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? I thought you had always hated her.”“Well, let's say, I was just foolish then. I only acted that way because my brother was acting that way too and I never really knew

Lucas POVLucas looked outside the window of his hospital bed. 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. I hope there is no media press outside. I don't want anyone asking me any questions or capturing my face on camera.” Lucas said, walking out of the room.“None at all. I made sure the coast is clear. I will have Chloe help Maria to the car.”Lucas sighed as he heard his mother mention Maria.“How is she now?” Lucas asked as they walked out of the hospital building.“She's fine. Getting better already.

I want her to be found, hale and hearty.”“What's wrong? You just walked out in fury. Is anything the matter?” Maria asked him as she joined him outside.“It's Scarlet. She's missing.” Maria's heart skipped a beat as she heard the news. Scarlet, missing? How and when? But she visited them at the hospital?

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

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. "Maria tried to kill scarlet," he said, his voice low and calm. "She's been pretending also."Rachael's eyes widened in surprise but Chloe only had an "I told you so" look on her face.Rachel's expression turned serious. "You must be joking.

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. If you never did, you wouldn't have visited when you heard of his accident at the hospital.”“I'll think about i

Maria's POV Maria stared at the ceiling as she sat on her wheelchair. She gazed towards the door to make sure it was locked before standing up with a mischievous smile on her face. “Lucas! 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”. She muttered as she undid the lock. “Hey Maria”, Chloe smiled down at her. “How do you feel today?” Maria stared at Chloe for a while with a shocked expression on her face. “I'm fine, Do you need anything? 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. I just thought of checking up on you or is it bad?” Chloe smirked mischievously which made Maria unsettled.“That's so sweet of you”. Maria felt the wheel on her chair was stuck and she bent down to check it only to see Ch

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? By your emotions you said, Lucas,” Her voice rose. “You fucking choose your mistress over me, meeeeeee, your own wife and no

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. The building collapsed due to it being burnt down to ashes. I was left with just my sister. Who was killed by a hit and run, on her way back from school, one evening. This, I witnessed and It was the same man who denied dad access to lending him money. It turned out it was
