Madeline's POV ( Scarlett's mother)
"Mother" I storm into her room.
"Madeline? what's wrong?"
"You can't possibly allow Guinevere to go out!" I clench my hands into a fist. "What about me!?"
"Darling, Guinevere has already done her work so she is allowed to go out" Mother sighs while she puts down her book that she was reading.
"I thought girls weren't supposed to be allowed outside" I mumble
"That's true and I do hate it when you girls are stuck here-
"Than why can't I go out? I finished my homework and I went to all the lessons you asked me to do"
"Because-
"Because Guinevere is older than me? That's it right?"
"No Madeline! You are getting it wrong" Mother stands up and tries to reach out to me but I slap it away.
"I did everything you asked for" tears start to roll down my face. "I even studied hard to get As for my dance classes and even cooking"
"Madeline hear me please" She puts her hand on my shoulders. "You can't tell father" she says softly. " I let your sister help out at the children's orphanage"
"So this isn't about work?" I wipe my tears away
"No it isn't"
" So, technically we still can't go out?"
"No we can't" she says sadly
Scarlett's POV
I turn around slowly to realise the horror. My horror. "Mother"
" Madeline" Jaxon glares at her.
" Sorry to disturb everyone but I'm here to take my daughter back" She apologizes to the crowd.
"No" Asher stands in front of me
"Asher! What are you doing!" I whisper shout and pull him back.
"I won't let you" Asher frowns
"Ahh you" Mother raises her eyebrows and smiles. "That boy that my daughter kissed"
I gasp but quickly covered my mouth.
"I'm sorry but she is taken" Mother points to Jaxon.
Asher growls and grabs my hand possessively.
"No" Jaxon says and my mothers smile turns down.
"I do like Scarlett but I also respect her" Jaxon takes a breath. " If she is happy with him, I wouldn't mind"
"Jaxon" I say softly. My heart melted when he said that. He looks at me and smiles.
"Wow, wait till your father hears this" Mother laughs.
"You didn't hurt her right?" Jaxon asks
"No" Mother says in a 'duh' tone
"Good"
"Where is father?" I raise my voice and she looks back at me.
