“Ah!” Scarlet shrieked horrifyingly and she blinked her eyes open when she felt no pain. She was alive! It turned out that Sally didn't shot her but instead, she had shot the bullet into the air. “It's good to know how much I frightened you, so if you want to live long; stay AWAY from Nicolas or I won't hesitate to even kill you stupid kids!” Sally threatened and she put the gun into her purse. She walked away but knowingly bumped her shoulder against Scarlet, and Scarlet fell down on the ground. “Oh my God!” Scarlet breathed out in relief, she was holding her chest which was beating faster and her breathing was heightened. Just as Scarlet stood to her feet, her phone started to ring in her pocket and she hurriedly brought it and gazed at the screen. ‘Dolly my bestie’ was displaying on the Caller ID and Scarlet knew it was Dolly calling her. There is no doubt she might be calling her because of the twins. Scarlet promptly picked the call and she places the phone on her right e
“Daddy!” Taylor smiled happily as he sprang to his feet and rushed towards him. As much as Nicolas was astonished to see his son in his company, he didn't let it show as he bent and picked up the boy into his arms just as he got to him. Everyone was astoundingly surprised as they watch both father and son; the president has a son?! “P-please sir, forgive me!” The security was begging with tears in his eyes, he was now kneeling as he pleaded for forgiveness. “You are fired! Nicolas yelled in a tone of finality. Hence, he turned to face the workers who dared to mock his son. “Your salaries will suffer your stupidity!” He growled with anger and they fearfully lowered their head. “We apologize boss!” They all said in sincere unison. Everyone lowered their head in respect as they watch the boss leave the scene with his son. Magenta dared not to say a word as she walked behind her boss, she knew she had fucked up too. Somehow, a thorn of jealousy spews in her as she learned that N
“Natasha and Taylor, come over here.” Scarlet tried to calm herself down as she said. Harry slowly put Natasha down and he freely let her go meet his mother, however, Natasha was hesitating but Harry made a signal to her. “Just go, okay? Daddy loves you.” He whispered and Natasha sniffs back her tears as she went towards her mother. Scarlet held Natasha and Taylor’s hands as they stood beside her with gloomy expressions. Everyone in the restaurant was watching the scene like a movie, they were bewildered to see how much alike each twin looked like the two men. “I will like to say to both Harry and Nicolas; you both are forbidden to come close to my kids!” Scarlet stated, she eyed them dangerously before storming out of the restaurant with her children. “I will you call, Nico!” Sam hurriedly said to him. Then, he scurried out of the restaurant and went after Scarlet. Dolly to circled and went out of the restaurant. Harry and Nicolas, were left behind in the restaurant as they
#SCARLET^APARTMENT# A week passed by and the Browns family banquet is here, everyone in the city was enthusiastic and extremely pumped up. Scarlet as well was excited since she felt that if this day passes by; she will begin to prepare for her trip back to Germany. This place has exhausted her a lot and she needs a long break from all that has happened to her. Soon, it was late evening and the day was getting dark and darker with each second that passes by. “Are you going to attend the banquet tonight?” Asked Scarlet as she stepped down the stairs and joined Dolly in the living room. Dolly was sitting on the couch, watching the Browns family banquet preparation show on the TV. “No. I can’t and you know why,” Dolly rolls her eyes at her and Scarlet smiles as she sat down beside her. “We can order a babysitter if you want, you know just for tonight.” Scarlet playfully whispers into her ears. Dolly groaned as she leans her head backward on the rail of the couch, and she said, “I
“N-Nicolas, why a-are you covering u-up for that bitch, huh?” Sally shuttered, she didn’t expect him to save Scarlet’s face from the public. “I am not,” Nicolas says and he tightened his hand around Scarlet’s waist. “I am only stating the truth, young lady. Scarlet is my lovely wife and she is the mother of my children.” Sally became dumbfounded, and she nervously flaunted her hair as she felt a bit shameful. “Everyone please if you don’t mind, go inside the hall and enjoy the banquet, isn’t why we are here?” Nicolas says, trying to change the topic.The people started walking into the hall, whispering one or two words to one another as they left. “This Bitch thinks she has gotten away from this? Not to worry, I will make her pay for being so close to Nicolas,” Sally muttered evily in her head. Wanting to save her face from the public, she turns around and walked to Harry. “Let us go, baby,” She smiled prettily, locking her hand with him. Harry gave Scarlet and Nicolas a glanc
“This can’t be possible!” Mr. Oak argued vehemently and he threw a wicked glare at Scarlet. “Mother, how sure are you this commoner is the elder daughter of William? We all know very well that that little girl died years ago, didn’t we find her burnt body in the car?” Marriott, the second daughter of Mrs. Brown said to her. “Then how do you explain the white mole on her neck, huh? Veronica has the mole too, doesn’t she?” Mrs. Brown stringently said. The room became hushed, even Scarlet couldn’t say a word because she was still drowning in the sea of daze. She is related to the Browns family? How could that be possible? “Grandma is right, the lady is my elder sister and must be received in our family.” The agile voice of a young lady was heard, she was standing behind Mrs. Brown. Her name is Veronica Williams Brown, the suppose younger sister to Scarlet who was deemed to be crowned the heir to the Browns conglomerate. “I won’t accept this!” Mr. Oak is still opposed, his forehead
“What!” Some of the people in the large hall shouted shockingly at what Mrs. Brown had just said. Before anyone could take the contract, he must be married with kids. Like seriously? Everyone was surprised and taken aback by the new rule Mrs. Brown had just decreed, what could have made her change her mind? Scarlet who heard the explanation from the hall rushed out of the room, and she saw her grandma addressing the public. “... it is for the best, thank you, everyone!” Mrs. Brown smiled stunningly as she ended her speech. Veronica was standing behind her, and when she saw Scarlet, she winked secretly at her elder sister. Scarlet was swarmed with happiness about her having a sister, and she smiled back at Veronica. “Fuck.” Harry muttered from where he is sitting, he knew he have no choice but to reconcile with Scarlet and make her his wife since she has his kids. As if on cue, his eyes saw her and he stood to his feet with the intent of approaching, but he stood on track. Wil
“You both are joking, right?” Scarlet said, looking at both men as if they have gone crazy. “I am not, Scarlet.” Ford quickly said, and Scarlet eyes glowed with surprise. She couldn’t believe her ears right now. “Get lost, loser! You are interested in her because you want to win the contract!” Harry deliberately blew up Ford’s intentions toward Scarlet. “What! Is that true, boss?” Scarlet faced Fords as she became dumbfounded. “No! No! No! No! He is lying, please believe me, Scarlet. I truly love you so much, I have wanted to tell you but I have been so afraid to tell you.” Fords frantically explained himself to her, hoping she would believe him. “Lies!” Harry chuckled devilishly. Scarlet was already fuming angrily, what does her boss take her for? A puppet he can just have like that and use for his own selfish gains? “I am disappointed in you, Ford.” Scarlet growls and Ford’s face fell immediately as he became dejected. “Both of you should leave this place before I call the c
*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

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
