Chapter 11: The Scarlet Letter Novels & Stories

Dante excused Rose from the polite lady she was talking to and pulled her to the center of the hall. "Ladies and gentlemen," Dante started, now having everybody's attention on the two of them. "There was a time when I thought I was incapable of feeling, incapable of loving. But that soon changed when an angel waltzed into my life." Rose was nervous all of a sudden about whatever Dante was saying. She felt heat creep up her cheek as she very well knew who that angel was.

“Then what am I supposed to do, Elias?” I met her gaze, letting the weight of my next words sink in. “Atone.” Scarlet swallowed hard. She had spent a lifetime justifying her actions, clinging to hatred because it was easier than facing the truth. But now? Now she was faced with the reality of what she had done, what she had allowed to happen. And for the first time, she looked lost. “How?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

My heart quickened as the sound drew nearer, anticipation mingling with fear. Then, Scarlet emerged, her expression blank and unreadable. I held her gaze, searching for any flicker of humanity in those eyes, but found none. Before I could plead with her, reason with her, she silenced me with a single, disdainful glance. "Scarlet, think about what you're doing. You don't—" My words faltered, swallowed by her interruption, by the weight of her disregard.

Scarlett I woke up with a terrible headache. I must have overdone it. I got too cold and nervous that I drank too much. The communication between Lucian and Maxwell was disturbing. I did not like being in the dark, especially about things that concerned me. I went to the bathroom to freshen up and made sure I hurried up. Then decided to clean up the rooms even though it was no longer my job. Idleness was killing me sitting down, so I kept myself busy. Besides, I noticed their staff never entered their rooms, and I was sure it was for a good reason. Once I was done cleaning the place up, I decided to take a book from their shelf. I looked for books that seemed happy and void of romance. I did

A man on the boat reached out his hand to help me up. His face was hidden in shadow, but I could see a scar running down his cheek. I watched the flames and bid farewell to my former self. From this moment on, there was no more Serena Ferrari. From now on, I would become my own queen.

The way her gaze lingered with unspoken questions, the way her presence stirred something deep inside me that was both comforting and terrifying. I ran my hand along the cold banister as I climbed to my study, the familiar scent of ink and parchment greeting me. Maps of the old lands and records of my family’s legacy cluttered the table. My curse loomed over everything like a shadow I couldn’t escape. I remembered my aunt’s words from nights before, the prophecy that bound me: You will be freed only when you marry the one fate chose for you.

“I’ll find out myself.” Her gaze lifted toward the window. The city stretched out before her. Unaware. Unprepared. Blanca’s reflection stared back at her. Calm. Beautiful. Deadly. And behind her eyes— A storm was rising. Because one thing was certain— Whatever had made Lorenzo step back… She would uncover it. And when she did— She would decide what came next. The doors opened faster than usual. Scarlet didn’t wait to be announced. Her heels struck sharply against the polished floor as she walked in, her breath uneven, her fingers curled tightly at her sides. The usual calm she carried had cracked, replaced by something raw.
