"If this is about my recent behavior, then I apologize," Alex began with dropped shoulders. There was the sadness in his voice again, the one Scarlett had feared would come up, but she would not let it tug at her this time.

"This is not about you at all," Scarlett said as she walked past him, leaving him standing there as though he had just lost a loved one.

"Rose, I–"

"Scarlett," she interrupted him. "The name is Scarlett," she added, shutting him up once more.

He watched her walk to the fridge and pour herself a glass of juice. He headed to the kitchen too and turned off the cooker.

"I'm moving out, but that does not mean that I don't care for dinner tonight," she said and took a long sip from her glass.

"What happened to you, Scarlett?" He asked, ignoring what she said. "You suddenly flare up easily at the slightest provocation," he said.

It was not the same with her since Lucas had shown up back in her life. She hated that she could not blame Lucas for what had happened, even th

    Scarlett had never been so scared in her entire life. The news about Lucas' ghastly motor accident met her with more anxiety than she could bear.Daphne was not in a good state of mind to tell her the situation of things either. Luckily for them, Daphne had come with a car and they quickly got in. Danielle and George would find their way as they had come with their vehicle too.As they drove to the hospital, she suddenly remembered that her son was all alone in the house. She thought of what to do and called Alex immediately. He did not answer on the first ring and she decided to drop him a message.He called back almost immediately."What emergency are you talking about?" He asked her. "Are you sure you are okay? How is Jason doing?" He asked her. He was panicking and she knew that he was deeply concerned about them."I'm fine. I just need you to take care of Jason. He's home alone," she said to him. Without any further words, she hung up.She knew how he would feel if she told him t

    Scarlett was not sure of how to react when she saw Alex standing there, looking down at her with an unreadable expression in his eyes.She looked back at Daphne who had guilt written over her face. She had to be a snitch and rat her out to Alex. Scarlett shook her head at her in disappointment."You know you should have just told me you were here, right?" Alex began, still looking down at her. He was leaning against the doorframe and for a moment, she forgot that they were in the hospital. He looked deliciously good in that stance."I just didn't want you thinking that I left my son and you to come be with Lucas," she said. He smiled and looked at her with gentleness in his eyes."I would do the same if I heard that a loved one just had an accident," he said to her. "Besides, as much as I try to deny it, you are still his wife legally and I think you still feel something for him," he added. She shook her head but he looked at her reassuringly to tell her that it was fine.He stepped i

    Lucas' sight was blurry when he opened his eyes for the first time since the accident. The sound of the beeping of the hospital machines was foreign to him as he tried to recall where he was.Daphne was already dozed off on a sofa nearby. She had taken the kids to school and was back at the hospital to look after her brother. The sound of his stirring woke her up and she pressed the emergency bell immediately to call on the doctor.She rushed to where he was and looked him in the eyes, her heartbeat becoming faster."Can you see me?" She asked him frantically."Where am I?" He asked her painfully as he had a terrible headache."Thank God you are awake," Daphne said, unconsciously ignoring his question. He looked flushed and she waited patiently for help. The doctor soon arrived with a team of nurses and they began a quick check on him. Daphne was asked to excuse them while they worked.She stepped outside with joyful tears brimming in her eyes. When she looked up, she saw Scarlett ap

    After he broke the news to Scarlett, every other thing the doctor said to her was not heard. If there was anything Lucas needed, it was his legs because he was a businessman. A spinal cord injury meant nerve damage and she knew that it would be a difficult run."Is there anything that we can do to salvage this situation?" She asked the doctor. "Money is not the problem at all," she added."We can assign a physiotherapist for some sessions," the doctor suggested. "We can expect a quicker recovery from that," he added.Scarlett was short of words as she headed out of the office. She was at a loss as to how to break the news to Lucas. He would be so devastated, but he may or may not learn to accept his situation and that was enough to bother her.When she reentered the ward, Lucas was playing happily with his kids on the hospital bed. Her eyes fell on his leg which was raised on a cast as she held back the brimming tear that threatened to slip from her eyes. It hit her suddenly that she

