“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.

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.

“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

“Your house?” Scarlet asked. “Yeah, I feel maybe we could Netflix and chill, huh!”He's your employee Scarlet, you don't have to be so nice to himScarlet could hear the thoughts in her head. She was silent for a while as she studied Peter's face. He doesn't look bad, maybe I can just while away time over at his place. Moreover, Lyssa is away for a night out with her girls.“Alright. No problem. I accept your offer.” She responded, smiling. The rest of the moment passed away in silence as they both focused on their meals. Peter stole glances at her. This act was obvious to Scarlet.“Why are you doing that?” Scarlet asked, folding her arms.“Doing what?” “You were looking at me, is anything on your mind?”“I was just admiring the beautiful human in front of me. I wonder why your ex-husband treated you like that.”“Okay okay it's enough Peter. You are still my employee and you need to respect that. Do not talk about my marital life.” “Are you mad at me?”“No, not at all. I just fee

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.

“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

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.
