Chapter 40: Sketchy

***BACK TO THE PRESENT*** “He will not come here again,” Kaleb said while pulling down the blanket of his bed. “Let’s get some rest now. Don't worry, I’ll take care of Luca.” Seeing that Scarlett was still bothered, he asked, “What’s on your mind, kitten?” “It’s just that I’ve always known Courtney was crafty, and after seeing her get along with her biological mother, I have long concluded that I could not trust mother Analisa too, but Luca’s father?” Scarlett said, shaking her head. "I don't know what I did to him to make a lie about me." “Hmmm.” Tapping the pillow next to him, he urged, “I’ll take care of him too. Just focus on your job and your studies. Leave the rest to me." After the heated exchange with Luca and Scarlett, Kaleb came in between them. He ordered Luca out of the hotel and warned him about entering any of the same Diamond Hotels again. Back then, he declared, "From now on, the Jameses are banned from the Diamond Hotels." Since Scarlett was uneasy after Luca’s s

Chapter 41: Karma Is Coming

“Well, what is it?” Scarlett asked. She looked at her watch and said to her three visitors, “Please. I still have a dance practice with Kaleb. I can’t miss it.” Scarlett was looking straight at Cindy, Courtney, and Analisa. Her patience was wearing thin at how the three were stalling. “Your sister, Courtney, is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice,” Cindy finally spoke. “For you.” “Oh,” Scarlett replied, her brows raised as she reacted. “That’s surprising.” Instantly, she saw how Courtney’s eyes watered. She reached for a tissue from her bag and wiped the corners of her eyes. “What sacrifice are you going to do for me, my dearest sister?” Scarlett asked, utterly curious. “Scarlett, Courtney will end her relationship with Luca. She figured, you are still so hurt about your breakup with Luca that you are making it difficult for us - you know, with your father’s will,” Cindy explained. “Sister, I did not want to make things difficult with father. He is really going through so

Chapter 42: Warm Welcome

While riding inside Kaleb’s Knight XV, Scarlett had been staring blankly at her phone, waiting. “Kitten?” Kaleb called. “We have to act normal. You are not acting normal right now.” “They haven’t called,” Scarlett faintly pointed out. “Exactly the reason, we have to go to my parent’s party, as planned,” Kaleb suggested. "We would be acting suspiciously if we did not." Scarlett sighed. She softly replied, “The fact that they never bothered to call me meant they did not see me as anyone important -” “Another reason for you to act like your usual,” Kaleb asserted. He pressed his lips against her ear and suggested, “Your father will be fine. They took the medical flight to Swaxon. Your father will be treated by the best doctors.” Scarlett and Kaleb agreed that Philip technically followed Aurora out of Braeton City under false pretenses. It was best not to reveal how they were responsible for him being missing. Still, what shocked Scarlett the most was how Cindy and Courtney had no

Chapter 43: Whipped Men

“How about a beach proposal?” Gaby suggested. “Kyle did that on his anniversary proposal.” “At the rooftop! Hire a private chef. Get a helicopter ride!” Kate advised. “I saw that on TV. Seems great!” “You can surprise her at the office,” Kenzie added. “An intimate one is fine too, son. Just… do it right,” Samantha also gave her two cents. The ladies surrounded Kaleb as he sat on one chair in front of the table. Scarlett settled across from them, feeling sheepish at how Kaleb’s family was practically planning his proposal right in front of her. “And what kind of proposal is that when you simply put it in her hand? While sleeping, I might add,” Kenzie questioned. Wincing, Kaleb turned to his elder sister, asking, “Wait? Did Andrew propose to you that way? Because as far as I can remember -” “This isn’t about me?” Kenzie swayed her finger in front of Kaleb. “Nope! This is about you - learning from all of us… Because you know how each one of our husbands asked our hands in marria

Chapter 44: Dance With The King

“I can’t do this. I just can’t.” Scarlett’s heart was galloping. Even as Kaleb held her hand, she felt her entire body become cold. After formally being introduced to Kaleb’s father, Ethan Wright, the entire family enjoyed a sumptuous dinner. What followed next was Scarlett’s ultimate fear: The Dance. All couples of the Wright Family were expected to perform a waltz. There were two sets of dances. The first was with their respective partners and the second involved rotating partners. The music began, and Scarlett followed Kaleb’s lead. It was just a simple set of box steps, with Kaleb frequently giving Scarlett a hint of which step to follow next. Despite Kaleb's efforts, however, Scarlett just could not help herself. She stepped on Kaleb’s foot. “Ouch!” “Argggh!” “Maybe you shouldn’t have worn heels, kitten.” Half the time, Kaleb was grunting, his brows often meeting, his face finding various ways to grimace. As they danced, Andrew, Kenzie’s husband, asked Kaleb, “What’s

