SCARLETT’s POV.My mouth hung open in awe as aunt and I both ventured into the house. All my life, I thought houses like this only existed in fairytales and romance novels but here I was standing inside of one. Whoever designed this house is surely a genius because.“This will be your new home now” aunt Indie whispered into my ear but I ignored her as my eyes continued to dart across the house.My thoughts were interrupted when a lady walked up to us with a stoic expression on her face, I was guessing she could be the madam of the house.“Good morning, Mrs indie and Scarlett” she greeted politely and i bowed lightly,“I am Miss Vicky and I am the head butler”Oh, that explains the expression on her face.“The boss will be down in a few, he is getting ready for work”“Thank you ma'am,” aunt Indie said.“Have a seat, he will join you shortly” she further added before walking away.My mind drifted off to the conversation I had with my aunt on my way here. This man, Adonis Fenrir was sup
ADONIS’s POV.FOUR HOURS AGO.I shot out of bed, my breathing heavy as I pulled my half naked body out of bed. This nightmare has become a constant part of my life now.I picked up my phone and checked the time, it was a few minutes past 5 am. This was my usual routine, I always woke up around this time every day and it has been happening for as long as i could remember..It kept tormenting me every day, showing me how cruel and evil I was. This was my punishment for being so cruel and evil, my karma and my pain. For the longest time , this was how I have lived with my nightmares.Pulling my body out of bed, I made my way to the gym which was attached to my room. As soon as I picked up a dumbbell, my phone began to beep and it automatically connected to my Bluetooth speaker.“Boss” Alexander’s filtered into my ear.“Why have you called so early?” I asked him, Alexander was my assistant and he was pretty good at his job. He has been working for me for the past ten years now.“I have s
SCARLETT’s POV.The beep beep of the alarm on my bedside table woke me up and I yawned lightly as I pulled myself to a sitting position.Dinner yesterday was a bit boring because Mr Fenrir couldn’t join me due to a conference meeting he had. The food was also too much that I lost my appetite the moment I saw them, I only ate a little before retiring to the solace of my bedroom.I was also aware of the time when he entered my room some hours later and switched off my light and covered me with the blanket. I purposely didn’t say anything to him or do anything that would give away the fact that I was awake and listening to his every step and his every breath.My phone beeped again, cutting into my thoughts.I pushed my body out of bed and made my way into the bathroom to have a shower and brush my teeth.In no time, I was on my way downstairs with a pair of jeans and a tank top.Luckily it was a Saturday, I could use it to organize my thoughts and even ask the big guy some things abou
SCARLETT’s POV.“Sorry” I muttered as I came to a halt behind him while rubbing on my forehead gently. He had a very broad back and I was lucky not to have really bumped into him.Mr Fenrir turned to me, a small frown on his face.“Are you okay?” He asked, his voice laced with enough concern towards me and I nodded.“Yes, sir. I.,,.”“You should watch where you are going” he cuts me off, “I don’t want you to get hurt”I swallowed hard at his words. Was he concerned about me genuinely or he just felt obligated to do it?“Sorry”That was the only word I could say with his gaze lingering on me like that, somewhere inside of me, I was already feeling too conscious of myself with this way his gaze was settled on me.“You can look at me as much as you want, love” Mr fenrir said after a while, “just don’t get hurt in the process”With a small smile on his lips, he gently grabbed a hold of my hand again before leading me towards the in-house elevator. I tried as much as possible not to look a
SCARLETT’s POV.We didn’t stop until we went to the office and into his private elevator. That was when he finally let go of my hand before turning his full attention to me, his eyebrows raising up.“Stay away from Ashley” he warned me, making a slight frown appear on my forehead. Wasn’t it too early for a warning? I mean I just arrived at his house yesterday and he was already telling me who to stay away from?The more I thought about it, the more confused I became.“Why?” I asked.“You do not need a reason, love” he said, “just stay away from him and do only what I tell you too”Just as I opened my mouth to speak, the elevator opened up and he strode out of it, his hands gracing his pants pocket.After a while, he pushed open a door and we both sauntered into the office. I can’t not help but marvel at the sight in front of me. The office looked so exquisite and so Adonis-like. The walls were coated in black and gold paints and the artworks on the wall were so magnificent. These may
ADONIS’s POV. I couldn’t help but chuckle at her own thoughts. How could she even think that about me? How the hell did she come up with the idea that I was a pedophile. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to laugh. “Pull over” she suggested after a while making my forehead crease into a slight frown. “Why?” “Pull over,” she said again. Heaving a sigh, I pulled the car over by the side of the road before turning my gaze to her. “Why?” I asked, “what happened?” “Are you a pedophile?” Scarlett inquired, “Is that why you said you were my guardian?” Despite my confusion, I couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. Is she fucking kidding me right now? “What did you say?” “I asked if you were a pedophile” she said again, “is that why aunt brought me to you? Did you pay her off when you saw a beautiful lady like me?” Beautiful? Yes, she definitely is but I have seen other gorgeous women too. “Well” i jerked the engine back to life, “if that’s what you think”
SCARLETT’s POV.I wasn’t sure of how long I have being laying on the bed until I heard my tummy rumble. I haven’t had anything aside that coffee today and my body was already giving me signs to eat something or I might collapse.Pushing my body out of bed, I made my way out of the room and down the stairs. I didn’t see any of the workers around but the aroma of something delicious filtered into my nose and I hastened towards the kitchen.I stopped right in my tracks when my eyes came in contact with the man in front of me who was busy cooking. I didn’t expect to come downstairs and see Mr Fenrir making dinner, I mean..My eyes traveled over him and I couldn’t help but admire the way his muscles were peeking out the shirt he was wearing and the apron looked too small for him. His hair was pulled back in a neat bun and I can swear on my life that I have never seen a more appealing look than the man in front of me.Could he be a pedophile?” I asked myself as i continued staring back at h
ADONIS’s POV.I continued to stare back at my own reflection in the mirror, a face of a man I barely recognized. My body was filled with blood stains and the beast within me begging to be released yet again.It all happened so fast, she was there but I couldn't control myself. The thirst for blood overpowered me and I caused a massacre, one that I would never be able to heal from.A familiar scent filtered into my nose and I turned around to see her, the same person who caused me to be this way and she had a smug expression on her face. I swear, I wanted to grab her by the neck if I could do that. This was all her fault, why wasn’t I born as a normal human? Why was I born to worship and do as she says? The more I thought about it, the more upset I became. I was the way because of her and only she is to blame for all of this.“You hate yourself, don’t you?” Her mocking voice reached my ear, “the cries of those innocent people will hunt you for all eternity, Adonis” she was clearly mo
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
SCARLETT's POV.Tears continued to stream down my eyes as I continued to stare at the white wall of the hospital. I hurt so much, so much that I thought I was going to die. How could I lose my child just a day after finding out I was pregnant? It hurt like hell, it hurt so much and it was because of Adonis.I would never be able to forgive him for snatching my little bundle of joy away from me.The tears continued to pour as I held onto my stomach for support. I wanted to feel that little life again but it was all gone, out of my womb.My door opened and someone sauntered in, I didn’t even bother to turn because I was not in the mood to speak to anyone right now.“My dear” aunt’s voice reached me and i immediately turned to see her, her eyes were also glistening with tears.“Aunt indie!” She immediately pulled me into her embrace and my floodgates were opened, hard bitter tears began to pour out of my eyes, I was in both physical and emotional pain right now.“It’s okay dear” she tol
