Thank you. The next chapter will be a little late. I'm late today.
"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
Scarlett was feeling hot all over. Her heart was beating so fast. Kaleb’s solid chest was pinning her against the door, his arms keeping her from escaping. The scent of his spicy cologne easily filled her nostrils, and it added to her undisciplined excitement. As he spoke, she felt his hot breath against her forehead. He was gradually and most certainly moving down, his eyes fixed on her plum lips. ‘This man!’ Scarlett could not wrap her head around it. ‘He was just downright shameless!’ Yet, in spite of what she thought of him, when Kaleb moved closer, her knees and arms turned like noodles, surrendering for what was about to come. Her head was telling her to say no, but her body stilled, unwittingly accepting his advances. “As you wish, I’m all yours now. Let’s kiss and seal the deal, shall we?” Kaleb said, and Scarlett did not miss how he gulped before inching closer to her lips. It did not take long before their noses touched, and their lips brushed together. When Kaleb
“Coffee?” Scarlett said, raising the mug in her hand. She entered Kaleb’s study that afternoon while the man was busy going over some documents. “Thank you, my kitten. Come here,” he said while winking at her. He then urged her to take the seat in front of him. Putting the warm beverage on the desk, Scarlett informed, “Liam is sleeping. He is still tired from yesterday. I thought you didn’t work on Sundays.” “Hmmm.” Kaleb reached for the coffee and replied, “Most times, it can’t be helped, but I at least bring work home. Though, this is not work. I’m reviewing what Archer has planned for taking down your former manager, Miss Cook, at the herbal twist restaurant.” “You are what? You don’t have to - “ “Of course, I do. I’m not letting this go, Scarlett. God knows what would have happened to you if you did not have the courage to kick that man’s balls,” Kaleb responded. He took a sip of his coffee and said, “And no, you can’t make me change my mind. After your manager, I’m going af
Standing in front of the driveway, Scarlett studied her reflection through the glass windows of the Third Diamond Hotel. Seeing how professional she appeared to be, she smiled while turning to Kaleb. She said, “Thank you for the clothes.” That day was Scarlett’s interview at the Longhills and Hogans Associates, the best law firm in the city. So instead of going to Liam’s school, Scarlett would take a mode of private transport, arranged by the hotel. “Good luck, kitten.” Kaleb leaned over and pecked on her lips. Then after, he winked at her and said, “Break a leg… and. You look great.” “Are you guys married now? Can I call you mommy now?” The couple both turned to Liam, smirking in front of them, his arms crossed against his chest. Scarlett turned red at Liam's suggestion and Kaleb answered the boy, “Not yet, son, but as soon as Scarlett passes the board exams, we will make the arrangements.” Dumbfounded, Scarlett turned to Kaleb, but he just chuckled at her, saying, “We talked a
“This way, Scarlett,” Kyle said, pointing to the biggest room on the floor. Scarlett was feeling bashful with the fact that Kaleb’s brother, the CEO of The Wright Diamond Corporation, was walking her to the Vice President’s office. Everyone’s eyes were staring at her, clearly speculating her identity. Eventually, they arrived at the designated room, and then Kyle pointed to the lock, saying, “You can stay in his office while waiting for Kaleb. I already asked my assistant to bring you coffee and treats.”“Um. Thank you, Mister -”“Kyle, you can call me Kyle,” Kaleb’s brother proposed. He repeated to point to the door and suggested, “Open it with your thumb. It has your biometrics saved.”Noticing Scarlett's perplexed expression, Kyle explained, “Yes, it’s a smart digital door lock. While I could open the door for you, it’s best to understand how I am familiar with you. You see, we all know you; by face, and under the name of Beauty." Scarlett was taken aback at the discovery. She cl

***Between Kristoff and Kayden*** “Grandma! Grandpa!” Kristoff and Kayden ran toward their grandparents. The Wright family gathered for the twin's third year birthday. “Oh, my dear. Help me!” Samantha exclaimed, turning to her husband with pleading eyes. With age, it became rather difficult for Ethan and Samantha to remember all their grandkids. It was especially hard with Kristoff and Kayden since they looked alike. The boys were a perfect example of identical twins. Their resemblance was so uncanny that it was difficult to tell them apart. “Who wants chocolates?” Ethan raised two bars of the treat. Kayden took one, and Kristoff took the other. Smiling, Ethan pinched Kayden's cheek. He said, “Kayden, my boy!” Then he kissed Kristoff’s cheek and greeted, “Kristoff!” “Yes, grandpa!” Each of the twins acknowledged. Samantha’s mouth fell open. Then, when the twins left, she asked Ethan, “How did you do that?” Ethan smirked triumphantly. He moved closer to his wife and revealed,
Scarlett was taken aback, hearing the news on the phone. It made her gulp. Tears stung her eyes. Her lips trembled as she lowered her mobile back to her purse. The couple was back at their mansion. It had been a month since Kristoff and Kayden were born, and finally; they were able to take the twins home. There were no complications during their month of stay at the hospital. However, the identical twins had to learn how to feed and gain more weight before being discharged from the hospital. Scarlett was inside the nursery, settling the twin boys, Kristoff and Kayden, in their cribs, when she received a call. “What happened? Why are you in tears all of a sudden?” Kaleb asked from the other side of the room. “Did Liam tell you anything about today?” She pursed her lips while wiping the wetness on her face. Then, she inhaled and said, “Any idea why he was late in seeing us at the hospital?” Kaleb’s eyes panned from side to side. Eventually, he shook his head and replied, “He did
