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
DAMIANI'm not a big fan of the night life, I'd rather spend my nights in solitude, mostly in the comfort of my home but when money calls, you answer.Ever since I got back into town, Wayne has been on about investing in his nightclub. The Rudolphs and my family have been in business for decades but Wayne and I are the new generation.Rather than pine for the wealth of the older generation, we decided to carve our own path to wealth, I found my path in Business and Investments, he found his in catering to the desires of people and getting paid for it.I was surprised when Scarlett introduced herself as Liana the other day in my office. I know Wayne has two kid sisters, Liana and Elsa but they were toddlers when I last saw them.If we hadn't met before then, I would have believed her. Scarlett…….the little kitten is an interesting one.“So what do you think man, are we doing this?” Wayne asks, bringing my attention back to him and Ethan.“What do you think?” I ask Ethan, picking up my
DAMIANMy angry gaze falls on the asshole and he adjusts himself quickly.“This is not what it looks like, she-”My clenched fists connect hard with his cheek before he can finish the trash he has to say and his teeth flies out with his blood smearing my shirt but I don’t fucking care.How dare he lay his filthy hands on her?My eyes go blind with rage and every pumping of my heart seems to send anger and not blood through my veins. The fucker recoils and makes the worse decision of trying to fight me.I evade his weak punch and punch him hard in his stomach. He groans in pain, clutching his stomach but that doesn’t make me stop. I glance at the little kitten slumped to the ground, barely conscious. The fear in her eyes fuels my anger even more and my entire body vibrates in rage.I grab the fucker by his head and smash it against the vanity mirror causing more blood to spill everywhere and the shards go flying.“What did you do to her?!” I yell.“I-”“Answer me!” I smash his head agai
SCARLETTI’m sitting at the visitor’s area, watching other families visiting their loved ones in prison while I wait for Dad to arrive.I still can’t believe I am no longer a virgin. I know it’s normal for people my age to have sex and it’s not really a big deal but after waiting three years in my last relationship only to lose it to a cold yet hot and handsome stranger like Damian in a flash, it just feels….I don’t even know the word for it.I mean this wasn’t the plan, the plan was to give it to someone I absolutely love and adore, who feels the same way about me. I wonder if Damian can fall in love with a girl like me though.I mean he’s like the undisputed king of the city and I’m just Scarlett Madden whose father is in prison. What am I even thinking? I can’t fall in love with someone like Damian, he’s just too cold and not even sweet or charming. I wonder what I took that night to make me come onto him that strongly.“Earth to Scarlett,” I hear dad’s voice before I sense his hand
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.
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.&n
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
