Third Person POV.The room was heavy with tension as Emily and her mother, Mary, sat across from each other, palpable unease hanging in between them. Mary’s expression was cold and distant, her eyes fixed on Emily with a mixture of anger and disappointment.Emily shifted uncomfortably in her seat, keenly aware of the anger and disappointment that churned in her mother. The events of the previous day lingered like a dark cloud over their relationship, and Emily knew that she needed to clear things up as soon as possible because her mother was the only person that she could trust.Steeling herself, she broke the heavy silence that enveloped them.“I… I know you must be upset with me, and I understand that you have every reason to be. What I did to you yesterday is absolutely unacceptable, but is there anything I can do to make things right? Is there something I can do so we can put that incident behind us?”Mary’s gaze bore into Emily’s, her features tense with barely concealed anger as

Third Person POV.There was a lot of tension in the room as Henry and Susan faced each other. Henry had a rather displeased look on his face, while Susan looked like she couldn’t wait to be rid of him.“I can’t believe you of all people let Emily manipulate you into making such a decision,” Henry accused, his voice edged with frustration. “How could you let her talk you into committing murder? Just how?”He had been taken aback when he heard from Emily that Susan was the one responsible for the accident that put Scarlet in critical condition. He had thought that Emily was the one responsible, but to find out that Susan had done it on Emily’s orders made him even more shocked.Susan’s lips curled into a disdainful sneer as she shot back, “You think I had a choice? Emily had people watching me and threatening me, Henry. I had no other option,” she responded defensively.Henry’s eyes narrowed with skepticism. “You could’ve found a way out if you really wanted to. But no, you jumped at th

Third Person POV.Emily stared at Scarlet with an amused look on her face. She was still struggling to believe that Scarlet had really managed to outsmart her in such a way that she didn’t see it coming at all. But she was amused, very amused.“I really underestimate you, Scarlet. I didn’t think you had it in you to actually do something smart for once in your life,” she hissed, and Scarlet rolled her eyes.“To think you’d actually be bold enough to try to kill me yourself. You really are a crazy wench, and I feel so sorry for you because by the time I’m done with you, you’re going to wish you weren’t so obsessed with me,” she responded, and Emily laughed.Although her body was frozen in place and she couldn’t move, she still didn’t want to give Scarlet the satisfaction of thinking that she would feel disheartened just because she managed to outsmart her for the first time.“Do you know what my biggest regret is? It’s not getting rid of you when I had the perfect chance to. I was the

Third Person POV.Scarlet nestled comfortably in Ryan’s arms, her head resting against his chest. They had chatted nonstop about how things seemed to be going so well for them, and Scarlet had mentioned how scared she was because of how well everything seemed to be going.After Ryan had assured her that things would only get better for them, they stayed quiet for a while until Scarlet broke the tranquility with a gentle lilt in her voice. “By the way, I still can’t believe that Lizzy and I are both pregnant at the same time. Besides the news of my pregnancy, that has to be the second best thing I’ve heard in a long time.”Ryan let out a frustrated groan, his grip on Scarlet tightening momentarily. “Please, my love, don’t remind me. I’m still struggling to believe it myself.”She chuckled softly, her fingers tracing light patterns against his chest. “Why so unhappy? Shouldn’t you be excited that you and your twin will be parents almost at the same time? I know you’re secretly excited a

Third Person POV.Scarlet scoffed, disbelief and irritation mingling in her voice. She couldn’t fathom the audacity of her stepmother to show up at her doorstep and demand explanations. She recalled having made it clear that she had cut ties with Mary and wanted nothing to do with her, so the fact that Mary would come all the way here and go as far as demanding an explanation from her, for no apparent reason, made her blood boil.She took a deep breath, reminding herself to remain calm and composed, even in the face of Mary’s frustrating presence. She couldn’t afford to let this witch make her angrier than she already was.“What exactly do I need to explain?” Scarlet questioned. “As far as I’m concerned, I haven’t done anything that warrants an explanation. And even if I did, you would be the last person to demand one from me.”Mary scoffed bitterly, crossing her arms defiantly across her chest. “Well, look at you,” she retorted. “Married to a wealthy man, experiencing a taste of succ
