When Greg saw the location, he knew exactly where it was. It was their secret hideout on a mini island that was about an hour or so from his current location.
He immediately drove there, all the while stewing in rage at the fact that Steven had hid Serena in a place that was once their sacred place.
When Greg finally reached, he unceremoniously barged into the house. Headed straight for where Steven had most like kept Serena, the basement. Sure enough he had found Serena but there was no sight of Steven around. Sadly he was too late as the deed had already been done. As for Steven, they had not heard from him after that.
The event of that day were kept under wraps and only the three parties involved were privy to the event of that night. No one from their respective immediate family were aware and maybe some suspected but never voiced it out .
Since then Serena had confined her self to her home, refusing to meet anyone not even Gregor. When she finally started recovering from her trauma, she received news that brought her to the point of despair.......she was pregnant. She had attempted to abort numerous times but was told that the risk of abortion was too high for her body to bear.
Throughout the course of the pregnancy, she was placed in therapy to help her cope with the taught that she was pregnant with her rapist child.
Gregor didn't abandon her throughout her ordeal and was always there for her, but their relationship was never the same again. It only improved when Serena became pregnant with their own child.
The result of that accident was Scarlett, a child that one could foresee will grow even more beautiful than her mother. She was sadly destined to never to have her parents love in her life. It wasn't until many years later that she discovered the reason her parents hated her.
After her birth, Serena refused to recognize Scarlett as her daughter, no one in the family welcomed her. Her parents because of the accident, and other family member because they thought she wasn't of their blood. To the outside world, she was an abandoned child the couple took pity on and adopted.
Her nanny was the one who named her her Scarlett, and was the only one who loved and always believed she was destined for greatness.
Early on, Scarlett realized that her parents didn't love her, but at first she thought it was because they were always busy but when Seline was born she knew that wasn't the case. But she never gave up, she thought if she did well then I parents will surely love her.
In order to win her parents love, Scarlett tried everything she could think of. She was always on her best behavior, read lots of books cause she didn't want her parents to think she was stupid and she loved reading. She patiently and eagerly waited for the day her parents will notice her.
Her nanny taught her to read and write. She was never allowed to meet with or interact with anyone and never once left the house. and eagerly waited for the day she could impress her parents with her skills.
The first time Scarlett met other people from outside her home was during her sisters birthday. Her sister, Selina Jones was a well loved child and was showered with love from both her family and outsiders. Seline looked more like her father, she had her father's blonde lush a paired with her mother's grey eyes. Though she was very beautiful, she was not as beautiful as Scarlett. She was spoiled rotten by her parents.
On Seline's birthday, she tried to impress her parents. She had learnt and wrote a poem about family, at least what she thought and wished her family will be like. By the time she ended, there were applause all around along with cooing sounds from mothers.
She had looked forward to her parents praise and was so happy when she received a pat on the head from her father and a smile from her mother. She even got praises from other people which made her extremely happy. She thought that finally she was gonna have the type of family she wrote about, and she went to bed with a smile never leaving her face.
Her hopes were dashed the next day. She woke up expecting to see her parents but what she saw was her nanny packing. When she asked where her parents were, her nanny had only given her a sad smile in return and told her they were moving to the side house.
Years passed and Scarlett had grown to realize that her parents will never be happy with anything she did. They will only be happy about her on the day she dies. How she knew this? Well her mother told her personally when she was just eight years old. She had cried so much and asked her mother why, but all she got was the cold shoulders and her mother's back as she turned to leave. Scarlett had slowly stopped smiling and became a quite child with her heads buried in books. She only ever smiled when she was with her nanny and with her sister. Although Selina wasn't aware they were related, she always taught she was the nanny's daughter.
All these was before she clocked ten. Her life changed completely when she was ten, whether for the better or worse, was still a confusing subject.
