The tangled web of love Almost there.........
Episode 31Scout’s POVI woke up feeling like crap.I was hot and weak, like a truck ran me over. I had seen the signs yesterday, headache, and body pain,but I overlooked it. Thought it was stress, so I thought I was strong enough to brush it off like always.Clearly, I wasn’t.I tried to sit up, but my body didn’t even listen. My head was pounding, and my throat was dry. Everything felt too bright and too heavy.And in the middle of all that, there was bella.I smiled weakly, just thinking about her. For the past few weeks, she had changed. The cold walls she built around herself had started falling. Little by little, I saw it, and I felt it.New York had done something to us. It pulled her closer. It made her laugh around me, roll her eyes when I teased her, push me when I got too cocky. She wasn’t just enduring me anymore. She was starting to see me.And today?She was treating me like a freaking baby.She forced me to eat, nagged me to take my meds, and tucked me in like I was fi

Episode 32Scout’s POVI watched her standing there as she wrapped her arms around herself like she was trying to hold her heart together or something.There was something different in her eyes, though... something soft like she was finally letting herself melt a little.I couldn’t resist anymore.I moved closer in a slow and careful way, giving her every chance to pull back if she wanted to.But this time, she didn’t moveShe stayed right there as I moved towards her.My hand found her cheek, and I cupped it gently, feeling how warm her skin was under my palm.She leaned into my touch without even thinking about it.God,My thumb brushed her cheek so lightly, and I swear my heart was about to explode in my chest.I leaned in slowly, feeling her breath mix with mine. And then finally I crashed my lips on her.At first, it was slow,And I was being careful like we were both scared that moving too fast might break whatever thing was happening between us.But then she kissed me back.

Episode 1 Bella’s POV The morning sunlight peeked through my curtains, forcing me awake. I groaned, turning to the other side, wishing I could sink back into my dreams where things made sense, where I wasn’t just existing. But reality had other plans. I stretched, yawning loudly as i listened to the muffled sounds coming from downstairs. Laughter. Excitement. Voices overlapping. I didn’t need to guess why the house had been like this . Ella’s wedding was in two days. Ella, my twin sister. The perfect daughter. The one everyone adored. I sighed, swinging my legs off the bed. It wasn’t jealousy, at least not anymore. I had long accepted my place in this family. I was the extra, the unwanted, the one people barely noticed until something went wrong. My stomach rumbled, reminding me I hadn’t eaten since yesterday. I stepped out of my room and headed downstairs, hoping to grab something quick before anyone could notice me. As I reached the kitchen, I heard my mother’s excited voice

Episode 2 Bella's pov A distant noise echoed in my ears, dragging me toward consciousness, but I clung to sleep, refusing to let go. Sleep was safe. Sleep didn’t hurt. But then A sharp slap tore me from the darkness. Pain burned across my cheek, my skin stinging as my eyes snapped open. My head jerked to the side as the room became blurry before it came into focus. my eyes opened to many faces. My mother. My father ,a room full of relatives. Their eyes bored into me, filled with accusations. I inhaled slowly, stretching as if I hadn’t just been slapped. As if my heart wasn’t hammering in my chest. Crossing my arms, I forced my voice to stay calm. "Why did you wake me up?" But I knew. I already knew. "Where is Ella?" my mother asked, her voice controlled, measured. "I know you hate her. You must have done something to her." She took a step closer, her lips trembling ever so slightly. "Please. Tomorrow is her wedding, just let her go, she pleaded. That word "please." It was w

Episode 3 Scout's pov She woke up with a sharp inhale, her eyes snapped open, wild, and furious. I stood still, watching. She was different. Ella had been predictable, sweet, quiet, and easy to control. She was the kind of woman who obeyed without needing to be told twice, the kind who folded under pressure and never questioned her place. But Bella? Even now, trapped in a room with a man she didn’t know, she carried herself like she had nothing to lose. She sat up slowly, eyes scanning the room, taking in every detail like she was calculating an escape route. Then, just as deliberately, she turned her gaze to me. I leaned back, giving her a moment to adjust, a moment to realize where she was and what had happened. But she didn’t react the way most people would. No screaming, no crying, no pleading for an explanation. Just quiet, sharp awareness. Interesting, I thought. "Nice to meet you, little substitute," I said, letting amusement slip into my voice.I wanted to see her re

