Scarlett's POV: After hearing many complaints from my mom, we finally made it to Sonia's place. Everything had been arranged already, just a small coordinated party. Less than ten people were present, no more than that. Making it out of the car, I rode my mom into the house rolling my eyes at her several complaints." Ready Mom?"I said wanting to lose the blindfold around her eyes.The guests around us tried as much as they could to stay quiet, finding it hard to hold back their laughter at my mom's reaction. Sonia silently hushed them."... seriously, I don't like this,"I sighed with a shake of my head" Ready..."And I grabbed hold of the blindfold, gently pulling it away from her eyes and simultaneously everyone shouted in ecstasy." Surprise!"This of course rendered my mom speechless. The obvious shock in her eyes told more than her mouth ever would. She couldn't believe it, I knew that. I had always wanted to be the one to do the unbelievable whenever it came to her, something
Scarlett's POV:A mistake! It could be a mistake or it could be one of his hot storming jokes. If we were to share a night together then I wouldn't hesitate to climb on top of him and enjoy the pleasurable moment that would transpire between us. The thought alone gave me goosebumps and not to even think my fantasies would actually turn into reality.Biting on my lower lip, my cheeks sting from all the blushed I got as I couldn't help but re-read the messages over and over again.I didn't even know what to say and I didn't want to look too desperate for him. I didn't want to get his hopes so high so he could eventually break me again. I didn't want to let myself be one of his toys, he had a lot of girlfriends so he wouldn't even choose me even if he had the chance to.Me: I can return back your money in the meantime Sir.What was wrong with me? I didn't know! Could I actually get the money and payback within a short term? No!. With a sigh, I cleared the message, nervously playing with
Scarlett's POV: His lips on mine became more intense like he had already been longing for it. He hungrily kissed my lips, biting me on my lower lip as he forced my body into his that there was hardly a gap for any air to pass through within us.He soon pulled away, cupping my face into his large palms and shooting me with those deadly glares of his." Take of your clothes Letty,"My eyes once again swell with tears. Why couldn't I stop him from controlling me? Why couldn't I say no to him? Why was I so afraid?" I don't want to do this,"My voice suddenly lost confident just like I was also losing confident." You don't want to?"He smirked, stepping away from me, standing a few distance from me. I let out a deep breath that I didn't know I was holding and I couldn't be more thankful that he let me go...just like that." Then watch me undress myself,"Wait what! I...I thought he was letting me go. And watch him? No way...I couldn't take my eyes off him as he slowly undid his belt and
Scarlett's POV: " I have something for you, Letty," I blinked repeatedly and confusedly as he finally inclined from me, heading to his desk while being cautious of his steps. He picked up a white envelope and returned back to me and stretched it for me to collect it. " Have it,"I narrowed my eyes a bit, eager to know what was in there and why he would give it to me, although, I knew for certain that whatever all these were, it wasn't going to fall into the expectations of mine. Nevertheless, I collected the envelope, hesitant to open it to visualize the content it contains." I hope you like it," Sure, there was a clear sarcastic tone when he spoke and that simply confirmed my thoughts, this wasn't going to be good.Swallowed in curiosity, I let loose the envelope and brought out the coloured paper I found inside, my eyes skimming through the write ups, one which I didn't let my brain fathom. I glanced up at the boss." What's this for?"His burning gaze told me otherwise, ‘shut t
Writer's POV:" Put her down here, good."Diego commended, pathetically staring at the woman who was being laid down in the truck. Her body seems almost lifeless but none of them seem to care. " I'll stay back at Baridona, take her to Master and await his next order, hit me up when you have any info,"" Sure thing,"Cassandra professed coming over to him." Take this...Give it to my sister, Maya. Don't open it till it gets to her, she'll understand what it contains,"Diego collected the small wrapped box from her, his eyes filled with curiosity but he rather remained fixed. " I will,"Placing a peck at his cheek. Cassandra hopped into the truck and soon it drove off. Staring at the truck that disappeared further, Diego got into his car, taking up his phone that had just beeped with a message, this however was a distraction that made him forget about the box, he took his phone and unlocked the message, there a picture displayed, something which at first took him aback but then his f
