SCARLET POV.Margo was coming at me with a knife, and the look in her eyes as they locked on mine was so manic that they had me freezing up even though I knew I should move and get out of the way. It was as if I was at that edge of the hill once again... I could see her clearly and this time as she shoved me to my death, she grinned wickedly, the mirth in her eyes glistening as she watched me plunge to my death."No" I gasped, reaching up to shield my face as the knife she held headed straight for my eyesSomeone suddenly shoved me and I crashed to the floor, my head almost smacking against the tiles but I raised my elbow to shield it instead and that took the burn off the fall. Pain radiated up my arms and I groaned, darkness creeping into my vision. I blinked hard and tried to breathe through my nose, and once the fog cleared, I became aware of what was going on around me.Margo and Pierce were both struggling with the knife she held and she was so hysteric, it was as if she wasn't

MARGO POV******I was at the edge of the cliff, staring at Eve but Instead of me holding onto her, it was in reverse, and when I looked down and saw just how daunting the way down looked, I turned to face her, my mouth opening to plead for my life, but it wasn't just Eve that was holding onto me, it was the faces of all the people I'd killed... And then I was plunging, falling fast, my scream fading in the air no matter how loud I yelled until I crashed to the floor beneath, my bone shattering into a million pieces.******I woke up with a start, my heart pounding against my ribcage as rivulets of sweat-drenched me from head to toe.I tried to sit up when something snapped against my wrist and before I could blink, I was being hoisted up from the bed."What the hell is going on" I yelled as the man who'd yanked me up started to pull me out of the room. "Where the hell are you taking me""A place for criminals like you," the man said and I stopped, my gaze whipping up to him.The man

SCARLET POV "Are you still going to see Miguel before he is taken away?" Elde asked and I glanced up from the papers in front of me. "You do not need to talk to him or even tell him who you are, Scarlet...""I'll still see him regardless," I said, holding Mother's gaze. "when I do, I'll decide if I'll tell him who I really am or not"Elde moved closer. "Are you okay though? I have been watching you ever since you got back and despite getting your revenge, you haven't smiled in weeks... Are you sure you do not want to press charges against Pierce""No I do not," I said then closed my eyes to reduce the strain I felt. "The trial has just been a little hectic that's all," I told her, opening my eyes to meet her very worried ones.She nodded. "If you want the world to know that you are Eve, there's nothing stopping you my child, not even me... I don't care what name you choose to be bear or if the world finds out that you are not really my child, to me, you are my flesh and blood" she sa

RAPHAEL BATISTAScarlet Antonio Rivera was standing in the elevator and her eyes were wide open in surprise as she saw me. She was clutching at her hair and sweat dripped down her hairline as if she'd been struggling with something in the enclosed space. I stared at her, totally speechless as I took in the most beautiful pair of green eyes I'd ever seen and when I looked closer, it felt as if I'd always stared into those eyes for as long as I could remember. Scarlet lowered her gaze and dropped her hand from her hair, but I noticed the strands that were clutched in her deathlike grip and it had me wondering why she'd been tugging so hard at her hair. I stepped into the elevator with her and once the door closed, sealing the both of us in, I had to resist the urge to grab and tilt her chin so that she could look at me just as she'd done before. I couldn't believe she was here since no matter how many appointments I had with her assistant, I had never met her in person.I turned to

MARGO POV.Everything hurt, especially my face. It burned so hot that I wished I hadn't woken up at all.I've been drifting in and out of consciousness after the van I'd been in exploded... I didn't even understand how I'd been able to survive, but I guess it was because the force of the explosion had pushed me out of the van as it crashed to the ground.Miguel hadn't made it... I knew it because his face had been the last thing I'd seen before I was flying through the hot air.We'd been in the van and he hadn't even spoken a word to me. He'd stared at me as if I was the vilest person he'd ever met as if I had ruined his life as if I was the one to blame for everything and not Eve.Her name made me groan and all of a sudden, someone was hovering over me, and then a wet cloth touched my head.I tried to open my eyes and only managed to get my left eye slightly open while the other felt as if it was permanently shut.The eye I was seeing with was still blurry though and I had to blink t
