I grabbed onto my phone with a hurried stride as I snapped pictures of each and every document I had in my grip and the pictures of the girls I didn't know, along with those of mine as well.As I scrambled out of his office after placing the files back in order to avoid suspicion, I let out a sigh. I made my way to the room, laying down with my phone placed on the side as I watched him walk in."You're back..." I uttered, welcoming him as he dropped his suitcase and loosened his suit jacket."I heard the news about the death of one of the employees..." he questioned, placing his suit jacket in the cupboard."Yeah..." I responded."Oh, wasn't he the same guy who dared touch you at the party... last night?""Yes, he was," I answered, my gaze unwavering on Sebastian as he slowly loosened his his tie, seating himself down and grabbing onto his laptop as he sat down on the couch close to the bed. His eyes showed no sign of shock or pity.Just a casual look, like the news was nothing..."We
"Alright, Emily, I will be right there...." I said, with Emily leaving after.With a sigh, I stood up as I gently opened my door, walking out of my office. My eyes caught sight of them standing, awaiting my presence.There were four of them, precisely."Good afternoon... are you Mrs. Scarlet Hawthorne?" one of them asked after I arrived before them."Yes, why...? I was told you were asking for me.""Yes... my name is Officer Rowan, and we are here to invite you to our station for a few questions...""Few questions? Alright then, but what is this about...?""You will find out once we reach the station, ma'am." He said.I was sure this was about Tristan's murder... I didn't want to be dragged into all this, but I guess I already was.Why did he have to get killed the night of the party?I saw no other option than to agree and follow the cops' words."Can I get my stuff at my office first?" I requested."Alright, ma'am."I left, returning to my office, as I grabbed onto my phone and purs
Scarlet POVComing back from my friend's wedding preparations, I wanted to surprise Aiden. At the busy airport, I enjoyed the view of the city. In the taxi, I felt the city's lively atmosphere.My heart raced when I arrived at the hotel. In the elevator, I felt more excited with each floor. But at Aiden's room, I heard his voice and a familiar woman's voice, making me pause and feel worriedCuriousity and confusion washed over me as I opened the door, only to be met with a devastating sightThere, in the center of the room, were Aiden and Evelyn, my stepsister, entangled in an intimate embrace.The scene felt like a nightmare as I watched them, my eyes welling up with tears"Come on, baby...yes, baby, oh...I'm about to come..."Aiden whispered breathlessly with Evelyn perched on top of him.My voice caught in my throat, a whirlwind of betrayal consuming meI couldn't believe my eyes"Aiden!" I finally screamed, my voice shaking with hurt and fury.Aiden jolted to his feet, shock writt
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
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
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
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
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