Episode 4 Bella's pov The bridal dressing room was suffocating. Soft golden lights, delicate lace, expensive perfumes,it was all meant to be beautiful, but to me, it felt like a prison cell dressed in silk. My stomach twisted as I stared at my reflection. The woman in the mirror looked like me, but she wasn’t me. She was someone else. Someone forced into a life she didn’t choose. I never thought that there could be a day I would be forced into this kind of situation. "Scout, watch your back," I muttered under my breath, pressing my fingers into the vanity. My jaw tightened. This wasn’t over. A makeup artist hovered nearby, shifting awkwardly. "These are your options," she said, gesturing toward a row of gowns. Her voice was careful, like she was afraid I might lash out. "You can choose a different one or wear what Ella picked." "Ella." The name felt weird in my mouth now, like it belonged to another life. Of course, they all knew. The whispers, the scandal,the wrong tw

Episode 5 Scout's pov Bella was wasted. Not tipsy. Not just having a “good time.” She was gone. She twirled in the middle of the dance floor, arms flung wide, laughing like she had just been set free from a cage. Like this wasn’t her own wedding reception but some kind of cruel joke. The hem of her dress dragged, and when she tried to spin again, she almost fell flat on her face. I saw it before it happened, and before I even thought about it, I was moving. My hand caught her arm, steadying her just before she hit the floor. She looked up, eyes glassy but still burning. Still defiant. “You’re making a scene,” I muttered, keeping my grip firm but not tight. Her lips curled, smudged lipstick making her look a little wild. “Am I?” she slurred. “I’m just celebrating my freedom.” She flung her arms out again, nearly knocking over a waiter carrying champagne. He dodged, barely. A few people nearby whispered behind their glasses. I clenched my jaw. “You’re drunk

Episode 6 Scout's pov Sprawled across the bed in her wedding dress, mascara smudged, hair a mess. The earlier drama had settled into silence, leaving only slow breaths and the weight of the moment. I stood in the doorway, staring at her. What the hell was I supposed to do with this? With her? The woman who had spent the entire evening fighting me, spitting venom with every word, standing tall even when it was clear she had nowhere left to go. The woman who, despite everything, refused to be broken. And yet, she has become silent and fragile, a sharp difference from the drame she had caused during the ceremony. I should have been relieved. I wasn’t. Sighing, I pressed the intercom. "Rosie." “Yes, sir?” Her voice crackled through the speaker, steady as ever. “Come to the master suite.” Minutes later, Rosie appeared at the doorway. Her sharp eyes flicked from me to Bella. She didn’t need an explanation. Rosie had been with me long enough to understand things I did

Episode 30Bella’s POVI thought I was dreaming at first. The weight on me, the heat… it didn’t make sense. My eyes fluttered open, and it hit me. Scout was sick . His body was pressed into mine, his arm around my waist like he couldn’t sleep without me anymore.But it wasn’t the closeness that startled me. It was how hot he felt.It's really hot.I shifted carefully, turning to face him. His lips were slightly parted, sweat glistening across his forehead. His brows were pulled together like he was in discomfort.I touched his cheek.“God, you’re burning up…”I sat up quickly, panic bubbling in my chest. He should’ve left for work by now, but here he was, still in bed, sick and barely awake.“Scout,” I whispered, shaking his shoulder gently. “Hey, wake up.”He groaned, eyes barely opening. “Bella… it’s too early…”“No, it’s not. You’re sick, Your temperature is really high,” I said, already reaching for my phone to check the time. Almost 8:30. “You were supposed to leave for work two

Episode 29Bella’s POVWe landed back home, and it felt... weird. Not bad, just... weird.I had to admit it, though I’d been fighting this feeling since we left New York, there was something about being around Scout that made everything feel… natural. Too natural. I should hate this, I should be mad, I shouldn’t even have allowed myself to get this comfortable with him, especially after everything that’s happened. I was forced into this marriage, after all. It wasn’t my choice. It wasn’t supposed to be my life.And yet, here I was, standing in his kitchen, watching him make us breakfast like we were some kind of couple. I hadn’t planned on feeling like this. Hell, I hadn’t planned on anything that had happened since I kissed him in New York.But now? Now I found myself looking at him and realizing that maybe, just maybe, I didn’t mind being around him. The thought made my chest tight. It wasn’t supposed to happen like this. It wasn’t supposed to feel this easy.“Hey, stop zoning out o

