Chapter 12Lucien AlessandroKing's bar. Tonight by 8pm.I was getting ready to leave for the meeting when my attention was drawn away by the sound of the knock on the door. Frustration kicked in knowing that it was no other person but Scarlett. The last person I wanted to see. I've been doing my best to avoid her and keep my distance, but she just seems to be all over me. Poor girl, she had no idea the horrible and crazy thoughts I was having about her.The knock came on again, and I knew I had to go take the door this time. I pulled it open, and my heart fluttered the moment I set eyes on this sexy young lady who had messed with my head and was still doing it. She was graced in a white baggy shirt which stopped right after her butt, revealing about an inch of the bum short she was wearing. Her boobs were pointing firmly at me like they were seeking attention, and the sight of them made my dick twitch excitedly. Was she seducing me? I asked myself, but dismissed the thought. Poor gir
Chapter 13Scarlett WolffI kept checking my phone every passing minute for the time as I waited for Lucien to come home. I had called to tell him earlier that I was sick, and I believed he would come to check on me.What if he doesn't? My subconscious mind asked me, and I bit my lip hard. Well, I could only hope and pray silently that he would show up. No way I would sleep here again all alone.I bolted toward my room the moment I heard his car drive into the compound, and once I was in my room, I threw myself on the bed and snuggled myself under the duvet, shivering as if I had been sick for a long time while waiting for him to show up.“Scarlett!” Came his voice as the door burst open and he barged inside. He came to squat beside me, removing the duvet that was covering my body, and I shook even more. I think I should consider casting in a movie. Until now, I didn't know I had a hidden talent which was acting. I might as well give it a shot now that I've discovered it.“Scarlett?
Chapter 14Lucien Alessandro“Will the massage make you feel better?” I found myself asking even though I've been trying to keep my distance. She looked really sick, and though this was a bad idea, I could not bring myself to let her suffer when I could actually be of help to her.She stared at me for a couple of seconds silently, blinking her cute eyes before nodding her head.“Yes, thank you,” her cute little voice made my heart melt in my chest. For a second, I had a second thought about this knowing I might not be able to behave myself later.Regardless, I put everything away and went to sit beside her on the bed. I felt a tingling sensation in my fingers, my heart pounding hard against my chest like it was going to force its way out of me. Just the sight of her beautiful body made my stomach churn with excitement. I tried to control the feeling from spreading down there, trying everything to get myself distracted. Having an erection in front of her was the last thing I wanted. I
Chapter 15Scarlett WolffI had no idea who called Lucien on the phone, but I was surely so mad at whoever it was. How could he or she call while we were in the middle of something? It's so fucking annoying.“Ugh! It shouldn't have been now.” I cursed silently, raking my hair through my fingers. With the little strength left in me, I left the bed and went to the bathroom to have a warm bath.“Fuck!” I groaned silently after I stripped out of my dress, standing in front of the mirror. My nipples were standing firmly like they needed attention. Oops! They really needed it.My pussy lips were swollen and slimy. After I was done bathing and getting dressed, I left for the kitchen to go get something to eat as I was famished. However, as I descended the staircase, I was rather welcomed by the aroma of a delicious meal coming from the kitchen.I had not expected to find Lucien in the kitchen, but there he was, making food. I stood at the Doorstep, admiring him. How sleeves were rolled up
Chapter 16Scarlett WolffWe were welcomed inside the villa by the awful smell of alcohol and cigarettes. The first thing that made me uncomfortable there, but because I wanted to clear my head, I didn't leave immediately.“Is this an in-house party or something?” I leaned close to Alexa and yelled so she could hear me amid the loud music. Is this supposed to just be a party or a clubhouse, because that is the only place that could be this rowdy.“Let's just enjoy, girl.” She rolled her eyes at me as she held my hand while moving her body to the rhythm of the music playing. Seeing the familiar faces of our students made me ask myself if the celebrant was a student of my school.“How come almost all our classmates are here? Is your cousin our student or her boyfriend?” I pulled a puzzled look, asking Alexa curiously as she led me through the crowd.“Her boyfriend, the celebrant. He is a student of our school, in his finals, but not in our department.” I muttered an ‘oh’ after she expla
