Sebastian's POV"Boss, they are here," Annabel uttered. A meeting was arranged with some investors regarding a building project. I needed to expand my company's reach, and a deal with them would surely put that into action. "I'll be right there, Annabel. Just a sec," I said, watching Annabel leave after.As my hand reached for my laptop, I had some information to check, details I had ordered to be sent to me once done. Dr. Danielle Matteo, a businessman—well, a doctor in the eyes of many, but I know what goes on there. I had hoped for a proper and beneficial deal with him. I had ordered tight monitoring on him, but damn, just like the rest, he proved to be nothing more than a crook out to betray me, acting up in the name of loyalty. I see through it all. Well, this would surely be his loss. I will play his game; I shall make him think he's one step ahead of me when actually, he's far behind. I'm still in need of some dealings with him, and once I'm done, I'll make sure to shut him up.

Scarlet's POVMy eyes snapped open as I slowly sat upright on my bed. It seemed I had beaten my phone alarm today, only to notice Sebastian still asleep by the side of the bed—a reminder of last night.I quietly got up and headed to the bathroom to wash up and get dressed before leaving the mansion. I needed to check on my mom at the hospital; I hoped she was doing better because I needed her to. Now that Dad was gone, the least I could do was be there for her. I couldn't lose my mother too, having lost my dad forever, and his love.I took a gentle sip of my morning coffee as I left the mansion, driving straight to the city hospital. My phone buzzed while I was driving; it was Alexander. I was sure it must be about the project and all, considering that I hadn't informed him of my absence. I imagined the shareholders must be really angry since I was supposed to oversee the project, and i wasn't around yesterday.I wouldn't be able to make it today either; I just had to explain things t

Sebastian's POV The buzz from my phone caused my eyes to spring open, a slight spinning pain in my head from the drinking last night. It took a moment to recall last night's incident with Scarlet and her sobbing state. Her parents? Dead. And on the same bridge, an accident caused by that bastard... If I wanted him to pay, I had to get things done myself. He would surely pay for what he had cost me—for every single bit of it. I gently stood up from my bed, walking down the stairs, trying to maintain my balance as I sat down on the couch. "Eloise!" I called out to my maid as she gently approached me. "Get me coffee," I requested, watching her leave. I needed to get my head in shape, gosh.  Not long after, my maid brought the coffee, which I drank at a warm temperature, releasing a gentle sigh as I stood up. With my eyes fully clear, I made my

"What do you think you're doing? How can you even do this? He's my uncle, and you had the guts to have an affair with him?" my dad yelled, his words echoing loudly in the room. "And what did you expect? I loved him, and who cares if he's your uncle? You speak of betrayal, but what about the women you take around? The same ones you call friends; you think I don't know what's going on between you all?" "Are you really serious? But how could you? Even if you had to, why did you choose my uncle? How could you do this without even a single regretful thought?" "I don't regret my actions. We both knew the love between us ended many years ago, and the only reason we're still together, acting out this drama, is because of our son..." My mom replied, her words hitting me hard. I was sitting at their doorstep, my ears slowly picking up their argument. "And which son do you speak of, anyway?

Despite her resistance, her reminders of not loving me, I cared less. All I wanted was to be with my mother at this moment. My hands reached for the door as I took a deep breath before knocking. I awaited a voice or the sound of the door opening, my hands gently cradling each other, my fingers fidgeting. Remembering the possibility of encountering that witch again, I knew she would create a scene and perhaps try to prevent me from seeing my mom. But I wouldn't give in to her this time. Last time we were at the hospital, so she had her chance, but this time was different. Things wouldn't play out as she had imagined. But first, I needed to get my mom on my side, to see that witch for who she truly was. Then I would come for her and make her pay for everything. Lost in my thoughts, I noticed no sounds from within the house. I knocked again but to no avail. Was nobody at home? I doubted my mom would have gone out given the
