SCARLETT’s POV.From the way nis body stiffened, I knew I was right, there was something about him that I didn’t know of and it broke my heart.When he sent me to the room earlier, I was just curious and decided to browse his name and I was given what I saw, the meaning of his name. But why would his name mean that? Why would his parents even name him something like that?Adonis swallowed hard and began to walk towards the hotel again. He didn’t say anything when we entered the room and he gently laid me on the bed. Panic and fear was written all over his face, I have never seen him so shaken like this before and how the hell did he injure Ashely like that?Just before we could say anything to each other again, the door pushed open and Ashley sauntered in alongside another man.“Doctor, please check on her” Adonis intoned, “I think she broke her arm”The man sat near me on the bed while Adonis moved closer to the window, I could see him constantly clutching onto his chest. One obser
ADONIS’s POV.She looked so beautiful sleeping so soundly with my hands wrapped around her waist, those peaceful breaths, those gentle flutters of her eyelashes and it felt like the peace which has eluded me for thousands of years has finally come to stay.I wanted to hold her in my arms forever and love her but I knew I was only wishing. Sooner or later, she would find out about everything and I would have to let her go. I mean, who would want to stay with her murderer as a lover? I knew it was from her past life but there was a reason why she reincarnated as Scarlett, to hurt me. The moon goddess sure knows how to toy with me. As a mother, she didn’t even hesitate to cast me upon the face of the earth to suffer for all eternity and not only that, she bestowed me with a gift that she knew I would not be able to keep.The beeping of my phone jolted me out of my thoughts and I answered when I saw Ashely’s name pop up on the screen.“Tell me”“I am waiting by the car, Adonis. If you don
SCARLETT’s POV.I steered in my sleep and gently opened my eyes, my lips curled into a soft smile when his scent whiffed into my nose and his beautiful face came into view and my smile widened.“Hey beautiful” Adonis’s deep husky voice penetrated my ear and I gushed, how I loved his voice and his beautiful face.“Good morning”“Morning sunshine” he pressed forward and placed a kiss on my forehead, “I thought you wouldn’t wake up on time today seeing it’s almost noon”I smiled at him and pulled my body to a sitting position, his gaze still on me. He was looking at me like I was something interesting and he didn’t want to miss any chance in knowing what I was.“I waited for a while last night until you showed up” i decided to tell him.“I am sorry baby, the call took longer than I expected”“Yeah?”“Hmm” I smiled at him again, “okay, so what’s for today? It’s a holiday today, no classes so what have you planned for us? The last time I did, you literally wanted to cry because you were n
SCARLET’s POV.Sipping on my juice gently, I looked up to see Ashely walking towards me. He was dressed in a casual pair of pants and a t- shirt. He really is huge, I can see his chest pushing against his shirt, how come he always hid those under suits he always wore.“You are here”“Hmm” he nodded and lowered himself on the chair, “why did you call me? You sounded so urgent. Is Adonis fine?”“Want a drink?”“Look scarlet,” he continued, “I only came here because you asked, so tell me why you called. I am really not in the mood to have something to drink”“Hmmm” I sipped on my drink again trying to calm my mind. I wasn’t sure how to start this discussion with him.Luckily I got the chance when Adonis said he had a video meeting which would take a while and I was not about to waste it, I would be damned if I let it go.“Mr Ashely” I returned my focus to him again, “I read the book” I finally told him, I finally made up my mind, “the book about the cursed lycan?”I saw him shift uneasil
ADONIS’s POV.I grabbed onto her before she could collapse. She looked so frail and so fragile, I wanted to kiss her and take all of her pain away.“I am sorry love” I muttered under my breath, gathering her into my arms, I hastened towards the hotel room again.It was my fault that she had to go through this, I put her in this condition and I would never be able to forgive myself for hurting her in this way.As soon as we entered the room, I gently laid her on the bed and grabbed my phone but she grabbed a hold of my hand and gently pushed her eyes open.“Baby”“I hope the universe pays you back for hurting me in this way, Adonis” Scarlett said, her voice was laced with pain and sadness, “you hurt me so bad”“Look baby, I swear it’s all in the past. I love you and I always will, it was just like that from the beginning but I fell madly in love with you and it’s..“Ashely told me” she finally said and my eyes darkened.“He did that?”“Hmmm” Scarlett nodded.The beast inside me growled
SCARLETT’s POV.I groaned softly, opening my eyes. It was banging so hard and I felt like my head was going to fall off my shoulders.“You are awake?” His familiar voice filtered into my head and I turned around abruptly to see him seated on the couch, his gaze on me.But I saw it, I saw how he fell to the ground and was writhing in pain, I saw it all before I lost my consciousness so how come he was seated comfortably like i didn’t?“How are you feeling now?” He asked me again, “do you need some water?”“What happened, Adonis?” I asked, “how did you bring me back from that mountain? And weren’t you hurt? You don’t look hurt”“You ask a lot of questions, princess” he pulled his body from the couch and began to walk towards me. He was not wearing his necklace, something he hardly takes off.“Where is your necklace?”“It must have fallen down when I was bringing you home”Something was off about him, the Adonis I knew would never keep his hands away from me. He was always very clingy wh
