Alex drove back home, his mind still reeling from the intense confrontation between him and Liam. As he stepped through the front door of his house, he couldn't shake off the weight of his thoughts. If he truly wanted to win Scarlett's heart, he needed to find a way to deal with the interference from his family. Sitting down on the couch, he pondered his options. Then, an idea struck him like lightning. He had tried speaking with his parents alone, trying hard not to get Alana's parents involved, but looks like he has to do so now. Alana's parents needed to know that he did not want their daughter. He would take control of the situation by inviting each one of his family members to have breakfast with him at one of his luxurious hotels. Alana and her family included. He won't be inviting his grandfather, the news would surely teach the old man later. He knew that if he tried to host it in his parents' house, they might end up trapping him there and bending him to their will again.
Alex glared at Mandy with red eyes. He knew exactly what she was talking about. There was a hidden message in her question. She was not only talking about Liam making their family poor if he went after Scarlett, she was also talking about his inheritance. If he did not get married to Alana, he would never inherit his parent's companies and all his hard work will be for nothing. In the marriage contract he signed with Alana, it was stated there. His parents really know how to hook and tie someone down to do their budding. If not for this, he would never have tolerated Alana all these years now would he need to call for this breastfast to make his parents understand that he did not want Alana and would never marry her. He would surely find a way out of this if not, everything will automatically go to Mandy since he had no other siblings and his parents adopted her after her parents passed away in a ghastly car accident. If Mandy became the successor of everything, his life would be ov
Even with the shit that was going on between him and his family, Alex always went to visit Scarlett but on this particular day, the tension between him and Liam was palpable. Both men found themselves vying for Scarlett's attention, their eyes locked in a silent battle. It was a battle fueled by their desire to win over the heart of the woman they both believe is rightfully theirs.Liam, determined and unyielding, refused to back down. He had never been one to accept defeat easily, and he was certainly not about to start now, especially when it came to matters of the heart. He believed that Scarlett was his, and he was willing to fight for her this time. He let her go once because of a bad decision, he was not going to make the same mistake again. Alex, seeing that Scarlett had gone to check on the baby, turned to Liam, “Do you seriously think you're the better man for Scarlett? Please, I understand her on a whole other level! I can finish her sentences and predict her every move. We
Scarlet released a deep sigh of relief as she finally put her baby to sleep and sat down. She brought her hand up to massage her aching head.As of late, she had been having migraines, but she always shrugged them off as she thought they were a result of staying up late and taking care of the baby. Just then the baby began crying again, Scarlet groaned and went back to attend to the little man. She carried him in her arms and started rocking him, but the baby kept on wailing louder and louder. “Shhh, shh.” She soothed, rocking the baby as she danced from one end of her room to another. Despite all her efforts, the baby kept on crying, and her head continued to throb even more. She played the songs Liam always played, but he kept crying. She had been told when she carried the baby to the hospital for postnatal that she had a colic baby. It was really frustrating and overwhelming taking care of her baby. When the crying became too much for her, Scarlett found herself taking out her
When the pain of the migraine became too much, Scarlett found herself sliding down to the bathroom floor and crying her eyes out. She missed her old life where she had her father and so many of her loved ones around her. She missed them dearly. After crying for a long time, she closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to subside. Crying won't solve anything, her baby needed her, so she had to be strong.After a while, the pain eventually subsided. Scarlett dragged herself from the bathroom floor. She had things she needed to get, and she wanted to leave the house for a while. It was becoming suffocating to be indoors every day. It has never been her thing. She felt like the walls of the house; the walls of her room and every other room were closing in on her. She needed to buy a few things for herself. Liam and Alex had provided everything the baby needed. When they asked her if there was something she needed, she told them no.She picked up her baby and put her in a baby carrier before
Nothing. According to the result of the test that the hospital sent to her, there was nothing wrong with her brain. They invited her to come over in a few days time when they can do another intensive test on her. With Liam gone again to whenever, Scarlett found herself holding her head over the sink in the bathroom for cold water to pour on it. When the pains became too much for her to bear, she went in search of James and asked him to help her get aspirin and some painkillers. When James got back with it, Scarlett specifically instructed him not to inform Liam about her sending him to get drugs for her. She wanted to handle everything herself.But, unfortunately, James immediately spilled the beans and told Liam when he got back home.Lima had a deep frown on his face as he walked into the overly quiet mansion, which was never quiet because of his son. The place felt eerily cold, like a morgue, and Lima found himself racing up the stairs to Scarlett's room. He was halfway up the st
Scarlett refused to stay in her hospital when we woke up, so she was immediately discharged as there was nothing found to be wrong with her. The doctor told Liam he would send the result of the test to him once it was out. Liam stayed around for the next two days, and Scarlett found she did not experience any sort of migraine. However, to her dismay, the pain immediately kicked in a little over thirty minutes of Liam stepping out of the house. She did not want to believe he was the reason the migraine disappeared for a few hours.In a moment of sheer desperation, Scarlett found herself on the brink of taking an overdose of painkillers, hoping that it would provide some relief from the excruciating pain. The thought of dulling the pain, even temporarily, consumed her mind. The weight of the pain became unbearable, and she longed for any form of respite.Feeling trapped and overwhelmed, Scarlett's emotions reached a boiling point. She couldn't contain the frustration and agony any long
Liam could not return to Scarlett without finding out how wolfsbane got into her body. The person who has been feeding Scarlett this wolfsbane must have access to an alpha. According to the estimated time the doctor gave him about when Scarlett started digesting it into her system, it was less than two weeks after he picked her to be his chosen Luna and mate. He wondered who this person in his pack that betrayed him and was working with another alpha was. He also wondered who this alpha was that decided to attack him through his chosen mate. What was this unknown alpha's plan? Liam asked Jama to add Noah to the call, and they all switched to video call. Immediately Noah's face appeared on Liam's screen and everything that had been going on was briefly explained to him, he said, “It's Olivia. It's her, I'm sure of it” Liam sighed as he tiredly massaged his forehead, “Noah, I know you don't like Olivia, but this is not a time to blindly throw accusations.” Noah shook his head, "You
