Scarlett's POV
*Days ago
I woke up that morning to see Luke still laying in bed. I smiled to myself and kissed him on his lips, slightly. He smiled back at me in his sleep and turned to the other side of the bed.
"How are you?" I asked him, whispering, kissing him again and he dragged me to himself where we stayed for sometime. We finally got entangled and drifted to our sleep again in each other's arms. It was finally dawn and Luke left for work, I was left at home, alone. Mother had called saying she will come over to my house to see me that weekend. I was happy to hear from her and anticipated her arrival and prepared ingredients for her favourite dish.
However, things changed when I came across the unbelievable.

The same afternoon, I sat on the couch in our living room, watching my favourite television program when the power supply got disconnected. There was l

I can say Ethan is the best husband ever, I do not love him yet and yet he treats me so well. Almost like a queen.Our honeymoon was an adventure, a great one at that. We didn't get to do anything under the duvet but yet, I can proudly say I enjoyed every bit of it. The discussions in bed, television programs and outings all through the days of our honeymoon. Ethan had walked back into the house on a Saturday with packs of dresses for me."Why did you do this?" I had questioned him and he smiled at me, calling me a local woman. It sounded very funny and true because I knew almost nothing about being romantic. I always knew something about romance, but not after my experience with my ex fiance, Luke. I thanked him profusely that nigh

Amelia's POVEthan left for work this morning, saying he has a meeting with Mr. Robert and the other men whose names I was not aware of. I woke up just now and I saw that there were plenty of notifications on my phone. Most of the updates are still from the wedding held at the court about a month ago.I checked my inbox to see a text from my sister and I was angry. I was annoyed at her guts and effrontery to still send a text to me after all she has done to me. She had sent me a text and friend request on Facebook about last week and I declined the request, ignoring her text.Now, what? She thinks she can walk into my life again to gain my trust after stabbing me at my back. "Hi, Amy," the content read, the same thing she had sent last week. I was frustrated and I ignored her messages again, walking to the bathroom to empty my bladder. Pamela walked into the room at the noise of the tap running, askin

Carl's POVI watched the news unfold right before my eyes. What does this mean? I ask myself, looking at the screen of Scarlett's phone. Tessa had left for the kitchen sometime ago to get a smoothie for herself and juice for me when I heard a car pull up at my parking lot. I got up to look through the window and know the right move just in case we are being attacked.We still owe a certain amount to the organization we took a loan from and they have threatened that we complete the payment soon before the unspeakable is done. It was a relief seeing Scarlett walk into the house and I came to her for a quick hug when she avoided me, shoving her phone into my right hand."Scarlett," I called her before staring at the phone. Whatever had made her avoid my hug has gotten to be a serious matter. I looked at the screen of her phone, seeing my younger daughter's picture. She is tagged as married and her husban

Carl's POVI called Luke several times because of the rest of our deal. He complained of how broke he was at the moment, asking we give him some time to process the payment. My wife and I were left with no other choice but to visit Amelia at her new place and see if we could talk to her about lending some money to me with the promise to pay back whenever Luke makes the rest of the payment.Tessa finally had her way and has convinced me into taking a drastic decision. We had our bath early this morning, mapping out the address of the great Ethan Blackwood on the internet. We finished in less than four hours since we woke up from sleep and we left the house in our car. I did the driving and Tessa sat at the back of the car. We still have issues to settle, I had refused her to follow me to Amelia's new home, but then she always wants to have her way so I let her.We stopped at the gate leading out of the estat

Carl's POVI looked at the screen of my phone again, ensuring I wasn't imagining things. The statement from the bank stood at the screen of my phone in block letters. I was fazed and speechless.I received the same message three more times showing the money I needed has been provided. I saw my In-law's name as the sender and I didn't have to be told twice, it was Luke's handiwork.Tessa's eyes were already peering into my skin, I said nothing to her and closed my mouth, finally. If only I knew this would happen, I would not have gone to Amelia house to embarrass myself like that."What is it, Carl?" Tessa asked and I looked up to see her face. She looked scared and her eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. "The organization?" She asked and I heard her voice shake."I was credited, Luke credited me," I said and she screamed in excitement. "We

I screamed in excitement, smiling and hugging her briefly."Ma'am," she called, walking before me and I looked at her from behind. We got into the house and I gave her some time to arrange the stuff she had brought with her from her mother's house."How is she?" I asked the minute she walked into my room from dropping her small backpack in her room."She sent her greetings," she said in response. We had a little conversation, moved to the kitchen when I heard a car honk its horn at the gate. I paused, waiting for the gateman to open the gate, but he did not.Instead, he opened the normal gate meant for walking through and I heard tiny voices because I was not close to the gate to know who spoke. I had expec

Luke's POVThe past few weeks have been an hectic one. The huge sum of money that left my account, coupled with the news of Amelia's wedding flying all over the country.I thought Scarlett made a joke about it until I saw for myself on the screen of my own phone. "What is this?" I asked the already shaking woman seated on the bed. She shook almost violently and I was scared she would go mad."It's not over, baby," I pleaded, holding her all through the night.Carl's call came in on my phone all through the week, demanding for the rest of his payment."I was choked," he said to me and I understood what he meant so well. I, on the other hand, had nothing on me as at the time he called. I was on the verge of taking a loan from the man I work for.Tessa played her own role as a wife by calling on behalf of her husband.

"I understand," the elderly man said, "I am only looking out for you, some thieves have their eyes on this property," he explained, pointing his hand to the floor for emphasis."Thank you," I greeted, controlling my emotions that would burst the next moment. "She is your wife, it is her priority to give you a child," Robert chipped in. "A male child to take over the company after your demise." I looked at him, "thank you, Robert," I said, rather than saying what
