Acting weird

I began to pace around the room in worry, the moment the strange lady, who Jace had called Stacy left with him.It seemed as if scarlet and the lady, had some sort of connection with each other.They must have known each other, from the way she yanked my arm and spoke, they definitely knew each other and it felt as if she suspected me for a split second.The way she stared at me, did not sit well with me at all, it made me worried.What If she found out about me not being scarlet? Jace would murder me, he would strangle me to death for ever daring to fool him, and he would also request for the money he paid me, which I had already spent on grandma's treatment."Hey.." I waved at a maid who was passing by, I beckoned for her to come over."Ma'am.." she accorded me with respect, with her head bowed sightly, a respect I never got or enjoyed back at my home. I wondered what my stepmom would be doing now about my disappearance, but this was not the right time to think about someone like her, a person who would never add meaning to my life."I need my pictures.." I demanded and she gave me a weird look.I had failed to realize that my words were too vulgar."Well you see.." I began."I happened to have misplaced a picture of mine, the picture is very dear to me, so i just wondered if any of my pictures were lying around. I would love to find it, you know memories.." I grinned sheepishly."I think we have some lying around ma'am, I'll get them.." She said and left immediately. I found myself sighing in relief. I needed to see how this scarlet looked, at least would able to point out the difference between the both of us, since they are all talking about how I changed my looks, or Scarlet’s, rather."Here it is ma'am.." the maids returned few minutes later giving me some pictures. I took a look at it, no doubt I and scarlet looked alike, so alike.She was close to being my doppelgänger, if not for the eyes and hair color, that must be the reason why they all talking about how I changed my look."I want to visit the salon.." I requested, I needed to change my looks to that of Scarlet." I don't think that would be necessary, the master has his own personal stylist, I can call him over if you want.." she offered politely."Please do, I'll be waiting in my room.." I blurted in a quick tone, dashing away to my room.......Few minutes later, the stylist had arrived. She was quite fast, I only needed to make a very few changes.I changed my hair color to blonde, the initial color of scarlet's hair, then I requested for a pair of brown eye contacts, to make everything look more convincing.This way if Stacy sees me the next time, she would be very convinced that I'm scarlet. If they asked why I changed back to my normal appearance, I would simply come up with an excuse.......I stood in front of the mirror, while I took a good look at my new appearance.I looked so much like her now. At this point, I could comfortably call myself Scarlet, and no one would have to question me, or have any suspicions about me.My attention was diverted from the mirror, the moment I heard a car horn.Jace was back, he came back earlier than I had expected.I raced out of my room, heading straight for stair.I could not wait to see his expression when he would meet the scarlet he has always known. To my dismay, I met Stacy instead.Something about her didn't just sit well with me and I had to make sure to stay very far away from her, she reeked of trouble."You're back.." I exclaimed in surprise, and she kept her gaze on me."Yes.." she responded, not retrieving her eyes from me."So you have decided to go back to your blonde…" Those words came out like anything other than a question. She added a smile, probably to make herself look nice."Yes, I think it suits me better.." I voiced out, though that was a very big lie. My normal dark hair looked so good on me, not this blonde. I felt so weird at the moment."I think everything suits you scarlet, you're very pretty you know.." she praised me, which came as a little surprise to me but I decided to take the compliment. I'm pretty after all."I know right, I might try red next time.." I teased chuckling,"I might as well join you.." she said, and we both burst out laughing, a laugh that was not sincere."Feel free..""Scarlet.. " she called softly,"Can I help you with anything?""Yes..""Can you please go into Jace's room and help me get some files?" she requested in a polite manner."You see, he's so busy at work, an important meeting came up and he really needs those files, so please help me get them..""I would have gotten them myself, but I consider that rude, you know you both are married, so please.." she explained, with a warm smile on her face."Alright.." I drew out, even though I had this hunch that she was up to something. I meant the sudden appearance. If Jace needed the files, he could have sent Chris instead. Why go through the stress of sending her? Not only that, they had left this place, going their separate ways.I headed to Jace's room, I had to be careful around Stacy, she seemed like a sly and cunning woman, I just had to be careful with her.I quickly grabbed any file I could find in Jace's room, leaving immediately. That was the first time I would be going inside his room, his room reeked of his attractive smell."Here are the..''my voice trailed off and I realized Stacy was long gone.She wasn’t there anymore! Didn’t she say she came to get some important files for Jace? Then why did she leave out of nowhere? Something was definitely fishy.Related chapters

JACEI drove into the garage, before going straight to my room. Work was quite hectic for me today, as I had a lots of appointment to deal with.I walked straight into my room, ready to have a good rest, when I noticed something.Someone had come into room, not only had they come in, the person had also tampered with some important documents I had kept before leaving. I've warned every living soul in this house about coming into my room, so who dared to go against me?"Chris!” my voice thundered. I called for him, whoever had the audacity to come into my room, would pay for doing so, by having a taste of my wrath. I promised to cut off their fingers, and feed it to the dogs."Sir…" Chris responded, running in with a flash."Gather all of the workers, right now.." I ordered,"Is anything the probl..""Now.." I spoke in a stern voice, and Chris knew better than not to annoy me, as he ran out to gather the workers.I walked out of my room, striding down to the sitting room where they h

