Paint My World Red Chapter 175 – Because of Love
(Aya’s POV)Almost eight months ago, when I first came here to the Carlington Residence, I believed I was born a selfless person with no ‘me’ time in my system. I had never expected to be part of this family when all I wanted at that time was to get a job and replace the parure Ryan gave me. I was not qualified for the job, but I had to lie to Red. The pieces of jewelry, the need for money, and the hope of finishing my studies and getting a good job for my father and Katie were the forces that pushed me to pretend to be someone else. Who knew I would meet Red, the man who had told me many times I was not qualified, had given me a chance because of his love for his children? It was not even a year, but a lot of things had happened in my life. I turned my head and gazed lovingly at my husband. He didn’t have to say it, but I knew deep inside he was hurting. I might not have witnessed their long years of marriage before the plane crash, but I saw how he tried to cope, live for his chil

(Red’s POV)“Are you sure?” Mike asked me as Emmet and Scarlett went to the playroom to talk to Rosie.“You said it yourself, Mike, that even if I don’t press charges, she will still go to jail,” I muttered, sighing as I eyed Aya sitting in the living room, murmuring words to our little one as she caressed her belly.I hoped it was still because of her pregnancy that she was soft-hearted, sobbing over the story she heard from Scarlett. She lived poorly with Emmet, who worked as a security guard in a warehouse in the province he mentioned, but she never looked sad, not even regretting marrying him. If asked, she said she wanted to stay dead in her family’s eyes rather than go back, but Sherrilyn found her again, threatening her of hurting Emmet and Rosie if she didn’t help her with money. Sherrilyn must have forgotten that even her daughter signed a prenuptial agreement before our marriage, and the few gifts I gave her as a gift would take time to repossess because of her death. “But

(Aya’s POV) Three months later... I raised my hand, my fingers trailing my little one’s soft skin as she had her milk from my breast. I smiled when she stopped, a habit she seemed to have whenever she heard something familiar. “You heard daddy’s voice, Athena?” I asked lovingly. When I raised my head, my lips curved into a sweet smile seeing Red stopping and leaning on the doorframe. He kept his cell phone inside his pocket and gazed at us. “Cora left already?” I asked as I fixed my nursing bra and thought to pump milk later. I could not believe I was blessed with lots of milk. He shook his head. “She’s hiking with Ariana tomorrow. Can you believe it?” He chuckled. “Or should I call a rescuer in advance?” I chuckled, shaking my head. “Don’t say that in front of your sister. She might think of something else, like camping there for the night. So, please...” As Roman promised, his two children, Ariana and Red, stayed until I gave birth, and they seemed to have changed their mind

(Aya’s POV)“Aya, are you sure you’re heading to the right address?” Addie asked me.“Rose Hills, right?” I gritted my teeth. I was glad we were only talking over the phone; if not, I would have strangled my cousin. “And guess what? I was literally walking on a hill!” I growled, hating that I rode the bus instead of a taxi.I had to use GPS to help me find the address she gave, and before I knew it, I was already walking through a long winding road because the Carlington Residence was sitting beautifully on the hill.“Ah!” Addie chuckled, not expecting this would happen to me. “Tell me, where are you now?”“I’m now in front of Buckingham Palace,” I answered, squinting at the luxury villa behind the majestic and elegant metal railing of the gate and checking my cell phone, telling me I had reached my destination.After an hour of walking, I finally reached the end of my journey, only to be stopped by the guard as he asked for my purpose.“Interview,” I mouthed.“ID and letter,” he mutt

(Aya’s POV)My hands flew, covering my face, hoping they would hide me from embarrassment when my three interviewers stood up. Tears rolled down my cheeks, wishing I had the power to vanish from the face of the earth.“Is everything all right?” It was Liam’s voice, asking me worriedly.I shook my head, then nodded, unsure what to tell them, but there was no other way to get out of this place except to walk the long hallway to reach the main door, hike down to get into the gate, and go on foot to the bus station unless I wanted to roll down from the gate.“My legs…” I cried, pointing at my right leg, not caring about the job anymore. I just wanted to get this over with and run away from them. “Oh!” Ariana exclaimed. “Did you walk here with those really beautiful shoes?”I could imagine her suppressing a smile, but I had to answer her, so I nodded. Then, I heard a sigh, and my body jerked when someone knelt before me and took off my shoes.“Ariana, ask for the heating pad. Liam, get m

