She was so worried that she was about to cry. Thin sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Hmm?" Seeing her angst, Everett bent over and put his ear closer to her lips.

Though half-conscious, Scarlett found her senses enhanced when his handsome face got close.

She pasted her eyes on Everett like a cheetah staring at her prey, lining the sharp curves of his delicious ear, his hard-carved temple, and his firm jaw with her greedy eyes.

Craving the power flowing under his smooth skin, all Scarlett could think of was how it would taste if she could just reach up a little further and take that ear into her mouth.

"They...have...AIDS..." Scarlett breathed into his ear, and this time Everett heard her.

Darkness clouded his eyes as he frowned deeply.

"Edward, keep them alive," Everett said as he picked Scarlett up into his arms princess style, heading out of the room, "Careful. They might have AIDS."

Edward was Everett's secretary, his first mate, and the best assistant in both his personal life and his business empire. Everywhere Everett went, there was Edward. Scarlett was actually a bit shocked that Everett didn't have Edward with him last life when he came to rescue her after the car accident.

Everett took Scarlett into the room across the hall.

Turning her head slightly, Scarlett stuck her nose into his chest. The man's masculine smell surprisingly soothed her.

Maybe it was because he smelt like pine trees after rain, or maybe it was because the drug was so strong that any man would smell good to her right now. For whatever reason, surrounded by his smell, Scarlett finally loosened up after the door separated them from the rest of the painful world.

She hadn't felt so safe like she felt now for years.

"You were drugged," Put her into bed, Everett said when he noticed her watery deer eyes were following him around like a scared little animal.

"Why..." Scarlett frowned, murmuring.

Why did you save me? Even being saved by him right now, she had a hard time believing it.

He was the ONE guy that Wyatt hated yet couldn't beat last life even with Scarlett's help, and Scarlett had been nothing but horrible to him.

Everett frowned at her question, seemingly annoyed.

His eye darkened for a second before he unfurrowed his eyebrows and said with a poker face: "This kind of dirty work can't happen in my club."

The most luxurious club in the city was his property?! Scarlett didn't know that. In all the rumors spreading about him, he had always been the useless illegitimate son, a bloodsucker lusting after the family wealth his mom stole from another family.

He grabbed her wrist with a resigned sigh as if dealing with a naughty child, and only then did Scarlett realize she was stroking his Adam's apple with her fingertip, feeling the thumping flow of blood under there.

He stood up the next second and turned to leave. Panic rose in Scarlett at that move, and she rose her finger and hooked his belt.

He stopped and looked down at her finger before his icy blue eyes darted higher and bumped into hers.

Never before had Scarlett noticed how his eyes looked like icebergs under the moonlight. It was as if in those eyes contained the whole Milky Way.

"...you are safe now." Everett didn't sit down, but just squeezed out those four words in a stiff way as if it took a huge effort out of him.

He interpreted her action as fear when she had only a million questions in her mind, and none of them was doubting whether she was still in danger.

Scarlett frowned. Why wasn't he acting according to the script?! Didn't he "rape" her last life?! Not that she wanted to be raped, but what was with his suddenly restrained style?!

What the hell happened last life?!

She knew it was him who had sex with her, because she didn't know who it was until Wyatt took her for an amniocentesis to prove Everett's "crime".

That led to the peak of her hatred toward Everett and Wyatt driving the car over Everett which put Everett in his wheelchair.

Everett turned away again.

"Don't leave..." Scarlett gripped the nip of his belt under her fingers, the torment of the unsatisfied craving and fear rooted deeply in her soul brimmed her huge deer eyes with tears.

She wanted his body! Scarlett realized that with desperation, not sure whether it was because of what happened in her last life, or just because of the drug.

He turned around. Suddenly gripped his fist so hard that his arms were shaking.

Scarlett flinched back at his sudden anger but it was too late--

Everett jumped onto her like a loosened beast, his huge hand wrapped around her fragile jaw, stroking his thumb across her lips with a trembling finger. His head bent over her with his lips inches away from hers, and his icy eyes nailed on her like two sharp knives, cutting deep into her soul.

She was totally wrong before when she thought of him as her prey-- THIS, was how you stare at your prey properly.

"You don't want to play with fire...woman!" With a deep frown, Everett squeezed those words out of his clenched teeth, his eyes shaking as if he was suppressing great pain.