Chapter 45: Friday

The party concluded two hours before midnight. Many of the guests have already left, but the Wright siblings were still enjoying their chat. While sitting in front of the same round table with Kaleb, Scarlett finally had the chance to check her mobile. Her eyes widened seeing how many calls she had missed, all of them, coming from Cindy Barnes. She turned to Kaleb, and he was quick to pick up based on her worried expression. She tilted her head in the direction of the huge double doors and Kaleb nodded, silently agreeing. Soon, she made her way outside. Scarlett found a good private spot where three sofa seats were set up in one corner. She sucked in a breath before making the call. “Scarlett, I need your help,” Cindy quickly answered. Composing herself, Scarlett thought back. ‘How would I normally answer this?’ “My help? That’s the first,” Scarlett remarked before asking, “What do you need, mother?” “Look, Scarlett. I would not come to you if I did not think I had another ch

Chapter 46: The Truth

9:00 AM at Swaxon Poison Center. “They had to put him to sleep. He was asking too many questions," Aurora reported. "Where are Courtney and Cindy? Why have they not even called me?" Aurora simulated Philip's words. With a sigh, she added, "He was starting to deny treatment, and it wasn’t helping at all,” Aurora revealed. She was sitting on one side of Philip’s bed while Scarlett sat across from her. Scarlett gasped. She studied Philip, feeling sorry for his condition. He was in a deep sleep while hooked on an IV. She inspected his face and swore his lips had more color compared to the last. She remarked, “I don’t know, but I think he looks better now.” She reached for Philip's hand and said, "I hope you get better, father." “What do you think, Aurora? How is Philip lately?” Behind Scarlett, Kaleb asked. “It has been two days since you arrived here. He is being treated by the best medical toxicologist in the country. I chose this medical facility for Philip’s treatment for a reas

Chapter 47: Poison Cindy

Weeping in her room, Courtney said to her mother Analisa on the phone, “Mother, the plan is not working! Luca caught me in bed with Elias! I told you, I never liked this idea! I want to see you -” Courtney’s words were cut off. Analisa warned her against it, “No, don’t! Luca had men come over here. You are safer there. Just tell Cindy that you broke up with Luca and he has gone mad! Don’t let him enter the mansion.” “Arrgh! What do we do now? Father is missing, and we did not even get anything yet.” Courtney cringed. “Poison Cindy! Give her an entire bottle. That will surely get her killed in one go!” Analisa suggested. “What?” Courtney objected. “How will that work?” “Philip would have died either way. I just hope he is not being treated somewhere, but we can speed up Cindy’s death. Then, you get whatever you can. I’m not comfortable with Philip being missing. Something is up and I don’t like it! I told you never to trust Aurora! You should have poisoned her as I told you to!” A

Chapter 48: Thrown Under The Bus

"Stop! Don't drink anything from her!" Courtney and Cindy’s heads snapped in the direction of the familiar voice. It shocked them to see who came barging into their tea session, looking like she was in a frenzy. ‘Why is she here? What is the meaning of this?’ Courtney felt her skin crawl, sensing this was not going to end well for her. “Analisa? What brings you here at this hour?” Cindy asked with a brow raised. “Don’t drink that tea, Cindy!” Analisa formed a full frown on her face and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She turned to her daughter and said, “I’m sorry, I just could not stand it anymore. You have gone mad, my daughter!” Feeling her heart racing, Courtney yelled back, "What? I'm mad?" Turning to Cindy, Analisa reported, “Cindy, Courtney intends to poison you! She wants to kill you!" Blood easily drained from Courtney’s face. Never in her wildest imagination did she expect her own biological mother to put the blame on her. Analisa was throwing her under

Chapter 49: Cindy's Apology

“Misses Hogans, I just want to thank you for giving me a chance,” Scarlett said in front of her boss, Jessica Hogans, after missing two full days of work. Scarlett was skeptical if she still had a job, despite informing HR about her situation. However, following her mother’s decision to hire a private prosecutor, she brought the case to Longhills And Hogans Associates. She was deemed a client, and that added a plus point for her. “You are going to have to make up for your absences, Miss Barnes,” Jessica suggested. “You are going to be extended in trademark and patent team, plus overtime. Mind you, I am only giving you one week of leave. If you can’t return, I suggest you voluntarily resign. I need people to move my company, Scarlett, not put it on hold, regardless of your personal reasons. You can reapply when -" “That won’t happen. I promise to be back next week. Misses Hogans, thank you so much for the understanding. I swear to make it up to you,” Scarlett replied with a heavy s
