*THE PETERSBURG FAMILY*Sally got dressed early in the morning, feeling anxious about the day. She knew she had to start her plans and put them into action. First, she has Scarlet’s two children with her, Stacy and Natasha. And as for Taylor, Draco reported to her that he is unconscious and in coma. “I will have to kill him, I want to take every source of happiness from Scarlet before aiming at her.” She had been planning this for days, and her heart was pounding. Hence, Sally hailed a taxi to the hospital.As she rode in the backseat of the taxi, Sally's mind raced with thoughts of the boy's illness. She learned that he was Scarlet's favorite child, and she felt a pang of envy as she thought about the bond they shared.If only Scarlet knew she had a third child! Finally, the taxi pulled up to the hospital. Sally stepped out onto the sidewalk and made her way to the entrance. Entering inside, she asked the receptionist for the room number."Room 307," the receptionist said,
*THE HERITAGE—POLICE STATION* Harry sat on his bunk bed in the dimly lit jail cell, his cousin Jade sitting across from him. They spoke in hushed tones, careful not to attract the attention of the guards."Jade, I need your help," Harry said, desperation was evident in his voice."What do you need, Harry?" Jade replied, concern inscribed on his face."I need you to get me out of here, without anyone knowing. Not even the cops," Harry begged him.Jade's eyes widened in surprise. "Harry, I can't just break you out of jail. That's crazy. You need to serve your time and face the consequences of your actions." he said. "I know, I know. But you don't understand what it's like in here. It's a living hell. I can't take it anymore," Harry replied, his voice breaking.Jade sighed. He knew Harry was in a bad place, both physically and mentally. He didn't want to see his cousin suffer, but he also didn't want to risk getting in trouble himself."I'll see what I can do, Harry. But I can't make
*THE CITY—HOSPITAL* Scarlet slowly opened her eyes, feeling a dull ache in her head. She blinked a few times, attempting to focus on her surroundings, and then she realized she was in a hospital room.Confused and extremely disoriented, Scarlet tried to sit up, but her body felt weak and sore. She groaned, falling back against the pillow, and tried to remember how she got there.As if on cue, Nicolas walked in, holding a tray of food. When he saw Scarlet's eyes open, he hurried over to her, setting the tray on the bedside table."Hey, you're awake," he said, his voice gentle and worried. "How are you feeling right now?"Scarlet scowled, still trying to process everything as she looked at him. “What happened? Why am I in the hospital?"Nicolas sat down next to her, taking her hand in his. “Love, do you remember anything?"Scarlet shook her head negatively, “No, everything is a blur."Nicolas took a deep breath, his eyes full of emotion. "There was an explosion, Scarlet. Sally kid
*THE—CITY HOSPITAL* Scarlet's heart raced as she stepped out of the hospital. She was finally discharged, and after weeks of being cooped up in a hospital room, she was relieved to be out in the fresh air. Just as she sauntered towards the doctor's office, she felt a twinge of pain in her chest, a reminder of the accident that had landed her in the hospital in the first place.“Sally!” She folded her hands at the thought of her. Meanwhile, Nicolas was waiting for her outside the office, his face a mix of relief and concern. “How are you feeling?" he questioned her as he gave her a hug."I'm okay, baby,” Scarlet said, trying to sound more confident than she felt. "What did the doctor say?""He said you need to take it easy for a few days, but you should be fine." Nicolas took her hand and led her toward the other ward. “Where are we going to?” Scarlet asked him. “Let's go see your grandma," he replied. “What about Taylor?” Scarlet asked, she hadn't had the time to check up on h
*NICOLAS’s—ESTATE, THREE WEEKS LATER* The sun had set and the moon was high in the sky as Nicolas played with his two daughters, Natasha and Stacy. They were giggling and running around, their childish laughter filling the room with joy.Scarlet emerged from their bedroom, decked out in a stunning black dress that hugged her curves perfectly and showed all her flawlessness. Nicolas's eyes widened as he looked her up and down, his heart beating faster at the sight of her."Wow," he said, his voice filled with awe. "You look absolutely stunning, my love."Scarlet smiled, feeling her cheeks flush with pleasure.“Thank you," she said, twirling around in front of him. "I wanted to look nice for Grandma's reunion party."Nicolas grinned, his eyes still fixed on her. "Well, you definitely succeeded. I'm a lucky man to have such a beautiful wife."Scarlet blushed again, feeling a surge of love for Nicolas. She leaned in to kiss him but was interrupted by the sound of their daughters' laug
♣️♣️♣️♣️♣️♣️♣️ "Scarlett, get your fucking ass down here!" Mrs. Petersburg furiously shouted, she was standing down the long stairs. In five seconds, Scarlett drifted out of her room in a swift, running down the treads like a spooked cat. "Yes, mother!" Scarlett answered timidly when she reached out to her mother. She knew she was in trouble with the vicious look on her mother's face; there is no doubt that her younger sister must have lied to her again. Nonetheless, Scarlett's face was welcomed with a dirty reverberating slap! "Arg! Mother!" Scarlett shrieked painfully, and her knees dropped to the floor. She clamp her burning cheek with her palm, brushing the red spot as she tried to numb the pain."Oh, mother... Why did you have to hit her, huh?" A voice gloomily said behind Mrs. Petersburg, it was her second daughter, Sally.She was sounding sad and depressing. But hell, she wasn't feeling awful and Scarlett knew that in her mind that Sally was making jest of her. "Sally,"
“Wait!”Scarlett let out a scream, losing her balance on the railing. Not knowing that someone had been the whole time watching her and hearing the sudden voice, she was startled and soon enough, she felt herself free falling into the ocean. She was going to die, after all, she was eventually getting what she wanted, but why did a pang of regret linger in her heart?Scarlett squeezed her eyes shut, preparing herself for the impact of the cold water and the feel of drowning, but none of that happened, and confused, she peeled one eye open to take a peek.Did she grow wings and start to fly?Her gaze met the view of two big veiny hands holding onto her own. Wide-eyed and utterly befuddled, her eyes trailed up the hand, to muscled arms, to biceps straining through clothing, to broad shoulders hunched from his position, and finally to a masculine face and piercing _ocean blue_ eyes.Not aware of her gaping state, Scarlett continued to stare at the man, half of his face shadowed by the str
"Do you know the darkness that you are asking for?" Nicholas asked coldly, gazing darkly at the lady as she pulls up from the bed and stood sexily in front of him. Right under his thick black brows, she slowly unclad her dress one by one. "I know what I'm asking for." She whispers in her angelic voice, now taking two steps near to him in her divine nakedness.Placing her shaky hands on his broad chest, she could almost feel his chest rumble in reaction. Scarlet knew she was intemperate but she still have her sense of reasoning, although the liquor she devoured was overwhelming her. "I think you need to take a doze,” Nicholas rasped at her, he was fighting back the impulse in him to take her as his monster which was in between his legs magnify with each second pass by. "I can't take advantage of you." "You ain't asking me for it, but I am." She hums, traveling her hands down to his zip and she rips his pants down. Nicholas waved his head in refusal, he was always good at battling
