Thank you for reading.❤️
SCARLETT “How’s your mother gum gum? She hasn’t come to see me in a while,” Dad says in a sad tone. I know how much he loves her and how unfair her treatment of him is but even if you state the obvious, he would still rationalise and come up with an excuse for her. That’s how much he loves her. “Mom’s fine, she’s just been very busy lately. I’m sure she’ll come as soon as her schedule frees up,” My heart clenches as I lie to him. I still asked her to join me before I left the house. Her response was: “It’s not me your father needs, it’s his freedom. When he gets out, I’ll still be here…hopefully.” Dad smiles wryly at me. “And Lexi, we only talk when I call the house, it would actually be nice if the three of you can come together someday. It gets lonely without my family sometimes.” My heart breaks at the pain in his voice. Ever since mom and Lexi had that fight about him, Lexi stopped visiting too. I take a minute to look at my father and I blink back the tears that pool in my
SCARLETT “Good afternoon Sir,” the receptionist greets him, bowing slightly. Trevor gives her a curt nod, his eyes over me. He's wearing a sharp blue three piece suit which is really rare for him. Perhaps he has some business at the company today. “Is there a problem?” Trevor asks the receptionist. “Not at all sir, it’s just that the CEO’s mistress wants to see him urgently and I’m trying to explain how things work to her,” the receptionist replies and I glare at her. Did she have to say that? Trevor’s eyes immediately grow a shade darker. He grabs my arm and pulls me to face him, looking me squarely in the eyes. “You’re his mistress?” His voice is cold, yet full of pain. The thought of amplifying that pain by agreeing comes to mind but that is not why I am here. “No,” I reply, yanking my hand from his grip. “Your uncle’s about to make a big mistake that may cost your company, that’s why I’m here.” “So why did she call you his mistress?” Trevor replies coldly, raising his voi
SCARLETT Damian’s Kitten, he knows Damian calls me kitten? “You know Damian?” “What if I do?” He says, looking at me calculatingly as he blocks my path. Both his exposed arms from the T-shirt he's wearing are covered with sleeve tattoos that disappear up his biceps. He’s not as muscular as Damian but he’s definitely fit, having more of an athletic build. He has dark sunglasses over his eyes and tiny short dreads on his head, wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. “If you know Damian, you must take me to him,” I reply, dusting myself and smoothing out my skirt. He gives me a weird look. “I must take you to him? Sounds pretty urgent. Tell me,” he walks closer to me, closing the gap between us. “What is so important that it can’t wait.” “It’s personal,” I reply, taking two steps back. For all I know Trevor probably sent him to keep an eye on me but if that was the case, would he let me out? But still I don’t trust him and I can’t tell him why I’m really here. “Then you’ll have t
DAMIAN “Lay a finger on her and lose your job.” If this stupid nephew of mine thinks he still gets to treat her as he pleases, let me educate him. “What is this Ethan?” I ask, locking eyes with the little kitten. Her gorgeous blue eyes look deep into my black ones before her gaze dips to my lips and I resist the urge to smirk at her. Her black leather skirt grips her lower body, showing off her seductive curves, her white crop top bulging at the chest from her soft mounds covered by a white blazer. “You have to hear this,” Ethan says, pulling back a seat for Scarlett who sits gracefully. I normally would let my team handle pitches that were not from major brands or big companies but since it involves my brother, I decided to hear the pitch myself. I know how hard he’s trying to get some momentum on his side, all of his secret meetings with the board members to oust me the first chance they get but I’ll always be one step ahead of him. It doesn’t mean I’ll sabotage this opport
DAMIAN“Of course not. I hired the best chemists and dermatologists to put this product together, it’s the best of the best, don’t listen to her,” he replies quite confidently before he shifts his attention to Scarlett.“I don’t know why you would come up with such lies and go to such lengths to discredit my work but be rest assured, you just put your degree in jeopardy and you can forget about getting any internship.”His tone is serious and finite and I shift my gaze to Scarlett who’s about to reply before the other lady cuts her off.
DAMIAN“So you won’t mind if I hire my own team to look into this stuff?” I say calmly, squinting my eyes at him. “And you should know, if it turns out she’s telling the truth, you’ll pay dearly for trying to rip us off cuz I’ll sue the hell out of your ass.”He gulps slowly, fear and worry coating his formerly cold eyes. “I’ll take my product somewhere else. I can see you’ve already made up your mind and you,” he points at Scarlett as he stands up. “You’ll pay for this, the internship isn’t the only thing you’ll lose, I promise you that. Let’s go Chloe.”
SCARLETTI wanted to say no to working for him. I barely even see him and he somehow clouds my thoughts. How would it be if I had to spend almost everyday in his presence? Not just as any random staff in his company but as his personal assistant, which means I get to do everything and go almost everywhere with him.I didn’t know if I would be able to control myself and not give into my intrusive thoughts of making out with him but when he mentioned Professor August’s threat, I knew I had no choice.It’s been three weeks of working with him and I haven’t given into it yet so I think I can handle it, no matter how hard
SCARLETTThe office suddenly feels too small and I want to run out and find the nearest convenient place to cry out the pain from my broken heart.Why would Damian do this to me? Why would he have sex with me when he knows he is married. Why did he flirt back and want to kiss me just now? Why has he always been there for me?I broke up with Trevor for cheating on me with Ashley and convinced myself that I hated Ashley for sleeping with my man but how am I any different now?Trevor was my boyfriend. Damian is married, legally bound to someone in the eyes
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
