SCARLETIt was three days before the Harvard Commencement Day; Mom surprised me with her early arrival. She was even more excited than I was. She wanted to help me choose my graduation dress and volunteered to do my hair and makeup. Thomas didn’t come with Mom. He said he was busy, but he promised to attend my graduation.Thomas had changed ever since the day he found out about my secret. The same day I learned that he was hurting his son physically. He wasn’t the same man who called me just to check if I was alright or needed something. Nothing.Mom called Luke over the phone, and she asked him if he was coming to my graduation. He agreed, of course, but he was still in London, probably devouring someone else’s pussy.A few days ago, I found photos of him with a mysterious blonde on the internet. They were attending a corporate gala, and he was unlikely to be found on the news with a woman. I stopped talking to him after that day.I didn’t want to Google him because of my stalking te

LUKE“Congratulations, Mr. Alejandro.” Cameron Waltz stood, reaching her hand out to me. I stood and accepted her hand. A smirk played on the side of her lips.“Thank you.”“I’m sorry for the trouble I caused you. I just needed a diversion. I can’t let the public know that I’m selling a property. I’m sorry, your girlfriend probably hates me right now.”“I didn’t tell her about you.”She let go of my hand and chuckled. “And I am right that you have a girlfriend. I wish we could meet again, Luke, but that would be impossible. I’m going back to Edinburgh in two days.“Yes.” And it’s Scarlet’s commencement day in two days. I had no reason to stay here. “Thank you, Cameron.” I closed the binder with the contract and the title of the sixty percent ownership of the Hightower Club and handed it to Rebecca.“I’m sorry I couldn’t help you that much. I’ve been trying to reach Mr. Velazquez, but I’m afraid he’s out of town.”“I heard.” The fucker was, unfortunately, hard to catch. The last time R

SCARLETThomas asked me to talk to him upstairs after we ate. Mom volunteered to wash the plates, so I came upstairs and followed Thomas to Luke’s office. Thomas was sitting in Luke’s chair when I found him. He put down the book he was holding.“Scarlet.” He said, “Come here.”I nodded. I sat on the chair in front of him.“I heard you’re leaving on the day of your graduation?”“How did you know?”“I know a lot of things, Scarlet,” he said, but he kept his voice low and calm.“Yes. I am going with my friend Katherine.”“I can help you and your friend. I’ll purchase a house for you, so you don’t need to rent, and I’ll provide everything you might need.”“That’s very generous, Thomas.” But I couldn’t stop asking myself, how did he know? I bit my lower lip. “But I’m sure Katherine already has a place for us.”“Just do what I say, Scarlet,” he pressed.“Why are you doing this? I don’t understand at all.”“I don’t want you to think that I want you to leave. You are my daughter now, and I wi

SCARLETI woke up early the next morning. I could already hear murmuring in the kitchen. I smelled butter and bacon in the cold air. Nate was probably early today. It was unusual for him to come early because he was a sleepyhead.I swung my legs out of bed and wandered out of my bedroom. Katherine wasn’t talking with Nate. Luke? I frowned hard and blinked my eyes a couple of times, but he was still there.Luke and Katherine were in front of the kitchen. She was laughing at him. Luke was smiling back at her, as well.“What is going on?” I told them.“Oh, there she is.” Katherine grinned.Luke turned around. He was still in a white long-sleeved shirt, and an apron hung around his waist.“You... you are here?”Luke smiled. “Do you want me to leave?”“No, no.” I swallowed hard, still surprised. “I thought…” I don’t know how I should react. Of course, I was happy to see him. I missed him too much, but his presence made me sad at the same time. He didn’t know a single thing about Thomas’ pl

SCARLETIt was my graduation today, and my fellow students and their parents filled the university ground. I could hear the loud excited voices everywhere. The rows of seats were full; I joined the students with the surname beginning with C. I was in the fourth row. I spotted Katherine in the same row, but she was at the end of the line since her surname was Collins. Thomas, Luke, and Mom were in the bleachers. I knew they were watching me.At precisely ten, the senior professors arrived, decked out in their black and crimson regalia. We stood and applauded the teaching staff. One of them was the Chancellor; he stepped in front of the stage and initiated the opening speech. When the Chancellor welcomed another speaker, he introduced him as a young businessman from New York City.He introduced himself as Zachary Waltz, CEO of Bandwidth Ventures. A prestigious IT and engineering company in Edinburgh. A spark in my head reminded me that he was the cousin Katherine told me about and the

SCARLET I opened my eyes and saw a white ceiling on top of me. I blinked rapidly to get a clear view of my surroundings. I wasn’t in my room or in my own bed. I suddenly felt a sharp pang of pain in my right leg. “Uh, w-what is this…” I moaned. My throat felt dry. “What is going on?” Right. Everything flashed back in my mind. I remember everything. The graduation, my family, walking away… Raoul came to me and then to the restroom… Luke… He was there. I remembered he was there. “Scarlet?” I heard Katherine’s voice. I shifted my head to the other side. “Katherine?” “You are awake! Thank God you’re awake!” She immediately sat next to me, squeezing my hand tight. “Where’s… where’s…” “Your parents came out for lunch. They didn’t sleep waiting for you to wake up. You’ve been asleep for a day,” Nate said. “No.” I shook my head. “And Luke? Where’s Luke? What happened to me?” “Shh… It’s okay. He’s sleeping.” Katherine pointed out the man sitting on the couch with his arms crossed ove

