The Brooklyn Residence

"It's Nicolas!" Scarlet cried breathlessly, and she tearfully watches her mother shift from her.

Scarlet wasn't sure if Nicolas was the one who impregnate her, but she had queer feelings in her heart that he was the one responsible.

After all, he was the first person to have sexual intercourse with her, so it was evident.

And besides, there was no way she'd tell her family that she was sexually fucked by two guys, that would be degrading of her.

Everyone was confused and imprecise, who was Nicolas?

"Who is he?" Mr. Petersburg frowned, asking Scarlet energetically.

"I know he's gonna be one of those useless losers in the streets, dad," Sally chuckled mockingly.

Mrs. Petersburg glared at Scarlet, saying, "Sally you are right, he is undoubtedly a son of a nobody."

Scarlet gulped drily, her heart stung, she was pained and saddened at the sneering words radiating from the people, she called her family.

"N-Nicolas Brooklyn!" She shakily disclosed.

What!

Saying that aloud, the ambiance in the room started to burn and suffocate invasively.

Time stopped.

Everyone's mouths were wide open in shock, their eyes augmented at Scarlet in disbelief.

"W-what did you just say?" Mrs. Petersburg freaked out unbelievably.

While Mr. Petersburg sprang from his sofa as if his butt was on fire, now hovering murderously on Scarlet and she cowered fearfully backward.

"That's impossible!" Sally gritted, shaken up on her feet and her eyes dilated incredulously.

Who doesn't know Nicolas Brooklyn?

He is the only son of the billionaire tycoon, Mr. Austin Brooklyn!

The wealthiest man in the country, he owned a lot of companies and establishments around the world. He is like a small god on earth, his fortune is beyond belief and not only was he affluent —but he was greatly feared by everyone.

He is a man not to be hashed of, and he is cruel and ill-tempered. Going to his domain is like stepping into the devil's lair on death's will.

How did Scarlet come in touch with his son?

Sally was struggling not to believe Scarlet words, but she knew truthfully in her mind that Scarlet has never lied before. But yet, disclosing that Nicolas impregnated her is an unimaginable reality!

Sally folded her hands tightly in irritation, she had always loved Nicolas. All through her life, he was the only man her heart beats for, and she was hoping her dad would use one of his connections to make her meet Nicolas someday.

Sally seethed with spite, "How dare you to lie against a man you have never met before!"

"I'm not lying," Scarlet coughed tiredly, her belly still hurting as she hugged her abdomen.

"Shut up!" Mrs. Petersburg screamed at Scarlet, and she roared. "It's undeniable that you are lying and only trying to staple the pregnancy on someone you have never met before."

"Mom, believe me, I am...

"Do you know the absurdity that you just spout out, Scarlet?" Mr. Petersburg aggressively threw in, "Answer me, will you bear the consequences of your actions if we are to take you to the Brooklyn home?"

Sally knew on this verge that Scarlet would eventually open up the truth, and tell them all that Nicolas didn't impregnate her.

Seriously, if the Brooklyn family hears of this, they won't take this scandal lightly with them. This was a mind-blogging situation.

"I'm saying the truth dad," Scarlet hiccups, crying emotionally, "I am telling you'll the truth, I have no reason to lie, do I?" She shed more tears.

An intense silence engulfs the room, this was a critical situation that shouldn't be taken lightly.

Meeting the Brooklyn family wasn't a problem but the outcome of their visitation might be disastrous for them.

Scarlet curled herself up in a corner, sadly weeping and wishing undone that she had allowed herself to be drunk.

If only she wasn't tipsy and wild that fateful night, all this chaos won't have been happening right now.

After a long deliberating silence, Mr. Petersburg said in a deep voice.

"We are going to the Brooklyn residence!"

"What?" Sally was stunned, "You want us to go there? In a pig eye!" She scoffed.

Scarlet heart quickened, and adrenaline flooded through her veins as she started to feel restless.

"That's the only way we would know if she's telling us the truth or not," Mr. Petersburg groused.

"Hmph! Just have this stick into your mind that if you are confirmed to be wrong, Scarlet. Then regard yourself disowned from this family, do you hear me?" Mrs. Petersburg resentfully grimaced.

"I hope he doesn't reject my baby," Scarlet sniffs back her running nose as she worried her lips.

