SCARLETT'S POV. My mind was a jumbled mess and it had been so for 48 hours now. I'd been confused, with several thoughts floating around my mind, particularly thoughts about what Luca had revealed to me about my father.My own father? My hero. The man who I believed couldn't even hurt a fly. No way, it had to be a rumour. It just had to be, because I couldn't even stomach the thought.How could my own father be involved in such despicable acts? How could he have done that under my nose, under my mother's nose too? No way, he couldn't be that sneaky could he? I lay in my makeshift bed on the floor all alone, still respecting LUCA'S warning about not coming close to his stuff which meant I couldn't be caught lying in his bed. He'd been almost a ghost in the room since we'd had that conversation and honestly, I didn't even mind at all. I couldn't stand him after all he'd said, after all I'd found out.One of the things that made me mad was the fact that he'd been cheating on me all thi
SCARLETT'S POV."Mystery?" I asked. "Are you trying to say I'm mysterious?"Sasha nodded. "Yeah, you always walk around with this faraway look on your face. And then you don't mingle with the other ladies even when your husband is definitely the most influential man here. I can understand though, why your husband would keep to himself, he's kind of too big to be here.""I wouldn't say too big to be here," I countered. "There are so many great guys here too, I've seen some really crazy stuff from other men here and I'm highly impressed." "That's true," she nodded. "But your husband is like on another level of big. My husband looks up to him and that's why we have both been trying to get to talk to you guys, honestly."I had no idea if I should've been flattered by her words or not, but I settled on just being cool."Don't take us too seriously though, you'll be surprised," I muttered but of course she heard. It was the truth. She was going to be really surprised when she found out tha
SCARLETT'S POV.I should've expected what Luca had done immediately we got out of ear and eye shot of everyone. The man had literally just withdrawn his hand and pulled far away from me like I had a virus or something. So, he'd done what any sane husband would do, take his wife out of the drama, and because our marriage wasn't real, he didn't need to fake it all the way so he pulled away. Big deal?It shouldn't have hurt when he'd done that, but for some weird reason it did. Maybe it was because my emotions were all over the place and my mind was a jumbled mess, or maybe it was because it was a clear sign that all the seducing I'd been doing had not worked at all. Whatever it was, it wasn't welcome and I needed to get back to my senses fast enough. There was just too much on my mental plate already with my father and my school break slowly coming to an end, I couldn't possibly add more things to it. I needed to find out if everything that they were saying about Dad was true and if i
LUCA'S POV. The next few days were hell on earth for me, and that was of course because of Scarlett. Scarlett. She was all I could freaking think about, all I could see when I closed my eyes and all I thought about when blood rushed to my groin. Shit. It was messed up, really really messed up to be wanting her with such passion, but my body didn't want to understand that. It just wanted to be close to her, to have her and see if all the hype and tension was going to fade away afterwards. What had happened that day hadn't even helped things. That day had frankly been a mistake. A mistake that almost had me doing things that I'd promised I wasn't going to do.What I'd walked in on at the hall that day had filled me with embarassment and also fury. I couldn't believe that a woman that was publicly known to be my wife was seen entangled with another woman while people gossiped and even further filmed the whole thing. And it had made me angry at Scarlett for getting herself involved in
SCARLETT'S POV. I had no idea that spending time with Sasha in her hotel suite was going to be so amazing and interesting. In just four hours, I'd had more fun than I'd had since I'd come to this stupid city and I couldn't be more grateful. With everything that was going on in my life, it was important that I got sometime to unwind and just breathe for a change.Sasha was the perfect breath of relief. She was just as kind as she'd been the first time, even more so, and even ten times more hilarious. I'd figured that out when we'd started to dig up all the memes we had saved on our phones, laughing our ass off while we lay on her bed. Her's were always more funny and it wasn't hard to tell that she was the greatest comedian out of the two of us when she brought up a scene from my favourite TV show that I'd found equally hilarious. The way she'd passionately criticized the cringe in the scene had gotten me down on my knees, clutching my stomach while I cackled like a wolf. It felt am
eSCARLETT'S POV. As Sasha and I walked into the grand hall, the atmosphere was buzzing with anticipation. The soft melody of classical music filled the air, creating an elegant backdrop for the evening. As we made our way toward our table, I couldn't help but notice the piercing gazes fixed upon us. Of course. Whispers rippled through the room, and it felt as though all eyes were on Sasha and me as we moved. My heart quickened its pace, a mix of irritation and nervousness intertwining within me. I stole a glance at Sasha, whose confident stride seemed unaffected by the attention. She had an air of self-assurance that I admired, and it gave me a momentary boost of confidence too. I was going to take her advise. I wasn't going to give a shit about any of them. As we reached a table were a few people were seated. I would have preferred to sit all alone, but the room was practically overflowing with people and I was sure that in the next five minutes there were going to be no more se
LUCA'S POV.Immediately Scarlett had stepped into the room, my heart had started to race at an alarming rate and my mouth had gone dry. It took everything in me to concentrate on all Mr Richardson and the other men were saying when she walked into the room looking like that. Lord knows I'd tried to take my eyes away but I couldn't, I just couldn't. Scarlett had decided to torment me for sure, because why in the world would she choose that dress? I could literally see the top of her breasts and I had no idea if it was just the dress doing it but they were definitely huge. Round, creamy and calling for my affection. Yep, that was a problem right there. I wasn't supposed to be going crazy over just a dress, and for the upteenth time now, I had to remind myself that she wasn't even my ideal type. Why did she look so damn beautiful though? It was distracting and also annoying, making me burn with anger. After she'd defied me, she'd just stepped into the hall with that woman by her sid
SCARLETT'S POV.I was on the way to the bathroom when I got pulled to the hallway. I was about to scream in fear until I looked up to see who it was that had grabbed me. It was a familiar face for sure, one I'd seen a few times at my house, speaking with my father. I rose an eyebrow, wondering what he was doing in the hallway, and why he had to pull me like that."Uhh, I know you..." I trailed off, hoping he would introduce himself. "Yes, I'm a friend of your Dad's," he smiled brightly and I relaxed a little. "My name's Martinez, but you can call me, Martin.""Oh, I'm so sorry... I don't really know much about my dad's business and his friends, so ..."He brushed it off. "Oh it's no big deal. Your Dad and I aren't the closest or something anyways..." I stood, waiting for him to go straight to what he wanted, holding back the urge to pee. I wasn't lying to Sasha when I said I needed to pee, and I also needed an excuse to e very far away from Luca. He'd been making me feel uncomforta
