“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,

Peter's POV“What took you so long, Peter?” A husky voice asked. He was seated on a chair, puffing at his cigar, his back turned against Peter who had just walked in..“I was busy.

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.

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.

But how could I ask him for money when he barely gave me atte

Chloe sighed. Her face had doubts written all over it.“Why do I feel like she really didn't lose her memory?”“Chloe!,” Racheal screamed. “Don't say that. That's so bad of you.”“What mom? Maria is capable of doing this and more. I don't just trust her.”“Don't say that. She won't go to this length.

What the hell do you even want here? Stay away from me. You think after everything you can just barge your way into my life and try to make me love you?” She cried profusely as her lips quivered from her sobs.“I'm sorry, Scarlet.

Scarlet and Peter sat down in the small living room of the house, surrounded by quietness and security. Scarlet glared at Peter, waiting for him to continue talking."Don Marco, years ago, I witnessed him going to a rich man to seek money just to cure his wife, who he claimed to be my mother. He was denied access and that was how mother died. Then for days, he was in the hospital due to a sickness and just because he needed money, he went to a construction site even while sick, just to get money for my sister and I. He had a stroke which didn't affect him much. He could still move around..."Scarlet kept on listening, without saying a word. "But then, people rushed over to our house one day and said dad had died.

“How do you feel now, Scarlet?” Lucas asked, taking a seat beside her.Scarlet heaved a sigh, “How did you find me? By the way, I'm fine. I'm good.” Lucas gave a slight chuckle. He knew Scarlet must be wondering how he got to know about her kidnapping and how he rescued her. But who wouldn't rescue the woman one loves, when she's in danger.“I saw it on the news. You were missing. I organized a search party led by the police. It took them a while but I'm glad we were able to find you.”“Do you know who was behind your kidnapping?” Lucas sounded as though he was trying to tell her something and not ask her a question. “Why do you ask?” Scarlet sounded aloof and wondered why Lucas was interested in the topic. She knew he also thought Peter was behind her kidnapping.“It was Peter, your driver.” Scarlet was not willing to sit and hear everyone blame Peter for something he obviously didn't do or wasn't willing to do. A part of her was still willing to believe Peter's word even though s

He gazed at the landscape, wondering about his life that had taken a drastic change in the last few days.“Lucas!” Racheal called out, walking towards him. “The doctor said we can leave now.”“Sure.