His saving her in her last life was still so vivid that Scarlett forgot this man was the fearful devil that no one dares to cross in the city!

Fear grasped Scarlett, but after her miserable last life, nothing scared her more than Wyatt and Laura's dirty hearts now, the least of all the cold face of Everett Dunn.

"You did it last time..." Scarlett murmured in a wronged tone, no longer thinking straight. She just wanted to know what happened to her last time. If it didn't happen this time, would it change everything?

Did the Everett Dunn in her new life hate her?

Or maybe he only saved her in her last life because he felt guilty raping her?!

Her mind a total mush, Scarlett found in desperation that even after living twice, she still understands so little of her life, AND this man.

Before she could drift further in her twirling thoughts, a hard stick pressed her soft abdomen. A slight, surprised gasp escaped Scarlett when she realized what that was. She darted her eyes upwards, seeing a scene she didn't think she ever would in both her lives--

Everett Dunn, the ice man, the sexiest bachelor in the city that all women want a taste of...

Blushed.

She only felt his finger's soft stroke over her lips, but it was now she felt his whole body stiffen like a rock. His throat rolled with a slight shiver, and his breath was messy. In his glaring eyes, Scarlett saw tremendous inhibition indicating obvious lust after her.

Then it hit Scarlett --

He didn't "rape" her last life! He had sex with her, very likely because she begged that out of him last time!

She should have apologized and let her life go a different path. Or just stay mute and let him leave, saving both him and herself a world of pain.

But she didn't do either.

She reached up her swan-like neck and nipped his lips.

    Scarlett didn't know when she fell asleep or how. She wouldn't if she could because Wyatt and Laura's ugly twisted faces were haunting her even in her deepest sleep. She was trapped again in the fire that consumed her life. Blood tears trailed down her cheeks as cold blue dead bodies surrounded her -- her grandfather, her parents... Everett Dunn. She shouted at the top of her lungs but her cry did nothing to prevent the deaths of the people that lost their lives loving her! She couldn't help them, because she was the one stupid enough to love the devil dressed in human skin-- "Wyatt...Wyatt...Wyatt Morison!!!"

Taking deep breaths, she fell back into bed, exhausted from the nightmare that haunted her through the night. For whatever

    Even if Laura could prove that she did take Scarlett to room 605, and successfully ruin Scarlett's name, it would be easy to pin the three guys hiding in there on Laura because she just admitted to her involvement! Scarlett had several plans prepared, none of them involving Laura being so stupid. Now she only needed to use the simplest one-- Turned and looked at the number on the door with a perfect smile, Scarlett then turned to the media with a sweet smile: "You must remember wrong, dear sister. I could barely walk when you took me here, so how can I move to another room?" "You esca-- you left the room I got you!" Laura opened her eyes wide, "Why did you leave? Were you raped last night?! You can tell us, baby girl, we are here for you!" Wyatt's eyes shrank in shock when he heard the word "raped", and Scarlett didn't miss that. She knew he couldn't stand her being "stained", but Scarlett didn't think it would be that obvious -- and now knowing what kind of a man he was, Scarlet

    "I'm sorry?" Scarlett frowned lightly, annoyed that she let Everett take up all her mind. "I told you to start from 11:05 pm!" Laura urged the manager, who just stood there firmly, looking at Scarlett as if waiting for her approval. "May I start?" The manager asked Scarlett again. His obvious respect for Scarlett over Laura put Laura's back up. Scarlett curved her lips a little, butterflies rampaged in her heart when a thought came into her mind -- did Everett send the manager to help her? "Hmm, not yet, thanks." Scarlett shook her head as she looked around the media Laura allowed in, "Are you sure they need to be in here, Laura?" Scarlett asked Laura with a worried look, as if afraid of what was on the footage. "I know you are timid in front of cameras," Laura said, tucking Scarlett's shoulder like a caring big sister, "but you don't want them to report only half of the story and drag your name through the mud, do you?

