He took my hand with deep affection and led me toward the heart of the castle. Rose petals rained down from the sky, painting the moment in sheer romance. He held up a ring and dropped to one knee as he proposed. Overwhelmed with joy, I burst into tears and wrapped my arms around his waist. I asked him what made him plan such a grand proposal. He kissed my cheek and replied, "Because you deserve whatever others have. Estie, you have no idea how happy I am to be with you.

The sky above Jakarta didn't just leak; it collapsed. Thunder rolled across the horizon like a barrage of heavy artillery, shaking the very foundations of the mansion.

"Let's just forget about the engagement. You're a good person. You just don't have much personality. The kind of girl I like needs to be confident, bold, and full of energy.

Not after what I had done. Then Zara’s voice came through the wood. “Skye, listen. Zane is still on the rooftop. He’s on the edge. He’s threatening to jump.

Scarlet asked herself. ***** "A private jet?'' Scarlet whistled, admiring the white Skyliner that had the words, Alger, on it. Brad smirked at her. "You like what you see? You know you can come seat with me in the back. I can show you a thing or two." Scarlet balled her fist, trying to ignore his arrogance.

What if Jonathan tries attacking you? Scarlet: It’s fine. I will just lay here, half naked in a string bikini. Letting the rays of the sun touch my exposed skin. Me: Damn woman! Don’t be showing all the guys your skin! Scarlet: (sends a picture of her rounded stomach and silky legs with a little water on them) It feels so nice on my skin. Too bad it’s not your hand. Me: Just wait till I get home… You will be wishing you didn’t send that.

The box office numbers had been released earlier that day, and the movie was already shattering records, surpassing all expectations. Glass Roses had not only cemented her comeback but had also placed her squarely at the forefront of Stardom Heights' elite once more. Scarlet opened Twitter, her eyes widening as she read the glowing reactions from fans and critics alike: “Scarlet ate that role so well! A villain?! This is her stepping out of her comfort zone to slay something entirely different!” “Oh my god, screaming! Melissa Woods is who she thinks she is. Oops, sorry—I mean Scarlet Sinclair.” “Everyone bow down. My fave just ATE while yours... well, we’ll leave it at that.”

Part of me regrets coming to Darkness Falls, but as I glance toward Frank, part of me thinks it all was worth it. I spot Scarlet approaching. I should have known that she wouldn’t keep her distance. She will become that bug that I will have to squish. Why can’t people just leave me alone? I am not doing anything to them other than existing. Existing is something these fallen wolves won’t ever get to do because of people like Scarlet. People always wanting what they can’t have and always condemning what they can’t understand. She sneers, “Nice shirt. You couldn’t even find a nice dress.”

“Are you really that petty and jealous? Scarlet doesn’t even like Blake anymore. She’s completely in love with someone else.” Vivian couldn’t help notice the way Blake suddenly snapped to attention when Becca said that Scarlet didn’t like him anymore. If Blake still had feelings for Scarlet she didn’t know what she’d do. Vivian wanted to let her rage out on Becca.
