Chapter 121. Love Triangle

Scarlett’s POV ~The murmurs quietened as Jasmine's mother walked away haughtily, her heels clicking against the polished tiles. The air was heavy with tension, every gaze drifting towards her and me. I bit my lips as I watched her with a mix of emotions, feeling frustrated about her audacity to threaten me in public. It was something I never expected. How dare she.I swallowed the lump past my throat, my jaw tight with my fists clenched tightly. Even as I tried to calm myself down, I could still feel a knot forming in my stomach. Jasmine's mother flashed me an intense stare, a deadly murderous gaze that held a hint of threat I couldn't back down or feel intimidated by her threats. Although the anxiety lingered, I couldn't give her the satisfaction of seeing me shaken.Her furious eyes held me in their grasp and even though she didn't say a word to me, her silence spoke louder than her actions. I'm still curious about what she'd do to me since I refuse to regard her threats.Even as

Chapter 122. Confronting The Truth

Ethan's POV~My grip on the steering wheel tightened involuntarily as my car hit a pothole, jolting me back to reality. I inhaled sharply as I relaxed my shoulders, trying to shake off the tension that had been building all day. Even when my eyes were on the road as I drove, I'd been distracted and my mind kept wandering back to the conversation I had with the woman this morning. Suddenly, a loud horn blared from behind, piercing the silence and snapping me back to attention. I swallowed hard, my knuckles turning white as I clutched the wheel tightly. After checking the rearview mirror, I returned my attention back to the rearview mirror. Driving away from the pothole, I glanced at my wristwatch just to check the time. It was almost seven and the sun had dipped below the horizon.I sighed as I stamped on the gas pedal and accelerated. My brows furrowed slightly as I looked ahead, overtaking the rest of the cars beside me. It's been an hour since jasmine left the hospital before me. I

Chapter 123. Deceit uncovered.

Ethan's POV~>My car came to a gentle halt as I parked it at our dimly lit garage. The soft hum of the engine faded into the silence. After withdrawing the key from the ignition, I alighted and stepped out into the cool evening air. I inhaled sharply as I took slow strides towards the door, feeling the weight of the day slowly lifting off my shoulder. My steps were light as I stepped onto the porch. Standing firmly in front of the door, I looked up, my jaw tightening as I swallowed hard. I raised my hand slightly and pressed the doorbell and a soft chime echoed within the house. I waited for a while, hoping Jasmine would answer but she didn't.I narrowed my eyes in suspicion. Wasn't she at home? Didn't she return home when she left the hospital a while ago?Clenching my fists, I reached for my phone and went through my contact log. I hovered my thumb over the screen, ready to swipe left with a gentle slide when the door opened. I looked up at our oldest maid, Maria.She bowed politel

Chapter 124. A facade

Ethan's POV~>I remained where I stood stock-still, didn't budge, just remained rooted to the spot, my eyes still fixed on Jasmine who was unaware of my presence. She paced around, her steps light and relaxed. Her voice was low and filled with caution as she continued giving instructions to whoever it was she was talking to. My ears listened intently and I noticed her frequent glances at the window. She moved closer, standing firm on her toes as she stretched forward to get a better viewI crossed my arms, my face filled with curiosity. I didn't dare move or say a word for fear of giving away my presence. Jasmine's fingers trailed every surface but her eyes were still fixed on the window. It was as if she was keeping an eye on or waiting for someone because her gaze wasn't just on the window, it was on the gate outside.What if she was keeping an eye on the gate so she would know when I'd return? Or was she expecting someone?“Do everything I asked you to do. I don't want to see a tr

Chapter 1245. Still no evidence.

Scarlett’s POV ~Scarlett felt reinvigorated after the night's rest. Her eyes fluttered open as she woke up. She spread her arms, and let out a satisfied sigh, arching her back in a languid stretch. The sun rays streamed through the large window, casting a warm glow over the space, making it feel even brighter and welcoming. The Colorful and fluorescent lights accentuated the high-end furnishings and finishes that are typical of VIP wards. Scarlett felt a sense of comfort, warmth and serenity as her gaze drifted towards the bunk beds on the large bed on the other side of the room. Her twin's bed. Neither of them were on the bed and she believed they might be in the living room, watching their favourite animation. Tears prickled her as several emotions overwhelmed her. She had always imagined her twins reuniting and she couldn't believe this was really happening. They're great friends and she was certain they'd be happier after discovering they'd been siblings all along. Scarlett was

Chapter 126. Someone familiar

Third POV ~After a lengthy conversation with the cops, Scarlett finally returned to the hospital. Her face twisted in frustration as she stepped into the elevator. The doors slid shut and a thick silence enveloped her. Furious, she pressed the button for her floor, hoping to see Dylan so she could explain everything to him. She wasn't happy with how the case was being handled, feeling like the investigation was dragging on with no real leads, and she couldn't shake the feeling that Jasmine was somehow involved, despite her supposed alibi. Scarlett crossed her arms and watched as the elevator lurched into motion. After some minutes, the door opened, revealing the last floor to her VIP ward. She breathed in relief, momentarily escaping the chaos inside. As she stepped outside, the cool evening air enveloped her, easing the tension in her mind. Scarlett’s heels clicked against the polished floor as she walked over to the designated section for her ward. As she dipped her hand into her

Chapter 127. Hiding Something

Third POV ~After a prolonged silence, Dylan wiped his forehead with the back of his palm. His brows furrowed, face twisted in confusion as he asked, “Did you see anyone before coming?”“Yes, I saw someone, a lady. But –” I paused, collecting my breath. Dylan's eyes narrowed and his voice came out too quickly, a little too sharply as he asked, “What are you talking about, Scarlett. I think you're just overthinking things because no one came here.”The tension in Dylan's shoulders and the stiffness in his posture give away his unease despite his attempts to remain calm. “No. I'm not overthinking things, Dylan. I'm sure I saw a lady while coming here. Maybe—” Scarlett’s glances around, her words hanging in the air, making Dylan even more uncomfortable. The casual smile he wore began to feel like a mask, straining to stay in place as her words dripped with conviction. He knew Scarlett was starting to get suspicious.Dylan was tense but he tried to remain calm, hoping Scarlett wouldn'

Chapter 128. Obsessed Exs

The cops, scattered around the crime scene, barely glanced up, their faces lit only by the faint glow of their flashlights. Dylan sighed, digging into his pocket to retrieve his phone. The screen lit up with Hilary's name, and a mix of emotions swirled in his chest.He picked up, his voice low as he spoke with bare interest. "Hi, Hilary.”"Dylan, don't forget where we're supposed to meet," Hilary's voice came through, laced with an urgency that Dylan couldn't ignore.He rubbed his temples, feeling the weight of the day bearing down on him. "I haven't forgotten," he replied, trying to keep his tone even."Good. I'll see you soon, then," Hilary said before the line went dead.Dylan slipped the phone back into his pocket, his eyes scanning the room. The cops were wrapping up, their movements methodical. He turned to one of them, a seasoned detective with a weary look. "I need to go. Something urgent,

Their bodies reeked of sweat, and desires, the air thick with the scent of their passion. Hilary's hair was damp with sweat. She smiled gently as she wrapped her legs around Dylan's waist, her eyes fixed with lust and satisfaction. Sliding her fingers into his hair, she gently massaged the scalp and whispered, “How do you feel?” Dylan didn't respond. He struggled to keep up with his smile but his face told a different story, his eyes betraying the regret he tried to conceal. Hilary's eyes flashed with satisfaction, her fingers running down Dylan's chest, tracing the contours of his muscles. She loved the warmth of his skin and the gentle thrum of his heartbeat.
