Scarlett's POV ~“So you're trying to say, Dylan and Ethan have once been friends?” McKenzie asked, her face etched with curiosity.“Yes, granny.”“This is surprising. But you know they're both movie stars so it's possible they're friends. It's not something strange. Most actors are acquainted with each other.”“That's not the type I'm referring to, grandma. Actors might be acquainted but They're more of business partners. I mean, Dylan and Ethan have once been best friends in college. They're no longer together anyways and that was because there was a story behind it. He never mentioned it to Ms and he never even acted like they were once close.”“How did you get to know?”“Alaric told me. I - I saw a picture of Dylan and Ethan in his museum. I wondered why he kept a picture of them together when they're no longer friends..”“Did Alaric tell you the reason they quit being friends?” McKenzie asked curiously.I paced back and forth and began explaining everything to her. Everything A

Scarlett's POVMy phone chimed, interrupting the moment.Dylan leaned off me, his gaze drifting towards my bag where the sound was coming from.With a nod, he settled on his chair and grasped the steering wheel, his cheeks flushed from embarrassment.I felt relieved, I just didn't know why but I was a little glad the call came in, right just in time.Without hesitating, I reached for my phone with curious eyes.McKenzie…. My grandma.I let out a faint sigh, already having a hint at what she wanted to say.Dylan adjusted the rearview mirror and settled back in his chair. He started the ignition and planted a firm foot on the gas pedal.As he sped off out of the courtyard and across the road, he swerved in a certain direction, causing me to tilt slightly. I grabbed my seat with my left hand, holding onto my phone with my right hand.Once the road was straight, I managed to sit back in position and then, I took a chance to pick the call.“Hello, grandma,” I whispered, ensuring I wasn't

Author's POV~>Jasmine walked through the boutique, flinging clothes to her assistant by her side as she boredly scanned the racks for anything else that would catch her eye, when her eyes settled on a sleek black gown on a mannequin. Finally, she thought as she reached out to it. There was something worthy of her attention.Just then, another hand settled on the dress before her.“Excuse you?” Jasmine snapped angrily, turning her attention to the lady.“What do you mean excuse me?” the lady retorted angrily, taking off her sunglasses.Jasmine’s look of irritation relaxed as she recognized the woman in front of her. “Charlotte?” she greeted the blonde woman with a fake smileCharlotte smiled back, her smile even faker. “Jasmine? What the hell, I wasn’t expecting to run into you here.”“Oh you know what they say,” Jasmine shrugged, her hand still possessively on the mannequin. “It’s a small world.”“Yeah,” Charlotte agreed, glancing at the dress. “I didn’t know we had such similar tas

Author's POV~ Jasmine’s fingers trembled like it was absorbing electric charges, she set her phone down on the marble kitchen counter as her mind raced to figure out what to do. The sun was already waving goodbye for the day, turning the vibrant city in an orange and crimson hue. It was a beautiful sight, but she didn't notice nor care. Not when her heart pounded hard against her chest at the revelation of Ethan’s plan. It was pretty much crystal clear to her, and it chilled her to her core. Ethan was getting too close to the truth about Scarlett and Alaric, too freaking close to ruining everything they had carefully built… or rather, everything she was committed to protect at all cost. Jasmine hesitated for a second before she turned around to face him, adorning her face with a fake smile, a tight mask she hopes covers the tension underneath. “I got a message from my dad,” she said casually. “It’s urgent. He wants to see me tonight. I hope it is just family stuff and nothi

Author’s POV~A triumphant smile tugged at Jasmine's lip as she watched Ethan exit the hotel in frustration, his face etched with disappointment. His fists were clenched, his jaw tight with his eyes as cold as ever. Her grip on the steering wheel tightened, her eyes sparkling with satisfaction with a sense of victory washing over her. She felt– happy, relieved, victorious that her perfect plan succeeded.Her eyes traced Ethan's movements, watching him dawdle to his car, each step carrying a weight of anger and disappointment.She wasn't close by; she was in her car which was parked at a side on the other road– adjacent to the hotel.Ethan had no clue that she had followed him all the way to the hotel to watch how things turned out.Each sigh, each step he took towards his car, each sulken expression and hint of disappointment in his eyes only seemed to fuel her sense of triumph and satisfaction.As she reclined visibly relaxed on her chair, she smirked, her confidence growing as she