Episode 28Bella’s POVI woke up to the sound of breathing. It was slow and steady, For a second, I didn’t move. My head felt heavy, my mouth was dry, and something soft was pressed against my cheek. My brain was foggy. Everything was too quiet, and yet something felt off.Then I noticed it, The rise and fall of a chest under my cheek. Bare skin and warmth that wasn’t a blanket. My eyes fluttered open, and I lifted my head slightly, and there he was.Scout.He was fast asleep, His face was a few inches from mine. His hair was messy,and his lips were parted, one arm wrapped around me like I was some kind of oversized pillow.Panic punched me in the chest.What the hell happened?I tried to remember last night but all I got were pieces, Loud music, Riri, A guy with slick hair who called himself Ray or Roy and then I got drunk, then when I looked towards scout something flash in my head.I kissed him!Oh my God.I was going to die. Not now, but emotionally? I was already halfway burie

Episode 27Scout’s POVBella was drunk. Again.But this time it felt different. It wasn’t just the alcohol talking. The way she looked at me… the way she interrupted when I was talking to Riri, something was off.Was she… jealous? Had she Started falling for me.I wasn’t even trying to make her mad. Riri was just an old friend from high school. She’s married now for God’s sake. I didn’t even think Bella had met her before. I just wanted to say hi and catch up a bit. But before I knew it, Bella had become drunk, talking loud, and then out of nowhere she kissed me.Bella kissed me……I froze.It was so sudden that I barely had time to process what was happening. Her lips crashed into mine with a desperation that stunned me. Soft, warm and familiar, even though it wasn't the first kiss. And God, I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel anything, I did. Every nerve in my body responded like a live wire. But still, I knew she wasn’t in her right state of mind.She was drunk ,Way too drunk

Episode 26Bella's POVThe party was already in full swing when we arrived. Lights glowed softly against the walls, music played gently in the background, and people stood in clusters, sipping on wine and sharing laughs. It was elegant and overwhelming, I suddenly felt like I didn’t belong.Scout, on the other hand, blended right in. He looked like he owned the place, like the tailored brown suit he wore was made just for this kind of atmosphere. He had that natural confidence, the one I sometimes envied. He walked ahead of me and greeted a man and a woman with a firm handshake and a nod.I followed his lead, standing just slightly behind him, unsure whether to speak first or wait to be spoken to.“Scout! Always good to see you,” the man said warmly. Scout and the man walked away discussing business.Then, the woman turned to me with a bright smile. “Hi, I’m Sharon.”“I’m Bella,” I said softly, returning her smile, trying not to look awkward.“You look so beautiful,” she said, her
The tangled web of love The start of something dangerous
Episode 25Bella's POV As I slowly opened my eyes, I realized it was morning. Scout was nowhere to be found. I never knew he had this side to him. Perhaps he always did, but I just hadn’t noticed before. I felt grateful to him for what happened yesterday, and I had opened up to him in a way I hadn’t expected. I was deep in my feelings, reflecting on how I had ended up in this situation. I almost forgot who I was. I stood up and looked around for Scout, but he was still missing. Where could he have gone? We had a meeting with the client today. I checked my phone to see if he had texted me, but there was nothing. That’s when I noticed the time.my heart skipped a beat as I saw the time.1:00 PM.“What the hell?” I muttered to myself, sitting up so quickly that the sheets twisted around my legs. My eyes flicked back and forth between my phone and the clock on the wall. Outside, the sky was overcast, the weak afternoon sun barely breaking through the clouds.How had I slept this long
The tangled web of love something between us
Episode 24Scout’s POVTiana insisted we stop by a restaurant just a block from where I had parked. I didn’t want to go, not even a little. But I also didn’t want to create a scene in public. The last thing I needed was her causing drama that would somehow get back to Bella. So, against my better judgment, I followed her in.The place was cozy and half empty, yet I still felt like the walls were closing in. My eyes kept darting to the door. I couldn’t even sit properly, I was already itching to leave.“Scout,” she began hesitantly, stirring the straw in her drink without taking a sip. “I don’t know if this is right but…”I didn’t let her finish.I already knew what she was about to say. It was written all over her face, in the way she leaned forward, in how her eyes tried to read mine. Honestly, I was already losing patience.“I’d appreciate it if you respected my wife,” I said flatly. “What you did earlier was out of line. I should’ve turned you down right away, but I didn’t want to
