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.

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 150. Ignoring Boundaries.

    Scarlett's POV~Dylan encircled me with his arms, his cologne wafting through the air and filling my senses with its familiar scent. I stared into his eyes–those deep blue eyes I often admire–drowning myself in the depths of them, but now, they seemed to be filled with nothing but deceit and lust. The realization lingered, knowing he was already taken with his heart and thoughts bound to someone else, even if he was present in this moment with me. The thought of it filled my mind, but I couldn't bring myself to confront him, At least not yet. He ran his fingers on my skin, but I didn't feel any sensation, desire or warmth. They'd all gone a long time ago. I swallowed hard as he brought his fingers to my chest, his eyes fixed on my round perfect tits. My stomach churned and I shuddered as I shifted away slightly, my skin crawling in discomfort as if my body was rebelling against the touch, rejecting the intimacy that once might have felt welcoming.He looked up at me and whispered, h

    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.As they walked away, George's voice carried on the wind,

    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

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.

    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

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.
