SCARLET (EVE SANCHEZ POV)"I said I do not want to go, or do you not understand simple English" I yelled out in frustration and Rain jerked back in surprise at my outburst. I'd always been agreeable but I was done with allowing her to rope me into things that I didn't want to do."But you promised you were going to attend just this once... Why are you acting like I just sprung this up on you out of nowhere"I held her gaze pointedly. "There is such a thing as changing one's mind you know, so can you quit following me around and repeating the same thing over and over? I will not be going and that is the end of that"Rain sighed, her shoulder dropping dramatically, and I glared back down at my laptop, furiously punching at the keyboard. "Pierce will be so disappointed. Look, Scarlet, even if you don't like him anymore, you still need to try to be friends with him and attend whatever company functions he throws, that way you both can still do business together in the future... you never

SCARLET (EVE SANCHEZ) POVI ended up attending the event and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... but I guess I felt more at ease because Elde and I were on better terms and she'd listened to me as I recounted everything I'd been through to her. She'd even let me cry on her shoulders. She'd comforted me, patting my hair and whispering words that soothed away the ache in my chest. We were closer now, and even though she still insisted that I bear the name Scarlet, I didn't hate her for it. As she said, Eve was already dead... I was Scarlet now and I was going to live as if I were her until the day I got my revenge.The heavy feeling that always seemed to weigh on my chest like a huge block of ice lessened a bit and I took in a deep breath and let my stiff shoulders relax. I slowly took in the people around me as they socialized, and then my eyes met those of Elde. She waved, then walked up to me with a smile, her face radiant as she grabbed my hand. "Are you enjoying the part

SCARLET (EVE SANCHEZ)POV"I can assure you Mr Black that you won't regret working with us... As you already know, we are the best in this field, and despite having so many other franchises, we are still at the top of the charts, once you give your approval for this project, we will not only own the chart but the returns will be used for the betterment of the country" I explained with a smile on my face. Mr Black smiled. "A lot of people want that land that you are after Scarlet Antonio Rivera... And you are so young... ""Yes, I am young" I cut him off. "But I have already been introduced to the board as the sole heir of the company and I have acquired knowledge that would help me manage everything efficiently...""You only have three years experience... Elde should have come to me herself if this was really important to her"."It is important to her and that is why I am here... You have gone through each record of every project I have undertaken and they have all been a huge success

SCARLET (EVE SANCHEZ) POV "Tell me we are at least making some sort of progress" I groaned, dragging my hand through my hair before meeting Antonov's gaze. "We got ten percent of their share..." He started but I was already mad. The books on my desk crashed to the floor before I realized that I'd moved at all, but I was just so angry... I wanted to smash everything to hell. Antonov took a step toward me but he stopped once he saw the warning look in my eyes.I turned to glare at the items on the floor. "What the hell have you been doing Antonov? Why do I only have ten percent shares when you assured me that you had everything under control" I heard his deep exasperated sigh and it only managed to get me more worked up, but I restrained myself. "You need to calm down Scarlet" he got out in a patronizing voice and my gaze whipped to his, his words rubbing me in all the wrong ways."I need to calm down" I muttered unbelievably. "I have been calm Antonov because you told me you were g

MARGO POVTWO YEARS LATER.When did everything start to go to shit? I turned to face Miguel who was busy pulling on his suit with a nonchalant attitude that did nothing but irritate me to no end. It was like he didn't care at all. I was sure if someone was holding a knife to my throat, he'd just sit back and watch until they slit it open. We had been so happy, so why was this happening to us? His gaze met mine in the mirror and he sighed, as he dragged his hand through his hair before turning to face me. "Do you really have to do this every blessed morning?" he asked accusingly and I arched a brow."What are you talking about... I haven't even said anything yet""Do you have to when your eyes are already screaming your displeasure huh" he gritted out, then exhaled. "Fine. Spit it out, What is it you have to bitch about again... You'll think with all the shit we have been experiencing you'll have more things to worry about than to nag me every chance you get"His words made the ugly f

SCARLET POVThe sun rays hit my glasses and I blinked, the skyscraper in front of me becoming blurry. Antonov cleared his throat beside me."Well, here we are Scarlet. This place looked better than in the photos"I took in the company that my father had built with his blood sweat and tears. "We used to have a picnic at the rooftop once a week, then mom died and things spiraled from there" I got out past the lump in my throat, nostalgia washing over me in waves."Well, you got what you wanted. It's time to take back what is yours"I took my glasses off, then turned to face Antonov, a smirk on my face. "I am going to have so much fun Antonov. Margo, Miguel, and Raphael do not know what is going to hit them""I still think what you did with Raphael's order is unethical and he is going to find out that it was you"I grinned. "That is the whole plan, Antonov. Let him find out and wonder without rest why I was coming after him... I want him to have sleepless nights just thinking about how h

