Eric James Winslet
I cut the call and turned on the news channel. I was flabbergasted what I saw; what I heard took away my sight.I threw away my cell phone. This can't be true.
Slightly the door of the cabin opened," There she is, I am not going to leave her now, not at any cost."
Eric James Winslet Three days later"I am no one less, Mr. Winslet. This is Scarlett, not any other girl you are dealing with. Wait and watch now." Her words are still echoing in my ears.Three days have already passed and this was our last conversation. Since then I have kept a complete check on her health status.
Eric James WinsletThree days ago when she didn't react after that media interaction. I was wondering what she was up to?"I told you she will not sit silent." Mr. Anderson spoke while rubbing his head."Somewhere I was expecting the same." I retorted."Still you involved her in a meeting?" He asked me.
Eric James Winslet"Nothing. It just, I can't see my wife would be like that. So I took her here. I guess she is disturbed with all these." I said to Mr. Johnson while winking at her.She was confused with what I had said. To be honest, I didn't want to say that but I was not left with any other option.If we ignore everything, I was enjoying that astonished sight of her. For the last few days, it was very frustrating for me.
Eric James Winslet"If we come up with a new face, like legally making Scarlett, I mean Miss Miller, the head and a new face of your collaborated Industry." He muttered.An immediate smile graced her lips. So this was her plan."I don't understand anything." I was the first one to speak."The stocks will flaunt up knowing the new face representing you. She will be a perfect youth ambassador. It will also make a huge profit for you and me as well. I will invest if you agree to this. "
Eric James Winslet"You know what?" She giggled."What?" I uttered."If I will tell you why Mr. Thomson made me team head, you'll leave me right here." she started laughing making me fuming with anger again.So, I was so right about her. It was their plan. I will not leave her as well as Thomson.
Eric James WinsletSo, it's a long day. All surprises in a single day at one place. Daniel fulfilled her dreams by giving her the place she wanted but now she'll break his dreams by taking away the tender.I haven't left her with any choice. Too much fun, feeling bad for Daniel now.After an hourI reached t
Eric James WinsletAll of a sudden, I got a hold on my wrist and a voice," It was all easier to visit those memories of them than to ask them to stay a little longer. But please stay here, '' She said, sinking my heart away.I stood there like a cladding figure. She started moving towards her car which was a few steps away. I was confused by her actions."Isn
Scarlett MillerBefore I could say anything, my cell phone message tone buzzed.I saw the sender name Mr. Winslet and the rest left me in a sigh. It made me approve of his words before everyone."Evening plans, where?" Daniel and Carlos yelled together."Scarlett, you did not tell me?" Carlos said dramatically.
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
