“I don't want any trouble, Easton.” She breathed. But he only stepped closer, running his fingers on her cheeks slowly as a smirk stretched the side of his mouth, “Well, that's too damn bad because I want to see you in trouble. I want to see you in pain until you're nothing but a shell in a body.” Tears rolled down her cheeks as she held back a sob, her throat was dry as she asked the question that was burning in her chest, “Do you hate me that much?” Seeing her tears made something in him shift but he quickly recovered. He took a few steps back and tucked his hands in his pockets before finding her gaze again, “That would make me too kind. What I feel for you isn't hate, Scarlet. It's deeper than that, but most importantly, I want to make you pay for ruining my life and taking my brother from me.” ……….. They say opposites attract, and for them, it was love at first sight. But love wasn’t enough to keep them together when fate tore them apart. She left him, convinced it was the only way to protect him. He believed she abandoned him out of cold-heartedness, and love for money. Blaming her for his brother’s tragic accident. For five long years, he’s harbored a fierce bitterness, a desire for revenge so intense it’s reshaped him, hardening his heart to ice. Now she’s back—stronger, wiser, but still haunted by the shadows of their past. And he’s waiting, ready to make her pay for what he believes she stole from him. She takes his anger, thinking it’s because she left, unaware of the deeper wound that fuels his wrath. But what happens when the truth finally comes out?

Chapter 1 ~ A competition

Easton Kade Black, CEO of Black Enterprise, sat in his chair, Ocean blue eyes giving nothing away as he listened to Kai present to him the biggest plan of the quarter.“This fashion design competition, sir, will be the talk of the town for a long time. It will also gain us many followers as we stream the final day because we’ve designed it to attract a wide pool of fresh, innovative designers to work with us. The publicity we will generate will be like nothing we have seen so far.” Kai continued, pushing his round reading glasses up the bridge of his nose.Easton listened attentively, his long fingers drumming against the table. “Go on.” He urged Kai who nodded and gave Amanda a go-ahead to present her part of the plan. The rest of the employees followed keenly as they waited anxiously to see his reaction. Easton was extremely picky and he usually left his right hand, Kai, to review most of the plans and only present to him final drafts due to how busy his schedule was.But for som...

Chapter 2 ~ A call
“Mama, this is beautiful!” Jasmine’s eyes brightened as she looked at the dress Scarlet was holding up.“You think so?” Scarlet smiled, her heart warming at her little cheerleader. Jasmine nodded vigorously, her brown eyes widening even more, “Your clothes are always the best!”‘Hopefully, my clients love them too. We really need the money.’ Scarlet thought internally as she smiled at her daughter walking up to her and kissing her head before walking back to her sewing machine.Scarlet spent the hours that followed focused on making more and more designs so she could sell them at a cheaper price to help their financial situation. She had just placed the piece she was working on, on the table when her phone vibrated and her heart froze.Fear gripped her as she wondered if it was her Landlord again, ‘But it’s only been a day.’ She mumbled to herself as she watched the phone ring, afraid of checking the ID.“Mama? Your phone is ringing.” Jasmine pointed out.Scarlet sighed, as she lean

Chapter 3 ~ A search
“How are we doing?” Easton asked Kai.Kai pulled down his tie slightly as he looked up at his boss. “Overwhelming. We have hundreds of applicants. We made sure word reached every corner of the country as you wanted, Sir.”Easton nodded, “Good. Have Amanda hand over all the designs to you, I need to take a look.” He instructed.“Yes sir,” Kai responded.And overwhelming it was indeed. Every person in the country applied. It was the talk of the city and the first thing the media talked about each morning. From talented to aspiring designers, they all wanted to work for the Black Enterprises knowing that would change their lives forever. Even cleaners and cooks earned more than an average person in Bayern so you can only imagine how much a designer would make. Seeing that everything was falling into place, Easton turned to walk towards his office. His heart couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. He was getting closer to finding her.But had she seen the advert?What if she didn’t

Chapter 4 ~ A visit
Easton’s car cruised through the streets, he tapped his long fingers on his thigh absentmindedly as he imagined the first thing he would say once he was face to face with Scarlet.Five years had passed since they last saw each other, but even after so long, no one had such an effect on him as she did. A painful memory he’d kept buried resurfaced.The image of her walking out on him, her cold words lingering in his mind like a wound that refused to heal. Her beautiful brown eyes which always sparkled when she looked at him looked dead.Was money her only goal from the beginning?“Easton! There’s been an accident!” Jade’s frantic voice echoed in his mind, pulling him deeper into his storm of emotions and opening the Pandora's box that held all his memories. One he held onto as a reminder of why he was going to make the two people who ruined his life pay! He clenched his jaw, resentment coursing through him. The woman he once loved had shown him how easily love could be twisted into be

