Chapter 90
“Bang!” The gunshot sounded in the cafe which left everyone screaming and running around.
Without thinking, Scarlett grabbed Lilu’s hand and shoved her to a corner hiding her under the table.
“No matter what you are not allowed to step out, because I don’t want to hypocrite saying that I killed your child because of Jealousy” Scarlett whispered to her and squatted too as she tried to make her existence less known in case of the person did not really come for her.
But Scarlett heard the footsteps coming towards her as she looked up slowly and saw the young man that stood in front of her, although she could not see his face clearly.
“Please tell me you are not here for me?” She muttered feeling unlucky.
“I’m Scar” The young man said as Scarlett slowly stood and rubbed her forehead before looking at the person that stood in front of her.
Seeing the face she paused as her lips trembled slightly.
“It can’t be” She muttered and moved her eyes aside sorting out her emotions.
“Do you know me?” Scar Asked.
“I only know that you are really young but for them to send you, it means that they trust you really well” Scarlett crosses her arms.
“You are not afraid for someone that will die soon” Scar raised his brows a little surprised at her reaction.
“I should say that to you, Or didn’t they tell you anything about me?” Scarlett asked as Scar raised the gun and pointed it at get.
“Be careful with that gun, A pregnant woman is hiding somewhere around here and I know that you are too young to put the death of one body and two people on your head” Scarlett gave a kind reminder.
“You are too kind to be an Assassin” Scar said and shot at her, Scarlett rolled the dude jumping the bullet.
“Everyone had a heart, and as an Assassin, I just have to show the kindness to the right person” Scarlett replied and brought out her little knife that hid on her wound.
“If you go now, I might let you go because of your face” She waved the knife to his face and reminded in a kind tone.
“We will see about that” Scar responded to her and attacked her with full force, each move was to kill her.
But who is Scarlett, With a simple move she defended herself and got out of his attacks, at the same time giving him a scratch on his face.
“You indeed have the ability to fight against me but you would have trained more” She smiled and waved the knife on her face.
Just as she wanted to attack him this time, several Men in suit came out from nowhere and hurriedly subdued Scar causing him to kneel to the ground.
“Wow! I forgot I had guards to protect me” She put the knife away and smiled slightly.
“Madame are you ok?” The head of the guards went on and Asked.
“I’m fine, Don’t kill him yet, I still have a question I want to ask him” Scarlett raised her hand and stopped the person that wanted to pull the trigger.
“You should just kill me, You won’t find any news from me” He replied stubbornly.
“You are quite similar to me” Scarlett didn’t care about his reactions and went closer to him.
“Is there any place you can take him to do that he can be questioned later?” Scarlett asked as the guard nodded.
“Yes ma’am” The head of the guard replied as she nodded and stepped away.
“Take him away. Little guy, we will meet later” She waved at him and watched the guards leave with him.
She turned and removed the table that covered Lily.
“You can stand up now they are gone” She said but there was no movement.
“Lily?” She called and looked over.
“Are you ok?” She asked worried that something will happen to her.
“I will like to stand up but my leg is weak from squatting” Lily whispered as Scarlett rolled her eyes and helped get stand up.
“You scared me for a while as I thought something really happened to you” She helped him to sit down as they both faced each other again.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“Emmm,” Lily gripped her clothes and looked at the floor.
“What’s the matter?” Scarlett raised her brows and asked her.
“Thank you for today” Lily murmured after a few minutes of difficulties.
“I didn’t plan to save you but I just didn’t want that innocent child to die just like that.
And I didn’t save you, he cake for me originally and will not kill anyone else” Scarlett rolled her eyes not caring about her words.
“But still thank you, Your first instinct was to protect me and tell me to hide even when you are out there in danger” Lily muttered as she felt tears streaming down her eyes.
“Seriously? Are you made of tears? I guess you are touched because Ryan won’t do something like this for you right?” Scarlett asked feeling a little helpless.
Lily nodded acknowledging to her words.
“You are beautiful and good, There are so many good and nice men out there who fall for who you really are and not what you pretend to be. Ryan loves only himself and does not care about anything.
Take care, and make the best decision for that child. A decision you will not regret” Scarlett said her final words and left the cafe.
She made her way to her bakery,
“Ma’am, There is someone in your office” Grace whispered to her as Scarlett nodded and walked over thinking that it is Lisa.
“Lisa what are you doing here by this time?” She asked as she opened the door to her office.
“You?! What are you doing here?!” She looked at Damien who sat there and was looking at her.
She stood at a spot as he walked over and hugged her into his arms.
“Fortunately you are fine” He muttered as he tightened his arms around her.
“I guess your gossip guards must have told you” She rolled her eyes and patted his back.
“They said you didn’t want to kill the culprit? Why?” Damien asked as he separated the hug.
“Damien…” Scarlett hugged him back with tears in her eyes.
“He looks a lot like my dad!”
