The door opened by itself revealing Seb, he looked as dashing as always with his hair swept to the side, the three top bottoms of his shirt undone and he stood there baffled not expecting her in the slightest. "Scar." Hearing her name come out of his mouth almost melted her to jelly but she stood her ground standing strong. Before she was able to say anything else a woman walked out of the office, Scar almost felt jealous until she saw the woman clearly; She was older than Seb and they both unmistakably resembled, they had the same color of eyes, and the same nose, anyone could tell that this was his mother. Scar quickly cleared the way for her and she stopped right in front of Scar. "Hello, are you here to see Sebbie?" She spoke out, her voice was all warm and motherly, for a second Scar wondered if she was also part of the mafia and sort of imagined her carrying a gun and maltiting people. Realizing that she had been too quiet which could come off as rude she spoke up, "My apol
"Wow, really?" She was astonished, honestly speaking she thought she wouldn't get the job at all, but she managed to. "Yes, you can start tomorrow, reporting time is 8:30 am, and knock-off time is 4:30 pm, when you arrive tomorrow come straight to my office to get your ID and for orientation." The person said. "Alright, I'll do so, thank you." Scar was at a loss for words; she didn't know what else to say; it was all exciting and unexpected. "Awesome, enjoy the rest of your day." The person said and the call cut. Scar couldn't believe her ears, she got that job, she was over the moon, she needed to celebrate, so she bought some stuff and instantly went back home so that She and Nat could celebrate. When she reached home, She found Nat in the kitchen having a snack."Hey, hey," Nat said looking at her friend who seemed too pumped up. "Hey, I've got news." Scar announced picking Nat's interest. "I got the job!"Nat got up and embraced her friend, "Aww, that's great, I knew you'd
The day came to an end like the wind and another day arose in the blink of an eye. Scarlett was both agitated and excited about her first day at work, she was just hoping that the person she'd be working under would be a kind or at least bearable person. "Wow, that's so professional, I like it," Natalie said as she noticed Scar walking down the stairs in her outfit which consisted of a white polka-dotted blouse with a gray pencil skirt. She looked professional with a hint of cuteness."Thanks, I was having doubts but hearing you say that has given me confidence about it." Scar spoke up, she honestly debated a million times before eventually settling on wearing it."You're leaving now?" Nat inquired, Scar seemed already on the go. "Yes, it's my first day, I don't wanna be late and make a bad first impression." She replied to her friend, she picked up her satchel and then headed for the door. "See ya later and have an awesome day." Nat bid her goodbye and she returned it with the sa
Two days had passed since Scar began working at Skye's company and it had been nothing but pleasant. She got along with everyone, without any trouble, and a majority of the people there were kind. On the first day, she pitched in some new ideas for a project their company was working on and Hugo loved it. He was instantly on board. On the second day, they went to present that same project to all the board members and new shareholders who decided to also invest in it, which was good for them. Then came today when they had to discuss and finalize details of a joint project which Seb and Skye had been working on, when Scar found out about it, she wasn't happy she would have preferred anything but this, Seb was the last person she wanted to see but she needed to compromise it was either her job or her personal life. It took her a while to decide until she eventually decided to go there all she needed was to stay away from Seb then everything would be alright. After giving herself a pe
A full week went by without Seb getting in contact with Scar, no random meetings, no letters, no phone calls, or texts, nothing at all and deep down inside of her heart she missed him, even if she didn't want to admit it, she missed him a lot. Since it was a Saturday, she and Nat were in the living room binge-watching most of their favorite series that they couldn't watch because of work. They spent half of the day doing that until the doorbell decided to ring. "I wonder who it could be?" Scar let out, it was Saturday and neither one of them was expecting someone so that was odd. "Who cares, just ignore it, they'll go away," Nat commented, not wanting to be disturbed. They both ignored it but it went off again after a few minutes, they ignored it again but still, it rang again. This caused Nat to get up in frustration and match to the door to find out who it was. She abruptly opened it and was about to blow up on the person when she realized that it was the two infamous Ashford
Who knew that Sebastian and Lucas could cook, Natalie and Scarlett didn't believe it until they saw it with their own two eyes. After they entered the kitchen the boys swung into action helping their mother cook, when Scar politely asked if they could help out she bluntly but politely declined and instead, asked them to help her husband who was arranging the table outside so that's where they went. Nat was curious about the whole waiting from outside and couldn't stop herself from asking. "Is it possible for me to ask you something, Mr. Ashford?"Seb's Dad looked up to Nat, from afar he seemed very but once you got closer and saw the warmth on his features you'd melt. "Of course, don't be afraid to.""Why have dinner from outside and not inside?" She asked, finally feeling relieved.He warmly smiled at her, "You'll see, I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise.""Oh, so there's like a hidden meaning to it, alright, I'm anticipating. '' Nat was intrigued by what surprise he was talking a
After dessert, the men were ordered by Mrs. Ashford to do the dishes and it was cute how they didn't bother protesting, it seemed they were afraid of her and never went against her. She was sweet, motherly, and warm but something about her said don't cross her path or be on her bad side, which neither Nat nor Scar were planning on doing. "I want to have a chat with you two." Mrs. Ashford said getting both girls' attention. "Sure, we can do that," Scar said, and Seb's Mom motioned for them to follow her to a swing right there in the backyard. They sat opposite each other, Nat and Scar on one swing and her on another. They stayed in a comfortable silence for a few seconds before Mrs. Ashford spoke up. "I found out about what my son, " She paused, "My sons rather, did to you and honestly speaking I'm ashamed, I know I raised them better and what they did was uncalled for.""I want to apologize on their behalf since you won't hear them out." Then she turned to Scar, "I know after what
After having fun on the bed and jumping around Natalie fell asleep, but Scarlett didn't she kept on thinking about what Seb's mom had said, and it struck deep in her soul, she hated running away, she hated that pained look on his face, she hated the pang in her heart and most of all she hated they were apart, what Mrs. Ash said made her realize a lot of things, why did Seb break up with Harper if he didn't love her, why did he help get her out of the picture after her whole scheming he could have easily used that to his advantage, why did he come to save her from Tony if he didn't care he could have left to Tony and bit care less. The wheels in her head kept on turning, she always saw something in Seb's eyes but didn't know what it was, it was warm and longing. Insomuch as she didn't want to get hurt it was time to finally put an end to this stupid childish behavior, she was mature and had to start acting like it. After finally coming to a decision she decided to go to bed and only
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
