(A/n: “This is the story of Scarlett's parents. I put them so you can also know about them.”)THIRD POV*** FLASHBACK28 years ago…Scarlett’s parents’ history.“N-negative,” said Sharlene while crying. She was depressed as she sat on the bed, holding the pregnancy test.“Damn it!”Sharlene kept her mouth shut because she and her husband have yet to have a child. They’ve been married for a few years and tried to have a child, but it’s still not been granted to them.She might never become pregnant, and Vernon might end up leaving her if she cannot conceive. Sharlene, it seems to lose hope.She loves her husband and worries that he will abandon her.“Sharlene?”She wiped away her tears and turned to face their mother.“Lady Josephine,”Josephine sat next to Sharlene while smiling.“It’s negative,” said Sharlene. Josephine came to a halt because of what she had heard, but she only smiled at Sharlene.“Perhaps now isn’t the time for you and Vernon to have a child,” said Josephine. Sharle
Vernon Knight is the third generation of his family, but he chose not to take over as chairperson because he wanted to provide for his wife and their future child because his siblings have their own families. He is the only one on whom the father can rely for their business.So, it is in their law that they may not have a mistress and to love and care for their wife as the chairperson did for their mother, Josephine.“Vernon…”Vernon returned to his work after looking at his wife. “Hmm?”Sharlene bit her lower lip and approached her husband, who was still at work, although it was late at night.“I understand you’re busy, but…”Sharlene closed her eyes because it embarrassed her about what she wanted to do because it was not her habit.“Hmm… Do you want to do it?” asked Vernon, smirking.Her eyes widened, and she shook her head, but Vernon smirked at him and kissed Sharlene, so Sharlene did nothing but go with the flow because she missed the warmth of her husband’s kiss.Sharlene had j
THIRD POVThe night they’ve been expecting has arrived. The clash between the Knights and Solen Madrid.“There are so many people here! We can’t move!” Lux grumbled, adjusting with her earbuds. Her cousins were covering their ears, because of her voice.“Don’t be so loud, Lux!”“Your voice is irritating my ears!”Lux sighed and rolled her eyes. “Whatever!” She crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, while Ara, who was already bored, sat next to her.“Boring! Isn’t Solen here yet? Isn’t she going to introduce herself?” asked Ara.Lux rolled her eyes once again.“Perhaps she’s planning how to trap us in her event,”Ara smirked and took a glass of wine from a server.“Trap, huh? Did she really plan the event for the Knights? Oh, she looks pathetic,” she smirked. “Brother Carter is correct! She is still new to this, TSK.” She had just finished her wine.Lux frowned because Ara appeared to be drunk.“Arabelle!”Ara raised an eyebrow at her. “What?”Lux sighed and shook her head. “Ho
“Everyone, good evening…”A woman wearing a mask appeared. When she saw the Knights with emotionless eyes just staring at her, she smiled, but she was looking for someone but couldn’t find her.“Welcome to my event! My name is Solen Madrid from Madrid Enterprise,” she said, as she turned to face her guests tonight. “I know many of you are wondering who the woman you are seeing dressed as Solen Madrid is. She just pretended to be me, probably because she was greedy, but don’t worry, I am the real Solen Madrid. Enjoy the party!”People applauded and congratulated her. She only smiled, but she was more interested in the Knights.“Oh, there she is,” said the woman who was drinking outside the event.“She even made up lies to conceal her true colors!”The woman smirked and focused on Solen Madrid, who was excited about what was going to happen tonight.***“I’m not certain, but I have a bad feeling right now,” said Lux.“Yeah, she took a long time to come out, and all she’s going to say is
