Evelyn was trembling as tears poured out like rain " I'm so sorry , I did not know what came over me "
" Eve why would you do something like that , I know you hate her but it hasn't gotten to that extent". Stephen said clearly disappointed
" Anything Liam does to you is exactly what you deserve *sighs* I can't believe my own wife is this evil "
She kneels down " honey I'm so sorry , I just wanted the best for our son , Liam forgive me pls I thought Scarlett was a burden to you "
Liam scoffs " you've made it hard for Scarlett to let us into Aiden's life and I've no intention of entering forcefully... I'm going to win their trust "
" Do you still like Scarlett son " Stephen asks .
He sighs " I don't deserve her love anymore sad same for Aiden's... I'm still trying to get her to forgive me "
Stephen nods " one step at a time then "
" Yeah , *turns to Evelyn who was still crying* I will not forgive you for what you did , you really crossed the line what if she had gotten a serious injury or worse died , Aiden would have been motherless " he said coldly
Evelyn sobs feeling more guilty, she was not expecting Scarlett to be really pregnant for her son .
" I'm sorry "
He looks at her with something new , disgust ... " Dad make sure she's on a house arrest for a month with all social communications cut off "
" Of course son "
Liam leaves
" S-Stephen I .... "
" I don't want to hear a word from you " he said and continues reading the magazine.
LIAM'S VILLA
He enters inside sighing and totally exhausted... The strength to face Scarlett tomorrow wasn't there and he dreaded it .
He discards his tie on the couch and heads upstairs but stops dead as he hears noise coming from the kitchen.
Who the hell could that be , he's sure that it's not Rylan then who the f+k is it ?
Liam walks to the kitchen on alert , Camilla steps out smiling , she was beautifully or should I say s+×ily dressed in a red handless short gown and a rabbit slippers... She looked like a housewife preparing two meals for her husband
" Hy love did I scare you "
He groans , it seems that he has forgotten about Camilla knowing this Villa passcode that's why he has many other villas .
" I wanted to surprised you with dinner " she said walking to him and puts her arm round his shoulder.
" I know you must be tired from all days work "
Liam nods trying to ignore the fact that he deliberately rubbed her boobs on his chest but he wasn't getting aroused one bit it was as if he's gay .
" That's very kind of you " he said stopping back
Camilla frowns slightly, he's acting distant again after buying that necklace for her , when is he going to give it to her.
" Liam I'm best to keep our relationship alive , we've been engaged for two years but you've not made love to me ... We only kissed and when we going to get married, I'm waiting, tired of being the one making a move "
He sighs holding the urge to roll his eyes .
" I did not ask you to save this forced relationship or wait .. it was your decision stop sounds like I agreed to any of this "
She freezes in shock, liam has never said anything like that to her at all .
" Why ... What have I done to deserve this "
Liam sighs rubbing his forehead, it was pounding furiously like it was gonna explode.
" I'm sorry Camilla but I'm not in the mood to talk about this , pls leave ei need to sleep."
She blinks back her tears trying not to cry in front of him .
" This is not over yet "
Liam sighs in relief as he watches her storm away angrily.
SCARLETT APARTMENT.
She sat in front of the make-up mirror in her room , her mind was far away as she brushed her long slik hair slowly.
Crystal was fast asleep on the bed and she was even smiling, it looks like she was having a sweet dream , probably about Rylan.
" I'm tired " Scarlett mutters staring at her reflection in the mirror.
" Do I really have to go to work tomorrow"
She is certainly sure that Liam will start disturbing her to give him access to Aiden ... After all he is Aiden's father and by law it is his right to be with him .
" I was not expecting Liam to find out about Aiden soon , everything won't be the same now " she mutters sighing and stands up .
Scarlett opens the drawer and brings out the box Liam gave to her back in Calgary..
" I never had the chance to open it " she mutters unwrapping the box and opens it .
Her heart drops to the ground at what she saw inside .... The necklace he bought in that's auction that worth trillions.
" Why? Why would he give this to be as a gift , is Camilla not there anymore.... The whole world is expecting him to give it to Camilla not me maybe it is a mistake"
She closed the box back , too afraid to touch the necklace and wraps it back up .
" I'll return it to him first thing tomorrow morning "
PRESIDENTIAL ESTATE
PRIVATE VILLA
A limousine enters slowly inside and reporters struggled to get a glimpse from outside.
