MasukCHAPTER 229Scarlett *Months later*My pregnancy is now in its last semester and I can barely do anything. I find myself sleeping or eating. The amount of weight I had put on was one I wish I could still keep I made my way to the living room and found it dark and empty when I switched on the lights. No one was there, not even the guard. That was weird. I called for the maids but no one was coming. There was no way I was alone in the mansion. It wasn't like Aunt to leave without informing me. I made my way into the kitchen and found that it was empty. A part of me was just worried. Something felt off. I called my security, but no one was answering. I dialed my aunt's phone only to hear it ringing in the sitting room.I honestly didn't know what to think. I made my way upstairs but didn't find anyone there. Now it felt even scarier.“Scarlett!" I heard Aldric calling my name in a serious tone.“Babe," I responded, rushing to descend the staircase only to slow down halfway when my ey
CHAPTER 228Aldric I had to make a very difficult decision after I told my mother about Melissa being behind my brother's murder. We all wanted justice therefore united to make everything so convincing that Melissa wouldn't even know that I was playing her.Scarlett and I made up the night before I started devoting all my attention to Melissa. I knew everything would work out as long as we all stuck to the plan.The days and energy I spent trying to cage Melissa were just the worst. I couldn't even picture myself wanting her in my life. She tried to cover her scales so deeply, but I was vigilant throughout everything.Her phone calls with Eva, Daniel, Damien, and Nia. I was listening to everything while she was under the impression that I was fast asleep. The worst part was remembering that I was spending nights next to my brother's murderer. It sometimes just made me want to give her a hot slap but I didn't want to ruin the surprise.With every opportunity I had, I tapped her phone
CHAPTER 227Daniel I was in my suite having a great time when I heard a loud knock on my door. I didn't remember wanting room service, so I asked who it was before Nia walked in.“Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked her."I'm here to put you in your damn place,” Nia replied while I just began to laugh."I'm not in the mood OK. What are you doing?”" I'm not alone. Someone else is here to see you,” Nia said before the door opened and Scarlett walked in with Zoe and Aldric.“What the hell?" I looked at them.“Don't you dare play shocked here Daniel. Did you really think I wouldn't know you were planning to get me back?" Scarlett asked with a serious look on her face.“Get you? I don't know what you're talking about," I answered before she played a video of Melissa and me discussing how to separate them.“I know what that sounds like but trust me. I had pure intentions, Scarlett. I would never hurt you I—" Two hot slaps landed on my cheeks. I could tell that something bad was happe
CHAPTER 226Melissa Karina walked into the room with her arms crossed. I didn't understand what she was doing there, but one thing was for certain: trouble was stirred.“Babe what's going on?" I asked Aldric with a confused look on my face.“You tell me Melissa," he answered with a cold expression.“I told you that you would regret messing with me right? Now look at you," Karina smiled while I pretended not to know about anything.“Guard!" Aldric said and then his driver walked in. The same man whose face looked like that of the person who knew about what I did to Elias.“Yes, sir," the man said as he walked in.“Do you know this face, Melissa?" Aldric asked me.“Babe what are you saying? This is your driver right?" I responded.“Melissa, I'm not playing with you. Do you remember this man from the day you murdered my brother!” Aldric shouted, and I knew trouble was up, and I was far from my defenses."No I…I don't know him or what you're talking about," I stood my ground.“Great," Al
CHAPTER 225Melissa Aldric and I arrived at the penthouse he bought me. For the first time, I could truly feel that I had Aldric where I wanted him. It was obvious that his money was now in my hands. I smiled with excitement every time I looked at myself in the mirror. He had gone to take a shower so I dialed Eva's number.I told her everything and she seemed worried. I honestly didn't have time to be scared. I had the money right in my face, so what was there to be scared about?The moment I heard footsteps coming downstairs I quickly ended the call and looked at Aldric with a smile. He returned it before coming to hug me.“You seem so happy," he whispered.“You're just so amazing, Aldric. You are blowing my mind," I looked at him.“Trust me this is nothing compared to what I'll give you once we're married. You are my world now. You have honestly fought for our love,” he said while I blushed."Did you say something about marriage?” I lifted my brows."Yes, I've made up my mind and
CHAPTER 224Scarlett I was in the garden with everyone when Aldric's Mom showed up again. I didn't even feel the need to look at her with bad eyes. One could tell that she was really sorry for everything that she had done. In her hands was a basket that had some flowers and fruits. “Scarlett, my child, I brought you and the babies this," she said, handing it to me, and I gladly took the basket. “Thank you Mrs. Stone," I smiled before she asked me to call her mother. That would be nice but I wasn't used to that yet. We asked her to take a seat and join our little conversation. It later became obvious that she and Aunt had more knowledge on the topic. Time began to fly so fast that my aunt pulled Zoe, Gina, and Praisely away so that they could help her cook while I remained with Aldric's Mom. But Gina was just going for snacks.There was silence for a few minutes after they had left before I looked up and realized that Mrs. Stone was looking at me strongly. It was as if she wante
