Chapter 21: I'm drunk

Scarlet wiped away the tears streaming down her face, trying to maintain composure as she continued to eat. Noemi couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of her disheveled best friend."You should focus on one thing at a time. If you feel like crying, go ahead and let it out. If you're hungry, prioritize eating," Noemi advised, reaching into her bag for a tissue to wipe away Scarlet's tears. "We're not angry with you. We're just surprised that we didn't know you were already married. We always thought we'd be there for such a significant moment, or at least that you'd inform us. It's just a shock to us.""I-I'm sorry," Scarlet sobbed, causing a few curious glances from other people nearby."Alright, alright. That's enough now. Stop crying," Noemi urged, her tone filled with concern. "But why did you lie to us in the first place?"Scarlet bit her lip, her gaze fixed on her plate as she absentmindedly played with her food using her fork. Finally, she mustered the courage to answer, "It's

Chapter 22: Shadows and Secrets

Scarlet blinked in surprise at Jetro's words, her gaze flitting back to Storm, who had nestled even closer against her, his grip around her waist tightening as though claiming his territory. She felt his breath warm against her neck, sending a mix of shivers and discomfort down her spine. Was he really that drunk? “Ready to kill Mister Ford?” Scarlet repeated softly, unsure whether to feel flattered or unnerved by Jetro’s casual tone.Jetro’s smirk softened into something more serious, his dark eyes appraising her with a mix of amusement and warning. “Let’s just say Storm isn’t the kind of man who takes his wife’s loyalty lightly. Even if the marriage is… well, let’s call it transactional.”Scarlet's stomach twisted at the word. Transactional. It was a harsh reminder of the reality of her situation. Her marriage to Storm wasn’t built on love or mutual respect, but a cold agreement drawn up for the benefit of their families. Yet the possessiveness Storm displayed, even in his drunken s

Chapter 23: Lines Blurred

By the time they reached the Scoville mansion, the tension that had settled between them in the car had only grown thicker. Scarlet parked the car in the driveway, her fingers trembling slightly as she turned off the engine.She glanced at Storm, who was now completely asleep, his chest rising and falling in steady rhythm. A part of her wanted to leave him there, to walk into the house alone and pretend that none of this was real. But another part of her—the part that still cared, despite everything—knew she couldn’t.With a quiet sigh, she stepped out of the car and walked around to the passenger side. She opened the door and gently shook Storm awake.“Storm,” she called softly. “We’re home.”Storm blinked groggily, his eyes focusing on her with a lazy smile. “Home,” he repeated, the word slurred on his tongue.Scarlet offered him her hand, helping him out of the car. As they made their way toward the house, she couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t just about them getting home

Chapter 24: The Cold After the Storm

Morning sunlight streamed through the windows, painting the room with a soft golden glow. Scarlet stretched in bed, the events of the previous night still swirling in her mind. The conversation she had with Storm—the vulnerability he had shown, the way his words had cracked open something inside her—had left her feeling more confused than ever. But when she stepped out of her room, the air was thick with tension, like everything that had transpired between them had evaporated with the night.Storm stood by the kitchen island, fully dressed in his usual expensive suit, pouring coffee like the person she had spoken to last night never existed. His face was set, his expression unreadable, and the cold arrogance she had grown used to had returned in full force. He didn’t look up as she walked into the room."Good morning," Scarlet said, hoping to gauge whether he remembered anything from last night."Morning," Storm replied, his voice flat, distant, as if she were nothing more than a pas

Chapter 25: The Heart of the Matter

The sterile scent of antiseptic clung to the air as Scarlet walked down the dimly lit hospital corridor, her footsteps soft against the polished floor. She glanced at the bouquet of flowers in her hand, their bright colors a sharp contrast to the gray walls surrounding her. It was ironic—flowers were supposed to symbolize life, health, beauty—everything her mother, Mrs. Scott, had lost over the years.Her mother’s condition had worsened. The hole in her heart had grown more dangerous, leaving her frail, her body unable to cope with the stress of everyday life. And now, Scarlet’s visits to the hospital had become more frequent, more necessary, but always weighed down with guilt.Noemi and Daniel walked silently beside her. They’d come with her every time, as they always did, offering silent support. Noemi carried a small bag with treats, even though they all knew Mrs. Scott could barely eat much anymore. And Daniel, ever the protector, had an unreadable expression on his face, the musc

