Scarlett's POV: I was nearly knocked down off the seat, my phone accidentally slipped from my grip and fell on the floor. The heavy breathing beside me got me worried as I turned to see the boss resting his head on the steering wheel, his eyes closed and the veins behind his skin infuriatingly became thick due to his hard grip on the wheel." Are you all right?" He deeply sighed before raising his head from the wheel." Yes,"He started the car and we continued the ride. Okay! Something was definitely wrong with him.I felt tempted to tell him about the message I received but considering the mood he was in I decided against it knowing pissing him off would be a bad idea.Not quite long and we arrived at the bar. Yes! It was a bar, my mom worked there as a bartender. The boss parked his car in front of the small sized building of the bar, two cars were also parked beside each other. From a distance, I sighted some people, an average aged man and some men in uniforms. I hurried down
Scarlett's POV:" I need to use the bathroom,"I felt a slight pain in my lower stomach as the boss pulled me through the stairs until we landed on the last staircase. His step, no! Our steps suddenly came to a halt the moment we locked eyes with another.I suddenly got drunk of jealousy, the urge to use the bathroom suddenly vanished. My eyes gently looked at the lady standing in front of us, obviously not Delilah but now I couldn't believe I was beginning to wish she was the one standing there.The way she stood, she looked timid and kind of nervous as she focused her glance on the floor but also stealing glances at us, the boss especially.Typically, she showed too much skin.Her blue silk gown stopped just above her thigh, one which exposed part of her breast, the tiny hand of the gown had fallen off from her shoulder which she seemed to be oblivious of.Another lady? perhaps his hundredth girlfriend.The lady looked up at me before shifting her gaze to the boss whom I heard him le
Scarlett's POV: I froze in my spot either in shock or excitement knowing my mom actually survived all those pain. I couldn't believe it. Max pulled away from me, his soft gaze meeting my confused ones, tears had found their way out of my eyes, one which Max wiped off with his hand." I understand, I...I felt the same way too," I gave him a nod still recovering from my frozen state, letting out a muffled laugh that got interrupted by my sobs that slipped out of my mouth." Where's she?" It was like I lost my voice with the way it sounded. Max simply nodded and took my hand into his before walking away with me following behind him.Surely, his heart was blissful as it should, which made mine blissful too.Getting to my mom's ward, I saw her sitting down on the bed, her hysterical eyes meeting with mine the moment I stepped in and instantly, my vision blurred with the uncontrollable tears that poured out of my eyes. My mom was alive..." Mother,"I dragged my legs towards her and I im
Scarlett's POV:His hair dripped of water which ran down to his face. The extent of his eyes on mine was so intense that I had to look away but still, from the corner of my eyes, I still saw his gaze fixed on me.I tried to keep my glance away but I just couldn't, I couldn't avoid his angelic face that the rain touched. While we stared at each other, I noticed a white car driving in and simultaneously, Zelda walked up to me, nudging me by the arm." He's here already, let's go,"When I didn't reply, she nudged me again. I broke my gaze away from the boss and fixed them on Zelda." Let's go then,"I was sure my fertility of vulnerability was nothing to hide about, surprised that Zelda hadn't noticed the boss which I was glad about.We got into the car which in the process wet ourselves and not long after the driver took off.Taking one last glance at the boss, I saw the look of displeasure in his eyes as he remained his glare on the moving vehicle.Admittedly, I felt bad for leaving him
Scarlett's POV:Getting outside and leaving Max inside to fix the mess he created, I saw Doctor Grayson helping my mom out of the car, Sonia on the other hand came out of the car with a folded wheelchair. She opened it when she got to my mom and Doctor Grayson helped my mom sit on it.A wheelchair! My surprise couldn't even be hidden." Thought you'd be happy to see me sweetie,"My mom's voice rang out as she was being pushed by Sonia." Uh? Yes! Of course, I'm glad you're finally okay," I bent down a bit with a painful smile that spread on my face. Mom reciprocated trying to push back the tears that had already gotten to the corner of her eyes." This is nothing, okay? Don't get yourself all stressed out because of me,"She could always see through me. I bit my lip to prevent myself from bursting out in tears. " Did you burn something?"I glanced up at Sonia who was obviously trying to lighten the tense mood between mom and I. She sniffed through the air before scrunching her nose i
Scarlett's POV:.The dark clouds engulfed above the sky, a spooky bat flying above my head that I tried to get rid of. My mind was filled with all ambiguous thoughts as I leaped away, the full moon being my only source of lightness. I couldn't bring myself to understand where I was or what was happening. The place I was in was damp, a tall tree surrounded the place with bats howling from every corner.Being too weak to even move an inch, I fell to the floor, my vision blurring and soon my eyes went shut. This sudden cold wet stuff met my skin and I felt myself falling deep into something, my nostrils blocked making it nearly impossible for me to breath while I forced my eyes open but I immediately closed it half way which gave me a hint of where I was.I was drowning!" Scarlett! Get down here,"I gasped and snapped my eyes open. Quickly sitting up on my bed, finding it hard to breathe properly but after a while I relaxed and my racing heart became normal again and so also my breathi
Scarlett's POV: I watched Max penning down his signature and when he finished, he handed the book and pen back to the delivery man and in exchange collected his package. " Thank you," Max spoke while smiling before shutting the door after the delivery man had left. He turned towards me, a mocking smirk on his face as his finger ran over the well packaged birthday present he claimed to get for Mom." So when are you getting yours?"I pressed my lips onto one another, lost of words, partially ashamed that I had nothing for my her." Nothing? Ah!"He shook his head before walking past me going to hide the present in a leather bag he had also gotten not long ago." I'll find something better than yours,"I told him. Snatching my bag from the couch, I began to make my way towards the door." And who's going to lend you the money?"I stopped on my tracks, considering what he had just said. He was right, I really do not have much money with me, shit!" None of your business,"I replied, ann
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

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
