CHAPTER 222Scarlett I don't know why Melissa was so invested in my pregnancy. It was as if having Aldric wasn't enough. I made my way to the restroom while Zoe followed to make sure I was OK. I thought only a small number of people were going to attend but unexpected guests came too. Apart from Melissa, Daniel was trying his best to get to me. I wanted nothing to do with that man.I made my way out of the restroom and then asked my PA to get my purse since I wanted to leave. I couldn't stay there any longer. I made my way to the car and got in just as Zoe was about to get it Daniel ran to hold the door.“Scarlett please wait," he said while Zoe just rolled her eyes.“What do you want?" I responded.“It's nothing bad Scarlett. I just want us to talk please." “I've got to get going, Daniel. It's late and—”"Please?” he looked at me."See me at the office,” I answered and Zoe was about to burst in shock."Did you just say he can come by the office?” she asked.“I had no choice. He w

CHAPTER 224Scarlett I was in the garden with everyone when Aldric's Mom showed up again. I didn't even feel the need to look at her with bad eyes. One could tell that she was really sorry for everything that she had done. In her hands was a basket that had some flowers and fruits. “Scarlett, my child, I brought you and the babies this," she said, handing it to me, and I gladly took the basket. “Thank you Mrs. Stone," I smiled before she asked me to call her mother. That would be nice but I wasn't used to that yet. We asked her to take a seat and join our little conversation. It later became obvious that she and Aunt had more knowledge on the topic. Time began to fly so fast that my aunt pulled Zoe, Gina, and Praisely away so that they could help her cook while I remained with Aldric's Mom. But Gina was just going for snacks.There was silence for a few minutes after they had left before I looked up and realized that Mrs. Stone was looking at me strongly. It was as if she wante

CHAPTER 226Melissa Karina walked into the room with her arms crossed. I didn't understand what she was doing there, but one thing was for certain: trouble was stirred.“Babe what's going on?" I asked Aldric with a confused look on my face.“You tell me Melissa," he answered with a cold expression.“I told you that you would regret messing with me right? Now look at you," Karina smiled while I pretended not to know about anything.“Guard!" Aldric said and then his driver walked in. The same man whose face looked like that of the person who knew about what I did to Elias.“Yes, sir," the man said as he walked in.“Do you know this face, Melissa?" Aldric asked me.“Babe what are you saying? This is your driver right?" I responded.“Melissa, I'm not playing with you. Do you remember this man from the day you murdered my brother!” Aldric shouted, and I knew trouble was up, and I was far from my defenses."No I…I don't know him or what you're talking about," I stood my ground.“Great," Al

CHAPTER 228Aldric I had to make a very difficult decision after I told my mother about Melissa being behind my brother's murder. We all wanted justice therefore united to make everything so convincing that Melissa wouldn't even know that I was playing her.Scarlett and I made up the night before I started devoting all my attention to Melissa. I knew everything would work out as long as we all stuck to the plan.The days and energy I spent trying to cage Melissa were just the worst. I couldn't even picture myself wanting her in my life. She tried to cover her scales so deeply, but I was vigilant throughout everything.Her phone calls with Eva, Daniel, Damien, and Nia. I was listening to everything while she was under the impression that I was fast asleep. The worst part was remembering that I was spending nights next to my brother's murderer. It sometimes just made me want to give her a hot slap but I didn't want to ruin the surprise.With every opportunity I had, I tapped her phone
