TREVOR
“Stop crying Scarly…..remember what you once told me when dad called me a complete failure after my crypto start up failed? Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can never harm you. Come, let’s get your things and get out of here, I’ll give you a ride home,” I say to her, gently massaging her shoulders.
She shrugs me off. “Just go, leave me alone.”
If I had known dad would do as far as mentioning her father, I never would have switched the slides and sabotaged the presentation but I saw an opportunity to kill two stones with one bird and I took it.
SCARLETTTrevor must think he has me fooled with playing nice but if that’s his game, then two can play. The moment he said money has no value if you have to treat people poorly because of it, when he did the very same thing to me twice, it clicked.He is the one who switched the slides. He’s the only other person who saw it aside from me and Damian and he does have access to the office using his grandfather’s key card but openly confronting him is useless, he’ll just deny it and I’ll have no proof, so I decided to play nice and coy too.I don’t trust him. I never will. I still suspect he had something to
DAMIANThe company’s anniversary party is this weekend which means I either announce my marriage to Sharon or forfeit the chance to lead my family’s business into the next generation.The company lost a chance to secure a billion dollar deal that could have seen several more billions come through that same pipeline but none of these trouble my mind up to my fractured relationship with Scarlett.If it was easy to lie to myself before that all I felt was a passing attraction, a fleeting feeling of need for her body with no real desire for intimacy, I may be reconsidering my own words with how much I want to make things up with her.
SCARLETTIt’s the day of the company’s anniversary party and I should be getting ready but rather, I’m laying my head on Lexi’s lap, stretched out on the sofa and watching an old episode of Love Island.“Are you sure it’s a wise decision to skip the party? It’s a good networking opportunity for someone still young in their career,” Lexi says, running her fingers through my loose hair and tucking it behind my ear.“I just don’t feel like it,” I reply with a pout.I know today is the day Dam
SCARLETT“I’m not sure anyone can replicate the dress. It is definitely the real thing,” the lady says as the guards come to make way for me to the red carpet.“I’m Flora Dante, a fashion designer, critic and stylist. Your body absolutely brings out the elegance of this dress, if you’re interested, we can make a deal for you to model a few pieces of mine,” the lady says, standing in front of me as I pose for the cameras.Everyone of the photographers is yelling at her to get out of the way so they can take a picture of me.
DAMIANI lost it, my bloody self control. Pretending like I wasn’t attracted to her in any way was exhausting when every little movement she made tonight was fucking driving me crazy.If I thought she was beautiful before, then beauty needed a new definition because the word definitely doesn’t describe how she looks tonight.I pictured her in this dress when I bought it for her but the image before me is a far upgrade from anything my imagination could conjure.She wouldn’t let the words leave my lips so I gave in to the fucking feeling
SCARLETTI wasn’t going to trust Trevor and go to his room to clean up when I accidentally spilled water on myself, so I took a bend to the left wing of the house, heading downstairs when I saw a door slightly open.I briskly walk in and I slam the door shut. Only then, do I hear the shower running and see the clothes of a man littered everywhere but it’s the smell in the room that doesn’t make me run out immediately.Damian is the only one I know who smells this rich and manly and as upset as I am at him for kissing me out of nowhere and then asking me to marry him with a contract like I’m a piece of toy with no feelings,
TREVORI stand by the window of dad’s old room in the mansion on the east wing, observing the guests as they troop in in their numbers, every single one of them stepping out of one luxury car or the other.The door opens and I turn to see Dad and Sharon enter, smelling of sex. They probably just had a quick one in one of the rooms before coming here.It’s mom I feel bad for but as long as I keep Dad’s secret, I’ll always get triple my allowance which he had cut into half before.“Damian went off with that silly girl again,&r
SCARLETTYou know that feeling when you finally get something you’ve always wanted, that’s how it feels waking up in Damian’s hand the next morning.He clings to me tightly, his big and strong arms wrapped around me protectively in a spooning position and I’m well aware of something big and strong pressing against my back which makes my heart jump.I don’t know what it was about yesterday but it was the most amazing night of my life. I had no idea sex could be this amazing. I mean that first night, the desire wasn’t really mine and I just craved for that foreign appetite to be appeased but last night the desire was mine and I could feel everything.I wanted me and despite the state he was in, I want to think he wanted me too.Just thinking about how he made love to me last night with his cock pressing against my back is already turning me on. I turn back, still clutched in his arms and he has the most beautiful and peaceful face when he’s asleep. What will he think of me when he wak
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
