Peace

Scarlett's POVThe morning sunlight poured through my bedroom window long before I was ready to get out of bed.I lay there for several minutes, staring at the ceiling.Yesterday kept replaying inside my mind.Ryan had promised he would come back.I knew he hadn’t forgotten me on purpose.Even so…Waiting for someone only to realize hours had passed was never a pleasant feeling.I sighed quietly before climbing out of bed.There was no reason to let one afternoon ruin today.After getting dressed, I made my way downstairs.The mansion was already busy.Several servants moved through the hallways, carrying fresh flowers and trays of breakfast.As I reached the last step, I heard familiar footsteps.I looked up.Ryan was walking toward me.The moment he saw me, he stopped.“Good morning.”I smiled politely. “Good morning.”For a second, neither of us spoke.Then Ryan looked at me carefully.“I owe you an apology.”I blinked.n“You do?”“I said I’d come back.” His voice remained calm. “I d

Her Health

Chapter 52Scarlett's POVRyan drove back to the mansion much faster than he had driven into town.Neither of us spoke during the journey.The cheerful mood we had shared only a short while ago had disappeared completely.I sat quietly in the passenger seat, my hands resting on the new hockey grip Ryan had bought for me.Every now and then, I glanced at him.His eyes never left the road.His face remained calm, but I could tell he was worried.As soon as the car stopped in front of the mansion, Ryan stepped out.I followed him without wasting another second.The front door was already open.Several servants stood in the entrance hall with anxious expressions.The head maid hurried toward us the moment she saw Ryan. “Young Master.”Ryan stopped..“How is she?”The maid lowered her voice. “The doctor is with her.”Ryan gave a short nod before walking into the living room.I stayed close behind him.The moment I entered the room, I looked around.Gomez was sitting on the sofa with a blank

Confused

Chapter 53 Scarlett's POVSleep refused to come.No matter how many times I closed my eyes, my mind refused to become quiet.Ryan had promised he would come back.He always meant what he said.I knew that.Still… The empty hours had hurt more than I wanted to admit.With a quiet sigh, I pushed the blanket aside and climbed out of bed.“Maybe a glass of water will help,” I whispered to myself.The hallway outside my room was almost silent.Only a few lights remained on, leaving the long corridor covered in a soft golden glow.I walked slowly toward the staircase.Just as I passed Gomez’s room, a voice drifted through the half-open door.I stopped without thinking.n“…Everything is going exactly as planned.”I frowned.Someone else answered through the phone, but I couldn’t make out the words.Gomez spoke again.“No… he doesn’t suspect anything.”A short silence followed.Then she laughed quietly..“Just be patient.”Something about her voice made my stomach tighten.I remained frozen w

He Trusted Her

Chapter teScarletts PovI barely slept.Every time I closed my eyes, I heard Gomez’s voice again.“Everything is going exactly as planned.”“He doesn’t suspect anything.”“As long as he keeps believing me, she won’t have a chance.”Those words refused to leave my mind.I turned onto my side and stared at the window until the first rays of sunlight slipped into my room.By morning, I had made up my mind.I couldn’t keep this to myself.If Gomez was planning something, Ryan deserved to know.Even if he didn’t believe me…At least I would have tried.After getting dressed, I walked downstairs.The mansion was already awake.Servants moved from one room to another, preparing breakfast and carrying fresh flowers through the hallways.I looked around for Ryan.He wasn’t in the dining room.One of the maids noticed me.“Miss Scarlett.”I smiled politely.“Have you seen Ryan?”“The young master is in his study.”“Thank you.”I made my way upstairs.The closer I came to his study, the faster

Overheard

CHAPTER FIFTY-FOURScarlett’s POVThe next morning, I left the mansion earlier than usual.I didn’t feel like sitting through breakfast.I wasn’t angry.At least, that was what I kept telling myself.The truth was much harder to admit.Every time I looked at Ryan, I remembered our conversation in his study.He hadn’t called me a liar.He hadn’t raised his voice.He had listened to everything I said.And yet…He still chose to believe that Gomez meant no harm.Maybe he was right.Maybe I really had misunderstood.But my heart refused to accept it.The training field was almost empty when I arrived.Only a few players had started warming up.I picked up my stick and stepped onto the ice without waiting for anyone else.The cold air hit my face the moment my skates touched the surface.I welcomed it.It helped clear my thoughts.I skated from one end of the rink to the other, focusing only on the puck in front of me.One pass, another .Then another. I repeated the same drill over and ov