"What did you say?" Mrs. Brooklyn furiously yelled as she sprang to her feet, glaring at the unwanted visitors in her residence.

She was an attractive brunette in her forties, arrayed in a lovely white jumpsuit, with her pricey high heels to match. Her aura bleeds out authority and vigor.

Scarlet even in her rough situation found the woman a replica resemblance to Nicolas. Same ocean blue eyes, the same pointed nose, and small lips.

"Mrs B-Brooklyn..." Mr. Petersburg attempt to speak but he quieted in fear when he noticed Mr. Brooklyn's cold-blooded eyes on him.

A cold silence stepped in for a while, the atmosphere was strenuous.

"My son impregnated your daughter?" Mr. Brooklyn snarled as skims his eyes on them irritatingly.

"So she said, sir!" Sally said aloud as she pointed in a direction, and all eyes drove to Scarlet.

Scarlet heart skipped a beat as all searing eyes were on her, she was browbeaten and she felt the ground should swallow her whole up as she fidgets her fingers nervously.

For a second, she felt she shouldn't have it blurt out that Nicolas was the one who impregnated her. Hell, his parents are hellishly scary and intimidating.

Mrs. Brooklyn laughs, her voice looming in the air as she started to mock, "Really? My son impregnated a lowlife girl like you, huh?"

Scarlet lowered her face in shame, the corner of her eyes starting to grope water as she bite her lips hard to stop herself until she tasted blood.

"For your information young lady, my son won't stoop low for a bitch like you! I know him very well like the back of my hand, I am his mother and I know the kind of ladies he goes after. So, it would be very wise for you to pick your ugly self up and leave this residence, now stand up!" she shouted raucously.

Everyone terrifyingly flinched at Mrs. Brookyn's bite except her husband who sat majestically, watching his wife take the case into her hands.

Scarlet jerked up from the ravishing white couch, she was shedding tears already as she hurriedly cleaned her face but her tears won't stop plunging heavily.

"Belive me, ma'am, I'm not lying." She cried tearfully with broken heart. "If you don't believe then call out your son and he will tell you the truth."

Everyone was shocked at Scarlet's bold words, and this made Mr. Brooklyn hot under the collar.

He menacingly roared. "How dare you speak of my son in such a manner you worthless girl, have you no shame at all?"

His grim voice petrifies the bejesus out of Scarlet, and she found herself shaking frighteningly.

How she wished that Nicolas would come down the stairs, maybe then, they will believe her that he was truly the one responsible.

"I have had enough, it's apparent you all are gold diggers so I will ask now that I am being kind, take your useless cheap selves out of my house right now or I will ask the guards to throw you instead," Mrs. Brooklyn rudely warned.

Immediately, Mr. and Mrs. Petersburg, Sally, and Scarlet took to their heels as they scurried out of the house as if they were chased by fire.

Before leaving, Mrs. Brooklyn made a clear statement to Scarlet, she sounded scornful and arrogant.

"My son is out of the country to meet his engaged wife-to-be, she is a lady who was born of self-dignity. Unlike you who have no control of that hole in between your thighs, now take that bastard baby in your flirty womb and never come back here again or I will have the cops arrest you and that isn't a threat, it's a promise!"

Scarlet was down in dumps, Nicolas was engaged to another woman?

This revelation made her feel shattered, and for a moment she felt betrayed by him.

Scarlet switched into becoming angry, not only did he backstab her but his mother insulted her to the threshold by calling her a whore.

She even called her baby a bastard.

Scarlet was no longer sad but infuriated this time around as she struggled not to flare up, that would worsen the case and she wouldn't want that.

"Ah!" Scarlet cried as a hand grabbed her hair roughly when they were out of the residence gate.

"Father please!" She begged helplessly as the man tortured her.

"Because of you, I was disgraced like never before, you witch!" Mr. Petersburg heaped his vexation on her and he didn't even mind if she was pregnant.

"I knew that this girl will bring nothing but disgrace to us, that's why I was against us coming here in the first place!" Sally said out of bitterness.

She felt that Scarler has ruined their family rapport with the Brooklyn household, now there was never going to be an opportunity for her to be with Nicolas.

And with this realization, her hatred for Scarlet heightened into a million abhorrence.

Scarlet sniffed miserably, at this point, there was nothing to be ashamed of as she said. "Nicolas wasn't the only one who impregnated me, Harry his best friend was also behind my pregnancy."

What?
