Countess' lover

Karl thought that he had planned everything well, his life safety, status and reputation, he had calculated everything.Yet he still felt the terror when the Titanic actually sank.The deck broke in the middle, and the icy water rushed up, and the sound of crying and screaming filled his ears.

He followed some people and ran towards the bow, only the thought that Ariel would appear again or that Leger would come over soon could give him temporary peace of mind.

The ship finally sank, and Carl was lying on a cold plank with the cold sea water beneath him.Every minute was so hard, his body even had a layer of white frost.Until the last moment, when Leger found him, Karl still didn't wait for Ariel.

Was he wrong?Karl huddled weakly on the lifeboat, drawing a little warmth from his clothes.He was so well prepared that a few extra people were rescued from the lifeboat to cover it up.But why hasn't Ariel appeared yet?

Karl looked at the sea unwillingly, and he seemed to see Ariel's mocking smile in the hazy mist.Although his spirit was exhausted, Carl was sure that what he saw was true.If it was a hallucination, he should only be able to see Ariel, and beside Ariel, there was clearly another beautiful woman whom he had never seen before.

"Why..." He opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound. "I love you so much...wouldn't it be good to come back to me? I'll be good to you..."

Ariel didn't reply to Carl, she floated on the surface and started singing.It was the first time Carl had heard her sing, and it was a song that, once heard, he would never forget again.

Ariel was singing about a mermaid princess.She came to shore for the one she loves, but the one she loves already has a fiancée.She hesitated and struggled, wanting to win the heart of her lover, but stopped for her fiancée.The lover and the fiancée do not love each other. The princess thought she could get the love of a man, but in the end what a man loves most is money and power.So, she gave up...

"No...it's not like this..." He retorted softly, but the singing stopped and the person no longer existed.Everything is like a dream.He struggled to find the pearls in his arms, but even the string of pearls seemed to exist in a dream, and he could not find them.

"Are you really not going to see him? I think he still likes you." The witch asked.

"It's not necessary," Ariel stroked her belly with a sly smile, "I suddenly had a better idea. Will you help me?"

"Even if it's for your sister... But you are really much smarter than your sister. I also want to see how far you can go."

Carl finally returned to the United States. The huge disaster did not take the capitalist's life. He inherited a huge wealth and still lived a life of enjoyment.

Karl did not marry a wife. In the first year of his return, he frantically went to sea to find someone, and in the second year, he frantically looked for a woman with blue eyes or platinum blonde hair and a sweet smile.However, in the third year, he dismissed all his lovers and lived alone.

The private life of this rich man makes people talk about it.Some people think that he hid a stunning beauty in the big villa, some people think that he fell in love with a woman but couldn't get it, and some people think that he left some sequelae in that disaster.

This topic continued until more than ten years later.A huge economic crisis swept across the United States, but Karl's factory, which was already difficult to maintain, was suppressed by force at this time. Due to internal and external troubles, he went bankrupt in a short period of time and owed a huge amount of compensation.

The clock towers of Wall Street were packed with people who looked sleepy and hopeless.Cal Hockley, a man who was destined to enjoy all the good things from birth, came here quietly at this time.True, he has lost everything now, the house and the car, nothing.The only thing left is huge debts, an expensive suit, and a gun in his arms.

Carl was walking on the street blankly, losing all his wealth, status and everything.He was planning to go to the bell tower to commit suicide, he had nothing to worry about.

The memory reversed back more than ten years ago, and the few days on the Titanic turned out to be the only thing Carl remembered at this moment.

That was a turning point in his life, but Karl couldn't remember the girl's appearance.He only remembered her bright and smooth blonde hair, the bright blue fishtail and the warm pink pearls around her neck.No, maybe he still retains his love for her, the feeling that no one can replace after losing it.Otherwise, he wouldn't have been single for so many years.

Karl touched the gun in his arms, and walked towards the clock tower indifferently.He has regretted countless times in his dreams. If he had cherished earlier, if he had given up on people who did not belong to him earlier, if he hadn't cared so much about wealth and status... what would happen now?

He thought of another person, his former fiancée Ruth.Ruth and Jack could not be together after all, the burden of life and mother's curse defeated the proud and beautiful woman.She broke up with Jack and married a wealthy capitalist.

Karl laughed at himself, what's the use of those things now?A love may last longer, but he ruined it with his own hands.

A teenager suddenly passed by him, and it was unknown whether he bumped into Karl intentionally or unintentionally.He didn't check the gun in his arms for a while, and fell to the ground with Carl's body, but no one would pay attention to him.

"Are you okay?" Carl raised his head and saw a boy with brown hair. This boy had a pair of blue eyes, which were extremely beautiful and familiar.

"I'm fine." It's hard to imagine that one day he will be so gentle and tolerant.

Carl's attitude made the teenager smile, which made people feel sweet.He reached out to pull Carl up in a friendly way, and picked up the gun for him.

"Is your surname Hockley?" the boy asked, even his expression was so familiar to him.

"Yes. What's the matter?"

The boy stuffed a pink pearl into Carl's hand and pointed in another direction, "Mr. Hockley, my mother wants to see you."

Mother?Carl looked down, the pink pearl in his palm was plump and round, definitely top grade.He looked up indifferently, and a fashionable lady with an umbrella came towards him.That can't be called Mrs., she looks as beautiful as a young lady in her teens.

The white skin is clear and moist, and the platinum blonde hair is loose

Holding each other's arms, there is a proud and gentle smile in the lake blue eyes.She looks dignified and elegant, enough to attract everyone's attention without saying a word.What made Karl most unforgettable was the pink pearl necklace around her neck.

"Ariel..."

The memories from many years ago resurfaced, unexpectedly so clear!She is still beautiful, but the situation is so different.Dazedly, Carl noticed that the luxury car behind Ariel belonged to him just a few days ago.

"Ariel...is that you?" He asked hesitantly, he no longer had the contempt and casualness of the past, but there was clearly a flame in his eyes that was extremely hot.

"Long time no see, Mr. Hockley." Ariel put away the umbrella and handed it to the boy beside her, "For the sake of remembering your old friend..."

She laughed suddenly, and pointed to the luxury car behind her with her slender fingers, "I still need a driver. Are you interested?"
