Scarlet's POV

Why 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.”

    “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.

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 took a deep breath, trying to clear his head."Lucas, wait!" Racheal called out, walking towards him. He turned to face her, wondering what she wanted."What is it, Mom?" 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

He touched his forehead which was bleeding profusely already. He fell to his knees, his vision blurring. The sound of screeching tires and Maria's screams still echoed in his mind.With a sudden surge of adrenaline, Lucas crawled towards Maria and pulled her out of the car. She was limp, her face pale. He shook her violently, his heart racing."Maria, Maria wake up. Please, I didn't mean to." Lucas begged, his voice shaking.But Maria didn't respond. Lucas' fear turned into panic. He had to act fast. He needed to get her to a hospital.With much effort, Lucas lifted Maria up into his arms and stumbled amidst a blurry vision and a throbbing headache towards a parked car.

    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. Let's go check on your brother.” Racheal said, dragging her away.………………….Scarlet's POV“Scarl! Scarlett. Did you hear the news?” Lyssa came running, flashing her phone at her sister's face.“What news Lyssa and why did you have to run like that? I'm late for work, so I don't have much time for your gossip.”“Ugh, just calm down Scarlet.” Lyssa rolled her eyes at her sister as she sat on the bed.“I saw the headlines.

    “Scarlet!” Lucas said, rising into a sitting position.“I hope you are better now?” Scarlet asked him formally.“Uhmm yeah I am. I'm fine.”“What of Maria? I heard she was involved in the accident too?” Scarlet let out a sigh, trying so hard to hide her emotions. It has been a while but Lucas was still stuck with Maria. She had always been a third wheel and she wondered if Lucas had ever thought of her differently.Lucas' heart sank as she mentioned Maria. He hung his head low, unable to meet her gaze.“She's fine. She's in another ward.”“Okay. I have to go now. I'm glad you are okay.”………………Racheal and Chloe stood outside, watching the duo.“Aren't they just adorable?” Chloe said, as she looked at her brother and his ex wife.Racheal looked at her with surprise all over her face. “When did you start liking Scarlet?

    Lucas finally caught up to Maria, his car screeching to a halt as he blocked her path. Maria, realizing she was trapped, tried to make a run for it, but Lucas was too quick. He jumped out of his car and grabbed her, spinning her around to face him."You're not going anywhere," Lucas growled, his eyes blazing with anger.Maria struggled against his grip, but Lucas held her firm. "Let me go," she spat, her eyes flashing with defiance."I don't think so," Lucas said, his voice cold and menacing. "You're going to pay for what you've done. I'm going to hand you over to the police and let them deal with you."Maria's face twisted with fear, but she quickly regained her composure. "You can't just hand me over to the police," she said, her voice steady. "I have rights, Lucas. And I won't go down without a fight."Lucas sneered at her. "You're not in a position to make demands, Maria. You've lied to me, manipulated me, and used me for your own gain. You're not even pregnant, are you? It was al

    Lucas walked into his house feeling dejected. He was greeted by his mother and sister who were both sitting in the living room, looking shocked and concerned."Lucas, what's going on?" Rachel asked, as soon as she saw him. "We've been trying to reach you all day. Where have you been?"Lucas sat down next to them, looking downcast."I've been with scarlet."Chloe spoke up, her voice shaking. "You don't look too good, what's wrong? And there's something else, Maria, she's been shouting and banging on the door, the guard said you instructed him to keep her locked away."Rachael added, "Talk to us, Lucas, what's happening?"Lucas sighed, knowing that he had to tell his family the truth about Maria.

