I sat in the car, processing all of my thoughts one after the other. When I noticed everything was washing down on me, I paused, trying to catch my breath because it was a lot.“Scarlett—” Seth called my name but was interrupted by my phone ringing. I was willing to hang on and listen to him, but Seth had quickly gone silent.“Hello,” I said to Brianna, who was on the phone. “How are you?”“I am fine, but that is not important, friend. I have got news,” Brianna said, sounding super excited, as if I knew what it was about. I smiled, my eyes rolling at my chances of being correct that this was clearly about Patricia’s return.“Go on,”“Patricia Levine is back!” Brianna announced it with a squeal, and I said it! “That’s not all; I also heard she got divorced from that leech of a husband she was married to, and well, he tried to divorce her to take a large part of her wealth, but her lawyers had a stronger case, and then she won. This is your chance to reach out to her now that her influe
Seth is such a man child; instead of him coming to me accepting his wrongs and then maybe I would dance around on it and forgive him easily, he chose to be salty about it, constantly ignoring and pretending that I didn’t exist—well, guess what? Two can play that game.It was childish seeing him use Bella to make me jealous, or that is what I think because this is so obvious, whatever he thinks he is doing.He sees me and suddenly remembers that Bella is by his side.I just don’t want to think he is using her, but to me, it does seem that way.While I was in the living room planning Carmela’s sweet sixteenth birthday bash with the event planner, Seth came around. I would say he has been miserable these past few days and was just waiting for the right opportunity to approach me.I never even noticed that I had this man wrapped around my fingers, and now it is so glaring and funny too.“Mrs. Thatcher, you have a package delivered." Seth brought in a large brown envelope, which was sealed
I threw my phone on the bed after reading a sweet apology from Seth, for which I found him lacking in a lot of things. What exactly is he apologizing for? Did he do anything wrong?Nevertheless, it didn’t change anything, even as my heart tingled. Oh, for how long do I deserve this feeling and haven’t gotten it?My head instinctively looked towards the door as a knock was heard. The knock continued to get heavier each time I dismissed it. I knew who it was; I told myself this.I was paranoid, moving about the room while biting the tips of my fingers. He was going to leave, right?“Scarlett, I know you are in there,” I heard Seth say, and my heart beat faster. He is definitely not leaving."Seth, go away; I don’t want my kids to hear you." I spoke in a silent tone. I was sure he heard because he stopped knocking. “Please don’t cause a scene."“Open the door, Scarlett; I just want to talk to you."“We can talk tomorrow; this can wait."“No, no, Scarlett, this can’t wait. You are distanc
We were both in the bathroom completely naked, with water flowing all over our bodies, my head flat out on the wall with Seth's hands slightly choking as he fucked me from behind. My ass jiggles each time he smacks me and calls me all sorts of dirty names, which makes my entire body fiery.It felt like I was slipping away into oblivion—the water, the nasty names he called me, all those thrustings that had me clinging for more and escaping reality.I was a fast learner, having learned all these new sex positions I couldn’t try with Michael.“Argh.. Scarlett." Seth uttered my name with a groan as he pulled out, turning me over to face him while my back rested on the wall. He lifted my legs up to his waist as he inserted his member into my pussycat.I grabbed a handful of my hair as I bopped up and down, letting him feel every bit. Seth growled as he buried his face in my chest, soon sucking on my breast. As we increased our pace, I fell back into concentrating on earning my next orgasm
“I should send our butler to call the plumber instead,” Michael said in a begrudging tone as he moved aimlessly around our room. "Michael, is there a problem?” I asked as I changed into my clothes, which were placed on the bed. I maintained every bit of composure, pretending that I didn’t know Michael was heavily bothered by Seth’s presence. Seth covered his face with his palms as he sighed, “Everything is fine." "Okay, because I thought you heard Seth say he was personally going to call the plumber to come check it out himself,” I said as I glanced at Michael and noticed he was still showing discomfort. Michael grumbled as he spoke in a grouchy tone, "Scarlett, I am not dumb." “Never said you were." Again, I knew where he was heading, yet I answered him, simply trying not to raise my voice at him because he was pushing. “I am not dumb, Scarlett,” Michael repeated again as he began loosening. “Michael, has there been a time that I said that you were?” I asked him back, passing b
The next day we both were restless, though we tried not to show it. I was in a way extremely worried; my past was pretty much catching up to me. This wasn’t Daniella like I would think it was; this was someone who is behind those scandals and wants to see my family down. I will have to protect my family, even if I have to get my hands dirty again. “I thought this was a housewarming party." Michael inquired, confused at the slated time the party was being fixed. We both thought it would be a simple brunch with friends, not some extravagant party that began at eight until whenever we wished to leave. Besides, no one here was going because of some housewarming party; if you are there, it is clearly because of networking; everyone is making partners to help with each other's businesses. “I am sure she felt having a housewarming might not be receiving enough; we are talking about Patricia Levine." I gassed her name up in front of Michael. I do like pretending Patricia was all that, even
I sighed heavily as I looked beside Michael. “There is nothing we can do about this,” I told him quietly before I faked a smile. "Ah, Melissa, there is no way I would ignore you; I just haven’t gotten the chance to greet everyone yet."“No problem; I know for a fact that you won’t let politics get between us; at the end of the day, it is just a game and only one player will win; either of us might end up being losers; we just don’t know it yet." Melissa came around as she embraced me, blowing air kisses to both my cheeks and doing the same for Michael.“Excuse me, Lance, you think maybe we could talk on the side while we leave the ladies to themselves?" Michael tried to excuse himself while taking Melissa's husband along. I am sure he was just being polite because if it was left of him, he would simply walk out on all three of us.He despises the Lance family a lot. I am sure Melissa knows that, which is why she rema
"Does it look like they are kissing, or is it just my eyes?" Louisa asked, and I quickly faced them. I was slowly about to lose my sh*t when I saw it, until Melissa pointed out that it was just the angle we both were standing at, so it appeared that way."My God, I heard she got divorced from her ex-husband; isn't that sad? Everyone seems to be getting divorced, somewhat like a trend," Melissa stated. "Let us not really look at them like that; they might see us.""How do you mean, she seems too focused on her to even notice?" Louisa said as she pushed Melissa's hand so she could have a proper view. I looked away instead as I grabbed one of the bottles of wine that were passed around by the waiters. "Honestly, it was about how she divorced that man.""That man?" Melissa asked, as if wanting to laugh."Of course he is that man; he was a nobody till Patricia met him; she clearly made him who he was.
