Scarlett MillerScarlett, please stop this all for a while. I have only you. I can't afford to lose you, my love." She was also crying along with me.Just then my cell phone started ringing. I saw the caller ID. It was an unknown number. I choose to ignore it.It started ringing once again, this time the number was not showing but it was written 'Private Number' on the screen.A layer of sweat covered my palms and forehead.&nbs
Scarlett Miller"Do you trust me, Eric?" I asked.I don't know what he was thinking but he said," Somewhere yes, I started doing Scarlett, but don't think to break it. This time if you do anything. Then don't expect mercy from my side too.""I will not. But if I ever break then that will be my helplessness only. Will you forgive me?" I said in a low tone."Have you done anything?" He asked me worriedly
Eric James WinsletAfter a few minutes of tasting her lips, I released her. Though, I was still holding her face, "Scarlett, I don't intend to hurt you at your mom's part. " and stepped back.She was still registering what I had done. It's the second time she was licking her lips again," One more time you lick, I will kiss you again" I said and she blushed."You can ask for a simple apology in the morning rather than all these." She stammered..

Eric James WinsletA drop of water fell on her back, she came back to reality. Was it drizzling there? She was about to move when I dragged her towards my car and made me sit beside my protest."Scarlett, earlier our families were friends, now you have gifted them enmity. Earlier it was a relationship between family inquiry but now this is a relationship between rivals. I will make sure the journey will be fun with you." I winked. Before she could have given a thought about that I added, "This time there are no rules Scarlett. I will make sure to m

So chill.", Mr. Anderson said, making me remember our conversation yesterday."Eric, I must say you will be one happy married man with stocks, shares, and a beautiful lady beside you," Dad said while cheering us.
Eric James WinsletShe had pulled the last string and I pulled her as close as it could be. She stiffened at my touch. She tried to get away and removed my hands. But I tightened my grip just to whisper"And why were you not answering my calls Scarlett Anderson?" and her breath caught in her throat. I was enjoying that beautiful sight.She composed herself and confidently sai
Eric James WinsletI caught her arms, lifted them, and pressed them against the wall. My lips parted in a smile, "If you will start, I will end this in my way."She smirked and gave me a challenging look. I brought my hands to her face, cupping her cheeks, and tilted her up to me.My fingers threaded through her hair, holding her still as I lifted her lips, met her gaze and smiled before taking her mouth again in a long lavish stroke. Again and again, I did the same.After a while, she made a faint sound, "Please." Her tone was very low.
Scarlett Miller's POV After two months "Miss Miller, to the time you won't pay the bills. We can't continue the treatment." A voice broke the train of my thoughts. "Bills? But I have cleared them a week ago." I was baffled by the sudden endorsement. "Yes! You did. But it was of last month. This month needs a clearance right away." She sternly replied while forwarding the papers in my hand. I certainly opened them right away. "$20 million." I whispered and traced the figure. By no means Its possible to clear the whole debt. My lips were trembling and tears were flowing through my eyes. "Now what will happen? How will I manage to do this?" I turned back to the glass door and saw a man lying between the tubes and machines in the bed. How merciless life can be. I was taught this in these last two months. There was not a single day that I had slept peacefull
Scarlett Miller's POVKeep your voice down when you talk to my daughter." I heard a loud voice behind me. I sighed when I saw mom and dad standing there. I ran in her direction and hugged her tightly.It was the time when tears didn't stop falling from my eyes. Dad wiped my tears from the back of his palm.Then he hugged me tightly. Before today I never felt such relief while having them beside me. These people have mentally tortured me."Now you get ready for all the consequences." My dad spoke while caressing my hair."Dad," I shooked my head to stop him. He took my hand in his and dragged me inside where everyone was standing then.I saw mom was also following us. But this time I knew if they try to do something. They are going to get an equal and passionate reply.Andrew came in my dad's direction and stood besides him."Calm down uncle." He started but dad showed him his palm."Since last fifteen minutes me and
Scarlett Miller's POV"Don't worry. Let me call Daniel." And without listening to me once she hung up the call."Your fear is right. Something worst is going to happen." I heard a voice from behind me.I turned around to see Jenna standing there. I was baffled after seeing her like this. But she moved towards me unhesitatingly."How are you?" She came and kept her hand around my cheek.The wind was harshly blowing and it was making trees rustle. A cold breeze stirred my hair at that moment. I closed my eyes to feel that freshness on my skin."I am alright." When my eyes didn't match my words. She frowned at me."Come here." She extended her hand in my direction.I was baffled at first and when she encouraged me to do. I did.She took me to the benches there under the green shield. Both of us sat there. For a while, there was complete silence. Nothing came out of my mouth so as her. But I was truly enjoying the solace.