Chapter 5 ~ Surprise Surprise
"Mom, please let me come with you!” Jasmine’s small hands clung to her arm, eyes teary as she pleaded. “Sweetheart, we talked about this. It’s better if Aunt Aria stays with you today. I’ll be back soon,” Scarlet replied gently, brushing a stray curl from her daughter's forehead. Jasmine pouted making Scarlet’s heart shred into pieces. She also wanted her daughter to tag along but she couldn’t.What if she didn’t win and they were thrown out of the building? She had stayed up the previous night thinking of all possible scenarios and none of them ended with her walking out with a smile on her face.‘Then why are you going?’ An annoying voice taunted her.‘Because I’m desperate and I can’t mooch off Aria forever!’ She snapped.“Mama?” Jasmine’s melodic voice voice pulled her back. “Yes, honey.”“Are you going to wear that makeup, Mama? You look beautiful, but it has changed your face!” Jasmine pointed out, making Aria laugh so loudly that she choked on her coffee.“Mama just wanted t

Chapter 6 ~ Old Flames
Scarlet’s heart pounded hard as she fought to steady her breathing. His gaze was fixed on her, those ocean-blue eyes showing a mix of curiosity and something unreadable.Her mind raced, wondering how he’d recognized her. ' Maybe it was a guess,’ she thought as she decided to ignore him and pretend she didn’t hear him. But he only stepped closer, his tall frame towering over her,“Did you lose your hearing?” He taunted.For a brief second, she considered not responding, pretending to be someone else. But she knew Easton too well. He was the kind of man who noticed every detail, and it seemed makeup couldn’t save her either.Slowly, she dragged her eyes to meet his, biting her lip as her heart pounded hard against her chest..."Easton," she finally breathed, lifting her chin slightly, hoping her voice didn’t betray her nerves. "I didn’t expect…to see you here." “Where else would I be?” He placed his hands in his pockets.Scarlet was tempted to say, ‘Anywhere but here.’ But she remained

Chapter 7 ~ Trapped
“Scarlet! Congratulations on winning! This calls for a celebration!” Aria said, throwing her arms around Scarlet the moment she walked through the door but Scarlet felt like her heart had been ripped out and burst into tears in her friend’s arms.Aria frowned worriedly but waited until she was composed again before taking her to the couch. The competition was being streamed live so everyone saw the winner and the new top designer of the Black Enterprise.“Are these tears of joy?” Aria asked once they had sat down.“I wish!” Scarlet sniffed as she leaned back on the couch before her eyes found Aria’s again, “Where is Jasmine?”“She was so excited when she saw you win and tried the best she could to stay awake but she just couldn’t, she’s asleep now. But don’t change the topic. Did something happen?”.Scarlet forced a smile,"Scarlet, talk to me, babe. You’re making me anxious!” Aria pushed on until Scarlet finally gave in with a heavy sigh.She took a shaky breath, struggling to find th

Chapter 8 ~ Unannounced Visit
Scarlet’s eyes widened into saucers as she leaned closer like she didn’t hear him correctly, “You want me to pay Five million dollars? How is that even legal? This is ridiculous! No one said anything about me having to join your company Automatically.”Mr. Callahan held up his hand and spoke calmly which was even more annoying for Scarlet. “I understand this may be unexpected.”“You have no idea,” Scarlet held back the urge to roll her eyes. “However,” Mr. Callahan continued, “The company’s policies are clear, Miss Frost. If you refuse the position, you are liable for the liquidated damages. That’s why we highly recommend that you read through a document before signing it.”Scarlet's heart pounded as rushed upstairs to grab the confirmation letter and rushed back down with it. She stared at the confirmation letter in her hands and couldn't believe it; in her panic after seeing Easton, she had missed the hidden clause binding her to the company. “That bastard!” She muttered under

Chapter 9 ~ Gold digger
Scarlet froze, totally caught off guard by the sight of Easton standing in front of her, barely covered by the towel slung low on his hips. Her eyes moved over Easton without meaning to.He stood there, the towel hanging low around his waist, barely covering him. The towel rested just above his hips, and water droplets were slowly rolling down his well-defined chest and abs. Some of the droplets slid lower, disappearing into the towel, leaving very little to the imagination. As he moved, his muscles tightened, and the water drops shimmered on his skin, disappearing into the lines of his body. Scarlet felt her heart race, trying to focus, but the sight of him was hard to ignore.He must have been a Greek God in his past life. Because how could he look so… Scarlet shook her head and tried to refocus her mind. She hadn’t prepared to meet him looking so... exposed. Her face flushed, a mix of embarrassment and frustration creeping up her cheeks as her eyes betrayed her, flickering to t

Chapter 10 ~ Farmiliar Taste
Scarlet had been completely caught off guard by the sudden kiss. It was nothing like she remembered. His kiss was hard, full of anger, yet there was a hint of something else—something familiar. He cupped her face, his thumb brushing her cheek making her moan which gave him access to her tongue. The kiss was demanding, fierce, and all-consuming. Like a spell, she couldn't break away from. His touch ignited something deep inside her. It was like her entire body was on fire making her lose all control as her hands found their way to his chest, the smoothness of his skin sending a rush of heat through her fingertips as his firm muscles flexed beneath her touch. A thrill of desire shot through her, and she felt her body responding, her nipples hardened and her heart raced, She had planned to resist, to push him away, but the moment he kissed her, it was like her body betrayed her. She couldn’t stop herself from responding, even as her mind screamed at her to break free.Easton, too
