Chapter 11: The Scarlet Letter Novels & Stories

CHAPTER 113 Scarlet sat on a boulder overlooking the frozen lake just outside the Pierce manor. The chilling wind went unnoticed by her as she stared absentmindedly at the vast expanse of land, her eyes focused on nothing in particular. She was lost in thought. There couldn’t possibly be a way she had a mate, right? She had spent so many years running away from her other identity, and now fate goes and gives her a mate. It was a cruel joke, and she didn't know what to do, what to feel, or even how to react.

She practically fell into the first available empty seat she could find, three rows from the front, dropping her satchel to the floor with a thud. The air in the room had changed. It was charged, anticipatory. All eyes were fixed on him as he placed his coffee and bag on the lectern at the front. He didn’t need to call for silence. His presence commanded it. Scarlett’s fingers trembled as she opened her notebook. She dared not to look up. She bit her lip, trying to steady her thoughts. She had survived. Dr. Clarke began to speak, his voice filling the hall. “Today our topic is ‘Forbidden Romance’.”

he asked. Alexa nodded as she chewed. Harbem opened the letter. He felt a certain reticence in reading the letter. He did not know what was written and was reluctant to read something he did not want to know. But he had to know what Hester had written and so he opened it and read it. His feelings proved to be correct. What he read was not what he had hoped to discover. He felt as if a knife was pushed through his ribs into his heart and twisted around.

My hands dropped down, I accepted my defeat. "I'm sorry, so where were we?" He mended his coat by giving his shoulders a shrug and uttered. My tears began flowing, I had dreaded this day for so long, who knew the man I have let my heart to fool me would be the reason I will meet that pervert again. Why was he punishing me for Scarlet's sins? "She is with me right now." He said, I was shivering and sitting with my body straight and my heart praying. That was it, he got me F**** up.

That just inflated my ego, and I wondered how many more I could get to do that before we leave back to Nightshade tomorrow. “Stand up,” I commanded each of the eight. They stood slowly, and they looked like their lives were ending. I was not actually going to cut off their dicks. They still had to go to trial. However, knowing Denver, he might just make that their punishment. Death by dick removal. Perhaps we could start a trend on how to punish rapists. “Do you eight know what the Scarlet Letter symbolizes?” I asked. They all nodded slowly and flinched when I stepped towards them. More ego inflation. My day was looking up.

Just last week she was trying to mend their broken relationship but now? Before I knew it Skylar grabbed a hold on my colar kissing me hard. I pushed her away angrily looking at Aaron who just stood there as if not noticing what just happened. She looked over at Scarlet and I following her gaze. Scarlet looked even more angrier than she was. This is bad.... ____________________________ Meery Christmas my lovely readers. Hope you are enjoying your day!!!

She’d lost her name, her light, her pride, Now the truth had forced the world to decide. Would they embrace her, would they atone? Or just move on, leave sins unknown? Scarlet knew this fickle game, Today a victim, tomorrow the same. Sydney’s silence, Max’s shame, No one was left untouched by blame. And Olivia? A queen dethroned, Her carefully spun lies are now overthrown. Scarlet’s heart was steel, her mind a blade, She’d danced in fire, yet never frayed. The world had tried to bring her low, But now? She was the storm.

As Melanie said those words, tears continued to trickle down her cheeks. "Mommy, my classmates all said that I don't have a daddy..." Her words made my heart ache. My heart felt like there was a hand squeezing it. My eyes instantly turned red and I quickly pulled Melanie into my arms. I opened my mouth in an attempt to comfort her, but when Mike Ashton's cold face appeared in my head, no words came out. At that moment, I was overwhelmed by regret and hatred. I regretted marrying Mike. I thought that after enduring those four long years, Mike had finally had a change of heart and returned to the country to enjoy life with Melanie and me.

Chapter 13 The morning came sluggishly, gray light seeping through my curtains, but it brought no relief. My body ached from the previous night, but the weight pressing on my mind was worse. Every detail of the Red Room, every flicker of Damien’s eyes, every precise movement he had made, haunted me. I kept replaying it over and over, trying to understand why he had reacted so violently. The fear, the humiliation, it all made sense. I had crossed a line, but the intensity of his punishment suggested there was something more, something hidden that I could not see.

Since then, the trophy had always been placed in the most visible spot in my office, reminding me not to give up on my original aspirations. I had planned to propose to Tanner, asking him to let me step back from his business and return to research after we got married. I crouched down to pick up the metal base. It had my name and the honor inscribed on it. Even though it was broken, I wanted to gather the pieces. Behind me, I suddenly heard Willow sobbing and Tanner's furious voice. "Katherine! What did you do?" Startled, I looked back to see Willow crying as she threw herself into Tanner's arms. There was a smear of blood on her elbow where the glass had cut her.
