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
**WARNING!!! MATURE CONTENT**"Gabrielle!!!" Scarlett was stunned, not knowing how to react as she never expected him to find right in front of her home.And before she could react he just rushed on her, pushed her back against the wall, pinning her hands above her head and crushed his lips on hers, kissing her violently.The kiss was the opposite they had shared before. The kiss was more like a punishment than an actual kiss. Overflowing with hurt and betrayal.Scarlett tried to struggle to free herself. Even though she was so head over heels for him and couldn't get enough of him, she hated this kiss, wanting to break free.However, Gabrielle was not in the mood to let go. He was adamant to make things clear and... Punish her for what she did.His fingers curved around her throat, squeezing with pressure, hurting her but not overdoing it.He pulled her closer to him, pushing him more to her as his one hand snaked around her waist.Gabrielle bit down her lower lip, hurting her."How
Both Gabrielle and Rafaelle stood stunned in the place, staring at each other. None of them really know how to react.For Rafaelle, Gabrielle was just the director of the company she worked for. After confessing his feelings last night, he came today to send her breakfast. He decided to take care of her in each step of her life even though she refuse to take any.But, never in any action, he thought to see his elder twin brother in her home that also at the morning hour! The brother, he knew existed but never knew anything about him.On the other hand, it's a totally different story for Gabrielle, when he saw his look alike in front of his eyes.Some entangled broken memories were trying to merge in but nothing was catching up. This face... is familiar. But...None of them talked any but kept staring at each other, when realising something was off on the door, Scar came beside Gabrielle only to freeze on her toes."R...Rafaelle! What are you doing here?" She asked, blinking her eyes i
Two weeks passed by since Gabrielle left, promising her to return and let her meet his family.Though Scar didn't get to see him for the past two weeks, they have been in contact regularly.Every day he would face time her at least two times and call in between.Scarlett never asked him why he was sad that day and if he had any possible connection with Rafaelle. She decided not to invade his personal space and wait until he told himself.But, that was not helping her from not being worried about him. Because, while talking, she could sense his sadness, which took her every power to not ask him anything.However, not everything was happening badly in her life. There were also good sides happening.She made good progress in the legendary perfume project and all thanks to the people who helped her in this.Especially, her team members and uncle Tyler. The harb that he gave her last time, Scarlett made something from it and it was near to the perfume that smelled like the one Tyler gave h
Scarlett followed Ellie closely, unaware of the noble woman who just appeared to be Gabrielle's mother and declined their marriage.She hid well behind and was careful. Because of Scar's sweet and beautiful appearance, no one really doubted her.Ellie took the lift. Scar waited for her to go inside and quickly roamed her eyes on the screen. It said 3rd floor.Quickly taking the other lift, she came to the 3rd floor.When Scar came out of the lift she was about to get caught by Ellie as they came before each other, when a hotel boy crossed them with a trolley and bumped into Ellie.As merciless as Ellie is, she started shouting at the boy, which gave Scar time to hide behind the big decoration tree in the corridor.Though she turned out lucky, Scar felt bad for the boy. It was an accident and none of them sees it was coming nor Ellie was hurt or something, still she threatened the life out of the boy and walked away with her evil attitude.After the boy left, Scar watched her walk to t
The moment those words left Ellie's mouth, Scarlett froze in place. Her heart clenched in pain and her stomach twisted with a strange emotion. And suddenly, she felt nauseous.She stared at the woman who always called herself the sister of her mother. Even though Scar always doubted that she could be related to her mother's death, reality checked in and turned her views blurry.She gulped the heavy lump in her throat and clenched her fists. The pressure was too much that her knuckles turned pale and she blinked her eyes, causing the stinging tears to roll off her cheeks.She heard them talking further but her brain stopped processing anything and her legs were calling out at her.If she stayed any more second there, the scene would get worst. Either she would reveal herself before them, snapping and shouting, which would the worst scenario. Or, she would get caught by them.Even though she was torn, Scarlett didn't lose her conscious mind fully and somewhat dragged herself out of the
"Lord, please help me!" Scar pleaded to God and inhaled a deep breath before entering the restaurant.It was a private restaurant with a little cottage to maintain the customers' privacy. It was an aesthetic look and very expensive.Scar brought out her phone to call his mother but a lady appeared before her."Good Evening, miss O'Dean, right?" Scar looked up at the woman. A middle-aged lady with a heavy Italian accent.Scar looked around even though she clearly said her last name. And nodded. "Yes, I am."The lady smiled which never reached her eyes. Maintaining her professional courtesy. "I am Maria. Signora Wolfe's private maid. Please follow me. Signora is waiting for you."Scar nodded with a smile. Suddenly, she was not feeling comfortable meeting her. Something in her mind was whispering to her to run away, yet she composed herself and followed Maria.She led her into a room and opened the door for her. "Please, go inside."After Scar entered, Maria closed the door without getti
Scar was torn. She really needed some comfort after things just happened to her. A few ago she got to know about her mother's murderers. Then her father's pissing her off with the same stupid matter and now this... Gabrielle's mother, who just appeared out of nowhere, asked her to stay away from Gabrielle's life which she would never do! Even dared to badmouth her deceased mother!On her way back home, she texted Gabrielle. And he called her back.He was under work pressure. He said, soon he would come back to her. Not knowing, what his mother did.Scar decided not to add more pressure on him by telling him what happened when he was already going through a lot.She stopped the taxi at the roadside and went out, not interested to go home anymore. Some beer would do it because she desperately needed to vent out all the sentiments she was going through.Scar went to a club which was the last place she would like to go. However, her situation made her do it.********************A soft to
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
