“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

“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

“We shouldn't be doing this Peter.” Scarlet said in between moans. “Just relax and I will make you feel really good.” Peter replied, tracing her back with his fingers.The passion that burned through Scarlet's body left her speechless. Lucas had never made her feel that way before. Peter and Scarlet locked eyes and they both could see the burning desires in them. Peter pinned her against the wall, slightly raising her gown to reveal a pair of fair thick thighs. He slowly traced them with his fingers, sending waves of pleasure all over Scarlet.“No no Peter. Stop!,” Scarlet pushed him away, walking back to the couch.“I am sorry, I didn't mean to. I didn't know how it happened.” Peter stammered.“It's fine. I mean, I shouldn't have allowed you too. It's just a mistake, it won't happen again.” She picked up her bag and walked towards the hallway leading to the room Peter had given to her. She flung herself on the bed immediately she entered.She kicked her feet angrily into the air,

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

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. He knew that Maria was hiding something, but he had no idea what. He was tired of her evil schemes and cursed the day he met her.As he drove, Maria's words echoed in his mind. What did she mean about his mother? What secrets was she hiding?Lucas's mind was racing with questions, but he knew he wouldn't get any answers from Maria. Not yet, anyway.He pulled up to the police station, his heart pounding with anticipation. It was time to get some answers, and to make sure that Maria paid for her crimes.As he dragged Maria out of

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
