Billionaire's Betrayal: My Ex Beg Me To Love Him Again
Chapter 0047

Chapter 0047 Caroline's POV:

In my unconscious state, I was plagued by an awful nightmare.

In my nightmare, I was adrift in a neverending stormy sea. A thunderstorm raged around me, tossing and turning my raft. I clung on for dear life, trying desperately to stay afloat, but that's when I heard a tragic noise: the sound of a baby crying.

I looked around frantically, trying to find the source of the crying. Then, I saw him: my baby, struggling in the wild tides of the ocean. He was sobbing, calling out for me. "Mommy," he screamed, fruitlessly splashing his arms in the ocean just to keep his head above the water.

I screamed in horror and dove into the chaotic waters, fighting the waves to get to him in time. No matter how hard I swam, though, it was like the tides were always keeping us apart. I tried so hard to reach him, calling out his name as the waves carried us away. My heart sank when his head disappeared beneath the waves and he didn't come back up. No, no! It couldn't be! I couldn't lose him, not again!

Calling out to him did absolutely nothing, and soon I was overtaken by the ferocious waves. I tried to yell for my baby, but my lungs were quickly filled with water. I fought to reach the surface, but some unknown force was constantly dragging me deeper and deeper. As the air was strangled from my lungs, I knew for certain that I was finally going to drown. I had been too weak to save my baby, and now I was going to join him. Oddly enough, that terrifying thought brought me peace.

I awoke in a cold sweat and a cry of fear on my lips. Sucking in lungfuls of air, I frantically touched my face, realizing it was wet with tears. I had been wracked with sobs in my sleep.

That's when a smooth, deep voice reached my ears. "You're finally awake. Did you have a nightmare?"

I felt my heart sink, but this time it was out of anger. I glared over to see William, casually lying beside me in bed. To my utter shock, he was holding little George in his arms. I flicked my gaze between the two, speechless. When I failed to answer him, William calmly gestured to the baby with his head. "Did you want to hold him?"

Just as I was about to scowl a refusal, George opened his little blue eyes and looked at me. He smiled gummily, a cooing sound coming from his mouth. That's when he said, "M-ma-ma." William looked down at his child in amazement. "That's his first word," he whispered.

I was stiff with shock. Painful memories of my dream came back to me in waves, and I had to

force myself to look away. "What did you do to me?" I growled, trying to keep myself from yelling. I didn't want to shout and scare the baby.

"Just diazepam," William replied coolly. "I knew you were just going to find some way out of getting a proper physical exam, so I had Laden bring some equipment to get some tests done."

"Are you crazy?" I gasped. I felt like my privacy had been violated by his depraved actions." How could you do that to me?"

William rolled his eyes as though he hadn't just drugged me and tricked me into a medical test. "It's already done. Don't get yourself in a twist."

I felt anger bubbling in my heart. It was clear to see that William had never once respected me, my privacy, or my feelings. To him, I was just another pretty little object for him to use and throw away once he was done with me. "Let me go," I demanded, my voice ice cold.

He laughed callously in my face, not taking my demand seriously. "No. You're going to stay here with me until your test results come in, understood?" A sneer crossed his face. "Don't you want to see your father again?" Hopelessness bloomed in my heart like a toxic disease. I couldn't stand his cruel actions anymore. I desperately needed to get out of here; not out of the apartment, but out of this horrible life I'd found myself trapped in.

Silently approaching the window, I observed a furious thunderstorm happening just outside, just like the one in my dreams. The unrelenting storm reflected how I felt in my heart. I opened up the window and looked to see that we were high up on the fifth floor of the apartment building.

"Caroline, what are you doing? Close the window, now!" William demanded, but I didn't care to hear him. I could hardly feel anything anymore. William set down his child gently beside him, alarm appearing just behind his eyes. "You're acting strangely again. Cut it out." I would never be free of William, would I? He would never show an ounce of compassion towards me, but I refused to be his captive any longer. The thunderstorm raged before howling winds becoming the symphony to my pain and torment.

William jumped out of bed, panic beginning to form. "Caroline?"

I didn't even look at him because I doubted my heart could take it. Instead, I just calmly closed my eyes and jumped. "Caroline! No!"
