SCARLETT'S POV

I hummed about my room, as I dressed up for work. I wasn't styling my hair today, I'm letting it fall down my back in its shiny glossy glory.

As Ashton already briefed me on the reason Chairman Kyle was at the company some days ago, I already understand the situation.

Let me say this now; Imogen is so childish and immature. What does she think I am? Some idiot? Well, I'll just ignore this since its the first time but the next time she tries it, she'll definitely be hearing from me.

About my ongoing task with Lexi, we were able to come up with an outstanding outcome from our research even though it was only yesterday. Given the speed we are moving at, I'd be done with the task in few more days.

After staring at my reflection in my full length mirror, I smiled in satisfaction as I picked up my clutch bag and walked out.

    NARRATIVEFLASHBACK "Imogen!" She stopped abruptly and turned on her heels back to Yori who was right behind her. "What?" She said, raising a brow in confusion. She couldn't understand why Yori had to stop her just when she was about walking out the door. "Just look what you almost did." Yori said, drawing her attention to her purse bag right on Scarlett's vanity. "Jeez! The fuck!" Imogen cursed as she hurriedly went back and picked it up. "I'd have been so damned if you hadn't seen this on time. Why do I keep fumbling?! I'm so glad you came in here with me, Yori." She said, looking around Scarlett's room once more to make sure she didn't forget anything else. "Look at me Yori, did I lose anything? Are my earrings intact? Is my necklace still on my neck? How about my bracelet?" She went on to look herself all over trying to make sure she left no clue in Scarlett's room while Yori gave her a bored look. "Can you stop being so dramatic?" Yori finally said, swatting her arm a litt

    HARRIET'S POV "What are you doing Ashton?" I said immediately he walked in my room after me. Initially, I had just stepped out of my room upstairs and was at the corridor when I heard and saw him talking so freely with Paige's daughter. Of course they are half-siblings but Ashton wasn't being smart as I had thought he would. I turned around and faced him in time to see the flustered expression on his face. "Don't you know? Your father has made her the acting CEO only few days now and you think it's fine?!" His flustered expression changed to that of awareness and guilt immediately. He knows! And he's still acting this way? "You didn't even let me know?! Aren't you aware all I've been doing is for your sake and Imogen's?!" "Mother, it's not a final decision yet. I believe Father didn't mean any harm, he probably just wants to broaden her knowledge a bit before he makes his final decision on who's going to be the next CEO. Besides, you have nothing to worry about. I'm F

    NARRATIVE "Amelia look, someone's here to see you." Amelia looked up from the pile of files on her desk, glanced briefly at her computer before trailing her gaze around the newsroom she was in. Her colleague, Lavender, sitting opposite smiled at her, tilting her head slightly to the side indicating that Amelia look behind her. On seeing her gesture, Amelia turned her gaze behind her only to see Susan grinning widely at her. "Susan! What a surprise girl, you didn't say you were coming over my office today." Amelia said, a pleased smile over her face. Susan's her good friend who works at the research department of JP's Enterprise, although she's a junior staff. Also, considering Amelia had visited her at the company not quite long ago, she didn't expect that Susan would check on her today. "Yeah," Susan sighed, pulling out a chair beside Amelia and sitting on it. She's a beautiful blonde with nice freckles. "What's wrong? You don't seem cheerful." Amelia noted.

    NARRATIVE "Ms. Grey, your elder sister is with the Chairman at the moment. Do you want to proceed in unannounced or should I inform him of your presence?" Imogen cast a glance at her father's secretary, pausing briefly on her attempt towards the door. Each time she thought on checking on her Dad these days, it's either he's busy or Scarlett_her halfsister, had to be around. "Don't bother." She said, proceeding to opening the door and walking in. "Alright, Ms." The Secretary said just as the door closed after her. However, Imogen was stunned the moment she walked in and saw Scarlett and their father in such a lovely father to daughter mood. All her life, Imogen couldn't remember the last time she was in her father's arms like this. No, has she ever been in his arms before? Was she ever really accepted by him? Imogen had long yearned for her father's love right from her teenage till now. She had never seen him smile like this before_neither at her or at Ashton. It

    NARRATIVE "Hey! Pour me another glass." The bar attendant stared at the beautiful lady in shock. This was her sixth bottle of beer and he was amazed she could hold her liquor to this moment. Though, she was now wasted as she sat slouched on her chair, leaning against the counter. Her eyes red and eyelids swollen while she battled with her lashes, to keep her eyes open. It was only natural that the bar attendant serve her as she'd requested, after all, she's only a customer and he, an attendant. He needed no one to tell him the identity of the drunk lady. She's Imogen Grey. The second daughter of the renowned Chairman Grey and twin sister to the handsome general manager of JP's Enterprise. However, the attendant couldn't help but wonder why she'd come to drink at the pub alone. It was unusual as she's a lady; a pretty one at that and it was a late at night. Although he could see a burly guard standing a little bit afar off, watching her. Notwithstanding, he gave her anothe

    SCARLETT'S POV*Heidi, I'm sorry. I won't be coming home tonight* I sighed as I read through Dad's short text. Closing my eyes, I leaned back on the car seat as memories came to my mind. Memories of when I used to have dinner with just Mom(foster) and Skylar_since we were practically neighbors back home in Australia and ninety nine percent of the time, we spent the night at each other's place. Since I returned to my real family, I've not experienced a lovely family dinner like I once used to. I miss them so much. Lazily, I opened my eyes and glanced at my phone lying on my laps. I just talked with Skylar some minutes ago. If I should text her again, that wouldn't be bad right? I smiled and sat upright with such thoughts in mind. But on second thought, my smile left my face the moment I remembered I already talked about everything with her.But hello...I'm bored, so who cares? We can just have an emoji fight. Lol! I grinned as my excitement returned, glancing briefly out

