Dominic

The moment I reached my study, I closed the door behind me and leaned against it for a brief second, exhaling slowly as if the air itself had become too thick.

Then I stripped off my jacket and shirt and stepped into the bathroom.

The cold water hit my skin like punishment.

It was necessary, exactly what I needed to quiet the storm building inside me.

But even as the water ran over my body, my thoughts did not leave Scarlett.

Her face when she had almost fallen.

Her voice when she trie

  • Too Late To Take Me Back Alpha    chapter 58

    ScarlettThe following morning, I woke up feeling more refreshed than I had in days. Perhaps it was because, for the first time in a very long while, my mind had not been occupied by thoughts of Killian.After getting ready, I chose a cream-colored blouse tucked into a navy pencil skirt, pairing it with a fitted blazer that gave me the professional appearance I preferred. Amelia had once joked that I looked more intimidating in business attire than most Alphas did in battle, and remembering her words brought a small smile to my lips.After a light breakfast, I picked up my handbag and headed downstairs. My guards were already waiting outside. The moment I stepped through the front doors, they bowed respectfully."Good morning, Luna Scarlett.""Good morning," I replied with a gentle smile.One of them opened the rear door of the car for me. "Thank you."I settled into the seat, and the vehicle smoothly pulled away from the mansion. The morning traffic flowed steadily, giving me enoug

    ScarlettI stared at the screen for a few seconds after answering the call. The silence between us stretched just long enough to become uncomfortable before I finally broke it."What is it, Killian?"My voice was calm, almost indifferent. There was no warmth left in it, no affection, only the patience of someone who wanted the conversation to end as quickly as possible.A quiet sigh came from the other end before he spoke. "Scarlett... I've been thinking about what you said."I remained silent, waiting."I've given it a lot of thought." Another pause followed, longer this time. "I'm willing to give you five percent of the company."For a brief moment, I genuinely wondered if I had heard him correctly. Five percent. A slow smile tugged at my lips, though there wasn't the slightest trace of amusement behind it. He actually thought he was being generous. How laughable.I leaned back against the headboard and crossed one leg over the other. "Five percent?" I repeated calmly."Yes." His v

    Scarlett As we stepped into the hallway, I did not look back.I already knew what I would find if I did. And a very calculated attempt to make me break.But I was not the same woman who once accepted silence as defeat.By the time I returned to my office, the exhaustion of the day finally began to settle in my bones.The events of the laboratory, the meeting that never happened, the quiet war being built around me.I loosened my coat and sank into my chair for a brief moment.My secretary placed the files gently on my desk.“I’ll be outside if you need me, Luna.”“Thank you,” I replied softly.When she left, silence filled the room.For a while, I simply sat there.Then I stood, walked to the window, and allowed myself a single deep breath.The city stretched beyond the glass, alive and indifferent.But inside me… Something sharper was forming... Determination.Hours passed quietly as I reviewed documents and updated reports, trying to steady my mind.Eventually, I left the office..

    Scarlett A few minutes later, I made my way toward the research laboratory.The atmosphere inside immediately energized me.Scientists moved confidently between workstations.Computers displayed complex molecular models.Large glass chambers reflected bright laboratory lights.The entire room buzzed with quiet excitement.The moment Emma noticed me, she hurried over. "Luna... We're ready."Daniel joined her moments later, carrying several reports."We completed the calibration an hour ago."Benjamin adjusted his safety glasses before smiling. "The compound remained stable throughout every preliminary analysis."Sophia could barely contain her excitement."We've all been waiting for you."I smiled at each of them. "Then let's begin."Everyone immediately took their assigned positions.The laboratory gradually fell silent.Rachel carefully transferred the completed serum into the primary testing chamber.Daniel activated the monitoring system.Benjamin calibrated the pressure controls.

    ScarlettI leaned back against the soft leather seat as the car pulled away from Dominic's mansion.Without realizing it, my fingers slowly drifted toward my lips.A smile... I was still smiling.Goddess...What was wrong with me?I had replayed our breakfast together at least five times during the short drive.The way he had quietly filled my plate.The concern in his voice whenever he looked at me.The gentle smile that somehow managed to calm every storm inside my heart.No one had ever looked after me that way.Not once.Not even during my years with Killian.For so many years, I had convinced myself that love meant giving endlessly without expecting anything in return.Now...Someone had shown me what it felt like to be the one receiving that care.It felt... Strange, comforting, and dangerous.I shook my head softly before looking out through the window.No.I could not allow myself to become distracted.There was still too much to do.Only two days remained before the deadline.

    Scarlett's POVA soft groan escaped my lips before I even opened my eyes.My head felt as though someone had taken a hammer to it all night.Goddess...Why did it hurt so much?I slowly lifted a hand and pressed my fingers against my throbbing temple, squeezing my eyes shut as another wave of pain washed over me."What happened...?"The memories came back in scattered pieces.The dinner, the investors, the wine, their smiles, their hands...Then... Dominic.My eyes flew open.For a moment, I simply stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above me.This wasn't my room.It certainly wasn't my mansion.I frowned and slowly pushed myself into a sitting position, wincing immediately as my head protested."Where am I?"My gaze wandered around the room.The bedroom was breathtaking.Everything was decorated in shades of white, charcoal, and deep walnut. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked a magnificent private garden, allowing the gentle morning sunlight to pour into the room. The curtains were mad

    Scarlett's POV I stood beside my father's body until the doctors came to prepare him. Then I stepped outside, leaned against the cold corridor wall, closed my eyes, and gave myself exactly sixty seconds to fall apart. Sixty seconds. That was all I could afford. When I opened my eyes again, Ushe
