'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
"Please follow me, I will escort you to the resort to meet Mr. Tyler," Caroline said with professionalism and turned around while the unusual couple followed her.They sat in the four-seater which would take them to the resort. Scarlett looked around the island, recalling Rafaelle's words.Indeed it was a private island with limited flights. The island justice the name summer hold. It felt like no matter what season was going on, summer would never let go of its warmness here.Everything around was covered in poshness and people there has that rich aura oozing from them.Suddenly, Scarlett started feeling self-conscious. Between them, she was a nobody! Even Gabrielle seemed to be a big personality.She watched the gorgeous man from the corner of her eyes. She didn't understand if she was lucky to entangle with them or invited troubles for her!Her thoughts were broken when the car reached a beautiful resort. The lady escorted them inside and stopped in the reception area to make a sma
Scarlett froze with the phone in her hand. Lady Rebecca send her the photos where Rafaelle was kissing her forehead under the firework!She was stunned. She never knew Rebecca has taken their pictures until now and even chose to send her them at the very-very wrong time!At the corner of her eyes, she could see the frowning Gabrielle Wolfe and suddenly she felt a chill in her bones."Who is he?" His deep, husky voice was cold, unlike before. For the first time, he talked in that tone to her.She pursed her lips, keeping the phone at her side, and cursing inside her mind, she turned to face the cold man."Well, that's Rafaelle. He is only a friend." She tried to explain quickly."Oh, and friends do kiss that intimately?" He almost growled, standing out of bed."Gabrielle, let me explain first, okay?" She too stood up before him."Lady Rebecca is someone who knows a thing or two about the legendary perfume. And Rafaelle helped me to meet her. That lady helped me when I was in need and w
Scarlett watched the man before her in shock and confusion. She couldn't utter a single word and felt lost in an unknown hole.Her situation was noticed by Tyler and he pulled his chair more in front of her, sitting straight."Your father's name is James, right?" He asked.Scarlett only blinked at him. This man knows her father too? But, how?!Well he was telling another name though.She watched him in suspicion and shook her head. "No. Connor O'Dean.""Guessed he changed the name too." He tapped on his chin."H...How do you k...now them?" Mastering her courage, she asked, still stuttering a little.Tyler sighed sadly, before leaning back on the sit. "If I am not wrong, I am your uncle in a relationship. Your mother was my elder sister." He said.The information was too much for her to process as she sat quietly. Scarlett never heard about her having any uncle or heard of anyone related to her mother's family.And out of nowhere, this uncle appeared! Should she suspect him or believe
Scarlett looked at the clear evening sky of London, rubbing her arms to warm herself up, sitting on the bus.She just came back from the 'Summer Hold' island and truth to be told, Scar was still surprised by what she just experienced today.She didn't just get to meet Tyler but suddenly she found her uncle and the shocking truth of 'love drops' possible designer!Uncle Tyler believed that her mother could be the designer of the invention. However, he didn't have any proof at this point.She sighed, leaning on the sit. At this moment, she really wanted Gabrielle beside her. She wanted to share her frustration with him.Her life just turned so messy from every side. Her father, who believed he was not her father, despise her. Her aunt who is supposed to be like a mother always has a cruel plan against her.Her mother was the only one who would have understood her was not alive anymore. And suddenly, she has learned the truth about her mother's family!The designer she was searching for
'Oh no no no!' Scar panicked. She didn't know the password and outside it was Ellie. She did not want to fall in front of her eyes!'Shit! What could be the password? Wait... Is this mama's or dad's? Could it be... Camilla?' She thought and typed but the access was denied.'Okay, calm down, Scar... Could it be... Well, let's try it.' She then pressed the letters of her mother's name but again access was denied. 'Of course, it's not her!''Fuck! Fuck!' She turned behind and Ellie was almost inside. 'Okay, focus Scar!' Dropping the idea of opening it, she quickly hides the hidden door once again and hides behind that corner.Exactly at that moment, Ellie walked inside as Scar huffed in relief."What do you mean by you couldn't find it?" Ellie whisper yelled into the phone and Scar couldn't help but roll her eyes at the woman, recalling what uncle Tyler had said."No possible ways?" She asked, this time not yelling but sounding impatient."Oh! so the repair time of the CCTV was close to
Scarlett stared at the book before her. She came back home after the surprising incident with her father and now sitting in the living room of her apartment with her mother's book.Her mind was loaded with several thoughts, especially things that happen around her today."Mama was the writer of this book and from uncle Tyler's explanation, it seems mama was a perfumer." She talked to herself."If mama was the real designer of love drops and died because of it, dad definitely has something to do with it. Or, how did he know I am working on redesigning the legendary perfume project? But..." She pinched her bottom lip. "Why the hell I am not convinced that dad has something to do with it!?"She shook her head, trying to dust away the absurd thoughts. "Okay, let's just focus on the book, Scarlett."She opened the book and started reading. The book was filled with various experiments and ways to conclude elements. Scarlett, for the first time, realised that her mother was a very talented p
Scarlett was speechless at first but soon she collected herself and stepped forward to explain the situation, or tried to.However, she was stopped by Rafaelle. He held her hand intimately, pulling her beside him his hand, and snaked around her waist.Leaning against her, he whispered in her ears secretly. "Don't forget your promise, sunshine."Those words trapped Scarlett in a devastating situation as she had to stop revealing the truth. She was somewhat forced to cooperate with him.She could hear the enthusiastic clicking sounds of cameras and flashes over her face. Surely, this is juicy news to catch the heir of Edwards with a woman beside him and most importantly, he was holding her close to him intimately!No one would let this news slide and Scar could guess what misery she was going to face after this night.Suddenly, she started regretting the moment when she agreed with him!"Mr Edwards, please let us know the identity of the lady beside you." Reporters asked again."Is she
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