Scarlett Miller's POVHow do I forget always, you don't know how to stay in a family?" He stopped.My breath was hitched. I was really wishing that he couldn't speak something stupid."For that, you need to have one. A person who lived in a broken family. How do they understand their value?" He didn't fling at those words which he was speaking."What did you say?" For a second I thought, I was misunderstanding him.I was always told that not everything's perfect. I knew that. And I knew it's all right to have a little bit of regret every once in a while. Because I was regretting every bit of standing at this place. I was regretting being in someone's life who didn't worth it."Why are you so astonished?" Grandma came forward while breaking the chains of my thoughts."When it's between him and me. I don't appreciate anyone's interference." I sternly replied."What do you mean interference? I am his grandma. I have full right t
Scarlett Miller's POVI looked at the screen and sighed. A pair of eyes were throwing daggers in my direction. I turned around looking at him."Scarlett, aren't you too naive or maybe stupid as well?" He said those words all of a sudden while making me all confused."What do you mean by that?" I asked him."Nothing. Grandma might be waiting for us. Come." He uttered.I didn't move initially I was hesitant to say that I didn't want to come there and face all of them already.When I didn't move he looked at me amusingly, "What happened?" He frowned at me.I ignored him and walked towards the bed. I sat on the edge of it."I don't want to come downstairs." I simply said.With that, I flopped onto the bed on my stomach and felt a little relaxed. I didn't want to lie down but I was just hungry and tired at the moment."What's this now?" He came forward and pulled my arm to make me sit.I was fondling with my finge
Scarlett Miller's POVThe sound of water pouring on the roof woke me up. It was raining again, a slanting gray sky was visible. I very carefully levered up an eyelid and shut it again fast.I buried my head under the darkness of the pillow and pretended it was night. Although it was not. I couldn't see the point of getting up. I truly had nothing to look forward to.After few minutes I got up feeling sluggish and tired. I tried to stand up from the bed, that's when I felt a sharp shooting pain. My head was throbbing.I stood up looking out of the window with a dark and harsh taste of wine still in my mouth. I was feeling dizzy and drowsy.When I saw out of the window, memories of last night manifested slowly from the back of my mind."For now I don't want anything. The only thing I want is 'you'. Then be it for a night "I remembered those words. Oh no! What the hell I have done more? I covered my face with my palms.Every new de
Eric James Winslet's POV"Let's play a game. Tonight let's prove each other. Only you and me. Forget everything!" I said that while kissing the corners of her lips.It was the only way left now. If I wanted to keep her by my side, then it's the only way. I tried everything, but I think now this is the last resort otherwise she will be away from me tomorrow.I know she thinks it's lust, then let it be. But this time I am very selfish to even let her go. No matter what, it takes me to stop her."Eric," she tried to move away.I traced my fingers at the outline of her face. She closed her eyes and was biting her lips to stop any sound from her mouth."Are you in?" I whispered in her ear.She opened her eyes instantly, there were hints of fear in her eyes. But she smirked, "Let's see." I was bending down but she pushed me a little. "Not here."Her fingers rubbed my lower lips. "Let's go." She signaled towards the room.I
Scarlett Miller's POVWhen she didn't reply, I gestured to her that I will still speak. "But this man, your grandson wanted me. Let me correct myself wanted to get the shares of my dad's company. Contract marriage, you know?""Contract marriage?" She prompted.Steady and loud footsteps came in my direction. I knew who the person can be. But trust me, I bother less."Scarlett, What are you saying?" Grandpa was the first one to come out of this shock."Grandpa let me...," Eric tried to intervene but he cut him off in between. "No! Let me talk to her." He didn't look in his direction but moved towards me.Apparently, I didn't want him to know about everything like this. But they didn't have left any choice for me."Is it true?" He waited for me to speak. I looked at Eric who was throwing daggers and his eyes were warning me about all the consequences."What?" I tried to act innocent. Although, I was well aware that it isn't possible
Scarlett Miller's POV"You know sometimes I think." I was hesitant, "The only thing that stops you from getting away from me is..." I looked everywhere but at him."Is?" He said in a husking tone."Is lust. I may feel for you. But as you made it clear you don't feel for me. Then this only means lust." I signaled him towards his hands."Lust? Seriously Scarlett?" He looked at me with accusing eyes."I said what I felt," I tried to sound as calm as I could."Fantastic," He rubbed his chin and looked at me."I didn't say anything wrong. Did I?" I asked."Enough!" In one moment, I collided against his chest as he took hold of my arms and pulled ne against him angrily."Stop this. Stop this nonsense. Do you understand?" He tightened his hold as he yelled angrily."Or what?" I retorted. I knew I was triggering him."Don't disregard our relationship. " He sneered as he shoved me towards the entrance."Relat
