"What the hell is this Antonov... Where the hell is my daughter? Why isn't she in the hospital? I have looked everywhere and they keep telling me that my child isn't here" Elde yelled, and Antonov stepped back, his gaze fixed on the floor. "You are keeping something from aren't you" she asked, her heart palpitating as she prepared herself for the worst. "We got the footage from the surveillance camera at the site of the accident" he got out and then paused, his hands forming into fists at his side. "It looks like she was taken away...""Taken... Taken away" she stuttered. "By who? Who took my child Antonov""They wore masks and because of the commotion of the accident they were able to slip away without anyone taking notice" Elde stared at him without moving or even blinking as she struggled to make sense of what he'd just told her, and when she read between the lines of what he was really trying to say, she stumbled back and Antonov reached to grab her but she slapped his hand away
RAPHAEL BATISTA POV"What was that woman going on about" I asked, especially since the name Scarlet kept ringing in my head as if it held a deeper meaning and I wondered if I truly knew her like the woman claimed I did. Kristine took my hand and held my gaze. "You really don't need to think about that woman at all Raphael, she's just hysterical because her daughter is missing, but you really had nothing to do with her at all... All you did was give her a ride, so what if you both got into an accident, she had no right to accuse you of being responsible especially since you were also a victim" she said and I nodded, not really having the mental capacity to think too much since my head hurt a lot.I could remember almost everything but some recent details that occurred were blurry in my head and something in my chest made me feel that all those details were of the utmost importance, but no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't remember."I am not your boyfriend though" I clarified, m
MIGUEL POVScarlet abandoned me. Margo tried to kill me, and now after everything I was going to be the one facing the law for Margo's criminal charges. My lower body was badly damaged but that didn't stop them from cuffing me to my bedside as if they thought I could escape from the hospital. They should not have bothered. After being in horrible pain for a whole week I was sure I would not be walking for a while without some sort of assistance and that was if I could walk at all. But I guess I should be grateful to still be alive. Margo had stabbed me multiple times but most of them had been on my thighs and others were on the bed I'd been on when she attacked... She'd really set out to kill me and then run away to escape the law after all her bitching about how she couldn't live without me, fucking liar! I wanted to scream but all I did was just sit quietly while Delia cleaned my wounds.At least she'd come back, even after the way she'd left the last time we'd met and her promis
MARGO POVI had to get out of here or I was going to lose my mind. It wasn't good for my mental health to be in such a confined space with someone that I wanted to kill every time I saw her.Scarlet Antonio Rivera had come into my life like a tsunami, and I was still being swept up in her death-hurtling pull. I was literally being kept as a prisoner pending when she got better to determine my fate, and with her intolerable suffering attitude, I knew she was going to destroy me once she regained her memory. If she didn't, then Pierce would, and then it would be all over for me and I still didn't know what I had done to her for her to hate me so much."But I did this all for him... Who do you think he's going to choose between the two of us... I have everything while you're a nobody... If I were to offer him all my wealth, do you really think he would choose to stay with you"She had said it was because of Miguel she'd ruined our lives, but I knew it was all a lie. There was something
SCARLET POVMargo hadn't taken the glass of juice just as I'd anticipated but still, I was sure with the way I'd tormented her and reminded her of how Miguel had abandoned her for another woman, the first thing she was going to do once she got to her room was take the pills the doctor had prescribed for her just some days back. And I was certain that would have worked and calmed her frayed nerve, but the thing was that I'd switched them out with some of my hallucinogenic drugs, so I wasn't surprised when after a while I heard her talking to herself in her room. I could feel the panic in her voice, and instead of abating the hatred I had for her in my heart, it just poisoned me further.Margo deserved what I was putting her through and more, but I couldn't help but feel shitty as she let out a bone-chilling scream.Two wrongs didn't make a right they said, but the pain in my heart was still so raw from what she had done to me in the past, and what she had tried to do before all these
SCARLET POV.Margo was coming at me with a knife, and the look in her eyes as they locked on mine was so manic that they had me freezing up even though I knew I should move and get out of the way. It was as if I was at that edge of the hill once again... I could see her clearly and this time as she shoved me to my death, she grinned wickedly, the mirth in her eyes glistening as she watched me plunge to my death."No" I gasped, reaching up to shield my face as the knife she held headed straight for my eyesSomeone suddenly shoved me and I crashed to the floor, my head almost smacking against the tiles but I raised my elbow to shield it instead and that took the burn off the fall. Pain radiated up my arms and I groaned, darkness creeping into my vision. I blinked hard and tried to breathe through my nose, and once the fog cleared, I became aware of what was going on around me.Margo and Pierce were both struggling with the knife she held and she was so hysteric, it was as if she wasn't
SCARLET POV.I hadn't meant to blurt it out, but I was so mad and tired of everything that I'd been yelling it out before I could take it back, and once it was out there was no way I could bring myself to call them back. Maybe this was what I should have done from the very beginning, maybe he would have given up on me if he knew that I wasn't the woman he loved so much. "What the hell are you... What do you mean you are not Scarlet" he asked after one tense minute of absolute silence."Exactly what it means" I got out on a tired breath, my head pounding In my ears. "I am sorry for everything Pierce. Maybe the real Scarlet would have loved you with her whole heart but I am not her and no matter what you do I can never bring myself to fall in love with you"Pierce got up from the bed and I moved back instinctively when he stepped toward me. He grabbed at his hair as if he was going crazy."What the hell are you talking about right now? Is this some sort of a joke? Are you trying to me
MARGO POV******I was at the edge of the cliff, staring at Eve but Instead of me holding onto her, it was in reverse, and when I looked down and saw just how daunting the way down looked, I turned to face her, my mouth opening to plead for my life, but it wasn't just Eve that was holding onto me, it was the faces of all the people I'd killed... And then I was plunging, falling fast, my scream fading in the air no matter how loud I yelled until I crashed to the floor beneath, my bone shattering into a million pieces.******I woke up with a start, my heart pounding against my ribcage as rivulets of sweat-drenched me from head to toe.I tried to sit up when something snapped against my wrist and before I could blink, I was being hoisted up from the bed."What the hell is going on" I yelled as the man who'd yanked me up started to pull me out of the room. "Where the hell are you taking me""A place for criminals like you," the man said and I stopped, my gaze whipping up to him.The man