It took a back Solen when she discovered what she had been looking for. She turned to face the Knights, believing that everything was planned by them, as well as clenched her fist, unsure what to do.“You came!”Scarlett smirked and leaned back in her chair, her legs crossed. “Of course, I want to meet her,” she said with a smile.As they spotted Scarlett’s some pals, they just shook their heads.“F-ck! I knew it! No one can block me except Claire,” Sander grumbled in the monitor room. Sandro patted his shoulder.They noticed Aaron appeared to be fine.“Are you okay, Aaron?” asked Lux, concerned about her cousin.Solen was startled and looked at Aaron with wide eyes, since it was obvious Aaron was fine.“Yeah, I’m still alive…” Aaron smirked at his cousins and winked at Solen, who remained silent.She shook her head, unable to believe that her plan had turned out so badly. “I-I poisoned you!” Solen yelled, covering her mouth as she realized she had said the wrong thing.The Knights tur
DOMINIC’s POVI woke up with the sun’s rays on my skin, so I closed my eyes and held my head while suffering from a hangover.Damn it!My heart raced as I realized Scarlett wasn’t by my side.“Damn!”I jumped out of bed and dressed. Last night felt like the last moment we talked. I also assume she will leave me again.“Oh, son?”When I saw Mom, I went down the stairs and approached her right away.“Have you seen Scarlett?”Mom came to a halt, startled. “Huh?”I frowned at her reaction, wondering if mom was up to something.“Have you seen her?” I asked, shaking mom, but she couldn't look at me. “Mom!” I yelled.She sighed and smiled before touching my cheek.“Let’s eat. I’ll make you something to eat,” she said as she caressed my cheek and proceeded to the dining area.I just followed her with a frown, since she was odd.“Do you know where Scarlett is? Isn’t she back at the mansion?”I was hoping mom would respond, but she didn’t because she was still taking care of my food.“If you do
THIRD POV“D-Dominic…”Dominic paused and looked up, but when he saw Sophia, he lost his appetite.“What are you doing here? Isn’t enough what I told you?” asked Dominic. Sophia bowed her head and approached Dominic, who gave her a frown.Dominic massaged his forehead, getting more irritated with Sophia. He pushed her several times, but instead of quitting, the woman became more stubborn…“I know you’re busy, so I’d like you to relax,” Sophia said as she sat on Dominic’s lap.“W-what the hell!” he yelled, pushing Sophia. “What are you doing, huh?!? Get out!” he yelled, pointing to the door, but Sophia still didn’t leave, which irritated him even more.“D-Dominic, I told you I’m the only one who can satisfy all of your needs,” said Sophia as she approached Dominic. “This is my body; I will give it to you because we have nowhere to go, and we can no longer enter the mansion.”“Sophia,” he took a deep breath. “Stop it. I’ve told you many times, but you didn’t listen. Please, I need to fi
Dominic stormed out of his office and saw his secretary, who it surprised.“S-Sir?”“Cancel all my meetings,” he said, wearing his suit. His secretary’s eyes widened, and he stood up.“But, sir…”He looked at his secretary, and his secretary bowed.“I need to do something important, and I know I can count on you,” he smiled. When his secretary nodded, he patted him on the back.“If anyone comes looking for me, please tell them I went somewhere.”His secretary nodded once again, and he left the office to meet with Scarlett.He got into his car and drove to the location where Scarlett was waiting for him.While he was nervous and anxious because Scarlett wanted to meet him. He also at a loss for what to say to the person he loves.There weren’t many people when he entered an exclusive bar because it was early and the bar wasn’t really open yet, so he just went straight to where Scarlett was.Dominic also noticed Scarlett, who’d been stunned while holding a wineglass.He sighed and came
12 years later...SCARLETT’s POV“Mom, we’ve arrived!”“OMG! I can’t wait to go shopping!”“Are you going shopping again?”“KJ!”Because I could hear Carrie, and Tara’s voices, I removed my sleeping mask. We left the country a long time ago and are now returning. Because Claire is pregnant with her third child and wants me to be her youngest child’s godmother. Even though she was old, she still had a child.I assumed Erin was the one she was going to marry because my cousin and Claire had an affair as well, but their relationship didn’t work out, so it was best for them to just split up. Erin is glad that Ander is now with him. Gosh, Erin and Rios are the same. Poor uncle Eros, no one will even extend his race.“Mom.”In shock, I jumped and hit Agustin. I’m also confused why he’s taller than his father. He is obviously not 18 years old.“Are you all right?”I nodded and gripped his arm. He also did not inherit his father’s mischievousness, as it appears, he inherited it from brother C