    Something felt different about Scarlett, and that rose an unexplainable fear in Laura as she stared at Scarlett, trying to figure out what it was. Scarlett used to be like lilies, beautiful in a quiet way, always gentle and kind, and tender at all small nuances that might "hurt" Laura and Wyatt. For example, their parents never even knew that Scarlett's debut design was published at first shot by the top design magazine -- Laura simply indicated that their mom had always been hard on her grade, and Scarlett submitted her design under a nickname on the next day. And now? She was like a rose, blooming with blinding light shining under the sun with thorns hurting everyone who dares to touch her. The Scarlett Laura knew would never hide so much fire powder in her words that would put Laura in such an awkward position! Though Scarlett spoke still in a mild tone, it was indicated that Laura was being unreasonable with a leap of conclusion, only to hide her own fault. And Laura couldn't

Scarlett's mother has never worked a day in her life, and most of her time she spent in their Eden-like house, taking care of the flowers, doing her art...being the queen her husband spoiled her into. Scarlett's eye-corners turned red when after two horrible years, Scarlett finally saw her beloved home with her own eyes again. God knows how many times she had cried herself to sleep holding the yellowing photo of her family smiling in front of this house. Her father, her mother, herself, Laura...and-- "Yo, heard that you had a wild night, sis!" A sunny voice rose behind Scarlett, and before she could turn around, a huge hand grabbed her and then tucked her shoulders from behind. "Dylan!" Scarlett turned and buried her face into her little brother's chest. Tears burst out of her like a fountain. It was like her parents opened some magical gate after they adopted Laura, and apparently, things got easier when the press

    When Scarlett arrived at Night Knight, Evelyn was already at the gate, waiting for her. The most luxurious club in the city was just waking up under the sky, like a beast that hunts in the night. "Let me guess, Night Knight is now your citadel, huh?" Evelyn smirked at Scarlett, squinting her nose teasingly, "After all, this is where your love of life announced your engagement." Wyatt lured Scarlett here the night before with the excuse of "announcing the good news in front of my friends". He knew how much Scarlett wanted that. He rarely let Scarlett meet his friends. In her last life, Scarlett comforted herself thinking it was because Wyatt was just shy. How stupid she was. He just didn't think her worthy enough to stand by his side, so it never occurred to him to "announce his territory" with Scarlett. "Hmm...sure!" Scarlett grinned at her best friend. She hated this club in her last life, and she had never stepped into it again thinking this place ruined her life. But it sudden

    Lucas was the first to snap out of the shock as he jumped up and shouted at the securities. "Wait!..." Scarlett panicked as two black suits came right up and took her by her arms. She struggled as she shouted at Everett who just sit there as if watching an amusing show, "I'm here to talk to you! Please!" Everett cocked an eyebrow at her last word, looking genuinely surprised. That WAS the one word she had never said to him. "Don't touch her," Everett's cold voice rose, his tone lazy and teasing, "...I'm not thirsty for wine today." His voice wasn't loud as Lucas's shout, but it obviously worked better. The two bodyguards let Scarlett go instantly, but still stood between her and Everett, staring at her as if worried she would harm their boss the next second. Now Scarlett remembered why she threw her wine at Everett last time, and her face heated up awkwardly. On the party, Wyatt got into a single-sided fight with Everett for reasons Scarlett didn't know.

So even knowing that he would harm you, you still want to be with him?! Scarlett's words rose a heavy storm behind the man's hurt eyes, like a bitter knife cutting on his throat."What do you see?"

    "What the fuck?!" Wyatt shouted, crawling back to his feet in haste, his eyes ashamed red. He covered his nose with a horrified look, blood dripped through his fingers. His three friends instantly stood up and came between Wyatt and Everett, who was now turning his shoulder slightly with an evil smirk."Wait a minute!" Scarlett hurried up as well, knowing full well how these guys were.They bully, for a living."Are you seriously taking his side right now?!" With disbelief and anger in his eyes, Wyatt roared at Scarlett from behind one of his muscles, blood dripping off his nose "The bastard hit me! Did you see that!? He's savage!""To be fair," Everett rose a finger tauntingly, though the smirk didn't reach his eyes, "you touched me first. It was just self-defense.""Defense against what?!" Wyatt opened his eyes wide in anger, "I only patted you on the shoulder!""I was afraid you were gonna do something to me for scaring your fiancee," Everett shrugged with an annoying grin, "isn't

    "Is that...?" Charlie looked worried, darting his eyes between Wyatt and the grumpy manager who just entered the box, "Wyatt, he's going for the bastard!""So?" Wyatt played the glass in his hand with a winning smirk, "Dunn Group officially missed their deadline yesterday. I'm giving Everett Dunn the chance to beg all he wants before I grab the fruit from right under his fucking nose!"Scarlett froze where she was, horrified.Dunn Group was out?! Everett said he would consider rejoining the last time she asked him about it. She didn't think he would make the official decision all of a sudden.

