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
Scarlett just could not hold it in. After learning the truth, she wept, feeling sentimental. For one, she was elated that Kaleb gave Liam unconditional love, despite knowing he was not the boy’s father. Second, she realized there was so much more to Kaleb than what she thought she knew. After all, he gave up his single life to give Liam a father. She recalled how Samantha pointed out that Kaleb’s life had changed after Liam's arrival. Kaleb admitted the same. Scarlett finally understood why. Embracing Kaleb tight, she said, “My god, Kaleb. You did a very compassionate thing, giving Liam a father.” Accepting Scarlett’s hold, Kaleb revealed, “While that may be true, Scarlett, but in reality, Liam did more for me than I did for him. It was because of him that I finally had a clearer path. You could say… I manned up to be his father, and that included taking a more serious role in the company.” “So you see, kitten.” Pulling away, Kaleb looked straight into Scarlett’s espresso eyes an
“No, please. Not too soon. I beg you, Scarlett, do not make this decision right away,” Philip proposed. After Scarlett promised to marry Kaleb, the man was over the moon. In two days, he took Scarlett to see her parents, just to formally ask their permission. Kaleb knew it wasn’t necessary, but considering how Scarlett was mending her relationship with her parents, he wanted to give Philip and Cindy the courtesy. Raising a brow, Scarlett tried to explain, “But, father -” “Look. Don’t get me wrong, here, Kaleb. I am very thankful for all the help that you have given me and my family, but can’t you give me and Cindy time to make it up to Scarlett? We have plans. After Scarlett passes the bar exam, we want to travel outside the country with her and experience the life that we should have done in the past,” Philip added. “And, besides. How long have you known each other? Don’t you think you both are rushing into this?” Cindy suggested. “I love Scarlett,” Kaleb announced. “I feel c
“It’s just for today. I swear. If his bodyguard did not have an emergency.” Scarlett was chasing her breath while trying to explain to her boss how, after her afternoon break, she wound up walking back to the office, carrying a six-year-old child. “And if not for the fact that he insisted on being with me, I would have taken a taxi to the Wright Diamond Corporation and leave him with his uncle -” “Nonsense,” Jessica said in response. “You are going to drive an hour in the opposite way? And besides, it’s just over an hour before work ends. Last, he is the son of our biggest client. Of course, you can have him stay with you.” "Don't forget to leave a good word for me with the Wright brothers," Jessica added with a wink. Letting out a sigh of relief, Scarlett said, “Thank you for your understanding, Misses Hogans. I appreciate it.” Liam, who had been behind Scarlett the whole time, peeked to smile at Jessica. He said, “Thank you, lady. Your dress is pretty, just like you.” Jessie en
“I, say your name,” Liam instructed. While in front of her colleagues, Amber reluctantly raised her right hand. She was there to win the little boy’s heart. She dared not question his intent. She smiled, following Liam, “I, Amber Lum.” “Do solemnly swear that I will wholeheartedly offer gifts and snacks of any kind to Liam Wright,” Liam continued. “Ah, this kid is cute! I think we are going to be a good pair.” Amber chuckled, looking at everyone in the group before she re-did her oath, “I, Amber Lum, do solemnly swear that I will wholeheartedly offer gifts and snacks of any kind to Liam Wright.” “For as long as he wished and for as long as I live,” Liam added, and Amber reluctantly repeated the words. “Liam? Any kind? Baby, maybe we should list what you ask for-” Scarlett tried to object, but Amber cut off her words. Amber said, “Oh, please, Scarlett. You are no fun. You should give in more to the boy.” She turned to everyone, saying, “He is just so cute, right?” After Amber