Chapter 17Scarlett Wolff“Do you need me to help you with anything else?” Derek asked after he helped me get Alexa into the backseat of her car.“No, thanks. I'll take it from here.” I had turned to hop inside the car when he spoke up.“Did you drink earlier?” His question had me turning to him with my eyebrows raised.“Why do you ask?”“You can't drive while drunk.” He gave me a ridiculous reply that had me scoffing.“Do I look drunk?”“Not really. But you might get stopped on the way, and you know what that means. I don't mind giving you a ride.” He offered, and I huffed before telling him bluntly that I wasn't interested.“You will regret not accepting this offer later, Scarlett. Trust me.” He winked at me, causing me to huff and rolled my eyes.After Derek walked away, I hopped inside the car and drove off.It was just a few minutes into the drive when I saw cops on the road ahead, and I let out a sigh. I guess I'm going to get stopped. I was flagged down as I approached them, an
Chapter 18 Lucien Alessandro I was supposed to meet Vlad right away earlier, but something urgent came up, and I had to delay it. 'Let's meet at the villa now'. I texted Vlad a couple of minutes ago on my way to the villa. The drive only took about fifteen minutes before I arrived at the villa where I found Vlad's car already parked at the garage. “Boss.” He stood up and bowed when I walked inside the living room. “Hmm. Something came up, the reason I'm late.” I explained to him even though there was no need to. “It's fine, boss. I understand.” He replied to me, and I nodded. “So?” I sat on the couch across from him, waiting for him to give me the piece of information he had for me. “This is the information I found about Dimitri, boss.” Vlad dropped an iPad on the centre table and pushed it to my front. “Dimitri Pietro. Age twenty-nine. An orphan who grew up in an orphanage with his elder brother, the late Giovanni Pietro. He joined the Bratva family when he was j
Chapter 19Lucien AlessandroI drove recklessly on the road with no destination in mind. Never in a million years have I ever imagined I'd ever be this scared of someone getting hurt. It was the first time I was having this feeling.For the umpteenth time, I dialled her number, hoping I would be able to reach her this time, but just like every other time that I had tried it, her number wasn't still reachable.“Fuck!” I cursed, tossing my phone on the seat beside me.Another five minutes into the drive, and I saw a few cops ahead of me, checking the cars in front of me and causing traffic congestion.I waited impatiently until they got to my turn.“There was a murder case around the neighborhood, so we are checking cars. Open your trunk, please.” The cop, who was in his mid thirties, said to me politely, and I had to open the trunk for him. After he was done checking, he came to me and told me that I could leave. I was about to leave when it crossed my mind to show him Scarlett's pictu
Chapter 51Vladimir Pietro‘'Everything has been moved to the warehouse, boss'A smile spread across my lips while reading the text Vladimir had just sent to me a couple of seconds ago.'I'll be there shortly. Wait for me along with the boys' I replied to his text. I was getting ready to leave the office when a knock sounded on the door, and I ushered in whoever was there.It was Liam. My secretary.“Yes, Liam?” I barely spared him a glance as I was busy switching off my desktop.“There is an encrypted email for you, Sir. I already forwarded it to you via email. Also, the proposal for Mr. Grants has been concluded,”I raised my gaze to meet his head sitting on his 6’3ft height. His blue eyes were looking straight at me, but he lowered them the moment I made eye contact with him.“Send the proposal to the Grants corp and let me know their reply later. As for the email, I will check it later,” I told him, and he bowed slightly before turning to leave.“Liam…”He paused, turning to me
Derek 'Let's be friends' My heart ached as those words kept repeating in my head. What was she trying to say? That I wasn't good enough for a relationship? I wasn't her type of man? Who was then? That old man? She's going to regret this. The fading reverberating laughter on the rooftop brushed my ears as I took the stairs up, but was welcomed by Alexa standing close to the rail with her phone pressed to her ear with her right hand, and her left hand holding the rail. “That's sweet. I love you too,” I watched as she concluded her call. She flinched when she turned and found me standing with my hands tucked inside my pockets. “Derek?” She pulled a surprised face, and I finally walked up to her. “Have you been standing there?” She raised her eyebrows, and I scoffed silently. Bitch! I wasn't eavesdropping on your conversation. I put on a smile, shaking my head and said. “I just got here. I only heard ‘that’s sweet. I love you',” She breathed out, relief creeping up her face.
