Author's POV~

Ethan was increasingly worried as the clock ticked by. Dylan paced in his office, his voice controlled as he spoke with the cops over the phone.

The news on the television buzzed to life, grabbing Ethan's attention.

He read the headline, his heart racing with concern.

[Famous actress Scarlett has been reported missing]

According to the news reporter, she was last seen three days ago.

Worried, Ethan took out his phone and dialed Scarlett’s number desperately, hoping she would atleast pick up and inform him of her location and maybe, just maybe, she was in a safe place somewhere, making herself hidden from the media.

Unfortunately, her number wasn’t reachable.

He was able to get her second number but when he dialed, the automated message was the same, the number wasn’t available.

He thought about calling Alaric, if Scarlett was really missing then Alaric would have some idea on where she was, but he changed his mind at the last minute and called a man who owed him a

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 108. The Truth Hidden In Lies

    Scarlet's POV~I sat in the cold police station, my hands shaking on my lap. The bright lights made everything feel harsh and scary. I kept looking at the door, waiting for them to bring Jasmine in. My heart was beating so fast I thought everyone could hear it.When the door opened, Jasmine walked in with a police officer. She looked perfect, like always. Her hair was neat, her clothes were clean, and she had this innocent look on her face that made me want to scream. She was pretending to be confused and scared."I don't understand why I'm here," Jasmine said to the officer. Her voice was soft and sweet, like honey. "What did I do wrong?"The police officer, Detective Miller, pointed to a chair. "Please sit down, Miss Jasmine. We need to ask you some questions about Scarlett's kidnapping."Jasmine looked at me with big, surprised eyes. She acted like she had no idea what anyone was talking about. "Kidnapping? What kidnapping? Scarlett, what happened to you?"I wanted to jump up and y

  • Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen    Chapter 107. Sibling Bond

    Author's POV ~The sterile scent of antiseptic that clung to the air stabbed Scarlett’s senses as she adjusted herself on the hospital bed, her fingers trembling against the sheets. The heart monitor beeped steadily, completely different from the emotional chaos she was feeling in her chest.Every inhale made her ribs ache and now, she had a migraine from the presence of the other people in her room. Ethan stood beside her bed, his eyes tired and drawn. Jasmine stood beside him, looking more shaken than the woman lying in the bed. Her pristine blouse was unwrinkled, her makeup was untouched, and yet she looked like the portrait of a delicate damsel in distress, one with an evil heart and innocent face.Scarlett’s eyes narrowed in derision. Jasmine was a good actor, and Scarlett had seen enough.Ethan stared at jasmine's wide eyes, struggling to process everything she was saying.“I think Scarlett has gone insane! How would someone who was just found with sound mind just decide to acc

    ETHAN'S POVI alighted from the car, slamming the door with more force than necessary, a frown etched on my face as I headed toward the door towards the hospital. My mind was everywhere. I hadn’t expected things to turn out this way, but I hated being torn in the middle of everything.My eyes had caught sight of Alaric. I stopped, stood rooted to a spot for a moment, the same bitterness etching up my throat and clawing at my insides at the sight of him. I balled my fists at my sides, putting on a determination to ignore them.A light laughter came from their direction."I'm relieved, you know. I'm sorry things wound up this way..I was genuinely scared all through it," a female had spoken, leaning against Alaric, their arms locked together. The bastard! Was he cheating around openly?.. What sort of people did that at a hospital?"Scarlett going missing would've broken you and me as well. But now she's found, I think it’s better. She's up, and how is she faring? Is she perhaps healing w

    Author's POV ~"Honey, we're late!" Jasmine called out to Ethan, as she descended the stairs majestically, dressed in her expensive branded jacket, the outcome of her latest splurging. It was limited edition and she couldn't just look away despite the price.Her face, heavy with make-up, bore a wide smile. A smile that defined victory, happiness, satisfaction. She was this close to being liberated from the threats Scarllett, her husband's ex wife, posed to her relationship.Flaunting her hair bossily even when it was obvious the sitting room was totally empty, her fingers perched on the handle of the bag she carried, her heels clicked away at the stairs as she descended."I just need to get my tie," Ethan replied, his voice echoing all the way from the room where he struggled to put on his tie.Sighing, Jasmine shook her head, her lips still curled up in a smile.They were finally going to get started on the wedding preparations that had been kept on hold for the longest time, all b

    Author's POV ~McKenzie's mind was reeling in shock.Jasmine had kidnapped Scarlett? She wondered, looking down at Scarlett's tear stained face.“I know it sounds off, but Jasmine had sent those men to come after me. She warned me through them” Scarlett finished, still shaking in fear.McKenzie's expression shifted, horror etched on her face.Jasmine was capable of all that? She looked up at the doctor, whose expression mirrored the same horror and concern.Just then, the police walked into the ward, their eyes on Scarlett.“Mrs Scarlet?” One of them said as soon as they reached her.Scarlett glanced at her grandmother who gave a go-ahead nod.“I'll need you to tell me, in detail, what exactly happened,” the man said, grabbing a note book and pen.“Jasmine had me kidnapped a few days ago,” Scarlett confessed, managing to sit up and look at the man.This was what she was supposed to have done since, she thought as she narrated the story to the officers.The best way to make sure that