Scarlett:I could feel the breeze, the dancing trees, the footsteps, the man and everything all began to slowly fade from my sight and be replaced with pouring liquid from above. I didn't think it was the rain nor do I know what the liquid was, but then I could feel my stomach gushing out with a thick substance which I knew was my blood. I groaned in pain, the pain I felt was actually real. I didn’t think this was some dream...this was real, the man in the cloak, the woman and the stab on my stomach, they're all real.I struggled to get my eyes open, I succeeded, taking in the familiar view of our house ceiling, the pain in my stomach hit me in multiples that I could hear myself wailing aloud. I weakly struggled to get on my feet, my imbalanced steps and doozy eyes were beginning to get the best of me, I clutched my bleeding stomach, my blood oozing uncontrollably that it already stained my shirt and my hand, even rolling down to my legs. I struggled to breath, my mind ignorant of
I never thought I'd find myself in this awkward situation. I sat on the couch, several shades of eyes glancing at me while I tried to hide my pain from reflecting.The man who had helped me earlier entered the room with a mug, internally, I was thankful he had come to distract the pairs of eyes that won't stop obliging their gaze at me. " Take this. It should ease the pain a bit,"I didn't hesitate, I collected the mug and immediately gulped down the weird sour taste of the black juice. " Thank you,"I appreciated them while handing the cup back to him. Now, I feel a lot better all thanks to this guardian angel who was sent to save me.Initially, after the narrow escape from the attack of Mr Strange, my guardian angel had brought me here to his place and somehow while I was still unconscious, he had helped me treat my wound. I honestly couldn't be more thankful." Would you like to eat something or would you prefer sleeping instead?"A man who I guessed was the father of the one wh
" You're an elf, Scarlett."It wouldn't stop echoing in my head, the more the voice echoed, the more pain I felt. It seemed impossible! Everything seemed overwhelming. Who would have thought that I, Scarlett Brooks would one day turn out to be like those fictional characters from their fantasy world in the books I read. An elf? I am...an elf?With a sickening breath, I gasped and forced my eyes open. Despite the temperature of the room, I felt hot within myself, my body covered with my heat that it looked like I had been bathed. I was laying on the bed, I looked around, Hermie wasn't there anymore and in the cause of gazing through the room, my eyes landed on the sparkling long mirror that relaxed against the wall, calling me to come over to it. But what if all that I heard and saw were just a dream? None of them could be real, for all I knew, it could be one of those spooky nightmares I get. However, there was only one way to confirm my thoughts. I climbed out of the bed, once my

I watched them carry her body away. Shock still overwhelmed me...my mother was dead? Max was wounded too. Where was Cage when they needed him...he fucking promised that he would look after them...he promised me.My teary eyes roved over to him, he was on one kneel, his eyes exhibiting sadness and regrets. " You promised me,"Cage shook his head vigorously, trying to explain what happened; " Scarlett... please..."" You're a traitor. How could you break your promise, how could you let my mom die? You fucking bastard! I hate you so much,"I yelled, slapping him multiple times across his face. I saw Hermie came over to me, her anguish face and eyes glaring down at Cage." He doesn't deserve you, you've suffered too much just by staying with him. He doesn't deserve an angel like you, can't you see how he's hurting you? Can't you see that he's your rival? You need to fucking reject him as your mate before the worse happens,"Hermie's words dug into my heart. She was only making it worse fo
Scarlett's POV: " Sausages?" I took the wrapped sausages and kept it inside the brown leather bag." You guys sure need water also,"Jessy handed me two bottles of water and I didn't hesitate to keep them inside the bag. Today was the day Talon and I were going to Validon. He had told me that to get there was going to be a long journey, five days to be precise. So I thought packing a few things would help. I thanked Jessy before heading out. Thankful that I didn't have to bump into Miriam. Talon was already waiting outside along with Gray whose face depicted worries but it seemed to disappear the instant he saw me. " Here, let me help," Talon, as the gentleman he was, collected the bag and hung it over his shoulders." Scarlett, don't you think it's a good idea to cover up a little? The weather there is a quite harsh and also we'd be bumping into a lot of perverts,"Talon told me. I looked down at my dress, I wore a top that I tucked into my high waist skirt which stopped just at
Micage's POV: Damn her! She loved him? She loved Jones and not me? I scoffed, how pathetic. I know I tried a lot not to let the pain reflect but my efforts weren't working because I could feel the way my heart squeezed brokenly, I was so heartbroken. How can she choose him over me? How the fuck did he even get here? I owned the place yet no fucking person except Miriam had told me about Jones. Shit and that was when I lost it. The way Miriam had described to me what she saw them doing, I nearly thought they were going to have sex. But now I do know that I no longer matter. Scarlett had undergone a lot of changes that I cannot deny and so did I. This love of a thing was really making me too weak...very weak and I fucking didn't like it.Why does it seem like she was the stronger one and I'm the weaker one that craves for her love all the time. Is it because I'm suffering from the lack of our intimacy?Of course, that was how things worked. The female mate never got to feel the pain f
