Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Pltiful Inheritance 

“I now know why I had to lose my best friend Luca.” 

For a fleeting moment, Luca’s heart ached. She still thought of me as her best friend?‘ 

Hearing Scarlett‘s next lines, however, Luca‘s body stiffened. She said, “It‘s because... I was meant to be with someone greater.” 

Almost immediately, Luca’s eyes narrowed at Scarlett. He thought, ‘She was meant for someone better? It‘s exactly what Courtney said to me. Scarlett never saw me as someone who deserved her... How could she?‘ 

To his understanding, Scarlett merely pitied him. There was a time when he became ill. He was never the same again and only Scarlett knew about it. She accepted his marriage proposal because of his connections, his father‘s law firm, just so she could achieve her dreams of becoming a successful lawyer.

‘She never truly loved me. It was all an act,’ Luca reminded himself. 

Recalling the phone call he made to her a few days back, Luca was taken aback. He never expected a man to answer her mobile. Whoever it was, even suggested that he was below him. 

‘Who was he?‘ Luca speculated, ‘Who would even want to date Scarlet after the video of her circulated around the internet? And the fact that she could not get a stable job?‘ 

Luca‘s heart became filled with hatred. It has been a year since he had purposely delayed his wedding with Courtney, but after learning that Scarlett had moved on with someone new, he finally agreed to set a date for their union. 

“Now don‘t say that, Scarlett. How could you look down on Luca? You never really appreciated Luca before. Who would be someone greater?” Luca heard Courtney say. She purposely approached Luca and sat on his lap, saying, “For me, Luca is the best man to marry. He is smart, he has a good family, and probably is the youngest attorney to become a partner amongst all the law firms in the city.” 

She pecked on Luca‘s cheek and said, “I am so proud of you, my love.” 

“And we know you‘ll be in good hands, Courtney. After all, you are getting married to Luca James. We are proud of you for finding a true gem,” Cindy said, smiling at Courtney. 

While Luca and Courtney briefly displayed affection toward each other, Scarlett just looked down at her shoe. She recalled how Luca used to be her gem. He was the one who put a smile on her face and the same man who put the sparkle in her eyes. ‘How in the world could Courtney suggest that I never appreciated Luca? And how could her parents not recognize her when she was with Luca?‘ 

A sigh left her lips, and she could not help but swing her head.
