Chapter 111 The Day That Came

Scarlett’s POV The day I had feared, the day I had done everything to avoid, finally arrived. The truth I had buried so deeply was no longer just mine to carry. It had come to light, and not in some quiet, private conversation, but in front of everyone. I never imagined it would be Katelyn who uncovered it. Not her. I thought I had been careful. I thought I had covered every trace. I had spent years burying that truth under rehearsed lies and selective silence. But she found it anyway.She didn’t waste time or sugarcoat her words. She came in like a storm, heels striking the floor with purpose, voice cutting through the room like a blade. And just like that, my carefully constructed illusion crumbled at my feet.As soon as the initial shock wore off from her dramatic entrance and brutal accusation, all eyes turned to me. The room felt like it was spinning, shrinking. I could feel every gaze like a hot brand against my skin, burning through my clothes, exposing every hidden secr

Chapter 112 Ethan：“Scarlett，I never want to see you again！ ”

Scarlett’s POVThe moment I confessed, silence wrapped around the room like a noose. My father didn’t say a word. He just blinked at me, once, twice, then, without warning, his knees gave out. He collapsed onto the armchair behind him, face pale and drawn, hands trembling at his sides.“Dad!” Derek shouted, rushing forward to steady him. “Breathe. It’s okay, just… breathe.”I stood frozen in place. My hands hung limply at my sides. I had no right to go to him, no right to offer comfort now.Marcus stared at me with eyes I didn’t recognize, no warmth, no familiarity. Only the look of a man seeing his daughter for the first time and realizing he didn’t know all of her at all.Derek turned his attention to me. His arm, which had once protected me, which had pulled me into hugs in our childhood, dropped to his sides like they weighed a thousand pounds.“Why?” he whispered. “Scarlett… why would you hide something like this? A child? Your own child?”“I” My voice cracked, so I swallowed

Chapter 113 Past：Scarlett & Brian

Brian’s POVI waited quietly in Katelyns newspaper office, the clock ticking louder with each passing second. The sun was shining, and the room was bathed in the bright, orange hue from the windows. The front door finally opened.Katelyn stepped inside, dressed in her sharp navy blazer and tailored slacks in the office. She set her bag down with quiet precision, but the moment our eyes met, I could see it, something was off. Her posture was composed, her movements controlled, but her eyes were red and slightly swollen. Not from fatigue. From holding back everything she couldn’t show out. I stood. “Katelyn…”She shook her head slightly and offered a faint smile. “I just needed time to think. To clear my head.”“I’m sorry,” I said quietly, unsure where the words even came from. “I don’t know what happened out there, but I’m sorry for any part of it I caused.”Katelyn sat down at the table and rubbed her hands together like she was trying to warm them, though the weather wasn’t cold

Chapter 114 What Still Hurts

Katelyn’s POVAn hour after Brian left, I was still at the office, alone. The hum of the air conditioner buzzed softly in the background, and outside, the city with its usual activities of the day.I stared blankly at my computer screen, not really seeing it. My phone buzzed a few times, notifications, messages, things I didn’t care to check.Earlier that evening, I had asked Lucas if he could stay overnight at my parents’ house. He didn’t even hesitate. “Sure, Mommy,” he had said, giving me a hug before dashing off with his backpack. I hadn’t explained much, just told him I had a lot of work to do. It wasn’t a lie. I did have work. Work of the heart. Work of the mind.Scarlett. The name alone made my throat tighten.Tessa’s mother.I still couldn’t understand it. How someone like Scarlett, cold, ambitious, calculating, could abandon a child. Not just any child, but Tessa. Sweet, sensitive, brilliant Tessa.My thoughts were interrupted when my phone lit up again. Rachel.I hesitated

Chapter 115 When the curtain fall

Scarlett’s POVI stood downstairs outside Katelyn’s newspaper office, hiding behind a car parked across the street, my eyes fixed on the tall glass window. The light inside the room spilled out warmly onto the pavement, a cruel contrast to the cold curling in my chest.Then I saw him.Ethan.He was holding her.His arms wrapped around Katelyn like she was something precious, fragile, irreplaceable.My breath caught. My nails dug deep into my palms, sharp enough to break skin.No.He was supposed to be mine.He had always been mine.And yet, there he stood, his face buried against her hair, his hand stroking her back with a gentleness that used to belong to me. A storm rose in my chest. At first it was disbelief. Then fury.That sight, that woman in his arms, tore something open inside me. I wanted to scream, to break through the window and rip her away from him.She wasn’t supposed to win. She wasn’t supposed to be standing there, basking in his affection like she had earned it. Li

