Caroline's POV:

"I'm sorry..." I whispered, tears welling up in my eyes.

"I used to think of you as my real mother..." I gently tucked Elizabeth in bed and couldn't help but shed

a tear.

The tear landed on her cheek, and I wiped it with a handkerchief.

I drugged her with the magic potion the wizard gave me.

This meant that she might never wake up again.

Elizabeth was my adoptive mother.

She had raised me since I was a kid.

Werewolves had feelings.

For so many years, I had seen her as my biological mother.

That was, until she set my happiness aside.

Not only did she stop me from being with the one I loved, but she also wanted me to marry someone I

didn't even know.

Whenever I remembered this, I felt that what I was doing was justified.

I touched her face and, for some reason, I couldn't stop crying.

"Thank you for raising me and treating me as your own.I didn't have the heart to kill you, but I really

love Anthony, so I had to make you sleep.You won't blame me, right?" I smiled bitterly.

"No, how could you not blame me? If you ever woke up and found out it was me who did this, you

wouldn't show me any mercy.After all, you only care about that bitch, Jennifer.And you even wanted me

to get married to a stranger for her sake!"

I glared at Elizabeth's sleeping face for a long time.

When I finally calmed down, I knocked over the bowl to make it look like it was an accident and put on

a panicked expression.

"Mom, are you alright?" I shouted in a shrill voice.

Sure enough, maids rushed in when they heard my screams.

They too were panic-stricken when they saw the knocked-over bowl and the unconscious Elizabeth.

"What are you doing just standing there? Get an ambulance here now! Mom suddenly fainted!"

I made the orders, all the while shedding a few tears to make my act more believable.

Not long after, an ambulance arrived and took Elizabeth to the royal hospital.

After around an hour, the doctor came out of the emergency room, took off their masks and

announced,

"Everyone, please prepare yourselves mentally.Mrs.Jones won't be waking up any time soon."

When I heard the news, I pretended to be unable to bear it and fell to my knees.

A nearby maid hurried to help me up.

"Are you alright, Miss Wilson?"

"I will be," I said in between sobs.

"Ask the hospital to use only the best medicine.A few of the maids should be left here to care for

her.Also, hire a few nurses to watch over her, too.Mom will wake up, I just know it!"

After making these arrangements, I sat on the chair in the corridor of the hospital and couldn't help but

burst into tears again.

I knew that things would never be the same again.

Turning my mother into a vegetable crossed the line, and I was keenly aware of this.

Elizabeth was transferred to a private ward, and the maids followed her in to take care of her.

I sat in the corridor dejectedly, cold winds blowing against my face.

Soon, I heard footsteps and a pair of boots appeared in my line of sight.

At first, I thought it was Anthony, so I felt overjoyed.

But when I looked up eagerly, I found it was just Austin.

I quickly lowered my head to hide my swollen eyes.

Damn it! I thought Anthony woke up.

Austin sat down next to me.

As usual, he mocked me coldly, "Wow, I can't believe our Caroline is crying.Even I didn't see this

coming.How did it feel to drug your own mother? Do you feel guilty?"

"Of course not! Can't you tell I'm pretending? They would've thought I was a psychopath if I didn't react

this way."

I smiled at him smugly, trying to hide my true emotions.I couldn't let him know that I actually was sad.

"That's good.Don't be softhearted, or else you'll make me sick."

Austin sneered insidiously.

I looked up at him and forced a smile.

"If I was softhearted, would I have done this?"

This logic was sound, so Austin didn't say anything more.

Then, he ordered the hospital staff to take good care of Elizabeth.

When that was settled, he dragged me out of the hospital and took me to his room.

"Tell me, what did you do to Elizabeth?" He sat on the sofa, eyeing me calmly.

"I drugged her with a kind of magic potion that essentially put her in a coma.If all goes well, she may

never wake up."

Austin praised me, "Well done.You deserve to be my woman."

To be honest, I didn't want to accept such a praise, so I didn't say anything.

"My dear, come here."

Austin patted the seat beside him.I sat down obediently.

"So, what happened to Anthony?"

Austin pinched my neck.

"I've also dealt with him.The result will be satisfactory,"

I said absent-mindedly.

Austin's hand moved from my face to my breasts.

"Bitch, you'd better be careful.Betray me and I'll kill you."

Austin Was a lunatic.I knew he meant what he said.A shiver ran down my spine but I smiled outwardly.

"I won't betray you.Don't worry."

Austin nodded as he continued to swirl his fingers around my nipple.

"Actually, I had Anthony's memories erased.As long as his memories stay gone, no one will compete

with you for the throne."

"You really are useful.Even I don't want to leave you.Tell me, what should I do?"

Austin seemed very satisfied.

He pinched my jaw and forced me to look into his hungry eyes.

He grinned playfully and pecked the corner of my mouth.

I wanted to evade him subconsciously, but I couldn't risk getting locked up again, so I forced a smile.

He held all the power right now, so I couldn't afford to piss him off.

"Austin," I cooed as I pressed my chest against his arm.

Austin's eyes lit up and he seemed satisfied with my reaction, so he made me sit on his lap.

"What's up?" Austin asked.

"Well, since Anthony has lost his memories, I need you to help me make my lie believable when he

wakes up."

He looked stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, but you have to do as I Say.I don't mind giving you what you want for now.But you don't want to

know the consequences of betraying me, Caroline."

"Of course."

I wrapped my hands around his neck, lowered my head and nibbled his Adam's apple.

My lips made it’s way to his belly.

Finally, Austin couldn't restrain his desire anymore and ripped my clothes off.

I knew that only by satisfying Austin could I continue to cooperate with him.

What I needed most now was a useful partner.

If I fought alone, I would never get everything I wanted.
