"Let go off me!" Scarlett thrashed around as more than four hands grabbed unto her, successfully stopping from becoming a monster."I said let go off me!" She barked again, still struggling to get away from their strong hold.Seriously, were they aiming to break her hands?!Unfortunately, her frail strength could not be compared to that of the trained bodyguards, who held onto her with an iron grip.She immediately launched herself at one of the bodyguards, her attempt to break free fueling her determination. However, the other three guards swiftly intervened, overpowering her."Shut your mouth b*tch!" One of the bodyguards unable to bear her tantrums, shouted and shoved her to the ground earning a loud scream from her.It hurts.Black dots filled her vision yet that didn’t stop her from glaring daggers at the guard.God knew if eyes were guns loaded with bullets, the guard would be long gone. Hatred burned in her eyes as she glared at the guard, but the hatred in her eyes burned so
Scar groaned, "Ugh," as her eyes fluttered open, greeted by the blinding brightness of an unfamiliar room. Wait... a room?! she actually awakened from that bizarre nightmare where guards in black forcibly took her away while her parents stood by?Startled, she sat up on the plush bed, quickly scanning her surroundings. It didn't take long for her to realize that she was in a hotel room. But why would she wake up from the nightmare only to find herself in a hotel room? This could only mean one thing..."Damn! It wasn't a dream!" Scar cursed, frustration evident in her voice as she ran a hand through her blonde hair.Looking down at her hands, she noticed the faint hues of blue and purple. "These hands," she muttered, realizing that the bruises were likely caused by the black clothes."That oaf of a bodyguard!" Scar exclaimed, her anger boiling over. "Stupid bastard son of a biscuit!"But then, a wave of confusion washed over her. Why had they brought her to a hotel room instead of
Scar's expression remained blank as the maids continued to shower her with praise for their own efforts. She knew that her beauty was merely a canvas for their skillful makeup application.Alice, the leader of the maids, smiled and enthusiastically snapped various pictures of Scar. She believed that showcasing Scar's beauty on Instagram would attract more followers and potential patrons.Scar sat there, looking at her reflection in the mirror with a face that screamed, "I'd rather be anywhere else." If this was her dream wedding, she'd probably be so ecstatic that she could drop dead from the sheer grandeur of the makeup. But alas, this charade was nothing short of repulsive. As the unbearable squealing continued, Scar felt a surge of frustration rising within her. Just when she was about to lash out, the door swung open, and in walked a man who could make hearts skip a beat. Scar couldn't help but think, 'Wow,' as she admired his handsome features, from his mesmerizing smile to hi
Two years later, In a not so spacious living room and on a pink colored sofa, there sat Natalie, in front of the TV, savoring a delicious burger. Her early morning burger cravings were still going strong, just like old times.Just then, the sound of heels echoed through the house, Natalie's head snapped towards the stairs. Her mouth fell open in disbelief as she laid eyes on Scarlett, her best friend, standing there with her stunning blonde curls and shining blue eyes. The past two years had been tough for Scarlett, but seeing her looking so beautiful in her corporate office outfit brought tears to Natalie's eyes. Scar went from 'damsel in distress' to 'corporate goddess' in just two years!Natalie couldn't believe her eyes! She quickly set aside her beloved burger and stood up, letting out a low whistle of amazement. It was clear that Scarlett's stunning transformation had left her utterly speechless. Natalie's eyes widened in surprise, her hand flying to her mouth as she e

Scar sat among the cluster of nervous candidates, her fingers dancing effortlessly over her phone's screen like nobody’s business.While the room pulsed with tension, she seemed blissfully unaffected, engrossed in a rapid-fire exchange of messages with Nat about her latest online man.'Seriously for goodness sake, I’m having my interview!' She yelled inwards at the disturbance Nat was dropping on her.As she furiously typed away, the other candidates exchanged perplexed glances. They couldn't even fathom how she could remain so composed, seemingly detached from the collective anxiety that could kill them right now.Some even shot disapproving looks her way, silently questioning why she acted stupid.Amidst the heavy tension, Scar couldn't contain her frustration with Nat’s detailed account of that her online guy. She rolled her eyes at her phone, muttering under her breath. Unbeknownst to Scarlett, her eye-roll was the subject of speculation and eye-rolling among her fellow candidat
