Chapter 1

Scarlet POV:It was already 10 p.m., and Henry had still not gotten back from work, causing me to worry. I tried to call him several times, but he wasn’t picking up his calls, which made me very worried. He never took this long to pick up my calls, and whenever he had to stay out late, he would always inform me beforehand. I’m not one to overthink, but for some reason, I had a bad feeling that something wasn’t right, and it made me restless. I made up my mind to head to his office. After driving for about half an hour, my black sedan car finally came to a halt in front of my husband’s company.I walked into the company and noticed that there weren’t that many people around, but I had expected it since it was already past 10 p.m., and most of the employees would have gone home by this time, except the security guards.I arrived in front of his office and slowly turned the doorknob, just in case Henry was busy in his office and didn’t want to be interrupted.“Ahh. Harder, baby. Keep pou

Chapter 2

My legs wobbled, my balance faltered, and my emotions felt like a chaotic storm, but I refused to turn back and leave without confronting the family that had betrayed me.I knew it was time to stop avoiding the inevitable. Despite my determination to have nothing to do with this family ever again, I couldn’t escape confronting them forever. Even though I understood deep down that it might not change anything, I needed closure, a resolution to the torment inside my mind.Standing in front of my family home, a place I hadn’t visited in three months and had sworn never to return to, I took a deep breath before walking through the gate and towards the front door. Every step felt like a challenge, a battle against the anger and humiliation I carried within.Inside, my father’s familiar voice greeted me, but the surprise in his expression suggested he wasn’t thrilled to see me so suddenly.“Scarlet!” he gasped.“Hello, Dad,” I replied, my voice devoid of any emotion. Despite the rush of emo

Chapter 3

Scarlet used to think that she was someone who couldn’t be angry for too long, but after the situation with Emily and Henry, she had come to realize that she had just never been in a situation where she needed to be angry for a long time.Currently, she was watching Emily walk down the altar to where Henry stood with a massive smile on his face, and every fiber of her being was boiling with so much anger that she felt like she could explode at any moment.She wanted to avoid standing out too much, so she made sure to wear something casual that wouldn’t draw any attention to her because the last thing she wanted was to get caught in this place. She didn’t even want to imagine the look people would have on their faces when they saw her there, attending her sister’s and her ex-husband’s wedding.She knew she was already a laughingstock to many people, but she certainly wasn’t ready to get caught and watch them laugh in her face.The fact that nobody seemed to see anything wrong with what

Chapter 4

Scarlet had been at the wedding hall just a few minutes ago, and now she found herself seated in the backseat of a black Mercedes-Benz SUV, with an unbelievably beautiful yet unfamiliar man seated right next to her.She would have focused on how crazily attractive he was if she wasn’t so scared of getting kidnapped at this moment.“You better have a very good explanation for bringing me here, or else, I won’t hesitate to report you to the authorities for dragging me against my will and forcefully making me sit in your car,” she hissed, reminding herself that he was a stranger and that she might be getting kidnapped right now. “In case you don’t know what that means, it means that I’ll have you arrested for kidnapping,” she snapped, watching him with curious eyes.The car was parked in a space with dim lighting, so she couldn’t make out his features as clearly as she wanted to. She could only pick up on the fact that he had short black hair and pretty green eyes, which she noticed when

“Did anything you just said make any sense to you at all?” I asked with a look of disbelief on my face.“What part doesn’t make sense to you?” he responded.I scoffed.“Are you trying to pretend like you don’t see anything wrong with what you just said? What do you mean by saying you want to use me? How did that sentence even make any sense to you?” I retorted, wondering if he was stupid or just pretending to be.He mentioned that he wanted me to use him for my revenge and that he’d use me as well, and never in my life had I heard a statement that confusing.“I can see why you would think that, but allow me to explain,” he replied, not wanting me to think he was a weird man. “Don’t ask me how, but I know everything that happened between you and your ex-husband Henry, and I also know that you want nothing more than to have your revenge. Now, as someone who sympathizes with you, I want to help you get your revenge,” he explained, and I brows furrowed in confusion.“Let me get this, Mr.

Chapter 6

It had been almost four days since Scarlet met Ryan, and the encounter had occupied her thoughts continuously. As much as she acknowledged that accepting his offer was risky and embarrassing, she couldn’t help but contemplate the potential benefits of his proposal.If there was one thing she had to concede, Ryan was correct in identifying her as a scornful woman.Since witnessing Emily and Henry’s wedding, she has struggled to sleep well at night. Recurring nightmares haunted her, featuring the joyous exchange of vows between her sister and ex-husband, despite the profound betrayal it represented.The emotional toll that the entire situation took on her was excruciating, especially since they showed no pretense of caring about her or her feelings.

Chapter 7

Her mind raced with thoughts of the potential outcomes and whether she was truly prepared for the aftermath of accepting his proposal. Despite the uncertainty, she reassured herself that Ryan was the only person who could help her achieve her goals, making her decision the best one.The car pulled up in front of an exquisite restaurant, causing her anxiety levels to rise. Stepping out of the car, a man approached a

Chapter 8

Scarlet raised her eyes to look at Ryan, realizing he was staring back at her. He was done talking and was curiously waiting for her reply.“What do you say?” he asked after realizing she wasn’t responding to him.She sucked in a deep breath and dropped the cutlery she was holding onto. “I’ve made a decision,” she said boldly, even though her heart was racing and she was scared of what was to come.She had made a decision—momentarily—without thinking much of the consequences, because what was the worst that could happen?“I’ve decided to agree to this proposal. Let’s get married, Mr. Marchetti,” she said to him, and she saw his eyes twitching. She expected him to be surprised, but he wasn’t.He instead looked at her and smiled. “This is great. I’m glad you accepted my proposal,” he said, and his smile widened.She stood up from her seat and stretched her hand toward him. “Let’s seal the deal, shall we?”She didn’t want to get into a deal that would paint her as a pushover or make the

Chapter 9

Scarlet’s POVOn getting home, the first thing I did after getting rid of my clothes and taking a quick shower was get my laptop and prepare to write down a list of rules that Ryan and I had to live by if we were going to live as a married couple.The first rule I believe he had to follow was the no-touching rule. Although he didn’t seem like someone who was going to ever attempt to touch me inappropriately, I still needed to include that as one of the rules, because the last thing I wanted was to have any sort of relationship with a man.Love and relationships were out of the books for me, and I’ve just concluded that after getting my revenge on Henry and Emily, I’ll be done with Ryan and men forever.A few other rules that came to mind included Ryan and I living our lives separately, without one person interfering in the other’s life, except, of course, if it would ruin the basics of our false marriage.I also didn’t want him to ever act like he had any right over me or act as my hu

Chapter 10

Scarlet’s POVThis would be the first time that I would be seeing Henry face-to-face like this since our divorce three months ago, and the fact that those were his first words to me after not seeing me in a long time made me extremely angry. But it suddenly occurred to me that showing my anger was only going to make me look even more pathetic, so I made up my mind that I was going to pretend to be cool.I moved closer to the car and glared at him mildly. “What the hell are you talking about, Henry?” I hissed at him, and he chuckled.He relaxed his back on his seat, almost as if he wanted me to get a glimpse of the inside of his car, and to my surprise, Emily was sitting there with a big mocking smile on her face. She was rubbing her belly with one hand while the other hand was intertwined with Henry’s free hand.My heart raced violently and my legs shook, but I maintained an unreadable expression as I stared back at them.“Hold on, you two. Did you decide to stop me just so you could