GABRIEL I woke up in an unfamiliar bed with a pounding head, and according to my hazy memory, I had sex with a redhead whose legs curled in my stomach. The last time I found myself in a stranger’s bed, I saw my face plastered across the front page of a tabloid with the most outrageous title. Stark Apparel Inc. CEO, Gabriel Stark, Spotted in A Hotel with A Senator’s Daughter Having a Scandalous Affair! Clearly, the media only targeted me because of my reputation in the corporate world. The woman in the tabloid wasn’t even a senator’s daughter. She was the mayor’s daughter. That’s why I didn’t believe in the news. They just wanted to sell papers. The past few years have been chaotic enough. I was a businessman—not a fucking Hollywood actor. I moved her leg aside, creeped out of bed, and tried not to make a sound. I swiftly dressed, picked a sheet of tissue paper from the nightstand, and a pen from my suit jacket, and then wrote on it. Thank you for letting me devour your pussy last

AUDREY“Mr. Stark, the applicants are here. Should I let them in?” Ms. Mason poked her head through the slightly cracked door. Ms. Mason had initially interviewed five applicants for the internship position, but I couldn’t see the people she was talking to inside.“Go ahead, Ms. Mason,” a man’s voice said from the door.Before the end of our initial interview, Ms. Mason, the head of HR, briefed us about the company’s higher-ups, and we would answer them for the final interview. First was Bryan Jameson, the General Manager, who would be our direct superior. The second was Coulson Stark, the Vice-CEO. Last but not least was the CEO, Gabriel Stark. Gee, the name alone made me curious as hell.My best friend Chelsea called me about the job vacancy only yesterday, leaving me to fly from Phoenix to New York last night. Typically, people wouldn’t grab such an opportunity. It was too abrupt. But I couldn’t seem to ignore how promising the position was.According to Chelsea, Stark Apparel was

JULIA I came to Le Grandi at exactly seven as Henry instructed. I was already guessing that he and his brother were up to something—and this beautiful lilac dress Adam sent to my apartment was the indication. This was going to be our first official date. We had been fighting all our lives because of endless misunderstandings after all. I realized that Adam and I were always in a situation neither of us could stop. This time, fate brought us back together.Excited and nervous as well, I proceeded to the main entrance. The door attendant greeted me with a wide meaningful grin as if he was expecting my arrival. The lights abruptly shut off the moment I stepped inside, then a single spotlight flashed on.My palms caught my mouth instantly when I found Adam standing next to an elegantly arranged table with candlelight, a floral centerpiece, and linen drapes. He was dressed in an impeccable navy-blue tuxedo, holding a bouquet of white roses. Two violinists stood behind him, playing a soft r

He kissed me as he continued to pound inside me. He looked at me as if I was the most desirable woman he’d ever seen. There was no one else I could want this bad—only him.It was already nine o'clock in the morning when I woke up, and Adam's arms were still wrapped around my waist. Though incredibly exhausted and sore, I felt great for the first time in years. His face buried in my hair. We were having sex nonstop, and if it weren't for my exhaustion, he probably wouldn’t stop.“What time is it?” Adam whispered, finally awake.“It's nine.”“Then, I'm late.” He gave me a tender kiss on my forehead, then swiftly stepped out of the bed. Still undressed, he walked straight to the bathroom, letting the blanket fall on the floor, revealing his round, full butt I’d been gripping with my palms all night. He was ridiculously sexy. I couldn’t get enough of him. My insides were beginning to flare up again.He disappeared into the bathroom for several minutes, and then he came back dressed in a t

ADAMI have to tell Bianca now.Damn it. It wasn't that hard. I could just let them take my site in Thailand, ask her parents to sign the transfer papers, and it’s all done. I just couldn't find the right time because I didn’t want to make a scene. I knew Bianca too well, and I knew that it wasn’t going to end well.I had to, though. Immediately. I couldn’t wait to get Julia back, especially with my possessiveness issue. I was always jealous. I wanted to keep her by my side and shove all those men away, even if it's my brother who was now dragging Julia to the dance floor.I clenched my fists.“Don't you want to dance?” Bianca said. She fucking couldn’t stop holding me in public. “Or do you want to get back to the suite?”“Bianca, please...” I moved her hands away from my neck. “Don't.”She sighed and drank another shot of red wine.“When are you going to stop making this harder for us? Hmm? Or maybe I could just tell Dad to let us get married right away? Isn't that what you wanted fo

