♣️♣️♣️♣️♣️♣️♣️ "Scarlett, get your fucking ass down here!" Mrs. Petersburg furiously shouted, she was standing down the long stairs. In five seconds, Scarlett drifted out of her room in a swift, running down the treads like a spooked cat. "Yes, mother!" Scarlett answered timidly when she reached out to her mother. She knew she was in trouble with the vicious look on her mother's face; there is no doubt that her younger sister must have lied to her again. Nonetheless, Scarlett's face was welcomed with a dirty reverberating slap! "Arg! Mother!" Scarlett shrieked painfully, and her knees dropped to the floor. She clamp her burning cheek with her palm, brushing the red spot as she tried to numb the pain."Oh, mother... Why did you have to hit her, huh?" A voice gloomily said behind Mrs. Petersburg, it was her second daughter, Sally.She was sounding sad and depressing. But hell, she wasn't feeling awful and Scarlett knew that in her mind that Sally was making jest of her. "Sally,"
“Wait!”Scarlett let out a scream, losing her balance on the railing. Not knowing that someone had been the whole time watching her and hearing the sudden voice, she was startled and soon enough, she felt herself free falling into the ocean. She was going to die, after all, she was eventually getting what she wanted, but why did a pang of regret linger in her heart?Scarlett squeezed her eyes shut, preparing herself for the impact of the cold water and the feel of drowning, but none of that happened, and confused, she peeled one eye open to take a peek.Did she grow wings and start to fly?Her gaze met the view of two big veiny hands holding onto her own. Wide-eyed and utterly befuddled, her eyes trailed up the hand, to muscled arms, to biceps straining through clothing, to broad shoulders hunched from his position, and finally to a masculine face and piercing _ocean blue_ eyes.Not aware of her gaping state, Scarlett continued to stare at the man, half of his face shadowed by the str
"Do you know the darkness that you are asking for?" Nicholas asked coldly, gazing darkly at the lady as she pulls up from the bed and stood sexily in front of him. Right under his thick black brows, she slowly unclad her dress one by one. "I know what I'm asking for." She whispers in her angelic voice, now taking two steps near to him in her divine nakedness.Placing her shaky hands on his broad chest, she could almost feel his chest rumble in reaction. Scarlet knew she was intemperate but she still have her sense of reasoning, although the liquor she devoured was overwhelming her. "I think you need to take a doze,” Nicholas rasped at her, he was fighting back the impulse in him to take her as his monster which was in between his legs magnify with each second pass by. "I can't take advantage of you." "You ain't asking me for it, but I am." She hums, traveling her hands down to his zip and she rips his pants down. Nicholas waved his head in refusal, he was always good at battling
##THREE^WEEKS LATER## Scarlet was back at her parent home. However, a few days later, she fell sick and no one in the house felt concerned for her or was kind enough to take her to the hospital —not even her so-called mother. Having no option but to go to the hospital all by herself, she was driven by the family driver to the city hospital where the doctor ran a few tests for her —and it was discovered that she was pregnant! "Pre...pregnant?!" Scarlet gasped incredulously, her eyes widened in shock as she gripped the report in her hand tightly. "Yes, Miss. You are three weeks gone!" The doctor professionally said to her, staring at the young lady through his white transparent glasses which are seated on the bridge of his nose. It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured on Scarlet, hot tears fueling her eyes. Her fragile heart was pounding heavily against her ribcage to the extent that the sounds of her palpitating heart could be practically heard across the doctor's of
"It's Nicolas!" Scarlet cried breathlessly, and she tearfully watches her mother shift from her. Scarlet wasn't sure if Nicolas was the one who impregnate her, but she had queer feelings in her heart that he was the one responsible. After all, he was the first person to have sexual intercourse with her, so it was evident. And besides, there was no way she'd tell her family that she was sexually fucked by two guys, that would be degrading of her. Everyone was confused and imprecise, who was Nicolas?"Who is he?" Mr. Petersburg frowned, asking Scarlet energetically. "I know he's gonna be one of those useless losers in the streets, dad," Sally chuckled mockingly. Mrs. Petersburg glared at Scarlet, saying, "Sally you are right, he is undoubtedly a son of a nobody." Scarlet gulped drily, her heart stung, she was pained and saddened at the sneering words radiating from the people, she called her family. "N-Nicolas Brooklyn!" She shakily disclosed. What! Saying that aloud, the ambi
"You got to be kidding me, right?" Harry scornfully said to Scarlet. “No, I'm not Harry,” Scarlet replied tearfully as her lips trembled. She was with her parent in Harry's mansion, he didn't even let them come inside. So, they stood outside the pouch. “You gat to be kidding me,” Harry scoffed. "Please don't do this to me, Harry. I beg of you in Jesus' name, please don't," Scarlet pleaded. "Please don't do what exactly?" Harry frowned, "I still don't get you, Scarlet. Are you trying to tell me I'm truly the one responsible for your pregnancy?" "Y-yes, Harry." Scarlet frantically nodded her head to him. Then she desperately said, “Don't you remember the night at the clubhouse when you forced yourself on me?" All widened eyes fell on Harry, did he do that to her? “Are you stupid?” Harry was ticked off. “I don't even remember anything, girl. To be honest, you are accusing the wrong person," Scarlet's heart cracked into pieces and more tears flooded down her eyes like a river, sh
