FINN.

For someone who I had believed was so powerful and controlling and could do anything he liked, Scarlett's father could really be humbled.

After he had asked me to wait, he had led me to his study, his demeanor changing from one of scorn to the utmost respect. It was really amusing to see him humbled.

We spoke for minutes and he decided that we had to work together. I hadn't made it easy for him anyway. I kept throwing jabs of how much of a terrible father he had been to Scarlett.

"Finn, I know all of these," He had said at one point. "But I had to do certain things because she was my only child. If I hadn't been hard on her, she wouldn't be where she is today."

"By that, you mean being aware that she was molested when she was a teenager and you did nothing about it? Going ahead to get her married to the same man who molested her when she was young. That's how you thought you were training her?" I asked, my voice laced with disgust. "You really did a bad job

    SCARLETT. All day, I waited for Finn to return with mixed feelings. What if something went wrong again? Wasn't he going to see Raya? He was supposed to be back in about three hours. But it was seven hours already and quite late. I had tried distracting myself with movies but then, my father had sent a text, telling me that my wedding dress was ready and would be delivered on my wedding day because he didn't want me ruining it. What the hell was going on? When I sent him a text, informing him that I was no longer getting married and that I didn't care if he was going to take all that I had, I didn't get a response. Calling him was futile because he didn't even pick up my call. I had to call my mother, who informed me that everything happening right now was out of her control. I had been infuriated by her words but that was it, I guess. I had spent the rest of the day fuming and waiting for Finn to return so I could narrate my ordeal to him. I was in the

    FINN. I'd gotten to the verge of telling her that I was her groom. It had taken a lot of restraint for me to actually walk away. As I drove towards the warehouse, I stared at the bag she had returned to me and sighed. I hated to put her in this position but that was it. After dealing with Kelvin tomorrow, I was to see the designer in charge of my wedding tux to get it fitted. It was going to be a long day for me tomorrow. As soon as I got to the warehouse, one of the guards standing by the entrance of the warehouse hurried towards me and bowed. "Boss, they are all waiting inside for you." Was I ever going to get used to being addressed as boss and treated like one? Because why did it feel a little weird that this man was treating me like a god? My father must have really had a huge impact on them for them to show me this much respect, age regardless. The warehouse was filled with people. Some worked on cars, and some sat around tables with drinks in front of them,

    SCARLETT. Worst day of my life. I didn't want to think of how things had gone this morning; how I had cried several times and ruined my makeup. How I had yelled at everyone, not minding if they were just there to do their jobs. None of the bridesmaids were my friends. I had told my friends I didn't want them to be bridesmaids when I was getting married to a man I hated the most. Wasn't it weird to be married to another man while going through a heartbreak from another to whom you had confessed your feelings to and he had done the same? Things were only going to get shittier from here and my parents were to blame. I hadn't spoken to either of them and as my father curled his arm for me to slip mine through, I cursed the day I was born into this family. I should have been poor and less privileged. Maybe Finn and I would have gotten married. I wondered what he was doing now. Happy with his family, on his way to falling in love with another woman who wasn't as problematic as

    THIRD PERSON’S POV "You know, it would do no damage if you told me where you were going that night," Scarlett asked as she leaned back on the lounge close to the pool area, hands on her belly, watching as Finn flipped steak on the grill. It had been three months now and that question had gone unanswered. No excuse for the lie Finn told could exonerate him. He turned towards her and sighed. "If you worry less about that night and more about the babies we are to have in less than six months, it'd be a good thing." She sat up. "Really? My husband sneaking out of the house late at night when he's supposed to fuck me the next morning doesn't deserve an answer?" Finn blew out a heavy breath and flipped the steak again before he turned to look at her, both hands on his hip. He looked really funny in the apron he was wearing. "I am starting to believe that the only reason you keep asking me this question is because I should have been fucking you instead of sneaking out of

    SCARLETT COBBSI am a mess… a fucked up mess to be precise. And to be honest, I needed to be fucked against a hard surface to get my fucked up mess in order. My life had never been a field of roses and if it was in any way, I would say I have been living with wild roses. Perhaps I was a bouquet of wild roses too. Despite the cold condition of my environment, hot molten magma was flowing within me. My bloodstream had been conquered and taken over by that hotness. I panted loudly but the noise of the party freaks around me drowned that… but that made me hotter.I used to love parties… I still loved parties, in fact, which was why I had taken a break from the harshness of reality and hopped on a touring yacht to enjoy being around new people and partying all night... But what was a party without my Lucas?My Lucas… The sweetness in my life… the one that calmed the wave of my life. “The waves are calm today.” One of the crew members, standing beside me with her group of friends poi

