**Mature Content**'Can I ask for one more gift, Gabe?' Scar asked.Her words were soft and adorned with emotions. For the first time, she wanted to ask something from him and this made Gabrielle feel wanted.He would be glad to give her anything. And anything means, anything...Tucking a few strings of hair behind her ear, he caressed there with the back of his hand and nodded. "Anything, little bird. Tell me, what do you want?" He asked.Locking their eyes together, Clasping her hand around his neck, Scarlett tiptoed and pulled him down, she answered him by pressing a kiss on his warm lips.Gabrielle gasped inwardly at her sudden act. He has thought of many things that she could ask for in just a few seconds but not this!Mostly, he thought she would ask for his private help in the project, which she didn't, and completely surprised him with the kiss. All the while making him more attracted to her.Gabrielle was surprised at first but then pleasure engulfed him, appeasing his soul.
After the amazing birthday night, Scar's day started with a happy wave. In the office too, her research was going well.Right before lunch time, Scar was discussing the future plan for the project with Jonathan and Elsa when suddenly, her phone buzzed.Scarlett was not a phone person in the work, but because of the legendary perfume project, she needed to keep her phone close, In case she miss any possible chance.Glancing at the phone she was a little surprised at the caller. It was Rafaelle. Thinking, it might be something important, she excused herself in the resting area and received the call."Hey, hi!""Did I disturb you?" Rafaelle sounded a little hesitant."It's alright, Rafaelle. Tell me about you. Are you okay?" She asked, a bit concerned for her good friend.For a moment, Rafaelle remained silent before speaking, "Can we meet? Today... In the lunch?"His troubled words didn't go unnoticed by Scar as she nodded. "Okay, send me the location and I will meet you in an hour." Sh
Her thoughts were conflicted that, it almost gave her a headache for no reason. But, in the end, she could not occur to an answer.Feeling disturbed, Scar arrived at the office again.Later that day, Jonathan finds her a little disturbed and as her well-wisher, he came beside her."Hey, is everything alright?" He asked.Startled at his question, 'Is it so obvious?' She thought. Scar felt a little guilty to bring her personal problem to work.But, as much as she wanted to avoid it, she couldn't. Watching him, she decided to ask for some help."Well, I have a question to ask... This is about a friend..." She faked her problem as someone else's story."Okay, what is it?" He asked."Recently, my friend is with a man and the relationship between them is mostly physical. But, there is another man who she thinks is a friend and he asked for help from her. He wanted her to pretend his girlfriend for the sake of his ill grandfather. The girl agreed to this. But, she couldn't come to a decision
On the way back home, both were sitting silently in the car when Rafaelle broke it."Thank you so much, Scarlett. Frankly, I have never seen my grandpa so happy in a long time. He has liked so much." He appreciated her help from the heart.Scar smiled, shaking her head. "Don't be too formal. We are friends, right? Moreover, meeting Mr. Edwards reminded me of my own grandfather. My grandpa used to love me so much.""Grandpa used to be so good to me and strict with others. He would share chocolates with me hiddenly, so no one catches us. Whenever I visit him, he used to prepare my favourite dishes, ignoring others."She shared recalling some blurry past of her memories.A light of hope flashed in Rafaelle's eyes as he turned his head more to her. "Do you remember more about your childhood? Or related people that time?" He asked, hoping she would say yes.However, much to his disappointment, Scar shook her head."No, my grandpa passed away at a young age. So, I just have a few broken mem
Getting inside her apartment, Scar locked the door and leaned against it. Thoughtlessly, her eyes went to the bracelet, Rafaelle has given her.The way he was behaving and his looks at her, was a little different than usual. Scarlett felt strange vibes from him as if he wanted more than friendship.'Well, that might be my thoughts. What if I am wrong about him?' She thought. 'On the one hand, he is a friend to me and on the other hand, it feels to stay away from him.'She tucked her bottom lip under her teeth mindlessly. 'Was I wrong for not letting Gabrielle know about it?'As her hands went to her necklace. The one presented by Gabrielle. She was wearing a turtle neck dress which was hiding the necklace from eyes.Without thinking much she removed the bracelet from her hand and placed it in the box. Then placed it carefully in the closet.All the while, for once Scarlett didn't notice that she was valuing Gabrielle more than she was thinking of.When she closed the closet, her phone
"Really?" Scar's curiosity was at its peak as she leaned forward. "Where is the place?"Rebecca thought for a moment. "Well, it's on the island. What did she say...?" She closed her eyes, trying to recall, and then suddenly open her eyes. "Oh yeah, Summer hold! It's the summer hold island.""Oh!" Scarlett gasped in surprise. "I am going there tomorrow!" She couldn't believe it was the same place she was going. All the clues suggested that place. Maybe, she was in luck these days!"Oh, that's good. You can search there for the ingredient. It's a flower as I said before. I will write the name for you before you leave." Rebecca assured her.Scar smiled happily and nodded.While on the other hand, Rafaelle was confused, staring at the happy woman before him. "Scarlett?" He asked.She looked up at him as her smile turned into a frown watching his expression. "Umm... What happened? Everything alright?" She asked."I am fine. But, how did you find the ticket to the island?" He kept his brows
