Thank you for reading.❤️
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
SCARLETTLexi’s voice keeps echoing in my head as I sit at my desk the next day..“What is your priority?”She wasn’t asking for me to answer her after I told her what happened yesterday, it was more for introspection and even if she had demanded an answer, I wouldn’t have had one for her but I think I do now.Damian never promised me anything. After that night together, he never really showed any interest in me or made any moves to show he wanted me, it’s just been me living in my own fantasy, a fantasy yesterda
SCARLETT“Thank you Scarlett,” Ethan says as I place the bottle of water he requested in front of him. He cracks the cover open and gulps it greedily, releasing a sigh as he drops it back on the table. “I needed that.”“I’m sure you did,” I give him a small smile. We’re all in Damian’s office. Ethan had requested for the water when he passed by my office.Damian has an angry pout on his lips, not paying attention to either of us as he flips through a document in front of him. I resist the urge to smile at how handsome this man is. He ju
DAMIANThe sweet flowery scent that the wind brings to my nose tells me it’s Scarlett coming towards me as I stare at the blue skies that mirror the colour of the vast ocean in front of me, reclining on the sun lounger, under an umbrella tucked firmly into the caramel beach sand that spans the expanse of the shore.I keep my eyes ahead, watching a few other guests surfing in the wave ahead. I have a glass of beer beside me and I smoothly toss my cigarette a few metres away.She hates it when I smoke and gets into a mood. I'd rather just avoid that today, although giving me cold shoulders has been her forte recently. She mistakes it for bein
SCARLETTI just don’t get him. I don’t understand him. What does he want from me? What exactly does he want me to do? Continue flirting with him and pretend like he’s not going to be cuffed by another woman soon?Does he know how fucking hard it is to be around him? To be around something you desire but you can’t fucking have because it’s not yours to have. It’s right there, begging for you to take it, clawing at your heart to make it yours but it’s not a move you can make because it will only leave you hurt.If I didn’t need this internship more th
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
