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
*** STILL FLASHBACK“Josephine…”Josephine tightened her fist, and their men halted. She glanced towards Verno's room because of her concern for Scarlett.“This isn’t what we’re talking about! You said we’d talk! I agree with you, Fernando!” Josephine exclaimed, but Fernando approached her.“No! You’re coming with me right now!” Fernando drew her in, but she struggled in his grip.“Lady Josephine!”Fernando slaughtered the men who approached her.“What the hell, Fernando! I’m not going with you! It’s clear what we’re talking about!” Josephine flinched and glared at Fernando.“What?!?”Josephine took a deep breath. “I told you to stop exacting revenge on Verno! I asked you to stop!” she sobbed. Fernando grew angrier and tightened his grip on Josephine’s wrist.“I won’t stop until I get you back from him!”Josephine stepped back and cried, shaking her head. “Enough already, Brother!”Fernando was stunned, and his face softened when he saw Josephine crying, but the plan to reclaim Joseph
THIRD POVAfter listening to everything Ferdinand had to say, his hatred for the old man grew even stronger. Ferdinand paid no attention to his grandmother’s screams.His fists clenched, and he punched the chair, but he screamed in pain, “Damn! F-ck! F-ck!” He touched his lips as they bled again.“My handsome face it ruined! Damn you, old man!” he shouted, wiping the blood from his lips as he leaned against the wall and remembered what Ferdinand had told him.“Did grandma really know that would happen? She also knows what will happen to her?” he pondered as things became even more complicated.He also discovered that his grandmother and Ferdinand were siblings.“Is there anything we don’t know? Why did the chairperson keep everything hidden from us? How did he do these things? Do our parents know anything about this?” He asked, looking up and staring at the ceiling.He needs an explanation from their grandfather why he betrayed them, but he can’t get one while imprisoned. Furthermore,
“What’s up, Jaguar? I’ve been waiting here for a while.”She also just sat there and watched Jaguar eat, and from what she could describe, Jaguar was a nobleman, who had obviously studied proper etiquette.“Easy,”She rolled her eyes, moved a bit, and touched on the table since Jaguar moved, as if he wasn't a man. Scarlett just rolled her eyes and gasped in the air. She just checked her watch and noticed she'd been waiting for Jaguar for two hours.“Where are we again?” asked Jaguar after finishing his meal.Scarlett winced and took a deep breath before taking the knife from the table and pointing it at Jaguar, who raised an eyebrow at her.“Are you fooling me?” asked Scarlett. Jaguar winced, swallowed, and drank his wine because he’s happy with their conversation.“Ahh… The battle at the festival? That’s what people here are used to; they bet on the contestants they want.”Scarlett placed the knife on the table and leaned back in her chair.“Many business executives come to the islan
They were quiet because of what the chairman had told them. However, Hill broke the silence.“23 years ago. That’s why you and Scarlett don’t want to remember everything because she witnessed Grandma’s death,” Hill stated. The chairman shook his head, recalling Scarlett’s condition.“No, it’s not that. Scarlett had trauma back then, she couldn’t talk and was always crying, and I’m afraid that when she remembers what happened, I’m not sure what she can do to that person.” said the chairman. “Scarlett loves your grandma, as does Josephine, who loves Scarlett,” he smiled bitterly.“Something bad may happen to your cousin when she remembers everything; that is why I am here today in front of you to tell you the truth and to correct all the mistakes I have made in this family.”They came to a halt because the chairman never smiled at them.“I thought if I followed this family’s law, everything would be fine, but I made a mistake because the family I wanted to be perfect is slowly getting d
Scarlett peered through her room door as her friends created a plan to save Erin. She did not know how to always get away from her companions.She checked her watch and her phone, then noticed the Jaguar had sent her another message.“Damn it,” she muttered as she shut the door to her room and walked around in front of her bed, unsure of what to do.Dominic may follow her wherever she goes when she leaves her room because she knows her ex-husband will interfere with what she does.“What the f-ck is he doing here? TSK!”Scarlett stomped in annoyance as she lay down on her bed, unable to move because her ex-husband was here. Dominic’s stubbornness can have terrible outcomes.She was running out of time and couldn’t wait to see Erin.Scarlett sighed and stood from her bed to leave her room. She only needs to plan her escape from her cousin.“Oh, Scarlett? We have a plan! Want to hear it?”Everyone was staring at her, so she just raised her eyebrows and drank some water to hide the fact t
“Where are we now?” asked Scarlett. Jaguar turned to her to keep her silent, knowing that someone else would hear them.“Shh… Do you see that?” he's pointing to the darkness area. Scarlett frowned and narrowed her eyes to see what Jaguar was on about.“Oh, what’s the matter with—” she paused when Jaguar spoke.“That’s where Erin it detained.”Scarlett’s eyes widened as she looked at Jaguar, who smirked. “His cell is guarded, and Ander, one of the mastermind’s confidants, is still there.”Scarlett raised her brows when she heard the name again. “Ander? Hmm, sounds familiar, but let's hurry! Or maybe something is wrong with Erin!” she exclaimed. Jaguar nodded, and they came to a halt to one side.“Stay here. I’ll deal with the guards first,” Jaguar stated. Scarlett blinked and fixed her gaze on the young man.“Huh?”Scarlett’s grip on Jaguar’s hand tightened, causing him to shake his head.“Don’t worry, you won’t be seen here; you’re a Knight. This is simple.” Jaguar smirked and let go
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
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
