SCARLETT’s POVI just stared at him for a few minutes and caressed his face before getting up to go home and pack our belongings. I need to carry out my plans.Before I returned home from the mansion, I turned to Dominic, who was sleeping soundly, but I discovered something different.Mom and dad’s argument, and what I heard from them, was the truth. That’s why my mom’s behavior toward Sophia when she discovered what had happened to me, and my revelations about my relationship with Dominic.I want to keep everything hidden until it clear the mess-up, but this is not what I expected…I thought everything would be fine, but things between me and my family only got worse.And, Sophia was my daddy’s illegitimate child, which means he cheated on mom.“Scarlett?”Why does this have to happen? Why am I still confused by what is going on?“Scarlett!”I blinked and turned to face Carter.“We’re here.”When I turned around outside, I saw we had arrived at Claire’s house.“Are you certain you’r
THIRD POVWhen Rios Knight arrived home, he sighed because it turned all the lights in his house off. It was quiet, and none of his staff was there to greet him.He got out of the car and felt around, but it was too quiet, and he noticed nothing out of the ordinary. He drove through the gate, but left his car outside because he was too lazy to open it.Furthermore, he checked his CCTV and saw that it wasn’t damaged, so he knew his house was safe.Not only that, but he also had the impression that someone was always watching his every move, both inside and outside the company, and especially when he was riding.Except for Carter, who knew someone was watching him because he could take care of himself, his other cousins were unaware. He is not afraid of his enemies because they will never win against a knight, no matter how many there are.He almost tripped as he entered the house because he appeared to have bumped into something. He frowned as he looked at it, but he halted and cursed
SCARLETT’S POV“Good morning, Mommy!”When I felt my children hug me, I stretched.“Hello, good morning…”Sigh, I closed my eyes again because I was still tired.“Someone wants to talk to you, Scarlett.”I opened my eyes and looked at them again. “Who?”Claire shrugged. “You’ll see.”Claire has invited my children to breakfast downstairs.I stood up and frowned, wondering who the person wanted to speak with.When the sun shone on me, I stood up, opened the curtains, and closed my eyes. I looked out onto the terrace where I had left some clothes.“Damn it!”I took it, so they wouldn’t know I had moved the night before. They’ll know about my plans once they find out. I clenched my fists and took a deep breath before starting my routine.After finishing my routine, I was about to come down the stairs to join my children for breakfast when I realized who Claire was referring to.What is he doing here? Didn’t I leave the mansion?He turned to face me, surprised to see that I was still st
(A/n: “This is the story of Scarlett's parents. I put them so you can also know about them.”)THIRD POV*** FLASHBACK28 years ago…Scarlett’s parents’ history.“N-negative,” said Sharlene while crying. She was depressed as she sat on the bed, holding the pregnancy test.“Damn it!”Sharlene kept her mouth shut because she and her husband have yet to have a child. They’ve been married for a few years and tried to have a child, but it’s still not been granted to them.She might never become pregnant, and Vernon might end up leaving her if she cannot conceive. Sharlene, it seems to lose hope.She loves her husband and worries that he will abandon her.“Sharlene?”She wiped away her tears and turned to face their mother.“Lady Josephine,”Josephine sat next to Sharlene while smiling.“It’s negative,” said Sharlene. Josephine came to a halt because of what she had heard, but she only smiled at Sharlene.“Perhaps now isn’t the time for you and Vernon to have a child,” said Josephine. Sharle
Vernon Knight is the third generation of his family, but he chose not to take over as chairperson because he wanted to provide for his wife and their future child because his siblings have their own families. He is the only one on whom the father can rely for their business.So, it is in their law that they may not have a mistress and to love and care for their wife as the chairperson did for their mother, Josephine.“Vernon…”Vernon returned to his work after looking at his wife. “Hmm?”Sharlene bit her lower lip and approached her husband, who was still at work, although it was late at night.“I understand you’re busy, but…”Sharlene closed her eyes because it embarrassed her about what she wanted to do because it was not her habit.“Hmm… Do you want to do it?” asked Vernon, smirking.Her eyes widened, and she shook her head, but Vernon smirked at him and kissed Sharlene, so Sharlene did nothing but go with the flow because she missed the warmth of her husband’s kiss.Sharlene had j
THIRD POVThe night they’ve been expecting has arrived. The clash between the Knights and Solen Madrid.“There are so many people here! We can’t move!” Lux grumbled, adjusting with her earbuds. Her cousins were covering their ears, because of her voice.“Don’t be so loud, Lux!”“Your voice is irritating my ears!”Lux sighed and rolled her eyes. “Whatever!” She crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair, while Ara, who was already bored, sat next to her.“Boring! Isn’t Solen here yet? Isn’t she going to introduce herself?” asked Ara.Lux rolled her eyes once again.“Perhaps she’s planning how to trap us in her event,”Ara smirked and took a glass of wine from a server.“Trap, huh? Did she really plan the event for the Knights? Oh, she looks pathetic,” she smirked. “Brother Carter is correct! She is still new to this, TSK.” She had just finished her wine.Lux frowned because Ara appeared to be drunk.“Arabelle!”Ara raised an eyebrow at her. “What?”Lux sighed and shook her head. “Ho
“Everyone, good evening…”A woman wearing a mask appeared. When she saw the Knights with emotionless eyes just staring at her, she smiled, but she was looking for someone but couldn’t find her.“Welcome to my event! My name is Solen Madrid from Madrid Enterprise,” she said, as she turned to face her guests tonight. “I know many of you are wondering who the woman you are seeing dressed as Solen Madrid is. She just pretended to be me, probably because she was greedy, but don’t worry, I am the real Solen Madrid. Enjoy the party!”People applauded and congratulated her. She only smiled, but she was more interested in the Knights.“Oh, there she is,” said the woman who was drinking outside the event.“She even made up lies to conceal her true colors!”The woman smirked and focused on Solen Madrid, who was excited about what was going to happen tonight.***“I’m not certain, but I have a bad feeling right now,” said Lux.“Yeah, she took a long time to come out, and all she’s going to say is
It took a back Solen when she discovered what she had been looking for. She turned to face the Knights, believing that everything was planned by them, as well as clenched her fist, unsure what to do.“You came!”Scarlett smirked and leaned back in her chair, her legs crossed. “Of course, I want to meet her,” she said with a smile.As they spotted Scarlett’s some pals, they just shook their heads.“F-ck! I knew it! No one can block me except Claire,” Sander grumbled in the monitor room. Sandro patted his shoulder.They noticed Aaron appeared to be fine.“Are you okay, Aaron?” asked Lux, concerned about her cousin.Solen was startled and looked at Aaron with wide eyes, since it was obvious Aaron was fine.“Yeah, I’m still alive…” Aaron smirked at his cousins and winked at Solen, who remained silent.She shook her head, unable to believe that her plan had turned out so badly. “I-I poisoned you!” Solen yelled, covering her mouth as she realized she had said the wrong thing.The Knights tur
