Scot: Crowned by Fate Chapter 26
Scot sat at his desk, the faint hum of his office’s air conditioning blew with freshness as he reviewed the damages Jane had caused. The past few weeks had been a whirlwind of negative press, misleading rumors, and sabotaged business deals. Jane’s desperation had reached new heights, and it seemed as though she was intent on dragging Scot down with her. But today was different; today, he was determined to fight back. Mia had been his rock throughout this ordeal, offering both emotional support and practical solutions. Her insights and determination had proven invaluable. The initial steps she’d suggested—improving their public image and countering false claims with factual transparency—were starting to make a difference. The public’s perception was slowly shifting, and the tide of negativity was beginning to turn. Scot’s assistant, Linda, knocked softly before entering the room. “Scot, the PR team is here for the meeting.” “Great. Let’s get started,” Scot replied, closing his lapto

Scot and Mia had hoped that the worst was behind them, but the peace they had briefly enjoyed was shattered by a new wave of attacks. It began subtly: whispers, online rumors, and barely veiled jabs aimed at Mia's character. Scot was determined to protect her, and he knew that their unity would be tested in ways they hadn’t anticipated. The day started with a quiet tension in the apartment. Scot and Mia had just finished breakfast when Mia’s phone buzzed with a new notification. She glanced at the screen and froze. “Scot, you need to see this,” she said, her voice strained. Scot moved over to her side, peering at the message on the screen. It was a social media post, accompanied by a photo of Mia from the charity event, taken out of context and manipulated to suggest she was involved in unethical behavior. The post was already gaining traction, with comments and shares spreading the false information. “Dammit,” Scot muttered, his jaw tightening. “It’s Jane’s doing, I’m sure of it.

This is the last step, and then we can finally start focusing on our future.”Their attorney, Richard, approached with a clipboard, his expression professional but warm. “Scot, Mia, we’re ready. The judge will see you now.”Scot took a deep breath, his anxiety palpable as he followed Richard into the courtroom. Mia walked beside him, her support unwavering. The courtroom was modest, with just a few chairs and a judge’s bench. The judge, an elderly woman with a stern yet compassionate face, motioned for them to sit.“Mr. Carter, Ms. Lawson,” the

I mean, beyond just getting through the day-to-day.”Scot looked up from his coffee, meeting her gaze with a serious expression. “I’ve been thinking a lot about it too,” he admitted. “I want us to build a future together, not just survive the challenges we face. I’m ready to take that step.”Mia’s eyes widened, and she set her coffee cup down, reaching across the table to take Scot’s hand. “Are you saying…?”“Yes,” Scot replied, squeezing

He had spent the day meeting with Richard, his lawyer, to discuss the ongoing legal maneuvers Jane was employing.

She glanced up as Scot walked in, a concerned expression crossing her face.“Hey,” she said softly, setting the laptop aside. “How did it go?”Scot dropped his briefcase by the door and ran a hand through his hair. “It was… exhausting. Jane’s latest demands are pushing the boundaries. Richard says it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep things under control.”Mia’s brow furrowed. “I thought we were

The morning sun filtered through the blinds of Scot and Mia’s apartment, casting long shadows across the living room. Scot was engrossed in a stack of paperwork when he heard Mia’s sharp intake of breath. The sound cut through his focus, and he quickly moved to the source.In the living room, Mia stood frozen by the coffee table, her face a mask of shock and distress. She clutched a letter tightly in her trembling hands. Her eyes, wide with a mix of fear and sadness, met Scot’s as he approached.“What is it?” Scot asked, trying to keep his voice calm despite the sudden rise of anxiety in his chest.Mia handed him the letter, her hands shaking. “It’s... it’s something I didn’t expect.”Scot took the letter and began reading. The contents were chilling and detailed aspects of Mia’s past that she had never disclosed.

