Chapter 3
Lucien Alessandro “Fuck!” I groaned silently, wrapping my palm around my hard cock, closing my eyes as I took a deep breath. My heart pounded hard against my chest, my body responding instinctively as a quiet longing stirred within me. Warmth coursed through my body, my stomach twitching, my breath hitching as I jerked my hand down my cock, stroking it slowly and gently. “Scarlett…” her name slipped out of my parted lips as I threw my head back, shutting my eyes tightly. Fuck it! It has been five years. Five years of torture and pain. Five years of wanting a woman who is forbidden for me, denying my desires yet the flame still burns. My best friend's daughter. A young lady who was supposed to be a daughter to me. How could I want her in my bed? How could I desire her when there are several other women out there who would do anything to grace my bed? But sadly, it has to be her. It can't be any other person but Scarlett. She has the key to my wild fantasy. This is wrong, Lucien. Scarlett is your best friend's daughter. She is supposed to be like a daughter to you. I would always remind myself each time I had these crazy thoughts about her, but it never got better. For the past five years, there has never been a day that passed by without thinking about her. There has never been a passing day without having the imagination of how great it'll be to have her on my bed. Her long straight legs I badly wanted wrapped around my torso while I give her the best fuck of her life and give her the best feeling no man can ever give her. Her smooth silky skin I couldn't stop imagining how good they would feel under my touch. Her lengthy blonde hair. My biggest fantasy. How great it'll feel holding a handful of it while she stays on her knees and sucks my cock dry, swallowing my cum to the last drop. Her honey-brown eyes. Those sparkling charming eyes that always melted my heart. Those eyes that always felt like they were staring right through my soul. How beautiful she looked that night in her birthday dress. Everything about her has been etched in my memory for years. I had no idea what Scarlett did to me, but this feeling all began since that night. That night at her eighteenth birthday party. I swore to keep my distance, despite the longing and desire for her, but sadly, our fate got entangled when her dad asked to take her to live with me for some time. I couldn't have said no to my best friend without a reason, right? “Ugh! Fuck!” I groaned, my body shaky, my breath growing shallow with every second that passed by. My skin heightened sensitively, blood coursing through my vein, my cock standing aggressively. “Oh fuck, Scarlett!” I cried out pleasurably, increasing my pace, my body covered in sweat. The feeling was good. So fucking good that I didn't want it to end, but that was before I exploded, releasing all my seeds over my hand, dripping down my legs and to the floor. “Fuck!” I cursed, breathing heavily. After I was done, I headed inside the bathroom and showered. I met my phone ringing when I walked back inside the room, and I picked it up. It was Taylor Wolff, Scarlett's dad. “Hey, Taylor,” I spoke on the phone, holding it to my ear. “Hey, friend. I haven't been able to reach you. Is everything alright?” “Hmm. I've just been busy,” I muttered, drying my hair with a towel. “Oh… I wanted to say thank you for letting my daughter stay with you,” “It's fine. That's why we are friends,” I threw myself on the bed, rubbing my fingers on my forehead. “I just wanted to say hi. I need to go now. Please take good care of my daughter,” the call disconnected, and I tossed my phone on the bed, running my fingers through my hair frustratingly. I just hope I won't do something stupid before my friend gets back. Taylor and I have been friends since we were little, and I wouldn't want anything to undermine our friendship now. I don't want to betray him. My attention was drawn to the knock on my door, followed by Scarlett's voice. “Excuse me, please,” My heart fluttered nervously, and I swallowed nothing. I was doing everything to avoid her. “One second, please,” I went to the closet where I picked up my robe and wore it before going to open the door. However, my jaw dropped to the ground and my eyes widened when I saw Scarlett. She was wearing a revealing nightie which had her hard nipples pointing at me. Her messy hair was packed up in a ponytail. I felt a twitch in my abdomen as desire coursed through me, my heartbeat quickened, causing me to swallow a breath. Is she trying