SCARLET POV Margo was pissed but there was nothing she could do about it and at the end she'd had to comply with all my requests. I had made it clear to her that if she wanted to save the company then she had to suck up to me... But everything was all a sham because, in the end, she was going to lose everything, and it would happen without her even knowing it. It should have been easy too but I hated that I was still affected by her. There was still fear because I knew who Margo was and she was a killer. It had been a shock to learn that I wasn't the only one she'd taken out to keep the company for herself... There had been others and they were not so fortunate as I had been. I had also thought the boardroom had just been suffocating but now that I was outside with Antonov and taking in fresh air, I became aware of just how hectic the whole ordeal had been. I felt bereft and the cravings for the pills in my purse grew in my chest but I couldn't. I couldn't show any weaknesses.Anto

SCARLET POVI screamed, then bolted because I wasn't going to take any chances. He'd broken into my home, which meant that he was not here to talk but to hurt me.Antonov had been right. I shouldn't have messed with his orders... I had thought it would keep him busy... I should have known that he was unpredictable and dangerous. I shouldn't have underestimated him, not after what he and Miguel had done to me. I should have known that he was a sick bastard and that he hadn't changed, and probably never would. I barely made it past him before strong hands were wrapping around my waist and I was being hoisted off the ground.I cried out, struggling and punching him, but it only felt as if I was beating against a rock, and when he finally threw me down on my bed and loomed over me, I was the only one breathing hard, while he didn't look affected at all."What the hell do you think you are going" I gasped, glaring at him, my head still reeling from the fact that he'd broken into my house.

Always" I said and the officiator cleared his throat and both of our gazes snapped to his.Gods, I'd almost been close to kissing him since it had been as if we were the only two people in the room.I chuckled as he did, then turned to face the officiator.The wedding c

RAPHAEL BATISTA POV"I want her found. I don't care how you do it but you need to do it before she hurts anyone" I said clenching the content that I had gotten out of the brown envelope just a few weeks ago. It had been meant for Scarlet. Thank God I had gone to meet Bianca myself that day. Scarlet was just starting to get better and not be dependent on her pills but I was sure if she found out about this, it would be down that rabbit hole once more. She would worry and live in a state of constant fear and I could not allow her to go through such suffering again, not after everything she'd been through. But the strain was starting to get to me. Margo was still at large despite all efforts to find her and with our wedding plans already underway I couldn't help but be worried. Where was Margo right now and what was she scheming?"We have eyes everywhere, but we haven't seen anyone remotely resembling Margo, we'll intensify our effort, so be rest assured. She won't be able to get past

SCARLET POV"You've been smiling a lot these days, but you still haven't introduced Raphael to me, why? Do you think he's so good-looking, I'll try to keep him for myself the first chance I get," Elde said and I gaped at her."Mom! Oh my goodness, I can't believe you just said that"She chuckled, stood up from where she was sitting, and came to stand in front of me. "I admit I was a bit skeptical about Raphael at first" she got out. "I still am, but since he's succeeded in making you so happy, I want you to bring him home... You just set a date and I'll fix the wedding... How about that"I grinned, then hugged her. "I must have given you a lot of tough times for you to be planning to marry me off so quickly, huh"She patted my back. "Oh you did, you almost turned me into a murderer at a point too, you little brat" she laughed, then let go of me and helped me tuck my hair behind my ears."I am just so glad that you are finally ok, Scarlet. I want you to be happy like this for a very lo

RAPHAEL BATISTA POVScarlet let out a harsh sob and then pressed her forehead against my chest, so I kissed her on the back of the neck in an effort to soothe her. “Talk to me, baby, tell me what you need me to do” I urged. Scarlet relaxed as if the endearment was a balm to her soul, then she went quiet for several beats before she met my gaze. “I ache,” she said softly. “I burn and I can’t… I can’t make it go away on my own. I've tried...” she trailed off, the color on her cheeks darkening. It took me a few painfully long seconds to understand what she was trying to tell me. She couldn’t make herself come. “Oh God, Scarlet, I’m so sorry,” I said as I lifted her head up and pressed kisses along her temple, then her cheeks, and finally her mouth. “I’ll take care of you,” I said as I began ramping the kisses back up.“Raphael” she called, her voice hitching. "I... I..." “What?” I urged gently when I saw a bit of fear still lurking in her eyes. “I don’t think I can… go all the way