The car parks and General Macgonnel steps out smartly dressed in his army uniform and sorrouned by soldiers.
The house staffs bowed respectfully to him of course, you're looking at the General of the Canadian army , that is the highest rank in the country.
He was led through the magnificent presidential villa into the study room .
President Victor stood up as General Macgonnel entered still surrounded with his bodyguards.
" John" he said smiling
" Victor "
They exchanged pleasantries and sat down while the soldiers and bodyguards stood at each corner of the room .
" Thank you for fighting for the peace of our country " Victor said
John smiled and leaned back on the couch " that is my responsibility Victor "
He nods " you did not invite me for your wife's burial "
" I've not buried her yet " John said sighing.
Victor looks at him in surprise, it's been more than twenty years since Rina died. " What ! "
He sighs " I want my daughter to be there "
" You've found her "
" I never lost her actually, I left her in safe hands so I'm going back to take my daughter "
Victor smiles sadly " I'm sure she will look like your wife "
He chuckles imagining a grown up version of his daughter who will look exactly like his dear Rina .
" She does even from birth , where are your children ? "
Victor smiles " Romans and his wife are on honey moon while Moana and her mother are shopping"
John nods " I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until they arrive, I'm going to meet my daughter today "
" No problem, don't forget to update me when you finally see her. *Smiles* maybe my second son Orion will be perfect for her " Victor said smiling mischievously.
John laughs " let me get to know her first you matchmaker"
BLACKWOOD APARTMENT
Mary is ransacking her drawer for the diamond pendant that mysteriously disappeared .
" Seriously ken I'm sure I put it here and now it's gone "
He groans going through the closet " how can you put it there when it's not safe, have you forgotten how important that necklace is to us "
" I know , I'm sure it's in this house somewhere " she said ruffling her hair
Ken eyes her angrily " have you asked Yvonne"
" No "
" Then what the hell are you waiting for , go and ask her"
Mary hisses and leaves the room .
She is about to knock on Yvonne's door but stops as she hears m0@ns coming from inside.
" Uh she brought a guy over " she mutters confused
Opening the door slightly to see Yvonne riding like a horse on a v+brat0r...
" What the f+k are you doing" Mary yells .
Yvonne groans and removes the v1brat0r from her p+sy and stands up. " Can't I have some privacy"
" F+k no " Mary said eyeing her
She rolls her eyes and seats back on the bed .
Mary steps inside " did you take any diamond pendant from my drawer "
" No "
" That pendant is very important to us Yvonne, if you're with it hand ot over now "
Yvonne groans " I'm not with it okay , stop accusing me .... I'm not a thief "
She scoffs " let's hope so ... Our lives are on that pendant, I hope you're saying the truth "
Mary looks at her one last time and leaves.
" What does she mean , is this pendant really important to us " she mutters and locks the door .
She brings out the pendant from under the bed staring intensely at it .
" Why do I have this feeling that it has something to do with Scarlett " she mutters and slips it inside her pocket before lying back on the bed like nothing happened.
R.E
Indigo walked through the corporate hallways rubbing her hair softly , she still hasn't recovered from what Crystal did to her hair .
" I strongly believe that she escaped from the psychiatrist hospital and why the f+k will Mr Rylan defend her " she mutters frowning.
Her phone rings
" Oh it's Miss Camilla"
Indigo: hello ma'am
Camilla: hello indigo , do you've any news for me
Indigo: *panics, she had no time to spy on Scarlett and Liam like she said she would* err yes I do
Camilla: *smiles* good I'm listening
Indigo: Mr Liam gave Scarlett a day off immediately after they returned from the trip , that has never happened to any employee before . Even Mr Rylan has hasn't experienced that . I believe he's giving her special treatment ma'am.
Camilla : *scoffs , no wonder he behaved strangely last night* I see * pauses* do you know about the Meyer family banquet
Indigo: *gasps* yes ma'am I do
The Meyer's family is the second most richest family in the country after The Reynold who in the world doesn't know them .
Camilla: good you're attending it right
Indigo: *sighs* I wish I could but I won't be invited
Camilla: that is not a problem, I'll provide the invitation for you... There is a way we can end Scarlett permanently
Indigo: *jumping up happily* of course ma'am, I'll be glad to help you get rid of that pest
Camilla: *smirks* I'll fill you in the details later *hangs up *
" Oh my gosh I can't believe it , I'll be attending the Meyer's family banquet" she said dancing around.
