Chapter 22.They reached their designated location, it was a lavish five-star Italian restaurant called Antonios.The restaurant was new, only a few months old but had made a lot of impact that many influential people would always come to eat there.Skye walked to her side and opened Scar's door, holding his hand out for her to take, which she did, "What a gentleman." She commented with a giggle."Why thank you milady, " He did a small bow grinning from ear to ear.'How cute'He led her inside, the whole restaurant was grandiloquent and elegant. The place was buzzing with many sophisticated people, they carried themselves with so much grace and poise, Scar felt a bit out of place and uncomfortable.'I’ve never seen such luxury in my life'Skye seemed to have prepared everything to Scar's liking because their reserved table was far from the crowd of people, beside an enormous glass window that depicted the beautiful city lights.'Thank goodness'"Wow, " she gasped, "This is truly a si
Upon hearing footsteps approaching, the tied girl raised her head and was met with a sight of two men, one was familiar and the other she couldn't recognize.A while back Lucas had tried talking to her but she was resilient and kept her mouth shut, not saying a word or disclosing any information."I hope you're ready to talk little lady," Lucas asked her as they both got closer. As per usual she just blankly stared at them and didn't say a word.Seb went forward and crouched down, staring straight at her with a straight face, "Unlike my brother there I'm not so nice, meaning when I ask you something, you answer me, I hate defiance." he menacingly sneered.She blankly glanced at him, then turned her head from him. This little act pissed him off, Seb roughly held her chin, forcing her to face him, "Never look away when I'm talking, understood?"She was still silent, this fueled Seb's anger even more. He roughly let her chin go and abruptly got up, "Tell Lorenzo to bring me what I need
The next day came by like a flash and Scar woke up with a smile on her face feeling euphoric while reminiscing about last night's events. She had so much fun and loved being in Skye's company. He was a great guy with an amazing sense of humor, she was eager to get to know him even more.‘Really?' She asked herself as she got up.The morning was going great and she wasn't about to let anything ruin the mood. As she busied herself with work, Seb walked in through the door, his hair was messy and disheveled, regardless of that he still looked like he just came out of a magazine. The top three buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing a glimpse of his toned chest. But something was off about him, he had a gloomy and bleak face.'What's up with him?' Scar thought to herself analyzing him carefully, If it was a few days back before he accused her of theft and insulted her, she would have been worried and asked what was wrong, but now she couldn't care less, not anymore.She turned her
Scar was on her way home, sitting in the taxi when she realized that she had left an important file back at the office, she urgently needed to work on it that night so she asked the driver to turn back.The car arrived at Av in no time and she instantly got out heading to her front desk. She stepped into the building and found the security guard inside switching off some lights."Miss Oslon, what are you doing back here at this time?" He asked politely."I forgot a very important file back here and I just had to come back for to." Scar explained with a smile."Oh ok, well I hope you won't have trouble finding it, but in case you need any assistance just call me." the guard said and Scar nodded with a small smile.She took the elevator to her floor, and after a few seconds, it opened and she got out. She went directly to her desk, quickly skimmed through some files laying there, and found the file she needed.She sighed in relief and took the file, but before leaving, something caught
By the time Scar got back home she was extremely exhausted, she felt like her body had been run over by a truck or something like that. When she entered their apartment, she headed straight for her room and drew a warm bubble bath for herself.She shrugged her clothes off and settled into the warm water, her aching muscles began to relax and she smiled contently. After the warm relaxing bath, she proceeded to put on her PJs and settled on her bed.A knock sounded on her door, she immediately knew who it was, "Come in Nat."The door creaked as Natalie entered the room, "Hey—whoa, what happened to you, you look so worn out?" Natalie asked, coming closer to her friend."I'm so tired, I had so much work to do., Scar told Natalie, she used all her energy to say those words.Natalie looked at her friend with concern, "I'm sorry, he's overworking you, isn't he?""You already know the answer to that," She then proceeded to tell her about the upcoming party she had to plan."He might be hot bu
"Hey! What are you doing there?" The two men shifted their gazes towards Scar.She quickly composed herself, "Hi, I'm Scarlett, I'm here to meet Lorenzo."The younger guy smiled, "Ah, I remember, come with me." He came forward, leading her away from the kitchen."Skye mentioned that you could help me out?" She put in as they sat down."Yes, so tell me how many people are we dealing with?" He inquired of her so that he could know how many people he'd be cooking for."We're dealing with 100-150 people. '' Scar responded she was shocked that he was Lorenzo, honestly speaking she thought the other older man was Lorenzo, turns out she was wrong, she didn't even realize that her thoughts wandered off and she was staring at him for too long until he spoke out."Earth to Scarlett, Where have your thoughts wandered to and why are you staring at me like that?"Scar nervously cleared her throat and spoke up, "Uh—I was just wondering, you look so young. I was sort of expecting an old or middle-ag
Scar blinked. 'Oh.my.fucking.god!'She wanted to scream. So badly.How could anyone still remain calm at such a wonderful sight before them?The handsome Adonis and his super hot body.Scar gulped as she shamelessly scanned his entire body from the sturdy chest down to his packs and lower to the sharp v-line that disappeared right into the towel.'Alright! Focus Scarlett!' She chided and cleared her throat.“Sir, I’ve brought your outfit,” she said and walked in hastily to drop the suit on the white plush bed.Seb watched her dainty face all through.He watched as she admired his body and it made him feel good for the first time.It even turned him on.How she blushed when her gaze went lower.Would she be happy to see what was below and inside his towel?Ha! Sebastian take it easy. She is just your assistant and you hate her.“Thank you, Miss Oslon” he sounded formal.Scar immediately turned around to run off from this room that screamed of masculinity! But before she could reach th
Once the Cake cutting had been completed, a group of business men in suit, hurriedly whisked Seb away for their always boring discussions.But through out the chitchats they were having, Seb had his gaze only on Scar and that Bastard skye as they sat on a table at the far end of the hall and giggled nonstop to themselves.Mostly skye was whispering gibberish to Scar and she was giggling.This vexed Seb a lot that he just wanted to go over there and tear that little union of theirs.How dare that skye enter his party and still chase after his assistant who was supposed to be by his side?!The business men kept praising Seb but the latter was far from whatever nonsense they were busily spouting.Just when he felt he couldn’t control his frustration and anger anymore, a dainty hand fell on his broad shoulder.His brow pulled together in greater anger at whoever had touched him without permission.He slowly looked at the hand—a well manicured one with fair skin. He slowly turned fully t
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