"You're hired," he said, leaving her speechless. She couldn't believe it. After all the strange questions he had asked during the interview, she never expected to actually get the job."Wait, really?" she blurted out, still trying to process the sudden turn of events.He looked at her, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Don't you want the job?" he asked, making sure he hadn't misunderstood her reaction.She’d better not dare refuse the job.She quickly shook her head, realizing she had given off the wrong impression. "No, no! I definitely want the job!" she exclaimed, a mix of excitement and relief flooding over her."Then what are you waiting for?" he asked, a frown on his handsome face, "Get started!"She jumped up from her seat, trying her best not to trip over her own excitement. But as she looked at her new boss, she couldn't help but notice a hint of grumpiness beneath that handsome face of his."Sir, what do I do?" she asked, her voice filled with a mix of hesitation and curiosit
Scar couldn't believe her bad luck. She had walked into the office, full of hope and excitement, only to be greeted by a handsome boss who turned out to be a real devil in disguise. Talk about a plot twist.As she looked down at her coffee-stained shirt, she couldn't help but feel a mix of embarrassment and anger. She had thought Seb was kind, but it seemed like his character was as deceiving as his good looks. That handsome face had fooled her big time.Determined to survive this job and show everyone what she was made of, Scarlet set her sights on one goal: getting that "bimbo" Michelle out of the firm. The challenge was on, and Scar wasn't about to back down. It was a battle of wits, and she was ready to fight tooth and nail.But amidst her frustration, she couldn't help but find humor in the situation. She Walked out of the office and chuckled to herself, thinking, "Who knew finding a job would come with a side of drama?"Seb, her once-beloved "Handsome Adonis," had failed her
Chapter 99Few months later…“I'm so sorry…” Skye barged into Seb’s home office after the guards informed him where to find Sebastian.Sebastian looked up from the papers in his hand and raised a brow. “Skye?”Skye tucked his lip in as he analyzed Seb’s new look. “Woah! Marriage looks good on you man!” Skye whistled low in his throat seeing Seb’s new looks and hairstyle.“Yeah it does, that's why you should also try it.” Seb snorted, focusing on the papers in his hand as Skye took a seat. “Man, I said I'm sorry.” “Don't apologize to me, apologize to Scar, I don't care if you attended the wedding or not. I'm even happy if you ask me because you might as well change your mind and take Scar from me on that day, you should have seen her. Fuck!” Seb went ahead to remember just how gorgeous his wife had looked on their wedding day.Skye sighed and shook his head. “It's good that I didn't come then, because I would really have taken her from you.” Seb glared at him while he chuckled.“Why
Finally, the awaited day arrived.The air was filled with anticipation as the wedding bells rang, echoing through the halls. The double doors of the church swung open, revealing Scar in a breath taking wedding gown. The Fabric of the gown closing like a river of silk, adorned with beautiful lace that glistened in the soft light.As Scar walked down the aisle, every eye in the room turned to her. She moved with grace and elegance, a vision of beauty and joy.Her presence commanded attention, and the room fell silent in awe of her radiance.Lucas and Natalie sat with Scarlett’s mother at the other side, while Sebastian's parents sat at the right hand side.Scar's wedding dress shone brighter as she walked towards her groom.Natalie turned to whisper to Lucas.“That dress is wow! I chose it for her.” Lucas turned to see the smile on her face and he suddenly asked, “Would you like the dress too?” “Of course, I would lik_” she froze as the meaning of those words settled in her mind.She t
Seeing Michelle there at the mall was the last thing Scarlett expected. And Michelle was working as a maid in the mall! Scarlett stared at her as shame burned in Michelle’s eyes. The past memories of how they met at Sebastian's company came flooding in. Scarlett’s heart which would normally hate anyone who dared to stand her up, melted on seeing the state Michelle found herself.Michelle had tried so hard to sabotage the likeness and the playfulness Scar tried to share at the office back then.The memory of how she had even made her add sugar to Sebastian's coffee and ended up getting the coffee thrown on her shirt, came flooding back. Michelle had really been a thorn in Scar’s flesh. She had really dealt with her and made her life miserable, but for some reason, Scar couldn't find it in her to hate Michelle. She was willing to forgive and let go of the past. Michelle was already paying for her sins by working as a common maid in the mall. What other punishment was worse than this?
