Chapter 0033
Caroline’s POV:
Questions swirled in my mind as the nervousness in my veins mounted. What if it was indeed William who had hurt my father? What could I even do in that case? No matter the outcome, I knew I needed answers or I would never rest.
My immediate instinct was to call William as soon as possible, but each call was spitefully ignored. As a CEO, he could have been busy with vital work, but the lack of answers infuriated me. Waiting wasn’t an option while my father lay broken in the hospital.
I needed answers, but I was going to have to get them in person. With a fire in my heart, I drove down to the villa we once shared to find him, and I wasn’t going to leave until I received an explanation.
I pounded on the door, expecting to see William or at least the housekeeper on the other end. Instead, I was met with the flawless features of Sophia. Since when had she moved in? She had been absent the last few times I was taken to the villa. Did she even know that her boyfriend’s ex–wife had been staying in his home?
Held aloft in her other arm was her beautiful baby boy, George, who slept soundly in his mother’s hold. A scornful look was firmly etched on Sophia’s flawless features. My own expression wasn’t too dissimilar, as just the sight of her made me sick.

“I need to see William,” I replied, trying to keep my voice level, but that wasn’t easy when speaking to my husband’s mistress of all people. “I have some things I want to ask him. Where is he?”
“He’s working late today. You could have just talked to him over the phone, you know,” she pointed out, her free hand on her hip.
“He wasn’t answering,” I bit back. “Besides, this is an emergency.”
After heavy scrutiny, she allowed me into William’s home with a tired sigh. “If you have an emergency, you can talk to me,” she said, as though she was already Mrs. Anderson and the lady of the household.
I turned my head in contempt, refusing to play into her superiority complex. “I have nothing to say to you. I’ll just wait for William.”
Sophia scoffed, promptly sitting down on the sofa and turning her attention to little George, who was starting to stir from his restful slumber. “I’m sorry, my baby boy,” she cooed. “She must be bothering you. Don’t worry, daddy will be home soon. We are an actual family, after all.”
Her words were obviously meant to provoke me, but they still made me grimace. This woman knew that I had lost my baby around the time she had hers, and yet she still endeavored to

taunt me. These were the words of a heartless woman.
