"How the hell did this happen?! Tony roared, the man was seething with anger. "I-I don't know Sir," He let out, his boss was scary at this moment, if pissed off even more he would kill him. "How the hell don't you know? You and those other stupid idiots were here the whole time, how did you people not hear her breaking a window?" He narrowed his gaze at him. "It's very low down here, we can't hear anything from up here, it's pretty hard to hear anything from there," Dam told him, feeling scared for his life. "incompetent idiots! Call the rest of your friends here, immediately!" Dan stumbled to his feet and bed out of there.Moments later he returned with all the other men, they all stood in a line before him, hanging their heads in shame. "Where were you idiots when she was escaping?" Tony bellowed. This caused all of them to flinch but none of them uttered a single word. He repeated his question but they all still kept quiet. He glared at them and then asked another question,
Seb searched every nook and cranny but couldn't find anything; he double searched but Scar wasn't in there, so he decided to go back down and find out the progress his companions had made. He reached the bottom and found Skye. "Any luck?""None and you?" Skye returned the question to him and he shook his head. They both sighed, "I hope Lucas has found something." Seb let out as they both headed to where the basement was. They reached the bottom of the stairs in the basement and found Lucas standing in the middle of the room deep in thought. "Found something," Seb said, bringing him back to reality. "Yes, something rather interesting, though it's just a theory," Lucas responded. Lucas went quiet for a few minutes and this made Seb quite impatient, "Spit it out already, we didn't have all day. "Lucas just chuckled, "Patience is a virtue, my dear brother,"This caused Seb to glare at him, "Why do you have to be such an ass?" "Rude, I ain't even say anything now." Lucas feigned hu
Scar had resumed walking after the sun had become less fierce, she had been walking for hours and the sun was now setting and soon it would be dark. She didn't have a flashlight or anything to help her with seeing so she needed to find somewhere to sleep. All she could see was forest, no caves or anywhere to take shelter, she sighed in frustration and kept on going forward hoping to find anything at all. Her legs were swelling, and she couldn't walk properly, but she had to go on regardless of that fact. The humidity began lowering and Scar started feeling cold, the cool breeze blew around her making her shudder at its contact. She kept on silently walking till she heard something, a noise then voices so she decided to hide away and see the owner. Tony's men reached where she was before hiding. "I think we should return." One of them proposed. "No, we still need to look some more, maybe we'll find her, and returning empty-handed will just piss Mr. Tony off, do you want a bullet
Seb, Skye, and Lucas searched the forest tirelessly without sleeping, the morning came and they were still awake moving in the forest trying to find Scar. It seemed like an endless run, the closer they thought they were the further it felt like but they didn't give up one bit, they kept on trying to find her. He needed to for his and her sake.Scarlett was awakened by the bright rays that shone upon her, she stretched her hands and let out a yawn getting up. She dusted herself and began walking. She didn't want Tony's men to find her, so she started moving away from them. It was still morning and she hoped that they were still far away from her and wouldn't find her.Her body was tired and sore but she had to keep on going, her feet felt like they had blisters making it difficult for her to walk. Her hair was messy and disheveled, and she looked like a hot mess, while walking in the forest, she kept on changing her shoes, she'd wear them and then she'd also take them off. She wal
After Seb had gone ahead with Lucas and Skye trailing behind him, the grip of the person holding Scar loosened, Scar could finally breathe properly, and a smile almost made its way to her face when she heard a familiar voice. "I finally found you," A shiver ran down her spine when she realized that it was Tony. Images of the little disgusting basement began playing in her mind, she didn't wanna go back there, not after reaching so far, not again. Without thinking or wasting much time she swung the gun hitting him with the barrel and too to her heels. Tony wasn't expecting that and fell because of being caught off-guard, he hit his head on a tree trunk making it bleed. He groaned in frustration as he briefly lost consciousness and then stood up trying to stabilize himself.Scar ran as fast as she could in the opposite direction from Seb, Lucas, and Skye. She didn't want to be found by either group and only wanted to get home to Nat. After a few excruciating minutes, Tony finally got
Scar's face turned blank after the shot rang out, she stared at herself but there were no injuries which meant she shot him. He staggered back and let go of the gun, she noticed it had so much blood and dropped it to the floor, her gaze went back to him and she noticed that he had blood on his lower abdomen. She took it as her opportunity to escape his clutches. She sprinted away without looking back her heart was hammering in her chest she felt kike she'd faint. 'I hope he's not dead, please be alive.' She inwardly prayed, she didn't want to go to jail but then it was self-defense. She tried brushing off those thoughts but they kept on haunting her, she couldn't properly focus on where she was going and because of that she almost fell off of a cliff, but luckily or unlucky for her it was Tony who caught her. "Scar, Scar, Scar, you can't just die like that without my permission? Absolutely not, so don't try it again because your life belongs to me." He said. Adrenaline was still
Scar waited a few minutes for her body to limply fall to the ground but it never happened, instead, she felt someone pull her to them and land on a firm chest. Scar proceeded to gradually open her eyes one after the other, when they were fully open she noticed that she was in Seb's arms as he tightly embraced her. Scar wondered how she was unharmed, the man aimed and shot. How did she dodge it? She turned her gaze and noticed that Jackson was clutching his hand that was bleeding, she understood that the sound she heard was a knife that was thrown at Jackson. When Seb, Lucas, and Skye were standing there motionless anticipating Jackson's next step would be. Before he pulled the trigger a knife landed in his flesh causing him to recoil and drop the gun to the floor. His men quickly went to check on him as Seb pulled Scar to him. Jackson was in a lot of pain as they removed the knife from his flesh, Tony cast a disappeared glance at him. This was what Jackson was dreading, he didn'
Seb and Lucas stood back to back protecting each other and they had gotten rid of many goons, but some were still there which was why they needed backup. Skye was on his own he had fought multiple men alone and surprisingly he conquered them all that they needed to hold on, soon they'd have backup and could leave the place.They kept at it and continued fighting, unknowing to them Tony was planning behind their backs. He wanted them to leave an opening, and then he'd attack and get rid of them. Scar patiently waited in the car though she was slowly losing her resolve she needed him to reach quickly, the last thing she wanted to see was her friend's dead bodies all because she couldn't help them. Scar was lost in deep thought that she didn't hear the slight tap on the window until the person knocked on the window finally getting her attention and also scaring her out of her skin. Her heart instantly picked up and she was alert. Scar turned to the window and sighed upon seeing Marti
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
