Lucas POVLucas swiftly turned to face Maria immediately she entered and sat beside him in the car. His eyes were cold and this made Maria restless.“Lucas, you need to believe me. Scarlet might have bribed Clark, just so he could lie against me. I need you to trust me.”Lucas looked at her, his lips pursed. He gritted his teeth in anger.“You are such a great actress. How dare you sit beside me and look me in the eye, telling all these cock and bull stories. You know what Maria, enough of this talk. We'll discuss further when we get home. For now, I need you to stay the hell away from me.” He roared angrily, pushing Maria away.“Lucas!!! Why are you being so harsh towards me? You don't believe everything that man said, do you?” Lucas shook his head. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. He was sweating even though the AC was fully on. Will Scarlet ever forgive me? What was I thinking? I need to speak with her. Lucas was deep in thoughts. His heartbeats could nearly be heard

Scarlet's POVWhy do I still feel hurt that he is protecting Maria. He had always protected her even when we were married.“Scarl…”, Lyssa called out to her, jolting her out of her imagination. “You look disturbed, what's wrong? Aren't you happy you won the case?” Lyssa asked, peering at her face.Scarlet rubbed her forehead and let out a heavy sigh. “Ofcourse, Lyssa, I am happy. I am just tired.”“This calls for a celebration. Did you see the look on Lucas' face, oh my goodness! He looked so pitiable. I am sure he's gonna have a big fight with his so-called mistress.” Will he really fight and blame Maria this time? Scarlet was deep in thoughts. “I doubt he will do that. Lucas had always let go of whatever Maria did wrong. There's no point actually. I mean, I'm just glad the truth is out.”“But then, how did you feel,Scarlet?” “I feel good. I feel really good. Now I'm finally free from lucas' trouble and his family.”“I actually meant, how did you feel seeing Lucas again after a whi

“Your house?” Scarlet asked. “Yeah, I feel maybe we could Netflix and chill, huh!”He's your employee Scarlet, you don't have to be so nice to himScarlet could hear the thoughts in her head. She was silent for a while as she studied Peter's face. He doesn't look bad, maybe I can just while away time over at his place. Moreover, Lyssa is away for a night out with her girls.“Alright. No problem. I accept your offer.” She responded, smiling. The rest of the moment passed away in silence as they both focused on their meals. Peter stole glances at her. This act was obvious to Scarlet.“Why are you doing that?” Scarlet asked, folding her arms.“Doing what?” “You were looking at me, is anything on your mind?”“I was just admiring the beautiful human in front of me. I wonder why your ex-husband treated you like that.”“Okay okay it's enough Peter. You are still my employee and you need to respect that. Do not talk about my marital life.” “Are you mad at me?”“No, not at all. I just fee

“We shouldn't be doing this Peter.” Scarlet said in between moans. “Just relax and I will make you feel really good.” Peter replied, tracing her back with his fingers.The passion that burned through Scarlet's body left her speechless. Lucas had never made her feel that way before. Peter and Scarlet locked eyes and they both could see the burning desires in them. Peter pinned her against the wall, slightly raising her gown to reveal a pair of fair thick thighs. He slowly traced them with his fingers, sending waves of pleasure all over Scarlet.“No no Peter. Stop!,” Scarlet pushed him away, walking back to the couch.“I am sorry, I didn't mean to. I didn't know how it happened.” Peter stammered.“It's fine. I mean, I shouldn't have allowed you too. It's just a mistake, it won't happen again.” She picked up her bag and walked towards the hallway leading to the room Peter had given to her. She flung herself on the bed immediately she entered.She kicked her feet angrily into the air,

I had something to attend to.” Peter answered, his voice low.“But my men said they saw you driving with that girl.” “Don't play jokes with me Peter. I got my eyes everywhere.” He said, rising to his feet gently and slowly.He walked closer to Peter and stood in front of him smirking. “When will you carry out the task I assigned to you?”“I am on it, uncle. Just give me time.”“I don't have time anymore. I have given you enough time but you spend it going around town with her.”Peter rolled his eyes, obviously not interested in what the old man was saying.“I can't just kidnap her like that. Everyone will suspect me. They will know I did it. I am still taking my time to plan my acts well. I will strike when the time is right.” Peter said, his voice rising.The old man was Peter's uncle. He was the leader o

