โEveryone, good eveningโฆโA 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 couldnโt find her.โWelcome to my event! My name is Solen Madrid from Madrid Enterprise,โ she said, as she turned to face her guests tonight. โI 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 donโt worry, I am the real Solen Madrid. Enjoy the party!โPeople applauded and congratulated her. She only smiled, but she was more interested in the Knights.โOh, there she is,โ said the woman who was drinking outside the event.โShe even made up lies to conceal her true colors!โThe woman smirked and focused on Solen Madrid, who was excited about what was going to happen tonight.***โIโm not certain, but I have a bad feeling right now,โ said Lux.โYeah, she took a long time to come out, and all sheโs 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.โYou came!โScarlett smirked and leaned back in her chair, her legs crossed. โOf course, I want to meet her,โ she said with a smile.As they spotted Scarlettโs some pals, they just shook their heads.โF-ck! I knew it! No one can block me except Claire,โ Sander grumbled in the monitor room. Sandro patted his shoulder.They noticed Aaron appeared to be fine.โAre you okay, Aaron?โ asked Lux, concerned about her cousin.Solen was startled and looked at Aaron with wide eyes, since it was obvious Aaron was fine.โYeah, Iโm still aliveโฆโ 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. โI-I poisoned you!โ Solen yelled, covering her mouth as she realized she had said the wrong thing.The Knights tur
DOMINICโs POVI woke up with the sunโs 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 wasnโt by my side.โDamn!โI jumped out of bed and dressed. Last night felt like the last moment we talked. I also assume she will leave me again.โOh, son?โWhen I saw Mom, I went down the stairs and approached her right away.โHave you seen Scarlett?โMom came to a halt, startled. โHuh?โI frowned at her reaction, wondering if mom was up to something.โHave you seen her?โ I asked, shaking mom, but she couldn't look at me. โMom!โ I yelled.She sighed and smiled before touching my cheek.โLetโs eat. Iโll make you something to eat,โ she said as she caressed my cheek and proceeded to the dining area.I just followed her with a frown, since she was odd.โDo you know where Scarlett is? Isnโt she back at the mansion?โI was hoping mom would respond, but she didnโt because she was still taking care of my food.โIf you do
THIRD POVโD-DominicโฆโDominic paused and looked up, but when he saw Sophia, he lost his appetite.โWhat are you doing here? Isnโt enough what I told you?โ 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 stubbornโฆโI know youโre busy, so Iโd like you to relax,โ Sophia said as she sat on Dominicโs lap.โW-what the hell!โ he yelled, pushing Sophia. โWhat are you doing, huh?!? Get out!โ he yelled, pointing to the door, but Sophia still didnโt leave, which irritated him even more.โD-Dominic, I told you Iโm the only one who can satisfy all of your needs,โ said Sophia as she approached Dominic. โThis is my body; I will give it to you because we have nowhere to go, and we can no longer enter the mansion.โโSophia,โ he took a deep breath. โStop it. Iโve told you many times, but you didnโt listen. Please, I need to fi
Dominic stormed out of his office and saw his secretary, who it surprised.โS-Sir?โโCancel all my meetings,โ he said, wearing his suit. His secretaryโs eyes widened, and he stood up.โBut, sirโฆโHe looked at his secretary, and his secretary bowed.โI need to do something important, and I know I can count on you,โ he smiled. When his secretary nodded, he patted him on the back.โIf anyone comes looking for me, please tell them I went somewhere.โHis 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 werenโt many people when he entered an exclusive bar because it was early and the bar wasnโt really open yet, so he just went straight to where Scarlett was.Dominic also noticed Scarlett, whoโd been stunned while holding a wineglass.He sighed and came
SCARLETTโS POV(A/n: This was before Scarlettโs leaving and her last conversation with Dominic.)โWaitโฆ Why now?โI sighed and turned to face Claire.โDominic will not stop as long as I am here.โShe chuckled and pointed at me.โThat fool really loves you, doesnโt he? Heโll do anything to please you.โIn annoyance, I kicked her and crossed my arms.โDamn, why is he so annoying?!?โClaire giggled and wrapped her arms around me.โThatโs why you liked Dominic because he was annoying, right, Mrs. Stone?โ asked Claire with a smile, which irritated me.โShut the f-ck up, Perkins!โ I yelled, but she just laughed.โLet him be; he appears to be regretting what he did.โI sighed and leaned in my swivel chair.โItโs difficult Claire, especially now that I donโt know the safety of my children, so Iโll entrust the children to him,โ I said, looking at the white board filled in pictures of Madrid Enterprise members.โIt looks Solen is quiet now,โ she said suddenly, which made me think.Solen went si