While Ashton was out with friends, Imogen still lay in bed sulking from the previous day's incident. Harriet had just stride out of her room but stopped right at the balcony, placing a hand on the railing as she stared with contempt at Scarlett_who was walking across the living room towards the family's music room. Her black hair was in a messy bun with several strands falling over her face and she's dressed in a big white round-neck shirt, dark-blue denim and fluffy white flip-flops. Scarlett didn't seem to notice anyone looking at her as she walked in high spirits, towards the music room. Briefly, she ran a hand over the exquisite piano in the living room before she walked off. Because she wanted a private time, she wasn't going to play piano at the living room. Harriet who'd been watching her all the while s

He said and the woman raised her hand and slapped him hard across the cheek. Then she began pacing up and down the room. "Lie low for now. I would deal with this mess you have created, myself." She instructed. ___ Scarlett stared at the doctor in charge of Skylar's treatment with her face as pale as sheet. "Sorry. What did you just say?" She slowly asked, disbelief in her eyes. "We're sorry to let you know that we tried out best but..." The doctor paused, swallowing nervously as he avoided Scarlett's eyes. "...we couldn't save the child in her womb." He announced in one breath. Scarlett's knees suddenly became weak as she collapsed in to the seat. The doctor hurried on to add, "Also, she's still unconscious." Skylar was pregnant? Scarlett couldn't believe her ears. How? When? And now she

She frowned at the subordinate who had just passed an information to her. She was currently in the study of her secret home in City center. Harriet hurriedly collected the iPad and just at a glance, her eyes read through the bold headline on the screen. *The general secretary of JP's Enterprise, Gordon Paul, arrested and charged for illegal dealings by the prosecution, in the early hours of today. He had been called in for questioning along side some minor shareholders of JP's Enterprise and a few directors as well, that had been involved in this.* Harriet's grip on the iPad tightened and her lips trembled slightly as rage surged through her entire body.

    Later that same night, Imogen had hurriedly informed her mother about the chairman's conversation on phone which she had overheard. Harriet wasn't surprised by this news. She had already been informed by the subordinate she had assigned to spy on the Bryants household. What she found out wasn't necessarily going to help her goals at the moment, as it seems Palo and Scarlett had something going already. "About KK, why do you think your father invited him over to dinner today?" Harriet asked her daughter and Imogen immediately knew the reason. "He seems to approve of Kyle and Scarlett being together," she replied thoughtfully. Harriet took a close look at her beautiful daughter and a thought occured to her. "Imogen, you like KK, don't you?" Imogen couldn't help but blush as she said. "It's quite obvious I do, mother. A lot." Her mother urgently continued. "Then you have to seduce him." Seeing how her daughter became stunned at her words, Harriet added. "We need

    NARRATIVEWeeks passed by. There was remarkable progress in the growth of the company just under one month of Scarlett's leadership. Her relationship and sex life with Palo was going great too. He had even invited her to dinner with his family but she had politely declined. She wasn't sure yet if she should meet them, especially after her father's warning. She was still waiting on him to tell her everything when the time was right, like he had said he would. She had told Skylar about her relationship or situationship with Palo Bryant, and had also informed her foster mom of how Harriet had been keeping tabs on her secretly. Unfortunately, Scarlett and Lexi weren't able to find any trace of anything illegal to Harriet yet. She was seemingly having a clean record. But Scarlett knew it wasn't true. Harriet was cunning so she must have carried out her operations in strategic ways, making sure it led no traces back to her. Scarlett decided she would take things slowly, there m

    NARRATIVE Ashton and his friends were busy in the game room when Skylar brought in cakes for them to snack on. Skylar had made it herself with the assistance of a kitchen staff, of course, and wanted them to try it _ Ashton, mostly. "Enjoy," she whispered to him with a smile and his eyes didn't miss the deliberate wink she gave him and the fast manner she had bitten on her lips before she left. Skylar had made the cake most especially because of him, after learning that he loved eating cakes. And she sincerely hoped he liked it. At the sight of her, Ashton couldn't help lingering his gaze on her behind as she walked off, wishing he could grab those bouncy cheeks and also swat them as much as he needed, right now. If only he wasn't with people, he would have pulled her back in, shut the door after her and do so many dirty things to her that would leave her screaming his name only, around that seductive mouth of hers. But for the sake of their secret relationship,

Ashton's reason for slacking off was because he was hanging out with his friends at the manor but of course, he secretly wanted to spend more time with Skylar too.

Skylar followed me upstairs into my bedroom, stealthily of course, and I locked the door after us. Ever since the incident at the pool, we've been meeting every other night in secret.We just couldn't get enough of each other, and the more our secret sexual escapades occured, the more we both anticipated the next. "I want to watch you undress, and you need to do it slowly." I whispered and she nodded without disagreement and began doing as I have said. She wasn't even dressed with much to start with. She only had on a thin, transparent silky ash colored nightwear. And obviously, she had nothing under. The sight of her smooth, exposed laps made my mouth watered. Jus