She didn't want to sit with him either.That being said, Scarlett found it weird that Wyatt didn't paste himself on her when he had been extra passionate to her in the past two weeks. She knew that was because her current attitude toward him was much colder than before she was reborn, so he wanted to warm up the relationship.But he also took a cold turn today.That thought didn't occupy Scarlett's mind for too long.

    Scarlett's first week was busy as hell.Most companies wouldn't put too much pressure on the newcomers, but among the dozen newly hired, Scarlett was the only one with just a high school degree, and she not only had to do her job, but also had tons of professional books to catch up, on both the current stream and fashion history.Her portfolio was the only reason she wasn't laughed out of the room.

Everett didn't return the calls and just hinted to Edward to drive on.On his phone was a simple text Mrs. Dunn sent this morning--[Residence 82.]"Boss," Driving in silence for a few minutes, Edward finally opened his mouth hesitatingly, "the madam threw a fit at the company yesterday because of the bidding project.""Hmm." Everett had his eyes closed as a single syllable escaped his nose."I mean..." Edward took a deep breath to gather his courage, because he knew how much Everett hated to touch this topic, "maybe if you rejoin the bidding like Miss Ryan asked--""Her problem is not with the bidding," Everett cut Edward off with an emotionless statement, his eyes still closed."But she's using it as an excuse to summon you," Edward gripped the steering wheel tight, outing his thought altogether.Everett let out a light chuckle and opened his eyes, amused.

    There was an outdoor cafe at the corner of fifth Avenue and Marble Street named Kitten Door. It was Scarlett's favorite --She used to ambush her father when she was little so she could blackmail him for a meal in a restaurant instead of going home and having his cooking -- this cafe was right across the street from Eva Dew's building.And on this Monday morning, Scarlett was again sitting at her usual table, sipping coffee and glancing through something on her iPad -- but this time she was preparing for her interview at Eva Dew in an hour."Pretty dress," A voice rose nearly right behind her ear, and Scarlett almost jumped up from her seat for being too focused to notice someone approaching."Everett?!" Scarlett snapped angrily when she saw who that man was, suppressing the urge of smashing her iPad on his annoying smirk, "Were you planning on giving me a heart attack?!"Everett grinned brightly at her, sitting down on the opposed seat in a leisurely move, seemingly in a good mood."

    Scarlett could hear her heart pounding in her chest fast like a drum. She didn't know whether it was for being so close to the man's chest, or for the words he just said.She had been with Wyatt since she was sixteen, and to be fair, Wyatt was a man very good at saying sweet words, much better than Everett at least. Yet with all the sweet words Wyatt had said in the past years combined, it was still lighter than what Everett Dunn just said now.Scarlett had always thought it was rightful of Wyatt to ask for her help, because she loved him, and never did she know she could be so touched when such an offer was rejected for her benefit.Before she could say anything, Everett Dunn already backed away, a shade of pain flashed through his eyes, but it was so fast that Scarlett almost feel like she imagined that."I--" Scarlett opened her mouth, but her voice broke in her throat with a sob."Sorry," Everett said with a resigned tone, sorrow filled his eyes.

    "What the hell was that?!" Wyatt shouted at Scarlett when the humiliating meal was finally over.He didn't know how he pulled through, sitting there listening to the men exchanging drinks and business information, when all he could hear was the girl's musical voice pronouncing the name he hated the most--Dunn Group.All the laughter exchanged after that sounded like mocking in Wyatt's ears -- his fiancee, his OWN woman, suggesting that his company was not worthy of the project he worked for, but said that his arch enemy's company was!How could he endure such a slap in the face?!"I thought you wanted Tom to like me," Scarlett put on a pitiful look, peering at the furious Wyatt with a timid voice, "I wanted to sound smart so I just said all that I gathered in the financial magazines you gave me...I'm really sorry if I said something wrong...""You...?!"

Evelyn grumbled with utter frustration, shaking Scarlett's arm as they settled down on a couch at the third random bar they went to that week--Evelyn was determined to spend all her free time with Scarlett before Scarlett's "career" starts."Have to deliver the portfolio by tomorrow night..."
