My billionaire ex-husband wants me back Chapter 41
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

Lucas POVHe barged into the house, aiming straight for his mother's room.“Lucas, you don't look too good. And what's up with the angry expression?” Chloe emerged, rushing towards his side.“Mother really has a lot of explanations to do. I went to the restaurant to meet scarlet, I thought we were finally going to be together,” He sniffed and wiped the sweat off his forehead. “I thought she was finally going to say those words I was eager to hear but instead,” his voice broke and trembled with emotions, choking on his tears, “She told me it was over, we can't be together anymore.”Chloe's eyes twitched, her lips slightly part open in a bid to talk but the words only got stuck in her throat. Placing a hand on his shoulder, she turned to face him, a sober expression written all over her face, “That's so painful to hear, Lucas. But you can't blame her too, you know.” Lucas glared at her, wondering where she was headed with her words.Chloe took a seat and stared at Lucas, her eyes moist

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

Lucas POVLucas sat in the dimly lit room, surrounded by the shadows of his past. His mind was a jumble of emotions, thoughts, and memories. He couldn't help but think about Scarlet, about them, about what could have been.His thoughts drifted to the way she used to smile at him, the way her eyes sparkled when she laughed. He thought about the way she used to touch him, the way her skin felt against his.But most of all, he thought about the way she had walked away from him. The way she had ended things between them, without even giving him a chance to fight for them.He felt a pang of anger and hurt, but it was quickly replaced by a sense of sadness and loss. He realized that he had lost her, that she was gone and he would never get her back.As he sat there, lost in his thoughts, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. It was his mother, Racheal. She sat down beside him, putting a gentle hand on his shoulder.“Lucas, you need to stop worrying over scarlet. She has moved on, loo

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 POVScarlet sat on her bed, surrounded by open suitcases and piles of clothes, as her sister Lyssa helped her pack for her upcoming trip. The two sisters chatted and laughed as they worked, their conversation flowing easily."I'm so excited for you, Scar," Lyssa said, folding a dress and placing it in the suitcase. "This is exactly what you need - a fresh start in a new place."Scarlet nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. She knew Lyssa was right, she indeed needed that relocation. "I know, I'm really looking forward to it. I feel like I've been stuck in a rut lately, and this is the perfect opportunity to start over."Lyssa smiled faintly, staring at her sister with tear filled eyes. "You're going to love it there. You'll make new friends, find new hobbies, and start a new life. You'll be so much happier without the drama of Lucas and his family."Scarlet's expression turned serious. "I'm especially looking forward to getting away from Maria. She's always been s

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

“We will need to find out who's behind those photos, I can count on you to expose the person.” Peter reclined on the desk staring at the computer in front of him. He had confided in his friend earlier about the photos that were sent to scarlet. Being a hacker, he trusted Carl to be able to do his job well.“But why would someone do a thing like that? Is obvious these are edited photos. Is there someone you think about ... .like can go such length to tarnish scarlet's reputation?” Carl asked, staring at the photos.Peter took his hands off the desk and walked towards the window staring outside. He ran his hands through his hair, shaking his head gently. It had been a rollercoaster since he got to know scarlet and the only person who had been a pain in the neck was lucas. “I can only suspect her ex-husband but why will he stoop so low? And also to demand money from her? Nahhh, l will rule him out.”“No problem then. I'll get to work and let you know about the development.”…..It's bee

“Mom! What the hell is happening here? Why is this wretch with you?”Racheal squared her shoulder, staring at Lucas, “Well, I bailed her out. What's wrong with that? It's not like she committed any crime?”“Mom!!!” “Lucas, please. I introduced you to Maria right? Then let me handle this. And as for you,” she said, turning to scarlet. “You've caused me enough trouble already and I can not bear it anymore. Stay away from my life and my family.”“If there's anyone to stay away from this family, it's Maria, not scarlet.” Chloe fumed, her eyes blazing with anger.“So you're finally with them? You're taking sides with Scarlet?” “Mother! Scarlet has done nothing wrong. We were being so unfair to her. Have you forgotten so soon how Maria has been stealing from us? I can't believe you still want her around.”“You little brat. You'll do well to keep your mouth shut and keep my name out of your mouth.”“And what if I don't?”Chloe sneered, walking closer towards her. “Are you mad that I called