“What the hell just happened!” Scarlet was shaking fearfully as she hid at the back of the car with Dolly. Dolly was her best friend since high school, and they both had each other’s back every time. “Just keep calm, okay?” Dolly whispered to her, and Scarlet nods her head frantically. They were both carefully watching the guys in the dark, rushing over to the other road side as they entered their car and zoomed off. “Thank goodness, they are gone!” Dolly breathed out in relief as she plodded out of their hiding spot. Scarlet was still quivering, “What just happened?” Dolly turned around to face her best friend, even though it was dark –but she could sense how terrified Scarlet was. “I don't know,” She shrugged her shoulders. “But I can tell that someone wants you dead, thank goodness I arrived here fast,” she said. “M-me? B-but why?” Scarlet was surprised and horrified at the same time. Who could have wanted her dead? “I don't know,” Dolly shrugged again.Scarlet inhaled and
“Sally!” Scarlet screamed heavily, blood was running down her legs and she panicked. Sally brought out the knife from Scarlet’s belly and she chuckled evilly, smirking. “Just die!” She sneered further, and then, she threw away the knife with immense satisfaction. “H-how could you do this to me?” Scarlet shuttered, unstably shifting backward. Blood was also discharging from her belly and she quickly used her hand to cover the wounded spot, it was a painful and agonizing feeling. Scarlet felt a sharp pain circulate through her body system, which resulted in her suffering deep hurt and she feared she might have had a miscarriage. “I hate you, Scarlet, and I wish you nothing but death!” Sally growled through gritted teeth, pointing her index finger at her. Scarlet was disoriented right her, her brain went blank for a while as she labored to withstand the pangs in her belly, It was excruciating for her. “I have... I have always loved you as a sister would but... but Instead, you sta
*NICOLAS’s—ESTATE, THREE WEEKS LATER* The sun had set and the moon was high in the sky as Nicolas played with his two daughters, Natasha and Stacy. They were giggling and running around, their childish laughter filling the room with joy.Scarlet emerged from their bedroom, decked out in a stunning black dress that hugged her curves perfectly and showed all her flawlessness. Nicolas's eyes widened as he looked her up and down, his heart beating faster at the sight of her."Wow," he said, his voice filled with awe. "You look absolutely stunning, my love."Scarlet smiled, feeling her cheeks flush with pleasure.“Thank you," she said, twirling around in front of him. "I wanted to look nice for Grandma's reunion party."Nicolas grinned, his eyes still fixed on her. "Well, you definitely succeeded. I'm a lucky man to have such a beautiful wife."Scarlet blushed again, feeling a surge of love for Nicolas. She leaned in to kiss him but was interrupted by the sound of their daughters' laug
*THE—CITY HOSPITAL* Scarlet's heart raced as she stepped out of the hospital. She was finally discharged, and after weeks of being cooped up in a hospital room, she was relieved to be out in the fresh air. Just as she sauntered towards the doctor's office, she felt a twinge of pain in her chest, a reminder of the accident that had landed her in the hospital in the first place.“Sally!” She folded her hands at the thought of her. Meanwhile, Nicolas was waiting for her outside the office, his face a mix of relief and concern. “How are you feeling?" he questioned her as he gave her a hug."I'm okay, baby,” Scarlet said, trying to sound more confident than she felt. "What did the doctor say?""He said you need to take it easy for a few days, but you should be fine." Nicolas took her hand and led her toward the other ward. “Where are we going to?” Scarlet asked him. “Let's go see your grandma," he replied. “What about Taylor?” Scarlet asked, she hadn't had the time to check up on h
*THE CITY—HOSPITAL* Scarlet slowly opened her eyes, feeling a dull ache in her head. She blinked a few times, attempting to focus on her surroundings, and then she realized she was in a hospital room.Confused and extremely disoriented, Scarlet tried to sit up, but her body felt weak and sore. She groaned, falling back against the pillow, and tried to remember how she got there.As if on cue, Nicolas walked in, holding a tray of food. When he saw Scarlet's eyes open, he hurried over to her, setting the tray on the bedside table."Hey, you're awake," he said, his voice gentle and worried. "How are you feeling right now?"Scarlet scowled, still trying to process everything as she looked at him. “What happened? Why am I in the hospital?"Nicolas sat down next to her, taking her hand in his. “Love, do you remember anything?"Scarlet shook her head negatively, “No, everything is a blur."Nicolas took a deep breath, his eyes full of emotion. "There was an explosion, Scarlet. Sally kid
