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. But then, something bothers me.” Racheal said, her voice laced with a mixture of concern and worry.“What's that?” Lucas came to a halt, staring at her.“Where are we going to start from? How are we going to tell Maria everything? She deserves to know the truth…”“We'll talk about that when we get home, mother.”Lucas said, sittin

Lucas stood up abruptly, his gaze locked on the television. “What's wrong?” Maria asked him, as she peered into the television.Lucas dashed out immediately, making some phone calls.“Make sure to comb everywhere. 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? She couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness inside, even though she doesn't remember her memories, Scarlet looked like someone who had Lucas glued to her. So she was glad she went missing.She looked concerned, furrowing her eyebrow. "Oh no, that's really terrible. What happened?"Lucas paced forth and back, his phone glued to his hand. "I don't know. I just saw it on the News headlines just a few minutes ago. I tried reaching her but her phone's going straight to vo

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows. Scarlet's heart skipped a beat as she saw Peter's face.But it couldn't be. Peter was dead. Don Marco's men had killed him. She heard the gunshot.Scarlet shifted back as Peter approached her. Scared she was seeing a ghost."It's me, Peter. Don't be scared, Scarlet."

“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

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

The day has gone and it was night already. The moon shone so bright outside, which illuminated everywhere.The chitchat of the Watson's family which erupted from the spacious living room rented the air.

The air was hot which made her face flushed and her vision blurry, she looked at the heap of clothes on the bed and her heart sank. She had been washing all day and her fingers were bruised.

The next day, Scarlet was nursing the wounds she had sustained the night before when she heard footsteps approaching. Loud chaotic noises accompanied the footsteps.“The Bloody idiot, where the hell is she? I know you are in there, you evil witch.”Scarlet recognized her mother-in-law's voice. She struggled to get up in a bit to lock her door but she was not so fast. Her mother-in-law was in her room already.Turning to face her, she watched as Rachel strode over to her, glaring at her, in a deadly way.“You are so evil. What has the poor child done to you.”“I did nothing to her. She started the trouble after I saw her in Lucas' bed.” Scarlet said weakly.“She can't stoop so low to fight you, Scarlet. Maria is not a lowlife like you. You are just jealous of her because Lucas loves and prefers her to a scumbag like you.” Scarlet knew no amount of explanation was going to exonerate her.
