The party scene was wild, especially with all the tension between Scarlet and Tristan. I’m still trying to figure out Sebastian; there's something about his character that’s just addictive. Scarlet, on the other hand, I’m still on the fence about, but she’s definitely going through a lot

A man, his face shrouded in shadows, stepped out and approached me with a sense of urgency. His voice low and cautiousI could notice he was asking some questions, but I could barely comprehend, in my current state, intoxicated and in despairBefore I could fully grasp the situation, he whisked me away in a flash as I ended up in his car.I could barely do anything to resistI hardly got myself. All I could see were flashes followed by an intoxicating spinThe next thing I noticed was suddenly being whisked to his opulent mansionThe world passed by in a blur of neon lights and distorted shapes , my mind struggling to process the surreal turn of eventsUpon the arrival, the man led me through the lavish halls. My unfocused gaze taking in the grandeur of the surroundingsI siezed to resist, but damn. Why did I have to drink so muchMy gaze flickered as he led me to a room where he laid me on the plush bed, his touch gentle yet firmHis presence was both enigmatic and alluring, his eyes

Broken Dreams
Her words stung my heart as it skipped a beat. My legs lingered, but this was it. I shouldn't waste any more time.I entered the room, scanning the seated interviewers. Their gazes fixed on me as I walked in. I let out a slow sigh."My name is..." I was sayingBut my words were slashed by a woman raising her hand.She stood up from her desk, approaching me as I tried to smile. I couldn't grasp what was happening."I'm sorry, but you arrived late. The interview is over. Perhaps next time, you'll learn to be punctual."Her simple words pierced me like thorns, my dreams sinking as our eyes met.How could this happen? I worked so hard for this job. So close, only to have it end.Tears welled up in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall."Please, ma'am... I promise this was a mistake. Something came up... please..." My plea fell on deaf ears."Kensington Global Innovation is a famous company worth billions. Candidates like you seek employment here. Knowing the competitive environment, I w

The Encounter
Sebastian POVI was driving when I spotted a lady on the street, who was drunk and walked unsteadily. Being a gentleman, I had to approach her.I tried to communicate by asking her some questions, but because of the effects of alcohol on her, it was obvious that she could not understand me.She did not show many signs of being in a bad condition. Quite the contrary, she was quite sexy.I could not help but check her out from head to toe."Hey, you wanna come home with me?I asked, to which she just landed her head on my shoulder, intoxicated.I could not resist being flattered by the seductiveness of her flawless-looking skin, which emitted a subtle attraction.Thus, I got to bring her to my car and start my journey. All the time, she was muttering"I hate him! I hate them all."I was completely clueless as to who she actually meant, and I really didn't care, either. Maybe she was struck by the loss of love.It is a funny thing that people still fall in love in this century.In my opi

The Deal
As the evening approached, I was worn out from the day's exhausting meetings.Those people were arguing and standing side by side, which was frustrating and tiresome.I made a mental note to address the situation later, as I needed time to regroup and recharge.In my tired and angry state, I felt stressed. Suddenly, my gave a phone buzz, causing my gaze to drop slowly.It was Rafe Montoya.I had been expecting feedback from him for a while now.I grabbed my phone, answering the call. "So what's the update?". "I've gathered information on her, boss," he began."Who is she?" I asked, my curiosity piqued."Her name is Scarlet Everston. She had an interview at Kensington Global Innovation today. I know you had your eyes on that company, so I thought this might be important."Intrigued, I leaned forward. "How did you find all this out?". "I have my methods. I'm good at what I do, boss. I even managed to get her phone number. She lives with her parents, and I have all the details of her e

The Contract
Scarlet POV stood, my gaze fixed on him as he drove off in his car. My mind fell into silence. This was surely my chance, but he was a complete stranger. One part of me dared to confront him for stalking me and thinking he had a chance with me, all because of a one-night stand that I hated myself for having. The other part saw this as an opportunity to accomplish my dreams and attain what I couldn't. I wanted revenge for Aiden's betrayal. Our engagement was just weeks away, and now he was hooking up with my stepsister. I hated him. This was my chance, but why had he come here all of a sudden after proving not to care last night? And now he was offering me a marriage contract? I wanted more answers, but getting them wouldn't be easy. First, I needed to know his name and everything about him. "The Knightbridge Global Enterprises?" I whispered to myself. I hurriedly left the café and returned home, my legs swiftly carrying me to my room. With a quick lock of the door

The puppeteer
Sebastian POV   My gaze caught her going through the letter... I approached her, snatching the letter from her grip.  I could sense she was stunned.   She seemed the curious type, but this was a close call; I wouldn't want her to find out about my underground dealings.   The packages were arriving today, and Nikolai Petrov had informed me. I had to be present to ensure safe transport.  Those men may prove greedy and cheat, but surely, they won't take the risk of messing with me. I sat on the chair, my gaze fixed on her. "So, have you signed the contract?" I asked. Her stammering was enough to show she hadn't yet. "I haven't signed it. I—I need a pe

Blood and Deceit
"Wait..." Nikolai uttered, silencing my footsteps. What does he want this time? I hope he's not planning on doing anything foolish now, is he? If he thinks he can outsmart me, it would surely be a mistake on his part. I turned my gaze to him. "What, Nikolai?" I asked. "As I said, the goods were delivered safely thanks to me, but there were some errors that almost occurred. Don't worry, I took care of it already." "What errors?" "Why don't you follow me, Mr. Hawthorne? I will show you." A second thought I would think of was that, but what could be the sudden issue? I nodded, following Nikolai, ready for any sudden change from him, for I trusted him not, and if I were to trust either, it wouldn't be a mafia lord like him. A man who also understands tactics and logic, just like me.

Betrayal and Defiance
Scarlet POVAfter I had left his office, his driver dropped me off at my house, claiming it was his boss's order. Weird, but alright.I got out of the vehicle, my legs slowly approaching the door with a creak. I opened it slowly. My gaze caught sight of Mom, Dad, and Evelyn seated, just like they were expecting my arrival. I chose to ignore them, walking up to my room, only to be drawn back by his call."I have some announcements to make, Scarlet..." My Dad said.What else does he want to say this time, and why wait for my arrival to do so? Curious, I approached him, my eyes fixed as I sat on the couch."I have come to a conclusion about who should attain ownership of the restaurant..." he said.My Dad owned a popular restaurant. He and Mom had managed to take care of it. Back when I was young, Mom always told me I would be the next to take it to great heights. I guess the time was finally here.Though I wanted to work at the Kensington Global Innovation as the Chief Technology Officer

Web of Deceit
Three weeks After. "You're mine... There's no escaping from that," he uttered, tightening his grip on me. His scent reeked of alcohol; precisely, he was drunk. His eyes darkened with desire as he shoved me onto the bed, pinning me down. I tried resisting, but it was of no use; his brute strength was too much for me to resist. He callously took what he wanted, leaving my body aching as he fell to the other side of the bed, asleep. It had only been three weeks since we had traveled, following his plan not to draw too much attention. But these three weeks had been a hard time for me; I was just his tool, a tool of desire meant to entice him, nothing else. Still, the truth lies; I knew what I was getting myself into when I signed the contract. I had it all, so why? Why do I feel like I've just been used? I mean, this was a gain-gain for both of us. He had managed to secure a job for me at Kensington Global Innovation within a blink during the weeks—a job I had been pushing throug
