All Chapters of SCARLETT THE LAST FERROMANCER : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Scarlett povThe morning breeze rushed through my window, rattling the glasses and creating a cacophony of sounds that made it impossible for me to focus. My mind felt jumbled, and I tossed and turned on my pillow, clutching it tightly as the familiar scent enveloped me. I squint one eye open to sneak a glance at the clock.“What the heck!” I exclaimed, leaping out of bed with my heart pounding in my chest. I was already running late. Normally, I wouldn’t care about what the store owner thought, but Marian had a knack for inserting herself into my life. Just as I was lost in thoughts of her, I heard her voice echoing from the hallway.“Scarlett! Are you ready? It’s timeee…” she called out, stretching the word "time" for dramatic effect.If I had the luxury of time, I would have tackled the laundry piling up around me. The sight of dirty clothes scattered everywhere made me uneasy, and a wave of longing for my family washed over me. I felt a sense of discomfort as I slowly pulled a cha

The man from the store was following me, and I couldn't quite understand what was happening. An unsettling tension hung in the air, emanating a menacing energy from him.I stole a glance back before redirecting my attention to the driver. “Excuse me, sir, could you take me to your home?” I stressed the word "homeless" to clarify my predicament. I let out a heavy sigh, my eyes drifting back to the man who was now anxiously pacing in the adjacent lane.“Sorry, ma'am, can…” he stammered as I slipped into his car. I slammed the door behind me, catching a flash of fear on his face, but I brushed it off. “Can you start the car and drive, Mr.?” I said firmly, placing my hand on the driver's seat. I didn’t intend to intimidate him, but his expression revealed too much.“Alright, ma'am, I’ll take you to my house,” he replied with a calm demeanor, and I smiled back. “Good, let’s go,” I commanded, a wave of anxiety washing over me as I glanced in the side mirror to check on the man.“Wait! Wh

Scarlett povThe sunlight streamed through the window, flooding my eyes with a warm yellow glow. I slowly opened my eyes, using my elbow to rub the sleep away. A loud yawn escaped me as I struggled to free myself from the duvet. My eyes widened in disbelief when I noticed Katherine sprawled on top of Nyx on the couch. Had they really been like this since last night? I wondered, resting my arms on the mattress and frowning as I continued to stare at them.I scanned the area for a throw pillow when the sudden ringing of a phone broke the silence. My heart raced as I tried to process the chaos that the annoying phone had stirred. I peeked around for the source of the sound but couldn’t locate it. My hand accidentally brushed against something on the edge of the bedside table, sending a chill down my spine. What the hell! I quickly looked at what I had touched. Oh no, it was someone’s underwear. Did Nyx and Katherine really have sex, and did they carelessly toss their dirty laundry near

Scarlett povWhile I was still preoccupied with thoughts of the guy stalking me, Marian pushed the door open, her face puffy and red. I turned my gaze to her, noticing her obliviousness to the situation, though it was clear she had been crying for a while."Scarlett, how long have you known about Katherine's relationship with Nyx? I really want to know," she asked, her brows furrowed, her words coming out softly as if she were forcing them."Why are you being so harsh with me? You've been acting strange since last night. What's going on?" I inquired, concern etched on my face."Nothing, Scarlett. I just can't stand how close they are. Nyx being intimate with Katherine was never something I envisioned," she replied, tears streaming down her cheeks. I quickly moved to her side, wrapping my arms around her. A smile involuntarily appeared on my face, revealing my slip about Katherine and Nyx. I regretted mentioning it. I stayed calm, my mind racing with thoughts of what might have transp

Marcus pov“Hey Elana, have you heard from Scarlett? It's been ages, and she hasn't reached out to me.”“Don't call her that! You’re the one who stirred up all this trouble!” She snapped at me on the phone, and I couldn't even figure out why she was upset, especially since she’s Scarlett's closest friend. “What did I expect?” I shrugged, grabbing a bottle of wine from the cellar and pouring myself a glass, amused by how defensive Elena sounded.“What about Henry, my son?”“You should be asking Scarlett, not me. I look after the kid, but I can't give you any updates on Henry, got it?” She replied sharply, always acting like she’s protecting her friend. It was strange, almost animalistic.I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Elena's reaction. "Whoa, take it easy, Elena. I was just expressing concern for Scarlett and Henry." I took a sip of my wine, observing Elena's tense demeanor."Concerned? You’re concerned?" Elena's tone was laced with sarcasm. "You’re the reason Scarlett's gone silen
