Once Upon a Night With My Stepdad Chapter 51
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

Scarlett hung up as soon as Adrian said those words. She couldn't bear to listen to any more of it. She was in shock for a few seconds, she was unable to accept the fact that Adrian would never be hers. Things were moving fine a couple of weeks ago, but now it's all upside down and it left her shattered.She did nothing but blame her mother for what was happening. But at the same time, she wondered if Adrian couldn't tell that her mother was simply a whore. Why would he agree to spend the rest of his life with an old woman who goes about sleeping with young men? It didn't make any sense to her. Could there perhaps be a hidden reason why Adrian is interested in her mother?The hurt she was feeling made her think of several different possibilities. Her resentment towards her mother seemed to suddenly intensify and she thought of nothing more but to take everything away from her mother. She needed to do something that would not only distract her from her pain but also hurt her mother's f

The week went by really fast and soon, it was Friday. Scarlett had no other choice but to honor her mother's invitation, she had to attend the engagement party even though she really didn't want to. Knowing that she was about to lose Adrian to her mother broke her heart, he should have been her but he chose her mother over her. She was busy packing a few things that she would be needing for a weekend trip when the doorbell rang. She wiped the tears on her face and went to check who was at the door. Ethan was standing in front of her as soon as she opened the door, smiling broadly with a little bag he hung over his shoulder. She wasn't surprised to see him because he had told her that he would be joining her back to her mansion that day. Without saying a word, Scarlett moved out of the way for him to enter. He made himself comfortable on the couch while she went back upstairs to finish up her packing. She still hadn't recovered from the shock of losing Adrian and it was making her

“Adrian..” Vivian's excited voice sounded, causing Scarlett to quickly pull away from Adrian, letting go of his hand.“Oh, there you are.” She walked right into the kitchen, immediately picking up the awkward situation of the place. She stared at Adrian and then at Scarlett, wondering what they were doing in there alone.“Is everything alright? You both look spooked.” She pointed out. Adrian opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out as his brain was not organized at that moment. He was busy looking forward to the kiss he was going to get from Scarlett to think straight.“Scarlett, are you okay?” She noticed the pale expression on her face. Scarlett scratched her head and went straight to the fridge. She grabbed a juice box and left the kitchen without saying a word to either of them. She ran back to her room, shut the door, and remained there. “What happened?” Vivian turned to Adrian, giving him a suspicious look. She wondered if he had said anything mean to her because, as sh

Scarlett gathered enough strength to push Adrian away, forcing him to let go of her, and then she glared at him.“What are you doing? Did you forget that you're my stepfather?” She asked, fighting back her tears. Adrian did not even know what had come over him. He scratched his head, regretting what he had just done. He had acted on impulse. Seeing Scarlett made him lose his senses, especially because he hasn't been able to get her off his mind all day.“I'm sorry, I–” “I don't want to hear anything. You should get back to the party, your fiancee is probably waiting for you.” She said spitefully, placing a lot of emphasis on the ‘fiancee’ part. Adrian sighed, letting his head hang. He opened his mouth to speak again after seconds of silence, but Scarlett quickly walked away, not wanting to talk to him anymore. She headed straight to her room, deciding to forget about the party entirely. She locked herself up in her room and collapsed into the bed, sobbing.Minutes later, her phone

Determined to interrupt what was happening, Adrian cleared his throat loudly and then stepped into the room. Ethan and the maid he was with quickly moved away from each other. The maid pulled her dress down immediately, staring down at her feet to avoid eye contact with Adrian. She was scared that he would tell Vivian, and she would lose her job.Ethan, on the other hand, did not show any sign of remorse, which Adrian expected as he knew him to be shameless already. In fear, the maid scrambled out of the room, leaving Ethan and Adrian alone. Ethan pulled his pants up and fumed at Adrian for interrupting his fun.“Why did you even come in here? Couldn't you have just walked away?” He questioned. Adrian shook his head.“Do you know that Scarlett could have been the one to find you? Is this what you would have said to her?” “Oh please.” Ethan rolled his eyes heavily, wiping his forehead with the back of his palm as he had been sweating profusely.“You’re always talking about how much yo

Scarlett's eyes widened when the text message turned out to be a photo of her mother walking into a hotel with some random man in a hoodie. She couldn't hide her rising anger, her face squeezed into a frown and her grip tightened on the phone. She felt disgusted staring at it, although she was aware of her mother's infidelity.“Is this recent?” Scarlett wondered as she felt odd about the need for her mother to cheat barely twenty four hours after her engagement. It didn't make any sense. She believed that it was an old photo but still, it's a danger to the firm if seen by anyone else.Annoyed, she picked up her phone and called her mother who answered almost immediately.“Hi Scarlett! I was about to call you even, are you home safe?” Vivian's voice rang. “Really mom?” Scarlett's voice was cold. Vivian was a bit confused.“What? Is there a problem?” She inquired.“What's this photo of yours? Going into a hotel with a man!” Vivian gasped audibly, incredibly shocked that Scarlett had s

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
