Peter leaned in, his warm breath caressing scarlet's neck as he whispered urgently into her ear.“I think you should relocate, like travel out, find somewhere else to stay and leave this goddamn place.”Scarlet heaved deeply, rolling her eyes tiredly, “You see Peter, it won't be that easy. I have to work in my father's company. I can't just leave it, they need me there.”“Scarlet, this is your mental health and security we are talking about here. I am worried, scarlet. I really do not want anything to happen to you.” Peter's voice trembled with concern as he grasped scarlet's hands fondly. Scarlet was short of words. Her gaze drifted into space, her eyes unfocused. She seemed to be meditating before responding, “I think you have a point. I will speak with uncle Thomas and grandpa too. And Lyssa...., well I hope she's gonna be okay with my decision.” Peter's grip on her hand tightened. He stared into her eyes with a deep intensity, “You mean a lot to me scarlet.”“You’ve been quite g

As they drove through the bustling city, the sounds of honking cars and chattering pedestrians filled the air. But inside the car, there was an uncomfortable silence between Scarlet and Peter.Scarlet stared out the window, watching the cityscape blur by. She couldn't help but think about Lucas and the way he'd looked at her when she ended things. The pain and hurt in his eyes still lingered in her mind.Peter, on the other hand, seemed lost in thought, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. Scarlet couldn't help but steal glances at him, noticing the way his hair curled slightly at the nape of his neck, or the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he concentrated.The silence between them grew thicker, until Scarlet couldn't take it anymore. "Peter?" she said softly, breaking the silence.He turned to her, his eyes locking onto hers. "Yeah?" he replied, his voice low and husky.Scarlet felt a flutter in her chest, but she pushed it aside. “About earlier…what did you really wanted to s

As Maria watched Racheal walk away, a sinister smile spread across her face. She leaned back in her chair, steepling her fingers together as she thought about the conversation they had just had."Ah, Racheal," Maria thought to herself, "you have no idea what's coming for you. You're so caught up in trying to control Lucas's life, but you're about to find out what it means to be truly controlled."Maria's smile grew wider as she thought about the leverage she had over Racheal. The videos, the bail money, it was all just the beginning. She had a plan, and it was going to play out perfectly.Meanwhile, Racheal walked out of the police station, her mind reeling with thoughts of how she was going to come up with the money to bail Maria out. She felt trapped, like she was being pulled in too many directions at once.As she walked into her house, she was greeted by Chloe, who was sitting on the couch reading a book. Chloe looked up and saw the look on Racheal's face, and her expression chang

Scarlet's voice cracked as she explained the situation to Trump and Lyssa, her eyes welling up with tears. "It's...it's a blackmail message. Someone has a photo of me and Peter, and they're threatening to send it to everyone unless I pay them 1 million dollars." Her words tumbled out in a panicked rush, her fear and anxiety obvious.Trump's face darkened, his eyes flashing with anger and concern. "Show me," he said, his voice firm and reassuring. He took the phone from Scarlet's trembling hands, his expression growing grimmer as he examined the message and photo.Lyssa's eyes widened in shock and outrage as she saw the image. "How dare they!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with rage. "We'll never let them get away with this, Scar. We'll fight them tooth and nail."Scarlet felt a wave of desperation wash over her. "What if they really send it out? What if everyone sees it? My career will be ruined." She buried her face in her hands, her body shaking with sobs.Trump pulled her into
