DAMIANScarlett has taken my calls in two days and she hasn’t replied to any of my texts and I’m very worried. I know she planned to spend the weekend with her aunt but she should at least have reached out to me.I know I may be overreacting but I already sent Dean over to check on her. Life with her is just so blissful it’s hard to imagine it without her in it.“Boss, her aunt said she left two days ago after getting a call that someone knew who framed her father and she hasn’t been able to reach her either,” Dean says the moment he takes my call.My head pounds, fearing the worst. I’ve had a team look into her dad’s case but it came back clean when they went through their documents. Is it possible they missed something?“Where are you now?”“I’m still with her.”“Put her on the phone,” I reply curtly.“Do you have any idea who called her?” I ask, feeling fear in my gut.“I don’t,” she replies, her voice breaking into a sob. “The call was from a restricted number and she was given an
SCARLETTI always thought Trevor was just impulsive and a mean jerk who hid his true self so well that I could not spot him from a mile away but it turns out that being a jerk is just another cover for how truly evil he is.What wrong did I ever do to him for him to hate me so much? When we were together, I gave him all of my love, I loved him unconditionally and truly and despite all the horrible things he has done to me over the months, I never wished death on him but he wants to connive with Ashley to kill me and Damian?“I don’t believe you, Trevor won’t do something like that, he may be mean but won't harm me, he won’t kill me,” I say frantically, feeling bile rise to my throat, holding back my tears. I can feel the fear beginning to encircle me.Ashley bends and leans forward, bringing her face close to mine with a fake sad pout on her lips. “Poor Scarly, do you think you matter to him anymore? You are nothing but his uncle’s plaything and the moment that asshole laid hands on
TREVORI took a life for her and I became a fugitive, living from hand to mouth and constantly evading capture but not anymore, I need to get out of this city for good.I didn’t want to kill Ashley that day, after I knocked her down to prevent her from shooting Scarlett, she was determined to still do it and while wrestling with her for the gun, I mistakenly pulled the trigger and she died on the spot.I became scared, I panicked and did the only thing I could do, bury her body and run for my life. The first few days were the hardest, having to rely on my boy scout skills and living in the open forest, feeding on fruits and nuts and weaving leaves and vines for shelter.For the last three months, I shaved my head bald, scarred my face and went to the one place they will never look for me in, the slums of the city, among the depraved and starved, the junkies and the homeless.I even got a job as a truck loader in an illegal factory that pays cash, just enough money for the smoke and b
SCARLETT“Don’t come here Damian! They’re planning to k-”One of the men smacks me so hard, I fear my neck may twist and the other one ends the video recording.Since Ashley left, they have been beating on me, taking turns in slapping and smacking me all over my face. My cheeks are swollen, I cannot see properly with one of my eyes as it is swollen, I can feel blood dripping down my cut lip and even my hearing feels scrambled.“I sent the video to the fucker, douse her with the gasoline while I set the charges,” One of the men says, taking out a pack that sis wrapped with duct tape out of his pocket and attaches an electronic device to it.
SCARLETTA flurry of emotions burst through my heart and rent my skin with goosebumps, filling me with so much joy and warmth, hearing those words come from him.He loves me, he just said he loves me.“I love you- Damian!” I yell, feeling heart pound with the most fear I have ever felt when he’s no longer responding.I can’t lose him, not now, not-“Damian! Wake up, wake up, please…” Another round of tears starts pouring forth from my eyes, my heart sprinting with fear, sorrow, pain and anguish, shaking his lifeless body in my arms.This is all my fa
SCARLETT“Congratulations Misses Cole, you are five weeks pregnant and your baby looks healthy and fine but I’ll write you a prescription for some vitamins and mineral supplements that will help,” the doctor says to me with a big grin.“Thank you,” I reply wryly, my eyes full of sadness. It’s not that I am not happy that I am going to be having a baby but who can be happy bringing a child into this world when the father of the child is tinkering on the brink of life and death.“My husband, how is he? Will he make it?”The doctor takes a deep breath and her smile vanishes. “We have done our best, it is between him and his maker now. It is already a miracle t
SCARLETT“We’re trying our best to find them. We found a pool of blood at the scene and after running tests, it matches the blood sample of Ashley Barnes. We have men stationed at every exit of the city and their pictures are on red alert at every airport, train station and seaport. Be rest assured, they will be brought to justice,” The chief of police says to me and Ethan in his office.It has been two weeks and Trevor and Ashley are yet to be found, Damian is still in a state of coma and the company’s lawyers are insisting that unless they get a written or spoken confession from Trevor or Ashley, dad’s case will continue in court.Everyday without Damian gets harder and harder, I have moved back to the mansion and I sleep in his
SCARLETTI walk straight towards him and give him a dirty resounding slap for almost killing me with such a prank before I plunge my lips into his, kissing him with reckless abandon, letting all my emotions flow through the kiss.The pain of these past few weeks, the pent up passion and desire for him, the relief to know he is alive and well, I kiss him with everything.He drops the bouquet, sliding his hands down my waist and squeezing my butt, pressing me into him as his tongue invades my mouth, engaging in a dance of passion and pleasure with my tongue. I let out a salacious moan as he sucks on my tongue and I feel his hard-on press against my thighs, I grab his head, plunging my tongue further into his mouth, loving how he is making me feel.
