SCARLET’S POVI sat on the couch, but leaned my back on it, wondering what was going on with me. Although, it was a good thing that my abilities were coming back, but it was happening all of a sudden and I needed to know the reason.I had thought that I would never get my abilities back, so this was like a really big surprise for me. I decided to share this with someone, probably an explanation could come out from there.I reached for my phone on the table and decided to give Carla a call. I didn't want to bother Elias since he already had so much going on. “Hey, Carla. Can you come over to see me?” “Sure. I’ll be there, soon.” she replied. After hanging up, I stood up and went over to the kitchen to take a few snacks that we could share when she came over. After a while, Carla showed up, and we were both in the sitting room, crunching and munching on our snacks.“So, you’re trying to say that you got your abilities back.” Carla repeated as she made her expression that showed that

BRAD’S POVI wrapped my arms around her, and sniffed in her scent. It was calming especially since I was having a mental war in my head. “I’m sorry for the way I treated you, Scarlet. I’m truly sorry.” I apologized, hugging her tight, but I could feel her trying to push me away. I could feel her trying to resist me like I was a plague. Then I withdrew myself from her, and stared into her eyes. I could tell she was quite surprised, but I hoped that she was going to accept my apology. I could feel her anger too but I could always change that. “I’m also sorry for taking you away forcefully, and for the death of your mother. I really feel so bad for this. Please forgive me.” I apologized. "I know you think it's all my fault and I accept that. My desire to be with you got into my head and I wish I could go back to change that."“Forgive you?” She questioned softly, looking at me with a surprised expression.“I know you are really angry with me. Look, I realize that I made a mistake in pi

SCARLET’S POVThe way Carla had said it, made me feel somehow. I hadn’t thought too far on it, and even when Carla told me to be careful, I really didn’t want to be careful. I wanted to be carefree for once, and believe that Brad was truly sorry and that he wanted to make it up to me. I wanted to feel that love for once, at least.“Alright, ma’am. Did you have lunch?” I asked Carla to quickly change the topic.“Well, I can’t really say that was lunch, but I really don’t mind if you want to sponsor my lunch.” Carla chuckled, and looked sideways, because she knew I didn’t mean for it to go that far.I chuckled, and slammed my hand on my face,“You really are something else, Carla. Alright, lunch is on me.” I yielded to her.“Good. And it’s not just going to end with having lunch. We got to have fun after that, and there is every possibility that we’ll be coming back at night.” Carla squealed in excitement.Carla was a great vibe, and I was glad to have her as my friend, especially in t

ELIAS' POV.I sat in the living room looking around as I had nothing to do, and my eyes fell on the flowers Scarlet had received. Who had sent them? Did that mean there was someone else who liked Scarlet? Was there someone looking to propose to her? Because the only reason a girl would receive flowers from an unknown person was when the person was trying to make himself known as a lover and for some reason, the thought did not sit well with me. Shortly, Scarlet returned with a cup of hot, brimming coffee."Here." She said, handing the cup to me."Thanks." I replied and watched her sit next to me exhaling loudly. "Is anything bothering you?" I asked as I put the cup to my lips. "Hey, hey, it's hot. Careful there." She said, extending out her hands like she wanted to grab the cup from me. I chuckled. "Of course I do know it's hot and I'm being careful. I really would have preferred something warm though. It's scalding hot." I told her, finally managing to take a quick sip of the cof

SCARLET’S POVI winced out in pain, but it wasn’t also loud enough for people to hear as I didn’t want to attract attention. I didn’t know what Brad had in mind to do, in case I got him really pissed, now.“You’re hurting me, Brad.” My voice shook, expressing my pain.“That’s why you should sit, or I’ll keep hurting you. For goodness sake, I’m not done speaking, yet.” He said, in between his teeth.Oh, my goodness. Brad hadn’t changed at all. He was just still the same Brad I knew before all this pretense came up. Why was I so blind that I couldn’t notice it?So, all these romantic stuffs were all a pretense, his play to get to me, and that hurt me deeply as I figured that out. I stared into his determined eyes, and hesitantly sat down.“So, all you were doing was just for show.” “Pfft! And if I tell you that you’re right, what are you going to do about that? Wait, for a moment, did you think you deserved the sweet things I did for you?” Brad mocked, and chuckled.His actions were li
