Chapter 4 Scarlett wrapped her arms around Blake's waist , pulling him close . [ ] " You're really going to marry her ? " ]] " Is there really no going back for us ? " ] Tears streaming down her face , she reached up and kissed him before he could react . [ ] Blake shoved her away immediately . [ ] Scarlett bit her lip , looking absolutely devastated . ] ] " You really don't want me anymore ? " [ ] " I was your first love ! You said I was the only woman you'd ever love ! Have you forgotten all of that ? " [ ] But Blake didn't budge . [ ] " Scarlett , we were over the day Mark died . " [ ] " If you hadn't married him just to get back at me , if you hadn't told him about us , my brother never would have gotten behind the wheel drunk . Your tantrum killed him and destroyed what we had . " [ ] Crouched under the desk , I finally heard the secret that had eluded me for ten years . ] ] " What about what happened to me ? That car accident took away my uterus - I can never have children ! Ever ! " Scarlett tilted her head back , taking a shaky breath before finally giving in . [ ] " Fine , marry her then ! " ] " But you absolutely cannot let her get pregnant ! If I can't have kids , neither can she ! " ] Blake's eyes went cold as ice . [ ] " Scarlett , you're way out of line . " [ ] " I'm out of line ? Blake , you owe me this ! " ] So that's what he meant by owing her ... ] That's what they used to be to each other . ] And I was just part of their sick game . [ ] " Grace's grandmother is dead - I made sure of that . " ] Blake rubbed his temples and sighed . " I know . That's why I brought Grace to dinner at the estate . " [] Chapter 4 " Let's just drop it . " [] " After I marry her , you shut down the dark web operation and I'll send you abroad . " [ ] I was hearing the most insane conversation of my life . Blake , how the hell am I supposed to marry you now ? ] " One last time . Just sleep with me one more time . " [ ] Scarlett's voice was practically begging , and it shattered what was left of my world . الرسالة The sounds that followed - moaning , gasping - made me squeeze my eyes shut as my heart died completely . [ ] The ten years I'd been so proud of were nothing but a joke . [] Blake , who I thought loved me deeply , who I thought had fought his family to be with me , was absolutely disgusting . ] ] That night , I lay in the guest room at the Harrison estate , staring at the ceiling until dawn . [] When morning came , there was a knock at my door . [ ] Scarlett stood there looking absolutely radiant . [ ] " Sleep well in your lonely bed last night ? " ] " Blake had to rush to the office for an early meeting . He asked me to let you know . " I just shrugged , not bothering to respond . [ ] My phone rang . I hit accept . [ ] " What ? Claire's awake ? " [ " Yes , yes , I'll be right there . " ] Out of the corner of my eye , I saw Scarlett's smile vanish . [ ] I grabbed my bag and headed for the door . ] In my rearview mirror , I could see Scarlett following me in her car . [ ] Blake was sitting in his office when the moving company called , leaving him speechless for a moment . [ ] " Mr. Harrison , the Williams place is completely empty . " ] Remembering my words about not moving in , Blake started to panic . ] He began calling me frantically . [ ] But every call went straight to voicemail . ] Meanwhile , the dark web scandal had exploded across social media . { } Chapter 4 Women's safety became a trending topic overnight . [ ] Among all the related discussions , Claire's case and Scarlett's involvement got dragged back into the spotlight . Within hours , Scarlett's name was trending nationwide . [ ] Blake's calls kept coming , but the trending topics kept getting pulled down . [ ] I knew Blake wouldn't just sit there and take it . [ ] At least until he could ship Scarlett out of the country , her reputation had to stay spotless . ] ] But I wasn't about to let that happen . [ ] Finally , I answered his call . [ ] " Grace , where are you ? " [ ] " Why is your apartment empty ? " [] His first words weren't accusations - they were worry and panic . [ ] Because the trending topics didn't scare him , and he didn't think I was capable of causing real damage , [ ] " I'm at the hospital . " [ ] I could hear the dread creeping into Blake's voice as he asked carefully . ] " What are you doing at the hospital ? " ] Instead of answering , I smiled and said , " Oh , by the way , your first love Scarlett is here too . " ] ] " Want to see what your precious ex is up to ? " ] ] I turned my phone's camera toward Claire's room , where Scarlett stood next to my sister's bed . [ ] Her usually perfect face was twisted with rage as her hand reached for the oxygen tube . ] " Stop her ! " [ ] For the first time ever , I heard Blake's voice crack with panic . [ ] At the same time , I could hear a car engine starting on his end . [ ] Game time . Blake , this time I'm letting the whole world judge your little sweetheart ! ]
