#SCARLET^APARTMENT# A week passed by and the Browns family banquet is here, everyone in the city was enthusiastic and extremely pumped up. Scarlet as well was excited since she felt that if this day passes by; she will begin to prepare for her trip back to Germany. This place has exhausted her a lot and she needs a long break from all that has happened to her. Soon, it was late evening and the day was getting dark and darker with each second that passes by. “Are you going to attend the banquet tonight?” Asked Scarlet as she stepped down the stairs and joined Dolly in the living room. Dolly was sitting on the couch, watching the Browns family banquet preparation show on the TV. “No. I can’t and you know why,” Dolly rolls her eyes at her and Scarlet smiles as she sat down beside her. “We can order a babysitter if you want, you know just for tonight.” Scarlet playfully whispers into her ears. Dolly groaned as she leans her head backward on the rail of the couch, and she said, “I

“This can’t be possible!” Mr. Oak argued vehemently and he threw a wicked glare at Scarlet. “Mother, how sure are you this commoner is the elder daughter of William? We all know very well that that little girl died years ago, didn’t we find her burnt body in the car?” Marriott, the second daughter of Mrs. Brown said to her. “Then how do you explain the white mole on her neck, huh? Veronica has the mole too, doesn’t she?” Mrs. Brown stringently said. The room became hushed, even Scarlet couldn’t say a word because she was still drowning in the sea of daze. She is related to the Browns family? How could that be possible? “Grandma is right, the lady is my elder sister and must be received in our family.” The agile voice of a young lady was heard, she was standing behind Mrs. Brown. Her name is Veronica Williams Brown, the suppose younger sister to Scarlet who was deemed to be crowned the heir to the Browns conglomerate. “I won’t accept this!” Mr. Oak is still opposed, his forehead

“You both are joking, right?” Scarlet said, looking at both men as if they have gone crazy. “I am not, Scarlet.” Ford quickly said, and Scarlet eyes glowed with surprise. She couldn’t believe her ears right now. “Get lost, loser! You are interested in her because you want to win the contract!” Harry deliberately blew up Ford’s intentions toward Scarlet. “What! Is that true, boss?” Scarlet faced Fords as she became dumbfounded. “No! No! No! No! He is lying, please believe me, Scarlet. I truly love you so much, I have wanted to tell you but I have been so afraid to tell you.” Fords frantically explained himself to her, hoping she would believe him. “Lies!” Harry chuckled devilishly. Scarlet was already fuming angrily, what does her boss take her for? A puppet he can just have like that and use for his own selfish gains? “I am disappointed in you, Ford.” Scarlet growls and Ford’s face fell immediately as he became dejected. “Both of you should leave this place before I call the c

Fords sat on the bed in his room, he was drinking his liquor as his thoughts were crowded with Scarlet. She is the only woman his heart has come to love after his first girlfriend, Natasha, broke up with him. “Scarlet.” He chuckled drunkenly, shaking his head before he promptly gulps down more content through his glass cup filled with liquor. Abruptly the door of his room opens, and his foster sister slowly sticks her head into the room as she peek at him briefly before slinking into the room. “Hi... Hi big brother.” Miranda shutters nervously as she walks closer to him. She was wearing a pink gown that barely covered her thigh, her hair was packed in a hairy bun, and her lips were shiny with lipgloss. “Miranda...” Ford calls drunkenly as he raises his head to look at her, his eyelids were heavy for him to stare. “Big Brother, why are you drinking?” Miranda asked worriedly as she sat down beside him. Ford chuckles as he took a deep gulp of his liquor and he turns his head to

It was morning already and the sun was glistening brightly across the city, Meanwhile, Scarlet and her kids were having breakfast in the dining room. Dolly was just stepping out of the kitchen with two more trays, she got to the dining space and took a seat for herself next to Natasha. “Aunty, your food is delicious!” Taylor complimented her and Dolly's eyes lits up at him. “Really?” She knowingly asked and Taylor nods his head at her in confirmation. “I am jealous,” Scarlet muttered as she takes a bite of her omelet and everyone laughed except Natasha. “You don’t have to be jealous, okay? After all, I spend the most time with the kids, and I do most of the cooking for them, but don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining ma’am.” Dolly sighed and she started to eat her food. “Whatever.” Scarlet rolls her eyes, snatching the glass cup from the table and she drinks the water. “Wait for a second... Tomorrow is what?” Scarlet asked after having her drink and she dropped the glass cup
