A week had passed and Vivian was still not home from her so-called trip. Although, she had called Scarlett to inform her that she would be back the following day. The maids arrived to clean up the place because Vivian did not like to see even a speck of dust.Adrian and Scarlett were in her room, binge-watching one of Scarlett's favorite shows and having snacks. Adrian did not even like the movie, but he decided to watch it because she loved it. He didn't even concentrate on most parts of the movie, because he was far too busy thinking about how he was going to end his marriage plans with Vivian when she got back.He was no longer aiming for revenge, so getting married to her was just a big waste of time. He was afraid of what the outcome of his decision would be. What reason would he give Vivian for breaking things off? What would be everyone's reaction when they find out that she left a mother for her daughter?The facts were disturbing and difficult to face, he didn't know where to
“Well..” she folded her arms. “I… I saw the engagement party online and I got the address of the house.” She replied and put on a stern face again, staring at both women who were obviously furious with her.“What are you two yelling at me for? This is my boyfriend's house and I'm here to stay!” She said and Vivian couldn't help but chuckle, amazed at the guts that Isabella had. Adrian had not said a word, he watched the three women get on each other's necks with no clue how to stop it.“Your boyfriend doesn't have a dime in this house! This is my house and I want you to get your dirty self out of here!” Vivian fired, her eyes becoming darker. Isabella seemed to be shocked and turned to Adrian, expecting him to say something but he was quiet and even had his neck bent. She furrowed her brows in confusion, wondering what was going on. She had originally thought that the house belonged to Adrian but hearing Vivian say what she had just said got her confused.“Adrian? What is she saying
Scarlett kept on cursing, biting her lip, and seething all through the drive back home. It's a miracle that she managed to get home without getting herself involved in an accident. Anger would be an understatement to describe what she was feeling at that moment, she wanted to rip Isabella to shreds but she was forced to calm herself down.How could she be thinking about fighting her fellow girl for a man? How did she get to the point of letting such a thought cross her mind? She is Scarlett Davenport, she is not a chaser of men! She went straight to the kitchen as soon as she got into the house. She got herself a glass of water, gulped it down, and stood there with her head against the wall, trying to calm her nerves. She couldn't help but wonder if Isabella was actually telling the truth about being Adrian's boyfriend. If that's the truth, then why did he get engaged to her mother and even have the guts to sleep with her several times? She let out a loud groan, her blood slowly beg
Adrian, Scarlett, and Isabella all snapped their heads towards Vivian, each of them shocked to their bones. Their mouths hung open as they stared at her in disbelief. Scarlett especially could not bear the shock and shame of finding out that her mother knew all along about her illegitimate affair with her soon to be stepfather.She wasn't as shameless as her mother, she feels remorse for her actions unlike her mother who wouldn't give a flying fuck about sleeping with any man. A tear dropped from her eyes as she waited impatiently along with Adrian for what her mother was going to say next.“You know? H—how?” Adrian stuttered, equally feeling ashamed.“I have been observing you two for a while now and I started to notice a few things.” Vivian kept a straight face, walking over to sit on her favorite sofa. Everyone's eyes followed every one of her movements. Isabella was standing with her arms folded, trying to understand what was going on.“On our engagement night for example… I saw t
After the confrontation with Scarlett at the mall, Isabella realized that it would take more than just mere words to get what she wanted. If she wanted to have Adrian back, she would have to think of a full proof plan, one that would ensure that Scarlett and Adrian had stayed separated.No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't think of anything. Vivian was the only option she had, but that plan flopped. She wasn't able to think up any new plans. At a time, she thought about getting rid of Scarlett by killing her, but she quickly shook that thought off.She could stoop low, but not so low as to kill a person. She has never done that and would never think of doing it. She didn't want anything that would land her in jail.Isabella was still lost in thought when the door opened and Adrian walked in. She ran to hug him, but he gently pushed her away, glaring at her. She lowered her gaze and scratched the back of her neck as if she regretted any of the things she did.“Telling Vivian abou
The following morning, Adrian arrived at Joey's house and met him having breakfast with his wife. They all exchanged pleasantries before he asked about Isabella.“She's upstairs, I invited her for breakfast but she refused to come down and she hasn't eaten anything since yesterday night,” Joey answered with a shrug and Adrian sighed before going upstairs to get her by himself.He knocked on the door but there was no response so he pushed it open and luckily, it wasn't locked. He found her sitting at the edge of the bed, sobbing uncontrollably. He was suspicious but approached her, placing a hand on her shoulder. She jolted, turning to look at him, her eyes red as tomatoes.“What happened?” He was genuinely worried about her.“Adrian..” she sniffed, grabbing his hand and turning to face him. “I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I totally regret everything I've done in the two days that I spent here.” She sobbed, wiping her tears off.“Really?” Adrian was skeptical.“I truly am sorry. I should
Vivian was sitting in the living room, sipping some juice that a maid served her earlier. She could hear Adrian incessantly knocking on Scarlett's door, asking her to open up. She was worried and wondered if they had a fight but decided to let them sort out their own problems unless they decided to involve her.The doorbell rang and a maid went to see who it was. Detective Roberts made his way in and went to meet Vivian in the living room. “Oh detective, what brings you here?” Vivian offered him a seat but he was far too busy glaring at her to sit down. He did not look happy at all and she immediately noticed.“Is everything okay?” She asked.“How exactly can everything be fine Vivian? When you have refused to come out with the truth and make things easier for everyone!?” The detective's voice was harsh and intimidating, making Vivian flinch from her position. “What sort of embarrassment is this!? Why did you come to my house to yell at me?” She raged.“All of this wouldn't be happe
Scarlett's eyes flipped open and she looked around, trying to recall where she was. She finally understood that she was in her room, lying on the bed. She suddenly remembered everything that happened before she passed out, everything that Adrian said to her, and immediately broke down. She cried her eyes out, her heart aching like an arrow had been driven into it. She couldn't believe that the man she had been fighting to have for close to a year now was nothing but a fraud. He had been pretending all this while and kept his motives hidden. It was almost as if the universe was constantly testing her, things always seemed to turn sour every time she started to enjoy herself. “I hope this all ends up being a dream.” She sniffed, tears blurring her vision. She pulled her own hair, overwhelmed by pain and anger. She didn't know what to think or what to do, she felt like she was drowning and there was no one to save her. She sat up on the bed, tears still pouring down her cheeks.The doo