โWeโve arrived!โI smirked as it amazed me at the beauty of the island.โNice!โI smirked and straightened up as the chopper had landed. I even turned to look at the siblings who were sitting.โDonโt you have a paper works?โ I asked. The siblings smirked at me.โThere are many people who will work for me,โ said Erin, pointing to my forehead before taking my luggage and carrying it himself.I winced because occasionally, you just envy them because their lives appear to be easy. TSK.โI have many people who can handle that,โ said Rios as he drew Dane into the hotel.I shook my head before following them. Maybe I would appreciate it if you had a lot of staff that could handle all the work you can leave, TSK.โWelcome to San Martin!โI smiled and nodded to the hotel managers who greeted us.I went inside the hotel. โNot bad,โ I mumbled.The manager has already escorted us to our room, and I donโt see anyone else here. Carter appears to have planned for our arrival.I blinked as I realized
DOMINICโS POVโThe person youโre trying to reach is not availableโฆโDarn it, one more time!โThe person youโre trying to reach is not availableโฆโDamn you, Scarlett! Where are you?!?I tried calling her again, but I couldnโt reach her, F-ck! You canโt just ignore me again. I got another beer and drank it; I need to talk to Scarlett again; we havenโt done talked yet.When my phone rang as I sat down, I answered it, thinking it was Scarlett.โScarlett!โ(โDo I look like Scarlett?โ)I frowned and looked at the phone, wondering who it was.โClaire, huh?โ(โOh, you canโt believe Iโd call you?!?โ)I rolled my eyes, since I wanted to avoid talking to her.โWhat do you need?โ(โOh, f-ck, you asshole! Pick up the kids here! Scarlett entrusted her children to you! I canโt look after them because I have work!โ)I winced and moved my phone away from my ear because the volume of her voice was causing my eardrums to burst.โCan you calm downโโ I froze, and my eyes widened as I remembered what she s
12 years later...SCARLETTโs POVโMom, weโve arrived!โโOMG! I canโt wait to go shopping!โโAre you going shopping again?โโKJ!โBecause I could hear Carrie, and Taraโs 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 childโs 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 didnโt 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.โMom.โIn shock, I jumped and hit Agustin. Iโm also confused why heโs taller than his father. He is obviously not 18 years old.โAre you all right?โI nodded and gripped his arm. He also did not inherit his fatherโs mischievousness, as it appears, he inherited it from brother C
While Scarlett continues to search for Ferdinand.โFerdinand!โ she yelled, shooting at those on display throughout the quarters. โYou asshole! Get out! Face me!โ 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.โGrandpaโฆโ Scarlett whispered as she walked up to the window, grabbed the leashโs hook, and climbed out. โYou canโt run away, Ferdinand!โ she exclaimed as she ran towards her last opponent. She took a stone and threw it at Ferdinandโs head.โAre you going to run away?!? Arenโt you tired of running away over and over?!?โ Scarlett yelled, grabbing her gun from her boots.โI will not let you live! I will send Verno to hell!โ 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 Ferdinandโs vigorous men. A group of choppers stopped them, all of which carried their family's logo.โRios!โโWhat are you doing here, Dad?โโI donโt want to be late for the party! Iโm not Eronus with arthritis!โRios shook his head because he knew their father was a nasty.โDad has arthritis?โ asked Eron, his eyes widening. Aaron smacked him.โYouโre crazy! Dadโs just busy at work!โ Aaron exclaimed. โBecause youโre entrusting your job to our father!โRios shook his head as his cousins and their parents gave him a headache.โDad!โRios winced as his younger sister hugged their father. He sighed and told his companions that now was not the time for them to reunite.โThere are more foes, idiot!โ he exclaimed.Eros grabbed his chest and Alessandroโs shirt.โAl, whatโs the matter with Rios? Carlito is his father!โโFโck off! Donโt pull on my shirts.โRios screamed rudely and left his cousins and their parents because it would only ge
