SCARLETT’S POV(A/n: This was before Scarlett’s leaving and her last conversation with Dominic.)“Wait… Why now?”I sighed and turned to face Claire.“Dominic will not stop as long as I am here.”She chuckled and pointed at me.“That fool really loves you, doesn’t he? He’ll do anything to please you.”In annoyance, I kicked her and crossed my arms.“Damn, why is he so annoying?!?”Claire giggled and wrapped her arms around me.“That’s why you liked Dominic because he was annoying, right, Mrs. Stone?” asked Claire with a smile, which irritated me.“Shut the f-ck up, Perkins!” I yelled, but she just laughed.“Let him be; he appears to be regretting what he did.”I sighed and leaned in my swivel chair.“It’s difficult Claire, especially now that I don’t know the safety of my children, so I’ll entrust the children to him,” I said, looking at the white board filled in pictures of Madrid Enterprise members.“It looks Solen is quiet now,” she said suddenly, which made me think.Solen went si
“We’ve arrived!”I smirked as it amazed me at the beauty of the island.“Nice!”I smirked and straightened up as the chopper had landed. I even turned to look at the siblings who were sitting.“Don’t you have a paper works?” I asked. The siblings smirked at me.“There are many people who will work for me,” 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.“I have many people who can handle that,” 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.“Welcome to San Martin!”I smiled and nodded to the hotel managers who greeted us.I went inside the hotel. “Not bad,” I mumbled.The manager has already escorted us to our room, and I don’t see anyone else here. Carter appears to have planned for our arrival.I blinked as I realized
DOMINIC’S POV“The person you’re trying to reach is not available…”Darn it, one more time!“The person you’re trying to reach is not available…”Damn you, Scarlett! Where are you?!?I tried calling her again, but I couldn’t reach her, F-ck! You can’t just ignore me again. I got another beer and drank it; I need to talk to Scarlett again; we haven’t done talked yet.When my phone rang as I sat down, I answered it, thinking it was Scarlett.“Scarlett!”(“Do I look like Scarlett?”)I frowned and looked at the phone, wondering who it was.“Claire, huh?”(“Oh, you can’t believe I’d call you?!?”)I rolled my eyes, since I wanted to avoid talking to her.“What do you need?”(“Oh, f-ck, you asshole! Pick up the kids here! Scarlett entrusted her children to you! I can’t look after them because I have work!”)I winced and moved my phone away from my ear because the volume of her voice was causing my eardrums to burst.“Can you calm down—” I froze, and my eyes widened as I remembered what she s
THIRD POV“Damn it!”“Stay where you are and don’t move.”“However, m-master…”When their master gave him the death stare, Solen bowed down.“They gave you a strange drug, so you can’t go back to work yet,” he said solemnly to Solen.Solen leaned back, her entire body numb from the gun that Carter Knight had fired at her. It ruined all of her plans after the event, so it sent her back to San Martin for treatment after a strange medicine hit her entire body.As she is old, and her body will find it difficult to return to its previous state, a doctor was called to check her condition.“You bitch, Scarlett!” screamed Solen, punching her bed because she couldn’t move her legs.“I warned you, but you didn’t listen; the youngest of the Knights thinks otherwise, and you won’t know what she does next, especially since they’re quiet now.”Solen Madrid came to a halt and looked at their master, who sat in front of her.“Did you know they kicked your daughter out of the mansion?”She shook her h
THIRD POV“I’m leaving, mom,” said Dominic as he waved goodbye to his mother, who was still worried about what would happen to her son.“I’ll call, and I’ll call my children to say hello; don’t sulk.”Ashley said nothing while her son was caressing her because Dominic said nothing about leaving; she just knew when she saw him packing his belongings.“I have good news for you when I return.”Ashley only nodded, but it was clear she was still sulking with her son.“Please, just tell dad he will take care of the business, and I will return with Scarlett.”Dominic stood up, took his bag, looked at his mother again, and held her shoulder before walking out of the mansion, but his mother called him first.“Be careful, okay? You’ll be back alive, Dominic Austin,” said Ashley as she cried.Dominic burst out laughing and ran to hug his mother.“I’m not going to war, mom,” Dominic laughed, hugging his mother tightly. “But thank you so much; I promise I’ll be careful.”Ashley did nothing but nod
SCARLETT’s POV“F-ck!” I got up, holding my head because I didn’t know what had happened to me.We were in their hideout the last I remember, and Erin saved me. “Damn it, Erin, what are you doing?”“Oh, you’re awake.”As I realized who had spoken, I turned to face him. “What did you do to me?” I asked as I stood up.He smiled, but I locked my gaze on him. “What are you going to do with Erin?”He smiled again before sighing. “Don’t worry, he’s fine.”I clenched my fists and bit my lower lip. “They called you Master J earlier, which means you’re working with Solen Madrid!”I approached him to confront him because I didn’t know him and he wasn’t on Solen’s staff. I also checked each of their members, but he wasn’t on the list.“Who are you?!?”As he poured wine into the glass, he laughed.“Where am I? What happened to me? Are you planning on killing me?!?” I screamed and turned to punch him, but he grabbed my wrist quickly.He gave me a serious look. “I will not hurt you, unlike your hus
THIRD POVScarlett removed the mark on her arm before entering the suite. Jaguar didn’t put on a real tattoo on her because it seems the man wanted to tease her.“I swear, I’ll kill you! Argh!” she mumbled as she tossed the alcohol into the trash, then looked down at her swollen arm from rubbing it. “Damn, they’ll wonder what happened to my arm. TSK.”“You’re back, Scarlett.”It startled Scarlett when the door to their suite opened, so she hid her arm, so her companions wouldn’t notice. She finally entered their suite after nodding.She bit her lower lip because she wasn’t sure what she was going to tell her friend about what had happened to Erin.“Is Scarlett already here?!?”Scarlett came to a halt when she noticed Claire sitting on the sofa.“Damn you, bitch!” Claire hugged her, but Scarlett didn’t want to talk because she didn’t know what to say about what had happened.“Where is he?”Scarlett was frustrated, and tears welled up in her eyes as she remembered Erin being captured an
THIRD POVErin couldn’t believe who was standing right in front of him. He shook his head several times, as the beating had shaken his brain.“You’ve grown so well,”“Shut up! We thought you were dead!” Erin yelled as he struggled in Anderson’s grip, but it wouldn’t let him go.“Oh, Knight, I can’t die yet.”Erin was just struggling when Anderson dragged him in front of the old man.“You’re free to go, son,”“M-Master…”“He’s not going anywhere.”Anderson hesitated before leaving the old man’s office. The older man turned to face Erin.“You entered my territory mistakenly, Eric Knight,” the old man smirked as he took his cane and hit Erin on the back.“F-ck!” Erin screamed, glaring at the old man. “You even changed your name,” Erin stated. He was angered and couldn’t bear the pain in his body. “You are their master, and you cause everything; why have you returned? To bring us all down?”The old man grinned and punched Erin in the face. Erin licked his lips and spat the blood out.“Hmm
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
