Thank you for reading.❤️
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
SCARLETTRight now, I’m on my way to represent Dad at the Valleyview Annual Founders meeting. We were all shocked that we got invited because we weren’t expecting it, considering recent events.Mom declined to go, saying it was a waste of time but I know the real reason is because she’s no longer the queen of her group, just the wife of a man who was once a king.I plan to arrive at the meeting a little early on purpose so I can take a seat in the back. Trevor’s family is hosting and that means he could be here, I would rather not deal with him today.He keeps saying he wants to talk and make it up to me, calling me with different numbers that I am tired of blocking but every time I get on social media, a painful reminder of his deceit and betrayal slaps me in the face with how much Ashley and her cronies flaunt her relationship with Trevor.I already deleted everything about him from my social media and burnt every physical reminder of him around me, from pictures to clothes hi and ev
SCARLETT“Please have a seat Miss Scarlett, the old master will be down with you shortly,” the butler to Richard Cole, Trevor’s grandfather says.I spoke to Lexi about the mole dad talked about and apparently Dad didn’t have concrete evidence of it. It was only a hunch because when he and the lawyers were going through the files, he saw a lot of transactions that he didn’t authorise but his signature and the company’s seal were on them, which can only mean one thing, they were forged.His trial is only days away and I cannot bear to see him sentenced to prison for a long time because of something he didn’t do, so I am here to plead Dad’s case with Grandpa Richard, if he won’t give him a full pardon, at least just a little extension of the hearing date to buy us some more time.I thought of going to Damian at first but I don’t even know how to face him and he made it clear the last time that without proof, he wouldn’t help.I admire the living room just as one of the servants brings me
SCARLETTWhy can’t they just get it? Trevor and I are done. As much as I want to rip into her for calling me a whore, I cannot afford for her to create a scene.“I am not here for you or Trevor. I’m here for something way more important, so please ignore me and carry on with yourselves,” I reply airily.“Bitch, you don’t tell me what to do,” Ashley replies in spite.“Well then do what you want, just fucking leave me alone,” I reply, grabbing my purse and walking away from them when Ashley suddenly grabs me by my hair and slaps me hard across the face.My mind goes blank and the only thing I feel is rage. How dare her? I will not be her punching bag, not anymore. I raise my hand to slap her back when it’s caught mid air and Trevor steps between us, my hands firmly clutched in his.“Get a hold of yourself Scarlett, don’t create a scene here,” Trevor says in a low but commanding tone.I yank my hand away from him, feeling my cheek burn. He stood there when Ashley slapped and disrespected
SCARLETTGrandpa Richard turns to him. “Now’s not the time Damian, this silly girl desecrated your mother’s ash.”“Your wife,” Damian replies in a hostile tone, his eyes hard at his father. “That woman was no mother to me.”The two stare at each other coldly for some brief seconds before Ashley breaks the tension with her shrill voice. “We’re not trying to fool grandpa Uncle Da-”“I’m not your fucking uncle,” Damian scowls at Ashley and she shudders, moving behind Trevor for cover but he moves away from her, putting some distance between them.Damian fixes his intimidating gaze on Trevor and the confident boy I used to know who could look anyone in the eyes and say whatever, looks down. I don’t want to say it but it looks like Trevor fears him, even that day at the meeting when Damain just asked him to zip it, Trevor quietly obeyed.“The other day if I recall correctly, it was you hung up on her and not the other way round, so why would she want to hurt this….thing?” Damian asks Trev
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
