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 she heard a thumping sound and the heavy breathing of someone.“Hello! Is anybody there?” She called out.She looked around, trying to find a means of escape. 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."

Scarlet screamed, moving away from him hastily."Scarlet please. You need to believe me. I know I lied to you, I know I was sent by Don marco but trust me, I never wante

“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

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

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 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 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

"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 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.

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.

"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