    SCARLETT COBBS“I will consider marriage after a refreshing trip.”That was how I responded to my dad’s marriage talk. Now that I was a few hours away from home, I was certain marriage still wasn't on my to-do list.Perhaps I felt that way because I wasn't interested in the bastard that my business-oriented father had chosen to be my husband or my lack of interest was caused by my unstable mind that only needed one thing- Sex. Hot, Rough, and intense sex which I was determined to get. My legs hurried down the corridor and I eventually found the room I had been searching for.“Let’s get fucked like a cheap slut just this night, Scarly.”I murmured to myself and pushed the door open expecting to see some men within the room, after all, it was the men’s restroom. However, not a single man was there. “They must have found out that a horny lioness was coming to hunt.”I joked, letting my horniness overshadow the pain threatening to crush me from the inside. Rather than turn around to my

    FINN DAVISHell No! She was so close. She was dominating. She was taking charge of my mind like she had trapped me in some sort of spell. It took me more than a minute to snap out of the sexual trance she had manipulated me into and it took even more for me to use my voice. “Hell No!”As gently as I could, I pushed the weird lady away from my already frustrated body. I made the mistake of looking into her beautiful yet dilated eyes again and my mind flashed back to how heavenly she looked when I entered the restroom some minutes ago. Damn! What am I doing? I should be mad at her for many reasons and I shouldn't be thinking about how pretty she was with her brown hair and in the see-through beach gown she was putting on. Her skin was making it difficult for me to hold on to the anger that made me enter the restroom in the first place.“Stay away from me… Miss…” I shifted my gaze to her finger to see if she was wearing a wedding band before I addressed her with the appropriate ter

    SCARLETT COBBSLucas was gone but I have found a mysterious man with hazel eyes and curly black hair that made him appear cute. However, his muscles were enough to give him that rough masculine look… And I wouldn't lie, he looked better than Lucas. Lucas was cute but this man wasn't cute like a female. He was manly and I wondered if he would make me feel better than Lucas had in the past. Would he be able to hit that point within me and stop the volcano from erupting?I asked myself when I dropped my beach gown to the floor of the room I would be leaving as soon as the daybreak. I was about to have sex on the sea… fantastic! Although I would have loved having sex on the sea in the men’s restroom, this wasn't bad either. Mr. Mysterious seemed to have a lot to hide and he couldn't take a risk like me and just like Lucas would have done. He wasn't My Lucas… get used to that Scarlett. The way he kissed me.

    FINN. I watched as she slept in my arms. We had talked after our kiss and she'd told me how she'd been at the therapist's twice this week and was getting better. I was so proud of her. She could actually do without me having to be there. She was becoming a better version of herself and I was extremely glad that I was there to witness it. I was never going to let her leave my side. She belonged to me now and it felt refreshing to know that this woman loved me as much as I did and had, in fact, loved me for a long time. Things were starting to fall into place. Meeting her was a miracle. I had to admit that to myself. Ignoring the ups and downs, she was really a blessing to me. Somehow, she has made me a better version of myself to her and my family. With her, I'd been able to afford a whole lot and I found out the truth about my father's life and how he was killed. I couldn't tell her. This was top secret but there was someone else I could tell. Someone who knew

    SCARLETT. I had been pacing about the living room when I caught a glimpse of a black, matte Maserati stopping in front of my house. I had paused, wondering who it was, and when a familiar figure came out of the car, dressed impeccably and looking like he hadn't gone through a series of tortures from the man I hated most in the world, my heart flew. The glass of brandy I had been holding slipped into my hand and crashed to the floor as I burst into a fit of tears while still running toward him. Just as I opened the door, he was there, standing before me with a smile and I just knew, I just knew I had to tell him everything. I just knew he meant a lot to me. We were seated on one of the couches and I couldn't just take my hands off him. I touched his face, searched his hands for any form of bruises, and even had to pull his chest up. I covered a hand over my mouth and more tears slipped down my cheeks when I saw the red marks, he had gotten from being constantly electro
