Rita's POV:
I was at home with my mom, enjoying my cup of coffee.
My mother seemed to be really concerned when I told her about the filthy thoughts that my father had for Scarlett. Wiping her tears away, she said, "It looks like he is really determined to be with her."
Unwilling to talk about Scarlett anymore, I looked out the window, feeling irritable.
All of a sudden, I heard the doorbell ring, and when I saw that it was Richard, I could not help but frown. 'How dare he come to me after leaving me alone in the middle of nowhere?'
As soon as I opened the door, Richard barged in with his men, pointed at my room, and said, "Move everything out of that room."
Seeing the group of men walking to my room, I immediately stood up and stopped them. "What are you doing?"
Glancing at me for a moment, Richard pushed me aside and walked straight into my room.
I ran to my room, pointed at them, and roared, "Get out of here!"
However, Richard ordered his men, "Let's get this done quickly, gentlemen!"
I immediately pushed the men who were trying to take away my jewelry and shouted, "Stop! Those are my things! You're robbing me."
But then, Richard grabbed my hand, pulled me aside, and hissed, "I think you know exactly whether they're your things or not."
He then turned to the others and added, "Leave her be. Let's go!"
"Stop! Put those down. They are mine..." Due to my emotional state, I felt dizzy all of a sudden and lost my balance. I had to lean against the wall to keep me straight.
However, Richard completely ignored me and said coldly, "You're going to end up in serious trouble if you don't take good care of yourself. And this time, you may not be lucky enough to survive."
I ran to him and grabbed his collar. "These are all gifts that Charles gave me. How dare you take them away?"
"Well, they belong to Scarlett and Charles now. They have every right to take them back." Saying that, Richard peeled my hand off his collar and left with his men.
Stumbling, I tried to chase after them. My mom was so worried that she tried to help me, but I coldly shook off her hand and watched as Richard loaded my belongings in the car.
"We won't be taking the wedding dress with us, so you can look at it whenever you miss Charles." Richard glared at me with a snort and left.
I gripped the door to prevent myself from falling down. Anger was burning within my heart, suffocating me with its flames.
All of a sudden, another group of strangers knocked on the door.
They were two gorgeous women dressed in tight clothes, who walked to me and threw a big box at me with a plain look in their eyes.
"Who are you?" I asked coldly.
They looked at me and one of them replied flatly, "We came here to return these things to its owner."
I opened the box and found the photos that I had sent to Scarlett. However, the photos were all cut in half, and I got the side that only had Charles' picture. Looking at it I became so furious that I felt my head hurting.
"As for your photos, if you want to see them, you can search them online," one of the women said.
I raised my head and glared at her.
The other one eyed me with disgust and complained, "You look so pretentious in the photos that it makes me sick."
With that, they both turned to leave.
"Stop!" I shouted at them angrily. But they just left anyway.
I kicked the box, took out my phone, and dialed Lily's number.
"Are you free tonight? I have something that I need to talk to you about."
"I can make time." It did not take too long for Lily to agree to my request.
However, the anger burning within me did not cool down at all.
Thinking of the complacent smile on Scarlett's lips, I could not help but want to tear her face apart.
That evening, I went to the restaurant where I was supposed to meet Lily, and bumped into Scarlett accidentally. I saw Richard following her like an obedient little puppy.
But then I noticed that Scarlett was looking pretty fine. In fact, her belly looked bigger than it was before.
'Didn't she just miscarry the baby? What the hell is going on?'
While I was lost in thought, Scarlett glanced at me and said slowly, "Why do you look so pale? You should go to the hospital for a check-up. You need to take good care of yourself."
"Are you cursing me?"
I wanted to slap her. It would have been really great if she fell and had a miscarriage.