Chapter 48 Derek “It's the class president,” “Derek is here,” My classmates were quick to announce my presence as I made my way into the meeting hall where almost all my classmates were already waiting. My eyes dropped on Scarlett, and I almost smiled when I saw her standing out perfectly in the crowd. How she was always able to melt my heart in a way that no one woman could ever do, was something I couldn't still wrap my head around. Perhaps, she was just a special being. I made my way to the front of the hall, the noise slowly died down as I stood behind the podium until the loud silence took over. Even the sound of a pin drop would be heard at that moment. “Uh…” I began, taking a short deep breath. I wasn't cut out for this, but what could I do when I had to address the happenings? Damn the school rector for putting me up to this. I wouldn't be here if he hadn't asked me to. 'The school is already in chaos, Derek. You need to address this' He had pleaded with me while a

Chapter 46Scarlett Wolff“How is Mr. Hottie?” Alexa whispered in my ear as we headed into the class, and I chuckled. My mind was about to explode, and I really needed to let out everything because I couldn't keep it inside me. What happened was too much to handle.“He is fine,” I smirked at her, and she gasped, covering her mouth.“Something happened, right? You better tell me everything without leaving a single thing out,” she pointed her index finger at me as we walked to take a seat, and I chuckled.“I wasn't planning to,” I smirked at her, and she chuckled.“That is why I love you. Now, spill the beans,” she kicked the air excitedly, covering her face as her cheeks flushed.I told her everything that happened between Lucien and I this morning, and by the time I was done narrating everything, she was sitting frozen on the spot with her eyes widened.“All that happened?” She cupped her cheeks in her palms, raising an eyebrow questioningly.“Fuck! This is… my goodness! I need someon
Chapter 46DerekI felt a surge of anger as I watched Scarlett stepping out of the car that just came to drop her off in front of the school gate. It was the same person who came to pick her from my house last night.The way she smiled as she waited until he drove off, left a sting in my heart. Even though it looked like it, I refused to believe it. She couldn't have a thing with that man. I refused to even think of it even though it was obvious.I walked over to her, arriving at the time she turned to come inside through the gate. She paused the moment she saw me, shock was written on her face. Was she hoping no one would see her when she was busy showing him off like he owned her?“Hey!” She smiled at me. “Good morning,”“Hmm. Good morning,” I tucked my hands inside my pockets, and briefly looked in the direction the car went as if I could still see it, before turning my gaze back to her.“I see you got home safely last night,” I gave her a smile, even though I was burning inside.“
Chapter 44Scarlett WolffMy heart thumped hard against my ribcage as Lucien slid his hand underneath my robe, caressing my bare thigh. My stomach became dry, the air around me thickened and became hard to take in, making my breath almost shallow.I felt a warm feeling spread across my body, my skin tingling with anticipation as I threw my head back on the wall, resisting the urge to moan.'You can't do this, Scarlett. You can't let him touch you just like that after what he did'I reminded myself, gathering all the courage left in me to push him back roughly.“Don't touch me!” My voice almost betrayed me, but I was glad I could still sound cold. I threw him a glare before walking out of the bathroom, slamming the door behind me.Lucien followed me into the room, grabbing my hand and pulling me back as I crashed against his back, but I yanked his hand off and stepped away from him.“You don't fucking touch me like you own me, Mr. Lucien. Don't cross your boundary,” it's crazy how I wa
Chapter 43Scarlett Wolff“Here… change into this,” Derek handed me a robe after he gave me a room to spend the night in.“Thank you,” I muttered, and he gave me a smile.“Call me if you need anything. Make yourself comfortable,” he said to me before leaving the room, and I went to lock the door once he was out of the room, throwing myself on the spacious queen-sized bed once it was just myself inside the room.My mind wandered off to the thought of Lucien, and I bit my lip hard. After trying to reach him earlier with no success, I had left the house to go look for him though I had no idea where I could find him. That was until I got freaked out in the middle of the road. I tried calling Alexa, but she didn't take her call, and I presumed she probably had her phone silenced before going to bed. At that moment, the only person I could reach out to was Derek, and I was glad he came right in time to save me from that cold and scary night.I reached for my phone, and it was then I saw a m
