Once Upon a Night With My Stepdad Chapter 66
“Well..” she folded her arms. “I… I saw the engagement party online and I got the address of the house.” She replied and put on a stern face again, staring at both women who were obviously furious with her.“What are you two yelling at me for? This is my boyfriend's house and I'm here to stay!” She said and Vivian couldn't help but chuckle, amazed at the guts that Isabella had. Adrian had not said a word, he watched the three women get on each other's necks with no clue how to stop it.“Your boyfriend doesn't have a dime in this house! This is my house and I want you to get your dirty self out of here!” Vivian fired, her eyes becoming darker. Isabella seemed to be shocked and turned to Adrian, expecting him to say something but he was quiet and even had his neck bent. She furrowed her brows in confusion, wondering what was going on. She had originally thought that the house belonged to Adrian but hearing Vivian say what she had just said got her confused.“Adrian? What is she saying
Once Upon a Night With My Stepdad Chapter 67
Scarlett kept on cursing, biting her lip, and seething all through the drive back home. It's a miracle that she managed to get home without getting herself involved in an accident. Anger would be an understatement to describe what she was feeling at that moment, she wanted to rip Isabella to shreds but she was forced to calm herself down.How could she be thinking about fighting her fellow girl for a man? How did she get to the point of letting such a thought cross her mind? She is Scarlett Davenport, she is not a chaser of men! She went straight to the kitchen as soon as she got into the house. She got herself a glass of water, gulped it down, and stood there with her head against the wall, trying to calm her nerves. She couldn't help but wonder if Isabella was actually telling the truth about being Adrian's boyfriend. If that's the truth, then why did he get engaged to her mother and even have the guts to sleep with her several times? She let out a loud groan, her blood slowly beg
Once Upon a Night With My Stepdad Chapter 68
Adrian, Scarlett, and Isabella all snapped their heads towards Vivian, each of them shocked to their bones. Their mouths hung open as they stared at her in disbelief. Scarlett especially could not bear the shock and shame of finding out that her mother knew all along about her illegitimate affair with her soon to be stepfather.She wasn't as shameless as her mother, she feels remorse for her actions unlike her mother who wouldn't give a flying fuck about sleeping with any man. A tear dropped from her eyes as she waited impatiently along with Adrian for what her mother was going to say next.“You know? H—how?” Adrian stuttered, equally feeling ashamed.“I have been observing you two for a while now and I started to notice a few things.” Vivian kept a straight face, walking over to sit on her favorite sofa. Everyone's eyes followed every one of her movements. Isabella was standing with her arms folded, trying to understand what was going on.“On our engagement night for example… I saw t

After the confrontation with Scarlett at the mall, Isabella realized that it would take more than just mere words to get what she wanted. If she wanted to have Adrian back, she would have to think of a full proof plan, one that would ensure that Scarlett and Adrian had stayed separated.No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't think of anything. Vivian was the only option she had, but that plan flopped. She wasn't able to think up any new plans. At a time, she thought about getting rid of Scarlett by killing her, but she quickly shook that thought off.She could stoop low, but not so low as to kill a person. She has never done that and would never think of doing it. She didn't want anything that would land her in jail.Isabella was still lost in thought when the door opened and Adrian walked in. She ran to hug him, but he gently pushed her away, glaring at her. She lowered her gaze and scratched the back of her neck as if she regretted any of the things she did.“Telling Vivian abou

The following morning, Adrian arrived at Joey's house and met him having breakfast with his wife. They all exchanged pleasantries before he asked about Isabella.“She's upstairs, I invited her for breakfast but she refused to come down and she hasn't eaten anything since yesterday night,” Joey answered with a shrug and Adrian sighed before going upstairs to get her by himself.He knocked on the door but there was no response so he pushed it open and luckily, it wasn't locked. He found her sitting at the edge of the bed, sobbing uncontrollably. He was suspicious but approached her, placing a hand on her shoulder. She jolted, turning to look at him, her eyes red as tomatoes.“What happened?” He was genuinely worried about her.“Adrian..” she sniffed, grabbing his hand and turning to face him. “I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I totally regret everything I've done in the two days that I spent here.” She sobbed, wiping her tears off.“Really?” Adrian was skeptical.“I truly am sorry. I should

Vivian was sitting in the living room, sipping some juice that a maid served her earlier. She could hear Adrian incessantly knocking on Scarlett's door, asking her to open up. She was worried and wondered if they had a fight but decided to let them sort out their own problems unless they decided to involve her.The doorbell rang and a maid went to see who it was. Detective Roberts made his way in and went to meet Vivian in the living room. “Oh detective, what brings you here?” Vivian offered him a seat but he was far too busy glaring at her to sit down. He did not look happy at all and she immediately noticed.“Is everything okay?” She asked.“How exactly can everything be fine Vivian? When you have refused to come out with the truth and make things easier for everyone!?” The detective's voice was harsh and intimidating, making Vivian flinch from her position. “What sort of embarrassment is this!? Why did you come to my house to yell at me?” She raged.“All of this wouldn't be happe
Once Upon a Night With My Stepdad Chapter 72
Scarlett's eyes flipped open and she looked around, trying to recall where she was. She finally understood that she was in her room, lying on the bed. She suddenly remembered everything that happened before she passed out, everything that Adrian said to her, and immediately broke down. She cried her eyes out, her heart aching like an arrow had been driven into it. She couldn't believe that the man she had been fighting to have for close to a year now was nothing but a fraud. He had been pretending all this while and kept his motives hidden. It was almost as if the universe was constantly testing her, things always seemed to turn sour every time she started to enjoy herself. “I hope this all ends up being a dream.” She sniffed, tears blurring her vision. She pulled her own hair, overwhelmed by pain and anger. She didn't know what to think or what to do, she felt like she was drowning and there was no one to save her. She sat up on the bed, tears still pouring down her cheeks.The doo

The car came to a halt and Vivian took her hands off the steering wheel, shaking from fear and looking around, wondering where she was. The gun was still pointed at her head, and her captor refused to move it, he didn't even speak to her throughout the drive. Her heart thumped loudly against her chest, afraid that her death was near.“Pl.. please don't kill me. What do you want? Money? I'll give you lots of money, but please don't hurt me.” She pleaded, breathing heavily, her hands up in the air.“Shut the fuck up!” Her captor barked at her before getting out of the car in a hurry. He rushed to the front, pulled her out, and kept the gun pointed to her head. She let out a shriek, shaking at the spot, afraid to make any sudden movements. He was wearing a mask, which he slowly took off and Vivian's eyes widened. Her soul almost left her body when her captor revealed himself.“Maxwell?” She exclaimed, her eyes glued to his grinning face.“Oh yes Vivian, I'm glad you still remember me. I

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
