“Why are you calling me Lucas?” Scarlet asked, immediately she picked the phone. Her fingers gripping the phone tightly to her ears.“You stole from me, Scarlet. I let you go, I allowed the divorce, I even gave you my card which you returned claiming you have no need for it, yet, you stole from me?”“Lucas! Is this another cheap blackmail of yours again? Is this another stupid gesture to get me hurt again? Why would I steal from you?”“Don't get me wrong, Scarlet. You were the only one who had access to that black card, no one else did. So now I need to know, how a million dollars got missing from that account?”“A million dollars?”, Scarlet sneered, “Aren't you bigger than that, Lucas? Why should a million dollars bother you?”“You took it, didn't you?” “You know what Lucas? You are an annoying scumbag, we'll meet in court.” Scarlet said angrily, cutting the call on Lucas.Lucas groaned, hitting his fist on the wall. He hated the new guys Scarlet had. She was no longer the naive you

“You called for me ma'am?” Peter said, stepping into her room.“Uhmm yes. Lyssa and I made some reservations at the Livingston restaurant. Kindly drive us there.”Throughout the ride, Scarlet kept looking outside the window, her mind filled with different thoughts. She was happy to be finally free from Lucas's troubles and his family but it seems as though everything keeps going wrong.They arrived at the restaurant and Scarlet noticed all eyes were on her.The people there murmured and made side eyes which made her uncomfortable.“Lyssa, I think we should leave.” She whispered, holding Lyssa's hands.“No, we aren't leaving.” Scarlet walked up to a female teen who had eyes on her since she had entered.“Mind telling me why you all are looking at me?” Scarlet asked her sincerely.“Uhmm, it's just that, it's everywhere on the news and internet that you stole from the famous billionaire family and that you are his ex wife.”her voice quavered.Scarlet was furious. The news hit her hard

And why should I get in the car?” The manager looked around fearfully.“Don't make me repeat myself. Get in the car” he nodded in the direction of his parked car. He held a small sharp knife and pointed it at him. “You don't want me to harm you, do you? Now get in the car.” The manager walked briskly towards the car. He tried to make a signal with the security guards at the entrance of his office but was pushed inside by the man“Don't hurt me please. Who are you?” He cried out as soon as they were both in the car.The man gave no response and zoomed off immediately after blindfolding him and gagging his mouth. They arrived at a damp room filled with a pungent smell which

“Do you have anything in mind to do?” Peter asked while he was at the steering wheel.“I don't understand. What do you mean?” Scarlet asked.“I mean, do you want to find out who is behind the attack on lucas’ manager?”“I don't know yet. I am so confused. Something feels wrong somewhere.” She sighed.“I understand you are tired from everything but it will be fine. If you ever need my help just let me know.” “Thank you….. for your concern.”Scarlet was shocked seeing the crowd that gathered at the front of her office. The news reporters and journalists didn't give her any breathing space.“Miss, is it true you are behind the attack on the bank manager.”“Can you please tell us who really stole from your ex husband?”“Is the evidence against you real?”Her head was filled with questions from different people at the same time. She felt as though her head was spinning. She feared getting attacked or assaulted. Scarlet immediately covered her ears with her hands and rushed into the office

Scarlet relaxed on her seat. Her eyes fixed at the mirror right in front of Peter.“If I may ask, why are you suddenly interested in knowing me?” Peter asked. His hands clutching the car steering tightly. His lips were curved into a sly smile. Scarlet felt something was undoubtedly odd about him.“It's nothing. I mean it's nothing bad if I get to know my personal driver.” Scarlet responded. “Sure. I'm just curious.” He rubs his head, yawning. “I never wanted to be a driver, you know. I had a lovely family. Myself, my dad, my sister and I. We were one lovely family until tragedy struck.”“Oh goodness. What happened?” Scarlet leans forwards a bit towards him, her palm placed on her thighs. “ I'm listening, go on please.”“My dad was a truck driver. He was driving his truck one day when a call came in. I was with him that day, in the car……” Peter's eyes flickered, his voice became teary and it quavered. “It was about my mom, she had been rushed to the hospital. She collapsed earlier. Sh

The loud ringing of the alarm clock beside her bed side woke Scarlet up. She looked around in fright, rubbing her eyes so hard. She looked out of the window . It was pitch dark outside. The trees trembled and the wind howled. The atmosphere felt eerie as birds chirped loudly, flapping their wings noisily. Scarlet slipped into her footwear and walked gently to the kitchen.“Lyssa didn't cook anything.” She said, closing the empty cupboard and reclining with her back on the kitchen table. She looked around, with her arms folded.“I'm so hungry, what do I eat?” She pulled out a packet of cereal from underneath the table and took a mug of milk from the fridge. Scooping the quick meal she had just made into her mouth, she went into deep thoughts. “You are up so early!” Scarlet was startled seeing her sister at that time of the night in the kitchen.“You startled me Lyssa. Why aren't you sleeping.”, Scarlet gave her a stare showing her surprise, “And why do you have that mask on your face

Lucas POVLucas swiftly turned to face Maria immediately she entered and sat beside him in the car. His eyes were cold and this made Maria restless.“Lucas, you need to believe me. Scarlet might have bribed Clark, just so he could lie against me. I need you to trust me.”Lucas looked at her, his lips pursed. He gritted his teeth in anger.“You are such a great actress. How dare you sit beside me and look me in the eye, telling all these cock and bull stories. You know what Maria, enough of this talk. We'll discuss further when we get home. For now, I need you to stay the hell away from me.” He roared angrily, pushing Maria away.“Lucas!!! Why are you being so harsh towards me? You don't believe everything that man said, do you?” Lucas shook his head. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. He was sweating even though the AC was fully on. Will Scarlet ever forgive me? What was I thinking? I need to speak with her. Lucas was deep in thoughts. His heartbeats could nearly be heard

Scarlet's POVWhy 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.”“I actually meant, how did you feel seeing Lucas again after a whi

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

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
