TREVOR
I 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.

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“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
SCARLETT I would never forgive a cheater. If you asked me two months ago, that would be my answer.Trevor has been my boyfriend for three years, the only man I’ve ever dated, but two months ago, he slept with my one, true, worst enemy and he claimed to be drunk and begged for my forgiveness.I was hurt, broken and devastated. I never thought I could ever forgive such a thing in my life. It’s the bottom line of a relationship, I know. If cheating is not the ultimate red flag, I don’t know what is.But the moment came and I couldn’t do it. My life will not be the same without him. He has been the centre of my life since forever, and I gave him my everything.So there, I made the worst decision in my life, I forced myself to nod when he begged. You can hardly pinpoint the moment where things went wrong in your life, but that was it for me. That moment was the exact point where my life fell apart.I stare blankly at the text I had just received from him, asking me to join him at his fa
SCARLETT“You asked for me,” With a cautious tone, I stick my head into Evelyn’s office, the manager of Milton Cafe. A few months ago I wouldn’t even look to this kind of low level cafe for my taste, and now I’m so grateful to even have a job in it.“Yeah,” She replies, not raising her head up from her laptop. “Scott called in sick, you’ll have to fill in for him tonight.”“What? No, I can’t,” I reply sharply, only to realize that counts as “talking back” under Evelyn’s stern glare.I’m learning to drop the “princess way” already, just not fast enough.Tomorrow is Thursday, the only day of the week I get to visit dad in prison. I prepared his favourite meal, and the thought of his happy face when he sees that is what’s been carrying me through my life nowadays.Pulling a night shift would make that impossible and I still have my final year thesis to work on. I am way behind on the school stuff and I need to catch up ASAP.Evelyn closes her laptop slowly, pushing down her glasses to gla
SCARLETTTrevor cocoons his arms around her, delicately observing her dress where the coffee had spilled. My heart feels uneasy at the way he looks at her. He knows me better than anyone. He should know I’m not one to start trouble and definitely not at my place of work. Even after the incident, I didn’t go after Ashley to create any trouble for her, she apologized on her own accord, even though I knew it wasn’t genuine.So why would he believe I spilled coffee on her just cause they’re having brunch?Trevor shifts his gaze to me and my heart sinks. I cannot believe it. The warm and soft glint his eyes had a second ago when he was looking at Ashley is gone, replaced by a cold and hard stare.“Apologize to her now,” He orders, raising his voice slightly, “it’s one thing to throw a tantrum with me, but you are above bullying my friend, Scar.”What? He’s not even going to ask for my own version of the story? He’s just going to believe her?“I’m not apologizing to her because that’s not
TREVORI slam deep into Ashley as she scratches my back, emptying my balls and I twitch repeatedly, going limp, before I roll off her.“That was awesome,” She says softly, adjusting herself and placing her head on my chest while she draws imaginary circles around my nipple.“Yeah,” I reply bluntly. Sex with Ashley is nothing compared to the kisses I get from Scarlett. Scarlett’s innocence is the most seductive thing about her and very soon, I will have her choking on my nuts.The thought alone makes me twitch. But Ash won’t allow me to have her. I didn’t think it would be a big deal, but now I regret stupidly following Ash’s order. I told Scar I wanted to wait for marriage, the worst is, she is into that idea too much. I have been trying to talk Scar into it for months now, but the thing is, you can’t really force Scarly to do anything she doesn’t want to do.“You’re thinking about her, aren’t you?” Ashley’s voice barraged into my thoughts.“Can you even hear yourself?” I counter. “
TREVORI lied. Her wish isn’t my fucking command. Ashley is totally messing up my plan and I’m so tired of the girl’s stupid jealousy games.Halie’s were doing this open mic thing, sort of like a competition for talents and the crowd decides the winners. I guess Scarlett is competing or something and one of the organizers, Ashley’s pal, found out and told her.If there’s one thing I dislike about Scarlett, it’s the fact that she is too stubborn and determined as fuck. After Ashley got her fired, which I still think is a dick move by the way, I offered to give her five hundred dollars allowance a month so she didn’t have to work, but in typical Scarlett fashion, she turned it down. Said she doesn’t want to depend on anyone but herself for her livelihood, but I just wish she wouldn’t be so stubborn so I can take care of her needs. Everything would be so easy if she can play the doll she is. Right now, I’m sitting at the far left corner of Haile’s public bar where the contest will b
SCARLETTI’m tired. I can’t keep doing this. I can’t keep doing this with Ashley. I thought she was just jealous of me but now it looks like she has a personal vendetta against me.My eyes flit to the crowd and there’s only one thing clear in the air, mockery. They don’t care about me, but why should they, and why should I care? I don’t need their pity.I yank my wig from Ashley and run down the stage, heading straight for the exit, but Ashley comes after me, screaming at the top of her voice.“I’m not done bitch! You better wait up.”I don’t stop, I don’t wait. I don’t have it in me anymore. Maybe it’s time I realize I’m no longer Scarlett Madden, I’m just Scarlett nobody. No matter how many times I stand up to her or try to put her in her place, she’s just going to keep coming for me and Trevor is always going to take her side and give another excuse for her and I’ll be forced to swallow it.Without thinking, I jump into the back seat of the first car that I see. The element of ri

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
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“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
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
