Scot: Crowned by Fate Chapter 35
The day after Jane’s latest attempt to expose Mia’s past, Scot and Mia sat in their apartment, the weight of the confrontation still heavy in the air. The storm Jane had stirred seemed to hang over them, casting shadows on their attempts to move forward. They had decided to take the day off from work to focus on their relationship and address the fallout.Mia sat on the couch, her eyes red from lack of sleep. She stared blankly at the coffee table where a newspaper lay, its headlines blaring about the latest scandal. The exposure of her past had sent shockwaves through their lives, and she was struggling to come to terms with the impact it had on their future.Scot entered the room with two cups of coffee. He set one down in front of Mia before taking a seat beside her. His expression was a mix of frustration and concern. “Mia, we need to talk about what happened yesterday.”Mia nodded, taking a sip of her coffee. “I know, Scot. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around it all. I just c
Scot: Crowned by Fate Chapter 36
The grand mansion of Donald Frankenstein stood as a testament to decades of success and opulence. As Scot drove up the long, winding driveway, he couldn’t help but reflect on the contrast between the serene elegance of his father’s home and the chaotic turbulence of his own life. The last few months had been a whirlwind of legal battles and personal conflicts, and now, faced with Jane’s relentless attacks, he felt the need for guidance more than ever.The front door swung open before Scot could even knock, and there stood Mr Donald, his imposing figure softened by a genuine smile. “Scot! It’s been a while,” Mr Donald said, pulling his son into a warm embrace.“It has dad,” Scot replied, stepping into the grand foyer. The sight of the familiar surroundings—the marble floors, the ornate chandeliers—brought a fleeting sense of nostalgia. “Thanks for seeing me, Dad.”“Anytime,” Mr Donald said, gesturing towards the spacious living room. “Let’s catch up. It’s not often I get to see you lik

The grandeur of the house felt hollow to Jane as she walked up the marble steps. It had been weeks since she’d felt anything but bitterness and anger. Now, an unexpected wave of sadness had washed over her. She found herself yearning for the comfort of her mother’s presence, the one person who had always been her refuge, despite their complicated relationship.As she approached the door, she hesitated for a moment. The estrangement between her and her mother had been a slow burn, fueled by Jane’s decisions and her mother’s disapproval. But today, Jane felt an urgent need to seek solace, to reconcile her turbulent emotions with her past mistakes.The door opened to reveal her mother, Eleanor, who looked older than Jane . Her eyes were still sharp, but there was a softness in her gaze that Jane hadn’t seen in years.“Jane?” Eleanor’s voice was filled with surprise and concern. “What are you doing here?”Jane swallowed, trying to keep her voice steady. “Hi, Mom. Can I come in?”Eleanor s

Jane sat at her kitchen table, the dim light of the early morning casting long shadows across the room. The conversation with her mother had left her with a mix of emotions. Her mother’s disappointment was clear, and it stung deeply, but Jane’s resolve was only strengthened. She felt as if she were standing on the precipice of a cliff, looking down into an abyss of uncertainty. Yet, instead of retreating, she prepared to leap.The apartment, once a symbol of her autonomy and strength, now felt like a cage—a place where her thoughts were too loud and her fears too palpable. Jane stared at the stack of papers and files scattered on the table, evidence of her relentless battle against Scot and Mia. The documents, her arsenal of legal maneuvers and personal attacks, now seemed to weigh heavily on her shoulders.She picked up her phone and dialed a number she had been hesitant to call. It rang twice before being answered.“Hello?” a voice on the other end said, sharp and inquisitive.“Hi,

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the town. The town, often serene, was now a battleground of emotions and conflicts. For Scot and Mia, the challenges seemed never-ending, especially with Jane’s relentless pursuit to cause disruption in their lives.The day after Jane’s meeting with the special investigator, tensions were running high. The news of her new move had reached Scot and Mia through various channels, and it was clear that Jane was not backing down. The decision to confront Jane directly had been a difficult one, but they knew it was necessary to address the deep-seated issues that had been plaguing them for so long.Scot and Mia arrived at the park, a familiar and symbolic setting for their confrontations with Jane. The evening air was crisp, carrying with it a sense of foreboding. The park, usually a place of solace, now felt like the stage for one final act in their ongoing drama.Jane was already there, standing by a bench beneath a large oak t

