Once Upon a Night With My Stepdad Chapter 36
Scarlett admired her reflection in the mirror after she was done getting ready. She only applied light make-up but she looked stunning. She lifted her black purse off the bed and started heading downstairs. On her way to her car, she gave Lily a ring, asking her if she wanted to come along to Heartfelt Artistic Gallery. “I'm kinda occupied right now but we can hang out later when you're back.” That was Lily's response. Scarlett said it was okay, she hung up and got into her car. She put on her seatbelt and then drove off.Soon, she arrived at the gallery, she was approached by a female docent who welcomed her and offered to take her around the gallery. The docent was smiling, beaming ear to ear as she walked Scarlett into the gallery, she was quite popular and her tireless efforts to help humanity through her foundation won the hearts of many.They were walking around the art gallery and looking at several pieces when a particular one caught her eye. She walked over to where it was

Adrian came out of the bathroom and met Scarlett, still sitting at her table with Lily and Josh. Scarlett looked sad, probably because Ethan had to leave and Adrian knew exactly where he was. He threw his face away and told his date that it was time for them to leave. He led the way out after settling the bills, and his date briskly walked behind him.“Why did we have to leave so early? We didn't even get to eat anything.” The innocent-looking lady asked as they drove out of the restaurant and onto the busy road.“I'm sorry, but I have something urgent to attend to.” Adrian sounded gentle. The lady did nothing bad to him, but he wasn't interested in her or a relationship with her.“Oh, so where are we going?” She inquired.“I'm dropping you off at your house. Please, I don't think I'm ready for any commitment right now, and I wouldn't want to waste your time and give you the impression that I'm into you. I hope you can respect my decision, and please don't be upset.” Adrian said it in

Scarlett and Lily were in Scarlett's living room, their eyes fixed on the big screen television. They chuckled at a statement one of the characters of the show made, and then Scarlett turned to take a long look at Lily.“What? Why are you staring at me like that?” Lily turned to face her.“So you notice the look I'm giving you right now, but you played blind to Josh's breathtaking stare all afternoon? He's literally in love with you.” Scarlett snapped. She remembered exactly how Josh had his love-filled eyes fixed on Lily, like she was the only one in the room. “You know, you only get lucky once with this kind of thing. You might never find another who looks at you the way he does.” “Oh please, Scarlett. I've told you this before, I don't want anything of that sort, at least not for now.” Lily rolled her eyes.“What if you don't find it when you're finally ready?” “Why are you suddenly sounding like some love expert? I don't want any commitment for now, okay? I really don't want to

It had been three weeks already, and Scarlett's semester break was over. She was going to go back to the hassle and tussle of school, which she wasn't looking forward to. She was all set to leave for school and was packing her things into her car that morning.One of the maids, Sheila, was helping her take her belongings to the car and also get some necessary things that she had missed packing.“Oh, that's right, Sheila?”“Yes ma'am?” “Can you go to my room and get the bag beside my bed? The one I brought from the mall.” “Sure ma'am,” Sheila answered and went to get what Scarlett demanded. Scarlett, on the other hand, went back into the house to get some snacks for the road. Sheila came back outside but didn't find Scarlett. She loaded the bag in the trunk while waiting. She heard the gate opening and turned to see their porter opening the gate for a car for someone. They were not expecting any visitors, so she called for Scarlett.Before Scarlett came out, Adrian stepped down from

Scarlett and Nelly were just coming out from their first class of the semester when Nelly stopped walking and turned to face Scarlett, smiling widely.“Have you heard?” Nelly questioned. Scarlett, who seemed uninterested, was busy on her phone. She looked up with a perplexed expression and shrugged.“Heard what?” “The football team is hosting a welcome back party at their house tonight.” Nelly happily announced. Scarlett shook her head slowly, “I didn't know about it. You know you're always up to date about everything happening in school.” “That's right.” Nelly giggled. “So are you going?” “Nah, I don't think so. I have a lot of work to do tonight.” Scarlett replied, and Nelly looked sad.Vivian's secretary, Rachel, had sent the month's summary to Scarlett. It contained everything that had happened in the last month, including the finances and different deals. So she wanted to take her time to go through everything and take note of what had been going on, especially due to her mot

Scarlett turned around swiftly. She didn't want Ethan to know that she had been going through his phone. She moved away from the table and acted natural, although she found that a very difficult thing to do.She couldn't believe what she had just seen, and it was difficult to swallow. She felt embarrassed that her mom would stoop to that same level. Sleeping with Ethan? How could she be so dirty? Scarlett immediately recalled what happened at the house during the holiday. Could it be that Ethan was the one fucking her mother that night that she was looking for him? That did explain why he was sweating so much and even had the nerve to lie about working out. She was so pissed at her mother, at Ethan, and at herself for not figuring it out sooner because it seemed to have been going on for a really long time. Ethan walked up to her and noticed how tense she was looking. He asked if she was okay and she said that nothing was wrong with her.“Scarlett.” He called, sinking into the sofa

Scarlett opened her eyes the next morning, only to find Adrian still lying in bed next to her. She was shocked to see him there; she didn't expect it at all. She had thought that he would have disappeared by the time she woke up and would regret everything that they did, but that didn't seem to be the case.“Good morning.” He greeted her and placed a kiss on her forehead. This shocked her even more. He stared tenderly at her and caressed her cheek; she couldn't help but blush.“Good morning.” She returned his greeting and snuggled in closer to him. He chuckled lightly.“Are you going to school today?” He questioned her, but she didn't feel like leaving his side at all.“I don't think I'll be able to concentrate on anything today,” she blushed. “Besides, I have only one class, so I think I'm going to skip school today. The weekend is here already.” “Alright then. Would you like to come to my place then? I hope you won't mind that it's not as fancy as what you're used to.” He offered.

“Scarlett, I really don't know what came over me,” Ethan stated, following Scarlett into the house but she didn't say anything to him until she got to the living room and settled on the couch.“I was drunk and acted stupid, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.” He continued. She stared at him, not knowing exactly what to say to him. At one point, she blamed her mother and not him, she was the one who drove him to the point of being drunk to stupor by using him and throwing him away. Well, he should have expected it.“Please forgive me, Scarlett.” He repeated and she opened her mouth to speak when her phone started to ring. She pulled her phone out of her purse and saw that Nelly was the one calling. She answered the call and placed the phone on her right ear.“Hi, Nelly.” “Is it true!?” Nelly sounded excited. “Is what true?” Scarlett questioned, a little confused.“That you slept with Ethan?” Scarlett raised her eyes to look at Ethan who was still standing there, looking all sober and

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
