Scarlett’s POV~

“You look beautiful, ma'am.” Nanny Rachel whispered, her eyes filled with admiration as she assessed me from head to toe. As I styled my hair, I stared at my reflection and walked to and fro, checking myself out from several angles, making sure I looked perfect for the date with Dylan and also suitable for cheering Emily at her inter house sport event.

I was drenched in perfume, a slight makeup on my face and my eyelashes felt heavy because of the false eyelashes I was wearing. My heels clacked on the polished tiles, my gaze fixed on my black dress with a statement jacket on it.

The silver dangling earrings and necklace I wore glimmered under the chandelier. I swung my silver bag over my shoulder, feeling a bit nervous.

This would be the first time I'd be going on a date with Dylan after accepting his proposal.

I felt a knot form in my stomach because I knew he had plans on fixing a date for the wedding.

“Everything looks great and perfect on you, ma'am,” Rachel mumbl

    Scarlett's POV~ My poor son has been sick and going through all of this since he was born and I had no clue. I felt a pang of guilt and helplessness, knowing my absence had impacted him.“Apart from that….” Ethan continued, and pressed his lips tightly, as if fumbling for the right words.My heart shattered completely. So there was more? Apart from the respiratory distress, there are more medical issues he's been battling.Oh, goodness.I feel guilty, I feel broken and helpless.“Scarlett, I -” Ethan tried to speak but I pinned him with a glare.“Tell me what other medical conditions he has now, Ethan. I don't want you hiding anything from me. If you don't tell me, I'll go over there and consult the doctor.”“Eric has a hole in his heart. The doctor had fixed a specific age requirement for his surgery. Also,”.“There's another one??” I asked, my eyes going wide with surprise.He hesitated, unable to speak as if my anger had shoved down the rest of the words in his throat.His eyes f

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 54. My son's true conditions

    Scarlett’s POV~The air was thick with silence as my question was heavy with anticipation. Ethan couldn't even fumble for a word. His hesitation to respond, the guilt in his eyes and anxiety was obvious, making me even more furious and restless. I know I haven't been in touch with my son through the years but it's unfair that I've been kept in the dark about his condition and health struggles.I've only learnt that he had a hole in his heart and would be needing surgery in some months time. What other information is there for me to know? Is it way more complicated? Will it pose any further complications for his treatment and prognosis?Those thoughts swirled in my mind, my anxiety getting the better of me.“You're his mother and nothing changes that,” Ethan began, his voice calm and neutral.“I don't need that information. I'm his biological mother and nothing changes that fact. Even though he's under someone else's care—” I mumbled, taking my gaze to Jasmine whose eyes bored into min

    Scarlett’s POV ~As Jasmine spun around to face me, her brows snapped in a scowl with her face etched with disgust.She stared at Ethan and back to me, acting so surprised to see me standing there.What a dramatic idiot. Is she trying to pretend like she hadn't seen me with Ethan before she walked in?“What is she doing here?” She asked, her lips twitching.I didn't reply, instead, I turned to Ethan to continue my conversation with him now that they were done with their fake display of concern over my son's condition.“If anything happens to Eric, if anything happens to my son, you'll beat the consequences, Ethan. I swear to make you suffer I'll make your life miserable,” I shot out at him, my voice louder than intended.Ethan's lips quivered as he fumbled for words. His throat worked but not a single word came out of his mouth. He stepped forward, wanting to reach me but Jasmine held him, stopping him right on his track.“Ethan, don't even bother exchanging words with that bitch. I

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 52. Oh, What A Manipulator!

    Scarlett’s POV ~>The sight of her made me irritated. Her fake sympathy, the wet tears on her cheeks and her expression that seemed to be the only thing that garnered attention from Ethan. She approached him, her lower lips trembling as she dragged it with her teeth. Her cheeks flushed with sulkiness with her eyes red-rimmed from tears.“E - Ethan. Where is Eric? How - how is he doing? How is my son?” She asked, her voice barely above a whisper. My brows snapped together in a fierce scowl, my eyes narrowing as I watched jasmine’s antics Since when did she start addressing Eric as her son? Is she trying to get attention or show some fake sympathy for my son who was fighting for his life in the hospital bed?“Jasmine,” Ethan mumbled, his voice neutral. He didn't move an inch from where he stood, but he felt somewhat uneasy with her presence. Jasmine closed the distance between her and Ethan. With her face etched with worry, she asked in a trembling voice, “I heard what happened to Eri

    Scarlett’s POV~“We need to talk. Right now, Ethan,” I repeated, my voice louder than before despite the crack threatening to break it. The air was sharp with tension as Ethan and I stood there, eyes locked on each other. My face was firm, my jaw clenched with my eyes red-rimmed from tears. The pain of having to be apart from your son all because of a shithead like him and watching your son suffer all because of his negligence was unbearable.What kind of father was he? If I were to count his sins and his accusations, then he wouldn't have any ground to stand on. His own guilt and wrongdoings would undermine his credibility and render his accusations against me baseless..The last time I saw Eric at the hospital, Jasmine claimed I was a bad mother and that I had no right to interfere in Eric's condition. She claimed to know what's best for my own son and Ethan stood by her, defended her and made me embarrassed.Even after what he did in the past, he had the right to speak unworthily

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 50.~. We need to talk

    Scarlett’s POV ~>Ethan tore his gaze away from mine but I wouldn't deny that I saw a flicker of guilt in it. I sucked in a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, trying to process the mix of emotions swirling inside me. The guilt in his eyes was noticeable and it only fueled my frustration, knowing he had let our son down. Even as Dylan whispered comforting words to me, I couldn't ignore the rage that was stirring up in me. Those past memories flashed in my face like a scene from a movie— the arguments, difficulties of my pregnancy, his constant doubts, the tears, the feeling of being torn apart from my child.Everything was still fresh in my mind. I remembered the pain of giving up Eric, the sense of loss that had haunted me for years and now, seeing him lying on that stretcher, unconscious.. It was almost too much to bear.“Take a deep breath, Scarlett. I believe everything's going to be fine.” Dylan's words were soothing but it did nothing to ease the aching feelings in my hear
