EARLIER.RAPHAEL BATISTA POV. SHOOTING RANGE. The semi-automatic pistol I held should have taken my mind off of Scarlet, but even as I loaded the magazine into the magazine well, pulled back the slide, and took aim at the target in front of me, she was all that consumed my thoughts, so I wasn't surprised when I missed the target completely. Her breathy plea where on repeat In my head, and damn it I'd wanted to do more than touch her, but I couldn't, not when I prayed with every fiber of my being that she was Eve, not when I saw Eve every time I looked at her... It wouldn't be fair if she was Scarlet. It wouldn't be fair to her at all... Fuck. It was all so confusing in my head.I fired more rounds in succession, her face flashing in my head even as the loud sound of deafening gunshots rang through the air. I growled in frustration and grumbled to myself as I lowered the pistol. "I've never seen you miss before" a voice broke through the ringing in my ears and I groan

SCARLET POV "We were just touring the province and got a little lost, so we parked and walked up to the house to ask for directions.... No one answered the door when we rang it".The man nodded, noting down what I was saying. My guard stood behind me like a statue while the phone in my hand where the last message I'd received from Pierce burned into my skin.It won't be long now, Scarlet. I am coming to get you.Pushing the message from my mind, I focused my attention on the man I was talking to and tried to remember where I stopped. "We were going to leave of course, but you see I have a very sensitive nose so I knew something wasn't quite right with the smell in the air, So I asked my guard to kick down the door... We went inside to investigate and that was when we found the body. We didn't touch anything once we found it, and then I called the cops immediately"The man made a show of nodding along to my words and once he noticed that I was done with my recount, he slammed the boo

SCARLET POVEverything felt wrong. The bed I was lying on, the scent all around me, and the splitting pain in my head. I also couldn't open my eyes no matter how hard I tried and my memory was all fuzzy.Where the hell am I? Was this some sort of abyss that people went to at the point of death? Everything hurt so much and I couldn't move any part of my body. There were also voices ringing in my head and the sound of cars crashing, and burning fumes was like a loop playing over and over again.I wanted it to end, whatever the horrible feeling was. Anything else would be better."Is she dead?" Someone asked. The voice sounded familiar... Way too familiar but there was just no way it was her. "She's just unconscious at the moment. The bastard I sent to cause the accident almost killed her... Those fucking sleazeballs. It's like they can never do anything right..." He cursed, his voice so loud it made me wince but they didn't notice since they continued with their conversation, and the

"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
