SCARLETT POVToday came in like a whiplash on my face. I didn’t think for a second that I would do it. I was still bothered about my son. I surely do not want an extra problem piling up for me.Bella had confronted me, her breathing unmatched like she was in a hurry. She glared at me deeply as she spat out despicably, “You clearly do not have any shame,” her face flat out disgusted, showing off her distasteful side.I didn't want to react quickly, as I didn’t want anyone to wake up, even though she was pushing her limits.“I hope you take good care of him because Seth is someone that is hard to handle. I promise, I won’t be the one to tell your husband; he will find out for himself what sort of woman he is married to,” Bella said. She looked scarcely around her and where I was standing before she attacked me with her words.I knew it was coming, that there would come a time that Bella would find out. The only problem here is that Seth and I were extremely careful about anyone knowing;

I don’t even know how I was able to escape Michael's demand for an explanation; maybe it was because of Leo’s cry for help that I quickly used the opportunity. I grabbed Seth’s hand while he stood amongst the workers trying to explain the situation and took him to the back of the garage, where no one could see us.“What happened, Seth? Why did you do it? Why have you chosen to ruin me in this way?” I began punching him on the chest to at least answer me. I felt weak, and a response from him would give me a reason to understand his side of the story, but his silence was annoying. “Tell me something, Seth, I beg."“I told her because Bella doesn’t deserve to be put in the same position as your husband; she doesn’t deserve to be kept in the dark, Scarlett,” Seth finally said as he held my hands from offering soft punches.“And what about me? What about me, Seth? Did you not think about me, or am I not important? Just a fuck buddy."“Shush,” Seth closed my mouth with his. That short kiss

A few weeks was enough to restore my house to order as everything went back to normal; thankfully, no one suspected a thing, not even Michael. I was in the room preparing to leave for another women’s estate meeting because we were all informed that Patricia would be in attendance.Michael was also in the room with me as he surprised me and brought up a discussion about our son Leo."Scarlett, we need to stop putting pressure on Leo,” Michael started off, and I looked at him from the mirror, where I stood, wondering where he had come up with the idea that pressure had been put on Leo in the first place.“We don’t put pressure on him, Michael; what are you on about? Whatever he does, he does on his own free will,” I say as I move away from the mirror and sit on one of the chairs so I can put on my heels. “Is that what he said?”“Leo didn’t say anything like that,” Michael affirmed, simply confirming that he is the one putting ideas in his head.“Then clearly we aren’t putting any pressu

I called Brianna to let her know we were waiting for her at her gates before she quickly rushed out, holding Christian in her arms, who I believe should be in school by now as he is wearing his uniform.Brianna knocked on the tinted glass window and said, “Uhm, open the door for me." She said this to Seth, who didn’t move an inch when he saw her. I also didn’t think it was Seth’s job to get out of the car to open the door for someone who has both hands intact.“Don’t,” I told Seth when he attempted to, as I personally opened the door for Brianna by myself. “Good morning,” I said in the most welcoming voice possible as I collected Christian from Brianna’s hands and placed him on my lap. “Shouldn’t he be at school?” I asked while snuggling closer to Christian's cheeks."Well, he is supposed to—” Brianna momentarily paused.“Scarlett,” Seth said in his most raspy voice as he glared at me from the mirror he was watching me from. He was trying to caution me to stop placing kisses on Christ

When I entered, I quickly sighted Patricia in the front seat as she began waving at me, much to the attention of everyone, especially Louisa, who is supposed to be her friend. I looked over at Brianna, who had already kept space for me and was also signaling that I come sit with her.“Scarlett, why don't you come and join me?" Patricia invited much to the mumbles and murmurs of the rest in the room.I was conflicted about which side I chose. Clearly, I would have more eyes staring if I went for Patricia, as everybody would do whatever it takes to just sit next to her, but then there is my close friend Brianna. It wouldn’t look well on me if I were to suddenly ditch her in front of everybody.Nevertheless, I didn’t want to be greedy or act so needy that I would throw off a friend for a good opportunity like that which Patricia was offering, so I went with Brianna, thanking Patricia in the mix.The gasps that filled the air when I rejected Patricia were sending me off because of the gla

“Patricia, I don’t even know what to do; I feel like I am losing my mind." Louisa’s voice sounded shaky as she managed to say, “Brandon is gone, Vice is gone, and I am just left with Rocky, Patricia. I am hanging on a loose thread right now, and it seems like I am losing you too.“Loosing me, how? We are still friends,” Patricia said, though I couldn’t see both their expressions; their voice was enough as I continued eavesdropping.“Are you kidding? Scarlett? You invited her first before you even told me that you were already here; you told me you would be returning at the end of the month, not two weeks before then,” Louisa complained with a hint of jealousy. I am still trying to understand their strife, and now Louisa was switching the topic.“You have nothing to worry about Scarlett; she is a good person, and I clearly just want to know her better. Besides, I have been keeping up with Brandon, so I think it is time you make a police report about him for the money he stole and file

SETH POV“Of course, Mr. Mayor, I will surely let my wife know that you extend your greetings,” Mr. Thatcher said over the phone as he entered the car. He ended the call shortly and placed his bag on his side. “Ah, Seth, I am glad you came on short notice; I hope I wasn't a burden."“Not at all, sir,” I answered, starting off the engine. “Where to, sir?”“Why are you being so modest?” Mr. Thatcher stated with a short smile as he arranged his suit, “I think we should head home, don’t you think?” He replied.“Alright,” I say as I drive out of the parking lot.My ears were close to most of the things he said, until he asked about Bella and how she was doing: “You two break up; is it temporary or permanent? What must have been the reason she left? Bella is a sweet lady, and Carmela truly misses her,” Mr. Thatcher added.This was a topic I have quite been avoiding whenever I am asked, also because though I have tried reaching out to speak with Bella for more understanding, she has refused

SETH POVScarlett curled up in my arm as we slept together through the late hours of the evening. We had sex multiple times and took breaks in between, and still we were never tired of each other. My fingertips strolled her shoulders down to her arm length as I admired and appreciated every bit of her. It was so soon, the way we had gotten together, but I don't regret it, and neither does she.Scarlett twisted her body away as she opened her eyes to me staring at her, my elbow placed under my jaw as I used my other hand to touch her face. "You sleep so beautifully." I kissed her nose and playfully toyed with her hair.She sniffs. "Seth, what time is it?" pulling the blanket to cover up her bare body."Seven," I replied, my face still smiling at her as she froze. "Oh my God, Seth, Michael is going to kill me; why didn't you try waking me up?" She asks as worry spreads across her face, but still, she didn't try wanting to leave.Scarlett pulled me even closer. "I might as well stay for a