    Scarlett rushed upstairs just after she had seen Alex off. He had not been happy with her decision, but in the end, he was intent on supporting her with whatever path she chose. He had given her a big hug and handed her some cash, even if she did not need them before he left.Lucas was awake but lay lifeless on the bed when she got in. "Your little boyfriend was here to see you, right?" He began. She refrained from saying anything to him. Throughout her stay, since they were back from the hospital, she had been trying so much to tolerate his excesses and flares. "I wonder how he has the nerve to come to see a married woman in her matrimonial home," he continued intent on annoying her. He had developed a fetish for making everyone around him as angry as he was. She still did not utter a word to him but proceeded to run his bath. She was doing everything for him as he would not let anyone else touch her."What does that make you?" He continued. "Shameless or slutty?" He asked and let

    Scarlett went over the details of the contract over again. It still seemed like a dream come true, and thought she was still basking in one. She went over to where Lucas was and engaged him in a warm embrace.He had gotten her another Paris contract. It was not just Paris this time, but there was an opportunity for an African food tour among the amazing benefits the terms of the contract offered. "How did you get this done?" She asked him, still bewildered at his offer. "You seem to have forgotten who Lucas Maxwell is," he said with a tinge of pride. "I just had to put in a word or two for you and in no time, they got back to me with the benefits embedded in there," he continued."I still can't believe my eyes," she said to him."You deserve it, Scarlett," he said. "Even if I had to put in a word for you, I am very sure that they would not have considered you if you did not have a reputation," he added. Scarlett looked at him and was at a loss as to what to do. "Thank you so much,"

    Scarlett decided that it would be a good option for the entire crew to return to Santorini. She had cut short their trip the last time, and when she suggested it this time, Alex was in full support. They sent out invitations and made arrangements. Scarlett added George and Daniella to the list and after the entire planning, it looked so promising.Daphne and Nick arrived the night before the trip."Left for me, I would have suggested that you both went on your honeymoon alone but since you want us in it as well, I can't decline," Daphne said as she settled in Scarlett's room.They had agreed that Daphne would spend the night with Scarlett while Nick and his brother would share a room as well. "Let's just say I wanted to do it as compensation for cutting short the trip the other time, and we all deserve a break from the cruel life we have gotten over," Scarlett said. "That reminds me," Daphne said as she took out her makeup from the dresser with some wipes. "What did Lucas say to yo

    "If it's not the bride," Daphne began excitedly as she opened up the door and barged into the room where Scarlett was ready to get into her wedding dress."Daphne!" Scarlett called out as she went ahead to hug her best friend. "I thought you were not going to come anymore," she added. "Of course, you know that I will not miss your big day for anything," Daphne said. She had been a bit incapacitated the whole time of the preparations, because of the pregnancy and Nick had insisted that she stayed back and allowed the doctor to attend to her. Daniella had managed to squeeze out time out of her busy schedule and away from George who seemed obsessed with her every day. She saw the way they had their pictures all over social media, and they were equally successful chefs."Is Lucas coming?" Scarlett asked."I tried to talk to him, but he said he does not want to be here," Daphne replied."But he has signed the divorce papers already, right?" Scarlett asked. "I don't like the way he is ma

    Scarlett stopped by Alex's house on her way back from a contract job. The hospital incident had taken a toll on everyone, especially Alex. He had gone into hiding, away from his house and away from his office.When his parents finally decided to give him space, they went back to Singapore along with Nick and Daphne. They all had no idea that the incident would take a toll on him that much, and Scarlett seemed to think that he was overreacting, but she could not help but think that it was all her fault.She had finally gone to Africa for the contract, but every day, she kept thinking about Alex. Raymond had urged her to enjoy herself and do her job well, but she could not help it. She called him and sent him messages every day, but he would not answer or reply. She had made a call to his housekeeper who told her the exact time he usually came back to the house. She had told him that Alex now had empty beer and whiskey bottles in his study. Scarlett knew that he was not a drunk. He ba

    "What do you mean you would not carry out the procedure anymore?" Alex raged as he followed the doctor out of the surgical ward, alerting his family members.They rushed out immediately to see what was going on."Doctor Ezra, you have to give me a good explanation for all of these," he continued. The doctor stopped and turned around to face him."I think Scarlett and your mother would have a better explanation for this," he said. "I think that my work here is done," he added and walked away.Alex turned to his mother, not knowing what to expect."What is he talking about?" He asked her. His mother fidgeted a little before she finally looked up at him. "Scarlett would be in a better position to explain things to you," she said. "Can you all just stop pointing fingers and tell me what is going on?" He asked. His mother was silent. His father and Nick were as lost as he was as they were still trying to fathom what was going on, but grateful in their hearts that Alex was still alive.

