SCARLETT

I’ve had no luck so far with any of dad’s friends that I’ve tried to contact, even if the talk show is only about two weeks away from today. Some of them won’t reply to me, some blatantly refuse to see me and a few of them want us to meet in private but after what happened with uncle Ethan I know better.

I’m not giving up though, I’ll just keep trying and as for what I have to offer, Dad once told me how all top companies fight to hire the top graduates of the best business schools because of their potential.

I know I’m probably not going to top my class but my grades have greatly improved in my other courses except for corporate finance, for obvious reasons, and if I can secure those bonus points for it, whoever helps me and hires me will still be getting a gem in their hands with one of the best graduating students in the country as their staff.

It’s a win for them and a win for me.

    TREVORI don’t understand why she won’t just get it. We have a deal, one that I can no longer fucking get out of and I get that. I’ve pretty much already lost Scarlett, why lose the money too?Once she graduates and we have our secret wedding, I get her inheritance and she gets to marry the man of her dreams, everyone is happy but until then, we’re not getting intimate in any way, shape or form.Ashley’s sitting on the armrest of the couch that I’m reclined into, apologising for the upteent time while I’m smoking on a fat blunt with a bottle of half drunk whiskey in front of me.Her constant obsession with humiliating Scarlett no matter how much I take her side finally got the best of us. Dad completely cut off my allowance as a punishment for pissing grandpa off, knowing fully well that the old man is mad at him for what happened with the company.“Baby, please say something,” She says, stroking my arm.I glare at her hand and she slowly withdraws it.

    TREVORAshley looks between me and Chloe as she leaves my condo, her eyes asking the questions her lips wouldn’t dare utter. I shut the door behind her, sinking into the couch and letting out a deep sigh when Chloe picks up the bottle from the floor and sets it on the table before she picks up the remote control and turns the TV on.“Trouble in paradise?” She asks, lighting the blunt and taking a long drag before she passes it to me.Chloe and I have been friends since we were toddlers, we messed around as teenagers and gave each other our firsts but we quickly realised it was only a fleeting thing and decided to remain as friends and that’s how it’s been since then.“More like trouble in hell…that girl is the fucking devil,” I reply, puffing the joint.Chloe snickers. “You really know how to pick your bitches.”I frown at that, knowing exactly what she means, she’s never hidden her dislike for Scarlett. They’re always at loggerheads and shit. Scarlett really doesn’t mind her, she’s n

  • My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me   Chapter 37: An Invitation

    SCARLETT Sometimes I don’t get sports, just a bunch of people running around, putting themselves through rigorous physical exercise, always trying to get a ball to do something, whether it’s going past a goalkeeper, going over a line or into a basket. I’m watching Delia and her teammates’ soccer practice with a little more enthusiasm than normal because I’m finally getting a little understanding of the game, since Delia has explained it like a dozen times. Just like music helps me sometimes escape the world, that is what soccer does for Delia. She said it’s the only thing that makes her feel seen, where her being a shy girl who rarely talks to anyone doesn’t matter. When the ball is at her feet, she feels like she is truly free to express herself and her feet does all the talking her mouth never could. Delia passes the ball to a teammate and then runs ahead and her teammate plays it in between the legs of the opponent, giving the ball back to Delia, who dribbles past two defender

    SCARLETT One of the advantages of having mom around is that we are the same size and as much as we do not see eye to eye, she has boxes full of new clothes that I may or may not have borrowed for the party. The card didn’t carry a dress code but it carried a colour theme, white. I’m wearing a two piece corset top and pants, a pair of white heels on my feet, tiny silver hoop earrings on my ear and a tiny silver necklace sits on my neck, with heavy white bangles on my wrist. My makeup is pretty light, faint smoky shade around my eyes and some glitter and just gloss on my lips, my golden brown hair wrapped into a single bun. Delia on the other hand is wearing a white off shoulder modal gown that stops a few inches shy from her knees, with a thigh slit that runs a few inches high, accentuating her long, sexy and athletic legs. She lets her short sandy blonde hair down, barely grazing her shoulders and her face was beat to perfection by Lexi, the beautiful blend of contour and subtle

  • My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me   Chapter 39: Not His Little Wimp

    SCARLETT Trevor snaps his fingers and flicks it towards the security guards standing by the main entrance and two of them run to him. My chest rises and falls slowly, every breath slow and steady, ready to unleash my anger on him. I’ll never be a little wimp for his sake again. That’s what Damian called me right? A little wimp, well, never again. “Sir,” Both men say simultaneously, bowing slightly. “Take that woman and throw her out of this place, I don’t even want the smell of her here, you understand?” Trevor says and I’m about to fire back when I notice he’s pointing at Ashley and not me. Wait, what? He’s taking my side? He’s having her thrown out for me? As much as I want to deny it, there’s something that feels good, so good about what is happening but it doesn’t change anything. “Trevor! Trev- Get your filthy hands off me,” Ashley cries as the security guards grab her and start dragging her off. A couple of people had their cameras and that was going to be trending all over

    DAMIAN The little kitten will be the bane of my existence. I know I overreacted that day. I never should have called her a fucking slut, I don’t remotely think she is one. I mean I know I popped her cherry that night, if the blood stain on the sheets when I woke up to her gone the next morning wasn’t proof enough, the way she begged me to take it and take her the night before definitely is. Trevor may be an asshole like his excuse of a father but he’s still my fucking nephew and I just happened to have slept with his ex, it made me feel some type of way but when I saw the way he treated her at the masion the other day, that feeling fucking dissipated. I kind of want to gloat about it and break his little fucking heart. The worst part is I still remember every damn thing that happened that night between me and her. How fucking delicious she tasted, the way her eyes roll into the back of her head when she’s about to nut, her soft and succulent thighs, her ass was so fucking soft, I

    DAMIAN I dive straight into work when I get back to the office from the restaurant, immersing myself completely in it for hours, trying to distract myself but the unease refused to leave my chest and Scarlett refused to let my mind be. I had just wrapped up my last meeting of the day when I got a call from Gerard, a reminder that my old man wanted me to join him for dinner. I swear if he mentions getting married and settling down one more time to me at this dinner, I am going to flip. Apparently our blockhead shareholders think that as the CEO of a multibillion dollar conglomerate, I should be married with a wife and kids to give the public the perception that I am responsible. They didn’t think so when my elder brother mismanaged the company’s funds and almost dragged them into debt but for my timely intervention. They were literally begging me to come and handle things and now, after my team and I have set everything on a positive trajectory, they suddenly remember that I’m not m

    SCARLETT The D-day is finally here and I cannot be more nervous. I can say my degree more or less depends on Uncle Frazier showing up today. Although he promised, he hasn’t been taking my calls since yesterday and he won’t reply to my texts either. I just want to think he’s too busy to reply or call back but will definitely show up. The program started over an hour ago and everyone has already submitted the names of their invited guests, including me. The Dean just announced that even though all the invited guests will be acknowledged, only six of them will be keynote speakers, six that they will select themselves. I just hope that having one of the biggest law firms in the city can get Uncle Fraizer in. “Any luck?” Delia steps up beside me and asks. I shake my head, sinking into the chair beside me, outside the hall, when my phone beeps and the message from Uncle Frazier makes my heart sink in despair. [ Something came up last minute, can’t make it.] I stare blankly at the tex

    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.

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.
