Chapter: Chapter 21 A knock on the door and Scarlett hissed, grumbling as she made to ignore then it occured to her that it was her supposed wedding day.“F*ck!” Scarlett swore silently, and she got up walking towards the door when she remembered that she haven't brushed her teeth. And there's no way she would speak to anyone without washing away the stench.“Give me few minutes please, I'm coming.” Scarlett screamed, and she ran into the bathroom picking up her brush to brush her teeth when she looked up to her expression on the mirror.She looked so much worn out and her eyes lacked the warmth it usually possess, because she have been thinking about her safety all this while.That woman, Rose would stop at nothing to take back Damon and that she had conveyed out. Not like she cared about him, but she knew in the process of snatching back Damon she might get hurt.“No…… Why does it have to be me? What's my offense?” Scarlett asked, getting disgusted by her reflection so she avoided gazing into it

Chapter: Chapter 20“Yes, sir. It would be ready as soon as possible, I was waiting for your confirmation before I would proceed with the necessary closure.” Nate answered, grinning from ear to ear as he was happy that Damon his boss have finally accepted the proposal he have been working on for months now. “Sure, send it across to me as soon as possible.”“Thank you sir, should I also print it out or I should only send to your mail?” Nate asked, but he closed his mouth immediately realizing he had just asked something dumb.“Send as mail and also bring the file in five copies for the board and .” Damon replied calmly shocking the whole staff who was used to his ignoring self, lying back on his chair signalling that the meeting was over.The workers bowed and left the conference beaming with smiles, an approved proposal always means raise in bonus. They all left except Scarlett who have been usually quiet and it was pricking him but he couldn't say anything to her that would make her know his feeling

Chapter: Chapter 19“What's the new report? She have been missing for more a than forty eight hours now.” “I can't find her anywhere. I have placed a missing person advert everywhere you can think of, but it hasn't yielded any effort".."I thought you asked her to go back home for the day”. Julian said, looking up from his laptop with a worried expression on his face. “What do you mean? She was there a few minutes before getting into her car to leave. I watched her leave.” Damon muttered, pacing up and down with his thoughts raging wild.“Maybe she got annoyed and left for somewhere to calm her mind down. Women can be a lot to handle at times.” Julian suggested, smiling a bit as he tried to calm the situation down. “No, she wouldn't do that. She's stubborn, fierce and all that, but she listens.” Damon countered, still at a loss as he tried to know she went to.“She can do that, she wouldn't have expected the wedding so soon. It came as a shock to me too. I wasn't expecting something like that.” “Hmm

Chapter: CHAPTER 18“ I don't know why you are going this far when I agreed to. If you haven't lost that deal, you wouldn't have been doing this and I won't be stuck with you.” Damon said, trying to gaslight Scarlett who felt bad immediately. “Why are you always behaving this way? What rong did I do to deserve this?” Scarlett asked, as she kept on seeing more ridiculous clauses. “You made me lose a multi million dollars deals, do you know how much more that would have added to my portfolio. You made my company look like a joke to them all and you expect me to let it slide like that?” Damon asked, weirdly calm with his hands placed on his desk in a very comfortable position as she stared at i with her lips left ajar.“I know, and I'm paying dearly for it, I would have to stand you for a whole year..” That came out before Scarlett gave it a proper thought, but she clasped her hand over her mouth the moment she had realized her mistake.Damon wasn't pleased with her sassy reply but he didn't mention it so

Chapter: Chapter 17Good morning sir." Scarlett greeted, looking gorgeous in her gown and well-tucked and professional looking hair which caused Damon to stare her a lot longer than how he did.“Morning," Damon replied, without looking up as I dropped his coffee just the way I noticed he liked. He took it without saying a word of acknowledgement to me and took a sip without an expression on his face. . “Prepare the conference room in less than two hours; they should be here, and you would have to listen attentively to everything that would be said in the meeting. Make no mistakes so we won't lose any valuable information.”"Yes sir,” Scarlett replied, walking out of Damon's office with her heels clicking on the spotless marble tiles. " He doesn't have to be that cold; at least a thank you for the coffee is enough,” Scarlett muttered, not noticing that Damon was standing at the door of his office. “Thank you for the coffee," Damon said, surprising the wits out of Scarlett and she gasped. Her face turn

Chapter: Chapter 16Chapter 16Scarlett couldn't believe her ears. What the hell was going on here?“What are you talking about? Because I don't seem to understand. Become your pretend wife? How? What does that even mean?” Scarlett asked, looking visibly confused.“Okay, calm down, Scarlett. There's an explanation to all of this,” Damon said.“Then start explaining immediately, because I don't get how you just met me for the first time today and you're asking me to be your pretend wife — whatever that means,” Scarlett said.Damon sighed heavily. He knew it'd be hard, but he didn't expect it to be this difficult. He wished Julian was here to save him.“My last relationship failed. We had a misunderstanding because I had to do a sur—” he paused immediately. Was he about giving himself away right now? “Scratch that. I got into a venture my ex didn't support and she wasn't patient enough to understand what I was trying to do, and then she cheated. I had to break up,” he said.Scarlett was losing her patience