"Rafaelle, you need to kiss Scarlett," Rebecca demanded, making Scar go freeze in place."Wh...what!?" She stuttered, feeling a little dumb.Rebecca nodded. "Yeah, you both need to kiss each other." She said again with a smile."Umm... N...oo! This... Umm..." She was too sound to speak when Rafaelle came for help."I guess, she needs to know the reason behind it." He spoke."What reason?" Scar frowned."Well, it's a tradition in Rebecca's family that when a meteor happens and there is a young possible couple present there. They need to kiss each other. It's a belief that they would be in good health and have good bonds in the future. They do respect this tradition so much." Rafaelle explained.Scarlett "...."She has never heard of such a ridiculous tradition before. She was left speechless and the situation turned very much awkward for her."Yeah, Rafaelle is right." Rebecca chimed in. "Now come on, don't waste time love birds. Kiss!" She pressed her hands together dreamily.Scar wan
'Missing me, little bird?'The words, immediately caught her attention, as Scar sat straight and watched in the voice's direction, only to gasp hard."Gabrielle!" Her all drowsiness was gone away.She was confused, surprised and what not? Thinking he would not join her on the trip when he was just right before her eyes, made her a bit dizzy.Gabrielle smirked watching her surprised expression and walked toward her, sitting right in front of her."Didn't expect me, huh?" He arched his brow before holding her hand and pulling her onto his lap.Scar gasped again. "Well, I... No! I thought you are having a meeting?""The meeting has been canceled. So, I decided to join my birdy." He caressed her chin.Scar bit her lower lip. Of course, she was happy! How could she not!?"Anyways, you looked so tired. Why is that?" He asked.Scarlett honestly didn't expect that question. She was caught off guard.'Oh lord! No-no-no! I can't tell him why right? He would be furious if he gets to know about w
Five months later...Scarlett watched her in the mirror, looking like Goddess in her glittery red slit dress and glowing with her six months old pregnant belly.And Soon she was hugged from behind with a pair of possessive and most protective arms. Her husband.Yes, they got married after a month of the reunion with her father. Since that day, nothing went wrong in their life. Only positivity and love spread.In that month, not only Scar got close to her father and got married, but Gabrielle and Rafaelle also reunited with their families. Both grandfather's asked their forgiveness of their grandchild for doing injustice to them and their parents once again got back together.Though Gabrielle couldn't get back his memories, with the patience and help of Scarlett, he could recall some glimpses of his past. But, he didn't mind it anymore as everything is going so well and he did not want to ruin it for himself or his family.Both Ryan and Gianna regretted their mistakes and decided to le
Scarlett felt a little nervous meeting her father. She didn't know how he would react.She felt a soft and assuring touch on her back. It's Gabrielle. "Hey, it's alright. Go inside." He whispered in her ear.Inhaling a sharp breath, Scar knocked on the door and stepped inside.Immediately, her feet froze, watching a sickly man, lying on the bed. She couldn't believe those features were her father's.He opened his eyes watching her. At first, he didn't react. Then slowly raising his hand, he gestured for her to go in front.Scar felt like her feet has frozen and she couldn't move, until it was Gabrielle, dragging her almost.Connor watched Gabrielle with a little bit of shock, lingering in his eyes. He tried to sit up when Scar helped him."Whe...n you..." He asked, confused.Scar shook her head. "He is Gabrielle Wolfe. Rafaelle's twin brother and... And my fiancée...""Hello, sir. Nice meeting you." Gabrielle nodded at him with courtesy and politeness."Gabrielle!" Connor seemed to be
"MAMA!" Scar's eyes wide opened with a scream. She wanted to sit up but a harsh pain all over her body made her groan as she once again was forced to bed."Baby, what happened!?" Gabrielle's panicked voice came from beside her. His eyes just closed in tiredness when he was jerked out with a panicked scream.When he opened his eyes, it was Scarlett, trying to jump off the bed.He quickly held her hands. "It's alright, Baby. I am here. Let me call for the doctor."Soon, doctors appeared and checked her, declaring, she is fine but they will keep her in observation for another day. Then doctors left her with her fiancée.Gabrielle sat beside her on the bed, holding her in his arms. Both were silent, when she spoke, "I saw mama in the dream.""Umhm... What did she say?"Hearing his words, Scar couldn't hold back her tears and hiding in his chest, she started crying. "I...I am the rea...son for her death..." She sobbed. "I... Always bl...blamed papa but... it was... me..."She looked up at
