Chapter 1

Scarlett's POV When I opened my eyes, I felt like I was in a dream. The bed I was lying on was softer than anything I had ever touched, like lying on a cloud. The room was big, with tall ceilings and golden chandeliers that sparkled even though there was no sunlight. The walls were decorated with delicate patterns of roses and vines, painted in soft whites and golds, and the air… it smelled faintly of lavender.Everything looked like it came straight out of a movie about royal castles.I sat up slowly, my head spinning. My heart was racing as I took it all in. Where was I? And how did I get here? The last thing I remembered was walking home from the library, tired and thinking about the pizza I had waiting in the fridge. But this... this wasn’t my home.“Where is my child?”The deep, smooth voice startled me so much that I almost fell off the bed. I turned quickly and saw a man stepping out from the shadows near a massive, elaborate fireplace.He was tall, probably over six feet, a

Chapter 2

Scarlett's POV The loud sound of my alarm clock jolted me awake. I quickly sat up, my heart racing, and for a moment, I couldn’t tell if I was still dreaming. My breath came in shallow gasps as I looked around. Slowly, the familiar sight of my dorm room came into focus. My posters, my books stacked haphazardly on the desk, the small plant by the window—everything was right where it should be.I let out a shaky breath. "Thank goodness," I whispered to myself. "It was just a dream. A stupid dream."The sudden knock on my door startled me again. "Scarlett!" It was my roommate, Hannah. Her voice was sharp but playful, as always. "Are you up? First class is with her. You know she locks the door if you're late!"I groaned, rubbing my temples. “I’m up, I’m up! Give me a second!”“Two minutes,” she called back, her voice teasing but firm. “Or I’m leaving without you.”I swung my legs over the side of the bed, ready to get up, but the moment I moved, a sharp pain shot through my lower body

Chapter 3

Scarlett's POVThe man’s gaze pierced through me like sunlight breaking through a foggy morning. I couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe. It was like I had been pulled into a spell I didn’t know existed. His ocean-blue eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that felt almost unreal. Everything around me—students, chatter, the faint smell of chalk—faded away. It was just him and me in that moment, as if the universe had stopped spinning to let him look right into my soul.I didn’t know how long I stared. A second? A minute? It felt like forever. Then, suddenly, the sharp sound of the bell broke the silence in my head, and just like that, he was gone. He turned the corner and disappeared down the hallway as if he hadn’t just turned my world upside down.I gasped, sucking in air like I had been underwater. My chest felt tight, my heart racing as though it was trying to escape. “What was that?” I muttered under my breath, clutching the edge of my desk. My hands were trembling.Before I cou

Chapter 4

Scarlett's POV Hannah was practically bouncing with excitement as we made our way back to our dorm. She had that mischievous look in her eye, the one that always meant trouble. I should have known that this “fun” idea wasn’t going to be as simple as grabbing a quiet drink.The moment we stepped inside, she flung open her closet like it held all the answers to the universe. “Scarlett,” she said, her voice filled with glee, “tonight is going to be epic. We’re going to make memories you’ll never forget.”“Right. Is that code for me regretting every second of this?” I muttered, sitting on the edge of my bed.She ignored me and kept on pulling out one outfit after another. Most of them were barely outfits at all—short, tight, and shiny. Finally, she held up a tiny black top and an even tinier skirt. “This is perfect.”I blinked at her. “That’s not an outfit. That’s…two napkins sewn together.”Hannah laughed, playfully tossing the pieces at me. “Oh, come on! You’ve got the perfect body f

Chapter 5

Scarlett's POVIt was like he saw nothing else in the room, just me. His stare was magnetic, commanding, and terrifying. The possessiveness in his eyes made my skin crawl.I wanted to take my eyes off him, to look elsewhere, but I couldn't. It was as though I was trapped. I couldn’t move. Just then, my mind began to spin as images of that night flashed before me like a broken movie reel. The room, his voice, his accusations, the sex. I had convinced myself it was all a bad dream, something my overactive mind had cooked up. But now? Seeing him standing there, walking towards me step by step—I didn't think it wasn’t a dream.I wasn't sure, but… there was this nagging feeling.My legs felt weak as I stood, trying to back away, but before I could make it two steps, Liam DeLuca was standing right in front of me, towering over me. His presence was suffocating, the scent of something dark and musky filling the space between us.He looked me up and down, taking in my outfit—a fitted top a