Clear

CHAPTER FIFTY Six Scarlett’s POVThe mansion felt quieter than usual that afternoon.After everything that had happened between Ryan and me, I found myself spending more time outside.Not because I wanted to avoid him, I didn’t.I just needed time to clear my head.Every time I thought about our conversation in his study, my heart felt heavy.I knew Ryan wasn’t trying to hurt me.That was the hardest part.If he had been cold toward me, maybe it would have been easier.But he wasn’t.He still cared.He still looked at me the same way.He still tried to make things right.The problem was that there was now something between us.Something I couldn’t ignore.I walked through the garden slowly, letting the fresh air calm my thoughts.The flowers moved gently with the breeze.Everything looked peaceful.Almost too peaceful.I was about to return to the mansion when I heard footsteps behind me.I turned.Gomez stood a few feet away.The moment I saw her, my expression changed.She rarely a

With Him

CHAPTER FIFTY Secen Scarlett’s POVThe garden had become my favorite place in the mansion.Not because it was the most beautiful place.Although it was.The flowers were always carefully taken care of, the paths were always clean, and the sound of the fountain in the distance made everything feel peaceful.But recently, I came here because it was the only place where I could be alone with my thoughts.And lately…I had too many thoughts.Gomez’s words kept returning to my mind.“You still don’t understand why I am here.”“Some people only stay until the right person comes back.”I hated that those words affected me.I knew Ryan cared about me.I knew what we had was real.I had seen the way he looked at me.I had felt the way he protected me.But there was something about Gomez’s confidence that bothered me.She wasn’t guessing.She wasn’t trying to make a random accusation.She sounded like someone who knew something I didn’t.I sat on the wooden bench near the fountain, watching th

Peaceful

CHAPTER FIFTY Eight Scarlett’s POVFor the first time in several days, the morning felt normal.Not perfect, completely peaceful but normal.I sat near the window in my room, watching the sunlight slowly spread across the garden outside.The last few days had been exhausting.Too many questions.Too many doubts.Too many moments where I wondered if things between Ryan and me were changing.I hated feeling that way.Because deep down, I knew Ryan.I knew he wasn’t someone who would intentionally hurt me.He wasn’t ignoring me because he didn’t care.He was simply trying to help someone who needed him.That was the kind of person he was.Sometimes, that was also the reason he ended up carrying too much.A soft knock came from the door.I looked up.“Come in.”The door opened.Ryan stood there.For a moment, I was surprised.He rarely came to my room without a reason.“Are you busy?”I shook my head.“No.”He nodded slightly.Then he looked away for a second before speaking.“You said w

Strangely Quiet

CHAPTER FIFTY NINEScarlett’s POVThe days after that became strangely quiet.Not peaceful, nor exactly, just quiet.Ryan was still the same person.He still asked if I had eaten.He still checked if I was tired after training.He still waited for me whenever we walked through the mansion together.But something about him had changed.His mind was somewhere else.I noticed it every time he looked away after receiving a message.I noticed it whenever he became silent in the middle of a conversation.I noticed it because I knew him.Ryan was not someone who showed his emotions easily.Most people would never realize when something was bothering him.But I did.I always did.And this time…I knew something was happening.One afternoon, I found him standing near the window in his office.He wasn’t reading any documents.He wasn’t working.He was simply staring outside.I knocked softly.His attention immediately turned toward me.“Scarlett.”I smiled slightly.“Am I interrupting?”“No.”

Completely Right

CHAPTER SIXTYScarlett’s POVThe days that followed felt strange.Nothing was completely wrong but nothing felt completely right either.Ryan was still Ryan, he still came to check on me in the morning.He still reminded me to eat when I became too focused on training.He still noticed small things that everyone else ignored.But there was something different.His attention was divided.A part of him was still with me.The other part was somewhere far away.Somewhere in his past.And I understood why.I couldn’t blame him.For years, Ryan had carried the memory of a person he thought he might never find again.A person connected to a time in his life before everything became complicated.Before responsibilities.Before expectations.Before he became the person everyone depended on.Now that person had appeared again.Of course he wanted answers.Anyone would.The problem was not that Ryan cared about Gomez.The problem was that Gomez had become connected to a part of Ryan that I could