    Alex stepped out of the ward and his father stood up immediately after he saw him. They stood and looked at each other for a while. There was no disappointed scowl on his face to suggest that he was angry. Instead, a beautiful smile was plastered to his face. He stretched out his hands just like he would do every day after work when they were little boys. Alex rushed at his father and engaged him in a big embrace. His father patted his back gently and Alex relaxed slowly. They soon sat down at a corner and his mother came to join them."Would you want anything to eat?" She asked her husband who looked up at her with a smile."Alex teaches us every day how to love," he said to her. "Our boy is so brave," he added as he smiled at her. "I don't want to be reminded further that my son is about to have his heart out and given to someone else," she said. "Where is Nick and Daphne?" Alex asked. He had not seen them since he came out. Just Lucas sat there with his face buried in his hand

    "Time for what exactly?" Lucas asked when he saw that he was the only person that did not know what was being discussed. Doctor Ezra looked back at him, but did not say anything to him, but turned around and left. Lady Abbott looked at her son Alex and tears welled up in her eyes. She went ahead to engage him in a long embrace. "Can someone tell me what is going on here?" Lucas asked again, spreading out his hands and looking around. "In case you have not noticed, Alex has decided to donate the heart for Scarlett's transplant," Daphne said to him. Lucas has become such a pain in the ass and she was equally getting irritated."What is that supposed to mean?" Alex asked with an amused expression. Daphne looked at him unbelievably. He ignored her and moved to where Alex was standing."You think that you are the hero, right?" He asked Alex. "You went behind my back to see the doctor and agree to the transplant?" He continued. "I simply did what had to be done," Alex said."But you d

    Alex rushed at her immediately while Nick picked up his phone immediately to call for help. Lucas turned on his phone too so he could make a quick call to Doctor Ezra about her current situation.If there was a right time to put aside their differences and work together, it had to be now. Nick looked at Daphne as he spoke to the pilot on the phone. He saw how she was visibly trembling and he knew she was highly terrified.He went over to where she was and put a hand around her in a comforting manner, rubbing her back gently in circles so she would calm down.Once she was calm, he held her close to him. "I am sorry about this but remember the doctor said panicking will increase your blood pressure, and it's not good for the baby," he said to her. She nodded and turned around to hug him.The medical team soon arrived with a travel bus and they collected an unconscious Scarlett immediately."I called Doctor Ezra and he said we need to bring her in immediately," Lucas said as they all fi

    Scarlett stretched out her hand and touched him lightly. She watched him try to put himself together properly before he turned around with a big feigned smile on his face."What are you doing out here?" He asked her calmly. "You know it's cold out here," he added.She rolled her eyes. She was tired of everyone knowing what was good for her and what was not. It was all driving her nuts and she wished that they would all just give her a break. It irritated her more because he seemed to be having his struggles but was still looking out for her like she was a priority."Why were you crying?" She asked him. He looked up at her sharply."I was not crying. I just have a cold and it has given me a runny nose, but—""Oh don't lie to me," Scarlett cautioned him. "I know what I heard."He was silent for a while as he avoided her eyes. Thoughts of what he would say to her rummaged through his mind. An idea soon occurred to him."It's about my company," he finally said. "I think we might be runni

    "What did you say to her in there?" Nick asked as he took Daphne back to where they were seated initially. "Maybe if you had not rushed in there like we were planning your murder, I would have had the chance to have even a normal conversation with her," Daphne said, sounding agitated."At the end of the day, Scarlett might probably start to request answers from you guys," she continued. "You are all doing a bad job at keeping a secret," she added. Just then, Scarlett passed by and went to take her seat. "Is everything okay?" She asked Lucas. "You all came to the restroom," she added in case they had not understood why she asked."We just wanted to make sure that you were doing great," Alex was the one that answered. He stood up afterward and headed out. If he had to lie to Scarlett one more time, he might as well end up spilling the beans.He had to walk away to prevent himself from saying anything. Nick excused himself and followed after his brother. They got into another compartm