    Scarlet's eyes narrowed as she looked at Lucas. "What are you going to do with Maria?" she asked, her voice firm.Lucas's expression turned cold, and he clenched his jaw. "I'm going to hand her over to the police," he said, his voice low and even.Scarlet's eyebrows rose in surprise. "You're going to turn her in?" she asked, her voice laced with skepticism.Lucas nodded. "Yes, I am. She's been using me and manipulating me for her own gain. She's been playing games with my family and my business. It's time she faced the consequences of her actions."Scarlet's eyes searched Lucas's face, looking for any sign of hesitation or uncertainty. But all she saw was determination and a sense of justice."What about the baby?" Scarlet asked, her voice softening slightly.Lucas's expression didn't change. "The baby? Well she never had a baby, what she did earlier confirmed it. She has been faking everything," he said, his voice firm. "Maria lied to me about the pregnancy, and I have the proof to b

    (From the author's POV)[I made a mistake dear readers. Lucas' sister is Claire not Chloe but from a certain chapter, I started using the name Chloe for her. This is just to let you all readers know that henceforth, I'll be using Chloe till the end of the book, kindly pardon my mistake]Lucas bit his lower lip, staring hungrily at scarlet's naked body. He slowly bent down, parting her thighs.“Ohh Lucas”, Scarlet moaned, grabbing his hair as he buried his face in between her thighs.“Yes…” She moaned, arching her back and curling her toes.Lucas made no sound, he pinched his cheek trying to know if he was dreaming or not. He couldn't believe he was in bed with his ex wife and wondered how he had fallen for Maria before.“Take all of me Lucas.” Scarlet screamed.Scarlet's scream was a booster to Lucas. He grabbed her thighs as he got up, pulling her closer to his thighs. He took one long look at her before thrusting himself inside of her, letting out a loud moan.***“I can't believe w

    Maria stood transfixed, unsure of what just happened. Cleaning the blood that had splattered on her face, she rushed towards the edge of the cliff with a shocked expression on her face.“You evil witch”, Lucas suddenly appeared behind her with a gun in his hand.“What have you done, Lucas?” She screamed.“How evil can you be? Were you thinking I wasn't going to find out about your deceitful acts?” Lucas groaned, pointing the gun at her.Scarlet, who was tied to the chair, tried to free herself, but soon froze in her seat when Maria pointed the gun at her, threatening to pull the trigger.“Make one more move and I'll blow your brains out.” Maria shouted, still with the gun pointed at scarlet. “Drop the gun, Maria. You do not want me to do something bad”. Lucas threatened, taking slow steps towards her.“What's the worst you can do? Pull the trigger at me ? Try it but know that I won't go down alone, she will too”. Pointing at scarlet who could barely breathe. She let out a wicked laug

    Scarlet woke up the following morning to meet tons of messages from Lucas still seeking her forgiveness.“Is it still Lucas?” Lyssa asked her sister who sat looking dejected.“He doesn't want to back down, Lyssa and I really can't say but I feel like he won't relent if I don't make a move or say anything.” Scarlet sighed.“Do you want to take him back?” Lyssa asked. “Scarlet”, Lyssa said, taking her hands. “Why don't you give him a chance again to redeem his mistakes?”.Scarlet stared at the bank space for a while thinking of what Lyssa had just said. “But Maria?” “Forget about Maria, scarlet. If Lucas wants you then go for it, that's if your heart still yearns for him. He's still your husband…”“Ex-husband…” scarlet corrected which made Lyssa roll her eyes.“Fine, ex-husband. But he still wants you scarlet. You can't deny the fact that you still feel a thing for him too.

How stupid of you to think that I lost my memories in the car accident”. She let out a cheeky laugh before sitting back on her wheelchair. A knock suddenly came on the door which sent her heart racing. “I hope no one heard me”.

It's quite unusual seeing you in my room.” Chloe gave a hearty laugh before taking a seat jus beside Maria. “Oh Maria! There's no problem at all.

    Scarlet's body tensed and shook with every desire that swept through her body. Lucas had never talked to her in such a soft manner before. Her body burned with the intensity to take him in and allow him work on her body, something he never did before but in a swift seconds, remembering everything he had made her gone through and how he belittled her everytime in front of his mistress, she took one glance at him and shoved him off, not missing the sign of confusion on his face.“Scarlet…” Lucas drawled, signaling his confusion.“Get away from me, Lucas. 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. I didn't mean to do all that. I-i I was clouded by my emotions….”“By your emotions?

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.
