Thank you for reading! The next chapter is tomorrow afternoon.
"Stop! Don't drink anything from her!" Courtney and Cindy’s heads snapped in the direction of the familiar voice. It shocked them to see who came barging into their tea session, looking like she was in a frenzy. ‘Why is she here? What is the meaning of this?’ Courtney felt her skin crawl, sensing this was not going to end well for her. “Analisa? What brings you here at this hour?” Cindy asked with a brow raised. “Don’t drink that tea, Cindy!” Analisa formed a full frown on her face and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She turned to her daughter and said, “I’m sorry, I just could not stand it anymore. You have gone mad, my daughter!” Feeling her heart racing, Courtney yelled back, "What? I'm mad?" Turning to Cindy, Analisa reported, “Cindy, Courtney intends to poison you! She wants to kill you!" Blood easily drained from Courtney’s face. Never in her wildest imagination did she expect her own biological mother to put the blame on her. Analisa was throwing her under
“Misses Hogans, I just want to thank you for giving me a chance,” Scarlett said in front of her boss, Jessica Hogans, after missing two full days of work. Scarlett was skeptical if she still had a job, despite informing HR about her situation. However, following her mother’s decision to hire a private prosecutor, she brought the case to Longhills And Hogans Associates. She was deemed a client, and that added a plus point for her. “You are going to have to make up for your absences, Miss Barnes,” Jessica suggested. “You are going to be extended in trademark and patent team, plus overtime. Mind you, I am only giving you one week of leave. If you can’t return, I suggest you voluntarily resign. I need people to move my company, Scarlett, not put it on hold, regardless of your personal reasons. You can reapply when -" “That won’t happen. I promise to be back next week. Misses Hogans, thank you so much for the understanding. I swear to make it up to you,” Scarlett replied with a heavy s
“Mommy, I missed you so much,” Liam said to Scarlett while being tucked into bed. Scarlett smiled and pecked on his cheek, saying, “I’m sorry, baby. I had a very busy - busy week. I hope you did well in school. Boris tells me you were practicing with Jake a lot.” Liam nodded, and then he yawned. “We want to join a talent contest. I hope you’ll be there for the show.” “That’s good. Just remind me about it, okay? Get some sleep.” Scarlett lay beside him for a few minutes, simply humming the young boy to sleep. Only after seeing that Liam was sleeping like a rock did Scarlett make her way to Kaleb’s study. “Still working?” Scarlett pouted her lips as she paced in front of his desk, her eyes scanning the documents scattered on the table. “I missed out a lot.” Taking a deep breath, Kaleb reported, “Kitten, I might travel more often in the months to come. Kyle has expressed that managing the corporation has become more and more demanding. He thinks it is best to separate the Diamond
“God, you are so beautiful,” Kaleb remarked as he lay down on the bed, waiting. His mouth remained parted as he palmed himself from the anticipation. Lazily, Scarlett sat on him. She smiled, seeing the lust in Kaleb’s eyes. She teased, “I like it when you look at me like that... tiger." Kaleb watched as Scarlett moved her hips back and forth, the head of his manhood peeking while getting assailed on her bottom lips. He hissed, feeling the wetness of her entrance. “Kitten, you are making me crazy.” She was moistening his length with her love juice, teasing him without penetration. “Aaah.” Scarlett sighed in desire. She just recently had an orgasm. That and, the feeling of his hard rod against her core was very stimulating, especially how she was practically rubbing her entire crack onto his shaft. As she pleasured herself, she could feel Kaleb’s hands squeezing her behind. She heard him say, “You are so sexy, my kitten.” Kaleb could not help but marvel at her slender waist, the
“I’m not.” Running his long fingers through his dirty blond hair, Luca said, “I’m not here for trouble.” He raised both his hands and suggested, “I just… I just want to talk. Please, Scarlett.” “How did you know I was here?” Scarlett asked. She was scanning the reception area of the Longhills And Hogans Associates for any signs of other people. Scarlett was sincerely afraid Luca would make a scene. What was worse about his situation was how Luca looked like he was in terrible shape. His hair was a mess, his clothes weren’t neatly ironed, and his eyes had black circles around them. Scarlett speculated what was wrong with him. “I learned from our trademark attorney that you and Joy filed the opposition for our trademark claim,” Luca revealed. "So, I'm here. It's good that you got a job here." “Why do you look like that, Luca? Have you been sleeping in the office?” Scarlett asked. When Luca mildly chuckled, she got her answer. “You know me very well,” Luca remarked. Sucking in a
“Associates and staff, this is Kaleb Wright. As you know, the Wright Diamond Corporation is our biggest client,” Jessica Hogans announced as they were standing there along the rows of cubicles. It was because Jessica was rather amazed how Kaleb Wright became interested upon hearing the name of Luca James. She was forced to stop and introduce the man to her staff. “He and the company's corporate lawyers are here to establish another cooperation, in working out a reorganization in the business,” Jessica happily revealed, and then she addressed Kaleb’s earlier probing. “Mister Wright, about Luca James? They were referring to one of our paralegals." Pointing to Scarlett, Jessica said, "She is an ex-girlfriend of Luca James and a potential rekindling of relationship may be on the way.” Following Jessica's suggestion, Kaleb's jaws clenched while Scarlett's heart raced. Her head quickly swayed in disagreement. Jessica then returned her attention to her staff and urged everyone to greet
If a rich, tall, handsome man kisses you out of nowhere, would you kiss back? It wasn’t even about that for Scarlett. This was Kaleb Wright, Scarlett’s gorgeous tiger, and he was sucking her lips with intensity. Of course, she kissed back! His arms were around her waist, pulling her closer to his solid chest, his heavenly spicy scent blending with hers. Scarlett could feel the burning gaze of everyone in the room, especially from her back. She could only imagine the shock of the senior associates in the rooms, much more, that of Jessica Hogans, her boss. Kaleb’s eyes were nearly closed as he began pulling away. He gave her one last peck and remarked, “Indeed, the chocolate drink is delicious.” He winked at her and added, “Thank you for the coffee, kitten. You can go back to work now. I’ll speak to you later.” When Scarlett took a step back, she heard one of Kaleb’s corporate lawyers say, “Oh, I remember now. This is miss Beauty!” Scarlett, “...” “Ah, is this miss Beauty, Miste
“Listen, Scarlett. We don’t know if we are making the right decision, here, but.” Cindy turned to Philip and said, “We don’t want to waste our time trying to pin a longer sentence to Analisa. So we spoke to Yael and we are willing to negotiate for ten years.” “That’s two counts, Scarlett. So if she accepts the bargain, she’ll be locked up for twenty years total,” Yael said. Scarlett sighed. She turned to her father, who was still not in his full strength. She nodded and replied, “I understand. It’s never that easy to battle it out in court. I mean, Kaleb could help us get an earlier trial, but still -” “Yes, and we still need to prove she was the mastermind of both attempts to murder Cindy and Philip by poisoning.” Scarlett nodded. Scarlett was back in Swaxon City to visit her parents and Aurora. The plan was to have Kaleb there with her, but with the changes in the Wright Diamond Corporation underway, her tiger only sent her off at the airport. He flew out to London at the same
