My billionaire ex-husband wants me back Chapter 8
“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

“Hello” A masked man waved at lucas' bank manager who sat across a wooden desk in his office.The manager was surprised to see someone like that in his office.“How may I help you, please?” He asked immediately as he stepped outside.The man looked at him, chuckling lightly.“Get in the car.” “What do you mean? 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

Scarlet's voice cracked as she explained the situation to Trump and Lyssa, her eyes welling up with tears. "It's...it's a blackmail message. Someone has a photo of me and Peter, and they're threatening to send it to everyone unless I pay them 1 million dollars." Her words tumbled out in a panicked rush, her fear and anxiety obvious.Trump's face darkened, his eyes flashing with anger and concern. "Show me," he said, his voice firm and reassuring. He took the phone from Scarlet's trembling hands, his expression growing grimmer as he examined the message and photo.Lyssa's eyes widened in shock and outrage as she saw the image. "How dare they!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with rage. "We'll never let them get away with this, Scar. We'll fight them tooth and nail."Scarlet felt a wave of desperation wash over her. "What if they really send it out? What if everyone sees it? My career will be ruined." She buried her face in her hands, her body shaking with sobs.Trump pulled her into

Scarlet's POVScarlet sat on her bed, surrounded by open suitcases and piles of clothes, as her sister Lyssa helped her pack for her upcoming trip. The two sisters chatted and laughed as they worked, their conversation flowing easily."I'm so excited for you, Scar," Lyssa said, folding a dress and placing it in the suitcase. "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 know, I'm really looking forward to it. 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. "I'm especially looking forward to getting away from Maria. She's always been s

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. 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

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