*THE HERITAGE—POLICE STATION* Harry sat on his bunk bed in the dimly lit jail cell, his cousin Jade sitting across from him. They spoke in hushed tones, careful not to attract the attention of the guards."Jade, I need your help," Harry said, desperation was evident in his voice."What do you need, Harry?" Jade replied, concern inscribed on his face."I need you to get me out of here, without anyone knowing. Not even the cops," Harry begged him.Jade's eyes widened in surprise. "Harry, I can't just break you out of jail. That's crazy. You need to serve your time and face the consequences of your actions." he said. "I know, I know. But you don't understand what it's like in here. It's a living hell. I can't take it anymore," Harry replied, his voice breaking.Jade sighed. He knew Harry was in a bad place, both physically and mentally. He didn't want to see his cousin suffer, but he also didn't want to risk getting in trouble himself."I'll see what I can do, Harry. But I can't make
*THE PETERSBURG FAMILY*Sally got dressed early in the morning, feeling anxious about the day. She knew she had to start her plans and put them into action. First, she has Scarlet’s two children with her, Stacy and Natasha. And as for Taylor, Draco reported to her that he is unconscious and in coma. “I will have to kill him, I want to take every source of happiness from Scarlet before aiming at her.” She had been planning this for days, and her heart was pounding. Hence, Sally hailed a taxi to the hospital.As she rode in the backseat of the taxi, Sally's mind raced with thoughts of the boy's illness. She learned that he was Scarlet's favorite child, and she felt a pang of envy as she thought about the bond they shared.If only Scarlet knew she had a third child! Finally, the taxi pulled up to the hospital. Sally stepped out onto the sidewalk and made her way to the entrance. Entering inside, she asked the receptionist for the room number."Room 307," the receptionist said,
*THE BROWN’s—RESIDENTIAL* At Mrs. Brown's residence, Scarlet, Sam, and Nicolas were anxiously waiting for the police to arrive. They were hoping the police would catch the person who had poisoned Mrs. Brown. They were also worried about her critical condition at the hospital.Veronica, on the other hand, was feeling exceedingly nervous. She was the one who had poisoned Mrs. Brown, and she was frightened that the police would find out.Mr oaks would sometimes give her a reassuring glance that everything would be fine. As soon as the police arrived, and they began interviewing everyone about what had happened. They asked the group a series of questions, trying to gather as much information as possible."Can you tell us exactly what happened?" one of the officers asked."My granny drank the wine which was meant for me and she started screaming in pain before she lost unconscious on the dining floor," Scarlet explained.“We think someone poisoned her." she added. The officers nodded
*THE CITY—HOSPITAL* The ambulance arrived at the residence and Mrs. Brown was quickly rushed into the vehicle, with Scarlet riding along with her. On the hand, Veronica and Mr. Oaks followed behind in the car. Veronica is the one driving the car. Mr. Oaks continues to rant about the red wine and how it was meant for Scarlet."How could this happen? How could she drink the wine meant for Scarlet?" Mr. Oaks fumed, his face red with anger."I don't know, Dad. I didn't mean for any of this to happen," Veronica replied, her own voice shaky. She didn't want to harm her grandma. As the ambulance drove to the hospital, the tension inside was discernible. Scarlet was worried sick about her grandmother “Oh God, please be fine, Grandma,” she held her hand. When they finally arrived at the hospital, Mrs. Brown was immediately taken into the emergency room. Scarlet and the others waited anxiously outside, their hearts heavy with worry.As they waited, Scarlet couldn't help but think about
*THE BROWN’s—FAMILY* It was a quiet morning when Veronica slowly emerged from her room. She looked disheveled and as though she had been crying. She stepped out into the hallway and looked up to see Mr. Oaks, standing in front of her with a concerned expression on his face.Mr. Oaks noticed her and immediately felt a pang of concern. He slowly approached her and asked her, "Veronica, is everything okay?"Veronica perked up her eyes at him, her eyes red from crying.She replied, “I don't know, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately.""About what, dear?" Mr. Oaks asked knowingly.Veronica hesitated for a moment before eventually speaking to him. "About what you told me the other day.” She bites her lips and added. "About you being my biological father."Mr. Oaks's heart skipped a beat. He had been dreading this moment for days. He had known that eventually, Veronica would find out the truth, and he knew he had to tell her.... but he had hoped that it wouldn't be this painful.Gazi
*SAM’s—MANSION* Dolly and Sam arrived home after leaving Mrs. Brown resident, and Sam parked in the parking lot. Dolly was the first to step out of the car and she walked inside. And when Sam entered, he noticed that Dolly seemed dull and moody.“Hey, what’s going on? You seem a little off,” Sam asked her as he playfully ruffled her hair.“Dont worry, it’s nothing,” Dolly forced a smile and tried to play it off, they were both standing in front of each other. Sam could tell that something was bothering her, so he pushed on, “Come on, you can tell me,” he urged.Dolly hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up, she was fiddling her fingers. “Well, I don’t know how to start... Uh, I heard Scarlet and Nicolas last night. They were, uh, intimate,” she admitted, blushing.Sam’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. “Oh... I see. And that bothered you?”Dolly nodded, looking embarrassed. “Yeah. I don’t know why, but it made me feel... aroused. And it’s been a while since we’ve been inti
