SCARLETT’s POV“Sorry” I apologized immediately as soon as I bumped into the lady, “I am sorry ma’am”“It’s okay” she flashed me a smile, “you didn’t see me coming”I came to grab something from the mall because Adonis was not back yet, my attention was somewhere else totally and I bumped into this lady spilling her coffee. The day couldn’t get any more shitty.“Please let me buy you another cup of coffee” I said to her.“I should be buying you coffee” she replied with the smile still on her face, “I am the eldest one here”“I spilled your drink, I should buy it for you”“Nonsense!!” She blurted, “come with me”She didn’t wait for my response and grabbed a hold of my hand leading me towards the coffee shop.As soon as we got our drinks, we settled on a table with her telling me about her teenage son who would rather spend time with his friends than her.I didn’t say much, I wonder what made her so comfortable with me even though she didn’t even know me.“So tell me, you have a boyfrie
ADONIS’s POV.I closed my eyes for a second, trying to calm my nerves. Seeing her on a hospital bed fighting for her life made me so upset. Why didn’t I see that coming? I should have noticed the accident was going to happen and now she was breathing with the help of an oxygen mask.The doctor said she would be fine after a couple of days but I couldn’t take it, not like this.“My dear child” a familiar voice filtered into my ear and I opened my eyes to see her aunt,“Oh my gosh, how did this even happen?”I genuinely didn’t have the words to tell her because I also didn’t know what happened. “I must have missed something that was wrong with the car, indie” I told her, “and I am so sorry about that, I should have taken better care of her”“You were also involved in the accident, are you okay?” She held onto my hand checking my body for possible injuries. Need I tell her that couldn’t kill me? Or she wouldn’t find any injuries on my body?“I am fine” I told her, “scarlet suffered the
ADONIS’s POV:“I am full” Scarlett whined, “I really don’t want to eat anything else”“But you haven’t even eaten anything yet” I said to her, “you have barely eaten anything for the past two days, you need to take your medication and you need food in your stomach”“I am full already, let me just take some rest please”For the past two days, these have been the most words she has said. She was still suffering from the trauma of the incident and I couldn’t blame her, I was visibly shaken when I saw her lying in the pool of her own blood.For the past two days, I had gone berserk. Harming anyone whom I saw all because my mind was messed up, Ashley had to clean up after me intensely In the past two days but that’s not my problem right now, I was more concerned about the lady seated beside me.“Fine” I dropped the plate on the bedside table, “I will let you take some rest, you can always eat later”“Thank you”Pushing her body back on the bed, Scarlett covered herself with her blanket b
SCARLET’s POV.My door pushed open and I jolted out of my light sleep, a small frown appeared on my face when I saw it was Ashely and he didn’t look like he was sorry for the way he barged into my room.“Did I do something wrong?” I asked him, pushing my body to a sitting position.“How are you feeling now?” He asked me, his voice devoid of any kind of emotions.“I am better”“Good because I need to talk to you” he looked very serious and my heart skipped a beat, it felt something was wrong.“What is it about?”“You need to help Adonis” he blurted and my fear skyrocketed.“What do you mean I need to help him? What’s going on? Is he okay?”“Yes, he was” he blurted, “until he decided to fall in love with you”“What?”“I can not tell you the whole details but I need you to promise me that you will help him when the time is right, if you don’t, he will die”“What…“Don’t tell him we talked about this”After he was done, he turned around and walked out of the room leaving me to my thoughts
ADONIS’s POV.Standing at the foot of the stairs, my eyes lit up at the sight of her. She was putting on a black maxi skirt with a tank top, her hair was pulled up in a scarf and damn, she looked pretty.Her friend was telling her something but her whole attention was on me, how I wanted to snatch her up and kiss those rosy lips of her.As soon as she came up to me, her face broke into a huge grin.“You look so pretty” I told her, genuinely, “I can’t take my eyes off of you”“It’s all thanks to me” Maria beamed, “you should be thankful to me, Mr Fenrir”“Stop it, Maria” Scarlett beamed, “and you should get going now” she then turned her attention to me, “you also look good, Adonis”I was clad in a pair of jeans and a white shirt, nothing felt special about it but hearing her tell me I look good, I felt extremely proud.“Yeah?”“She can not take her eyes off do you” Maria chips in again and Scarlett prodded her.“Okay, fine I will get going now. Make sure you enjoy your trip and don’t
SCARLET’s POV.I woke up with a hand snaked around my waist and my lips curled into a soft smile. I was still over the moon about the fact that we were in Santorini but waking up to his man beside me was top tier.I couldn’t contain my smile as it widened, gosh I loved the scent of this man.I slowly turned to him, wanting to see how pretty he looked on this fine Wednesday morning. His hair was covering part of his face but he looked superb underneath that, how I wanted to caress his face gently.Seeing how deep of a sleep he was in, I couldn’t help but wonder just how tired he was. I mean he told he wanted to get some job done and he still had to fly back here, he was really up and about.“Are you going to keep staring at me or you will touch me?” His deep and hoarse voice jolted me out of my reverie and I quickly backed away from him but Adonis was fast enough to pin me down on the bed, his huge frame towering above me.“Good morning” I said coyly.“Morning?” He scoffed, “it’s past
SCARLETT’s POV.He was seated on the porch when I walked up to him, my silk night robe hanging loosely on my body. My hair was held up in a scarf and I knew I looked smoking hot underneath the robe.I was putting on the red pair of lingerie Maria bought and I loved it, it looked so beautiful on me and I knew for a fact that Adonis would go crazy just seeing it.He was long done with his call and was just sipping on a glass of champagne when I walked towards him, a sleazy smile on my face.“Hey handsome” I called out to him in a whisper and he slowly turned his head towards me, his face devoid of any kinds of emotion,“I was waiting for you to finish your call” I told him again, now I was standing directly in front of him, the urge to pull him closer and kiss him was getting intense. He looked so beautiful underneath the pale moon light that casted an ethereal glow on the terrace. This man was a natural, even the elements worked in his favor.“I thought you had gone to bed?” He asked,
ADONIS’s POV.TWO HOURS AGO.By the time I got back in the early hours of the morning, Scarlett was still sleeping. I quietly had another shower again in a bid to rid myself of any smell of blood from my onslaught. I have to give it up for Ashely, he knows how to handle my beast.It wasn’t easy finding a spot in a whole new environment of Santorini but he did and he was able to hold me at bay but I knew it won’t be for long anymore. I was getting too stony for those fortified chains and the witch was already dead, it was only a matter of time before I started terrorizing humans again.Having stayed in this world for years unending, it was finally a dream come true when he finally found ways to keep my beserk beast at bay but after what happened last night, I guess those times were finally coming to an end.It was a mountain far away from the hotel and it had guards touring the area every time, when he showed me a picture of their dead bodies, I nodded. He didn’t hesitate to kill them
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