(Red’s POV) “She’s trouble, Liam,” I sighed. I didn’t know if I would be relieved that her choice was a woman, not my kind or me. I was tired of women chasing me after my wife died in a plane crash. “How can you say she’s trouble? You haven’t seen her with your kids yet,” he chuckled, narrowing his eyes at me. “Don’t tell me you’re attracted to her.” I opened my mouth to lie, but he raised his index finger, stopping me from talking. “I’m a man too, Red, and I saw how you looked at her,” he clucked his tongue. “She’s one lad with perfect orbs inside her blouse and the legs, man! Don’t tell me you didn’t feel anything?” “I don’t know what you’re saying,” I denied. “Aya’s beautiful. She should be joining the pageants, not applying for a nanny.” He continued to pile the papers on the table. “Oh, by the way, your mother-in-law called, asking about the kids again.” He stopped what he was doing, crossing his arms to his chest as he looked at me. “Why don’t you allow them to have a va

(Aya’s POV)“Are you asking me if I want to accept the job?” I asked Red, clarifying if I was truly hearing it from him.“That’s just what I’ve said, Aya,” he said as he stared into my eyes.I blinked, wanting to tell Red to stop looking into my eyes because I could hardly think. I was sitting across the most handsome guy I had ever met, so gorgeous that if his lips kissed me, I might forget that I was here for a job and was under a pretense about my gender. He shouldn’t be my type, but her alluring sister. I just wished he would relax and show me those perfect teeth in his smile but smiling around this place seemed a mortal sin.Ariana was the only sinner.“If you accept the job, I will have the contract ready so you can review it,” He said, looking at my feet.When his forehead creased, I curled my toes and was relieved he was looking at my feet. At least he would not see my cheeks turning crimson. Good thing Leslie encouraged me to join her in the nail salon yesterday because it wo

(Aya’s POV)“Did you walk from Rose Hills to here?” Addie’s eyebrows were knitted, but I knew she was only teasing me as she widened the door.My digital wristwatch told me it was past ten in the evening already. I mouthed, ‘Sorry’ as I entered her apartment, put the paper bags down, and walked to the living room. I slumped on the couch and closed my eyes as my body screamed from exhaustion. I hardly noticed Leslie peering from the kitchen and then advancing toward us with beer cans in her hands.“Nope! I think she went shopping,” Leslie chuckled, placing the cans on the center table and glancing at the paper bags I placed beside the door.“Yeah!” I chuckled, opening one eye. “Where’s my daughter? I forgot to call dad to check on him.”“Katie’s sleeping, and don’t worry about Uncle Dean. Leslie tugged him here to have dinner with us but went home around eight to watch a ballgame. He’s bored, but he’s okay,” Addie assured me.I nodded, closing my eyes again, and if no one dared to talk

