LMAO. I really like Kaleb. haha. Give me your gems if you like him too! The next chapter will be at 8pm, Singapore Time.
‘Is this for real?’ Scarlett thought. ‘Or am I dreaming? This is Kaleb Wright. He may very well be the most eligible bachelor in the city and he suggested to be the right person for me?’ Sure, she admitted to having noticed him hit on her, and of course, she just could not believe it was happening. Scarlett did not know for how long she contemplated, but her senses soon returned to her when Kaleb asked, “Not obvious enough?” She cleared her thought and suggested, “You can be really funny.” “I wasn’t being funny,” Kaleb answered. He adjusted his frame so his body was facing her completely. He sincerely studied her face and then he claimed, “In fact, I want you to marry me.” “Ma-Marry you? Why?” She asked outright, her voice could not help but raise. This was literally her second proposal that week, and she found it rather very overwhelming. “De-despite what you know of me and what you may deal with Luca, should I accept your proposal?” She asked, not sure what was going on in Ka
‘You can have my body.’ ‘You can have my body.’ ‘Why in the world did he have to say that?’ Scarlett groaned, turning to the other side of the bed. The image of Kaleb’s six-pack abs, slender waist, firm biceps, and broad chest just kept flashing in her head and she found herself restless while laying next to Liam. An hour past midnight, the poor boy awoke, worried for her sake. “Are you okay, my Beauty? Do you not like sleeping next to me?” He appeared hurt. His lips formed into a pout and he sniffed as if he were in tears. “Oh, I’m sorry, Liam. I did not mean to wake you.” She rolled back to face the young boy and pat him on the arm. ‘Your dad is mentally torturing me!’ “I - I just had something on my mind, something really mind-boggling,” she reasoned before forcing a smile. She rested closer to him and pulled the blanket higher. “Let’s go back to sleep, okay?" “Will you go to school with me in the morning?” Liam asked, surprising Scarlett altogether. 'Can I?' She really
“Scarlett, I’m sorry. You know, our apartment only has Greg as security and he is old. He was not able to stop those men from entering your apartment. We tried to threaten them by calling the police, but they weren’t scared at all. They said that you offended a capable man,” said her landlady, Misses Gray. “It’s not safe for you to live here, Scarlett. Forget about the lease, but - but I don’t know if you can manage to at least pay for the broken doors and cabinets. It was a good thing they left when they realized you were not home. I don’t know what would have happened if they found you here.” Scarlett was staring blankly at the insides of her messy apartment. The doors were all broken, including the doors to the closet. Now, she regretted kicking Mister Sander’s nuts! She turned to Archer, the same security personnel whom Kaleb insisted to accompany her home. He was on the phone with Kaleb. She could tell, Kaleb was making arrangements for her, but as to where? She was unsure. Sh
Kaleb checked his mobile just as he entered the penthouse. He thought, ‘She did not reply.’ As he walked in, he muttered, “They should be asleep by now.” It was already twelve in the evening when he arrived, coming from an entire day of work at the company. He first knocked on the door where Scarlett was supposed to rest, but after hearing no answer, he turned the knob. It was open and the air conditioning was switched off. He smiled, guessing how she must be staying with his son at the moment. Kaleb bathed and changed into his pajamas before making his way to Liam’s room. Only then did he find Scarlett, embracing Liam as they rested on his bed. Walking to the side where Liam slept, he leaned over and pecked his cheek. He whispered, “Love you, Liam. Sleep tight.” He sat on the edge of the bed, facing the headboard and cherishing the view. The way Scarlett held Liam in her arms, so protectively and lovingly, warmed his heart. He swore he found the one. A smirk formed on his f
"Mmmm,” Scarlett moaned. She took a whiff of that spicy scent, resembling that of a man’s aftershave. Her head nestled on a more solid pillow and her arm stretched to embrace… what it felt like to her… was a man’s body. Panic struck her. She abruptly opened her eyes, only to find Kaleb’s godly face inching closer to her. The thuds against her ribcage grew louder in her head, all while feeling her throat become paper dry of embarrassment. She gulped, screaming in her head, ‘Oh, my god! So much for a little while!’ "If you wanted to sleep with me so badly, you should have just said so," Kaleb said in a raspy yet sexy voice. “I knew you wanted my body, but I didn’t think you’d act so fast on your carnal desires.” Scarlett's mouth fell open, repeating his words silently, ‘Carnal desires?’ She frantically slid out of bed, her eyes searching for Liam and after seeing the boy was still fast asleep, she claimed, “I - I.” She gulped and resumed, “I sometimes sleepwalk.” Kaleb’s eyes nar
[Cindy: Scarlett, we need to talk to you about an urgent matter. Come to the mansion on Tuesday.] [Cindy: Why are you not answering? Don't forget Tuesday. 10 AM.] [Analisa: Scarlett, I have been calling you for two days. How come I cannot reach you? Your parents have called me to speak to you. You are needed at the Barnes mansion on Tuesday morning. Philip is deciding on his last will. He has not been well lately.] Scarlett sighed, seeing the text messages of her biological mother, Cindy Barnes, and her so-called mother, who had raised her for sixteen years, Analisa, Courtney's real mother. She grumbled, “So that’s why they wanted me to go to the mansion.” “Should I go?” She asked herself. “Are they even going to leave something for me?” For minutes, Scarlett just sat on the edge of her bed, considering. ‘Courtney will be there and what are the chances that Luca will be there too? Do I have the courage to face them?’ Then again, the thought of her father being unwell made her hea
“Are you ready?” Kaleb asked, thrilled for his very first date with Scarlett. “Umm.” Scarlett was standing at the door to her room, pursing her lips. She replied, “Yes, I am, but - “ “Daddy! I’m ready too!” Liam’s head popped out from behind Scarlett's frame, his smile reaching his ears. “I’m excited!” ‘Daddy, I’m ready too.’ ‘Daddy, I’m ready too.’ The words of Liam repeatedly rang in Kaleb’s head, and it took several seconds for everything to register. His son was going with them on his very first date with Scarlett. “Sorry,” Scarlett softly said. “He was pretty insistent.” Earlier that morning, all Liam had to say to Scarlett was, “Do you love me or not? Then… you should bring me to your date with daddy. You can’t leave me.” Scarlett just could not say no to him, and she could tell Kaleb was the same. As Liam showed his enthusiasm, Kaleb eventually surrendered to the charms of his son. “I’m excited, daddy!” Liam said, reaching for Kaleb’s hand. “I can see that,” Kale
“Here, Liam. Have some more of this beef stew. It’s really good,” Scarlett encouraged while putting a bowl in front of Liam. The boy smiled and while his father stepped out of the restaurant to take a phone call; he took the opportunity to ask Scarlett what has been going through his mind. “My Beauty, daddy said, I can't marry you? Is that true?" Scarlett blinked, slowly finding the right words to say. She sought, “Well, Liam, what do you think is the answer to that?” Liam sighed and said with a serious expression, “Well, I know I’m too young to get married.” A giggle left Scarlett’s lips. She caressed the boy’s head and said, “You know this already, right? I’m sure you are a smart boy. Besides, why did you want to marry me in the first place? How did that come into your mind?” “Because I really like you. You are so pretty and nice. I liked you from the day we met," he answered. Liam fell silent for a moment before suddenly adding, "Dad loves me but daddy is busy too. My friends