Chapter 6

Scarlett's POV No. Not again. That can’t happen again.I looked up at him—those cold, unforgiving eyes watching me like I was some kind of prize he had already won. “I’m calling the police.” “Really?” Liam chuckled.“You can’t just… you can’t just do this to me! I’ll tell them you raped me.”His expression suddenly darkened. “Go on, Scarlett,” he said sharply, “Call the police. Let's see if you make it out of here in one piece.”I wasn’t going to back down. Not this time. I pulled my arm away from his grip. “Screw you! My voice cracked, but I pushed through. “You can’t control me! You’re crazy, you sick rapist!”Just then, one of his men stepped forward, his hand twitching towards his belt, and I realized with a sick jolt that he was ready to shut me up.Fear gripped me, but before I could react, Liam raised his hand to stop him. “Don’t,” he ordered. “She's mine to deal with.”The man hesitated, then retreated back into the darkness, and I let out a shaky breath.Liam's lip curled

Chapter 7

Scarlett's POV The car ride back to Liam’s mansion was suffocating. The air inside felt thick, like it was pressing down on me, making it harder to breathe. Two of his bodyguards sat on either side of me, their large frames boxing me in. My wrists hurt from where they had grabbed me earlier, but I barely noticed because my mind was racing, trying to think of a way out.“This is kidnapping!” I screamed suddenly, my voice shaky but loud. “You can’t just take me like this. Let me go!”Neither of them responded. They didn’t even glance at me, like I wasn’t worth their time. That only made the fear and anger boil inside me. I leaned forward and tried to grab the phone on the console. “I’ll call the police! I’ll…”One of the men caught my wrist mid-air and pushed me back into the seat. His voice was cold and detached. “Don’t try anything stupid.”My chest heaved as tears welled up in my eyes. “Please,” I begged, my voice low. “Please, just let me go. You don’t have to do this.”The man

Chapter 8

Scarlett's POV Before the doctor could answer my question, Liam interrupted by clearing his throat. He adjusted the cuff of his suit and looked at the doctor. “I’ll be the next office,” he said casually.I glared at him, my chest tightening. “Coward,” I spat under my breath, but he didn’t react. His calmness, his control over everything—it was annoying. He didn’t even look at me, didn’t acknowledge my anger. It was like I didn’t matter.Without another word, he left.My hands clenched into fists. I wanted to demand he explain why exactly he was doing this—but what was the point? He wouldn’t care.The doctor adjusted his glasses, his expression calm and professional, like this was just another day at work for him. “Alright, Miss Scarlett,” he began, his voice steady. “We’re going to start with a few basic questions. Just answer honestly.”I blinked at him, trying to keep my breathing even. I listened to the hissing sound of the electricity and suddenly got scared. What kind of questi

Chapter 9

Scarlett's POV “We are far from finished, Miss Scarlett. In fact, we’re just getting started,” the doctor said with a smile that irked me.The steady beeping of the machine felt louder now, almost as if it was mocking me. “What more do you want from me? I’ve answered all your questions. Isn’t that enough?”He tilted his head slightly, as if studying me. “You’ve answered some questions,” he replied smoothly, “but we still haven't found what we are looking for.”My stomach twisted, and I clenched my fists. “What?! You have no right…”“Actually, I do,” he interrupted, his voice cool. “You’re here because you’ve given us no choice. You’ve been… hiding the truth. And now, we’re going to force it out of you.”I opened my mouth to protest, but he leaned forward, his eyes narrowing. “We have done our homework, Scarlett. Your background wasn’t exactly hard to piece together.”My heart skipped a beat. “What the hell are you talking about?” I asked, though fear was already creeping up my spine

Chapter 10

Liam's POV The sun was out, bright and warm on my face, but it didn’t do a damn thing for my mood. When I was sitting on the swivel chair in the office, a heavy creak marked every swing. I was trying, really trying to keep my head on straight. But it was impossible.Scarlett's face kept flashing in my mind, and her lies were circling my brain like a pack of vultures.My gut kept telling me she was lying, no matter what that machine said.Just then, the doctor showed up, looking tired as hell. His eyes had dark circles, and his shoulders slumped like he had been up all night—which I knew he had. He stopped in front of me, shuffling his feet like a kid about to admit he broke something expensive. “Liam,” he started, his voice low. “We’ve gone over Scarlett’s statements multiple times. The machine confirmed she’s telling the truth. She has never been pregnant and doesn't know anything about a child.”My jaw clenched, my teeth grinding together. “So you’re saying she’s clean?”“Yes.
