Scot: Crowned by Fate Chapter 38
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
Scot: Crowned by Fate Chapter 43
Eleanor sat in her car outside Jane’s apartment, the weight of her decision pressing heavily on her shoulders. It had been a restless night, filled with regrets and a deep sense of urgency. Today, she was determined to make one last attempt to reach her daughter, even if she feared it would be in vain.With a deep breath, Eleanor steeled herself and walked towards Jane’s building. Her thoughts were turbulent, replaying her recent conversation with Scot. She hoped that her visit could somehow help mend the rift that had grown so vast between them.Eleanor knocked on the door, her heart racing. After a moment, the door creaked open, revealing Jane with a mixture of surprise and irritation.“Mom? What are you doing here?” Jane’s voice was cold, her eyes narrowing.“I need to talk to you, Jane,” Eleanor said, trying to keep her voice steady. “Can I come in?”Jane hesitated, her expression guarded. Finally, she stepped aside, allowing her mother to enter. Eleanor walked into the living roo

Scot was a bundle of nerves as he drove Mia to his father’s mansion. Despite the disturbing events with Jane, he was determined to introduce Mia to his father, Mr. Donald Frankenstein, and show her that his intentions with her were serious. 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

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
