CHAPTER HUNDRED-EIGHT

last update Last Updated: 2024-01-18 00:05:51

LUCA'S POV.

I was freaking out. My hands were shaking and I felt nauseous. It had been a very long time since I'd felt this helpless, since I'd felt this much all at once actually.

It was so overwhelming.

Just when I'd thought I'd seen enough though, I saw some very disturbing news about Ramson Damien's sexual escapes and my mood completely went to shit.

The man was such a dog. He deserved everything that was happening to him, and I'd made up my mind that Scarlett was going to be the one to decide what she wanted to happen with him. I didn't want to control her or act with my prejudice anymore. I just wanted her to make her own choices.

A thought came to my mind, I thought of the fact that Scarlett was currently undergoing a major surgery and her parents had no idea, and I felt like a douchebag for keeping it to myself.

At least even if they were bad parents, they had to know about their daughter's health. I didn't want to sound negative, but if God forbid, anything happened to

    LUCA'S POV. After the chat with the doctor, I'd left her office and and made my way to Scarlett's hospital room with my head held low. I was trying to come up with a way to take care of everything without getting her even more hurt than she already was, but deep down I just kept getting a bad feeling that something very horrible was about to happen. Whoever it is that was doing that anonymous shit had succeding in getting me really anxious and scared. I wasn't even sure if I could be brave enough for Scarlett. It was like the universe had decided to play some sick game on me by making me confront all my fears and it was so overwhelming. I stared at her motionless figure from the glass doors before I pushed it open and walked in quietly as if my footsteps could bother her. Her head was still wrapped with that awful bandage and her lips were thin and dry, unlike their usual pink and plump texture. Her face looked peaceful as she lay but I knew that she'd gone through excruciating pa

    SCARLETT'S POV. I couldn't tell what was happening to me exactly but I knew that I was floating. I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or awake, I was just floating. But how? I looked down and felt myself being broken free from the hospital bed. I had no idea how it was happening, but then I felt myself take a leap and then another one, and then another one and then there was a strong gust of wind that almost had me falling back to the bed. I fought myself fighting and forcing my way through the wind until I got to a brown gate. It looked very worn and was very tall, but I wanted to get in. I tried trying to push it open but it didn't even budge. I kept trying and trying, pushing and pulling but it was to no avail, and I gave up. I felt tears rolling down my cheeks and then suddenly a hand came up to my face and wiped them quickly away. When I opened my eyes to look at who it was, I gasped. It was my father. Why was he in front of me? I didn't want to see him. I could remember what he

    LUCA'S POV. "Nurse, Nurse," I yelled at the top of my lungs. "Hello, please call the doctor.""Oh, yes sure sir," a nurse that was passing by said and then went to fetch the doctor while I stood there, fidgeting and telling myself that what I'd seen had been real. Not just my imagination. The doctor came rushing immediately alongside two nurses and I led her to the room where Scarlett was in fact laying awake, looking to be confused as hell. Shit. She had woken up. Scarlett had survived, she didn't leave. God, I was so relieved. "Scarlett, you're... Oh my God," I ran to her side, careful not to mess with any of the many machines and wires connected to her body. I tentatively grabbed her hand in mine and placed a kiss on it, but I could sense her discomfort so clearly. It hurt actually that she didn't want me to touch her. Her green eyes trailed over me from head to toe before she said, "why are you touching me? What did you do to me, you bastard?"I pulled away from her, confuse

    LUCA'S POV. THREE DAYS LATER. After catching up with the doctor about Scarlett's condition, I left her office and made my way back to Scarlett's room. She was lying on her bed with her head propped as she stared blankly ahead. My breath stopped when I saw her face. Damn. I'd never seen someone look so beautiful while in a condition like this before. The bandage wrapped around her head had somehow become cute now, and her eyes had finally started to come alive. I watched her from the glass doors for a while until I cleared my throat, walking inside. "What are you thinking about?" I asked, crossing my arms. She noticed me and a frown settled on her face. "How could I not hate you? What could have happened in those months that made me trust you?"This question again. She'd been asking it steadily since she woke up. I understood why she was confused and wanted to know, I mean, if the last thing she could remember was when I pointed a gun at her and her boyfriend then she had every r

    LUCA'S POV.I read the message several times until I replied. Me: What plan? How can I help?Raymond: I'll need to see you. Raymond: You'll need to come to the station. Me: Okay I'll be there as soon as you text me the address. Raymond: Sure, I'll do that. Sorry you have to leave your wife. Me: it's no problem. Immediately the address was sent to me, I shoved my phone into my pocket and practically ran back to Scarlett's hospital room. A nurse was there now, giving her some injections while she lay in silence, staring at the wall blankly. "Hi," I said, getting both their attention. "uhhm... I'll have to leave now, just for a while I'll be back soon."Scarlett frowned at me. "Leaving? Where are you going to?""I'm going to take care of some stuff," I said, scratching the back of my neck. I don't know why it was so difficult to keep the truth from her. I mean, she completely did not need to know about the person who tried to kill her, or that I was currently in touch with the pol

