Chapter 10

Author: Shirley
Maria, the housekeeper, approached him in the empty hall, her eyes red-rimmed.

"Boss, before the madam left, she said..." Maria sobbed as she continued, "to tell you that she has canceled all her bank cards. She doesn't want to owe the Thompson family anything."

In a daze, he imagined her sitting at the vanity, calmly removing each piece of jewelry in the mirror.

He saw her standing on the balcony, quietly gazing into the distance, as if saying goodbye to her former home.

He saw her walking down the hall for the last time, her back straight and unwavering.

...

Kieran reached out, trying to grasp those phantoms, but his hand closed on empty air.

Scarlett was gone.

She had vanished from his world, taking her pride and resolve with her.

Kieran sank helplessly onto the sofa, unable to accept the reality before him.

After a long while, he went to the study, where a document on the desk finally caught his eye.

The agreement to dissolve the alliance and the divorce papers.

  • Untouched for Three Years, I Carried His Rival’s Heir   Chapter 25

    Kieran hid in the shadows like a pathetic ghost, watching a joy that would never be his.He saw me smiling radiantly, running into Enzo's arms with the acceptance letter.He saw me take the pink diamond from around my neck, kiss it, then slip it from the cord and onto my ring finger before looking at Enzo with a sweet, radiant smile."Enzo, let's be together!""Yes!"We hugged tightly, and Enzo spun me around several times, like a child who had just been given candy.Kieran watched this scene, silently tucking the gift he had brought back into his pocket. He lowered his head, pulling his hat down, trying to melt into the crowd.The Scarlett of today was so dazzling, exactly the version of her that had first captured his heart.It was the marriage, the prison of the Thompson family, that had trapped her. It had made her insecure and anxious, forcing her to abandon her passions and career to revolve around him alone.It was all his fault.Kieran's eyes welled up with tears.If she hadn't

    After such a heart-wrenching marriage, I couldn't throw myself into a new relationship so soon.Moreover, that unequal waiting, that daily erosion of the soul, I never wanted to experience it again.My career had not yet restarted, and I had too much I wanted to do. I couldn't be bound by another relationship so quickly.Enzo seemed to see through my thoughts and didn't press me.But he still pressed the pink diamond into my palm."My heart is in your hands now. Throw it away if you want; I won't stop you. But I will wait for you, until the day you give me an answer."He spoke the most sincere words in an almost joking tone.I clutched the ring tightly, afraid of losing it.I found a silk cord, threaded it through the ring, and wore it around my neck.Seeing the pink diamond resting against my heart, Enzo's lips curved into an imperceptible smile.It was as if his heart was pressed against mine.As we turned to leave, a familiar figure blocked our path.Kieran stood against the light,

    Kieran slowly turned and walked step by step until he was in front of Camilla.He lifted her chin, the words he spoke colder than a Sicilian winter."Camilla, the fall of the Russo family was your own doing, not mine.""I was going to let you go, but now, I've changed my mind. Every single thing you took from Scarlett, you will pay back, twofold.""If it weren't for you, Scarlett and I could have... My mistake was being too merciful with you."Hearing this, Camilla panicked, shaking her head frantically. "No... you can't do this to me... Kieran, you can't..."But there was no trace of old affection in Kieran's eyes. He dialed his men."Seize everything she owns. Liquidate everything she got from Scarlett, convert it to market value, and make her pay.""And recreate the shooting at the horse race. Let her feel a bullet whistle past her ear.""Finally, make her walk that gravel path barefoot in the middle of a storm."The man on the other end of the line confirmed the orders.In moments,

    Kieran's lips trembled, but no words came.He knew I was telling the truth but refused to accept his final defeat."Scarlett," he said, as if to himself, his voice hollow. "If you don't want to go back to New York for now, I'll stay here with you. Until you're willing to come with me."Enzo looked at him with contempt. "Mr. Thompson, I suggest you return to New York. You're not welcome here."Kieran ignored Enzo, his eyes fixed on me."I won't give up, Scarlett."With that, he turned and fled, his retreat somewhat pathetic, somewhat desolate.Watching him flee, Enzo's voice sounded in my ear."Do you need my family's power and legal assistance?"I was silent for a long moment, then nodded."I do."I wasn't a fool. The resources Enzo Bellini could mobilize were far greater than anything I could muster. With his help, I could sever these ties as quickly as possible.As expected, with Enzo's intervention, the so-called mediation was quickly convened.It was more decisive than any court.I

    "I actually... I love you, Scarlett. I love you, I just... I was too damn late to realize it... I'm sorry..."He was rambling, his eyes bloodshot, his voice trembling.He took a step forward, grabbing my hands, trying to pull me into his arms.Before I could even resist, Enzo's hand had clamped down on Kieran's wrist, forcing him to let go with an undeniable strength."What's this?" Enzo's lips curved into a dangerous smile, murder glinting in his eyes. "The boy's father hasn't said a word, and you're already trying to claim my woman and my son?""To dare touch my people in Chicago, on my turf... you're the first."His grip tightened. I could hear the sickening crunch of Kieran's wrist bones, and his face instantly turned pale.The two men were at a standoff, neither willing to back down.I frowned in disgust, twisted my wrist, and with a precise movement, pulled my hand free from between them."Kieran, I don't care what you think," my voice was devoid of warmth. "Whether you love me o

    Hearing the bodyguard's voice, I snapped back to reality and shoved Enzo away.Enzo just gave a wicked smile, his tongue slowly tracing his lower lip as if savoring the taste of me.He paid no mind to his disheveled shirt and reached for the door."Wait!"I quickly stopped him, my hand pressing down on his as he gripped the doorknob."What is it, Principessa?" His deep voice held a hint of amusement. "Not enough?""Your shirt... it's a mess," I said, my face burning as I avoided his gaze.Enzo simply held out his hands, the meaning clear.The amusement in his eyes deepened. "You made this mess. It's only fair that you fix it."The frantic images from moments ago flashed through my mind. I bit my lip in shame and reached out to smooth the wrinkles on his shirt.My fingertips brushed against the scorching heat of his chest, and a jolt of electricity shot through me.But I, the one who had caused it, was too flustered to think about it.Enzo's gaze darkened, his Adam's apple bobbed violen
