Scarlett and her mother were in the living room, the news was on but neither of them was watching it. They were each lost in their own thoughts, desperately needing a way out of the trouble they had found themselves in.

Vivian felt heartbroken, still unable to believe that her husband cheated on her with his secretary. All these years, she had several relationships with other men, but she never knew the damage it caused to her family.

Scarlett, on the other hand, couldn't stop thinking about her uncle's betrayal. She felt abandoned by the only father figure she had, the one person she had trusted for as long as she could remember. She never expected this from him, and she was still confused about his reasons for all of it.

“Now arriving at the international art festival, it's handsome business tycoon, Adrian Heartfield!” The reporter on the television announced.

Scarlett and Vivian looked up at the same time, eager to see Adrian on TV. Scarlett smiled when he got out of his car, wavin

    The following night, Scarlett and Adrian met in a five-star restaurant as planned for their dinner date. Although Scarlett kept denying that she still had feelings for Adrian, she found herself getting all dolled up for him. “You look beautiful,” Adrian said softly as he sipped from the cocktail in front of him. “Oh.. thank you.” Scarlett blushed, pushing back her hair. She glanced at him and noticed his intense stare. It only made her cheeks burn, she had missed that look in his eyes, the look of sheer passion and devotion. The look that always made her feel warm and safe, she couldn't help the lump that formed in her throat but she swallowed it and blinked her sadness away.“I still remember the first time we met, your unwavering desire to get me to dump your mother.” Adrian chuckled and Scarlett smiled. She could remember it vividly.“Don't remind me of how much of a child I used to be.” She rolled her eyes. The waitress came with their orders and placed their different foods on

    Adrian was sitting in his study, going through his emails and sorting out orders when the door opened and Lydia walked in. She wore a bright smile as she clutched the tray containing Adrian's food in her hands. Adrian lifted his head to take a glance at who had entered his study only to discover that it was Lydia and what caught his attention more was the way she was dressed. She was wearing lingerie and a black, flared gown that stopped right below her butt. Her ass cheeks could easily be seen, and her cleavage exposed.“I brought your food, Adrian.” She put the tray down on his desk and then slowly walked over to him, her finger lingering on his arm and moving all the way to his chest. She stood behind him and lowered her head to kiss his ear, her hand sensually rubbing his chest and heavy arms. “You can eat me after eating your meal..” she whispered and bit his ear gently. Adrian sighed and shrugged her off, not showing any signs of arousal. This annoyed Lydia, but she wasn't g

    Everyone in the conference room was amazed and flabbergasted at Richard's confession. Richard was the company's trustee, a person who everyone in the firm looked up to. Hearing him say that, shattered a lot of hearts, especially Scarlett's.“Why did you do this? Are you happier!?” Scarlett scolded, her eyes red with tears and anger. Richard scoffed.“He thought he was some god! Like he was the king of the world and could do whatever he wanted. Gwen came to me, she wanted me! All I did was comply and my brother, your father thought he could just fire me and throw me to the streets!” Richard spat out, filled with rage as he recalled what happened years ago.“After he sent Gwen away with my child in her womb, I started hatching a plan to secretly take over everything he owns. Everything was going well, we were about to succeed after so many years!” He growled, biting his lip in spite. He had no regrets, neither did he seem remorseful of his actions. Gwen bowed her head in shame, sitting

    Six months later…Scarlett walked into the room and met Richard's gaze. He hadn't changed a bit— it's just been six months, she didn't know why she was expecting him to change. She sat down in front of him and they were both silent for a few minutes.“I heard you were sick.” She broke the silence, finding it hard to look at his face, considering everything he had done.“I don't need you to care, Scarlett.” Richard scoffed, also avoiding eye contact. Scarlett chuckled, “My question is not out of care, it's simply because I want to be sure that you're suffering in here, that's all you deserve.” “Just tell me why you're here.” Richard sounded pissed off. Scarlett could not deny the fact that she was still very hurt by her uncle's betrayal, the shock and the dark paint of it all were plastered on her heart and she couldn't get over it. It pained her that he was acting so nonchalant, he was indeed a great actor. He spent years pretending to care about it, he was indeed callous.“To see

    Scarlett and Lily were sitting on her broad canopy bed, putting on some make-up, and talking about the craziness of high school life. Lily had a hand over her mouth as she cackled at something funny Scarlett had said.“Fuck off, you're such a nut job, I’m not even going to lie.” She said and deep cackled again. She had a light moisturizer on her face. And with a part of the same face, she took a quiet view of Scarlett's room. Silently marveling at the realms of space, the warm wood tones, the wall-to-wall burgundy, and the carpeting that was like a cushion to the feet, everything was spick-and-span."I just wish we both got entry into the same college.""For real?" Scarlet asked as she began to rub her foundation on her face."Yeah, don't you?" Lily asked rhetorically."I mean, it would be an absolute pleasure to spend my college years in this exquisite apartment as opposed to some pitiful-looking condominium."Scarlett's smile was controlled as she said, “Of course, I'm missing you a

    Scarlett rolled on her bed in her nightgown from side to side, unable to sleep for many long minutes. The face of the guy at the club was still vivid in her mind. She couldn't think of anything else except his handsome face and broad chest with those piercing fingers of his that explored her core."Dammit, I should have asked for his number at least," she muttered, biting her lower lip.When she finally started to doze off around 3 in the morning, she had a wet dream of the guy at the club with his hands wrapped around her and pounding her ass from behind. Her hand found its way into her pants, and she started fingering herself, moaning softly from her sleep, when someone knocked on her door, immediately waking her."Madam Scarlett.” The voice called. It was Charlotte, one of their maids at home."Yes, Charlotte, what is it?” She asked in a half-drowsy voice, her hand still in her pants, rubbing herself.“Madam, your mother is around; she's asking for your presence in the sitting room