While Scarlett continues to search for Ferdinand.“Ferdinand!” she yelled, shooting at those on display throughout the quarters. “You asshole! Get out! Face me!” she yelled as she blew up the build with the last of the bombs.Scarlett came to a halt when she heard a helicopter. Her eyes widened, and she peered out the window, but it surprised her when she saw Ferdinand dragging the chairman Knight.“Grandpa…” Scarlett whispered as she walked up to the window, grabbed the leash’s hook, and climbed out. “You can’t run away, Ferdinand!” she exclaimed as she ran towards her last opponent. She took a stone and threw it at Ferdinand’s head.“Are you going to run away?!? Aren’t you tired of running away over and over?!?” Scarlett yelled, grabbing her gun from her boots.“I will not let you live! I will send Verno to hell!” Ferdinand yelled, pointing his gun at Verno.Scarlett came to a halt as she noticed chairman Knight struggling to breathe. She tightened her fist, prepared her gun, and sh
THIRD POVWhile the other Knights are fighting against Ferdinand’s vigorous men. A group of choppers stopped them, all of which carried their family's logo.“Rios!”“What are you doing here, Dad?”“I don’t want to be late for the party! I’m not Eronus with arthritis!”Rios shook his head because he knew their father was a nasty.“Dad has arthritis?” asked Eron, his eyes widening. Aaron smacked him.“You’re crazy! Dad’s just busy at work!” Aaron exclaimed. “Because you’re entrusting your job to our father!”Rios shook his head as his cousins and their parents gave him a headache.“Dad!”Rios winced as his younger sister hugged their father. He sighed and told his companions that now was not the time for them to reunite.“There are more foes, idiot!” he exclaimed.Eros grabbed his chest and Alessandro’s shirt.“Al, what’s the matter with Rios? Carlito is his father!”“F–ck off! Don’t pull on my shirts.”Rios screamed rudely and left his cousins and their parents because it would only ge
SCARLETT’s POVI took a deep breath and began organizing the items we were going to bring. I'm eager to get to Ferdinand’s quarters and anxious about my grandfather, mother, and children.So, I grabbed the necklace Carrie had given me and closed my eyes, not knowing what to do first. My plans are no longer being carried out. Damn. I clenched my fists and reloaded my weapons because I wanted to confront Ferdinand myself.I only came to a halt when I heard shouting.“Shouldn’t we tell Scarlett the truth right now? Do we need to wait for her to remember?”I frowned and moved closer to the door to look at them. I noticed they were arguing.“Ara…”“You don’t get it; tell her the truth! Scarlett is in too much pain!”“Ara is right; I was mistaken in blaming everything on Scarlett because I forgot that our family and Ferdinand had a long history of conflict.”Because of what I heard, my eyes widened, and I covered my mouth. What does Dianne mean? Ferdinand and our family have been in conflic
THIRD POV“How did the chairman go missing? They said he’d be here, so how did he go missing?!”“I don’t know,” Lux shrugged, “but mom told me the chairman didn’t get on the chopper that was prepared for him.”Scarlett frowned at Lux, knowing she had a hint, but not wanting to act either.“Scarlett is right! This is a trap!” Ara yelled.They all looked at Scarlett, confused, because she had said that it would set a trap for their grandfather.She came to a halt and frowned at her cousins.“Don’t tell me you had doubts about me?” she asked. Except for Rianne, her cousins all turned away.“Maybe? Everything is happening because of you,” said Rianne, glaring at Scarlett.It took a back, Scarlett and looked at her cousin. Rios scolded the younger sister.“Rianne, shut up.”Rianne shook her head and approached Scarlett, pointing to her. “Don’t protect her! Don’t defend her! We all know why this is happening in our family because of her!” she yelled as Rios pulled her away, but she struggle
