Once Upon a Night With My Stepdad Chapter 14
Scarlett paced around her penthouse, frustration evident in her furrowed brow. Her attempts to call Adrian had been met with the cold reality of being blocked. The silence on the other end of the line echoed the growing distance between them. She missed him, and the worry gnawed at her.Determined to bridge the gap, Scarlett decided to call her mother. Vivian answered after a few rings, her voice laced with tiredness."Hello, Scarlett. What is it now?" Her tone was one of indifference."Mom, I need a few things from home that I forgot. Could you please find a way to bring them over? Please?"Scarlett tried to keep her desperation hidden. Her mother hesitated for a moment, weighing the request."Why can't you get them yourself? It's not my responsibility to cater to your forgetfulness.""It's important, and I really need those things. I promise I won't bother you with anything else," she pleaded, sounding desperate.Vivian sighed audibly, conceding with a reluctant agreement. "Fine, I'

Scarlett watched Adrian leave, and tears immediately clouded her vision. This wasn't what she was expecting; her plan to make him succumb to her charms had failed woefully. What would it take for her to win this man over? It seems like everything she's tried so far has been a total flop, and she needs to try harder.At that particular moment, she couldn't think of anything; she was way too upset to think clearly, so she thought of getting some rest first before thinking of new ways to make Adrian fall at her feet or on her bed.She took her stuff into the house and kicked them to a corner; she really didn't need any of those things; it was just a means of bringing Adrian to her house.She was about to go up to her room when she heard her phone ringing. She searched for it and finally found it inside the purse she had thrown on the couch earlier. Pulling it out, she saw that Nelly was the one calling.“Hi, Nelly."“Hey, girlfriend!” Nelly sounded so enthusiastic. Scarlett also noticed

It's been weeks now and Scarlett still hasn't been able to get through to Adrian. She tried several means to get him to come over, including demanding more stuff from her mother but that didn't work. It seemed like Adrian was doing everything possible to avoid her.“Miss Scarlett.” The professor's voice snapped Scarlett back to reality and she flinched, looking around the lecture hall. Her eyes landed on the professor who was glaring at her.“I asked you a question and you didn't even hear me. What were you thinking about?” He asked. Scarlett didn't know what to say, she didn't even know that she had trailed off, and now she was about to be embarrassed in front of the whole class.“Um..” Before she could get any word out, the professor's attention was called towards the door. A smartly dressed woman stood by the door, beckoning for him to come. He went to answer the woman and came back to get his stuff.“We will continue our class next time. Please remember to do your assignment.” He

Scarlett's eyes flung open after her alarm rang for a good two minutes. She turned it off and then sat up, releasing a long sigh. She entered the bathroom to wash her face and then came back out to check her schedule for the day. It was a Friday, and she only had Professor Williams' class for the day.Scarlett had decided to heed her uncle's instructions to start attending meetings, so she went ahead and called Rachel, her mother's secretary, to ask when the company's meeting was held. “Hello, Rachel?” She spoke into the phone, stretching her arms and legs.“Good morning, ma'am.” The subtle voice of the young lady responded.“Um, I wanted to find out when the company's meeting would be held today.” Scarlett went straight to the point; she didn't see any reason for further exchanges of pleasantries."Today, ma'am, by 10 a.m.,” Rachel answered. Scarlett looked at her clock, and it was almost half past six. She thought she could make it, so she told Rachel that she would be present at t

“What?” Vivian yelled over the phone, expressing shock over what Scarlett had just said. She didn't expect such a thing from her; besides, what even gave her the right to talk to her like that?“You have never been responsible at work. I left my company in your care for you to take care of it, but all you've done is abandon it and go about traveling, meeting up with different fuck boys, and spending money on them, Mom." Scarlett raged.“I thought you wanted to settle down with Adrian? Why are you still sleeping around?” She questioned.Scarlett knew that her mother would never change; she felt some kind of pity for Adrian, knowing that her mother was going to end up breaking his young heart.“I.. I..” Vivian stammered, suddenly becoming intimidated by her own daughter. Scarlett spoke with so much authority that she found herself becoming scared.“You have nothing to say, mom; you can't defend your lazy ass. I know what to do, and I think I will relieve you of your duties so that you c

Vivian stood by the window of her hotel room, staring down at the beautiful city of San Diego and sipping her coffee. She had only her bathrobe on, fighting the urge to touch herself. She was very horny and needed young blood to satisfy her urges.She dropped her coffee mug on the desk and decided to go hunting for what she wanted—a young man who could drive her crazy in bed. She went down to the pool, where dozens of young guys were strolling around, but none of them matched her energy; she didn't like any of the ones she saw.A lot of them tried to approach her, but she told them off, looking for something different. She was still sampling the young men who walked in and out of the pool area when her phone rang, it turned out to be Rod 2020, but she hung up immediately; he wasn't what she was looking for.Vivian was already fed up with his persistence since their last encounter. She wondered if the reason he kept coming back was because of the huge sum of money she paid him or if it