to seduce me? “Scar…lett…” I could barely hold myself from looking at her chest. “Do you need anything?” I asked, trying not to get distracted. “I made breakfast. Are you coming to the dining room to eat or should I bring it to your room?” My eyes were fixated on her lips as she spoke, resisting the urge to pull her for a kiss. “Oh… breakfast?” I paused, swallowing a breath before I continued. “I have an appointment this morning. I don't think I'll be able to stay for breakfast. Let's eat together when I get back tonight,” I gave her a small smile. Her face dropped disappointedly as she muttered. “Alright.” Before leaving. I released the breath I'd been holding unknowingly once I closed the door, crashing against it. “Fuck!” I groaned, looking down at my erect cock. How long will I be able to restrain myself from giving in to this desire especially as she is here with me and all over me?Chapter 4Scarlett WolffMy heart fluttered excitedly as evening approached, anticipating Mr. Lucien's return from work. Staying a whole day without him felt like I was being torture.I jumped off the couch, and dashed toward the door when I heard his car drive inside.I stood in front of the entrance door, waiting for him with the most joyous smile on my face as I waited for him to alight from the car.However, my smile faded, and my heart sank into my stomach when he alighted from the car with a woman.My heart wrenched painfully, anger coursed through me as I watched the woman lock arm with him, smiling and talking about whatever.“Scarlett… you are here?” Mr. Lucien, who hasn't smiled since he stepped out of his car, smiled as he stopped in front of me, but my eyes were all over the woman. How dare she touch him?!“Wow! Is she your niece that you told me was staying with you?” The woman asked with a smile on her face, glancing at Mr. Lucien and returning her gaze back to me.Wow!
Chapter 5Scarlett Wolff“What are you doing, Scarlett?” My heart beat stopped for a second, my eyes blinked as I stared at him, speechless.“Me?” I asked the dump question, straightening my back and thinking of the perfect answer to give him just so I won't look dumb before him.He stared at me straight, his eyes searching my face maybe for an answer, I had no idea.“Oh… I was just taking a walk, and I tripped. Yes, I tripped,” my heart echoed in my ear as I told him the unbelievably dumb lie because I knew I obviously looked and sounded dumb at that moment.He gave me a brief stare. It was obvious on his face that he didn't believe a thing of what I said, but he nodded, regardless.“You should get going then,” he went back inside, closing the door on my face, but I saw her. She was sitting on the bed as though she was ready for him. She was ready for him to come fuck her. Just the thought of it made my heart sting with anger and sadness.“Hmm… I should head back to my room,” my eyes
Chapter 6Scarlett WolffAre you alright?Lucien's worried face had welcomed me last night as I opened the door for him when he knocked. My scream was so loud while I was playing with myself that he heard me from his room. You can imagine the level of embarrassment I felt at that moment, but thankfully, I was able to brew a lie so quickly.My stomach grumbled angrily the moment I heard that woman's voice as she descended the staircase along with Lucien. She was fully dressed, so I guessed she would be leaving soon. Thank goodness.My heart fluttered when I set eyes on my charming fantasy, looking all hot in his black outfit. Gosh! The little part of his chest revealed made me hot in between my legs, the thought of running my fingers through his chest while drawing invisible lines on it made me wet down there.“Good morning, Scarlett,” the woman smiled at me broadly, her face looking bright like something good happened last night. Oh, yeah. Something good must've happened between them
Chapter 7Lucien Alessandro“Why would you bring me to your house when you knew nothing was going to happen between us?” Olivia, the lady I brought to the house, complained as I pulled over at the side of the road. “I have paid you for your service, so get out of my car while I'm being nice,” I didn't spare her a glance, my voice as cold as it could.“Are you kidding me?” She scoffed, making me turn to her this time.“Trust me, you don't want me to repeat what I just said,”“You are weird,” she rolled her eyes at me before stepping out of my car, slamming the door hard behind her. She wouldn't have gone scot-free with what she did, but thankfully, I wasn't in the mood for that.I pulled my car safe open, reaching for the pack of cigarettes and a lighter lying there. I took out a stick and lit it before putting it in my mouth, taking a long slow drag, my eyes closed in a momentary bliss, the only thing I could think of was Scarlett.“Scarlett!” Her name escaped my lips in a whisper, a
