The Billionaire's Genius Wife



Scarlett desperately wanted to take a nap, hoping that when she woke up, her memories of Xander and that bitch Zoey would be gone.  Or maybe, when she wakes up, all she sees in Xander's office is her dream.

But even after trying to sleep for two hours, she could not get rid of the image. It was as if those memories were engraved in her mind, tormenting her every moment.

The pain in her heart was intense as if someone had rubbed salt on an open wound. She tried to divert her thoughts, but nothing seemed to work. She knew she had to face the reality of her situation, but the idea of Xander with someone else was too much for her to bear. At her young age, this is the first experience of betrayal she ever felt.

'Gosh!! I need to ask Brother Nine to make a memory-erasing poison!!' Scarlett spoke to herself while staring at the cloud outside.

After hours of flying...

Scarlett finally landed in country X, a place she had only heard of before. Despite no snow, the cold air hit her as soon as she stepped out of the plane. Scarlett shivered and tightened her coat around her body as she followed Seven off the plane.

"Where are we going?" Scarlett asked Seven.

"We have a basecamp in this country, where we'll stay. It's about an hour's drive from this airport," Seven explained.

Scarlett nodded, relieved to have a place to stay. She didn't care where they lived. As long as she could get away from Astington and all the chaos that had been going on there. Scarlett needed time to clear her head before deciding what would happen to her marriage to Xander.

Scarlett couldn't help but admire the beautiful scenery around her as they drove towards the base camp. The landscape was unlike anything she had ever seen before. She saw tall mountains and clear blue lakes. It was all so breathtaking.

Finally, they arrived at the base camp. It was a vast cozy mansion situated in the heart of the forest. The cabin was surrounded by tall trees and the air was clear.

Scarlett could already feel her mind calming down, knowing she had made the right decision by coming to this place.

She stepped out of the car and saw Nine standing near the house's main entrance with a look of shock on his face. She only managed a faint smile as she approached the house.

"Hey, Brother Nine," she said, not waiting for a reply as she entered the house.

"Hello, welcome, Three!" Nine greeted Scarlett as she passed him, his expression still surprised. He turned to Seven, who had followed Scarlett into the house, and asked, "Seven, why is Three here? I don't recall we have any mission that involves her."

Seven shrugged. "Yeah, I don't know. Don't ask me."

Scarlett walked further into the house, taking in her surroundings. It was a spacious, well-decorated house with a homely feel. Far different from some of their organization's base camps in other countries.

Nine sat across from Scarlett. He looked at her with a mix of curiosity and concern. "Why did you come here, Three? I don't recall we have any mission that requires your involvement.." Nine asked.

Scarlett nonchalantly shrugged as she removed her coat and placed it on a nearby chair. "I'm here on my own account. You know, about my birth mother. I'm here to investigate her and her family."

Nine raised an eyebrow. "I see. Is that all?"

Scarlett sighed and looked at him, slightly irritated. "What do you want me to say, Brother Nine? Well, I need to rest, and I thought coming here would help me clear my mind..."

Nine chuckled. "I see. Well, you're always welcome here, little sister. You know that." 

Scarlett smiled at him gratefully. "Thank you!"

Then her expression turned serious as she turned to Seven, who was standing by the window. "Seven, come here. I need to talk to you," she said.

Seven walked over to them, "What's up?"

Scarlett looked at both of them, making sure they were paying attention. "Listen, I need to make sure you guys don't tell Rex about my presence here..." 

She was worried that Xander would contact Rex and ask for her location. Right now, she doesn't want to meet Xander yet. She needed more time to calm her mind.

"Could you explain in more detail?" Nine asked, looking confused. He didn't understand why Scarlett wanted to hide from Rex.

Scarlett hesitated for a moment about how she could convince them. When she wanted to answer, she heard Seven say,

"Damn it, Three!" Seven exclaimed. "Are you trying to hide from both Two and your husband? Or just one of them?"

Scarlett's heart skipped a beat at the mention of Xander. She felt a sudden pain in her chest, but she tried to hide her emotions.

"Well, except for you two, I'm avoiding everyone," Scarlett confessed. "Because you know that crazy Theodor now knows where I'm hiding. So please don't tell anyone that I'm here, including Rex!"

Scarlett could see the worry written on Nine and Seven's faces. They knew that Theodor was not someone to be trifled with.

"Don't worry, Scarlett. We won't say a word," Nine assured her.

"Oh, no worries!" Seven said.

Scarlett could breathe a sigh of relief hearing their answer. She thanked them for their understanding and support.

Seeing these two men no longer ask her, Scarlett immediately changed the topic to her purpose for coming to this city.

She was eager to find out the results of her DNA test with one of the Withers family members. So, she could start planning her next move if they were indeed her mother's family. 

"Brother Nine... Did you find what I was asking you to look for? The DNA of The Withers family?" she asked.

"O yeah, that. No, not yet," Nine replied. "The Withers family has always been heavily guarded, and you know I'm not as good as you and Seven in the field."

Scarlett nodded in understanding. She knew that Nine was more of a researcher than on a field mission.

"But, I've found my target. You guys can continue the action to get the samples!" Nine said, a note of excitement creeping into his voice.