SCARLETT’s POV.The buzzing of my phone alarm made me open my eyes with a frown. This was two days after the whole stuff in Santorini and I was glad to be back home, in my bed.I pulled my body to a sitting position as my frown intensified; I didn’t remember setting an alarm before I went to bed.My musing was cut short when my dori pushed open and Maria rushed in with a huge smile on her face.M“Happy birthday baby” she screamed in happiness and it dawned on me, today was my birthday and i actually forgot. Darn it, how could I forget the most favorite day of my life? My birthdays were days I never joked with, I loved to celebrate and mum always made sure to do that until she passed away and my aunt continued the ritual for me.“Happy birthday love” she said again, pulling me into a hug, “it’s so nice that you are going to be celebrating this birthday with your man” she added with a wink and I acogged, she knew how to be messy.“Get out!!” I beamed happily, unable to hold the smile t
SCARLETT’s POV.My jaw dropped as soon as I entered the hall, I couldn't even say a word as my eyes drank in the sight of everything and everyone.The decor of the hall was top notch and I couldn't begin to explain it, some of the pictures gracing the walls, I have not even seen before. How did he even get these pictures of me?“Happy birthday, Scarlett,” Maria whispered into my ear, squealing in excitement.It was past noon but the way the hall was decorated, it felt like an evening event and I loved every bit of it.As soon as I entered, the spotlight immediately fell on me and I came to a halt as all eyes turned to me.The hall was not filled to capacity but it was filled with important people, most of whom I know are affiliated with Adonis in one way or the other.A soft rhythm started playing from the piano and then I saw him, walking towards me looking so dapper in that shade of blue. He was wearing a different kind of suit in the color of blue, his hair was pulled back neatly a
SCARLETT’s POV.We both laid in bed, his hand snaked around my waist and my naked body pulled against his. My cheeks flushed just thinking about the most amazing moment we have just had. The best sex I have ever had and it was with fhs man I loved with everything I have ever got.“You know you could get pregnant right?” His voice jolted me out of my thoughts.“Hmm” I nodded, “I am well aware of that”“And still..,“I want to have your baby” I cut him off, “we lost our babies once and I don’t want to miss an opportunity to get another”“But you know I won’t be here..,.” I could hear the panic and the pain in his voice as he said those words, I sniffed not wanting to allow the tears to fall. I was well aware of this and it hurt me so much, so much that I wished I could take his place.“Even though you won’t be here, you will be watching us from afar and taking care of us right?”I wanted to make the atmosphere as warm as possible, I didn't want him to feel any ounce of pain or pressure
SCARLETT’s POV..“No” I half yelled as I jumped off the bed, “I am not going to put a fucking dagger in your chest”How could he even ask this of me? How could he look into my eyes and ask me to put a fucking dagger in his chest? How would I even be able to weild a dagger against him. My heart broke as his words continued to echo in my head.“I am not going to fucking do that” I spit in anger before slamming the bathroom door shut.I slumped on the ground as hard bitter tears rolled out of my eyes.I wasn’t even over our baby’s death yet and he was already asking me to kill him? Did he want to leave that bad? Was he so tired of me?“Baby?” His voice called out to me, just outside the door, “I know you can hear me”“Go away” I hissed, “I am not in the mood to talk to you. How could you ask that of me? How could you ask me to kill you”“Sooner or later, you would have to do that, scarlet” I heard him also slump on the ground too, his back ti the wall.“You and I know we can’t keep me a
ADONIS’s POV.I kept pacing up and down the office, I couldn’t shake her image out of my head. I hated the fact that I was being a jerk to her vexed me but I needed her to understand the gravity of the situation. If it hadn’t gone according to plan, I would have fucking killed her and jus..“Sir” Alex’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I raised my head to meet his gaze.“It is time for the meeting sir”“I will be with you in a jiffy”He turned and walked out of the room while I pulled my body to a standing position, the thoughts of Scarlett still in my mind.“Fuck” I rubbed my hand over my face before making my way our of the office, first things first.As soon as I entered the conference room, everyone stood up to greet me. It had been a while since I saw all their faces but that didn’t mean I didn’t know what was going on in my company. I knew everything about everyone.“You may take your seat” I gestured to them and they all did as they were told.“We may begin” I told Alex w
