When the tcomes, Elizabeth will plead on our behalf for the child's sake, and this whole thing will blow over.
The Brooks family won't just survive, we'll thrive, rising to even greater heights. And what can Caroline possibly
do? An orphan with no support, thinking she can take on the entire looks family? Ridiculous.
“Of course, Mr. Ellison, Samantha nodded eagerly. “Ellabeth will be overjoyed to see you!”
“Yes, she talks about you nonstop. You're all she ever thinks about.”
Just like that, Matthew and Samantha left the Ellison residence unscathed.
Caroline remained seated on the couch, unmoving, silent. A deep sense of helplessness rose within her.
From the moment she learned Elizabeth was pregnant, she knew everything had changed.

a lifetime.
It didn’t matter that they had sold her off on her wedding night.

“And you?” Caroline lifted her gaze. “Are you going to see Elizabeth now?”
“Yes.”
She knew he would go. She knew he wouldn't change his mind. But hearing him confirm it still felt like a knife
twisting in her chest.
What am | expecting?
She was foolish, deluding herself into thinking, even for a second, that David might consider her feelings, that he
might stay.
She had overestimated her worth.

He was the one who said he loved her.
He was the one who promised they'd build a life together.
He was the one who assured her he would handle things with Elizabeth.
Everything he had
said meant nothing now.
Biting her lip, Caroline summoned the last of her courage. “What if | told you not to go?”
Hould he stay?