I was about to return to our hotel room when my name was called.“Scarlett.”When I saw him, I turned and frowned. “You said we’d just meet at the fiesta,” I said. He shook his head and grins.“Damn that bitch! She follows me everywhere!”I came to a halt because it seems he was bringing up Sophia. That's why, when I saw Jaguar, he was with someone else, just so Sophia wouldn’t think anything was mistaken. She’s annoying!I just sighed and shook my head. “So, what do you need from me?” I asked. He turned around and motioned for me to follow him into a hotel room.I raised an eyebrow, but I just followed him in case he had a new lead to help Erin escape.I examined the room because it resembled the one he had booked. “Hmm…” I sat on the bed, staring at him.“Do you have a new lead to help my cousin in escaping?” I asked. He sat on the sofa as raising his hand.“Hmm… before that, I know you heard everything from Andre.”I came to a halt and nodded to him. Is there anything else I need t
SCARLETT’s POVI woke up because of the sunlight after being in my room for several days. I’m not sure what I’m afraid of. To find out the truth, or where will my anger lead me? I shook my head, not sure.Perhaps I’m just worried about Erin, as well as the fight between Rios and me. He makes some sense. I just sent too much in the gust of my emotions, and perhaps out of frustration, I aimed my anger at him.And could my dreams be linked to what happened then, besides the fact that Grandma was killed? Is that why Mom did everything, just to make sure I didn’t remember? But if I don’t remember everything, I won’t know who killed Grandma or what happened.When my phone rang, I came to a halt and stretched before reaching for my phone to answer who was calling.“Who is this?” I asked on the other line, as I was not in the mood. I recognized the laugh. I frowned and looked at the number, but I didn’t save it.“What do you need, and why did you call right now?”He laughed as if he were happ
SCARLETT’s POVI’m uncertain if anything will change or if I will change.They have been very protective of me since I was a child. Particularly, my mother. They don’t let me play with other kids, and they also don’t let me be alone in the mansion.It started when I woke in the hospital. I felt nothing else, and I thought it was stupid that my family was always worried about me.I couldn’t talk for a few days, and I saw my cousins practicing for something I don’t understand. They invited me several times, but I declined each time. All I know is that I need to be alone. I don’t want to talk to anyone, and I don’t want to hear anything.They stated I had changed. I am no longer Scarlett, the cheerful and dumb child who didn't understand what they were up to.I also feel like I forgot something, and I’d like to know why I was in the hospital and what I was doing there. So, I tried to talk to mom about it, but she always avoids the topic, as if she’s hiding something.That situation playe
Ander grabbed her as she struggled to get close to Erin. “Let me go! Who are you?!?” yelled Scarlett, but Ander was still attempting to pull her away.“I’m going to get Erin back! Let me go!” she screamed, but Ander wouldn’t let her go.They also felt that someone was following them, so Ander quickly covered Scarlett’s mouth. “If you don’t want them to catch you, stay quiet,” Ander whispered. Scarlett remained silent because her protest was pointless because they were already far away.When they couldn’t hear anyone else, Ander dragged Scarlett out of the building. They saw Jaguar waiting for them.“Scarlett.”Something took a back jaguar when he saw Scarlett, who was silent along with Ander.“Master, I’ll help,” Ander said to Jaguar as he assisted Scarlett in getting into his car. “I’ll look after Erin,” he added. Jaguar raised his eyebrows and smirked.“Are you still madly in love with him?”Ander turned away from Jaguar. “Maybe. Go, leave this building.”Jaguar tapped Ander on the