SCARLET’s POV.The two of them sat staring back at me, Ashely’s jaw was still on the floor. He looked shocked and surprised, every emotion that one could actually think of while Adonis kept a stoic face. He was upset, really upset and I have been trying to talk to him but he hasn't said a word to me since I told him about what I read.They both couldn’t find it in the diary which kind of made me wonder if it was kind of a classified thing for me. How could they not see it when I could?“So you are saying you tried this out based off of something you wanted to experiment? Are you fucking kidding me right now?”“But here is he” I said to them, “nothing happened, at least we know he still has two more times where he won’t be able to transform”“You put your life on the fucking line” Ashely half yelled, “what if you read wrong and you failed”“But I didn…“You know what?” Adonis finally spoke, his tone curt, “I have been away from the office for too long, i should probably going in today”
ADONIS’s POV.With each passing moment, I was waiting for my bones to break and reconstruct. I was waiting to transform in front of her and tear her into pieces but nothing was happening. I have told her about everything she wanted to know and she was suprised to find out that the moon goddess was my very own mother who cursed me and left me to suffer.Well, Scarlett had a lot of negative things to say but she didn’t say anything, she was a bit scared of what could happen if she said any blasphemous words against her.The clock struck eight and my anxiety skyrocketed. I have never been in this kind of situation before. I have never taken this kind of risk before.I actually listened to her without bothering what would happen if I transformed right now.The bathroom door opened and she appeared by the door, a smirk lingering on he face. From the look on her face, I could already guess what she was thinking.“You look anxious” she said from the door before she began to take slow and ca
SCARLETT’s POV.As soon as we stepped into the house, I pulled him into my embrace. He didn’t fight me off, he didn’t say a word and just let me hug him.His whole body was shaking, he looked so fragile. He didn’t look like the creature that I saw earlier. Pain tugged at my chest, I hated the fact that I couldn't do anything about the pain he was feeling.“Scarlet?” His voice filled my ear and my eyes opened wide, making me pull away from him.“Your memories are back?” I asked, surprise etched on my face, “do you remember me? Your scarlet?”I was searching his entire body even if I didn’t know what I was searching for.“Talk to me, do you remember me?”“Why didn’t you run faster?” He asked while cupping my face, “I could have killed you babe, i could have done something awful to you” a tear sipped out of his eyes, “I was not in my fucking mind and u dared to touch you with those hands of mine. You should have left, you shouldn’t have seen me in that situation”He was fidgeting, his wh
ADONIS’s POV.I kept following her, her scent lethal to me. From the moment I opened my eyes, I could see her and her scent, she was someone I knew. She was my fated mate and now I wanted her. I wanted her like I have never wanted anyone before.Each step I took towards her made me all excited, I would finally be reunited with her after all these years.The adrenaline coursed through my veins as I continued to chase her deep into the forest, a smirk baring from my lips. I knew this forest like the back of my hand and she running into it was making things easier for me.It would be easier for me to trap her and make her mine.Her screams reached me as she fell on the ground, her back hitting against a hard rock.She immediately turned to me, her eyes glistening with tears. This was the woman destined to kill me after so many years. She was nothing but a child, but she made me all excited. I wanted to play with her, just like my human self always played with her. She loved my human side
SCARLETT’s POV.“What’s going to happen now?” I asked Ashely frantically, I was very scared when Adonis fainted in my arms. When he walked into my room, I knew my firm resolve was going to break. I wanted to jump into his arms and tell him how much I have missed him. I didn’t even realize how much I was in love with him until I had to stay away from him for the whole day. I missed him, I missed him so bad thinking of how he would be missing me.I stayed up all night trying to put two and two together from what he told me.Believe me, it has been the worst alone moment of my life, I missed him and I wanted him. I wanted to go to him but how could I? A lot was at stake already, everything and even his life.He said I would be the one to kill him, of course I do not want to kill him even if I was mad at him. I loved him so much, I loved him more than life itself but I couldn’t get rid of my anger, he did a lot of bad things even from my past life.I was in pain, the pain of losing him a
ADONIS’s POV.I was curled up in the corner of my room, the ring twirling in my hand. Just like that, everything I have worked so hard for came crashing to the ground. She looked like she hated me, she hated me so much, I could see it in her eyes and I could feel it from every fiber of her being. The girl who used to love me with all of her heart now loathed me. I didn’t blame her, I blamed myself for falling in love with her. I should have stuck to the plan from the very beginning, I shouldn’t have deviated and fallen in love with her, I should have…A knock on my door jolted me out of my thoughts. Who dared to come to me? Was the person tired of living?“Mr Adonis” Vicky’s voice reached me, “breakfast is ready sir”“I am not hungry” I told her, “and you all can retire for the day”That reminded me, she didn’t show up. Even when I threatened to go berserk last night, Ashely told me she didn’t even pick his calls. This was more fucked than i thought. Just like that, it was easy for he