    SCARLETT'S POV. After Luca had left, I realised that I really was alone. The nurse had been a good company but then eventually she'd left to go on with her business and I'd realised that I really had no one to talk to and nothing to do. And after staring at the ceiling for a long time and thinking of how miserable I felt, not being able to walk or stand or move anywhere from around my pelvis area, I decided that I'd had enough. The nurse had mentioned something about trying to get some fresh air earlier, maybe I could try to do that. I was looking through the window at the trees that were blowing out with the wind, when my mind caught on something. Abby. Abby, I'd totally forgotten about her or the rest of my friends. Luca had definitely not told her that I was here. I needed her so much right now. It felt like I had no body, and I was regretting allowing Luca to leave me here. Who knew when he was going to be back? He had probably had enough with staying here and doing nothing wi

    LUCA'S POV. I got out of the car with steady feet and determination as I shut the door. I took a quick look at the environment I was in. It was deserted as described and really shady looking. The house was old and looking to be on the verge of collapsing even. As I walked to the entrance, I took note of the dead plants and weeds all around the surroundings and made sure that all my equipments were still on me before I brought out my phone to text the person. Me: I'm standing outside. Where are you?They replied quickly. Unknown: did you come empty-handed? No police like I asked? It would be in your best interest.I scoffed in my mind, but replied with,Me: sure, I did as you said. Can you come out now? I just want to protect Scarlett.Unknown: okay then. Look to your left. I did as I was told but I didn't see anyone around. Me: are you kidding? I can't see you.Unknown: Look around your left.

    LUCA'S POV. "Why are you not scared?" Penelope asked, eyeing me from head to toe. I just shrugged. "You're not really very scary now that I know you're the one.""But you saw what I did to Scarlett," she sounded really pissed. "Wasn't that scary enough for you? I'm pointing a fucking gun to your head actually.""Yeah, I know," I stuffed my hands into my pocket and bounced on my toes. "I'm still not scared of you or that guy. Who is he anyways? Your lapdog?"The guy behind her growled at that and came towards me so fast to throw a punch. He landed the blow, but immediately he did, I got mad and decided that I could actually beat the shit out of him.He landed another blow to my cheek and then he tried again, but I dodged and realised that if I wanted to have the upper hand, I had to find a way to take him down. "You stop that now, tiger," Penelope warned, pointing the gun at the two of us, confused. I used the opportunity I got once the guy turned to look at her to my advantage. Ti

    SCARLETT'S POV.The moment Luca's lips touched mine, I melted into a puddle. My knees had gone weak and I feared they were going to buckle soon if I wasn't careful. Damn. The man knew how to kiss. He made sure that he ravaged my mouth with intensity, showing me with the kiss just how much he really wanted me. From my face, his hands travelled to my spine and then all the way back up to my hair and then he pulled. Shit, the force of the action caused a sting, but it was sweet. The pain was delicious. I loved it. He continued to kiss my mouth like his life depended on it until he decided that he'd had enough of it and wanted to taste my neck. Once his mouth touched there, I straight up melted into him, to the point he had to hold me up. "Woah," he laughed, amsued. "I haven't even touched you. You don't even know all the things I have planned for you.""Stop being cocky and kiss me," I demanded, pulling him back to my mouth and he let out a satisfactory growl."You're so damn sexy,

    SCARLETT'S POV. THREE HOURS LATER. The party had started to get heated. People were popping in from every corner now. And the place started to get a bit crowded and tight. Many had decided to go out to the garden but it still felt like we were at a concert or something. It had been a bad choice Matt had made to organise the party at the house. The set-up was beautiful no doubt but it was becoming too suffocating. Or maybe it was just my body's reaction to Luca sitting beside me on our table.The rest of the guest looked like they didn't mind at all. Maybe it was just me actually. "So, how has therapy been?" Luca's voice sounded so close to my ear and I practically jumped in my seat, embarassing myself further. "It's been really good," I smiled tightly. "Uhh... The therapist has been really good and understanding. I-I feel like a totally different person now."I could remember giving him the same response some time ago when he'd asked. Shit. Why was I acting that way?And where t