Chapter 26: A Heartbeat Away

Scarlet stepped out of the hospital, the cool evening breeze offering a brief reprieve from the emotional weight that had settled on her chest. The visit with her mother had been heavy, filled with painful truths and unspoken fears. Noemi and Daniel walked beside her silently, understanding that she needed some space after everything that had unfolded in the hospital room.“Are you sure you don’t want us to stay with you tonight?” Noemi asked gently, her voice tinged with concern.Scarlet forced a small smile, waving her hand dismissively. “I’ll be fine. I just need to get some rest. You two have already done enough for me today.”Daniel frowned but didn’t argue, his gaze lingering on her as though he could see the exhaustion etched deep into her bones. “Call if you need anything. Anything at all.”“I will,” she promised, although they all knew she probably wouldn’t. She had become too accustomed to handling things on her own, too stubborn to ask for help even when she needed it most.

Chapter 27: The Shadows of Power

The sun had barely risen when Storm Scoville made his way into his private office, a sleek, minimalist space at the top of the Scoville Group's towering headquarters. The early morning light filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows across the room. But the brightness of the day did nothing to dispel the darkness hanging over Storm’s thoughts.He had received a text late last night—cryptic but direct. “We move the assets next week. Make sure there are no loose ends.” The message had come from Russell Drake, a man whose involvement in Scoville Group was as much in the shadows as the dealings themselves.Storm sat at his desk, his fingers drumming lightly against the smooth glass surface as he waited for Russell to arrive. He wasn’t one to panic, but there was something about the message that left him uneasy. This wasn’t the first time they’d moved assets—far from it. But this time, it felt different. The stakes were higher. There were too many variables, too m

Chapter 28: A Heart Betrayed

Scarlet woke to the sound of faint beeping and the overwhelming scent of antiseptic. Her vision was blurry at first, but as she blinked, the figures in front of her came into focus. Medics. They were crouched around her, one checking her vitals while another hovered by her side with a concerned look on his face. Her chest still ached, a deep, pressing pain that made her wince.She tried to move, but a hand gently pressed against her shoulder, urging her to stay still.“Don’t try to get up just yet, Mrs. Scoville,” the medic closest to her said, his voice calm but professional. “You need to rest. We’ve stabilized you for now.”Her mind raced, panic flaring through her as she pieced together what had happened. The pain in her chest, the overwhelming sense of helplessness, the phone call to Storm... She must have blacked out. How had they gotten in? She didn’t remember unlocking the door.“How did you—” Scarlet croaked, her voice weak. “The door wasn’t locked,” one of the medics explain

Chapter 29: The Weight of Silence

Scarlet remained in the bathroom for what felt like hours, her hand still pressed against her chest. The dull ache had subsided, but the memory of the pain lingered like a bad dream she couldn’t shake. Her reflection stared back at her, hollow eyes, pale skin—she looked like a ghost. A woman trying to survive a life that was slowly eating her alive.Eventually, she pushed herself away from the sink and walked back to the living room, sinking into the soft cushions of the couch. The penthouse was unnervingly quiet, and her mind kept drifting back to the events of the night. How close she had come to losing control. The medics had left just in time. If Storm had walked in and seen them… she shuddered at the thought.‘He wouldn’t care anyway,’ she told herself bitterly. Even if he did, it would be more out of concern for appearances than for her well-being. Storm Scoville cared about one thing and one thing only—himself.Scarlet leaned back, closing her eyes, trying to slow her racing th

Chapter 30: A Quiet Revelation

Scarlet hadn’t intended to go to the villa. It wasn’t like her to seek out Storm when he so often avoided her. But something about the events of the previous night—the mini heart attack, the cold indifference in his voice over the phone—left her feeling uneasy. Maybe, in some small corner of her heart, she still hoped for a moment of connection. A flicker of something real between them.The villa was always quiet. Nestled far enough from the city, it felt worlds away from the penthouse Storm was given her, and the noise of their lives. As she stepped out of the car and approached the door, she wasn’t sure what she expected to find. Certainly not Storm. He’d probably been at the office all night or with… someone else. Her stomach turned at the thought.Pushing the door open, she was greeted by the familiar scent of the villa—rich wood, the faint hint of lavender. But what stopped her in her tracks wasn’t the coziness of the place. It was the sight of an old man sitting in the sala, fli