SCARLETT“Mommy huwwy, Bad wolf will catch us,” My two year old daughter, Carmela, drags my hand, giggling as we run into my room, looking for where to hide from the big bad wolf with red scarves tied on our backs.“Roar….I’ll get you,” Damian’s voice comes from under the stairs as his footsteps make heavy thudding noises.This is Carmela’s favourite game and Damian loves nothing more than to make her happy. If there is anyone that can compete with his love for me, it is the love he has for our kids.“They went into mom’s room dad,” Jayden, my annoying and beautiful five year old son yells at the top of his voice from their room which adjoins mine.“Jayden talk too much, now daddy will catch us,” Carmela makes an annoyed face.I smile at her, wondering why she took all of her dad’s features and barely any of mine, the black hair, deep black eyes, full and plump lips, his slightly wide nose and even at just two, the glare she has on her face is so similar to his icy one.“Quick, let’s
SCARLETTI slowly pick up the gun, pointing it at his forehead with my hands trembling. Hate, anger, frustration, all compounding and marauding my thoughts. The memories of everything he did to me, cheating on me with Ashley and humiliating me time and time again for her sake, conniving with her to use me to frame my father and send him to prison, an act that plunged my life into hell and then the verbal, emotional and physical abuse that followed.He doesn’t deserve my forgiveness, I don’t want to feel pity for him, even with the tears streaming down his eyes or with how genuine his words sound. This is Trevor, it could all still be an act to do something more evil but if he hadn’t been wicked and done those things to me, I never would have met my hero, my rock and my shield, my resting place.

SCARLETT“I demand half of all his cash and assets! I have been married to him for over twenty years, I deserve good compensation,” Dahlia yells at the top of her voice in Dad’s new mansion that he bought for him and his new sweetheart, my mama bear, Lexi.The moment dad got out of prison, I wasted no time in telling him the truth about Dahlia and the woman I now call mom, Lexi. Despite how much Lexi protested, I just could not stop myself. She has loved him for years, refusing to fully give herself to another man and yet she never made a move to snatch him from Dahlia.What kind of a daughter would I be if I just folded my hands and watch my father and mother continue to be betrayed and deceived by a vile woman like Dahlia.
DAMIAN“It’s good to have you back home Damian,” Ana says, smiling at me as I step into the house, feeling the welcoming sense of home, but it’s not the fucking building, it’s the gorgeous angel beside me because I know, anywhere she is will be fucking home to me.I spent the last month and a half at the hospital recuperating and the doctors only just discharged me today but I have to keep going in for weekly check ups for the next three months until my heart gets back to its full functioning capacity.Right now, I have a small tube somewhere in my chest and until I am fully healed and it is removed, I cannot be medically declared fit even though I feel no physical pain or discomfort and my body seems to be functioning properly.&n
DAMIAN“Happy birthday gum gum,” Her father says, stepping out from behind my egghead friend and in a flash, she’s gone from my hand which suddenly makes me feel empty as she rushes and hugs him, crying loudly in his arms.Yesterday, when I woke up, the doctors told me how lucky I was to have survived and that if she hadn’t brought me in when she did, I would have died and that even then, my survival was nothing short of a miracle.I know the only reason I survived was because of her, because I wanted to be with her, to hold her, to love her, to cherish and adore her, my beautiful angel, my sweet kitten.She was the first thing on my mind when I woke up yesterday and it took a l