Chapter 116 The Edge of Ruin

Scarlett’s POV I sat alone on the park bench, staring at the fading sunlight filtering through the trees. The warmth in the air didn’t reach me. I was cold inside, numb, hollow, unraveling.My mind was a whirlwind of anger, fear, and desperation. Rage pulsed beneath my skin like a second heartbeat. Ethan’s rejection. Brian’s threat. Marcus and Derek turning their backs on me. Everything was falling apart, and no one cared. No one lifted a finger to help me.I gripped my phone tightly, my knuckles white, and stared at the name on the screen for a few long seconds.Harland.With no one left to turn to, I dialed Harland’s number.It only rang once.His voice was calm and calculated as ever when he answered. “Scarlett. I wondered when you’d call.”I straightened on the bench, forcing my voice to sound composed. “I have information for you,” I said.My voice steady despite the storm inside me. “Rachel Company is involved in smuggling original documents. I can give you the details.”Har

Chapter 117 Kidnapped: Scarlett and Katelyn

Katelyn’s POV I woke up groggy and disoriented, my head pounding like I’d been dropped from a height. Cold air bit at my skin, and as I tried to move, a sharp pain shot through my wrists.I was tied up.Thick rope bound my hands tightly behind my back, cutting into my skin. My ankles were also restrained, and I could feel the rough concrete beneath me. I tried to sit up, but the ache in my muscles made it hard to shift. My surroundings slowly came into focus.It was an old warehouse. Abandoned. The walls were cracked, streaked with grime. The air was thick with the smell of mildew, oil, and dust. Rusted tools and rotting pallets littered the ground. Dim light seeped in through broken slats above.Across from me, Scarlett was tied up too, ropes binding her arms in front, her legs twisted to the side as she leaned against a splintered crate. Her makeup was smeared, mascara streaks running down her cheeks. Her hair was tangled and her lip slightly swollen. She was shaking, her br

Chapter 118 The One Who Stayed

Derek’s POVI arrived at the warehouse just before sunset, the briefcase of money clutched tightly in my hand. The area was quiet, too quiet. Rusted metal structures loomed around me like skeletons, casting long shadows over cracked pavement. My heart thudded against my ribs, a mix of fear and adrenaline rushing through me.As I stepped inside, the thick air hit me like a wall, dust, oil, and something sour I couldn’t name. My eyes adjusted slowly to the dim light filtering through the slats above. Then I saw them.Scarlett was crouched on the floor, her hands still bound, tear-streaked face lifted toward me the second I stepped in. Her eyes widened with disbelief, then pure relief. “Derek!” she cried.One of the kidnappers stood beside her, gun lazily in hand, while the other approached me with a stiff, emotionless face. “Money first,” he barked.I didn’t waste time. I tossed the briefcase down, and it clicked open on impact. Bundles of cash lined the inside, exactly as promised,

Chapter 119 I thought I was dead

Katelyn’s POVI thought I was dead.I lay on the cold warehouse floor, my arms still raw from the ropes that had bound me for hours. My body ached, my mouth was dry, and my eyes stung with the salt of dried tears. But more than anything, it was the silence that haunted me now, the kind that comes after betrayal.Derek had left me.He came, he saw me tied up, helpless, and he walked away. Just like that. Like I meant nothing. Like I was just some background piece in someone else’s story.The ropes around my ankles had been loosened a little, probably from my constant struggling, but I couldn’t move. My strength had bled out with every moment that passed.I was still in shock, trying to process how easily he had chosen Scarlett, how casually he had ignored me, when the footsteps returned.Two of the men walked over, one of them cracking his knuckles, the other sneering as he dragged a chair closer.“She’s still here?” the taller one muttered. “I thought they’d come back for her.”The

Chapter 120 What Love Leaves Behind

Katelyn’s POVThree months had passed since the kidnapping.Three months since I lay bruised and broken on a warehouse floor, believing I’d been abandoned.But Ethan proved me wrong.Ever since then, he hadn’t let a single day pass without checking on me.Some days he brought flowers. Other days it was just takeout and that soft, worried look in his eyes that told me he still hadn’t forgiven himself for being late.It was in the way he reached for my hand without thinking. The way he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking.Like he was afraid I’d vanish again.He didn’t speak of Scarlett. Not once.Not even a hint of her name passed his lips.It was as if she belonged to a different life now. One he had no desire to revisit.The man who had once seemed like a ghost of my past was suddenly everywhere, helping me walk when my legs were still sore, bringing Lucas his favorite dinosaur toys, laughing with us in the kitchen as if he’d always belonged.And maybe… he did.There were time
