last update Last Updated: 2025-05-02 23:55:15

Scarlet’s POV

My stomach rolled in anticipation, a queasy feeling fueled by the crowd. Even though I’d been a celebrity’s wife in previous years, I was still overwhelmed by such large crowds and the mass of faces.

My mind was a jumble of thoughts and emotions, each one tangled in the next.

What would people say about me? How would they feel when they discover that I'm McKenzie’s missing granddaughter and a part of the iconic Scott family?

A touch on my hands shattered my thoughts. I looked up to see McKenzie flashing me a soothing smile.

“You're not used to crowds, are you?” She asked, giving my hair a gentle stroke.

I managed a nod, stealing a glance at the paparazzi from the corners of my eyes.

Through the tinted window, I saw them snapping photos, their cameras flashing like fireflies in the darkness.

“Don't worry. You'll get used to it. I just want everyone to know who you are.” Her words left me feeling both reassured and uneasy.

My heart felt heavy with uncertainty as I wonder

    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.

    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.

    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

    Scarlett's POV ~“Scarlett! Please, we need to talk.” Dylan mumbled, his eyes locked on mine. I shook my head, trying to figure out just more important reasons I had to leave so I wouldn't end up listening to whatever it was he wanted to say. Even as I tried to think of an excuse, I came up with nothing, realising I couldn't avoid the conversation. I took a deep breath, my eyes meeting him as if drawn by an unseen force. My mind swirled with a mix of emotions, and as he pulled me towards him, I could feel my anger boiling over, my fist clenched against his chest.“Dylan, let go of me this instant,” I mumbled, more like a threat. “Dylan!” I called once more when he tightened his grip on my wrist, his eyes filled with curiosity.My eyes flashed with resentment as I glared up at him. As I struggled in his grip, he held me closer to him, his hands wrapping around my waist. Our faces were an inch apart, but my resistance didn't melt away. Even as his hands trailed my skin, I couldn't resp