Two weeks have passed since Adrian and Scarlett sealed their friendship and things seemed to be okay. Neither of them had crossed their boundaries or tried to make things awkward. Meanwhile, Scarlett had a plan up her sleeves which Adrian knew nothing about.Adrian stood in the middle of the art gallery, inspecting and admiring the new pieces of art that had just arrived from overseas. Josy was standing behind him, equally taking in the satisfaction that came with the new art collection that had just arrived.“These are so beautiful.” Josy pointed out and Adrian nodded in agreement.“Let's hang them up at once, I want everyone to be able to enjoy them.” Adrian smiled briefly. “Of course,” Josy answered and got some of the workers to hang the paintings up and put the sculptures in their appropriate places.“So, how's Vivian? How are your marriage plans going?” Josy asked. That question seemed to trigger Adrian, he scrunched his nose and then let out a silent sigh.“Fine.” He replied n

It was around 7 p.m. that Scarlett heard Adrian enter the penthouse door. She was surprised when he entered and ran to give her a tight hug. Her thoughts were all over the place as she tried to decipher the reason why he was hugging her so tightly. Maybe he couldn't resist her charms anymore and had decided to surrender to her, or maybe he was missing her. A smile tugged at the corner of her lips, but when Adrian disengaged from the hug, she stopped smiling.“Dad? What happened? You seem so excited.” She questioned. “Are you that happy to see me, or did Mom propose?” She questioned further, a chuckle escaping her lips. Adrian couldn't find the right words to answer her because he also had no idea why he hugged her like that. He couldn't contain his happiness after he finally found the girl he had searched for. He never thought he would see her again, but he did. “Here's your dress.” He stretched out the bag to her, trying to change the topic. Scarlett took the bag from him and pulle

Once Upon a Night With My Stepdad EPILOGUE
Six months later…Scarlett walked into the room and met Richard's gaze. He hadn't changed a bit— it's just been six months, she didn't know why she was expecting him to change. She sat down in front of him and they were both silent for a few minutes.“I heard you were sick.” She broke the silence, finding it hard to look at his face, considering everything he had done.“I don't need you to care, Scarlett.” Richard scoffed, also avoiding eye contact. Scarlett chuckled, “My question is not out of care, it's simply because I want to be sure that you're suffering in here, that's all you deserve.” “Just tell me why you're here.” Richard sounded pissed off. Scarlett could not deny the fact that she was still very hurt by her uncle's betrayal, the shock and the dark paint of it all were plastered on her heart and she couldn't get over it. It pained her that he was acting so nonchalant, he was indeed a great actor. He spent years pretending to care about it, he was indeed callous.“To see

Everyone in the conference room was amazed and flabbergasted at Richard's confession. Richard was the company's trustee, a person who everyone in the firm looked up to. Hearing him say that, shattered a lot of hearts, especially Scarlett's.“Why did you do this? Are you happier!?” Scarlett scolded, her eyes red with tears and anger. Richard scoffed.“He thought he was some god! Like he was the king of the world and could do whatever he wanted. Gwen came to me, she wanted me! All I did was comply and my brother, your father thought he could just fire me and throw me to the streets!” Richard spat out, filled with rage as he recalled what happened years ago.“After he sent Gwen away with my child in her womb, I started hatching a plan to secretly take over everything he owns. Everything was going well, we were about to succeed after so many years!” He growled, biting his lip in spite. He had no regrets, neither did he seem remorseful of his actions. Gwen bowed her head in shame, sitting

Adrian was sitting in his study, going through his emails and sorting out orders when the door opened and Lydia walked in. She wore a bright smile as she clutched the tray containing Adrian's food in her hands. Adrian lifted his head to take a glance at who had entered his study only to discover that it was Lydia and what caught his attention more was the way she was dressed. She was wearing lingerie and a black, flared gown that stopped right below her butt. Her ass cheeks could easily be seen, and her cleavage exposed.“I brought your food, Adrian.” She put the tray down on his desk and then slowly walked over to him, her finger lingering on his arm and moving all the way to his chest. She stood behind him and lowered her head to kiss his ear, her hand sensually rubbing his chest and heavy arms. “You can eat me after eating your meal..” she whispered and bit his ear gently. Adrian sighed and shrugged her off, not showing any signs of arousal. This annoyed Lydia, but she wasn't g

