Author's POV ~

As George's gaze lingered on Scarlett, Dylan felt a growing sense of discomfort. There was something in George's eyes, a spark of mischief that made him uneasy. He didn't trust George, not one bit. The thought of George being around Scarlett, potentially revealing his secret, made his skin crawl.

"Let's get going," Dylan said abruptly, his tone a little too harsh. "We have a lot to do today, George." He turned to Scarlett, his expression softening. "We should get going too, babe. The kids are going to love these toys."

Scarlett nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Yeah, let's go. I'm starving. How about we grab some lunch on the way home?"

As they bid George a brief goodbye, Dylan couldn't shake off the feeling that George was watching them, his eyes fixed on Scarlett with an intensity that made him squirm. He quickened his pace, ushering Scarlett towards the car, his mind racing with worst-case scenarios.

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 148. Maria's guilt

    Author's POV The name landed between them like a stone dropped into still water. Maria’s chest tightened, though she didn’t flinch. She had always known Scarlett was a shadow in Ethan’s life, his ex-wife, the mother of his son, the woman whose history with him could never be erased.He continued, his words tumbling now as though once the dam had cracked he couldn’t stop the flow.“Eric called me earlier. He was excited, talking about how tomorrow Scarlett’s grandmother is going to tell him stories about their family. And you know what? I was glad, actually glad, that he was connecting with that side of his roots. I want that for him. I want him to know where he comes from. I thought, ‘Good. That’s a beautiful thing.’”Maria nodded slowly, her eyes never leaving his face.“But then…” Ethan swallowed hard. His jaw tightened again. “Then I heard Dylan’s voice in the background.”“Dylan?” Maria repeated quietly.“Yeah. Dylan.” His tone was sharp, bitter. “Talking to Scarlett. Sweet. Flir

    Author's POV~Ethan woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside his window. He stretched his arms and yawned, feeling the fatigue of the previous day's activities still lingering in his body. After getting dressed, he headed downstairs to the kitchen, his stomach growling with anticipation of a hearty breakfast.As he entered the kitchen, he was greeted by the warm smile of Maria, the middle-aged maid who had been working for his family for years. She was busy preparing breakfast, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon filling the air."Good morning, Ethan," Maria said, placing a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast in front of him. "I made your favorite breakfast."Ethan smiled, his eyes scanning the plate appreciatively. "Thanks, Maria. You always know how to start my day off right."As he began to eat, he noticed that Jasmine wasn't around. He looked up at Maria, a hint of concern in his voice. "Where's Jasmine?"Maria's expression turned neutral, but Ethan c

    Author's POV ~ Dylan stormed out of the empty convenience store, his face flushed with embarrassment and fury. He couldn't believe what he'd just done. He felt trapped, vulnerable and frustrated. Hilary had him under the wraps of her fingers and now, he found it harder to leave her. The fluorescent lights overhead seemed to hum in sync with his frustration. He straightened himself and managed to hide his emotions..he didn't want Scarlett to suspect a thing.The bright sunlight outside was a harsh contrast to the dimly lit store, and he squinted, raising a hand to shield his eyes. He took a deep breath, the scent of fresh asphalt and exhaust fumes filling his lungs as he scanned the crowded parking lot. His eyes landed on the mall entrance, and he made his way towards it with purposeful strides. As he entered the mall, the air-conditioned chill enveloped him, a welcome respite from the sweltering heat outside. He spotted Scarlett standing by a cart piled high with color

    Author's POV ~“Hilary, look. What happened last night was a mistake. It was never my intention to sleep with you. I never wanted to have anything to do with you but you invited me over just so you could stir things up between us, Hilary!” Dylan yelled, his voice filled with rage. Hilary snickered, and shook her head, her eyes flashing with amusement. “What did you just say? That I invited you over in a bid to stir things between us? What makes you say that?” Jasmine asked, feigning innocence.Dylan's brows furrowed and his face darkened as her words fueled more rage in him. He took a step towards Jasmine and pushed her to the wall, “Don't try to play games with me. You and I know that was what you wanted.”“Are you accusing me of stirring things up between us? Wait. Don't tell me you're angry because you slept with me.”“I'm angry because you keep coming between me and Scarlett! And now you've just revealed that you have access to my WhatsApp messages. Obsessive urge?”“Aren't you

    Author's POV ~Dylan turned to Scarlett and thought of a distraction. “Urm. Scarlett. I had a call just now. An old friend of mine is in this area and he wants me to see him somewhere, urm….”“Go. You're free to go, Dylan. Since it's a friend I'm sure he wants to see you for something important. I'll be right here shopping and getting items for the kids. You can always come back to meet me here.”“Thanks for understanding, sweetheart.” Dylan mumbled as he planted a kiss on her forehead.Scarlett smiled as she watched him scurry out of the mall. She knew he was going to see no friend but Hilary.Dylan raced down the street and picked the call.“What the fuck is wrong with you, Hilary? What do you want?” “Meet me at the convenience store down the road. I have something to discuss with you.” “What is it? Can't you fucking say it here?” Dylan growled in frustration.“Meet me there. I'll be waiting for you.”“You're really getting on my nerves, Hilary. You're fucking messing up with me.”
