“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

    "I don't want to lie down!" Cried Liam as Scarlett loosened her hold on him. "I want to hold you, mommy!" "Baby, you have to. Hugging me all the time will only make your body warmer. We have to cool you down," Scarlett advised, before trying to hush his cries. "Now, now. Listen to me." "Listen to your mommy, Liam. She knows what is good for you," Samantha said, her hands reaching for Liam, urging him to lie on the hospital bed. After Liam went into a short convulsion, Scarlett and Boris rushed the boy to the hospital, where he was admitted for a possible infection. Samantha arrived soon after learning the news. Kaleb, on the other hand, had to remain in London. However, he had called a few times since Liam’s confinement. Boris explained to Scarlett and Samantha how Liam said he was feeling tired and wanted to sleep. He figured the young man was exhausted after several days of late piano practices at school, so he allowed Liam to stay in his room for the remaining afternoon. He

    With Scarlett’s probing, Kaleb froze in his seat. He gulped repeatedly before he lowered his gaze. He replied, “Um… I wasn’t well. My creatinine was low.” “When did you even have your blood assessed? I don’t remember you told me about it? Nor did I see that on the billing?” Scarlett pointed out. “You studied the bill?” Kaleb countered. “What were you trying to find out, Scarlett?” “To check if everything was correct!” Scarlett pointed out. Frowning, Kaleb answered, “I - I paid cash. It would not be on the bill, Scarlett.” ‘Scarlett?’ Rarely did Kaleb call her by her name nowadays, it made her wonder where it was coming from. She pursed her lips before seeking again, “Okay, do you mind if you tell me what is your blood type? At least, answer that." “What for?” Kaleb asked back. He then yawned and suggested, “Look, Scarlett. I’m tired. Can we talk about this some other time -” “No. This time is a perfect time,” she came back. “I can’t shake off the feeling that you are hiding so

    ***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