The following night, Scarlett and Adrian met in a five-star restaurant as planned for their dinner date. Although Scarlett kept denying that she still had feelings for Adrian, she found herself getting all dolled up for him. “You look beautiful,” Adrian said softly as he sipped from the cocktail in front of him. “Oh.. thank you.” Scarlett blushed, pushing back her hair. She glanced at him and noticed his intense stare. It only made her cheeks burn, she had missed that look in his eyes, the look of sheer passion and devotion. The look that always made her feel warm and safe, she couldn't help the lump that formed in her throat but she swallowed it and blinked her sadness away.“I still remember the first time we met, your unwavering desire to get me to dump your mother.” Adrian chuckled and Scarlett smiled. She could remember it vividly.“Don't remind me of how much of a child I used to be.” She rolled her eyes. The waitress came with their orders and placed their different foods on

Scarlett and her mother were in the living room, the news was on but neither of them was watching it. They were each lost in their own thoughts, desperately needing a way out of the trouble they had found themselves in.Vivian felt heartbroken, still unable to believe that her husband cheated on her with his secretary. All these years, she had several relationships with other men, but she never knew the damage it caused to her family.Scarlett, on the other hand, couldn't stop thinking about her uncle's betrayal. She felt abandoned by the only father figure she had, the one person she had trusted for as long as she could remember. She never expected this from him, and she was still confused about his reasons for all of it.“Now arriving at the international art festival, it's handsome business tycoon, Adrian Heartfield!” The reporter on the television announced.Scarlett and Vivian looked up at the same time, eager to see Adrian on TV. Scarlett smiled when he got out of his car, wavin

“I told you I don't wanna leave the house.” Scarlett whined as she made her way into the gallery with Lily beside her.“You need some fresh air. You need to be around things that make you happy, and that's art pieces. That's why I brought you here.” Lily answered. They walked further into the gallery and started to check out some of the exotic pieces. Even though Scarlett didn't want to come out at first, she started to feel peaceful as she admired the pieces. A visit to the gallery wasn't going to wipe off all the problems she had, but it would lift the burden for a 6 that was enough for her. She was still waiting for the DNA test results. That would be the solution to everything.“Hi Scarlett.” A familiar voice called, sending chills down Scarlett's spine. She took a moment before turning, her eyes meeting with the most beautiful pair of gray eyes she had ever seen. A strong scent of coffee and lavender invaded her nostrils, giving her a soothing feeling. She couldn't help but g

Lily and Scarlett were sitting in the room, talking about the sudden changes that had occurred, especially about Gwen and Jacob when Lily realized how absent-minded Scarlett was.“Scarlett.” She called out, but there was no response, which pushed her to tap her shoulder. Scarlett flinched and released a long sigh.“Are you okay? Is it Jacob you're worried about?” Lily questioned, feeling sorry for her friend. “Unfortunately, that's not the only thing that is wrong in my life.” Scarlett answered, rubbing her tired eyes. Her voice carried some sort of weariness in them that captured Lily's attention.“What else?”“It's Adrian, I saw him yesterday night at the event I attended.” Lily's eyes widened. She had not heard anything about Adrian for the past three years now, and it's sounded like a miracle that Scarlett was mentioning him all of a sudden.“What was he doing there?”“Have you forgotten?” Scarlett scoffed. “He's a big business mogul. Of course, he'd attend events like that.” “

Instinctively, Scarlett stepped back, getting rid of the idea of going to meet Adrian. This new lady of his seemed to cling onto him quite tightly and led him away to meet with a bunch of other people. Scarlett couldn't help but fume as she watched them, feeling the blood pumping through her veins. She tried to ignore them and make business connections like she had originally planned, but her eyes kept darting towards their direction.The girl Adrian was with was effortlessly beautiful, and Scarlett couldn't deny that. She was petite but possessed charming curves, which were even more accentuated by the dress she was putting on. Her hair was long, reaching to her waist, and she flung it about at every given opportunity.Scarlett couldn't take her eyes off them, especially because Adrian seemed happy with the girl. She hated to admit to herself that she was jealous.“Why would I be jealous? He's a liar, and I want nothing to do with him.” She scoffed, mumbling to herself.“Miss Davenp

“What is the meaning of this Richard? Is this some sort of joke?” Vivian glared at the proud woman who was busy gloating behind Richard. She wished to wipe her smirk off with a punch.“I'm afraid it's not a joke. Jacob here is your father's heir, his only son.” Richard answered and the young man nodded. He was only two years younger than Scarlett, but his face was smooth as a baby's behind, with a nerdy look. “Uncle can you please stop it!? My father had no son and we all know this. I am his only child. I just graduated so this is not the kind of news I should be coming back to.” Scarlett sighed, trying to blow it off as a joke. Perhaps, her uncle was just playing a prank on them.“Whether you choose to believe it or not does not change anything. Jacob is your father's son, Mr Davenport was my lover.” Gwen spoke up, her tongue sharp and voice laced with hate as she glared at Scarlett.“Who the fuck do you think you are to talk to my daughter!?” Vivian lashed out immediately, glaring