Lucas POVLucas pulled her close, holding her wrist tightly, “Where is my money?” He growled, his grip was painful which made her wince in pain.Maria stood transfixed, unsure of what to say and do.“I-i used it Lucas. I used it all. I'm sorry.” Maria stuttered.Lucas let out a sigh, obviously angry. He grabbed her, shaking her violently.“And you made me blame Scarlet. You made me blame her and accuse her of stealing my money. You've ruined my life ever since you came back.” He snarled.Rachel and Chloe rushed inside, dragging Lucas away from Maria.“Stop it Lucas. You don't have to be so violent towards her, even though I know what she did was so wrong.” Rachel said.Chloe shook her head, “Maria! Lucas had never been a miser. He always gives you money every time you ask for it, why did you have to steal from him?” Maria shot Chloe a pitiful look, her face looking sober, she said remorsefully, “I know what I did was wrong. But how could I ask him for money when he barely gave me atte

Maria's revelation had thrown him off balance, and he didn't know what to do.As he walked into the house, he was greeted by the cool air coming from the Air conditioner.

He asked, trying to sound calm"Where have you been? I've been all over for you." Her voice was laced with concern."I've been out with Lorenzo. Is there any problem?" He asked impatiently."It's actually about Maria.""Mom, I don't have time for this please." He said, walking away from her."Lucas, listen to me. Maria is carrying your child. I know you are upset but this pregnancy changes everything. You can't just abandon her now." Racheal said, her eyes filled with concern."I don't think the child i

The car suddenly came to a halt after colliding with a long metal pole. The car was dented so badly. Lucas stumbled out of the wreckage, his head spinning.

Scarlet's POVScarlet sat on her bed, surrounded by open suitcases and piles of clothes, as her sister Lyssa helped her pack for her upcoming trip. The two sisters chatted and laughed as they worked, their conversation flowing easily."I'm so excited for you, Scar," Lyssa said, folding a dress and placing it in the suitcase. "This is exactly what you need - a fresh start in a new place."Scarlet nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. She knew Lyssa was right, she indeed needed that relocation. "I know, I'm really looking forward to it. I feel like I've been stuck in a rut lately, and this is the perfect opportunity to start over."Lyssa smiled faintly, staring at her sister with tear filled eyes. "You're going to love it there. You'll make new friends, find new hobbies, and start a new life. You'll be so much happier without the drama of Lucas and his family."Scarlet's expression turned serious. "I'm especially looking forward to getting away from Maria. She's always been s

As Maria watched Racheal walk away, a sinister smile spread across her face. She leaned back in her chair, steepling her fingers together as she thought about the conversation they had just had."Ah, Racheal," Maria thought to herself, "you have no idea what's coming for you. You're so caught up in trying to control Lucas's life, but you're about to find out what it means to be truly controlled."Maria's smile grew wider as she thought about the leverage she had over Racheal. The videos, the bail money, it was all just the beginning. She had a plan, and it was going to play out perfectly.Meanwhile, Racheal walked out of the police station, her mind reeling with thoughts of how she was going to come up with the money to bail Maria out. She felt trapped, like she was being pulled in too many directions at once.As she walked into her house, she was greeted by Chloe, who was sitting on the couch reading a book. Chloe looked up and saw the look on Racheal's face, and her expression chang

Lucas POVLucas sat in the dimly lit room, surrounded by the shadows of his past. His mind was a jumble of emotions, thoughts, and memories. He couldn't help but think about Scarlet, about them, about what could have been.His thoughts drifted to the way she used to smile at him, the way her eyes sparkled when she laughed. He thought about the way she used to touch him, the way her skin felt against his.But most of all, he thought about the way she had walked away from him. The way she had ended things between them, without even giving him a chance to fight for them.He felt a pang of anger and hurt, but it was quickly replaced by a sense of sadness and loss. He realized that he had lost her, that she was gone and he would never get her back.As he sat there, lost in his thoughts, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. It was his mother, Racheal. She sat down beside him, putting a gentle hand on his shoulder.“Lucas, you need to stop worrying over scarlet. She has moved on, loo