LIAM'S OFFICE
Scarlett enters inside quietly, the office was empty so yeah Liam hasn't arrived...
She sighs in relief, not yet ready to face him .
She settles on the seat and brings out her laptop.
" Today is a new day " she mutters starting her work
Half an hour later Liam enters , walking past her quietly like a cold breeze .
" Good morning sir "
He nods an heads to his table.
She bites her lips feeling a twinge of disappointment.
Liam suddenly stops and turns back to her .
" How is Aiden , is he home alone "
She bows her head trying to ignore the relief she felt.
"He is fine sir and no he is not alone , I left him with a Nanny"
He sighs not liking the sound of the Nanny thing . " Will you tell him that I'm his father "
Scarlett smirks, so he still wants Aiden to recognize him as his father .
" Are you his father ? "
He looks at her surprised well what was he expecting when he rejected Aiden even before he was born .
" Yes Scarlett, I want to be ... All I caused you 4yrs ago , I'm sorry , I thought I could not impregnate a lady and when you told me you were pregnant I thought you were cheating"
Scarlett scoffs blinking back her tears , every pain she went through was still fresh in her memory and forgetting about it is going to be very difficult.
" It's best we don't talk about the past sir , it would be dumb if I still say that you're not his father ... So I'll give you access to him but know it will be limited and I don't want Aiden anywhere near your parents especially your mother and your fiancee"
He sighs " of course of course, I'm ready to do anything to see my son "
" Your son indeed" she mutters and brings out the box from her bag
" Sir I believe this is not meant for me " she said giving it to him
Liam pushes it back in her hands , he was not expecting her to take it but still ....
" You must have forgotten that I don't collect things I gave out . It is for you , if you're don't like it then sell it or trash it"
She smirks " fine I will trash it "
She catwalks to the refuse bin in the corner and dumps it inside .
Liam jaw dropped to the ground, that set of earrings and necklace worth trillions and she just threw it away !
" You are crazy "
She smirks and seats back on her chair , ignoring his angry and irritated gaze
" I've always been crazy sir "
He leans on the desk already tired of her behavior.
" Good for you , I'm happy Aiden did not inherit this craziness.... I'll follow you home to see him today"
Scarlett looks up surprised " what no way "
He smiles , showing off the pure white teeth " yes way , we will leave immediately it's closing hours "
" Fine " She mutters reluctantly
BLACKWOOD APARTMENT
Mary sat tiredly on the couch in the seating room while ken continued searching upstairs.
They have been looking for the pendant for more than four hours but still yet it hasn't been found.
" I'm so exhausted gosh what kind of witchcraft is this "
The door bell rings
" Who is that , I'm so not in the mood in receiving visitors ". She stands up and goes to open the door.
Mary mouth opens in shock as she sees who it is .
General Macgonnel and his men swiftly was right at her doorstep.
" Oh my gosh "
He scans her wondering if she took care of his wonderful daughter.
" I'm General Macgonnel and I have come to take my daughter that I left at your doorstep with a note .. this * the soldiers bring out a bag of cash and at the other side it was filled with gold* is your payment "
Mary eyes were huge like a watermelon and she was literally drooling....
" Oh my gosh pls so come in "
He nods and they enter inside.
" Darling pls come downstairs now " Mary said sweetly and urshers them them to their seat .
Ken comes downstairs and pauses in shock ...
He quickly greets General Macgonnel and seats next to his wife opposite them .
Few minutes later
General Macgonnel sighs already impatient , their talks were starting to bore him , he just wanted to take his daughter and leave .
" Where is my daughter? I've had enough of your talks "
Ken gulps nervously, the stern faces of the soldiers not to talk of the General was making it difficult for him to breathe,who would have thought that Scarlett biological father is a army general.
" Of course, let me bring her " Mary said standing up and drags Yvonne to them who was peacefully coming down from the staircase.
" This your daughter general Macgonnel "
Yvonne opens her mouth to talk, she was literally confused, Mary pinches her to keep quiet.
She smiles and steps forward , her eyes has caught sight of this bag of cash on the table.
" Hi dad , I thought you will never come for me "
