Once Upon a Night With My Stepdad Chapter 20
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

lAfter Adrian drove off in an oddly weird manner, Scarlett turned around and started going into the venue with Nelly. The house was a large-story building with a fountain in the middle of the compound. It had small flower gardens near the windows, and it looked exquisite from the outside. Scarlett admired it, but it was nothing compared to the beauty of her penthouse. The house was exclusively for the football team. They all lived there, including Ethan and Mike. They all had their own rooms and living rooms, kitchen included. As soon as Scarlett entered the house, she was greeted by the gruesome and strong stench of cigarettes and alcohol, followed by cum. Her eyes wandered all over the place, and she saw several people making out at different corners of the room. This was expected; after all, they were college students.Ethan was standing by the bar with Mike and Marcus, along with some other members of the team, and they were discussing Scarlett. She seemed to be the topic of alm

Adrian sat in his office at the club. The music coming from outside was supposed to be enough to drown out the thoughts of Scarlett, but nothing seemed to be working. The harder he tried to stop thinking about her, the more her image kept flashing in his head. Her vulgar dressing that night refused to leave his head; he couldn't help but wonder if some scumbag was touching her at that moment. What if they try to take advantage of her?A knock came on his door. It sounded faint due to all the noise coming from outside, but he still heard it. He ordered whoever it was to come in, and as soon as the door pushed open, Victoria sexily made her way in. She shut the door and started to catwalk over to Adrian, trying to seduce him with her eyes.“Hey there, buffalo.” She bit her lip. She got to where he was and trailed his finger along his chest before settling on his lap and crossing her legs.“It's been a while since I got to sit on that fat cock of yours.” She bit her lip again and lowered

Ethan's car came to a halt in front of an exquisite-looking restaurant, and they both got out of the car. He chose this place on purpose because he wanted to impress Scarlett. Besides, he didn't think a lady of her class would settle for anything less. They made their way into the restaurant and were led to their table, which Ethan had already paid for before their arrival.As soon as they settled down, a waiter came to take their orders, and Ethan asked Scarlett to go first. Instead of the expensive meals, Ethan had thought she would go for, Scarlett ended up ordering a simple brunch meal and some orange juice. This came as a shock to Ethan because he had prepped himself heavily for this date. He came out with a lot of cash and even a stocked credit card, all just to impress her. He thought that, being a heiress, she would only go for the most expensive food. Scarlett proved him wrong, and he marveled at this.Soon, they were done with their food and started heading out when Scarlet

Scarlett's eyes flickered open, and she stared at the ceiling for a moment, trying to recall what day it was and where she was. A loud gasp escaped from her lips when she finally realized that it was Monday—a school day! She immediately turned her head to look at the clock, and it was almost nine in the morning.“Shit!!” She cursed and jumped out of bed, angry at herself for oversleeping. Her lecture was in the next thirty minutes, and she hadn't gotten anything done yet. Everywhere was a mess, and she hadn't the slightest idea where to begin.She leaped into the bathroom and rushed through, brushing her teeth and taking her bath. She came back into the bedroom and picked out a pair of jeans and a crop top to match. She put on sneakers and then grabbed her purse and notebook before heading downstairs. She left the room in its messy state, deciding to leave it there until she came home.“How did I oversleep!?” She groaned, digging into her purse and searching for her keys. It took her

It was a Saturday morning and Scarlett was getting ready to leave for the office. She finished putting on some light makeup, grabbed her bag off the couch, and took her car keys before leaving the penthouse. She entered her car and drove down to the office for the weekly executive meeting. The meeting was originally scheduled to be on Fridays but being the president, she could adjust it to her taste so she decided that it would now be held on Saturdays. She got to the company and walked into its empty halls, her stilettos making a loud noise as they hit the tiled floor while she was walking. She got to the boardroom where the meeting would be held and all the executives were already seated, waiting for her. They had been muttering amongst themselves before she entered but everywhere became silent with her presence. She greeted everyone but noticed that her mother was nowhere to be found… again. She shook her head and called for the meeting to begin.Rachel, Vivian's assistant, whose

Scarlett flashed her charming smile at Adrian before making her way into his apartment. He was still wondering how she got his address, but he went ahead to lock the door and join her in the living room.“What are you doing here? And how did you get my address?” He asked again.“Well, I had to use this pretty face of mine to get your address from the club. I was there earlier.” Scarlett answered, dropping her purse on the table and taking a seat. Adrian was standing in front of her, a gentle smile playing across his lips. He was happy she was there, even though he was acting casual about it. He had been worried about her since the day she left with Ethan, and he was relieved that she was okay.“Dad, I'm hungry.” Scarlett let out a low grunt. “I haven't eaten anything all day; I've been so busy.” “What would you like to eat?” Adrian questioned me, walking into the kitchen. He was prepared to make her happy, but he didn't know why he was doing it.“Pasta would be great,” Scarlett answ

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