Scot paced around his living room, his mind a whirlwind of emotions. The words from the anonymous message echoed in his head, haunting him relentlessly. “Do you really know who Mia is? She used to be a stripper, and she slept with men for money.” The words felt like daggers, tearing through the image of the woman he thought he knew. Mia sat quietly on the couch, her hands trembling as she clasped them together. She knew this moment was coming, but nothing could have prepared her for the weight of Scot’s silence. It was worse than anger. His pacing, the clenched jaw, the eyes avoiding her—it was all too much. Finally, Scot stopped, his voice strained as he spoke. “Why didn’t you tell me, Mia? Why did I have to find out this way?” Mia took a deep breath, her heart racing. “I was going to tell you. I was. But I... I didn’t know how.” “How long were you going to wait?” His voice rose, frustration clear in his tone. “Until someone else told me, like today? Until it blew up in both our

The morning light filtered through the blinds of Scot and Mia’s apartment, casting a muted glow over the room. Scot lay awake, staring at the ceiling, his mind racing with thoughts of Mia’s past and the recent revelation that had shaken their world. Beside him, Mia was tangled in the sheets, her face turned away, the peaceful facade of sleep belying the turmoil she was experiencing.Scot turned to Mia, his heart aching at the sight of her distress. “Mia,” he said quietly, “we need to talk about what happened yesterday.”Mia’s eyes fluttered open, and she turned to face him, her gaze heavy with sorrow. “I know, Scot. I’m ready to talk. I never wanted you to find out like this.”The previous evening had been a blur of shock and anger. An anonymous letter had arrived, detailing Mia’s past in graphic and painful detail. The letter described how, after being left to fend for herself, Mia had worked as a stripper in a club and had slept with men to make ends meet. It painted a picture of de

The dark chapter of Jane’s interference was behind them now, and tonight was all about new beginnings. Scot stood by the bar, glancing around the room, taking in the smiles of his employees and the people who had stood by him through all the chaos. His father, Mr. Donald Frankenstein, sat at the head of the large dining table, engaging in a conversation with Scot’s lawyer, Richard. Mia, looking radiant and healthier with each passing day, was mingling with Linda and a few others from the PR team.

The soft hum of the hospital filled the quiet room as Scot sat beside Mia’s bed, his hand gently resting on hers. The faint bruises on her face had started to fade, but the emotional weight of what had happened lingered between them. Mia was set to be discharged that evening, but the tension of the last few days hung heavily in the air. Scot’s mind churned with thoughts of Jane and everything that had unfolded since the attack. “I still can’t believe it’s over,” Mia whispered, her voice soft but steady. Scot nodded, his eyes clouded with worry. “I can’t either. But I’m just glad you’re okay.” The door to the room opened, and the nurse walked in with a warm smile. “You’re all set, Mia. Just sign these discharge papers, and you’ll be free to go.” Mia thanked the nurse, her hand shaking slightly as she signed her name. Scot helped her gather her things, but there was an unspoken tension between them. The news of Jane’s arrest had spread across the city, and Scot knew that the consequ

Scot sat in his office, staring at the spreadsheet in front of him, though his mind was elsewhere. The past few weeks had been relatively calm, but he couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that something wasn’t right. His thoughts drifted to Mia, wondering what she was doing, but he brushed it off, assuming she was at work or on her way home.Just as he was about to turn his attention back to his computer, his phone rang. Scot barely glanced at the screen before answering, expecting it to be his assistant with some minor office matter.“Hello, Scot Frankenstein speaking.”“Mr. Frankenstein, this is Dr. Williams from St. Matthew’s Hospital. You need to come quickly—Mia has been admitted. She’s... she’s been shot.”For a moment, time seemed to stand still. Scot’s entire body froze, the words echoing in his mind like a nightmare he couldn’t wake from. His heartbeat hammered in his ears, and the room spun around him.“What? What did you say?” His voice was hoarse, barely above a whisper.“Mi

The sunlight barely crept through the curtains of Scot’s room as his phone buzzed on the nightstand. Scot groaned, reaching over to grab it, his eyes squinting against the morning light. It was a call from his assistant, Linda. Normally, she would never call this early unless something serious was happening.He sat up quickly, his heart already racing. "Linda? What’s going on?" Scot asked, his voice thick with sleep."Scot, I’m so sorry to bother you this early, but we have a serious situation. A major client has expressed concern about pulling their contract due to the rumors circulating. We’ve had multiple inquiries from other clients too. It’s not looking good," Linda said, her voice fraught with tension.Scot’s heart sank.