Over two years passed. “Lily! Baby, be careful running around,” Scarlett called while setting food on the patio table. Her two-year-old daughter was running on the front lawn without hold. Scarlett glared at Liam, saying, “Liam, please. Keep up with your sister!” It was a Saturday, and weekends were meant for family time. Hence, they had their usual lunch on the patio before resuming with that afternoon’s play activity. “She runs too fast, mom!” Liam, at fourteen years old, complained while dashing after his two-year-old sister. Levin and Lewis, both five years old, also chased after Lily. They were laughing and teasing Lily, acting like zombies to scare her off. “Stop it guys. You are scaring your sister,” Scarlett tried to reason with the boys, but when the twins did not listen. Scarlett turned around and called her husband, “Kaleb! Levin and Lewis aren’t listening!” The twins immediately stopped trailing after Lily, and at the sight of their father, they sealed their lip
“What is it, father?” Scarlett asked, seeing her parents late in the afternoon at their home, her hand landing on her tummy. Scarlett was already five months pregnant and carrying a baby girl. It was precisely what Kaleb wanted. Philip and Cindy looked at each other. Philip replied, “Analisa is dead, and Courtney is in the hospital fighting for her life. We received the call two hours ago, and… we decided that we thought… we should let you know in person.” “What happened?” Scarlett asked, sitting on the couch. "How did Analisa end up dead? And How did Courtney end up in the hospital?" “The prison guard had long reported Analisa’s animosity towards Courtney. So that was why they have never put them in the same cell,” Cindy reported. “I think that was because Courtney testified against Analisa with Luca’s lawsuit.” Scarlett nodded. She recalled how Analisa was given another ten years in prison without parole. Luca was determined to put Analisa behind bars, considering how he thought
“Good morning, sunshine.” Feeling kisses on her back, Scarlett felt ticklish. Her eyes opened. She smiled with the recollection of how they made love last night. She turned to her husband and accepted more kisses on the lips. Her grin grew wider. She said, “Last night was amazing.” Scarlett recalled how, after doing it in the living room windows, they resumed making love in the main bedroom of the penthouse suite. After which, they did it again in the shower. Finally, they had a late dinner and made love again in the dining area. The couple dozed off after the fourth round, but Kaleb woke her up at three in the morning, already making love to her from behind. So they spooned into their fifth round of lovemaking. Scarlett and Kaleb delighted in sweet and gentle pecks, smiling and caressing each other’s skins. Kaleb was the first to speak. “Congratulations on your promotion, kitten… but now that you are a senior associate, I hope you won’t take back-to-back lawsuits so often.” “
Scarlett was ready to kick the man’s balls as soon as her feet would land on the floor, but she easily caught the scent of her husband’s perfume, and it wasn’t just that. The man’s arms, his height, his build, and his natural scent were just utterly familiar to her. “Are you ready for a night of pleasure, Misses Wright?” When he spoke, everything became clear to her. How could she not recognize her own husband? It was Kaleb! The man hurriedly carried her to the living room and settled her on the sofa. He climbed on top of her and his lips smashed down on hers. “Mmmmm,” A moan escaped Scarlett’s lips, making Kaleb lean back. The smacking sound of their lips echoed across the vast living room space. The lights were still off, and they could only make out their familiar figures as they began tearing each other’s clothes. Kaleb let go of Scarlett’s lips, saying, “Are you going to cheat on your husband, Misses Wright? I’m going to fuck you carelessly.” Scarlett chuckled. She answe
A year passed. “Kitten, we are outside the courthouse,” Kaleb said on the phone. Scarlett turned to the courtroom one last time, and seeing the satisfied look on her colleagues' faces; she knew they tried their very best. Even their clients, Secure Coverage International, were happy with the closing arguments. They went against Braeton city’s mayor, who had purposely burned down his vacation home to claim a fire insurance premium. In court, Scarlett and her team presented evidence that the mayor had long been planning for a complete renovation and that taking the entire house down had always been part of his plan. The judge may not have decided yet, but Scarlett believed they would win. She smiled at the happy faces of her team members before saying goodbye. “Guys, I need to go now. Mister Rick, and Miss Sanchez, thank you again for trusting us with this case. I’ll see you again next week during the sentencing.” Scarlett made her way outside the courthouse in her white, yet forma
Liam embraced Scarlett. He caressed Scarlett’s back and said, “Mom, I’m sorry.” “I just want to understand, Liam. I thought you would be happy about me being there for you. It’s been a while since I waited for you after school,” Scarlett pointed out. While she was thoughtfully hurt about how Liam acted, she relished in his embrace and hugged him back. “I was expecting you to hug me, kiss my cheeks, and tell me you miss me being there for you after school hours, but instead, you pushed me away.” “I’m sorry that I have been so busy, but I always tell you why and I come to your room every night, even if we don’t get to talk sometimes. I wanted to let you know I came to check on you.” Letting go, Scarlett could see how Liam was feeling guilty. Using his fingers, he wiped the tears that stained her face. He took several deep breaths and answered, “It’s - it’s not that.” Liam scratched his head and admitted, “I knew you were busy, mom. Dad keeps telling me too. I wish you had more time
