Scarlett's POV:

I opened my eyes to see the sunlight reflecting into the room. I found myself lying on the comfy bed, Jones was nowhere to be seen. I sat up on the bed and when I did, I felt a terrible headache practically knocking me out. I winced in pain until I was able to recall everything that had happened from last time.

From the drinks, to emotional talks and confession of feelings and then to his room where he showed me a painting that he made out of heartbreak. He basically offered it to me and I collected it without any disapproval. We had somehow fallen asleep.

As I looked around I heard some whispers coming from the living room. It didn't sound like Jones, instead it sounded like some angry lady who had been robbed of her money or something. I got up from the bed and hastily walked out and got into the living room where I saw Jones with a brunette lady. Quite tall with a body like that of a female athlete. My presence seemed to be acknowledged because she stopped talking

  • Sixty Shades Of The Devil   Disheartened

    Scarlett's POV:" What just happened?"Sonia asked, obviously surprised. Of course, she was as surprised as I was so I wasn't just the only one who seemed to notice the cooking fish. I walked up to close the door making sure it was locked before heading towards the racks of clothes.Sonia still didn't say anything, her hand was placed around her neck as she stared at the wall, probably trying to digest everything that happened. " You think there's something going on that we don't know?" Sonia queried and I turned around to look at her. The surprise look she had on her face earlier was gone and replaced with what seemed like distress." I don't know what to say," I answered honestly, pulling my top over my head." I should probably go check on them and see what's going on,"Of course she should. I was so curious to know what the hell was happening, why Zelda acted like an asshole and why Jones followed her when she left. That guy hadn't even sent half a week here but yet they had both

  • Sixty Shades Of The Devil   Not My Commando

    Scarlett's POV: Dead! I gasped with my hand covering my mouth. My ears widened as if they were set on fire by the unexpected news that just left Sonia's mouth. My tears continued to roll down and I sat there in a cloud of shock. I couldn't even say a word. Sonia still had the phone placed on her ear. Her face was flushed from her crying and tears. This was tragic! I cannot believe it. Sam was dead? But how? When? Where? Why? And if it was true that he was dead then what could possibly be the reason behind his death or maybe there was a mix up somewhere. Maybe he wasn't dead, it could just be a random guy who was found dead and he happened to bear the same name as Sam and then coincidentally Sonia's number happened to be the same as his relative. Damn! What was I even saying, it doesn't even make any sense. Dead or not we needed to see for ourselves." Okay, I'll be there," Sonia said and hung up. I stared at her and saw the pain in her eyes, those eyes of hers reflected pain, nothing

  • Sixty Shades Of The Devil   Gone For Eternity

    Scarlett's POV: The boss didn't stop me when I walked out of the room... Out on him... He didn't even make a second attempt to do so and I know he was pissed off but like I said earlier, I didn't care.And as for my dream, I seriously think it has nothing to do with this. It could just be a mere coincidence, yes! Coincidence do happen.I walked out of the resort with Jones moseying behind me. He offered to drive me to the police station, a station I didn't even know where. I sighed and hopped into his car then fixed my seat belt while he did the same and soon the ride started. I wanted to make a call to ask for the address of the station but I realized that I hadn't brought my phone along with me. " Urgh!" I cursed under my breath. Jones didn't seem to realize. He was driving away as if he knew where he was heading. I wanted to ask him for his phone so that I could make the call but then..." Where is this station anyway?" He posed and I exhaled sharply, relieved that he spoke." Jus

  • Sixty Shades Of The Devil   Is it you, Mr Strange?

    Scarlett's POV:We got to the inspector's office where I saw Sonia sitting across from the inspector. The inspector looked up at us the moment we walked in and so did Sonia. I saw how bloody her eyes were, even the make up she had on her face had been messed by her tears. The inspector saw us and sheepishly smiled before gesturing to any of us to sit down on the seat across from him which was next to Sonia, well I did the honor by taking the seat. He stared at me and his smile increased." Can I please see the body?" I requested but my request was declined by the inspector who negatively shook his head before leaning forward to me." His body was taken away a long time ago, it's at the morgue," he replied. His voice sounded like an alto-like voice, deep yet calm. I nod my head at his response. So that literally meant that Sonia had followed them to the morgue which was probably at the hospital." Well then, I need to know if this is authentic or not, I need verification, enough proof t

  • Sixty Shades Of The Devil   Enemy Like Her

    Scarlett's POV:Jones and I strode towards the resort, astonished with the look of things. The buses that had brought us all to the resort were here and some employees were seen packing up some equipment that had been used for the shooting. Some employees were even seated in the bus with their small luggage with them. I stretched forward to check if Sonia and the rest were in any of the buses but I found none of them, I sighed in relief.As we walked inside the resort, I was able to perceive the scent of Jones' cologne beneath my nose as I sniffed. It was the fragrance smell that made me want to hug him the more just so I would be able to get the opportunity to perceive him again. His scent was unique and rare, a good one, so pleasant in the nose. I liked it and I couldn't help but sniff the fragrance into my body. It smelled really nice. We were about to get to my room and before a minute's click, we were standing at the doorway. I then grabbed hold of the door handle but hesitate. M

