MARGO POVRaphael had almost killed Miguel. It had been a wake-up call and maybe now Miguel would finally see that I was the only one who could truly protect him.Scarlet, that bitch, she had just stood there with a crazed look in her eyes as if she waiting for Raphael to deliver the final blow that would take him out... The desire to see more blood had been clear as day on her face and I had thought I was the crazy one.There was something about her and the way she'd targeted me and Miguel... Was she playing a game... Was this some sort of power trip she went on when she got bored? No matter how I looked at it, I just didn't get why she'd come after my family.It didn't matter now. She'd started this game and I was going to finish it... She thought she was all that and that I'd lost everything, but when she was no longer breathing then we'd know who the winner truly was, because I was going to kill her, after torturing her that is. I grinned at the thought and the vivid imagination
SCARLET POV."What's wrong, Margo... You don't look too good" I asked as she looked around, a spooked-out look on her face that only intensified the more she took in the environment.Slowly getting to her feet, she adjusted her dress and turned her expression to neutral but I could tell by her trembling hands that she had been pretty rattled. Good for her, maybe I should have upped the dosage. Well, It had all been a probability because she could have taken the drink but not drank it, or refused to take the drink at all. But she hadn't confessed to murdering Eve. Even in her drugged state, she refused to acknowledge what she had done... Was it because murdering someone didn't count as a crime in her books or she truly believed that she had not pushed me off the hill? "What do you want now? Haven't you done enough damage... You are really something else, Scarlet, you have the nerve to show your face to me despite cutting me off from the company without a heads-up" She got out in a ca
RAPHAEL BATISTA POVShe was staring at me, her eyes blown so wide I could see the swirls of green morphing together to form a symphony of spell-binding patterns. They had always been beautiful and calming, so why did I feel so much rage even as I gazed at her? I clenched my fist, her words replaying over and over in my head... "I really do want you but if I am going to have you, I want you all to myself. I do not share"And that was after she'd leaned in to kiss him. She'd pressed her lips underneath his ear, she'd smiled at him, and she'd promised to protect him... Just the thought had my vision going hazy with rage. I wanted to rip my skin off my bones If only It Would get rid of how raw I felt..."What the hell did you just call me" she asked, drawing my attention to her lips, the ones that she had used to touch Miguel. God damn it, her lips were mine... I should have just killed the bastard. I could still taste the feeling of euphoria as I punched him over and over again... He
Delia stepped into Miguel's room and then held her breath when the sound of the door made him stir a bit in his sleep. Once she saw that he hadn't awoken, she sat down beside him, then slowly ran her hand through the top of his hair which had grown a bit longer from the last time she'd seen him."Maybe now that you're going to lose everything, you'll finally choose to be with me." She said, staring at his sleeping form tenderly. "We were so happy together before Margo came into our lives weren't we..." She mumbled then pulled her hand away from him as if she'd been stung.A shiver racked through her frame so she wrapped her arms around herself, her eyes never losing their focus- Miguel. "I know you told me to stay and wait for you, but I don't think I can do that anymore Miguel. I refuse to keep quiet and watch you suffer like this because of that woman, so I have decided... I am going to kill Margo. This past few days have been dreadful Miguel, I could barely close my eyes at night
SCARLET POVI shouldn't have called him a rapist when I had a lot of reason to believe that Raphael was not guilty of raping me in the past, especially after I had listened to Bianca's recollection of what she had witnessed that night. I could also remember that, that morning he had been just as surprised to see me when he'd gotten up...They said drunk people always spoke the truth, and he'd literally blamed himself for failing to protect me... So I was going to forgive him and cut him out of my revenge plan, but he needed to stop hovering over me and messing with my head... If he continued to dig, he was going to find out kinds of stuff about me... Maybe he already has judging from everything he'd dumped on me the day before.If I didn't put a stop to his obsession, he was going to ruin all of the plans that were already in motion. He already knew so much as it was.He was going to get in the way... It was already bad that every time he came near me my brain refused to do whatever I
SCARLET POV The drive to the hospital took forever because I kept getting distracted. I just didn't understand Raphael. What did he want to hear from me? That he was right and I was indeed Eve.Did I want to reveal such a thing though, especially when I wasn't done with making both Margo and Miguel pay for what they did to me... And whoever the other woman was.Shaking my head to dispel all the migraine-inducing thoughts, I came out of the car and walked toward the entrance to the hospital.The feel of my phone buzzing in my bag made me stop. Stepping to the side so I wasn't standing at the entrance, I took out the phone and read the text."I must say, blood red is really your color. I'll have you wear the prettiest things when you are mine" I mumbled the words, then glanced up and looked everywhere, my hands clenching my phone tightly.Where the hell was Pierce and how was he evading all the guards that I kept around to watch over me?I stared down at my phone then deleted the messa
MARGO POVI was driving blind and it was fucking hard to breathe. I kept hearing the voice of Miguel as I drove over and over again until I veered off the road.But even as I drove through the bumpy ground, it didn't stop his words from ringing in my ear.They were like poison invading my blood and no matter what I did, it just kept spreading. "There has never been an us, Margo... I never fucking loved you. You and I both know why we got together in the first place, it was because you went fucking crazy and pushed Eve to her death, then you roped me into your stupid plan by threatening me, then you framed Raphael.. everyone who tried to sabotage us died at your hand.. did you think I would be able to love someone like you"My car screeched to a halt and I forced myself to breathe through my nose, dragging in just enough to stop me from choking to death.Then I was screaming and banging on the steering wheel until blood dripped down my knuckles and I fell back against my seat in exhaus
MARGO POVMy house was teaming with cops when I arrived and without them noticing me, I put the car back in reverse and started making my way to the hospital. My flight was in an hour so I knew I could get some things done and it was already dark. If I hadn't driven aimlessly for hours I might have beat the cops but I'd just been so angry, I needed to let off some steam. Well jokes on me. The only color I saw was red and it got darker the longer I drove but I made sure to reign my anger in. If I got pulled over, then I would definitely be facing charges, but it definitely won't be for murder.I couldn't believe that Miguel ratted me out, that bastard, well jokes on him because the only evidence they would be finding was all going to point in his direction, but it was too bad I wasn't feeling too merciful. He didn't deserve jail. He deserved to die.Once I reached the hospital, I parked, took my bag, and made sure all I needed was in it, and then walked into the hospital.One of the n