With the beeping sounds in the monitor and IV attached to her hand with some other tubes, Scar was laying on the white hospital bed, looking pale much.And a pair of golden green eyes was staring at her without a blink for a second. Twenty-four hours and he has been sitting beside her the whole time. No one could move him from there, not even his mother.He could not believe what the doctor had said when they had to operate on her. They asked him to pray to God, so the baby and mother would be alive.He was devastated and confused when the doctor informed her she is pregnant for a month now. When he was frustrated with the thought that why she didn't inform him, the doctor sighed and said that Scar wanted to surprise him on his birthday and that's why the doctors didn't inform him in the first place.Fortunately, the mother and the infant were fine. However, she needed complete rest during her whole pregnancy and stress out.Gabrielle rubbed his face, still in shock, thinking about wh
With beeping sounds, Gianna woke up with a heavy head. She got hurt in the head when that gangster pushed her hard and lost consciousness.Opening her eyes, her first thought was about Scarlett, if she was alright.She tried to sit up but suddenly the sharp pain crossed her head and a groan escaped her lips."Don't move." A deep voice said, adjusting her pillow and quilt.Immediately, her eyes snapped to the person and it didn't take her a second to learn that, he was none other than Rafaelle, her son."R...Rafaelle..." She muttered. "Y..ou are he...re?" She asked with her groggy tone."Yeah, I stayed here... Umm... While Gabrielle was with Scarlett." He said.A little hope of getting along rises in her mind, thinking that her son has taken care of her in silence when she needed him. Nothing could be more good than this."Scarlett... How is she?" Gianna asked, breaking the silence."Yeah, she is now under observation... In a weak condition as she is... Pregnant." He said, didn't know
"Oh no!"Gianna gasped, earning Scar's attention on her as she watched her in concern."A...are you alight? Umm... Yeah, I know that's a stupid question to ask. Still, ma'am."Gianna blinked her eyes. Now, everything seemed normal. Her looking like the little Lillian she knew and somewhat represents her dead friend.After Isabelle died, she looked for Lillian (Scarlett) and Ryan (Connor), but they seemed to disappear in thin air. And now she was watching her again after years later.Gianna gulped the heavy lump in her throat. She was feeling happy and guilty at the same time. Happy because she finally found her, guilty because of her past behaviour against her and all the badmouthing she did to her best friend not knowing the truth."Miss Wolfe?" Scarlett called her again."Huh!? Umm... Yeah, I... I am fine." She stuttered, keeping the truth aside for now."O...okay." Scar felt a little strange. But, this was not the time for greets she asked in a whispery tone. "Do you have a Bobby p
Scarlett opened her eyes. They felt so heavy as inside her head she could feel a drumming ache.She tried to move around but she couldn't. Confused, Scar looked around only to realise, she was tied up in a dark room, with thick chains on her hands and legs.She tried to drag herself but the heaviness of it was not helping her at all."How the fuck I stuck in here." She mumbled to herself as she looked around again, recalling what just happened.'Wait... I...' She gulped hard. 'I am being kidnapped!' He whole body froze up as she tried to recall the exact sceneries which seemed to be blurry in her mind.'But, who would do that to me?' She thought when suddenly a low painful groan came to her ear.Scar was startled at the sound as she looked beside her and gasped. "Miss Wolfe!" She whispered as it hit her.When those men were forcing her, she came to help but ended up being kidnapped."Oh no, shit!" Cursing in mind, Scar somewhat dragged herself to Gianna as much as he could and whisper
'Papa could be in danger!'Gabrielle held her in his arms. "I will not let anything happen to your or your father and will also catch that cunning woman. Even though I don't have much connection here, I will try my best. And for all this, I need you to trust me, little bird. Do you trust me?"Scarlett nodded her head in silence. She might not say the words or know Gabrielle's actual power, yet she was always aware that he could be trusted blindly. And she would always trust him."Good. You..." However, before he could complete it, another deep voice fell in their ears."I can help with that..."Both turned their head in the same direction and find Rafaelle standing before the entrance, hands in his pockets."Rafaelle..." The couple were in definite shock as it turned into anger for Gabrielle at a slow pace, but Scar's assured hand on his, tamed it a little bit.Rafaelle watched them and shrugged. "Well, I know you guys are not expecting me here. But, I am." He sighed slightly."I saw
Scarlett froze on the spot in shock. Her vision blurred with tears as darkness Consumed her whole. She was nauseous and suddenly wanted to puke.While housekeeper Carol kept talking she jumped from the throwing the phone aside and ran toward the bathroom. Only stopped before the toilet seat and puked all that was inside her stomach.She was so panicked and feeling sick that she didn't even feel Gabrielle's presence behind her and his rubbing on her back.After she let out everything, Scar felt numb and too weak to move as tears started streaming from her eyes.Without a word, Gabrielle picked her up in his arms and with a wet towel, he cleaned her face before taking her back to the bed.She kept crying and there was no stop of it while Gabrielle kept holding her in his arms."G...Gabe... Dad..." She choked on tears.She didn't know why she was very scared for her father. Always thought that she hate him but when the news of his accident came in front, she couldn't control herself from
