Ruthless Romance
His eyes locked on mine wide and wild, he moved towards me and put his hand on my shoulder, lessening the distance between us.
I could feel the tension in my own body, the effort of not giving in at that moment, of not letting him pull me against him.
Not letting myself take that one chance, however formidable and absurd and unwise, and kissing him the way I had thought, I would never in my life.
I had never wanted like this before. I understood him, smiled a little when he smiled. I saw through the defenses he put up to what was underneath.
There was no Eric James Winslet more real than the one I saw in his eyes when I looked up at him.
"You can close your eyes," He whispered in my ear. My eyes fluttered shut, his mouth came down on mine. And that was it.
All the self-control I had exerted over the weeks went by. My arms came up around his neck and he pulled me against him. His hands flattened against my back. I was up on the tips of my toes, kissing him as fiercely as I could.
I didn't know what I should have done or said next if it would have been something I could never have pretended away or taken back, but I heard a soft hiss of laughter.

Chapter: EpilogueScarlett Miller's POV After two months "Miss Miller, to the time you won't pay the bills. We can't continue the treatment." A voice broke the train of my thoughts. "Bills? But I have cleared them a week ago." I was baffled by the sudden endorsement. "Yes! You did. But it was of last month. This month needs a clearance right away." She sternly replied while forwarding the papers in my hand. I certainly opened them right away. "$20 million." I whispered and traced the figure. By no means Its possible to clear the whole debt. My lips were trembling and tears were flowing through my eyes. "Now what will happen? How will I manage to do this?" I turned back to the glass door and saw a man lying between the tubes and machines in the bed. How merciless life can be. I was taught this in these last two months. There was not a single day that I had slept peacefull

Something worst is going to happen." I heard a voice from behind me.I turned around to see Jenna standing there. I was baffled after seeing her like this. But she moved towards me unhesitatingly."How are you?" She came and kept her hand around my cheek.The wind was harshly blowing and it was making trees rustle. A cold breeze stirred my hair at that moment. I closed my eyes to feel that freshness on my skin."I am alright." When my eyes didn't match my words. She frowned at me."Come here." She extended her hand in my direction.I was baffled at first and when she encouraged me to do. I did.She took me to the benches there under the green shield. Both of us sat there. For a while, there was complete silence. Nothing came out of my mouth so as her. But I was truly enjoying the solace.

Chapter: Chapter-110 (Something worst going to happen)Scarlett Miller's POVHow do I forget always, you don't know how to stay in a family?" He stopped.My breath was hitched. I was really wishing that he couldn't speak something stupid."For that, you need to have one. A person who lived in a broken family. How do they understand their value?" He didn't fling at those words which he was speaking."What did you say?" For a second I thought, I was misunderstanding him.I was always told that not everything's perfect. I knew that. And I knew it's all right to have a little bit of regret every once in a while. Because I was regretting every bit of standing at this place. I was regretting being in someone's life who didn't worth it."Why are you so astonished?" Grandma came forward while breaking the chains of my thoughts."When it's between him and me. I don't appreciate anyone's interference." I sternly replied."What do you mean interference? I am his grandma. I have full right t

Chapter: Chapter-109 (You don't have family)Scarlett Miller's POVI looked at the screen and sighed. A pair of eyes were throwing daggers in my direction. I turned around looking at him."Scarlett, aren't you too naive or maybe stupid as well?" He said those words all of a sudden while making me all confused."What do you mean by that?" I asked him."Nothing. Grandma might be waiting for us. Come." He uttered.I didn't move initially I was hesitant to say that I didn't want to come there and face all of them already.When I didn't move he looked at me amusingly, "What happened?" He frowned at me.I ignored him and walked towards the bed. I sat on the edge of it."I don't want to come downstairs." I simply said.With that, I flopped onto the bed on my stomach and felt a little relaxed. I didn't want to lie down but I was just hungry and tired at the moment."What's this now?" He came forward and pulled my arm to make me sit.I was fondling with my finge

Chapter: Chapter-108 (Naive or Stupid?)Scarlett Miller's POVThe sound of water pouring on the roof woke me up. It was raining again, a slanting gray sky was visible. I very carefully levered up an eyelid and shut it again fast.I buried my head under the darkness of the pillow and pretended it was night. Although it was not. I couldn't see the point of getting up. I truly had nothing to look forward to.After few minutes I got up feeling sluggish and tired. I tried to stand up from the bed, that's when I felt a sharp shooting pain. My head was throbbing.I stood up looking out of the window with a dark and harsh taste of wine still in my mouth. I was feeling dizzy and drowsy.When I saw out of the window, memories of last night manifested slowly from the back of my mind."For now I don't want anything. The only thing I want is 'you'. Then be it for a night "I remembered those words. Oh no! What the hell I have done more? I covered my face with my palms.Every new de
