Thank you. The next chapter is in the evening, Singapore Time.
Scarlett was feeling emotional while staring at the front of the Barnes mansion. She took deep breaths, her feet nearly retreating as her fears take over her. Recalling the last time she was here, her parents castigated her for assaulting Courtney and for shaming the name of the Barnes. They never believed her side of the story, claiming that Scarlett was jealous of her adopted sister. It was true, though. She really was jealous. Scarlett should have the love of her parents and not Courtney. She felt she should be the one living a comfortable life and not her fake sister. Not her parent’s fake daughter. But why was her life so pathetic? Despite being the legitimate daughter, she was the one who was cast aside! She felt Courtney was very selfish to silently keep her own biological parents away from her. Greatly, she sucked in a breath. Her eyes closed as she reached for the handles of the massive double doors, and with all her courage, she entered the home. “Scarlett, it’s good
“I now know why I had to lose my best friend Luca.” For a fleeting moment, Luca’s heart ached. ‘She still thought of me as her best friend?’ Hearing Scarlett’s next lines, however, Luca's body stiffened. She said, "It's because... I was meant to be with someone greater." Almost immediately, Luca’s eyes narrowed at Scarlett. He thought, ‘She was meant for someone better? It’s exactly what Courtney said to me. Scarlett never saw me as someone who deserved her... How could she?' To his understanding, Scarlett merely pitied him. There was a time when he became ill. He was never the same again and only Scarlett knew about it. She accepted his marriage proposal because of his connections, his father’s law firm, just so she could achieve her dreams of becoming a successful lawyer. 'She never truly loved me. It was all an act,' Luca reminded himself. Recalling the phone call he made to her a few days back, Luca was taken aback. He never expected a man to answer her mobile. Whoever it wa
“Me? I am not expecting anybody.” Courtney turned to Luca’s curious face, and she shrugged. “Aurora, we are in the middle of a very important discussion,” Cindy reminded. She walked over to the door with her blood still boiling, angered at Scarlett’s earlier announcement. “Misses Barnes, it’s just that he insisted, and he did not look like a simpleton,” Aurora reasoned. Her eyes briefly looked back, as if checking if the visitor followed behind her. “Who is it then?” Courtney inquired. “His name is Kaleb Wright,” Aurora replied, her eyes going to Courtney as if trying to find an answer. “I thought the last name was very familiar.” “Kaleb Wright?” Luca asked. His face could not help but frown following yesterday’s encounter with the man at The Wright Diamond Corporation. He cast Courtney a puzzled look, asking, “And why would he be looking for you, Courtney?” “Um. I’m not sure. Maybe at the gala?” Courtney blushed. She instantly recalled an event that went back four months ago
Scarlett already expected Kaleb to draw attention to her, make Courtney jealous, make her mother contemplate their past decisions about abandoning her and make Luca finally realize that she was over him. What she absolutely did not predict was to be engrossed with an open-mouth kiss right in front of them. Still, she enjoyed it. Who would not? Kaleb was a very good kisser. He was always eager and passionate with his kisses. He made her feel as though she was the only girl he had ever kissed in his entire life! “Mmm.” She moaned into Kaleb’s mouth and ultimately, she pulled away from the heated kiss, her lips easily became numbed. “Scarlett? How was the will reading?” Kaleb purposely asked. He grabbed her hand and turned to face Courtney, Cindy, and Luca. “I hope my girlfriend had a fair share of the properties of the Barnes.” Kaleb turned to Cindy and emphasized, “After all, she is your biological daughter.” Silence stretched between both parties. Cindy paled at what she had ju
“Kaleb - Aaah.” With dreamy eyes, Scarlett suggested, “We - we should really go to the room - Mmmm.” Scarlett was lying on the sofa seat, with Kaleb on top of her. He was kissing her, his hand senselessly massaging her bosom from inside her usual t-shirt dress. His hips ground against her pelvic area, giving her a feel of his hardness. The two had been making out for minutes, and Kaleb was just about ready to receive his reward. Hearing her plea, Kaleb got up and said, “No, kitten. Here is fine. Liam is already asleep. No one can disturb us.” After peeling off her completely, he took off his top, and he grabbed Scarlett’s hand, saying, “My turn to lie down.” Before doing so, Kaleb required, “Take off your sleeping dress, kitten. I want to feel every part of your skin.” Sheepishly, Scarlett did so as he requested. When her eyes landed back on Kaleb, she found him laying on the sofa, his pajamas were already down on the floor. His large rod was springing back and forth, his hand ho
Days passed. “Promise me, you’ll be my mommy,” Liam said before he sipped on his chocolate milkshake. Scarlett and Liam were having an afternoon snack, right after arriving from school. She giggled and casually replied, “Okay.” Diverting Liam’s attention, she read through his math notebook and said, “So, it says here, you talked about problem-solving.” “Yes, it was boring,” said Liam. “My uncle Kyle is good at math.” “Hmmmp.” Scarlett let out a laugh. She asked, “So you learned from your uncle Kyle?” “Yes, and from my cousins, too. Brother Kenneth is really smart,” Liam revealed. “But he is sickly.” “I see. Wonder why we did not get to see them yet.” Scarlett flushed at the thought of meeting more of Kaleb’s family. She was always curious about them. So far, she had only met Kyle. While he looked scary, apparently, he was nice after all. “Sometimes, they come to visit, but most of the time, we meet at the office. There is a playroom there.” A big smile formed on his face whe
“Maybe we shouldn't go. Maybe we should just… stay here,” Kaleb said while his lips grazed over the side of Scarlett’s slender neck. His hand crawled up to her breast, and he cupped it. “You look so smoking hot tonight. I’m afraid every man at the event will try to steal you away from me.” Feeling his hot breath against her neck, Scarlett had goosebumps all over. It took everything within her to smack his hand away, saying, “Behave, Mister Wright. Don’t you forget how your friend has called you several times today.” “Maybe I can stay behind, but you need to attend his birthday party,” Scarlett proposed. “Besides, whatever makes you think I’m that hot?” Looking at her dress, she bit her lip. She sneered and said, “I don’t know about this, Kaleb. I’m not cut out for this. Me and elegant dresses never go hand in hand.” Scarlett was looking at herself in the mirror from inside Kaleb's bedroom. She was wearing a golden-metallic dress that had one shoulder drape sleeve. The gown flowed d
‘Downgrade?’ Scarlett’s eyes rounded. She sucked in a deep breath and puffed. Only then did she turn to Nicole and asked, “So you think a future lawyer is a downgrade to a model?” Scarlett shook her head and said, “Sorry, but in our world, attorneys are more distinguished than models.” She was never one to look down on people. After all, Scarlett was raised in hardship, but her pride itched to fight back. She added, "And what about being different? Strange how I have been hearing that word lately.” Scarlett shrugged and suggested, “If he has not settled down with someone like you, then, maybe different is what Kaleb needs.” “You have some confidence -” “Of course! I’m his girlfriend, not you. I’m the one he holds hand with,” Scarlett countered. “The one he goes home to -” “Goes home to you?” With a scorned expression, Nicole said, “I doubt that. He has a bastard child to home to. I bet he fucks you at a hotel and leaves you there. ” “We live together,” Scarlett shot back, her bo

***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
