Scarlett's POV:

I wasn't sure if it was because of seeing Nancy during the day, but I had a nightmare around midnight.

In my dream, she took away my kids, and even mocked and humiliated me in front of Charles.

To make matters worse, Charles asked my three kids to call Nancy their mother.

When I woke up screaming, he was awakened.

He immediately got up to turn on the light. Then, he embraced me from behind and attempted to comfort me. "Were you having a nightmare, Scarlett? There's no need to be afraid. I'm right here."

The sound of his voice was soothing to my ears, and I could feel just how worried he was for me.

Sadly, it wasn't enough to appease my apprehension. It only made me feel more terrified.

As I recalled what happened in my dream, tears fell from my eyes.

By the time I composed myself, I found myself holding onto Charles.

I quickly let go of his hands.

"Hey, hey… are you alright, Scarlett? How do you feel?" Charles was staring at me with worried eyes.

I shot him a glare and turned my back to him.

If I ever get the chance to leave this place, I would certainly take all my kids away!

Never would I allow my kids to call Nancy their mother.

Not long after, Charles turned off the lights again, and embraced me once more.

"There's no need to be afraid, honey. I'll always be by your side." As he hugged me from behind, he wiped away the tears from the corner of my eyes.

His embrace was warm, but my entire body felt cold.

"Charles, stop calling me that. We can't get back together!" I tried to shake his arms off me, but he held me even tighter.

"If you keep moving your arms like that Scarlett, I can't guarantee that I won't do something to you!" Charles warned.

His words were enough to scare me. Fearing that he would actually try to escalate this into something sexual, I decided to give up on struggling.
