“Mummy!” Jasmine ran through the door. The two had been so immersed into the conversation that they didn't hear the door open. “My precious jewel!” Scarlet held her hands open as she ran into her arms. “Daddy picked me up today! He even got me this doll!” She squirmed excitedly. Scarlet dragged her eyes to the doll,“That looks human!” She laughed, “It's huge!”“I know! I know! Awesome, right? Now I have someone to play with before you give me a baby brother.!” Jasmine clapped her tiny hands, making Easton choke behind her. “Aren't you a cute little thing!” Sky laughed, already falling in love with Jasmine. “Hello! My name is Jasmine Frost!” she smiled at Sky. “Hi, my name is Sky Black. Your Aunty!” “My aunty? I thought only Aunt Aria was my aunty.” She frowned her cute brows meeting in confusion. Everyone laughed.“Well, your father is my brother. So doesn't that make me your aunty?” Sky stood and knelt before her so they were eye to eye.“Oh ! you're right. You are my aunty!”
"Easton..” Scarlet breathed. Her heart was pounding so hard she could feel blood rushing to her ears. Easton stepped closer, his eyes fixed on her as he held her face in his huge hands. Easton was six foot two and Scarlet was five foot five, so she had to really arch her neck to meet his gaze.“You drive me crazy,” he murmured, his voice low and deep. Before she could respond, his lips crashed on hers in a shattering kiss. Scarlet let out a moan which gave him more room and pushed his tongue into her mouth. Scarlet’s hands instinctively found their way to his chest, her fingers gripping the fabric of his shirt as his mouth moved against hers. His kiss was hard and desperate as they moved their lips in sync.Easton’s arms slid around her waist, lifting her effortlessly as though she weighed nothing.“Easton!” She giggled. “My darling angel.” He grumbled before closing the gap again. Scarlet gasped against his lips as he gently placed her on the neck of the outdoor chair, the cool
His hands gripped her hips, positioning her beneath him as he unbuckled his belt. The sound of the leather sliding through the loops sent a fresh wave of anticipation through her. Scarlet reached out, her fingers brushing against him as she helped him free himself from his jeans. When she felt the hard length of him, her eyes widened, and a small gasp escaped her lips. “You’re... big,” she managed to say, her cheeks flushing as a sly grin spread across his face. “I’ll take care of you,” he promised, his voice a low rumble that sent shivers down her spine. Easton positioned himself at her entrance, his eyes locking with hers as he slowly pushed inside her. Scarlet gasped, her nails digging into his shoulders as he stretched her inch by inch. “You’re so tight,” he groaned, his head falling to her shoulder as he fought to keep control. “So perfect.” Scarlet’s breath hitched, her body adjusting to the fullness of him as he filled her completely. “Easton,” she whispered, her vo
The news of Alison Kane's death hit Scarlet like a freight train. She sat up in bed, her exhaustion from the day instantly forgotten. The room felt suffocating as the words. "fatal accident" echoed in her mind.“Alison Kane,” she whispered, her throat dry.Easton glanced at the television, his brow furrowing as he reached for the remote to increase the volume.“…Daily Mail Chief Editor Alison Kane was involved in a tragic car accident late last night. Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash. More updates to come,” the anchor reported.“Shit.” Easton cursed as he pulled out his phone to dial Kai’s line. He knew that whatever happened would come back to Scarlet, the fact being that she publicly apologized to her.Scarlet felt a cold chill run down her spine. It was just weeks ago when Alison had publicly apologized to her after that article that had tarnished Scarlet's reputation, but now… now the timing of this tragedy felt too coincidental.Easton noticed the way her han
Kai burst into Easton’s office, his face pale, and a tablet clutched tightly in his hand. “You need to see this,” he said, his voice tight with urgency.Easton, still shrugging off his coat from their recent trip, sighed heavily. He had hoped the chaos would have calmed by now. Instead, he wished they had never returned. He snatched the tablet from Kai and pressed play.The video showed Alison Kane—disheveled, tears streaking her face—speaking directly into the camera. “They threatened me,” she sobbed. “I don’t feel safe. If anything happens to me, it won’t be an accident.”The video ended, leaving a tense silence in the room. Easton’s jaw clenched as Kai leaned over to point at the tablet. “It’s everywhere, sir. The comments are… bad. Really bad.”“Why? What are they saying?” Easton sat down and threaded his fingers together. “It's like someone is intentionally drawing the attention to Miss Frost.” Kai pushed his glasses forward. “I expected that,” Easton responded as he opened t
“Are you sure this is the place?” Aria asked, her voice laced with skepticism as she glanced around the dimly lit hallway. Scarlet clutched her old phone tightly in one hand while gripping Aria’s hand with the other. The building was far from reassuring—cracked walls, flickering lights, and an unmistakable smell of mildew filled the air. “This is the address,” Scarlet murmured, her eyes scanning the peeling numbers on the apartment doors. “It has to be.” “Where the fuck did you find such a creepy place? We could have just asked your man to work some magic.” “Then I wouldn't be helping. I want this to be his gift before the event in two days.”“I doubt he'll get it. Our body parts might be possible.” Aria commented, making Scarlet shake her head.“You're overreacting. It's going to be okay.” Aria huffed, pulling her jacket tighter around her. “The things I do for you, woman. Seriously, if this turns into some horror movie scene, I’m not running. I’ll just fall and die then hun
