“And you know this, how?”“I do not only know this. I know so many other things that you don’t”“Hmm,” he had never mentioned Alex's family before but he was doing so now. Maybe he was correct about them not wanting her to return to Alex's white house but would they really go to the extent of telling the men at the estate gate not to let her in no matter what? How were they related to Caleb and Rogan's disappearance? “Alright, I’m listening, tell me then”“I thought you were tired already”Scarlett scoffed, “What? You want me to beg you?” “I would have told you some minutes ago if you had asked but you didn’t” Liam shrugged.“Whatever” She was not going to beg him. She would try to reach Alex and talk to him about it. She would just sleep in a hotel tonight. She did not know if Liam was lying or telling the truth about the security at the gate but she wouldn't try her luck tonight. Especially not when she closed late from work.Scarlett made to walk around Liam to exit the parking lo
Scarlett could not find anything to complain about. Liam got her everything she would need for the night. He even got her toiletries.“At least I won't have to smell like you tomorrow. It would be such a good thing” she murmured as she received the toiletries from her and walked to the bathroom. He heard her loud and clear but said nothing.Scarlett could not understand why he was still standing when she got out of the bathroom but it was none of her business. She had taken her sweet time to bathe hoping that he would grow tired. All she craved for any time she saw him was to make him angry, maybe he would leave her then.She needed to be rid of him before her child’s birth. Liam would know immediately that it was his child. He would smell his bloodline and she couldn't have that. He would know that she has been keeping it a secret from him. She did not want to get into trouble with him and Olivia again and she did not want her child to be caught up in any mess.“Tell me what you know
Scarlett felt her chest tighten and dread curl in the pit of her stomach at Liam's words. Alex's family must know by now that the child in her stomach was not Alex's even if Liam was unaware, so why would they still want to forcefully remove her child from her and sell her off?Were humans so evil?She shouldn't be surprised because in Olivia's attempt to make sure Liam gets rid of her, she did not think twice before throwing herself off the stairs and in the process, killed her baby. Becoming Luna was Scarlett's dream, but she would never kill her child to secure the position.She might have wanted to have her baby aborted at first because it belonged to Liam, but she had not been thinking straight that day. Thank the moon goddess for directing Alex her way and making me push her to see reasons why she needed to keep her baby despite having issues with the father. She would have lived all her life in regret had she had her baby aborted.“Did this heiress tell Alex that she was pregna
“We should put aside our past grievances for now. We need to make sure that both you and the baby are safe”.Scarlett shrugged, “Okay” “You will write your resignation letter and submit it tomorrow. Pack your things and leave”. “I'm not going to stop working” how was she going to survive then? She won't be able to find another job in the city like the one at Alex's hotel. How was her and her baby going to survive if she did not work? Her savings will surely run out after she rents them a house, and buys basic necessities and groceries for a few months. “You will, Scarlett. I already agreed with them that you will stop working before Alex gets back from where it is that he went”. “You did what?” Scarlett sneered at him. “You had no right. It wasn't your choice to make that decision.” Did he think he was her lord or something? This man was just so infuriating. “I picked the best option, or would it have been better to allow them to take you away and rip you and
“The answer is no, right? You will still go to him, after all, he is the father of your child.”Scarlett rolled her eyes at his tone, “Please, what did you expect? That I will be so grateful that you want to help me and run off with you? Do you think I'm like you, who is heartless and can quickly move on without second thoughts? I never forced you to make any deal on my behalf”. She owes Alex so much and as much as she wanted to escape into the night so that no harm will come to her child, she knew that she would live forever wallowing in guilt. Scarlett was correct about him being heartless, but that was in the past, before he rejected her and everything came crashing down on him. After he let himself loose, after he found her again, he began to feel another emotion apart from the anger and hate that he allowed himself to feel, that he was used to. As much as he liked the fact that he could now feel multiple emotions, he sometimes wished that he was the old Liam. He would have yan
“You keep surprising me each time we meet. You really want to talk out here?” Mandy asked as she pushed her shades from her eyes to her head, placed her bag on the table and dropped on the seat opposite Scarlett. Scarlett's eyes darted around the place. They were seated in the middle of the hotel, it was lunchtime and the place was packed with people. She did not even take a private room. She shrugged, “I'm one of the managers, I can stay anywhere I want” “Not after today if what I heard is correct” Mandy folded her arms across her chest “I see that news travels fast” today was her last day at work. She submitted her resignation letter today, she would be leaving after she was done speaking with Mandy. “I'm really curious why you asked me to come here. I haven't gotten all day. I have a job, unlike some people” "Ok. I need my things'' “Things? What things?” “My stuff at your bothers white house” “Oh? Go get them, who is stopping you?” “Well, I can't. Not after your parents
“Call his parents now”It did not take long for Mandy to get Alex's parents on the phone, and it did not take long for them to receive another call that Scarlett could go in to get her stuff and a warning for her to leave immediately. Scarlett only rolled her eyes as she stood up to make her way to her office, where Joy had already helped her to arrange her things. “That's it, I'm out. I hope to never see you again” Mandy picked up her bag and was about to leave when Scarlett stopped her.“Where are you going?”“Where am I going? What sort of question is that?” Mandy looked at her like she had gone mad.“I don't have a car, so how do I get there? How am I sure I really would be able to get in? I need you to take me there”Mandy looked at her before she began to laugh, the sound was mocking, but Scarlett stood there, waiting until she was done before she said, “If your family wants me gone, then they should better help me leave. If not, I will stay”“Well,”Mandy shrugged, “I will go w
“Are you being for real right now, Mandy? You are not pulling my legs, right?” Alana asked Mandy while trying to contain her happiness so she wouldn't scream or start jumping excitedly. “Of course I am. I won't joke about something like this. We were able to get rid or her, but the bitch bagged another eligible man”The excitement coursing through her immediately died down, “What do you mean?” Alana asked as her forehead creased with a deep frown. Mandy sighed deeply over the phone, “You know Liam Ainsworth?,”Alana was not only frowning now, she was also confused as she tried to think of who Liam Ainsworth was but ended up with a black mind. “Who is that? I don't think I have ever heard of him”“You've been out of the country for a long time now, you have forgotten about everyone. Of course, you have heard about him. I told you about him too” Mandy huffed. “Okay?” Alana drawled, “Care to remind me who he is?”“A rich billionaire that I told you I like two years ago. He attended on
