told him for the last time.

Greg nods his head, his eyes wet with unshed tears. He watched as his brother and the woman he loves dearly, left him again for a hundred times. He finally realized that she could never be his woman in this lifetime.

Tears began its descends on his face, this time, he let the tears fall not wanting to subdue them anymore. He poured another liquor into his glass hoping that by drinking...his sorrow will go away.

Back in the living room.

Alex looked at the traveling bag and saw his painting inside the Eco bag, he smiled a bit. She likes his drawing a lot if not, she won't be bringing it with her. At least, she's bringing with her a piece of him.

"That's all my things..." Caroline told him.

"Alright, let me carry them for you," he said and grabbed the traveling bag with his right hand and the Eco bag on his left hand.

Together they left the living room and went outside.

They walked towards the gate and saw the taxi cab waiting outside.

The guard on duty opened the gate, Alex and Caroline approached the taxi to put the bag on the trunk...

Suddenly...a sound of the car approaching halted them on their tracks. They both looked at the coming vehicle.

Caroline froze. Oh no! It's Allison's car!

The car was driven by Owen, he parked the car intentionally blocking the taxi. Allison gets out of the car and stared at her brother and Caroline about to put the bag on the trunk of the taxicab.

"Well...well...well...It looks like I'm the only one who didn't know about this...am I right?" Allison asked them. She looked at Caroline. "Dear...I'm so disappointed with you. This is so sad. How can you even not inform me that you're finally going home?" she asked sadly.

Caroline was speechless due to shock.

Allison went to the driver of the taxi and handed him a one thousand peso bill. "Driver, leave now! Sorry for the delay, keep the change," she smiled at him.

"Thank you, Ma'am!" the driver said, he gets back inside his car and immediately left the place.

Caroline looked at the fading taxi with tears in her eyes. There goes her freedom! Gone away too soon!

Alex looked at his sister and hissed in anger. "What the f.u.c.k are you doing!?" he asked in bewilderment.

Allison smiled. "Huh? Did I do something wrong—?" she asked in wide-eyed confusion, projecting innocence.

"Why did you send the taxi away?" he shouted at his sister.

Allison shrugged. She was used to being yelled at by his brother, it's no big deal, she just stood her ground!

"I brought Caroline here in your house, I will be the one who will bring her back to her house!" she declared defiantly.

Caroline looked at the siblings, they were quarreling because of her.

Greg suddenly appeared in their midst and looked at Allison. "Let her go, sister. Let her return to her boyfriend because she was pregnant with their child," he said calmly.

Allison's nostrils flared, her eyes widened in disbelief. Caroline is pregnant! No, this can't be! Just when his brother is getting better physically with the help of Caroline's presence! She wants it to go on and on until Greg is back to his former healthy self, only Caroline can help him achieved that nearly impossible fate!

Ahh... she already knows what to do!

Alex addressed the guard standing nearby, he gave his order. "Guard, bring Caroline's things in my car. I will send her home, myself."

Allison looked at the guard furiously. "No. Caroline will go with me. I'll send her home, myself!" she insisted furiously and immediately grabbed the traveling bag and the Eco bag and put it in the trunk of her car.

Greg, Alex, and Caroline, including the guard, looked at Allison with shocked faces.

Allison looked at them and projected a fake smile. "See...guys? I'm going to send Caroline to her home," she smiled sweetly at them. She looked at Caroline and extended her hand to the girl. "Come on girl, let's go home," she said pleasantly to her face.

"Y-you will send me home?" Caroline asked with knitted brows, doubting the woman's sincerity.

"Yes, of course! What's wrong? Are you doubting me now? You are my partner in crime, remember? We are the best friend for life," Allison winked at Caroline in a sick way, subtly reminding her of their dark secrets.

Caroline's hands were shaking but she was trying to muster the courage to stay calm and not broke down in front of everyone. She didn't expect that Allison will discover her departure right away. But Allison is here now and she was terrified that Alex and Greg will know that she was a murderer.

She looked at Alex and Greg. "It's okay guys, I'm going with Allison, she will send me home. I'll call you after I'm home," she told them.

Allison grinned and holds Caroline's hands. "Good girl!" she patted her shoulder. She looked at her siblings and smiled. "I'll see you guys tomorrow," she said.

The two women entered the vehicle and Owen navigated the car away from Alex's property.

Alex and Greg watched until the car was fading away from their sight.

"She's gone..." Greg muttered to himself.

"Yeah, she's gone for good. Let's go back to the pool area and drink your sorry away," Alex fondly dr.a.p.ed his arms on his brother's shoulder and they strolled back towards the pool area.

The guard closed the gate and returned to his post.

Inside the moving car driven by Owen.

Allison glared at Caroline who in turn tried her best to avoid her gaze. Dammit! She's been itching to...to...her right-hand move fast and... PAK!... she slapped Caroline on the cheek...not contented...PAK!...she slapped her again...twice!

Caroline winced in pain. She can only caress the area of her cheek that was hit by Allison's hand, tears were flowing down her face.

Owen's eyes widened upon witnessing the spectacle on the rearview mirror. "Madam, please relax, Caroline is pregnant!" he intervened on behalf of the woman who is already sobbing hard in the backseat.

Allison glared at her minion. "Shut up and drive fast!"

"Sorry...where to Madam?" Owen asked.

"To the hideout, this girl needs to see someone! Maybe after tonight, she will finally decide not to leave my brother," Allison said throwing daggers at Caroline who continues crying in the corner, squirming far away from her as possible.

Caroline raised her tear stricken face and looked at Allison. "I wanna go home to my husband!" she demanded.

Allison stared menacingly at Caroline. "How dare you to demand that!? You are not completing your end of the deal. I'm trying to save your ass and yet you are only thinking of yourself! The moment you know that you are pregnant, you come running to go back to your husband. You don't even say goodbye to me! Do you think I will feel happy that you abandon your end of the deal? Well, for your information...I'm not!"

"W-where are you taking me?" Caroline asked in horror.

Allison glowered at Caroline devilishly. "We're going to hell!"

Caroline gasp, her face drained of color.

"Why—are you afraid? You shouldn't be! People like us who are murderers are not afraid to go to hell!" Allison erupted in throaty laughter, amused with the look of fright on Caroline's face.

"OMG...look at you, girl! Afraid to die, eh?" Allison snickered.

Caroline caresses her tummy. "Please, Allison...let me go home! Please take pity of my baby in my tummy," she begged.

Allison was shaking her head, a gleam flashed in her eyes. "Don't worry, that baby of yours still a fetus. I will take you to a doctor so that you can have an abortion. If the baby is gone, you can continue to be with my brother Greg. The baby has to go...so that you can finish our deal!"

Caroline's face turns white.
