Scarlet’s POV~

McKenzie's expression changed from curiosity to concern. Her brows creased slightly as she reflected on what I had said.

“Why do you want to compensate them?” She asked in a gentle tone, her voice laced with curiosity.

“They didn't exactly treat you with kindness. Why would you want to reward them for that?”

I gave her hand a gentle squeeze, trying to keep my smile from faltering. “I just want to show them that I've risen above their cruelty. I want to prove to myself that I'm not bitter, that I can let go, plus…”

I paused, nibbling at my lower lips with a thick silence enveloping us.

“Let's just see it as a way of settling them and closing a chapter in my life,”

McKenzie exhaled deeply, her shoulders sagging. Reaching for my cheeks, she gave it a gentle stroke and said, “I’m just worried that they might open old wounds and create more problems for you, my dear,”

Shaking my head, I countered politely, “No, granny. They won't. I just want to give them this last honor and

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 88. Abducted.

    Author's POV~>>As the driver took the wrong route, Scarlett felt nervous, panic creeping in with her conscience at high alert. Beads of sweat trickled down her spine, her heart rate intensifying as she gazed into the driver's piercing eyes through the rearview mirror. Her breath caught in her throat when his eyes locked with hers, a hint of mischief in them. Her blood ran cold as a mixture of fear and uncertainty washed over her. She fiddled with her trembling fingers, knowing full well that he was up to something sinister and she had taken the wrong cab. At this moment, she wished she had just accepted Alaric's offer. If she were with him in his car, she'd be rest assured, knowing he'd drop her off at her mansion unlike being in a stranger's cab where she wouldn't have a clue who was behind the wheels.Her safety was more important than some gossip or speculation about her personal life. She felt she should have prioritised her own wellbeing over the fear of what others might say.

    Scarlett's POV ~My eyes were heavy with tears as I drove back home that night. After seeing Eric at the hospital, I couldn't deny the weight of emotions settling on me. I felt glad about his recovery but I felt even more sad because he had no clue who I was. Everything he sees me, I feel something break in my heart because most times, it seemed as if he was struggling to understand my connection to Ethan and Jasmine. His little brain has been wired to believe that Jasmine was his biological mother. I'm more like a stranger to him and he doesn't have that bond, or connection with me. But I do. I've always thought about him, holding him dearly to my heart and yearning for that moment to cuddle him with smiles on my face.Right now, I feel empty, sad, and bitter. Not only do I feel bad about my loss of connection with Eric but Dylan's deception has left me feeling betrayed and hurt, making me question everything. The loss of being with my son is devastating but the betrayal cuts deeper.

    Ethan's POV~Silence ensued for a while. I breathed deeply as I glanced at Jasmine, expecting her to chime in, but all she did was watch me expectantly with raised brows, trying to pass a message to me.Her mom's lips curled upwards, eyes filled with curiosity as she flicked her gaze between us. Her husband, Mr Montes, cleared his throat, breaking the silence that had ensued. His gaze intensified on me, as if sensing how uneasy I was. Some maids roamed around, carrying out their busy schedule. Two maids in crisp black ironed dresses approached us with a tray of refreshments.One bent and dropped the tray on the table with a soft thud. I looked down at the palatable meal but sadly, I didn't have any appetite.I raised my head to meet Jasmine's father's gaze once again. He nodded, still keeping that forced smile on his eager face, trying to look enthusiastic but deep down, I could tell that he was worried about my commitment to his daughter.Jasmine's father held me in high regards.

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 85. Wedding Plans

    Ethan's POV~I took in a deep breath, her words settling like a heavy weight on my shoulders. The truth was, I wasn't ready to marry Jasmine. I've been having thoughts of canceling our plans for a wedding but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, not after all the promises and expectations from our families. I could recall the last outing my mom went with her friends. They'd asked about me and Jasmine and out of excitement, my mom revealed my plans to get married in the coming months. Their questions were unexpected but what was more frustrating was my mom spilling out everything with confidence, without even waiting for me to reply. Jasmine stepped towards me and slid her hands around my waist. With her head on my chest, she breathed deeply, loving the comfort of being in my arms and the steady beat of my heart. We remained in that position for what felt like a minute, her thoughts filled with hopes about our wedding while mine was a jumbled mess, conflicted by several emotions..

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 84.~. The Weight Of Expectations

    Ethan's POV~Janine's face twisted into confusion, a quizzical expression on her face. She took a step further, and scanned the faces of everyone outside– reporters, paparazzis and curious onlookers– demanding answers about what had drawn them to this spot and the drama that must have unfolded. The camera clicks at my face from a distance but I snapped my gaze from it, uninterested. This wasn't the time for attention. I had more important things to do than posing for cameras. Besides, I see no reason they should take pictures of me since all they wanted was some juicy information from the scene that was unfolding. Scarlett glanced in Dylan's direction before meeting my gaze. Her eyes narrowed as she stared at my grip on her wrist. When she sensed Jasmine's presence, she yanked her hands from my grip and took a step back.“What are you doing with my husband?” Jasmine asked, her voice filled with disdain. Scarlett’s eyes were red-rimmed from unshed tears after a harsh conversation with

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 83.~. Mixed Reactions

    Ethan's POV~The sharp scent of disinfectant hung heavily in the air. The ticking clock echoed through the waiting room, a relentless reminder of a passing moment. My expression remained tensed, my breath heavy as I paced the room, a line of worry on my forehead. Eric was still undergoing his surgery and I couldn't help but feel a mixture of anxiety and hope. My heart raced and I let out a deep breath, praying for a successful outcome and a speedy recovery. The silence was heavy, making it hard to breathe. All I needed was news and updates about the surgery. Are they done? How is Eric? Is he fine? Several questions crossed my mind and I could feel every fear threatening to consume me. I walked to the door, crossed my arms and bit my lower lips, my anxiety going through the roof. And then, my thoughts drifted towards Scarlett. It's almost forty minutes and I haven't seen her. She left the waiting room a few minutes ago but I have no clue where she could be? This is unlike her. She can
