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

[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. As they waited for their food to arrive, Lucas couldn't help but steal glances at Scarlet. She looked radiant, her hair shining in the morning light."So, Scarlet," Lucas said, his voice low and husky. "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

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 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. They could all be heard chatting and laughing heartily.In the master's bedroom, Scarlet Andy was folding the clothes she had washed earlier. 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. Sweat dripped down her forehead which she wiped away with the back of her hand as she sat down on the bed.She had been sick for a couple of days now, however, she was yet to get medicine or give her body rest for like ages.“Are you going to spend forever, folding those clothes huh! you are so slow and annoying.” Clair Watson fumed at her, standing at the door.Scarlet wiped her forehead with the end of her dress and bit her lower lip. She was used to her si

“How do you feel now?” Lucas said, inspecting the cut on her hand.“A bit better. That evil lady won't stop at nothing just to see me hurt.”, She pulled Lucas towards herself while faking a cry, “She's so evil Lucas, you should send her packing already.”“I need time for that. Uncle Lewis forced her on me. I need enough time to execute my plans.”Maria was not happy. She wanted Scarlet out of the house as soon as possible but Lucas' words calmed her nerves a bit.The doctor came in to announce that they could go home as they have been discharged already.Scarlet on the other hand, nursed her injury at home. She prepared beautiful lingerie and made Lucas favorite meal. She was trying so hard to make Lucas happy.In the stillness of the cold night, it was freezing out. She heard his room door open. She quickly wore the lingerie and held the meal she had prepared earlier. She walked nervously to his room, her heart was beating fast. The lingerie was a sleeveless one, the cold atmosphere

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. She stood there, dejected and overwhelmed with nothing to prove her innocence.The door flung open

Lucas glared at Maria grudgingly. The atmosphere was tense. Claire immediately excused herself and ran straight to her room. She knew how angry Lucas can get and she was not ready for it.“What was that all about ?” Lucas asked Maria.“Wh what what?” She stammered.“Why were you causing problems?” He shouted, banging the wall with his fist.Maria was scared. She knows lying was not going to help her get out of the situation.“I only wanted to have a discussion with her. I didn't mean to cause any trouble.” her forehead glistened with sweat. The disappointment written all over his face was glaring. “I didn't expect this from you.”“But I thought you didn't love her, I thought you wanted her out.” “I never told you to cause her any trouble.” He roared.“I'm so sorry Lucas”“Enough! Just let it go.”“Scarlet sure has the nerves. How could she pronounce divorce? Good riddance anyways. I'm glad she's gone already. You and I can finally have our marriage. Right Lucas?” She said,flirting w

Lucas POVMaria and Lucas were arguing inside his office.“I needed to get some designer clothes for myself and I tried to use your credit card but it declined. The pin was incorrect. When did you change your pin and why?” She asked Lucas.Lucas was scribbling on his notepad trying to complete the work for the day. Without looking up, he said, “You spend recklessly, I sweat myself out to make money yet you squander it as you like. Scarlet doesn't do this. She doesn't.”Maria scoffed, her voice was filled with fury, “You dare compare me with Scarlet now? She wanted a divorce and she left, you don't have to beat yourself up over it, transferring your aggression to me. I bet she can't even survive out there. She'll surely come back when she has nothing else to feed on after the money she stole is exhausted.”“Enough, Scarlet never stole from me. She doesn't steal.”, He glared at her, his eyes red, “She's still my wife and you've got no right to talk about her in such a manner.” “Wife yo

As Lucas dragged Maria towards the car, she continued to smile, her eyes glinting with malice. Lucas's anger boiled over, and he tossed her into the backseat, slamming the door shut behind her."What do you mean by that?" Lucas demanded, his voice low and menacing, as he got into the driver's seat.Maria just laughed, coldly. "You'll find out soon enough," she spat, her eyes flashing with anger.Lucas's eyes narrowed, his grip on the steering wheel tightening.

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. "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. Maria has been in this house. What are you saying? Ho

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