SCARLETTโs POVI took a deep breath and began organizing the items we were going to bring. I'm eager to get to Ferdinandโs 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.โShouldnโt we tell Scarlett the truth right now? Do we need to wait for her to remember?โI frowned and moved closer to the door to look at them. I noticed they were arguing.โAraโฆโโYou donโt get it; tell her the truth! Scarlett is in too much pain!โโAra is right; I was mistaken in blaming everything on Scarlett because I forgot that our family and Ferdinand had a long history of conflict.โBecause 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 POVโHow did the chairman go missing? They said heโd be here, so how did he go missing?!โโI donโt know,โ Lux shrugged, โbut mom told me the chairman didnโt get on the chopper that was prepared for him.โScarlett frowned at Lux, knowing she had a hint, but not wanting to act either.โScarlett is right! This is a trap!โ 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.โDonโt tell me you had doubts about me?โ she asked. Except for Rianne, her cousins all turned away.โMaybe? Everything is happening because of you,โ said Rianne, glaring at Scarlett.It took a back, Scarlett and looked at her cousin. Rios scolded the younger sister.โRianne, shut up.โRianne shook her head and approached Scarlett, pointing to her. โDonโt protect her! Donโt defend her! We all know why this is happening in our family because of her!โ she yelled as Rios pulled her away, but she struggle
I was about to return to our hotel room when my name was called.โScarlett.โWhen I saw him, I turned and frowned. โYou said weโd just meet at the fiesta,โ I said. He shook his head and grins.โDamn that bitch! She follows me everywhere!โI 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 wouldnโt think anything was mistaken. Sheโs annoying!I just sighed and shook my head. โSo, what do you need from me?โ 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. โHmmโฆโ I sat on the bed, staring at him.โDo you have a new lead to help my cousin in escaping?โ I asked. He sat on the sofa as raising his hand.โHmmโฆ before that, I know you heard everything from Andre.โI came to a halt and nodded to him. Is there anything else I need t
SCARLETTโs POVI woke up because of the sunlight after being in my room for several days. Iโm not sure what Iโm afraid of. To find out the truth, or where will my anger lead me? I shook my head, not sure.Perhaps Iโm 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 didnโt remember? But if I donโt remember everything, I wonโt 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.โWho is this?โ 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 didnโt save it.โWhat do you need, and why did you call right now?โHe laughed as if he were happ
SCARLETTโs POVIโm 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 donโt let me play with other kids, and they also donโt 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 couldnโt talk for a few days, and I saw my cousins practicing for something I donโt understand. They invited me several times, but I declined each time. All I know is that I need to be alone. I donโt want to talk to anyone, and I donโt 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 Iโd 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 sheโs hiding something.That situation playe
Ander grabbed her as she struggled to get close to Erin. โLet me go! Who are you?!?โ yelled Scarlett, but Ander was still attempting to pull her away.โIโm going to get Erin back! Let me go!โ she screamed, but Ander wouldnโt let her go.They also felt that someone was following them, so Ander quickly covered Scarlettโs mouth. โIf you donโt want them to catch you, stay quiet,โ Ander whispered. Scarlett remained silent because her protest was pointless because they were already far away.When they couldnโt hear anyone else, Ander dragged Scarlett out of the building. They saw Jaguar waiting for them.โScarlett.โSomething took a back jaguar when he saw Scarlett, who was silent along with Ander.โMaster, Iโll help,โ Ander said to Jaguar as he assisted Scarlett in getting into his car. โIโll look after Erin,โ he added. Jaguar raised his eyebrows and smirked.โAre you still madly in love with him?โAnder turned away from Jaguar. โMaybe. Go, leave this building.โJaguar tapped Ander on the
