Once Upon a Night With My Stepdad Chapter 56
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

A MONTH LATERDepression was slowly setting in as Scarlett kept having to face the reality of her mother and Adrian getting married soon. Their wedding has been fixed to take place in summer, which is barely a month from now. The preparations are ongoing, and she can't take the heat any longer.Crying has become the order of the day for her. She couldn't go a night without bawling her eyes out and wishing that either her mother or Adrian would forfeit the wedding. The news of the wedding was all over the internet, and Scarlett's coursemates kept congratulating her on her mother's wedding, which made her even more depressed.She was no longer the girl that everyone knew. She maintained her academic excellence, although it took everything in her to do so. Apart from that, her social life was in shambles as she kept cutting herself off extracurricular activities and even going out to bars and clubs. She was always on her own, especially because Nelly was still upset with her.As if that

Vivian left for her trip that same day, Scarlett was left in the care of the maids who helped her get to her room, bathed her, and put her to bed to rest. Richard arrived some hours later and went straight to her room to see her. Vivian had told him that Scarlett was in a really bad state of health, and he left everything behind to go and see his niece. Scarlett was happy when he arrived. He sat by her bed and held her hand lovingly, having a look of concern on his face. “How are you dear? Are you feeling any better?” He questioned, but she slowly shook her head, already sweating due to the extreme discomfort she was feeling.“I don't feel better at all, uncle. If anything, I feel worse. I'm so sick and dizzy, I hate feeling this way.” She let out a groan, acting like a baby at the sight of her uncle who caressed her hair.“You're going to be just fine, my child. Have you had your medicine?” He asked.“No, I have to eat first. The maids are still making my food.”“Alright, don't wo

Vivian was sitting in front of her mirror, applying her lotion, when her phone started to ring. She picked it up, and it turned out to be Detective Roberts. She groaned exhaustively, wondering what he wanted this time around.She knew it was going to be the same old story; he had probably found some bullsh*t evidence and wanted her to come in and see it. She still went ahead and answered the call, having no choice.“Hi, Vivian.”“Detective Roberts, what do you want? Don't you think it's too early?” She snapped, already bored with the phone call.“Well, we're not enemies, are we? Why are you talking like that?”“Can you just tell me why you called me? Please!” She let out another aggressive groan."Fine, then, have it your way. Some new evidence came in, and I'd like you to come to the station this morning so that we can look at it.” He said, and she heavily rolled her eyes. She was expecting this; she saw it coming."Well, I'm not even in town as it stands; I'm afraid I won't be able

Adrian's eyes didn't leave Scarlett that morning. He admired how beautiful and calm she looked in her sleep as he lovingly stroked her hair. She was sleeping in his arms, and he didn't want to wake her. The sun had started to rise slowly, but it was still pretty dark. Scarlett moved a little, stretching her legs as her eyes slowly went open. She smiled as soon as her eyes met his, and he placed a kiss on her forehead. “Good morning, beautiful.” He whispered, moving a strand of hair on her face away to be able to see her face perfectly. She blushed and snuggled closer to him, hoping that all of that wouldn't turn out to be a dream. “Good morning.” She answered, recalling everything that happened last night. They both recalled it. It was one of the best sex of their lives. Adrian smiled at her and proceeded to claim her lips in a sensual kiss. She placed her hand on the back of his head, pulling him in and deepening the kiss, and his hands explored her body, their legs all over

Scarlett was in her room. She had just finished taking her drugs when the door opened, and a familiar scent filled her nostrils. She immediately got butterflies in her belly, and then she looked up only to find Adrian smiling and coming towards her. “Hi..” she smiled, opening her arms to receive him. He hugged her passionately, climbing into the bed after taking his shoes off. “How are you?” He questioned, touching her cheek while she helped him take his jacket off. She missed him all day, and she couldn't stop thinking about him and waiting for him to get back. “I'm fine now that you're here, I missed you so much.” She wrapped her arms around his neck while he held her waist firmly. They couldn't even hide their desire for each other. It raged through them like a wolf crying to be let out of its cage. “I hope you ate and took your drugs.”“All that is done.” She giggled and placed a kiss on his cheek. He reciprocated by pulling her in for a hotter french kiss. They were so engros

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.” “
Once Upon a Night With My Stepdad Chapter 78
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
