Chapter 41: Esong is here

They were just wrapping up going over building plans when Scarlet received the message from Esong that  he was coming.

"I am coming." it simply read.  Three simple words and yet to her they sounded like the firing of a bullet.  Why was he coming? What did he want? What if he tried to take Justin away from her? 

In a panic, she told Dorian, "Dad, we have to go back right now." 

"Why, has something happened at home?" 

"Justin's father has sent a message saying that he is coming and I don't know why. I need to find my son and keep him close just in case."

Dorian knew that Esong's mother had once threatened to take Justin away from Scarlet. If that family was not afraid of scandals, they probably would have done so already. 

And Esong did not like his daughter or his family moreover, it would be better for them to be present when he arrived.