RAPHAEL BATISTA POV"Is she going to be alright?" I asked the doctor as I stared down at Scarlet. She was asleep and her breathing was even but that didn't stop me from worrying."She will be fine. She has been under a lot of stress which was why she collapsed... But please try to monitor her drug prescription. I am afraid she is taking them more than is necessary and if she continues to do that, it would not bode well for her in the long run" the doctor warned, his voice severe and I nodded."I'll do that doctor, I'll make sure she takes only what is prescribed"He nodded and then picked up his bag. "Just let her rest and I'll be here to check on her progress tomorrow morning," he said, gave a curt nod, and walked out of the room.I sat beside Scarlet and just stared at her, pain and elation warring in my heart. I'd always felt that she was Eve but to have it confirmed that I was indeed right, shook me to my core.I took her hand in mine, then placed it on my cheek, my heart breaking

SCARLET POVI liked the weight that was pressing me down into the warm mattress. It was hot and just the right amount of heavy. I groaned, moving closer to it. Was my pillow always this warm, or did Mother get me a new pet? I asked myself as my hand reached to clutch at whatever it was but my hand didn’t come in contact with short fur or a pillow.No, what was beneath my fingers was short but it was also super soft, silky even. And just a few inches down there wasn’t any hair, just hot skin.Raphael has hot skin. I jumped off the bed, my eyes flying open as I struggled to make sense of what the hell was going on.Raphael maintained eye contact as he slowly got up from the bed too, his gaze trained on mine as if I were some wild animal and just a look away from me would send me running off.He looked as if he'd been awake for a while so why was he just lying by my side?I couldn't remember what had happened the night before. I just remembered having a drink and Pierce forcing a kiss on
REBORN FOR REVENGE Fifty nine
MARGO POV.Everything hurt, especially my face. It burned so hot that I wished I hadn't woken up at all.I've been drifting in and out of consciousness after the van I'd been in exploded... I didn't even understand how I'd been able to survive, but I guess it was because the force of the explosion had pushed me out of the van as it crashed to the ground.Miguel hadn't made it... I knew it because his face had been the last thing I'd seen before I was flying through the hot air.We'd been in the van and he hadn't even spoken a word to me. He'd stared at me as if I was the vilest person he'd ever met as if I had ruined his life as if I was the one to blame for everything and not Eve.Her name made me groan and all of a sudden, someone was hovering over me, and then a wet cloth touched my head.I tried to open my eyes and only managed to get my left eye slightly open while the other felt as if it was permanently shut.The eye I was seeing with was still blurry though and I had to blink t
REBORN FOR REVENGE Fifty eight
SCARLET POVI couldn't hear the words that Santos was saying not when Raphael was just a few feet away from me, talking to some men and smiling when they said something funny. When last had I seen a smile like that? It wasn't fair. It wasn't fair that just a touch of his hand had had my walls and resolve crumbling like ashes. It had been so hard to wrench my hand away from him when all I'd wanted to do was to lean in and press my lips against his. He'd stared at me with such fierce passion or was it my wishful thinking... Was I just projecting what I felt onto him?I flinched when I saw Kristine walk toward him, wrapped her arm around his waist, and animatedly joined in on their conversation. I couldn't help but clench the document in my hand harder while murderous thoughts ran through my head. Raphael was mine... He fucking said he was going to protect me. "Miss Scarlet" Santos called and I flinched, then forced myself to focus on him when it turned out that he'd been trying to ge
REBORN FOR REVENGE Fifty seven
RAPHAEL BATISTAScarlet Antonio Rivera was standing in the elevator and her eyes were wide open in surprise as she saw me. She was clutching at her hair and sweat dripped down her hairline as if she'd been struggling with something in the enclosed space. I stared at her, totally speechless as I took in the most beautiful pair of green eyes I'd ever seen and when I looked closer, it felt as if I'd always stared into those eyes for as long as I could remember. Scarlet lowered her gaze and dropped her hand from her hair, but I noticed the strands that were clutched in her deathlike grip and it had me wondering why she'd been tugging so hard at her hair. I stepped into the elevator with her and once the door closed, sealing the both of us in, I had to resist the urge to grab and tilt her chin so that she could look at me just as she'd done before. I couldn't believe she was here since no matter how many appointments I had with her assistant, I had never met her in person.I turned to