Things went fine with Scarlett and her parents. Sebastian eventually bought them a house; Scarlett's parents needed to stay in New York for the upcoming wedding.The preparations were going quite smoothly and it was time for Scar to go for the official bridal shopping. Natalie of course was supposed to go with her for the bridal outfit selection. They arrived at Ash ventures and Scar went in to get the credit card from Sebastian. He was seated in my his office when the knock came at the door.“Come in.” Scar heard his deep yet smooth voice call out from the inside and she smiled before pushing open the door.Sebastian looked up from his desk and seeing she was the one who walked in, a smile broke out on his face.“My baby Is here.” He announced to no one in particular while Scarlett blushed. “You always have a thing to say.” She laughed.Seb shook his head, “Not always, sometimes your beautiful face also leaves me speechless.” He added, winking at her and gesturing for her to come clo
“Crying solves nothing and you can't keep running away from them forever. They're your parents.” Natalie said for the untenth time as she watched Scarlett who was laying on the bed with her eyes closed.“I don't want to see them, is that so hard to understand?” she asked as she huffed. Natalie had been trying so long to talk to her and make her understand that her parents came for good and not bad, but she refused to accept them back into the life they had aimed to destroy.“But you're still ending up with the same man they chose for you.” Nat reminded and Scar opened her eyes to glare at her.“Do you think I'm mad at them because of that? I'm mad because they lied to me! They almost sold me out! How hard is that to understand?” Nat sighed as she heard those words from Scarlett. Scarlett's voice broke at the end of her words.“Scar I understand what you must be going through, but you have to forgive them, at least you have parents” she said and Scar looked in her direction.“They've re
The next morning arrived quickly and Scarlett left the mansion. Once she had left, Sebastian went upstairs to get his phone. This was the perfect opportunity to discuss about the matter at hand. He phoned Natalie and she immediately came over to the mansion to see them.Lucas too came out of his room, rubbing his eyes and cursing Seb for always waking him up at the wrong times. He strutted forward into Sebastian's study room and found Natalie already sitting there. “You're already here?!” He asked, a surprised look in his eyes, “Don't tell me you slept over!” Natalie snorted and turned her gaze to face Seb, “I can't be bothered with him, tell us why you've called us.” Sebastian, who was leaning on his desk, finally sighed after watching the two argue like kids.“Well, Scar is out of the house. She's gone to work and I feel that this is the perfect time to discuss her parents.” He began and the others immediately paid attention to him.“So, her parents really want to meet up with he
It was finally Monday and time for the couple to return, they both wanted to stay on the sea more but knew that they had to go back. "Goodbye Captain Raphael, it was an awesome cruise." Scar waved as they exited the yacht. I'm glad you enjoyed it, have a safe trip you two." He said and the couple left. A car was already waiting for them, the driver took their luggage, putting it in the trunk, while Seb and Scar entered the car. Scar was still recovering from their trip, so Seb let her rest until they'd reach, and this gave him time to catch up on work that he missed that day. He craned his neck making a popping sound and started working. Half an hour later they arrived at Seb's place. He placed his laptop down and then carried a sleeping Scar inside, when he stepped into the house it was empty, it seemed Lucas was not around. He headed straight to his room and laid her on the bed and covered her then went back to catching up on work. Meanwhile, Nat and Lucas had returned home o
That night didn't end there, their bodies were addicted to each other, Seb and Scar couldn't get enough of each other, after that, they moved to somewhere more private; which was their cabin. They had a wild night, morning, afternoon, evening, and night of passion. They took minor breaks to recharge and would get back to making love, a moment didn't pass with their bodies not being intertwined and filling each other. Both of them only stopped when their bodies got tired and couldn't go on, Scar was exhausted by the end of it all and her legs were jelly. She doubted if she could walk while her core throbbed, never had she ever thought that she could have sex that much or want it that much. Seb had never thought he'd ever enjoy being with someone this much, Scar was something else, like a siren, enchanting, and everything about her was utter perfection he couldn't understand how that was possible. It was Sunday and they both slept in, Seb woke up first around 1 o'clock, he gazed at
Scar's heart was beating fast and too loudly she swore Seb heard it. When she was coming on this trip, she didn't think it would turn out like this, her heart was overjoyed and she was over the moon and because she wanted to seem calm she didn't squeal but she would when she went back home and was with Nat. Like on cue, Marry You by Bruno Mars was playing, she was impressed by what he pulled up, and noticing that she took a rather long pause she decided to speak up. "Wow, I didn't expect this, " She took in a sharp breath like she'd just won an award and was giving a speech. "Sebastian Ashford, I want nothing more than to become your wife, you bring a little bit of chaos to my quiet world balancing it up, honestly speaking I want to spend this lifetime with you too, so yes, I'll marry you, Mr. Ash."He didn't waste any time and put the ring on her finger, then stood up, carried, and twirled her around, "You've just made me the happiest man in the world." Seb let out his eyes gleamin
