บททั้งหมดของ The Billionaire's Forbidden Entanglement: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

SCARLETT “Oh, my God!” I exclaim, my hand flying to my mouth, as Reed tells me that the guy he told me about earlier turned out to be his half-brother and there’s one more. He’s reeling from the revelation, which is understandable, and my heart breaks as he says he doesn’t even know who he is anymore. He says he feels so lost and numb. I can’t even imagine how I would feel if I found out Mom had other children that she never told me about. I tell him I’m so sorry, but I’m shocked again when he tells me about the gun and who it belongs to. “Do you think you got so angry that your dad supported Camille that he shot him?” I ask and he says he doesn’t know. “I need you here with me,” he says, and I tell him I would love to be there with him, but we know it can’t happen. He says it can now, adding that his mother is leaving, but he will stay behind. He asks if I mind going there and I tell him, of course, I don’t. I’ve been dying to be by his side through this. He says his mothe

SCARLETT We arrive at Reed’s place and we are all jet lagged. I need a hot shower and then I need to lie down. I head to our bedroom while Reed shows his brothers to their rooms. After Reed told me what the detective said, Milo entered the room, also having gotten the same news. He said he and MJ were also coming down and they were going to book themselves a hotel since they no longer have a home here. But Reed said they could stay with us at his place. Reed’s apartment is big and there are three guest rooms, which work out perfectly to accommodate them. They agreed so they are going to be staying with us during their stay here. He enters the room and plops on the bed with this thinking expression that makes me ask him what he’s thinking about. He says he wants to go to his parents’ place; he needs something from his dad’s study. I tell him OKAY and that I’m going to hit the shower and sleep. If I wake up before nightfall, I’m going to go visit Lexi and hear a bit more about this

SCARLETT “Are you sure you don’t want anything?” I ask Ollie. and she says she’s full, so I only get Lexi a drink. They settle down on the sofa, saying they won’t be staying long. Ollie says her dad is taking her and her mom somewhere, but they wanted to talk to me about something. Handing the juice over to Lexi, I ask them what they want to talk about, and Ollie says about me going back to university. “You had not officially dropped out and you haven’t been away for too long,” she says, and I haven’t thought of that. I suppose I could because I don’t think Reed and I will be going back to London anytime soon and it looks as though he’s also busy with his mother. “Maybe I will,” I say to them, and they say I should. “If Mr. Sterling is not found, Reed is probably not going to leave for London, which means you’ll be here. Plus, even if he later leaves, you can stay here and finish up,” she says. I’m not sure about the funding situation, but Reed was going to pay for my education ne

SCARLETT “What?” I whisper, getting off the bed, while Reed scrambles for his phone to call the detective. He tells him what just happened and gives him the location of the watch. They don’t stay long on the phone and my heart sinks when I hear him tell the detective that he can fly with him and his mother, knowing they are going back to the island, and I can’t go because his mom is going. I get dressed, and he laces his fingers over his head, pausing for a moment after ending the call while his eyes get teary, causing me to walk up to him and pull him into a hug. I want to tell him maybe it’s his father, but as he said, it could be anyone and I don’t want to put his hopes up for nothing. Plus, he said, neither of them has worn the watches since they finished their contest, as it were bought just for that, so it’s highly unlikely that it was Mr. Sterling who put it on.“Am I crazy for thinking that even though it could be anyone wearing this watch that it’s my dad, maybe he found it

SCARLETT As I step into my bedroom, exhaustion washes over me in waves, dragging me down into the depths of despair. I throw my bag onto the floor with a heavy thud, my shoulders slumping with the weight of the world and the sinking feeling in my stomach intensifies as I look around the empty room, the silence haunting. My fingers fumble for my phone, even though I know there won’t be any messages. I checked just before exiting the car, yet the emptiness of my inbox mocks me once again. With a sigh, I toss the phone onto the bed and collapse onto the mattress, burying my face in the pillows as tears threaten to spill. But just then, I hear the sound of the front door opening. My heart leaps into my throat as I rush to the security monitor behind the door, my eyes widening at the familiar face that appears on the screen. And just like that, my exhaustion is forgotten, replaced by a surge of emotion that threatens to overwhelm me.I’m already standing outside the bedroom door when he
