All Chapters of Once Upon a Night With My Stepdad: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Scarlett's eyes flipped open and she looked around, trying to recall where she was. She finally understood that she was in her room, lying on the bed. She suddenly remembered everything that happened before she passed out, everything that Adrian said to her, and immediately broke down. She cried her eyes out, her heart aching like an arrow had been driven into it. She couldn't believe that the man she had been fighting to have for close to a year now was nothing but a fraud. He had been pretending all this while and kept his motives hidden. It was almost as if the universe was constantly testing her, things always seemed to turn sour every time she started to enjoy herself. “I hope this all ends up being a dream.” She sniffed, tears blurring her vision. She pulled her own hair, overwhelmed by pain and anger. She didn't know what to think or what to do, she felt like she was drowning and there was no one to save her. She sat up on the bed, tears still pouring down her cheeks.The doo

“Kidnapped? What the hell do you mean by that?” Scarlett's voice was low but emitted worry. She lifted her eyes to look at Lily whose eyes wandered. It was obvious that she was hiding something.“I'll call you back Nelly.” She hung up and faced Lily with a looming glare.“Did you know?” Her voice was low, anger lingering in her tone.“Well… I.. I found out but your uncle asked me not to tell you anything.” Lily answered, releasing a loud sigh. Scarlett clenched her fists, and every thought of the heartbreak she was feeling, dissipated.“Why would you…!” She paused and immediately called her uncle.Her heart had sunk into her stomach at the thought of her mother being in the hands of some ruthless men. She almost lost it, thinking about what they could be putting her through. Tears started to gather under her eyes but she blinked them away while waiting for her uncle to pick up his phone.“Scarlett.” His voice came, echoes following the sound of his voice. He seemed to be in a large sp

“I found a match for you!” Lily shrieked, running to Scarlett and shoving her phone in her face. Scarlett was a bit startled by this but went ahead to check the phone. She was confused when she saw a photo of a man, all his interests written down beside his photo like a profile.“What is this? Who is he?” Scarlett questioned.“Can't you see? You both are a match, your interests and hobbies are the same and it doesn't hurt that he's a sweet piece of candy.” Lily winked, a naughty grin playing across her face.“Are you being serious right now Lily? I'm sick of you trying to hook me up with all these men from dating sites.” Scarlett argued, flipping through the pages of the magazine in her hands. “Come on Scarlett, just meet up with him. If you don't like him, then that's fine.” “I will not.” “Yes Lily, leave her alone. Besides, online dating is so overrated.” Nelly chuckled, entering the room with three glasses of juice which she expertly balanced on her hand. She handed Scarlett and

Instinctively, Scarlett stepped back, getting rid of the idea of going to meet Adrian. This new lady of his seemed to cling onto him quite tightly and led him away to meet with a bunch of other people. Scarlett couldn't help but fume as she watched them, feeling the blood pumping through her veins. She tried to ignore them and make business connections like she had originally planned, but her eyes kept darting towards their direction.The girl Adrian was with was effortlessly beautiful, and Scarlett couldn't deny that. She was petite but possessed charming curves, which were even more accentuated by the dress she was putting on. Her hair was long, reaching to her waist, and she flung it about at every given opportunity.Scarlett couldn't take her eyes off them, especially because Adrian seemed happy with the girl. She hated to admit to herself that she was jealous.“Why would I be jealous? He's a liar, and I want nothing to do with him.” She scoffed, mumbling to herself.“Miss Davenp

“I told you I don't wanna leave the house.” Scarlett whined as she made her way into the gallery with Lily beside her.“You need some fresh air. You need to be around things that make you happy, and that's art pieces. That's why I brought you here.” Lily answered. They walked further into the gallery and started to check out some of the exotic pieces. Even though Scarlett didn't want to come out at first, she started to feel peaceful as she admired the pieces. A visit to the gallery wasn't going to wipe off all the problems she had, but it would lift the burden for a 6 that was enough for her. She was still waiting for the DNA test results. That would be the solution to everything.“Hi Scarlett.” A familiar voice called, sending chills down Scarlett's spine. She took a moment before turning, her eyes meeting with the most beautiful pair of gray eyes she had ever seen. A strong scent of coffee and lavender invaded her nostrils, giving her a soothing feeling. She couldn't help but g