ANASTASIAMy mouth suddenly went dry, the moment Jace appeared in front of me.I wasn't even able to move an inch. What was he doing here, in my bathroom and why the fuck was he ogling at my body that way?For a split second I actually thought he would pounce on me.I quickly snapped out of my trance and grabbed my towel which was just a few metres away from me as I rushed to cover my body with it."What are you doing here?" I questioned angrily. He was looking so much like a pervert, the way his eyes travelled round my body, sent chills."Why are you in my room? I thought the rules stated that we're not supposed to overstep each other's boundaries. What are you doing here? You didn't even knock," I questioned accusingly,"I get this is your house, but I do much respect my privacy Mr Morray, we made a rule after all.." I added.I just couldn't believe that the first man to see my nakedness would be him, he's not my type for fuck sake."You should have thought about that when you came
100 Days Contract With The Bachelor Regretting his action
JACE"I'm still a virgin…" those words kept ringing in my head while I walked out of the room. I felt so angry at myself.What have I done? I allowed my dick get the best of me. Look where it got me, I almost did something very stupid.I slammed the door to my room in anger, and raked my hands through my hair.I had to rectify this mistake, and make sure something of such never happened again.For now, the best thing to do was to avoid scarlet. I could never grow any feelings for her, she was nothing more than a woman I made a deal with.Women were never really a necessity in my life, I considered them as distractions, and did well to steer clear from those cunning creatures.I only got married to her for one reason, and that was because of my company.My father had died leaving the company behind and as his only son I was obligated to get the shares.When my father passed on, he willed seventy percent of his properties to me and the remaining to my cousin Liam, stating that I could o

LIAM"Good morning sir.." one of Jace's guards, Mike greeted me as I stopped In front of Jace's gate.I hoped they wouldn't pull up any shenanigans."I want to see Jace.." I requested.I came here this morning to speak with Jace. There was something I had to discuss with him."I'm afraid I can't let you in.." he said with a stern look on his face, Jace must be the one behind this.He has been making sure to avoid me. He’s either busy at the office, or he usually made excuses just so he could avoid me."I want to speak with your boss..," I repeated. I knew their order was from Jace, he could be so repulsive at times."The boss has ordered never to let you in.." he disclosed and I clenched my fist tight.Jace always looked for the slightest way to provoke me, this was not the first, nor was it the second time that he has pulled off this childish behaviour on me.He was always looking for a way to shame me but I always took them in.Well, I was going to wait and see who would have the la

My eyes searched the vicinity before proceeding to the door, feeling fulfilled. I was back on time before Jace. At least, he wouldn’t know anything about what I had done.“Bloody!” I exclaimed the moment I walked into the house and found him sitting on the couch in the living room. He had a glass in his hands, while his other hand rested on the arms chair. I was dumbfounded, and different questions tumbled in my mind, I thought he wasn’t around. He was not supposed to be at home by this time of the day.He noticed my presence and raised his head up, staring at him he creased his brow, then dropped the glass on the stool beside him.I could instantly tell I was in

Each second passed felt like a tick, in a time bomb, I could feel the agitation rising to the sky, and my mind surfed through endless possibilities of her whereabouts.I stood at the window when I heard the sound of a car, then watched her climb down a taxi. She held an impeccable smile, which grew dim with each stride towards the house. I could tell she knew how savage the outcome of her disobedience would be, as she searched the environment before proceeding further.She walked through the door, perplexed by my unexpected presence, I questioned her whereabouts and she lied about it, I could tell a lie wh

Our marriage was nothing but a contract after all.Being set up with another man was even more disgusting but Jace made me feel like a woman and told me that it was all a lie since I was drugged and couldn’t remember anything.

Jace’s POVI woke up with a banging headache and lay still for few minutes. I shut my eyes and fell asleep once more with the aim of getting rid of the headache before waking up. The hangover from the alcohol I took made me weak. I would have opted for painkillers but I felt too lazy to get up.I wake up half an hour later and yawned widely, satisfied that the headache had subsided though I could still faintly feel some pain. I leaned back against the bed frame and the incidence of the previous day flooded my memory.With a sigh, I gently rubbed my temples and shook my head as I remembered getting wasted to the point where I poured out my heart contents and grievances to Stacy and she consoled me.Stacy has been with me as a friend for as long as I remember and I completely trust her more than anyone else but I’ve been having my doubts about her and reasons to doubt her as well but I didn’t want them to be through as she’s been the only one who stayed with me come rain come sunshine.

Though Jace was now mine and there’s no longer any obstruction between us but I wanted the process to be fast and also to find something that would hold him down.If I got pregnant, he would surely take responsibility and I couldn’t wait for that to happen. Liam looked impatient and worried the moment I stepped in the room and scowled at me.“Where have you been?” He snapped.I got irritated.“Slow down your horses Liam, why are you been so irritable?” I threw back.He ran his fingers through his hair, something he does whenever he was in some sort of trouble or frustrated.“We’re in big trouble.” He divulged.

It meant that he had found the letter and my plan had worked just as I expected it to.“Jace.” I called out.He turned to look at me for a split second before turning his attention back to his glass of alcohol. I stood before him and tried to touch him but he flinched and acted as if my touch repulsed him.“Jace, what happened to you?” I asked worriedly.He ignored me and downed anoth
