Scarlet relaxed on her seat. Her eyes fixed at the mirror right in front of Peter.“If I may ask, why are you suddenly interested in knowing me?” Peter asked. His hands clutching the car steering tightly. His lips were curved into a sly smile. Scarlet felt something was undoubtedly odd about him.“It's nothing. I mean it's nothing bad if I get to know my personal driver.” Scarlet responded. “Sure. I'm just curious.” He rubs his head, yawning. “I never wanted to be a driver, you know. I had a lovely family. Myself, my dad, my sister and I. We were one lovely family until tragedy struck.”“Oh goodness. What happened?” Scarlet leans forwards a bit towards him, her palm placed on her thighs. “ I'm listening, go on please.”“My dad was a truck driver. He was driving his truck one day when a call came in. I was with him that day, in the car……” Peter's eyes flickered, his voice became teary and it quavered. “It was about my mom, she had been rushed to the hospital. She collapsed earlier. Sh

Lucas POVLucas swiftly turned to face Maria immediately she entered and sat beside him in the car. His eyes were cold and this made Maria restless.“Lucas, you need to believe me. Scarlet might have bribed Clark, just so he could lie against me. I need you to trust me.”Lucas looked at her, his lips pursed. He gritted his teeth in anger.“You are such a great actress. How dare you sit beside me and look me in the eye, telling all these cock and bull stories. You know what Maria, enough of this talk. We'll discuss further when we get home. For now, I need you to stay the hell away from me.” He roared angrily, pushing Maria away.“Lucas!!! Why are you being so harsh towards me? You don't believe everything that man said, do you?” Lucas shook his head. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. He was sweating even though the AC was fully on. Will Scarlet ever forgive me? What was I thinking? I need to speak with her. Lucas was deep in thoughts. His heartbeats could nearly be heard

“Your house?” Scarlet asked. “Yeah, I feel maybe we could Netflix and chill, huh!”He's your employee Scarlet, you don't have to be so nice to himScarlet could hear the thoughts in her head. She was silent for a while as she studied Peter's face. He doesn't look bad, maybe I can just while away time over at his place. Moreover, Lyssa is away for a night out with her girls.“Alright. No problem. I accept your offer.” She responded, smiling. The rest of the moment passed away in silence as they both focused on their meals. Peter stole glances at her. This act was obvious to Scarlet.“Why are you doing that?” Scarlet asked, folding her arms.“Doing what?” “You were looking at me, is anything on your mind?”“I was just admiring the beautiful human in front of me. I wonder why your ex-husband treated you like that.”“Okay okay it's enough Peter. You are still my employee and you need to respect that. Do not talk about my marital life.” “Are you mad at me?”“No, not at all. I just fee

Peter's POV“What took you so long, Peter?” A husky voice asked. He was seated on a chair, puffing at his cigar, his back turned against Peter who had just walked in..“I was busy. I had something to attend to.” Peter answered, his voice low.“But my men said they saw you driving with that girl.” “Don't play jokes with me Peter. I got my eyes everywhere.” He said, rising to his feet gently and slowly.He walked closer to Peter and stood in front of him smirking. “When will you carry out the task I assigned to you?”“I am on it, uncle. Just give me time.”“I don't have time anymore. I have given you enough time but you spend it going around town with her.”Peter rolled his eyes, obviously not interested in what the old man was saying.“I can't just kidnap her like that. Everyone will suspect me. They will know I did it. I am still taking my time to plan my acts well. I will strike when the time is right.” Peter said, his voice rising.The old man was Peter's uncle. He was the leader o

Lucas couldn't shake off the feelings of unease as he left Lorenzo at the bar. He needed time to think, to process everything that had happened. Maria's revelation had thrown him off balance, and he didn't know what to do.As he walked into the house, he was greeted by the cool air coming from the Air conditioner. He took a deep breath, trying to clear his head."Lucas, wait!" Racheal called out, walking towards him. He turned to face her, wondering what she wanted."What is it, Mom?" He asked, trying to sound calm"Where have you been? I've been all over for you." Her voice was laced with concern."I've been out with Lorenzo. Is there any problem?" He asked impatiently."It's actually about Maria.""Mom, I don't have time for this please." He said, walking away from her."Lucas, listen to me. Maria is carrying your child. I know you are upset but this pregnancy changes everything. You can't just abandon her now." Racheal said, her eyes filled with concern."I don't think the child i
