Kapitel 44: Caroline's Cunning Plan
Alice opened her eyes, and she found Bella and her two children already in her room.
She immediately got up with a look on her face that was still scared.
"So I was just dreaming?" she said, Alice's whole body and face covered in sweat.
"Alice, are you okay?" Bella asked, holding Alice's shoulders.
"I'm... fine, Bella," Alice answered, but looked doubtful.
"Auntie was screaming, Aunt Alice, was dreaming about being chased by a monster, wasn't she?" Diana asked innocently.
"Yes," Alice replied with a forced smile.
"Well, Daniel and Diana go out first, okay! Let Mommy talk to Aunt Alice," Bella said.
"But I want to look after Aunt Alice," Diana protested.
"Daniel," Bella glanced at her eldest son. And Daniel already knew the meaning of the gesture from his mother. He immediately grabbed his sister's hand.
"Come on, let's go to our room now!" take daniel.
"But-"
"Diana! I'll tell you about the Green Monster that lives in the river!" said Daniel coaxing his sister.
"Is there, huh?" asked Diana.
"Of course there is! So let's go to the room! Let me tell you!" said daniel. He took his sister's hand, and the girl looked resigned. Daniel managed to persuade Diana.

Now only Bella and Alice were left in the room.
"Alice, you don't think about that anymore!" Bella said, "You are still thinking about that problem, so you are carried away in a dream," Bella put her arm around her young sister's shoulder, and tried to calm her down.
"But I can't forget it, Bella! And I'm sure this dream has meaning," said Alice tearfully.
"Dreams are just flowers in the sleep, Alice. Don't believe it too much! Come on. Let's go back to sleep!" Bella said.
"But-"
"Why?" Bella asked, "are you afraid to sleep alone?" And Alice answered with a nod of her head.
"Yeah, I'm really scared. What will happen when the ghost of the little girl comes again?" said Alice.
"Little ghost?" Bella shook her head.
"Ah, Alice! I told you, didn't I? If it was all a dream!"
"But I'm scared, Bella! Can you sleep here? Accompany me?" asked Alice with a pitiful expression on her face.
"Ah..." Bella seemed to object, but she also felt sorry for her young sister.
"Okay, I'll accompany you tonight," she said. Suddenly a smile appeared on Alice's lips.
"Thank you, Bella!" she said as she hugged her old sister's body.
Now Alice can sleep peacefully because Bella is beside her.
And that way she wasn't scared anymore.
She felt like a child, even just to sleep, she needed someone to accompany her.

The next day Caroline appeared who had just come out of Carlos' residence.
She drives the car alone. Meanwhile, Carlos was already in a hurry to go to his art gallery. Today he will meet a painting collector from abroad.
***
"Ah, it's okay I'm driving alone, the most important thing is that all night I was satisfied spending time alone with Carlos," said Caroline with a sly smile. Her hands were still focused on the steering wheel.
And in the middle of the road, she accidentally saw Alice who was with Bella. They just got out of a psychiatric clinic.
"Well, that's Alice, right?" mumbled Caroline.
"Haha! So she's crazy now?"
"Ouch! So this kind of woman is being chased by Carlos?"
"Tch! I'm a thousand times better than that woman! Carlos is stupid!" said Caroline, railing against Alice from a distance.
For a moment she stopped the car and was about to meet Alice. But she looked doubtful because Alice was with Bella.
Maybe if Alice was alone, then Caroline would approach her and start showing off what she did last night with Carlos.
"Uh, this isn't the right time. But I'm sure I can talk to Alice one day, and I'll show you something that can drive you crazy! Until you don't want to anymore, go back to Carlos!" said Caroline with great ambition.
She started her car again. And looked at Alice with a sly smile.

In the afternoon, Caroline returned to Carlos' house.
Even though she had promised not to bother Carlos again, in reality, it was just a figment.
The woman came back and tried to approach Carlos, with the excuse that she wanted to take her clothes that were left behind.
But when she was in front of Carlos' house, the door of the house was locked.
"Looks like Carlos hasn't come home yet, huh?" mumbled Caroline, fumbling in her pocket.
"Ah, I forgot to bring the spare key,"
Finally, Caroline got back into the car.
She was about to follow Carlos to the art gallery.
But when she got there, apparently Carlos wasn't there.
Caroline asked an officer at the place, and the officer said if Carlos had left the building 5 minutes ago.
Of course, that made Caroline very upset.
"Carlos, where the hell are you?" mumbled Caroline.
"Is that so, he went to see, Alice?"
"Ah, dammit! I won't let that woman take my boyfriend!" said Caroline as she got into her car again.
Now she turned to Bella's house. She wanted to make sure her guess was right or not.
*****
About 10 minutes had passed, Caroline had arrived at Bella's residence, and she saw Carlos' car parked there.
Which meant that Carlos was meeting Alice.
"Damn it! He met that woman!" Caroline immediately opened the car door and was about to war into Alice.
But a few moments later she closed the car door again.
"I can't be careless. If I curse at that woman now, I'll look even worse in Carlos' eyes, and he'll hate me even more!" said Caroline.
Finally, she suppressed her anger and remained in the car. But she still monitors them remotely.
Not long after, Carlos came out of Bella's house and drove off in his car.
Caroline had already shot off before Carlos made it out of the gate. She passed the street opposite where Carlos lived, so they didn't cross paths.

"Bella, I'm going to the cake shop for a bit, okay?" said Alice.
"Should I deliver?" she asked.
"Ah, no need, I can go alone, the place is just close!" Alice answered.
The woman walked to a cake shop not far from where she lived.
And on the road, she saw Caroline's parked car.
"This is a car Caroline's—"
Ceklek!
"Hi, Alice!" said Caroline with a friendly smile.
