Once Upon a Night With My Stepdad chapter 45
Scarlett got to school and as soon as she stepped out of the car, all eyes fell on her. This time around, it wasn't because they were admiring her, it was because of the rumors that had been spreading about her. She didn't spare any of them a look but majestically walked towards her class.“Scarlett!!” She turned around and saw Nelly running towards her. She waited for her to get there and then Nelly started walking with her.“So is it true? You and Ethan?” She asked, unable to stop her curiosity from getting the better of her.Scarlett smiled, “He can continue spreading the rumors, I don't care.” They entered the class together and as expected, all eyes fell on Scarlett. Everyone started to murmur amongst themselves but she didn't mind them and went ahead to take her seat.“She's so shameless honestly, I thought she was different.”“I knew she was pretending, she isn't as tough to get as she puts out. Imagine throwing herself at Ethan!” Scarlett overheard two girls discussing behi

“What are you going on about? I really don't have time for this.” Adrian said nonchalantly, opening his car door and attempting to get in but Ethan spoke up again, stopping him in his tracks.“I'm sure Vivian will love to know that you're fucking her daughter and also fucking her.” Ethan's eyes grew dark as sinister thoughts enveloped his head. A slight grin tugged at the corner of his lips as he watched Adrian slowly get upset.“You’re no better than me Ethan, you seem to forget that you're also sleeping with Vivian, or need I remind you?” Ethan scoffed at Adrian's words, unfazed by his attempt to scare him off. He had a mission and nothing was going to stop him from achieving it. Shaking his head, he let out a chuckle and placed his hand on top of Adrian's car.“You've got nothing on me, Adrian. But I have you right where I want you. You want to marry Vivian, right?” He paused, seemingly disgusted by what he had just said. He pushed his head back and scrunched his nose.“Although I

In awe, Scarlett jumped off Adrian's lap, blinking her eyes rapidly, like there was something suddenly stuck in her eyes. Adrian's words rang repeatedly in her head as she tried to make sense of it. She stared at him with wide eyes, as if another head had suddenly popped out of his neck.“What did you say?” She asked in a whisper, she could already feel her heart in her stomach.“You can't be serious.” She scoffed, shaking her head and deciding to tell it off as a joke but the stern look on Adrian's face proved otherwise.“Scarlett, I'm really sorry but I don't see this affair heading anywhere. I think it'll be better for both of us if we just call it quits. Besides, I'm happy being with your mother and she has been suspecting me for a while now, I don't want anything to ruin the relationship I have with her.” Adrian explained in a soft tone, finding it hard to look up at Scarlett.Scarlett's jaw dropped, her vision slowly becoming blurred by the tears that gathered in her eyes. A hug

“What?” Nelly quickly wiped her eyes and stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. She started rubbing her eyes, acting like she was getting something out of there. “I'm not crying, I just got something in my eye and I'm trying to get it out.” She sniffed. Scarlett stared at her, trying to figure out what the problem was because she was sure she saw her crying.When she entered the bathroom, Nelly was standing in front of the mirror, bawling her eyes out and she even heard sounds of sniffing. So how could it be that something just went into her eye?“Are you sure that's the problem? Because I could have sworn that I heard you crying just some moments ago.” Scarlett persisted but Nelly was determined to prove to her that she wasn't in fact crying.“Don't worry Scarlett, something just went in my eye, that's all there is.” She giggled and quickly wiped the tears off her face before walking to meet Scarlett who was still standing by the door with a mixed expression on her face.

Scarlett turned around to leave, but Adrian was quick to grab her by the wrist. He pulled her back, causing her to land on his chest and his hand quickly snuck around her waist, holding her in place. She looked up at the man she had grown fond of, and her heart missed a beat. He could feel her breath seize and her heart race, and even when she got weak in the knees, he expertly held her up.“You are not going to have anything to do with that motherfucker, let alone sleep with him.” He leaned in to whisper into her ear, causing her to shudder. She batted her lashes at him, her heart squeezing in hurt. She tried to conceal her pain and fury, but that proved to be difficult as the redness of her eyes gave her away. How on earth can a single person spike both love and angry reaction from her? She loved him so much and wanted him badly but at the same time, she hated him. She bit down on her lip and then looked away from him, blinking her tears away.“You can't tell me what I can or canno

Scarlett opened the door for Ethan to step and he flashed her a smile, trying to be charming. But she was far too busy trying to mask how horny she was. She adjusted her dress and led him into the living room.“Are you okay?” Ethan questioned, noticing Scarlet's discomfort. She stared at him and then gave a nod, feeling a bit flustered that he could sense what she was trying to hide. When she received his text, she couldn't deny that she had thoughts of letting him satisfy her sexual urges and she knew quite well that Ethan would jump at that opportunity but she couldn't let her guard down like that.“Are you sure? You look a bit uncomfortable.” He pointed out, giving her a scrutinizing stare but she shrugged and insisted that she was fine. Ethan decided to let it slide and threw himself on the couch, making himself comfortable.“Why are you even here?” Scarlett took a seat opposite him, crossing her legs on top of each other as she gave him a suspicious look. It was quite late and i

Vivian stared at Maxwell, surprised by his statement. She wondered what he meant and immediately got suspicious. She couldn't shake the feeling that Maxwell was up to something and that he knew something he wasn't supposed to know. This got her a bit shaken up, but she decided to shrug it off while keeping it in mind that there could be danger looming.Without saying another word to Maxwell, she trotted off to her office. Her secretary welcomed her and told her that she had sent some documents to her via email. Vivian thanked her and entered her office, settling down and bringing out her computer to work.She had decided to come to work that day to clear her records and make sure that everyone was perfect from her side. This was because Scarlett was coming for the meeting that Saturday, and she didn't want her to find any reason to embarrass her in public again. Vivian was busy working when Richard strode into her office, handsomely draped in a royal blue suit. He wore a very unpleas

After seeing the photos, Vivian became uncomfortable. It was very obvious that someone was following her and tracking her every movement, she had no idea what that person's motive was but she wasn't going to let them achieve it. Quickly, she took her purse and headed out of the room, not minding the fact that she had already paid in full. She called the boy who was supposed to meet her there and told him to forget about coming. She got into her car and drove home immediately.Vivian's hands were shaky as she drove, she was perspiring heavily as she wondered who it was that took those photos of her walking into the hotel. Why would that person do such a thing and what did he need it for? All these questions kept going through her head, causing her to develop a headache.She soon arrived at the mansion and hurriedly made her way inside, aiming to go and get some rest as it had been a very busy day for her. First, she had to prepare for the meeting that would soon be held, then the dete

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
