SCARLETT

What? Can he really do that?

No……he’s just saying anything to get me not to leave him. There’s no way Trevor would have been able to help dad all these while and he didn’t.

“Look, I know you don’t want me to leave you but I can’t keep doing this,” I reply, freely letting tears pour out of my eyes.

I thought I was big enough to forgive cheating. I don’t know if it’s worth it anymore.

“But this is not how I want to be loved and lying that you can help dad so I stay, that just goes to prove you don’t really care how I feel.”

He holds both my hands, forcing me to look into his eyes. I can see the regret and sadness in them, and it makes it so hard to fight the urge of hugging him, of melting in his arms and just forgiving all that has happened. But I can’t. I tried, and I failed miserably.

I remember Ashley’s text from yesterday and my resolve only strengthens.

BEFORE……NOW……FOREVER.

No, I can’t do it.

“I’m not lying…...I can help him. My family has ties with one of the creditor

    SCARLETTI stare at my reflection in the reflective windows inside the private waiting room the CEO’s secretary took me to when I got to the building.I have almost forgotten this feeling. The feeling of being someone important in society, treated with respect and courtesy.I’m wearing a knee length black pencil skirt with a small slit at the back and a pink shirt which is tucked into it, with a pair of black 4 inch heels. I had opted for no makeup but Lexi disagreed, so she beat my face with some light foundation and highlighters. I always prefer my natural look but Lexi knows how to work her magic to enhance it without doing too much.My black hair is rolled into a bun with several fancy pins at the base. Blue doe eyes staring back at me as I nervously twirl the content of the champagne glass I am holding.My heart continues to thud uncontrollably and I can feel my palms becoming sweaty, my small nude painted matte lips quivering slightly.I’m betting on him giving me a pass when h

    SCARLETTI left Mr. Icy glares office feeling clueless.I didn’t take on rescuing dad as such a complicated mission. I thought I studied business and that’s enough, but now I see, Dad has sheltered me from most of the dark reality of the business world.But what do I do now? Go to Trevor? Or just let the lawyers do what they can? They aren’t really giving us any hope, just the good old ‘we are doing our best.’I’m just so tired. Why does it feel like life is picking on me?The smell of the perfume that lingers on the hallway as I walk towards our apartment door makes me frown. It’s Mom. Can today get any worse?“I’ve been calling your phone young lady,” Mom says with a frown on her face as soon as I step into the living room.“Hi Lexi,” I reply, ignoring her and heading straight for the bedroom. If she thinks she can disappear and reappear into our lives at her own convenience and expect me to welcome her back with open arms, she has another thing coming.I let out a small hiss, tryin

    TREVOR“I got this awesome business idea guys. I think it’s going to work out this time,” I say to my little group of friends in the school cafeteria. Kenyon, Bradley and Asher. The only person missing from here is Scarlett. I miss her. I just wish there was an easy way to fix things but she’s just too damn stubborn. She’s even blocked me everywhere.I was hoping she’d call to ask if I would help her dad but she didn’t. I even heard she went to our company to try to get help. She’s so fucking stubborn.“Is it another crypto start up?” Bradley asks mockingly. “Wasn’t 500 million wasted in a year over that one?”“Or the crowdfunding idea,” Kenyon chuckles. “Let this whole business thing go, Man. We’re trust fund kids who don’t have to work. Give it a rest.”“I know what Scarly would say if she was here,” Asher adds. “Leave my baby alone, failures are a part of success in life. He’s a great businessman, he’s just in his budding stage.”“Yeah, she really gases him up,” Kenyon replies.Th

    SCARLETTI am not giving up, not until I am sure I have done everything humanly possible to try and save my papa bear. We went to visit him yesterday and the only thing my shameless mother could ask from him was if he had an account somewhere the creditors had no idea of.Apparently, the reason she returned is because she is broke, having exhausted the last penny of Dad’s foreign accounts. And since the source of income has frozen up, she has no money to support her expensive lifestyle in Paris.Mom is the last thing I have to bother about right now. I am currently headed to club Rehab to see Uncle Ethan, one of dad’s accounting consultants. Going through a list of dad’s business associates and checking his personal emails for any sort of useful information that could help me get a better understanding of the situation, I found he exchanged a lot of emails with Uncle Ethan and most of them had to do with money.I had been trying for days to book an appointment with him at his office

    SCARLETT “I believe the word you're looking for is thank you,” Damian says in a curt tone, spinning me slowly back to my feet and my arms fly around his neck to support myself.He chuckles lighty, his arms curling around my waist as he steadies me and I'm very aware of how soothing his soft and warm fingers feel against my cold and bare skin.“For someone yelling at me to let her go, you seem quite comfortable in my arms,” He says in a whispery voice, smirking at me.I pull away awkwardly, straightening my dress and keeping my eyes on my feet. There's something about this man that unsettles me.I don't know if it's because of his incredible good looks or the fact that his eyes suck me in in a way that keeps me transfixed on them.“Let me help you with that,” He says and without permission, he begins to adjust the string behind my shoulders where my hands can't reach.I freeze, not knowing how to react. Mr Icy glares himself is helping me adjust my dress? I know he is kind beneath his

    TREVOR“Slow down man, you’re gonna get wasted before the real fun even begins. I got some hot brazilian models on their way here,” Kenyon says, holding back the bottle of vodka as I’m about to pour my ninth or tenth glass, I’m not sure.I yank the bottle from his grip, ignoring the glass and chugging directly from the bottle. Wasted is exactly what I need to get. It’s the only reason I came to this damn club.No amount of calls, text, flowers and gifts I send to Scarly has been enough to get her to even soften up a bit. It’s like the harder I try, the harder she resents me.The only time she doesn’t fleet into my mind is when I’m high or drunk as fuck and even that is a lie, she’s still what I’m thinking about right now.I don’t understand why I am still so stuck up on her. I just can’t get her out of my thoughts. I find myself spending long hours watching our videos and pictures together, craving just a tiny moment in her presence but it’s like I don’t even exist to her anymore.Doe

    TREVORI stare at the pills Kenyon had given to me, contemplating deeply whether to do it or not. Scarlett is a lightweight on a normal day, giving her this aphrodisiac would definitely get her freaky and in the mood but I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do, she already hates me as it seems and she would never forgive me if she finds out what I did.“I don’t know if it’s the right thing man,” I reply, dropping the pills on the table and picking up my glass. Kenyon chuckles. “Stop being all sentimental and shit. Whether you like it or not, someone’s gonna pop her cherry, who knows? Could even be me,” He says with a taunting voice and I glare at him.I raise my head and glance at Scarlett who’s a couple of tables away. I can’t tell what exactly is going on but she appears to be in a heated conversation with that old man and he seems to be giving her a tough time.A surge of anger threatens to burst through my chest when I see him put his filthy hands on her thighs but she quickly

    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.
