Emily's POV ~Old memories resurface as the video continues to roll. A knot formed in my stomach as everyone's intense gaze settled on me. My fist clenched as I looked away, my confidence deflating. Charlotte’s eyes went wide as she took in the scene of the video, trying to act shocked when it was clear that she did it on purpose.I clenched my fist when I recalled everything that happened in the past and how I was labeled as a betrayal because of those unfounded accusations and false evidence someone took of me and Alaric. The photos Ethan flung at me at the hospital after I'd conceived along with this video caused our divorce. Not only was I framed, broken, my reputation was left in tatters. Now that I've risen to the top, rebuilt my career, and thought I'd finally put the past behind me, Charlotte decided to pull the rug from under me with that video I didn't have to be told. I'm certain she did this intentionally. It's obvious.. Those welcoming fake smiles she gave me, and her s

Ethan's POV ~Everything that happened was a blur of chaos. I stood at the entrance of the hall used for the party, my gaze fixed on Scarlett as she slid into her car seat. In the twinkle of an eye, she's gone. The car sped off, leaving the valet attendants and curious onlookers in its dust, the sound of screeching tires echoing through the night air. Charlotte stumbled, her eyes fixed on the car as it disappeared into the night, its taillights fading into the distance.She clutched her chest and cried out, her face etched with guilt. Alaric, whose eyes were still on the direction the car went, looked away, a mixture of emotions crossing his face..Clenching his fist, he exhaled, his breath coming out in ragged breaths. The reporters swarmed around the party's entrance, trying to get a statement from other guests.I dipped my hand into my pocket and titled my head, watching them clamour for a statement about the dramatic exit.“What exactly is going on?! Is this even a party?” A petit

Third POV ~Sometimes, life surprises us with moments that change everything…..Dylan had invited Scarlett for a tour in his museum that housed a collection of his most treasured awards. As they stepped out of the sleek Rolls-Royce, people walking around halted to a spot, their eyes filled with excitement as they stared at the duo..Paparazzi clamoured around, getting excited to take a picture of the two.“Thanks,” Scarlett whispered, as she looked up at Dylan who was dressed in a tailored navy suit.A crisp white shirt complimented the suit and a slim silver watch gleamed on his wrist.“I hope you enjoyed the ride,” He replied, his piercing blue eyes sparkling with warmth as he stared at Scarlett who was dressed in a stunning black dress that hugged her curves in the right places.“I did enjoy the ride.” Scarlet replied walking alongside him with their eyes fixed on the grand museum.People were amused to see them and some were jealous of their closeness. Murmurs ensued as their fans

Ethan's POV ~Confusion scrawled across my features, my fingers trembling as I typed on the keyboard, going through the photographs which appeared to be edited. I could feel my heart racing, beads of sweat trickling down my spine as the truth stared right at my face.What if Scarlet was actually innocent? What if she and Alaric never had any hidden relationship?I felt a mix of emotions as I thought back to the day I had confronted Scarlett. I could see the pain and hurt in her eyes.What if she was indeed innocent? Could she? “This… is complicated.” I whispered, letting out a deep sigh.“Are there more to this? And why will Jasmine have this on her laptop?” I asked, wondering what else could have been fabricated.I zoomed in on the photo, taking note of the shadows, which didn't match up.I saw different folders saved with different names. Just as I was about to open one of them, the sound of the door opening caught my attention.Jasmine. She smiled as she approached me, looking da

Scarlett’s POV ~Alaric's silence to my question made me intrigued and concerned. It made me curious about his thoughts and I wondered if he was avoiding the topic. “Do you have any clue about their past relationship?” I asked, my voice barely audible, a mix of concern and curiosity on my face.I swallowed hard as I awaited Alaric's response.“You were once a close friend to Ethan right? And you both attended the same college. You should know those he was acquainted with. What was his relationship with Dylan?” “They were once friends. I mean, they were best friends before I stepped into the picture. Something happened and they stopped being so close like they once were.” Alaric explained, his voice guarded as if he was revealing more than he intended to.My brows creased slightly as I leaned against the wall, my curiosity piqued to the hint of mystery surrounding Dylan and Ethan's past.“Did Dylan tell you this?” Alaric asked. Shoving a finger into my hair, I heaved a deep breath a
