LUCA'S POV.

"Make sure you search everywhere, and I mean every goddamn place in this city until you find her, understood?" I instructed the five men in front of me before dismissing them with a wave of my hand.

Immediately they spread out, I let out a huge sigh and started to pace around the room, continuously checking my phone to see if I was going to get anything from Scarlett.

She was getting me so worried. It was early in the morning and she still hadn't come back. After spending the rest of the day catching up with Grace in the laundry room, I'd realised that it was getting very unusual for her to have not come back. What could she possibly have been doing? Where did she go to? Had she been so angry at me that she'd decided to spend the night elsewhere, maybe with her boyfriend?

Or maybe had that been her plan along. To get me to let her go by herself and then flee as far as she could. Had she really run away from me?

Those thoughts kept running through my mind and kept me up

    LUCA'S POV."Hello doctor," I greeted once I reached the office. "I'm Luca Nicholas, Scarlett's husband."The doctor swiveled around in her chair to face me and then with a professional nod, she offered me a seat. "So, you've signed the papers," she started, glancing through something on her laptop. Tapping my foot impatiently, I said, "yes I have. I'm really nervous here doctor, please can I see her?""Not right now actually, she's at the ICU," the doctor replied. "Now that you've signed then we can proceed with the examination." "Okay please can you just get on with it," I found myself yelling out and the doctor still looked cool. "You've already wasted enough time as it is with your stupid, no touching rule. Can you just go save her now?" "It's our policy and I don't make the rules. Cases like hers are not just a joke, they need consent," she explained in a calm tone, giving off the vibe that she had the solution to everything. It was her job after all, to act like everything

    LUCA'S POV. "We would perform the surgery tomorrow, so you can decide if you want to stay here till then," the doctor said, going back to glancing through her monitor, not even noticing that I was literally dying inside. "So h-how sure are we that the surgery is going to be successful?" I managed to say, my insides shaking with anxiety. "It's a fifty fifty, you have to be hopeful that it's going to be successful," the woman said, her focus totally elsewhere, maybe on a different patient. I could barely breath and I feared that soon I was going to need medical attention too. Fuck. I couldn't believe it. Scarlett, stubborn and headstrong Scarlett was unconscious and fighting for her life in a hospital. Scarlett, my Scarlett. A pang shot through my chest. No!I should've told her how much I cared for her, how I really felt -not just the physical attraction. I should've told her that she was the only woman who I'd felt something for in a very long time. I should've never done all tho

    KEVIN'S POV. I wanted to leave the city as fast as possible. I had to or else I feared I was going to get killed. I'd messed up with one of the girls and her father had gotten involved. He'd found out that I'd been blackmailing her with her nudes and he wanted my life. I never knew that her father was a notorious gang leader, I thought he was just a posh billionaire. Once I got into my car after Andre had warned me about the fact that the rest of the gang were pissed at me for wanting to quit, I grabbed my phone and dialed Scarlett's number. Yes, our relationship had been utterly messed up and the last thing I'd said and done to her had been unforgivable, but I couldn't imagine going very far away from her without informing her first. She may not have believed it, but I loved her very much. The moment I'd seen her for the first time at that Halloween party that day, I'd been interested and attracted to her with no bad intentions, but then when my friend who was a fellow con artis

    RAMSON DAMIEN'S POV.The sound of my phone woke me up in my hotel room and groggily, I got up to answer it. It was an unknown number. "Hello, this is Ramson Damien," I said, rubbing my eyes and stretching. I was really tired and hadn't been getting enough sleep. "Son of a bitch," the person muttered under their breath and I frowned, pissed. "What the fuck? Who is this?" "Relax, it's me Sabrina," the female voice answered and I fought to place the name or voice. "Sabrina? Who ... I don't remember," I lay back in bed, rubbing my forehead. The other day had been so stressful for me, with all the calls I'd been getting concerning the rumours flying around, I was drained and too tired for games. "Sabrina Goodwill, the girl you forcefully fucked all night long at the bar after she refused to be your sex slave," the voice answered through gritted teeth.Memories of the event came rushing into my mind and I let out a breath. Oh, I could remember. She was one of the last girls I'd been w

    KEVIN'S POV. The news I'd received from the hospital about Scarlett had shaken me to my core. And I couldn't think straight or even believe it. How could that be possible? Maybe they had been mistaken or something, but that was surely Scarlett's number. There was no way it could be a mistake. I called again because the person who had answered had ended the call immediately she'd delivered the information. I'd been too stunned to react then, probably getting her tired of waiting, but now I wanted to know what had happened. I dialled the number again and on the second ring she answered."This is Green spring hospital, the owner of this phone is currently in the hospital—""You can't possibly be telling me the same thing you'd told me earlier just because I called again," I said, baffled. "You know I'm the same person from earlier.""What can I do? Those are the rules of the hospital," she replied dryly."Well, uhmm, I wanted to get the address, I want to see her," I said, forgettin

    RAMSON DAMIEN'S POV CONTD. I turned on the TV after I was done with my shower and frowned when I saw my picture on the news with the headline:INFAMOUS BUSINESSMAN, RAMSON DAMIEN HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF ALLEGEDLY ABUSING AND THREATENING SEVERAL UNDERAGE GIRLS: MORE GIRLS COME OUT TO TESTIFY. Next the news anchor gave way for an interview and I gasped when I saw the face of the girl who was being interviewed. It was Sabrina. What the hell?For the next fifteen minutes I watched her tell the whole story of how we met and what I've been doing to her while I boiled with anger. "And, ladies and gentlemen we've come to the end of the interview. Stay tuned for more news.""Fuck you!" I gripped the remote tightly before I threw it right at the TV without hesitation. I kept trashing around until I realised that I was in a hotel room, not my house and that meant I was going to have to pay for any damages caused. I really didn't want to add anything to my list of expenses. I flopped down on th

    LUCA'S POV.It was time for Scarlett's surgery and I was mad nervous, I couldn't even sit in one place. "So, I'll be going now," the doctor said, trying to walk out before, I stopped her."Uhmm, miss," I called, ruffling my hair. "Please I beg you. Do all you can to make sure that she's safe. Please do everything you can to bring her back."The doctor smiled at me shortly before she put on her professional face. "I will make sure I do that. That's my job after all. All you need to do now is pray for her to be okay and leave the rest to us.""Okay," I sighed, feeling some sort of relief from her assurance. "I'm counting on you, Doc."The woman nodded before she walked out, leaving me standing in the empty hospital room with a racing heart. I really wanted Scarlett to be okay. I wanted her to be fine so I could do right by her, really correct all my mistakes and treat her better. I wanted another chance with her. I wanted to try to be the one for her in a world where she'd felt like e

    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?""

    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