The next morning, the sun’s rays filtered through the sheer curtains of Scot and Mia's apartment, casting a warm glow over the room. Scot sat at the kitchen table, a cup of coffee steaming beside him, but his mind was elsewhere. Last night’s confrontation with Jane had left him emotionally drained, but it had also sparked a renewed sense of determination.Mia entered the kitchen, her face reflecting a mix of exhaustion and resolve. She poured herself a cup of coffee and joined Scot at the table, sitting across from him.“Morning,” she said softly, her voice carrying a hint of fatigue.“Morning,” Scot replied, his gaze meeting hers. “How are you holding up?”Mia took a sip of her coffee, considering her response. “It’s been a rough few days, but I’m okay. We’ve managed to push through, and that’s what matters.”Scot nodded, reaching across the table to take her hand. “I know last night was tough. Jane’s not going to make it easy for us, but we need to focus on moving forward.”Mia’s ey

Jane sat in the dimly lit living room of her apartment, the shadows cast by the storm outside stretching long and distorted across the walls. The room, once a reflection of her successful and controlled life, had now become a chaotic mess—echoing the tumult in her mind. The polished surfaces and neatly arranged furniture seemed to mock her, a cruel reminder of the life she once had, now slipping through her fingers.She had tried everything to regain control: manipulation, deceit, and leveraging every bit of power she had. But Mia remained steadfast by Scot’s side, and each passing day made Jane’s attempts feel more futile. The bitterness in her heart had festered, and her once confident demeanor was now overshadowed by desperation.Jane reached for her phone, her fingers trembling slightly as she dialed a number she hadn’t used in years. The sound of the ringing seemed to reverberate in the silence of the room, each second stretching out as she waited for the call to be answered.“To

Scot drove through the quiet, tree-lined streets of the suburban neighborhood, each turn and curve bringing him closer to Jane's mother's house. The serene environment contrasted sharply with the turmoil that had defined his recent weeks. Jane’s behavior had spiraled to a level that made him uneasy, and he hoped that speaking with her mother might offer a glimmer of hope.Arriving at the modest, yet well-kept house, Scot took a deep breath before stepping out of the car. He approached the front door and rang the bell, the sound echoing softly in the stillness of the afternoon. After a few moments, the door creaked open, revealing Jane's mother, Eleanor, standing on the threshold.Eleanor's eyes were red-rimmed and tired, a testament to the emotional strain she had endured. Her face, once confident, now bore the marks of a woman deeply troubled. She managed a weak smile as she greeted Scot.“Mr. Frankenstein, it’s… good to see you,” she said, her voice trembling slightly.“Eleanor,” Sc

The soft evening light filtered through the large windows of Scot’s house, casting a warm glow over the room. The mood was lively, filled with laughter, conversation, and the clink of glasses as Scot’s staff, family, and close friends gathered to celebrate not only Mia’s recovery but the triumph they had achieved together. 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. Her laughter was light, but Scot could still sense a certain weariness in her eyes, the aftershocks of everything she had endured. As the night unfolded, Scot felt a wave

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

The cool of the night seeped through the gaps in the curtains of Jane’s apartment, casting long shadows across the room. Jane moved methodically, her hands trembling as she stuffed clothes into a suitcase. Her mind raced with a mix of fear and determination. She knew she had to leave, and she had to do it quickly. Her plans had crumbled, and Scot’s inevitable retribution loomed large in her thoughts.She packed her belongings with an urgency born of desperation. Every sound seemed amplified in her ears, every creak of the floorboards a potential signal of danger. She glanced at the clock, anxiety tightening in her chest. She had hoped to leave before anyone could catch her, but as she zipped up her suitcase, a sudden knock at the door made her jump.Jane froze, her breath caught in her throat. She stared at the door, her mind racing. Who could it be at this hour? Her heart pounded as she approached the door cautiously. Peering through the peephole, she saw a group of uniformed police

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

She had made the call, instructing Tommy to proceed. Now, all that was left was to wait.Her heart pounded in her chest, each beat echoing with the gravity of what she had set in motion. There was no turning back. If everything went according to plan, Mia would be out of Scot’s life for good. And Jane? She’d be free from the torment of seeing him with someone else. A cruel smile tugged at her lips as she imagined Mia helpless, bleeding.The evening air was crisp, the sun dipping below the horizon, casting a golden hue over the city.

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. He had known that the drama with Jane and the rumors circulating around town could eventually bleed into his professional life, but hearing it was actually happening was a gut punch."Which client?" Scot asked, already throwing back the covers and moving towards

It was a new step in their relationship, a sign of his commitment to building a future together, even amidst the chaos.The drive was quiet, filled with the low hum of the car engine and the occasional rustling of papers on the seat. Mia glanced at Scot, noticing his tension. She reached over and gently placed her hand on his arm.“Are you alright?” Mia asked, her voice soft and reassuring.Scot offered a faint smile. “Yeah, just a bit nervous. It’s important to me that you get along with my dad. I know things have been rough, but I want us to move forward.”Mia squeezed his arm. “I understand. It means a lot to me that you want to introduce me to him. I’m sure everything will be fine.”As they approached the mansion, the grandeur of the house stoo