  • Sixty Shades Of The Devil   Dark side

    Scarlett's POV: I unconsciously dropped the picture on the floor then turned to the boss of whom I had no idea when he got in. I nervously held the hem of my dress while his eyes were focused on the crashed frame on the floor. I exhaled sharply trying to stop myself from trembling visibly. He didn't say anything instead he stepped in and closed the door behind him. His eyes were still on the picture." Where did you take the picture? Did you go through my things?" I shook my head negatively and surprisingly he gave me a light nod as his reply, he then walked towards it, closed to where I stood and then he picked up the frame. I gulped hard the moment I realized the mess I caused. The cracking was worse than it was before. I honestly didn't know what to do at this moment." Stupid bitches,"He trudged past me going to sit on the bed. His eyes still glued to the frame. As I internally panicked while I silently watched him.For a moment, I thought he was probably trying to sympathize wit

  • Sixty Shades Of The Devil   Carrying A Baby

    Scarlett's POV: " Oh my God! you really don't know?" I asked, amazed by the ridiculous remark my boss had made before now. Focusing on the road, he shrugged his shoulders with a tiny smile that refused to reach his eyes." Sam was like a family to the company and the employees, tell me you don't mean it when you said you barely know his family, they had shown up the last time we went to the resort, "" That doesn't mean I'm supposed to rub my face at theirs every second simply because they're Sam's family," He argued with slight annoyance, which I was able to identify." Literally... It's bad! I mean... How can you not know?"" Okay Scarlett! You're making this seem like a crime which obviously isn't. What's your big deal with him anyway," he scoffed.Okay! This was weird. I knew I hadn't been a hundred percent sure he would tell me why he barely knew things about Sam but that statement which slipped out of his lips was something I didn't expect either. It was as if Sam's death didn't

Zelda and I had tried to get her to sleep even though it was quite difficult doing so. I couldn't watch her tears up and hurt herself, the burden on her was just too much, and somehow I was able to feel what she was passing through and I could tell how hard it was.Zelda returned into the room with Mike behind her. He had a tray set up with meals for Sonia who looked like someone who wasn't ready to wake up yet, I didn't blame her for it, she was beyond stressed and a good rest was something she really needed. Mike walked up to the bed and placed the tray of meals down. He took his seat on the bed and stared into her pale face. I could see the obvious sympathy in his eyes and I could tell how curious he was." What did she say?" He asked, staring at me." A lot," I responded with a crestfallen face." Did she say anything about Sam?"" Of course she did, he's the reason why

  • Sixty Shades Of The Devil   EPILOGUE

    I watched them carry her body away. Shock still overwhelmed me...my mother was dead? Max was wounded too. Where was Cage when they needed him...he fucking promised that he would look after them...he promised me.My teary eyes roved over to him, he was on one kneel, his eyes exhibiting sadness and regrets. " You promised me,"Cage shook his head vigorously, trying to explain what happened; " Scarlett... please..."" You're a traitor. How could you break your promise, how could you let my mom die? You fucking bastard! I hate you so much,"I yelled, slapping him multiple times across his face. I saw Hermie came over to me, her anguish face and eyes glaring down at Cage." He doesn't deserve you, you've suffered too much just by staying with him. He doesn't deserve an angel like you, can't you see how he's hurting you? Can't you see that he's your rival? You need to fucking reject him as your mate before the worse happens,"Hermie's words dug into my heart. She was only making it worse fo

  • Sixty Shades Of The Devil   Journey To Validon

    Scarlett's POV: " Sausages?" I took the wrapped sausages and kept it inside the brown leather bag." You guys sure need water also,"Jessy handed me two bottles of water and I didn't hesitate to keep them inside the bag. Today was the day Talon and I were going to Validon. He had told me that to get there was going to be a long journey, five days to be precise. So I thought packing a few things would help. I thanked Jessy before heading out. Thankful that I didn't have to bump into Miriam. Talon was already waiting outside along with Gray whose face depicted worries but it seemed to disappear the instant he saw me. " Here, let me help," Talon, as the gentleman he was, collected the bag and hung it over his shoulders." Scarlett, don't you think it's a good idea to cover up a little? The weather there is a quite harsh and also we'd be bumping into a lot of perverts,"Talon told me. I looked down at my dress, I wore a top that I tucked into my high waist skirt which stopped just at