As they drove through the bustling city, the sounds of honking cars and chattering pedestrians filled the air. But inside the car, there was an uncomfortable silence between Scarlet and Peter.Scarlet stared out the window, watching the cityscape blur by. She couldn't help but think about Lucas and the way he'd looked at her when she ended things. The pain and hurt in his eyes still lingered in her mind.Peter, on the other hand, seemed lost in thought, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. Scarlet couldn't help but steal glances at him, noticing the way his hair curled slightly at the nape of his neck, or the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he concentrated.The silence between them grew thicker, until Scarlet couldn't take it anymore. "Peter?" she said softly, breaking the silence.He turned to her, his eyes locking onto hers. "Yeah?" he replied, his voice low and husky.Scarlet felt a flutter in her chest, but she pushed it aside. “About earlier…what did you really wanted to s

Lucas POVHe barged into the house, aiming straight for his mother's room.“Lucas, you don't look too good. And what's up with the angry expression?” Chloe emerged, rushing towards his side.“Mother really has a lot of explanations to do. I went to the restaurant to meet scarlet, I thought we were finally going to be together,” He sniffed and wiped the sweat off his forehead. “I thought she was finally going to say those words I was eager to hear but instead,” his voice broke and trembled with emotions, choking on his tears, “She told me it was over, we can't be together anymore.”Chloe's eyes twitched, her lips slightly part open in a bid to talk but the words only got stuck in her throat. Placing a hand on his shoulder, she turned to face him, a sober expression written all over her face, “That's so painful to hear, Lucas. But you can't blame her too, you know.” Lucas glared at her, wondering where she was headed with her words.Chloe took a seat and stared at Lucas, her eyes moist

Peter leaned in, his warm breath caressing scarlet's neck as he whispered urgently into her ear.“I think you should relocate, like travel out, find somewhere else to stay and leave this goddamn place.”Scarlet heaved deeply, rolling her eyes tiredly, “You see Peter, it won't be that easy. I have to work in my father's company. I can't just leave it, they need me there.”“Scarlet, this is your mental health and security we are talking about here. I am worried, scarlet. I really do not want anything to happen to you.” Peter's voice trembled with concern as he grasped scarlet's hands fondly. Scarlet was short of words. Her gaze drifted into space, her eyes unfocused. She seemed to be meditating before responding, “I think you have a point. I will speak with uncle Thomas and grandpa too. And Lyssa...., well I hope she's gonna be okay with my decision.” Peter's grip on her hand tightened. He stared into her eyes with a deep intensity, “You mean a lot to me scarlet.”“You’ve been quite g

[The following day]“Scarlet!” Lucas exhaled, as he entered the posh restaurant. He had never looked so happy in months. “Lucas, such a gentleman. You're here at the nick of time.” Scarlet teased, offering him a seat.“Thanks for giving me the honours to see you, scarlet. You look really beautiful, like always.” Scarlet blushed, her cheeks turning a lovely shade of pink. "Thanks, Lucas. You look pretty good yourself."Lucas smiled, feeling a sense of nervous excitement. He hadn't felt this way in a long time.The waiter arrived, and they ordered their breakfast. As they waited for their food to arrive, Lucas couldn't help but steal glances at Scarlet. She looked radiant, her hair shining in the morning light."So, Scarlet," Lucas said, his voice low and husky. "I've been thinking a lot about what happened between us."Scarlet's eyes met his, a hint of wariness in their depths. "What about it? I thought we already discussed this" she asked, her voice cautious.Lucas took a deep breat

Lucas's mother turned to walk away, her back straight and her head held high. But Lucas noticed the slight tremble in her hands, the faint quiver in her voice."I'm going to my room," she said, her voice cold and detached. "I need some time alone."As she walked away, Lucas felt a pang of frustration. He wanted answers, but his mother was shutting him out.Chloe slumped into a chair, rubbing her forehead and sighing. "I don't even recognize Mom anymore," she said, her voice laced with sadness. "She's always been secretive, but this is different. It's like she's hiding something from us."Lucas nodded, his eyes fixed on the doorway where his mother had disappeared. "I know what you mean," he said, his voice low. "I feel like I'm losing her, like she's slipping away from us."Chloe looked up at him, her eyes filled with concern. "What are we going to do, Lucas?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Lucas shook his head, feeling a sense of helplessness wash over him. "I don't kno
