Tastes of Tomorrow
The next morning, the construction site buzzed with renewed energy. Contractors arrived early, laying cables, inspecting plumbing, and marking areas for flooring. Louis, now dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans with a rolled-up blueprint in hand, moved through the site with purpose. He wasn’t just a chef anymore—he was a visionary. A leader.Scarlett stood at the edge of the room, watching him give instructions. There was a quiet pride in her eyes. He had always been passionate about food, but now she saw a different fire in him—the fire of someone ready to create a legacy.When Louis finally took a break, she walked over, handing him a bottle of water.“Your leadership voice is kind of sexy,” she teased.Louis chuckled, wiping sweat from his brow. “Only kind of sexy?”“Well, I didn’t want to inflate your ego too much.”He smiled, then looked out at the half-built space before them. “Scarlett, I want this place to be more than just fine dining. I want it to feel like home for those wh
Road to the Empire
Louis raised an eyebrow. This was the first time Scarlett had ever mentioned her family. "I’m fine," Scarlett said, her voice steady. "No, I didn’t run away. I just… went on a little adventure." There was a pause. Louis could hear the deep voice of an older man on the other end, speaking with an authoritative tone. "Father," Scarlett continued, her voice softer now. "I know what I’m doing. I’ll come home when I feel the time is right." The conversation ended with Scarlett hanging up, her expression unreadable. She turned to Louis and gave him a faint smile. "My father finally noticed me on television," she said casually. Louis narrowed his eyes. "Who exactly is your father?" Scarlett looked at him playfully. "Do you think I’m just an ordinary woman?" Louis remained silent, waiting for her answer. Scarlett chuckled. "Alright, since you’re mine now, I’ll tell you." She leaned back against the pillows, staring at the ceiling. "My father is Edgar Valentine, the owner of Valentine
A Scorching Night
Louis let Scarlett lead him into the room. The dim glow of the chandelier cast a soft light over the spacious space, its luxurious gold and cream interior radiating warmth. Floor-to-ceiling drapes billowed gently in the night breeze, framing the glittering skyline of Valmont in the distance.Scarlett stood before him, her gaze intense. Her sharp blue eyes, usually unreadable, now held a rare warmth. She wasn’t just looking at him as a broken man—Scarlett saw him as someone worthy of love.Without a word, she reached for the first button of Louis’s shirt and slowly unfastened it. Her delicate fingers brushed against his warm skin, sending a shiver through him, making his breath hitch."Scarlett..." Louis's voice was rough, laced with hesitation.Scarlett simply gave a small, knowing smile. "Don’t think. Tonight... let me take care of you."Louis didn’t resist as Scarlett pulled him closer, threading her fingers through his hair before capturing his lips in a deep, searing kiss. The lin
Scarlett, The Heiress and the Grand Hilltop Manor
The car cruised steadily over the cobblestone road, heading toward a hillside estate overlooking the ocean. Louis gazed out the window, his eyes narrowing as a magnificent building gradually came into view.This wasn’t just an ordinary luxury home. It was Griya Tawang, a grand European-style mansion adorned with marble pillars, sprawling rose gardens, and an ornate wrought-iron gate guarded by several well-built men."This…" Louis furrowed his brows. "Scarlett, where are you taking me?"Scarlett simply smiled, her fingers elegantly twirling a strand of her long hair. "To my home."Louis turned to her sharply. "Your home?"Scarlett gave a casual nod. "I live in an apartment in the city, but this is my actual residence. I only come here occasionally to enjoy some peace and quiet."Louis swallowed hard. He had seen wealthy people’s homes before, but this mansion was on an entirely different level.As soon as the car came to a stop at the grand entrance, an elderly butler in a crisp black
True Transformation
Celeste rose from her seat, gracefully slipping her arm through Pierre’s. Before leaving, she stopped beside Louis and leaned in, whispering softly."I hope you can survive this, Louis."He turned to look at her, his eyes filled with raw pain.She smiled faintly before adding in a voice so low only he could hear,"Because after this, you have nothing left."With that, Celeste and Pierre walked away, leaving Louis frozen in place.His hands remained clenched on the table, his entire body numb.Scarlett stayed by his side, saying nothing.And deep inside Louis… something shifted.If they thought he would simply crumble and fade into nothingness…They were dead wrong.This wasn’t the end.This was the beginning of his revenge.Chapter 9 – The Kindling FlameLouis sat motionless in his chair, his eyes still fixed on the courtroom door that Celeste and Pierre had just walked through. His breathing was heavy, filled with restrained anger. His heart felt as if it had been pierced by a thousa
Divorce
The golden morning sunlight filtered through the window curtains, filling the room with a soft warmth. Louis blinked slowly, letting his eyes adjust to the light. His body felt refreshed, lighter, as if all the pain and burdens he had carried had vanished overnight.He turned his head to the side and saw Scarlett still asleep, her face peaceful. Her long hair spread across the pillow, and her lips were slightly parted. A small smile formed on Louis’ lips, warmth spreading through his chest.Reaching out, he gently brushed his fingers against her cheek. Scarlett murmured softly before finally fluttering her eyes open."You're awake?" Her voice was husky, still laced with sleep.Louis nodded. "And I feel amazing."Scarlett gave a sleepy smile and reached out to take his hand. "Good. Because today, we're starting everything anew."[Ding! Congratulations!
