HEARTS ACROSS WORLDS のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Scarlet pretended to sleep while she left Fateball on her shoulder to monitor everything that was going on around her. Fateball was invisible to everyone except her anyway. However, what she got made her tremble for a moment, and she nearly alerted Lyn. 'You mean she arranged a gang at her house waiting for me?' She asked in disbelief. Fateball nodded even though it knew Scarlet couldn't see. It found it hard to believe that humans could be so wicked. "Her father owes the gang a few thousand dollars, and they've been unable to pay. She asked the host for this morning before we crossed over..." 'But she stopped after all the changes that occurred with my coming over, right?' Scarlet asked. "You're right," Fateball replied. "So, now, she decides to give you to them as payment, and when they impregnate you, you won't have a choice but to stay with them to cover up your shame." Scarlet scoffed. "Stay with them? Isn't that nonsense? With my family's power and status,

Lyn handed her the wipe. "What do you need it for?" She hadn't asked earlier because she was anxious, but seeing that Scarlet had already fallen into her trap. She felt like nothing was stopping her anymore. Scarlet dropped the cup, which had only a little juice in it, and crossed her legs. She took the wipe from her and gently wiped her hand. "I slapped Klaus earlier, and the feeling still makes me uncomfortable. My heart aches..." She raised her already slightly reddened eyes. "Do you think I went too far? Maybe I shouldn't have slapped him?" Her voice was low and filled with sadness. Lyn's lips twitched. She really wanted to curse the fool before her, but knowing that she wouldn't have to see her again after today, she forced a smile on her face. "You didn't. I'm sure Klaus understands." She replied. Scarlet nodded with pursed lips, and she blinked, trying hard to hold her tears. Lyn saw that it would take a while for the drug to kick in, so she decided to do someth

Klaus shook his head. "Nothing. I was only worried about you." He replied. Scarlet nodded and lowered her head to wipe her desk. "What's it?" Her voice turned cold. But it seemed Klaus was too lost to notice the change. His expression remained flustered as he stared at Scarlet. "You saw what was posted on the forum, right?" He asked. Scarlet nodded. "I saw it." Her tone was low. Klaus' face brightened. This was exactly what he hoped for. If he had a choice, he would have loved to send the video to Scarlet alone and wouldn't have broadcast it that way. But he would hate to let Scarlet know that he made such a video on his phone and knowing Scarlet, she might even defend Lyn from him. To win back Scarlet, he had to go all out. "That girl, Lyn, she's a whore. I swear she seduced me yesterday. I really didn't want to do it. I'm loyal to you, Scarlet, and I hope you can see my heart." He persuaded. Scarlet bit the corner of her mouth. The pain brought tears to her ey

Cyn led Scarlet to the bed to rest. The rain had been falling for an hour already and while he might not have minded to sleep in the VIP room for the night, he didn't think it was proper to stay in a confined space with a woman. But for some reason, he didn't feel irritated. One of the things that confused him since he met Scarlet. He always wondered why Scarlet was different from other women. No lady had affected him the way Scarlet did... It was strange. But Cyn wasn't allowed to think too much as the rain poured more heavily. Scarlet was starting to shiver. Her brows knitted as she hugged her school uniform close to her skin. 'Fateball, why are my shivering so much? I used to love cold so much.' Scarlet felt like crying. She had never been scared of cold and instead hated heat with passion, but at the moment, she was shivering so much that her teeth were chattering. Fateball floated beside her. "This is not your body. The original host was born in winter,

Scarlet's mother had her eyes wide open. She couldn't believe what she heard. She looked at her daughter and shook her head. Maybe she heard wrong... "Baby, what did you say?" She asked with a forced smile. Scarlet opened her eyes. Her whole being was nervous as she tried not to look at her mother. The shadow of the past haunted her. What her original parents could have done to her at this moment kept playing in her head, and she paled. "I... I have someone I like and I want to marry him." She stuttered out. She knew she had no choice now. She already gave Cyn her word, and she wouldn't go back on it. Scarlet had her head lowered as she waited for her mother's reply. After a while, she heard the mother's cough. "I will talk to your father about this. But we need to see the guy first." The mother said. Scarlet was stunned. Her lips parted in a low gasp, and she looked on in disbelief. Looking at her mother again, she realized the woman still had a smile on her
