Ethan's POV My thoughts were shattered by the question Hudson threw at me. “But sir, it would be difficult to get the details about Scarlett. According to the Harpers, she left them the moment she discovered she was adopted and there was no news of her whereabouts..”Clenching my fist, I exhaled before responding, my voice low and authoritative, “I don't care, Hudson. Find every fucking details about her life for those past years. I want to know if she's only putting on some shows and trying to be associated with them for publicity or other reasons. Let's see it as a means of uncovering the authenticity of her connections to the Scotts.”“Alright, Me Ethan. I'll do my best.” “Better…” I mumbled before ending the call and sliding the phone aside.Grabbing the steering wheel, I exhaled once more as my mind swirled with several thoughts.“Pull yourself together, Ethan. Let's forget about Scarlett and focus on the appointment we have with Dylan.”With that, I drove off across the stree

Scarlett’s POVI swallowed hard as Alaric's intense gaze lingered on me. I couldn't move; my legs seemed to be replaced with a lead of bricks. His lips curled upwards into an enigmatic smile, and even though I felt at ease around him, I couldn't help but be reminded of the past. He was a very good friend of Ethan, but I've been accused of having an affair with him.And now that he showed up at today's event, Ethan seemed to be watching us both like a hawk, his eyes narrowing as he tried to read between the lines. Heck! I'm not supposed to care, or be concerned about that since he chose to believe those lies. But a part of me was eager to correct everything, to show everyone that there is absolutely nothing going on between me and Alaric.It's been such a long time since I set my eyes on Alaric. It's been ages since we last spoke and he had no clue about my identity as the Scott's Heiress or my return to the city.“You're - you're back, Scarlett.” Alaric eyes shone with surprise as

Scarlet’s POV~McKenzie's expression changed from curiosity to concern. Her brows creased slightly as she reflected on what I had said.“Why do you want to compensate them?” She asked in a gentle tone, her voice laced with curiosity.“They didn't exactly treat you with kindness. Why would you want to reward them for that?”I gave her hand a gentle squeeze, trying to keep my smile from faltering. “I just want to show them that I've risen above their cruelty. I want to prove to myself that I'm not bitter, that I can let go, plus…”I paused, nibbling at my lower lips with a thick silence enveloping us.“Let's just see it as a way of settling them and closing a chapter in my life,”McKenzie exhaled deeply, her shoulders sagging. Reaching for my cheeks, she gave it a gentle stroke and said, “I’m just worried that they might open old wounds and create more problems for you, my dear,”Shaking my head, I countered politely, “No, granny. They won't. I just want to give them this last honor and

Scarlett's POV~My eyes flashed with rage as Jasmine's condescending words sliced through my heart, a mix of scorn and amusement on her face. The silence and tension stretched between us like razor wire.Her words hung heavily like a challenge, daring to see my reaction and brokenness but I tried to bite back a retort. Through gnashed teeth, I shot back, “What are you saying, jasmine? What do you gain by saying this in front of my son?”Her eyes lit with excitement and then, her lips curled into a sinister smile. As she reached for my son's hand, she pulled him closer to herself, her eyes flashing with triumph.“You have no right to call him your son, Scarlett. Have you forgotten? Or should I remind you that you've signed the parental right of your son away to Ethan. That means you have no legal ties to him.”Her words dripped like a venom, a raw poison that consumed her.Eric's face twisted between curiosity and confusion. His gaze flicked between me and Jasmine as he watched the d

Ethan's POV ~I was lost in thoughts, every single word Scarlett said echoed in my mind, leaving me reeling and questioning everything. A wave of emotions washed over me and for a moment, I wondered if I had gone too far with my words. I could tell she was hurt with what I said. It was obvious. Those tears that clung to her eyes like a fragile veil, and how she reacted with calmness that belied her hurt..“Ethan, let's go. Don't let what she said bother you. She's such a menace. I wish we never crossed paths with her today. Heck, I wished Ethan never got to see her.” Jasmine’s words cut through the silence, her face twisted in disgust.Even as I stared at her face, I couldn't grab what she was saying because my thoughts were on Scarlett. I felt somewhat…. Guilty.I shouldn't have said what I said back then. “Ethan..” “Ethan…” Jasmine called the second time, her voice going an octave higher. Her touch on my arm grabbed my attention and I exhaled deeply as I turned to face her.“You