(Aya’s POV)“Think, Sherrilyn,” I chuckled nervously. “The restroom is small for me to trip. And wait! Are you threatening me?”I thought of different ways to run toward the door, but Sherrilyn’s plan of possibly pushing me would be more realistic than the one in the restroom. I took a deep breath to calm myself and hoped Red would come on time. If I weren’t pregnant, I would care less about what she planned to do, but my sole concern now is my child.“Mom, will you please stop!” Scarlett grabbed her mother’s arm, stopping her.“Stop?” Sherrilyn hissed at her daughter. “As long as she’s here, she’s going to be the end of you.”“What do you plan to do with her, huh?” She asked annoyingly. “We’ll only make Red furious. Mom, all my life, I did what you wanted. Will you listen to me once? Let Aya go.”“What’s happening with you?” Sherrilyn brushed off her hand and gave her daughter a dagger look. “Have you gone mad?”“No!” Scarlett stood before her, blocking Sherrilyn from coming to me. “
Paint My World Red Chapter 173 – Trip and Fall
(Aya’s POV)“Did you bring everything you needed?” Addie chuckled, asking me jokingly the same question she had the first time I got here in the villa in Rose Hills.I laughed as I get off the car, hating that I had to feel like my bladder was about to explode if I didn’t find a toilet right this minute. I had no intention of getting inside the villa, but Dante stopped the car in the driveway. I already had the chills, my tiny hair standing up, and my baby seemed to feel my need as it moved and kicked. I almost rolled my hair, seeing Scarlett standing in the doorway, waiting for her family.“I’m not sure I need them now, Addie,” I growled on the phone, thinking quickly about where the nearest restroom would be. “What I want now is to pee, and if I don’t, I’ll leak in Gino’s car… or worse, here in the porch!”“Then leak there first. I’m sure Scarlett won’t mind,” she advised. “Got to go, cous. We have a guest. Take care, okay?” she said, ending the call.“Why don’t you use the one nea
Paint My World Red Chapter 172 – The Gift To The Carlington
(Aya’s POV)“Will I get a discount if I give referrals?” Miles smiled as he picked up his cup of coffee. His eyes wandered around the common room.“Even if you don’t give referrals, Miles. I’ll still give you a discount... or maybe have your accommodation for free,” I promised him.Miles chuckled. “I’ll call you when I have the time to hike,” he sipped his coffee and then put his cup back on the center table. “But before my hiking plans, I should close this case first.”He must be working overtime; his wide-set eyes looked tired but still focused on our discussion. I wondered if he had ever slept or had time to eat. When Red called Mike and asked them to come, they arrived in less than three hours at the lodge.It was almost midnight.“You should go home, Red,” Miles said, surprising us with his advice. “Bring the kids back to the villa and pretend for a while, at least for the kids, that everything’s normal between you and Scarlett.”“I think it’s too late for that,” I cut in and smi
Paint My World Red Chapter 171 – She's Terrifying
(Red’s POV)“Did we do something wrong?” Blue blinked his adorable eyes at me. “I’m okay having a baby sister, I swear!” He said, raising his right hand. “It’s okay we lost the bet.”We were in the main bedroom, looking like having a story-telling class, when I asked them to sit on the bed while Aya and I sat, almost leaning on the bed’s headboard, facing the children.“No,” Violet answered without breaking her gaze at me. “Mom and Dad are going to talk to us about Emmet and Rosie... and mom... the Scarlett mom,” she muttered, emphasizing her mother’s name.Katie pursed her lips as she played with her slime toy. “Why is your mom also Rosie’s mom?” she asked, leaning forward to look at Violet and her round eyes blinking curiously at her sister.She leaned back when my eldest daughter pursed her lips. Katie’s eyebrows knitted as she thought, then she shrugged her shoulders and continued playing with her toy.Violet sighed. “I hope I know the answer to that question, Katie,” she muttered
Paint My World Red Chapter 170 – What Was The Point
(Red’s POV)“You... know that I am Scarlett’s...” I gritted my teeth, clenching my fists but trying to control myself from hitting Emmet’s face.Emmet met my eyes and slowly shook his head. He closed his eyes and breathed deeply. When he opened his eyes, he looked at his sister.“Emily, why don’t you take Rosie home?” He begged and smiled sadly at his daughter.“I don’t want to go home yet,” Rosie pouted her lips, her eyes pleading with him to let her stay.“You should listen to your daddy. Go home, Rosie,” Blue said as he got off his chair. “I’ll play outside. Triplets, do you like to play with me?”This was the first time I saw my children push away another child. Ariana always said that my kids could be awarded for amiableness and friendliness, which she sometimes disliked because it sometimes ended up trouble for her wallet when my kids also wanted to treat others with ice cream or any treats. My twins, even Katie, the sweetest of our daughters, said nothing about Rosie. She got

(Aya’s POV) “Can we name our baby sister now,” Green muttered excitedly as he ate his cake. Red turned his head to me, raising his eyebrows and asking me in silence if it was okay. I nodded, also excited about their suggestions. “Oh…kay…” He nodded slowly to them. “We’re open to suggestions,” he said, emphasizing the last word and glancing at the open main door when a familiar girl peered from the outside. “Can we do that later? We have guests.” Emily showed up at the door, smiling apologetically at us and glancing at the little girl she was with. For Rosie’s sake, I begged Red not to file a case against Emmet because on the day he ran toward me, he was not attacking; he was also trying to catch me. Violet smiled at Rosie, walking toward her and extending her hand to the child. “Hi, Rosie. Do you like cupcakes?” She nodded, her eyes wide as she looked interestingly at the balloons. She grabbed Violet’s hand and followed her toward the table. Red and I walked toward Emily, who st