  • Sixty Shades Of The Devil   Depressed

    Micage's POV: Damn her! She loved him? She loved Jones and not me? I scoffed, how pathetic. I know I tried a lot not to let the pain reflect but my efforts weren't working because I could feel the way my heart squeezed brokenly, I was so heartbroken. How can she choose him over me? How the fuck did he even get here? I owned the place yet no fucking person except Miriam had told me about Jones. Shit and that was when I lost it. The way Miriam had described to me what she saw them doing, I nearly thought they were going to have sex. But now I do know that I no longer matter. Scarlett had undergone a lot of changes that I cannot deny and so did I. This love of a thing was really making me too weak...very weak and I fucking didn't like it.Why does it seem like she was the stronger one and I'm the weaker one that craves for her love all the time. Is it because I'm suffering from the lack of our intimacy?Of course, that was how things worked. The female mate never got to feel the pain f

  • Sixty Shades Of The Devil   Cheated Feelings

    Scarlett's POV:" I didn't know because I found it quite difficult these past days to connect with her. I've also noticed some changes in me whenever I try to mind travel. It's as if I am slowly beginning to lose my powers. I thought they were normal changes...but now I don't think it is anymore and sure I could have felt her pain when she lost the baby,"Talon uttered, face palming his face in terror. He shook slightly." What do you plan to do now, Talon?"Talon said nothing for a moment but after a brief silence, he endured and silently whispered; " I'd just let it be. I'm not the only one this would happen to. It'd expected it to be difficult because she wasn't really carrying a human child, infact, the late baby could overpower her if he becomes too strong for her. Vampire babies are like rocks so...I don't know,"" Isn't there a solution or something? Perhaps you can get back to her and tell her the entire truth,"" Scarlett, I can't. Think of how her reaction would be, I may ev

    Writer's POV:Diego pressed his lips into a thin line, giving Maya the most challenging look he could muster. " The two guys outside ended up dead, you kidnapped the other poor guy's sister...what a legend you are Diego,"Diego let out a throaty chuckle. " You can say that again. I am indeed a legend. So what now? You'd come with me to Dondania, will you?"For a moment, Maya wondered. How would she feel going to Dondania with Diego when she had a lot of ' finding Scarlett and murdering her soon enough' plan to work on?" I'm good,"Diego didn't protest. He could handle the remaining taka himself now. The very moment they had left the warehouse, Diego had left a note, telling his secret investigators to head to Dondania and begin their search. The secret investigators were the source he used for his findings and dirty works. Those investigators were the ones who had kidnapped Jessica on the command of Diego. Diego had his own power and authority, he had his little clan which was inf

    Writer's POV: Diego returned back to them, Maya and Cassandra. His face turned into one of horror as the two awaited the bad news they expected." I can't find him," Diego spoke." Damn it! Where the fuck did he go?" Maya yelled, throwing a furious punch on the table in which a jar stood, in the cause of punching, the jar fell to the floor and shattered into pieces." Jones is weak, I'm sure he wouldn't have gone too far if he tried to escape,"Cassandra interfered, wearing the same angry look on her face.Just when they thought they would finalize their plan with the help of Jones, he had decided to disappear...they suspected that he had escaped and if truly he had done so then why did he do so? There was no right answer to that." Diego, you go after him. Search the whole damn city and see if you'll find him. I'll head back to Baridona now..."" Baridona! You can't, you'd die outside,"" Then what the fuck do you expect me to do?" Maya yelled, shooting her glare at Diego. " Didn't

    Scarlett's POV: " You've killed him," Cage pulled out the knife. His gaze met mine and he gritted his teeth so hard that I heard it; " He was flirting with you,"He answered me with no shame...no regret. How worse could he even get?" You cheated on me Cage and it's not once, not twice but several times, what is wrong with you? Why do you always like to crush my heart like it's nothing..."I had no more words to say to him. I cleaned my teary eyes and went back to Jones, his chest bled profusely, he wasn't groaning anymore, he wasn't even breathing and at the back of my mind, I was thinking he was dead. I hadn't noticed that Miriam had left the room before because now she returned in with the least person I expected to see, Gray." Oh shit!" He dashed towards us, not sparing either Cage and I a glance. " I need something cold, Miriam, could you get me one?"Miriam left and returned immediately with an ice bag. Gray took it from her before pressing it against Jones' bleeding chest.

    Scarlett's POV:" What is happening to her? Is she going to be alright?"Max's voice grew high pitched, his worrisome yet surprising eyes met with mine. Mark, Talon and Miriam were the ones attending to my mother. I suspected Miriam to be a vampire also because she and Mark were the ones doing most of the work. Talon came to me and pulled me into an embrace, calmly patting my hair.My Mom had gone unconscious because of me. She was always getting hurt because of me. If I had known this was going to happen then I wouldn't have said a thing. Now look what I've caused.I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something bad should happen to her. I cannot bear to see her hurt because of me... again." It's nothing serious. She's simply stressed, I bet she hasn't been getting enough of sleep but you don't need to worry, she'll be okay before you know it,"Miriam spoke. Mark nodded in agreement." Perhaps it's best if she sleeps for the meantime without anyone disturbing her. It'd help to imp