Scarlet’s eyes locked on the picture frame, her hand trembling as she picked it up. “What?” Her mouth opened in shock. It was like seeing a ghost come to life. The woman in the photo smiled warmly, her face so familiar it made Scarlet’s chest ache. Her breath quickened, her heart pounding in disbelief.They had met in their usual meeting spot to finalize the designs for the show, which was two days away. Scarlet felt fatigued, so she began walking around the room to watch the designs she didn't get a chance to see. However, seeing the woman in the picture was beyond her wildest dreams. She remembered her face so clearly. The beautiful blue eyes and blonde hair. She was like an angel walking the face of the earth. Scarlet blinked a few times wondering if she had just imagined it.“Easton…” she whispered, barely able to get the words out. “Where did you get this?”Easton looked up from the desk, instantly noticing the change in her tone. His brow furrowed in concern as he approached h
“You've done a great job so far.” Amanda praised as Scarlet sat in her office. It was now one day before the main event and Amanda had called Scarlet over to her office. As she walked in, she had her heart in her throat so hearing the most strict manager praise threw her off and she was taken aback.But she couldn't deny the fact that it felt good that all her hard work didn't go unnoticed because if there was something Easton had done since she joined the company, it was giving her hell and made her work like a donkey. He had stopped abruptly but that didn't erase the harsh memory she had.“Thank you. Though I must say I'm a little nervous.” Scarlet brushed the strand of hair behind her ear. Amanda, ever so poised and controlled, gave her a small nod, “That's normal. But seeing how well you've done despite the challenges that kept coming, I must say I'm impressed by you and Easton made the right choice.” “Thank you.” Scarlet smiled, not knowing what else to say. Amanda nodded and
The drive to the hospital felt like an eternity for Scarlet as Easton drove. No matter how fast he went, it still felt like they were moving at a snail's pace. “How much more distance do we have to cover?” Scarlet asked.“Darling, you need to get to the hospital alive to see her so please let me drive at a safe speed,” Easton responded as he swerved at a corner.Scarlet felt her breathing become even more difficult as she wrung her hands feeling guilty. “I’m sorry.” She said under her breath.Easton reached over with one hand and pressed on her knee squeezing it in reassurance. Soon, he turned to the hospital where the caller had told them to go to. It was in the outskirts where Jasmine was participating in a ballet dance. He didn’t even park well when she ran out of the car and rushed to the hospital reception her heart pounding hard in her chest as fear gripped her chest like a powerful vice. “Scarlet Frost. My Daughter uhm, Jasmine Frost was admitted earlier.” Scarlet spoke in
Easton found Scarlet sitting on a wooden bench in the small garden outside the hospital. He walked carefully, avoiding the soft rustle of leaves.“Hey,” Easton said, his voice low but shockingly warm.Scarlet looked up, startled, and then quickly averted her gaze. “Hi,” she responded, her fingers fidgeting with the hem of her sleeve. She glanced at him again, searching his piercing blue eyes for any trace of anger. But his face, as always, was unreadable, leaving her unsure of his mood.She sighed, deciding to speak first. “I’m surprised to see you. I thought… you wouldn’t want to after I went behind your back again.” She paused, gauging his reaction, but he said nothing, waiting for her to continue. “If you must know, it was all Michael’s doing. I just came in with the officers after he texted me. Easton, I know how much—”Before she could finish, Easton leaned in, his hand gently cupping her cheek, and pressed his lips to hers.The kiss was soft but charged, pouring in all the emot
“I asked you a damn question!” The room fell into an unbearable silence as Michael’s question hung in the air. Easton stepped forward, his usual composed demeanor cracking under the weight of his brother’s glare. He glared at Jade who looked like she didn't care about what she had done as long as she won Easton over not knowing this Made him dislike her even more.“Michael, listen to me—” “No!” Michael’s voice thundered, his knuckles whitening as he gripped the arms of his wheelchair. “I don’t want your excuses. I want the truth, Easton. Were you in love with her? Are you still in love with her?” “You know I don't. I grew up with her and was fond of her, but that wasn't love. Common now!” “So you're saying she's below your league but good enough for me?” Micheal raised his brow.Easton’s jaw tightened, his lips pressing into a thin line as he looked between his brother and Jade. He debated telling his brother the truth but was worried that he was too in love and wouldn’t belie
