I led Sebastian's mother outside the church, and as we approached my car, I noticed Kaiden awaiting my presence. His eyes were fixed on Sebastian's mother, trying to guess who she was."She will be coming with us, Kaiden," I uttered."Wait, back to the mansion?" Kaiden asked, seemingly surprised."Where else would it be?" I said with a furrowed brow, prompting him to give a nod.I helped Sebastian's mother into the back seat before joining her. Kaiden started the car engine and began driving away from the church. The sun had already set. Upon arriving back at the mansion in the late night, I helped Sebastian's mother out and noticed Kaiden's gaze still fixed on her."What are you still waiting for?" I questioned, snapping him out of his trance-like state. "Oh, won't you be going out again, ma'am?"Honestly, what was wrong with him? After a long stressful day, why would I think of going out again? And anyway, I had made sure to attend to all my plans I had set for today."No, Kaiden, y

What was she doing here?"Mam, let's go…" Kaiden snapped. "I have to check on something first." I said, leaving no further response to him as I made my way through the streets, eventually entering the building. With my eyes slowly scanning each side, I searched for Sebastian's mother. Then I caught her seated in the front seat, her hands cradled together. As I approached her, I noticed her shut eyes."Please God, I know I don't deserve a second chance, but please, just please let him see me as his mother. Let him look at me once again with love pouring out of his eyes. All I ask is just for a second chance, a second chance to correct all my wrong doings and make things right." She kept mumbling, her tears flowing out with a cracked sobber tone."Why are you here, Mam? Why did you have to leave in such haste?" Kaiden's words came in a whisper, but those whispers seemed to cause Sebastian's mother's eyes to spring open slowly as they landed on me."Scarlet?" She uttered, her very expres

Scarlet's POVAfter the detective left, I gently stood up and made my way out, my eyes landing on Kaiden standing outside, awaiting my presence."Are you set to go, ma'am?" he questioned."Yes, Kaiden, let's go," I said, entering the passenger seat as he entered the front seat.I felt less bothered by his presence; I could let things slide for now. I had my aims and plans to see through."Where are we going now, ma'am?" Kaiden's voice came through.Since everything was set and my plan to uncover Evelyn's intentions was underway, my only thought was visiting my mom."Take us to the city mental asylum, Kaiden," I said."Sorry, ma'am, mental asylum?" he asked."Are you questioning my words? That's the next direction we're heading to. If you have a problem with it, I would surely love to go there myself without you bugging at my side," I said."Alright, ma'am, I will drive now," he said, starting the car engine and driving on, leaving the restaurant behind. Not long after, we arrived at t

The evening hours found me seated, checking through some documents placed on my desk. My attention was grasped by a call later; checking it out, it was Alexander.What could he be calling about?I picked up the call."Are you free tonight, Sebastian?" Alexander uttered."Why?""Just that I missed a friend and wanted to spend some time with him. How about dinner tonight at the restaurant near your office?""You mean the Oakwood Grill restaurant?" I questioned."Yeah, Sebastian."Really, what could it be that he had called and was now asking for a meetup? Friends? I wouldn't say so. I only saw him as a business partner, and he had proved to me how he handles the business well, which impressed me. So, I was simply only impressed by his passion and talent, and I lent a little help. But I guess he took it wrong.I don't have friends; I don't need any. Workers, maybe. Business partners, maybe. But friends? Not really happening.But it doesn't seem like a bad idea to catch up for dinner. And

I needed answers to all my questions, especially why he was with her.My fingers quickly dialed Rafe's number, calling him up. The call persisted, ringing for a few seconds before it was finally picked up."What could be the reason for receiving a call from you, Mr. Hawthorne?" Rafe's voice came through. "Do you need me to find someone for you again, or get some details?""Where are you now, Rafe?" I questioned, going straight to the reason why I had called."What do you mean, Mr. Hawthorne?""A question isn't answered with another, Rafe. Just tell me where you are now.""And why do you wish to know, Mr. Hawthorne? My whereabouts should be the least of your concern, but if you must know, then I strolled out a bit.""Strolled out?" I scoffed."Tell me, Rafe. Why were you with Scarlet today at the restaurant?" I questioned, noticing the silence that echoed after, as I could grasp a slow sigh through the call."It seems the hunter has also been hunted now. Were you spying on me, Mr. Hawt

Sebastian's POV "I am not selling this land for such an amount. You either agree to my price or just leave. I have many other things to attend to," the man uttered.I couldn't help but let out a slight chuckle at his words. I had returned to work today; my wounds weren't fully healed, which was evident, but my resting time had seemed to run its course, and it was high time I got things done, taking my business to the next level.Now, here I found myself discussing with this greedy fool. The project had to begin tomorrow, no matter what, and the land deal had to be finalized today for that to happen. But it seemed that wouldn't be happening anytime soon if I didn't show him his place."Mr. Ambrose, or what was it again?" I asked."Ambrose," he responded as I walked closer to him, placing my hand on his shoulder with a firm yet gentle touch."Whatever. I don't care. I just want you to know that the papers shall be brought to you this evening, and I hope you don't disappoint. Sign them

As we clashed out on a long drive, I had told Kaiden to just keep driving around for a few minutes as I took in the air that came through the half-opened window. Maybe the peace and quiet were all I needed for just a moment. To let things go for just a few seconds and feel my life back once more.However, my thoughts soon disrupted my quiet moment, reminding me of the meeting I had set up with the private detective. I needed him to help me get details about Evenlyn's activities and keep track of her movements. With the evening hours approaching, I knew I should be returning to the company. However, I had already attended to some of the work on my desk, so I deserved a moment to rest. I could only hope they would understand my absence as I had some important matters to attend to, like finding out the truth about what happened to my mother and if Evenlyn was truly involved."Take us back to the restaurant, Kaiden," I uttered."The restaurant?" he questioned."Yes, Kaiden, the same resta

Checking his contact details, I booked a meeting with him timed for the evening hours at a nearby restaurant, placing down my phone and retracting my gaze from it. I returned my focus to the workload that awaited my early morning, checking through each research made and signing some documents. As the afternoon hours met me in my exhausted state, I gently stood up from the desk, hoping to receive some fresh air.I should be ready for such busy days since the project was now back on track and the project deadline to launch was getting nearer, so things had to be done in a hastened act while ensuring no errors occurred in the process."Mam, we are going to get lunch. You wanna come?" Emily uttered, walking with some of the other work colleagues.I guessed such socializing wouldn't be bad, even just for some moments. I couldn't deny one fact that stood glaring at me all this while—the truth that stood still of how long it had been since I had such company with people. I hadn't been in con

"Look who's having fun in the shower while I'm drowning in misery," I whispered, my gaze flickering up and down as I tried to stand up from the bed, only to miss a step and almost crumble to the ground. A steady hand stabilized me. It was Sebastian, his eyes fixed on me.Releasing myself from his grasp, I steadied my feet and stood. "I didn't ask for your help, did I?" I said, my hands softly pointed at him as I stepped closer."Kaiden told me you were out drinking after work. Why did you have to drink so much, knowing your health?" he asked."My health? Since when did you start caring about my health? Oh, yeah, if anything happens to me, it would affect your reputation, right? Because I am your wife to the world. The same old speech day by day. I'm sick of it." My presence drew closer, my breath almost mingling with his."You're drunk, Scarlet. You need to rest," he uttered, retreating from my side as he made his way toward the bed."I don't need you to tell me what to do. I decide w