    Adrian’s chest and arms were wreathed with maps of sweat as he lay entwined, and on top of Vivian's naked body, he bit her breasts with his lip. As he increased the pace of his thrusts, her moans got louder and louder."Oh Adrian, oh baby, don't stop, don't stop, oh my God, I'm going to cum...fuck ah ah ah... I'm coming. I'm coming!”She was screaming until he began to feel her body vibrate beneath him, he felt the slimy, liquid sensation as she released her juices on the bed, he released too, and let out a liberating gasp.It was her third orgasm and his second; they both climaxed together, holding each other in this second round of tonight's sex. But when he lifted his head, he saw the image of Scarlett, Vivian’s Daughter, just behind the slightly opened bedroom door, peeping with her hand inside her pants. They locked eyes, which made her turn and leave in a rush. He rolled away from the top. Vivian had a confused look on his face. She had not noticed what had just happened; she wa

    Scarlet woke up with a rumbling feeling in her stomach. It occurred to her that she hadn't eaten anything last night. Immediately after her eyes locked with Adrian's last night, she rushed back into her room.She sat up again to reason. But had he really seen her? She couldn't help but doubt the implausibility of it, or perhaps it was just her imagining things. She got down from the bed and ambled out of her room, and in the hallway, she saw some of the maids strutting about busily. They greeted her, curtsying."Have you seen my mom this morning?” She asked one of them."Yes, madam, she left for a quick trip this morning.” The maid answered with both her hands brought loyally forward.Scarlett smirked; it wasn’t surprising to her anymore. Her mother was never around; she was always leaving, always heading somewhere.Which was the reason she preferred staying in the penthouse when she resumed college, even though the main house was just four hour's drive from it.The penthouse was her

    “I told you I don't wanna leave the house.” Scarlett whined as she made her way into the gallery with Lily beside her.“You need some fresh air. You need to be around things that make you happy, and that's art pieces. That's why I brought you here.” Lily answered. They walked further into the gallery and started to check out some of the exotic pieces. Even though Scarlett didn't want to come out at first, she started to feel peaceful as she admired the pieces. A visit to the gallery wasn't going to wipe off all the problems she had, but it would lift the burden for a 6 that was enough for her. She was still waiting for the DNA test results. That would be the solution to everything.“Hi Scarlett.” A familiar voice called, sending chills down Scarlett's spine. She took a moment before turning, her eyes meeting with the most beautiful pair of gray eyes she had ever seen. A strong scent of coffee and lavender invaded her nostrils, giving her a soothing feeling. She couldn't help but g

    Lily and Scarlett were sitting in the room, talking about the sudden changes that had occurred, especially about Gwen and Jacob when Lily realized how absent-minded Scarlett was.“Scarlett.” She called out, but there was no response, which pushed her to tap her shoulder. Scarlett flinched and released a long sigh.“Are you okay? Is it Jacob you're worried about?” Lily questioned, feeling sorry for her friend. “Unfortunately, that's not the only thing that is wrong in my life.” Scarlett answered, rubbing her tired eyes. Her voice carried some sort of weariness in them that captured Lily's attention.“What else?”“It's Adrian, I saw him yesterday night at the event I attended.” Lily's eyes widened. She had not heard anything about Adrian for the past three years now, and it's sounded like a miracle that Scarlett was mentioning him all of a sudden.“What was he doing there?”“Have you forgotten?” Scarlett scoffed. “He's a big business mogul. Of course, he'd attend events like that.” “

    Instinctively, Scarlett stepped back, getting rid of the idea of going to meet Adrian. This new lady of his seemed to cling onto him quite tightly and led him away to meet with a bunch of other people. Scarlett couldn't help but fume as she watched them, feeling the blood pumping through her veins. She tried to ignore them and make business connections like she had originally planned, but her eyes kept darting towards their direction.The girl Adrian was with was effortlessly beautiful, and Scarlett couldn't deny that. She was petite but possessed charming curves, which were even more accentuated by the dress she was putting on. Her hair was long, reaching to her waist, and she flung it about at every given opportunity.Scarlett couldn't take her eyes off them, especially because Adrian seemed happy with the girl. She hated to admit to herself that she was jealous.“Why would I be jealous? He's a liar, and I want nothing to do with him.” She scoffed, mumbling to herself.“Miss Davenp

    “What is the meaning of this Richard? Is this some sort of joke?” Vivian glared at the proud woman who was busy gloating behind Richard. She wished to wipe her smirk off with a punch.“I'm afraid it's not a joke. Jacob here is your father's heir, his only son.” Richard answered and the young man nodded. He was only two years younger than Scarlett, but his face was smooth as a baby's behind, with a nerdy look. “Uncle can you please stop it!? My father had no son and we all know this. I am his only child. I just graduated so this is not the kind of news I should be coming back to.” Scarlett sighed, trying to blow it off as a joke. Perhaps, her uncle was just playing a prank on them.“Whether you choose to believe it or not does not change anything. Jacob is your father's son, Mr Davenport was my lover.” Gwen spoke up, her tongue sharp and voice laced with hate as she glared at Scarlett.“Who the fuck do you think you are to talk to my daughter!?” Vivian lashed out immediately, glaring