I let the running water flow continuously as I washed my hands, letting myself cool. I looked up and then looked at my reflection.What are you doing, Julia? Haven’t you had enough of this? Why did I have to be caught up in this situation all the time? I shook my head, then took a handful of water and wet my face.“You're marrying him?” a deep, dangerous voice abruptly spoke behind me. I looked back in the mirror and found Adam’s perilous stare. He was seething.“Do I need to get your permission?” I asked as I continued to dampen my cheeks.“Is that true what he said out there?”“Why does it matter to you?”“It does matter to me,” he said tightly. “You said you wanted me, but when I didn’t answer, you’re already running to Henry?”I dried my face with a napkin, then I faced him. “Then what is your answer, Adam? No matter what we do, we can’t be together.”“But you can't marry him.” He grasped my shoulders, shaking his head.“What made you think that I will? Now, please leave me alone

JULIALouis ushered me to his table, and since I was already aware that Adam will be right next to us, I prepared myself not to look surprised when I see him with his ex-wife-slashed-fiancée. Why was our world so close? Why did I have to see him in every corner of the world?His answer to me last night was clearer than diamonds. He was not going to choose me. He would not break up with Bianca because they had a deal. There was no way he was going to cut their deal because his company was at stake. I was getting pissed with myself already. Should I talk about it with Henry?As expected, Adam and Bianca were there—only a few feet away from our table. Damn it, and she was wearing the same shade of dress as I was, but her hair coordinated more with her dress than mine.I almost wanted to scream. I tried not to look at them, but damn, I couldn’t help it. Adam was wearing a matching suit, and he was fine-looking as always. Unfortunately, they looked so good together. I did not want to appea

JULIAI didn’t go to the site with Luke the next day. I stayed in my room, and fortunately, I needed to make gazillion calls and check the paperwork for the new hotel. I had breakfast and then ate lunch by myself. Luke and Adam would be working together at the site until the next day. My boss did not call, so I guessed it was fine.It was five o'clock when I finished the paperwork. I was suffering from a backache, but I still needed to prepare for the awards night in the evening. Henry hadn’t called yet, but I was preparing for the event anyway.I opened my suitcase and unfurled the only dress I could bring. It was a strapped, long, crimson-red dress. The neckline was a low V cut. I only wore it once, when Claire celebrated her twenty-first birthday. I would match it with my nude heels.I did not care if I look pretty in front of Henry, unlike before. However, he deserved a friend to be with him, and I didn’t want to embarrass him. He might be expecting an award, and I would be walkin

JULIAThe meeting began in the afternoon at the Ritz-Carlton—the hotel we had checked into along with the staff. Adam came, and fortunately, his fiancée didn’t. I was so nervous since he didn’t even reply to my message.What if ignoring it was his answer?Luke enlightened us about the contract, and then we were now officially in business with Cavendish Enterprises. They both signed the deal and sealed it for legalization. Adam’s company was going to be our contractor for the establishment of the new Hotel B in Los Angeles.As stated in the contract, they would be in charge of the resources, workers, and structural design. Adam initially showed Luke the plan for the new hotel, but we were still going to discuss it precisely with the whole team. My new boss still needed to meet Adam’s architects and designers when we return to New York.“It’s a great pleasure working with you, Mr. Cavendish.”“It’s mine as well. Thank you, Mr. Alejandro.” Adam shook his hand, and then the members of our

The door attendant took her cashmere-made cardigan as she and Adam entered the restaurant. She whispered something in his ear while she was slipping her hands on his arm. Adam smiled slightly at her. My heart suddenly felt like a bomb that was going to explode at any moment.“Cavendish said he was traveling alone,” Luke spoke, “but he brought the blonde. This is interesting.”I rolled my eyes at Luke, heaving out a sharp breath. “Really now?”He chuckled, noticing my boredom. “No, seriously. You're so defensive. Who wouldn't notice her long legs?”“What is wrong with you?” I slapped his shoulders unintentionally.“Aw...” He grabbed his shoulders. “What? I was only joking.”“It’s not a good joke. Er… sorry about that. I almost forgot that you're my boss.”“I'm just so glad Jake isn't here. Sit next to me, Julia,” he instructed.“Why?”“Just do it. Cavendish’s fiancée's with him. Sitting next to me would look like you're my date.”“You are clearly having fun with this.”He laughed. “Why

JULIAThese are the important documents we need for our trip to LA. Have you tried calling—” A knock from the glass door interrupted Luke from finishing his sentence. His secretary was standing at the meeting room door.“Excuse me, Mr. Alejandro. There's a visitor in the lobby, and he said it’s important. It's actually for Ms. Taylor, sir,” Ms. Craig informed.“For me?”Luke frowned as he gazed at me. “Expecting someone?”I shook my head. “Did he say his name?”“Oh, his name is Henry.”Henry. How did he know where to find me? “What did you say to him?” I queried. “We’re in a meeting.”“Ms. Craig, we're about to finish here,” Luke prompted. “Tell him to wait five minutes.”“Yes, sir.” She left.“It's okay, Luke. I could just meet him outside.”“Julia, it's eleven fifty-five. Take a break. Come to my office when you get back. And oh! Please contact Cavendish. I’ve got to tell him something about this project.” Luke grabbed the binders and stood up. He held the door open. “Julia?”“Oh, t
