Wrapped around her fingers.
Scarlett leaned against Cameron’s office door, trying to steady her breathing. Nothing prepared her for what she saw, nothing at all. She blinked back tears, but it was futile as a few drops trickled down her cheeks. She wiped them off furiously. Did he call her to his office just to show off? Was it so easy for him to move on? Only yesterday, he was talking about how much he loved her and didn’t want Hadley, and the next day, she was sitting in his office, her clothes crumpled on the floor beside her.
She took a few steps forward, away from the door, as thoughts of what could be going on in there flooded her mind. Was he kissing her with passion like his life depended on it, just like he loved to kiss her? Maybe he was showering her breasts with kisses, as he always seemed to love breasts.She grabbed the chair handle to steady herself and shook her head, trying to dispel thoughts of Cameron and Hadley. She lumbered towards her chair. Almost immediately, the dRelated chapters

Scarlett rushed to the door, and opened it. Her brows shot up in surprise, her mouth fell open.“Good morning Scarlett,” Cameron greeted. He took in her shocked expression. She looked slightly dishevelled. Her hair was tied atop her head in a messy bun and she had on a big t-shirt and from her pointy nipples poking through the shirt, he assumed she had nothing on underneath. The mere thought of it, of her made him grow stiff in the pants. He cussed under his breath. It was futile to try to rein his feelings were it concerned her. They seemed to have a mind of their own and went wild at will, “Scarlett?”His calm voice jolted her, she opened the doors wider, giving him room to walk in, “I’m sorry, I was just surprised to see you,” she explained. He was casually dressed in casual pants and a shirt, it made him look much younger and then there was her, she hadn’t showered all morning, her hair was a bird’s nest on her head and she had on only a shirt, that stopped

Hadley was back at her family home, and she hated being there. It didn’t offer her any warmth or kindness at all. Right now, she was in the living room, her head bowed, clutching tightly to her purse.“He’s just a man, Hadley, a normal man,” Mrs. Coleman chirped in. She was a tall, slim woman, her height accentuated by the six-inch heel she had on, with identical blonde hair like Hadley. Despite the annoyance in her voice, her face remained stiff, owing to the years of Botox she had injected into it. “He’s even promiscuous. It shouldn’t be that hard to get a proposal. That was how I got...” She halted.Hadley shot up to look at her, then glanced at her father, whose frown deepened.“No need to mince words, Crystal. Everybody on the bloody earth knows you married me for the money,” he, a way older man, tall and lanky, said.Mrs. Coleman looked away. “That’s beside the point. We are addressing our daughter right now. That is what’s more important.”“It’s not my fault you didn’t teach yo
Entangled with the Billionaire Wedding Bells?
Belinda Grayson hurried down the stairs, her brunette hair tied up in a ponytail. "Hadley?"Hadley rose to her feet when she saw her. "Mrs. Grayson."Belinda opened her arms wide for a hug. "Silly, I’ve told you, you can call me mother."Hadley shut her eyes and leaned closer for a hug. "Mother," it warmed her heart in a different way. She lingered in her arms.Belinda pulled away and peered at her, cupping her cheeks. "When the housekeeper told me you were here, I was pleasantly surprised. The last time we spoke, you told me you’d be out of the country by this time."She smiled politely at her. "Yeah, about that. I cancelled. I just wasn’t in the right frame of mind to work."Belinda searched her face. "Are you okay, hun? Is everything alright?"She heaved a deep sigh. Belinda grabbed her hand and led her to the couch. "What is it? You didn’t tell me you were coming, and also what happened? You had a
Entangled with the Billionaire Silence and Anger
Cameron didn’t respond immediately, he buried his head in his hands and sat still. He was trying so hard to win Scarlett back, and when it looked like he was making progress, something would always just come up.Belinda’s brows creased in worry as she watched him. She had imagined what his reaction would be. Her best bet was he would flare up in anger and shout. She was used to that, she had listened to one too many of his temper tantrums as a growing child. That, she could handle, she was his mother after all, not this defeated silence. She couldn’t bear seeing him look like this, his shoulders slouched, his face buried, like the weight of the world was on his shoulders. “Cameron....” She tried to break the ice.He didn’t respond immediately.She swallowed.“What do you mean by plans are underway for you two to be married?” he asked.She almost sighed in relief, thankful that he was at least still talking to her. An argument wa

“No, I couldn’t bear to watch you break your hearts countless times, searching for something that isn’t there, that just doesn’t exist for you,” she replied. “You two are friends, and I tell you, that’s all you need to have a wonderful marriage, Cameron.”“I disagree,” he said in a flat tone. “When all of you made the marriage arrangements, you didn’t plan it with either of us in mind. You sought a way to preserve your wealth, to increase it, to keep it amongst yourselves...” He trailed off.She shook her head, "Cameron, let me..."“It was all monetary benefits for you, for father, for the Colemans when you arranged our marriage and buried it under layers and layers of contracts. You wanted to ensure we were trapped, unable to get out of it because that was the only way you could ensure that your empire expanded.”She shook her head, “You two were never going to be able to find someone who truly loves you simply for who you are.”
Entangled with the Billionaire Planning a Party 1
When Cameron walked into work that morning, he found Lucious speaking excitedly with someone outside his office.“Good morning, Mr. Grayson,” Lucious greeted with a wave and a wide smile plastered on his face.Cameron tipped his head at him, “Good morning, Lucious.” He was curious about what had him so excited early in the morning. It was typical of him, but there was something more.He was disappointed when he walked through Scarlett’s office and she wasn’t seated. He always looked forward to seeing her every morning, she brightened his day. He plopped down on his chair and let out a huge sigh. Maybe the reason she wasn’t yet seated was that he woke up way too early than usual and rushed down to work just to see her. It was pathetic, but it was the truth. He could barely sleep or do anything now that she wasn’t speaking to him.He dived right into work, there were stacks of files on his table, pending workload that had been backtracked from the previous day. He was nose-deep into hi
Entangled with the Billionaire Planning a Party 2
Lucious was still whining when she walked into Cameron’s office. He looked up at her, “Shut the door after you.”It wasn’t supposed to mean anything, yet it made her heart beat faster in her chest. Suddenly, the energy in the room was supercharged. The door clicked shut, and she was alone with Cameron in his office. If experience had taught her anything, it was that she and Cameron never fared well alone. They always made the wrong decisions, and even as she was standing at his doorway, admiring the man sitting across from her, the serious look on his face as he typed on his laptop, she realized that she didn’t care if they made the wrong decisions again today. Heck, she wanted...“Are you going to sit down, or are you going to stand guard at my office?” he peered at her, with a look of amusement on his face.She smiled sheepishly, “I...I...I’m just going to sit,” she pointed at the chair and walked up to it.“I’d like that very much,” he replied. He watched her as she sat down and la

The words hung in the air between them. He didn’t miss the sadness in her voice when she said it. He didn’t want to push or pry. He wanted her to open up to him of her own free will, so he waited. The emotions danced around her face as she battled with the idea of opening up. Finally, she exhaled and looked up at him, “Until the woman came and Christmas was never the same again...” She paused, “My dad suddenly had to be at work every Christmas morning, and every other holiday. The first year, my mother and I had Christmas on our own...” She shook her head, “It wasn’t the same, but we held out hope for the next year...”He nodded.“Of course, my mother found out earlier, and she let me believe the lie that he was working and he couldn’t make time for a couple of years...” She dryly chuckled, “I was so dumb.”He took her hand in his, “No, you weren’t.”She glanced at their linked hands, grateful for the warmth they provided her, “I found o