    SCARLETT'S POV. Abby arrived not long after and after we were both done getting ready and checking each other out, we said goodbye to mum and headed for the venue in an Uber. Matt's two storey house was flooded with people when we got in, it was crazy that the guy knew that much people. "Shit, this is way more than I expected," Abby said, looking around the garden that was filled with several cooperate looking people. "Yeah thank god that you convinced me to wear this dress," I said, looking at the dresses of the other women aroun. It was like we'd come for some sort of fashion show or something. "Exactly why you should always trust my opinions," she smiled, smoothing down the skirt of her royal blue dress. She looked amazing actually in that dress and her hair slicked back. We both looked amazing actually. "Come on let's go inside," I pulled her hand and we both walked with our heads held high into the house where soft music was playing from the speakers. "Sheesh, nice design,

    SCARLETT'S POV.FIVE MONTHS LATER. This was the fifth time I'd checked my appearance out in the mirror and I was still nervous. God, why did the thought of him still make me so nervous? I finally made up my mind that I looked really good in the dress. It was a red dress that Abby had picked out for me two weeks after I'd been discharged from the hospital. It had been crazy expensive and I'd wanted to abandon it because I couldn't pay, but then Abby had offered to pay, saying that it was a gift to me, celebrating my release from the hospital and the fact that I could finally walk on my own two feet. I'd been discharged from the hospital way earlier than the doctor had expected. The doctor had told us that my case was very special and unusual, and he'd never seen anything quite like it before. He'd made sure that I'd spent another two weeks extra in the hospital just to make sure that there were no further complications. And finally after a whole month and a half of being in the hosp

    LUCA'S POV.After Belle left I stayed for a while outside, watching the sky as it got darker and darker. I kept thinking about Isabella and dad, and everything that had happened, but this time I found that the more I thought about it, the more I started to see Belle's point clearly. That was the problem, I was holding onto the pain and bitterness for too long, I didn't even know how to stop doing it. I'd thought I was ready let it all go for Scarlett, but today had made me realise that there was still a part of me that wanted to be mad at her, at somebody for everything. It wasn't fair at all to Scarlett. She didn't deserve to get hate for something that she knew nothing about. After a little more time reflecting, I slapped my palms and decided that I had to go talk to her. About everything. Just let it all out. And see where we can go from there. I made my way back to the room where I saw Marilyn and Scarlett hugging from the glass doors. Abby just stood watching them with tears i

    LUCA'S POV. On getting outside, I bumped into a nurse that was carrying a tray and we both let out string of curses. "Shit I'm sorry," I said, getting down to help her pick up her tray. "I'm so sorry."She picked up the last piece of equipment and looked up at me. "It's fine. Why are you in such a hurry anyways? Is the hospital on fire?"I turned down my lips. "No of course not.""Then why did you almost knock me all the way to hell?" She asked, smirking. "And why do you look like a wounded puppy?""I'm just in a really shitty mood, I don't even know how to feel," I said, wondering after I'd said it, why. Why did I just tell her that? The nurse balanced her tray and gave me a look of sympathy. "Do you want to tell me what happened?" I thought about it for a long while and decided, "no, not everything at least."The nurse smiled. She had such kind eyes and an equally kind smile, funny enough, she kind of reminded me of Isabella so much. They had so much similarities in their facial

    LUCA'S POV. I wasn't sure if I'd heard properly. Had Marilyn just talked about Isabella? Isabella, my sister. How the heck did she get to know."How did you?" I started but then trailed off, stunned. "You know about Isabella?""Yes I do," Marilyn offered me a sad smile. "Wait... Isabella?"Scarlett questioned, she and her friend looking completely lost. "That's... What did he to her?"I couldn't respond. I couldn't say anything more actually. It was like my throat had gone completely tight and no sound could come out. What the heck was with that reaction?"What he did to all the other girls," Marilyn answered. "She used to work as an intern at the company, and your dad he... h-he was abusing her for the longest time.""Fuck," Scarlett gasped, voice shaking. "How? W-why was she? Oh my God... Dad is such an asshole."Abby looked horrified by the news too, she went over to offer Scarlett some comfort when she saw the was her friend was reacting. This was not good for Scarlett. She didn

    LUCA'S POV. "Thanks so much for your time, officer," I reached out to shake hands with Raymond and he reciprocated. "It was my pleasure," he smiled. "I'm kinda pissed though, that that turned out so easy."I smirked at him, thinking the same. "Yeah, that was a waste of so much planning. I thought I was going to get my movie scene moment, but I guess not ..."Raymond chuckled. "Go back to your wife now. You don't want to miss anything, do you?""Yeah, sure I don't," I threw him a salute. "I'll see you when I see you then."I was about to leave but then he stopped me by saying,"Hey hold up."I turned around and rose an eyebrow. "What's up?"He gave me a weird look. "Aren't you a little bothered about what happened though, I mean you guys are related because of Scarlett.""What do you mean?""Ramson Damien?" He questioned. "You haven't heard yet? He's been arrested after several charges that have been pressed against him.""What?" I gasped. "How the fuck did I not hear of that yet?""