Scarlett's POV:" I didn't know because I found it quite difficult these past days to connect with her. I've also noticed some changes in me whenever I try to mind travel. It's as if I am slowly beginning to lose my powers. I thought they were normal changes...but now I don't think it is anymore and sure I could have felt her pain when she lost the baby,"Talon uttered, face palming his face in terror. He shook slightly." What do you plan to do now, Talon?"Talon said nothing for a moment but after a brief silence, he endured and silently whispered; " I'd just let it be. I'm not the only one this would happen to. It'd expected it to be difficult because she wasn't really carrying a human child, infact, the late baby could overpower her if he becomes too strong for her. Vampire babies are like rocks so...I don't know,"" Isn't there a solution or something? Perhaps you can get back to her and tell her the entire truth,"" Scarlett, I can't. Think of how her reaction would be, I may ev
Writer's POV:Diego pressed his lips into a thin line, giving Maya the most challenging look he could muster. " The two guys outside ended up dead, you kidnapped the other poor guy's sister...what a legend you are Diego,"Diego let out a throaty chuckle. " You can say that again. I am indeed a legend. So what now? You'd come with me to Dondania, will you?"For a moment, Maya wondered. How would she feel going to Dondania with Diego when she had a lot of ' finding Scarlett and murdering her soon enough' plan to work on?" I'm good,"Diego didn't protest. He could handle the remaining taka himself now. The very moment they had left the warehouse, Diego had left a note, telling his secret investigators to head to Dondania and begin their search. The secret investigators were the source he used for his findings and dirty works. Those investigators were the ones who had kidnapped Jessica on the command of Diego. Diego had his own power and authority, he had his little clan which was inf
Writer's POV: Diego returned back to them, Maya and Cassandra. His face turned into one of horror as the two awaited the bad news they expected." I can't find him," Diego spoke." Damn it! Where the fuck did he go?" Maya yelled, throwing a furious punch on the table in which a jar stood, in the cause of punching, the jar fell to the floor and shattered into pieces." Jones is weak, I'm sure he wouldn't have gone too far if he tried to escape,"Cassandra interfered, wearing the same angry look on her face.Just when they thought they would finalize their plan with the help of Jones, he had decided to disappear...they suspected that he had escaped and if truly he had done so then why did he do so? There was no right answer to that." Diego, you go after him. Search the whole damn city and see if you'll find him. I'll head back to Baridona now..."" Baridona! You can't, you'd die outside,"" Then what the fuck do you expect me to do?" Maya yelled, shooting her glare at Diego. " Didn't
Scarlett's POV: " You've killed him," Cage pulled out the knife. His gaze met mine and he gritted his teeth so hard that I heard it; " He was flirting with you,"He answered me with no shame...no regret. How worse could he even get?" You cheated on me Cage and it's not once, not twice but several times, what is wrong with you? Why do you always like to crush my heart like it's nothing..."I had no more words to say to him. I cleaned my teary eyes and went back to Jones, his chest bled profusely, he wasn't groaning anymore, he wasn't even breathing and at the back of my mind, I was thinking he was dead. I hadn't noticed that Miriam had left the room before because now she returned in with the least person I expected to see, Gray." Oh shit!" He dashed towards us, not sparing either Cage and I a glance. " I need something cold, Miriam, could you get me one?"Miriam left and returned immediately with an ice bag. Gray took it from her before pressing it against Jones' bleeding chest.
Scarlett's POV:" What is happening to her? Is she going to be alright?"Max's voice grew high pitched, his worrisome yet surprising eyes met with mine. Mark, Talon and Miriam were the ones attending to my mother. I suspected Miriam to be a vampire also because she and Mark were the ones doing most of the work. Talon came to me and pulled me into an embrace, calmly patting my hair.My Mom had gone unconscious because of me. She was always getting hurt because of me. If I had known this was going to happen then I wouldn't have said a thing. Now look what I've caused.I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something bad should happen to her. I cannot bear to see her hurt because of me... again." It's nothing serious. She's simply stressed, I bet she hasn't been getting enough of sleep but you don't need to worry, she'll be okay before you know it,"Miriam spoke. Mark nodded in agreement." Perhaps it's best if she sleeps for the meantime without anyone disturbing her. It'd help to imp