Chapter 8Scarlett WolffIt was another day to go to that boring school. A place that used to be fun for me, but what I found fun now was spending time with Lucien though he wasn't giving me the audience.I was just getting ready to leave for school when my phone started to ring, and I picked on the first ring when I saw that it was Alexa. She was still calling me despite the way I treated her yesterday. I needed to apologise to her later for being mean.“Hey, sweetheart. I'm coming over to your house. You don't have to drive to school, I will pick you up in my car,” I still haven't told her that I moved out of the house to stay with my dad's friend.“Let's meet in school, Alex. You don't have to pick me up,” I ended the call without giving her a chance to bombard me with questions, knowing that it was the next thing she would do.My chest tightened, and I bit my lip as the thought of Lucien crowded my mind. The way my heart stung when he rejected my food yesterday, the way he didn't
Chapter 9Lucien AlessandroThere is a problem at the casino, sir.I was just on my way out of Scarlett's school earlier when Vlad called and told me that. Who dared to cause trouble at my casino?The ride to the casino took about an hour, and once I drove into the compound, I pulled over at the garage and headed to the entrance door. I was welcomed inside by the loud buzzing music, the smell of alcohol and cigarettes, and the sight of people dancing, some sitting at a corner, sipping on drinks while feeding their eyes with whatever they found interesting. The stripper was also doing her business, entertaining everyone. It was a regular club thing. Yes, to the outside world, it was only a club, but there was more to it. Underground the popular club, was the biggest and most successful casino in the whole world, owned by Lucien Alessandro, the leader of the most notorious mafia family in America, El imperio de la sombra (the shadow empire).“Call your boss. I am not leaving here until
Chapter 10Scarlett WolffI'm closed from school now. I looked at the text I had sent to Mr. Lucien for the umpteenth time as I stood in front of the school gate, waiting for him to pick me up. A smile crept up my lips upon the thought of being in the same car as him yet again. The feeling was exciting.“Hey!” My excitement was soon cut short by Derek's annoying voice, and I rolled my eyes before turning to find him smiling at me like we were friends or we were close. For fuck's sake, can't he get the memo that I wasn't interested in him?“Hi!” I replied to him bluntly, turning my gaze from him.“Are you waiting for someone?” Just when I thought he was going to leave me the hell alone, he decided to talk again, demanding my attention which of course I didn't have a choice but to give it to him.“Is there a problem?” I raised an eyebrow.“Do you want me to drop you off at your place? We are heading the same way, after all,” he offered, and I rolled my eyes. If I needed a ride, I would
Chapter 11Location; casinoTime: 11pmLucien AlessandroI sat watching my boys as they carefully arranged the stack of crystal meth that had just been delivered a couple of hours ago before sending it out to our clients.“Everything is ready, boss,” Vlad turned to me and said once they were done arranging everything.“It's just your order now to send them out,” he added, and I reclined on the chair, crossing my legs.“Where is Jasper?” I asked instead, and they all looked at each other. They were about fifteen. Jasper wasn't amongst them.“Boss, Jasper complained he was sick. I think it's the hangover from last night. He went clubbing last night and got drunk,” Jasper's friend, Caspian, who was in his mid twenties, spoke up. Of course, I knew the bastard won't be here. He wouldn't dare. At least not after what he did.I turned to Vladimir and ordered. “Get me Jasper, Vlad,”“Yes, boss. I will do that,” he had turned to leave when I stopped him.“Make sure you bring him here at all co
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 46 Scarlett 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 goodne
Chapter 46 Derek I 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 burn
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