BREAKING NEWS:[HEIR TO BLACK ENTERPRISE WAKES UP AFTER FIVE YEARS AND REUNITES WITH LONG TIME FIANCE JADE ROSS]“It must be true love for her to have waited for so long!”“So dreamy! May this love find me!” “This is like a fairytale come true! Real-life romance!” Scarlet read the comments on the post with a smug look. She knew Jade wasn't a good person, and at the back of her mind, she was worried about Micheal’s choice in a wife. “What has you staring holes into the phone?” A deep voice asked. Scarlet looked up, her brows furrowing in confusion. “Damn girl, am I that easily forgettable?” Dante flashed her one of his perfect smiles. “I'm sorry… I…” Scarlet couldn't remember him because she was drunk at the club when they met. “It's okay, beautiful. You can forget me anytime. I'll always be more than happy to remind you.” He flashed her a perfect white smile, but it only made her raise her eye brow at himSeeing a man of his built and tattooed flashing her a smile made somethin
The tension in the room was suffocating. Scarlet stood near the edge of the room, wringing her hands nervously as Easton paced back and forth. His face was set in a stony expression, but his clenched fists and sharp breaths betrayed the storm brewing inside him.They had rushed Micheal back to the hospital, and it had been a few hours of him being unconscious. Henry and Sky had to stay back and handle the reporters and ensure everything was fine while Easton stayed with Micheal. He asked Scarlet to go home in the meantime, but she refused, saying she would accompany him. “That was so fucking stupid,” Easton finally said, his voice low but seething with restrained anger. He turned to face her, his blue eyes flashing. “No, not just stupid—reckless. What were you thinking, Scarlet?”Scarlet opened her mouth to respond, but the words caught in her throat. She looked down, her lips trembling. “I—I thought it was the right thing to do. I didn’t want—”“You didn’t want?” Easton interru
“Isn't that Micheal?” People whispered among themselves. Jade looked so pale like she had seen a ghost her hands shook as she held her mother's hand. She had just visited him the previous night. Did that mean he could walk right there and then?Oh shit!Micheal smiled at Easton but didn't stop and walked straight towards Scarlet on stage. “It seems you're eager to know how I got into an accident, so I woke up to answer that question myself.” The crowd erupted into murmurs, disbelief written across every face. Jade’s mouth fell open, her confidence crumbling as she stared in shock. Scarlet, however, recovered quickly. A smile tugged at the corner of her lips as tears welled in her eyes. Michael approached the stage. His presence was magnetic, his piercing gaze sweeping over the room before landing on Scarlet. Henry, seated in the front row, turned pale. His breathing quickened, and his hands trembled as realization dawned on him. He tried to stand, but his knees buckled. With
Henry kept his gaze where his son was standing. Too stunned to speak. He knew Easton was angry with him and blamed him for his mother's death, but he was never disrespectful to him.Worse off, he couldn't do anything about it because he blamed himself too. “I've never seen such hatred in his eyes, and believe me, he has always looked at me with hatred since she passed.” He whispered, knowing Amanda was now standing behind him.“Give him time, and you need to apologize. Stop provoking him with every chance you get.” Amanda pointed out.Henry ran a hand down his face, feeling defeated and not knowing what to say. “Come on. Scarlet it about to give a speech.” Henry nodded as he walked back to his seat, where Jade was typing furiously on her phone. The moment she saw Henry, she looked up with a fake smile on her face. Henry, having too much on his mind, didn't even acknowledge her as he took his seat. Back behind the curtains, a nervous Scarlet was moving back and forth, trying to c
The day finally arrived. The venue was buzzing with anticipation as Easton escorted Scarlet to her seat. Important people from various businesses, top models, billionaires e.t.c were all present for the biggest fashion show of the century. A number of media houses were stationed outside as only a few were given access to the main event. Scarlet walked in wearing a striking red jumpsuit that turned every head in the room. The outfit was bold yet elegant, with a fitted top that dipped into a deep neckline, balanced by delicate beadwork running down the sides. The legs of the jumpsuit flared just enough to graze her gold stiletto heels. Her hair was swept into a loose bun, with soft curls escaping to frame her face, giving her a relaxed yet classy look. She kept her accessories simple—a pair of gold earrings and a sleek bracelet that complemented the outfit perfectly. Scarlet looked effortlessly powerful, her outfit a perfect reflection of her confidence and creativity as a desig
“You cracked a bit too early. I was starting to enjoy hitting you.” A smile stretched Scarlet's lips as she leaned back In the chair. She sat across from Lillian, her posture relaxed yet the air tense. Lilian was shocked to see this side of Scarlet.She tilted her head, letting her gaze sweep over Lillian's bloody and bruised face. A smirk tugged at her lips as she leaned forward, her voice dripping with disdain. “You think Jade gives a shit about you?” Scarlet began her tone sharp and cutting. “Whatever she promised you—it was a lie. You ruined a dead woman’s legacy, all for what? To prove some sick loyalty? You’re pathetic, Lillian. No scratch that. You're full of shit.” Lillian flinched at the venom in Scarlet’s words, but Scarlet wasn’t done. “And let me swear something to you. The moment you step into that jail, she will have you killed. Just like Alison went. Maybe you’ll get lucky and it’ll be poison.” Scarlet laughed, a cold, hollow sound that sent chills down Lillian’s
