When they got outside Scarlett noticed something odd right off – their usual car was gone and instead there sat an unfamiliar vehicle parked on the curb outside with its engine idling impatiently.“Romero?" She gestured toward the strange car with a look of confusion on her face.Romero's brow furrowed as he studied the car. "That's not our usual ride," he murmured quietly, quickly scanning their surroundings for any signs of danger. He ushered Scarlett back inside and closed the door behind them, keeping his grip on her arm until they were safely in her living room once more."Something doesn't feel right about this," Romero muttered under his breath as he fished out his gun from its holster at the small of his back. "Take cover." He gently pushed Scarlett towards the sofa before slipping into a defensi

"Tell Scarlett to see me in my study." Lovato commanded the old Butler as soon as he returned to the mansion."Yes, my Lord." The old butler bowed and as soon as he reached the hallway, he could sight Scarlett's furious expression. She was still pissed not just at Romero's taunt but also at herself as she had always been able to control her emotions but ever since she met Romero, it seemed her self-control had disappeared with the wind.She took a deep breath, steadying herself before approaching Lovato in his study. As she entered the room, his piercing blue eyes bore into her, and she could feel the weight of his gaze."You summoned me, father," she said, keeping her voice steady despite the rage boiling inside her.Lovato leaned back in his leather armchair, studying her for a moment before speaking. "How have you been Scarlett?" His cold voice seemed to contain a bit of concern.Scarlett was stunned for a while as she had always remembered how coldly her father started to treat h

"So where are we going?" Scarlett asked him as soon as they walked to the main road. Romero watched as the breeze gently caressed her beautiful face, 'my femme fatale' he thought to himself. "You mean where are YOU going." He corrected her."Uhh… I thought this was a test? Now that I have gotten the package, we should get going, right?" Scarlett asked with uncertainty. "Did you think your father would make your welcome test so easy? I was never sent here by your father, I was just curious about our little Scarlett." He responded. Lovato didn't even know that he was here even before she arrived."So you cleared away the traps my father set then? Thanks I guess." She muttered.Romero looked at her in surprise, "What a smart girl you have become!!" He patted her head gently."Woman!" She gritted her teeth "Ugh?!" "I'm a woman, not a girl or the scaredy Scarlett you knew before." She corrected him in annoyance.Romero chuckled at her fiery response. He had no idea Scarlett was now a

*******12 years later******"Can't believe I'm graduating so soon!" Scarlett muttered to herself as she submitted her final project online. "How time flies?! Mom, your daughter is now a big girl." Her eyes laced agonizing sorrow as she thought about her mother, who had passed away a few years ago. She never really remembered her mother, other than the stories her father would tell her. But Scarlett always missed her terribly, but she didn't have time to indulge her emotions.As soon as she hit "submit", her phone rang. It was her father. "Scarlett, I need you to come back to New York. There's a situation that requires your expertise.""What kind of situation?" Scarlett asked, feeling a sense of trepidation."There's been a breach in one of our safehouses. We need you to retrieve a package and ensure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.""But Dad, can I at least wait until our graduation ceremony?" Scarlett pleaded gently as she wasn't exactly ready (*at least mentally*) to be flung b

Newark, NJ, New York City….."Marisa, hide our daughter quickly while I distract the enemies!" Lovato commanded his wife hurriedly as he stabbed a goon, the blood splattering on his dark face."Got it. Come on baby…" Marisa covered her daughter's eyes to prevent her from seeing such a bloody scene."Mummy, we aren't playing hide and seek, are we? So why are so many people running around to hide?" Little Scarlett asked, puzzled as she felt her vision go blank.Marisa's face softened at her daughter's naivety. It was so unbelievable how her innocence had been preserved amidst the bloodshed and power struggles of this underworld."Yes, you're right. We aren't playing hide and seek, but Mummy has to go and find your father right now." Marisa explained hurriedly."Okay Mummy, Scarlett will be a good girl and wait for you to come back with Daddy."
