Jade's nails dug into her palms as she watched the repeat of the competition broadcast on her TV. She stood from her couch and almost jumped into the TV the moment she saw Easton walk up to Scarlet and present the prize to her.She could see how he easily recognized her even though she wore so much makeup. Jealousy burned in her chest as she felt like she had already lost him to Scarlet.He was supposed to humiliate and ruin her, not award her with $300,000!‘She must have manipulated him!’ A voice came and Jade immediately agreed because there was no way this would happen!“How shameless is this bitch?” She screamed as she grabbed a glass from the coffee table and hurled it across the room, watching it shatter against the wall. Servants came rushing into the living room to make sure she wouldn’t hurt herself. “Young Madam, please calm down.” Berth, her assistant and head of security tried to step in when Jade crossed the room in a few strides and landed a hard slap across her face.

“Here is your ID and everything you’ll need. Welcome to Black!” Amanda said to Scarlet as she slid the brown envelope across the table.“Thank you, Miss Lane,” Scarlet responded with a shy smile but Amanda leaned back in her chair, waving her off. “Call me Amanda.” “Oh... I don’t think..”“Scarlet, we will be together for a long time. Just call me Amanda. I insist.” Amanda responded with a straight face. She was the head of programs and a very serious woman. Everyone feared her and none dared to cross her. She was so thick-skinned that she was able to take whatever Easton lashed at them with a straight face. But somehow, she already had a weak spot for Scarlet.“Thank you, Amanda, “ Scarlet took the envelope and stood before excusing herself so she could start her first day.Scarlet was so nervous as she looked around. She was an orphan who never went to any school or college. All her designs were self-taught and she was afraid of making a mistake knowing Easton would eat her alive.

Easton was working overtime and was about to drive off when he saw a woman bending over to remove her heels. He was about to drive away when he saw the hair and instantly knew it was Scarlet even though her face wasn’t visible.He’d recognize her anywhere.It was almost like he subconsciously felt her presence before his eyes landed on her. “What the fuck are you doing Easton? She’s your enemy!” He muttered under his breath as he tapped the steering wheel and debated his next move. He hated how he felt the pull to get her out of the rain. “I just want her healthy so I can punish her. How can I get my revenge when she’s sick?” He reasoned with the voice at the back of his head and drove towards her. Easton slowed down his car as he approached her, watching as Scarlet struggled against the downpour, her heels clutched in one hand, trying to shield her bag with her jacket. Rain drenched her hair, the loose curls plastered to her face and neck, he was about to step out and cover her

The next morning, Jade hurried into Easton’s office, her heart racing with a mix of jealousy and anger. She had spent the night replaying their conversation, wondering why he’d dismissed her concerns so easily, and now she was determined to get answers. She was about to walk into the elevator when her gaze landed on Scarlet, her mood worsening as she turned to face Victoria and Lilian, “What is she doing here?”The ladies exchanged glances, but that annoyed Jade even more.“Do I have to repeat myself?”“We were working outside the office yesterday, so we don’t know what happened,” Victoria explained but that made Jade fume even more.“You two never know anything! Get out, I want to ride alone.” She spat and the two walked out hurriedly.When she reached Easton’s office, she was taken aback to see Easton reviewing sketches, designs spread out on his desk. But what was more shocking was the sight of Scarlet’s name on the folder in front of him.Why was he reviewing her work personally?

Scarlet entered the private lounge, maintaining a composed smile despite her nerves. A part of her knew the client she was about to meet had something going on but she didn’t know what. She wore her curls down today, a white pencil skirt, a pink smart shirt, and boyfriend shoes since she had to take a bus.Grace refused to organize her taxi saying it was a waste because it wasn’t so far but Scarlet was glad she decided to change her shoes because it wasn’t exactly, ‘Near.’ Her client, Mr. Grant, an older man, with wrinkles and yellow teeth with a smirk that didn’t quite reach his eyes, was seated on a plush armchair, sipping his drink. His gaze weirdly roamed over her as she approached, but she forced herself to stay professional.She hadn’t met him before so she wasn’t entirely sure it was him until he called out to her,“Miss Frost, come in, come in!” he called, gesturing to the chair beside him.“Thank you,” Scarlet responded wondering how he knew it was her since they were meetin

"Hi, sweetheart," Scarlet answered softly... Jasmine’s small voice chirped from the other end, "Mama, when are you coming home? You’ve been working so late lately, and… I miss you."Scarlet’s heart melted, and she smiled, even though her chest ached with guilt. “I know, honey. I miss you too. I promise I’ll try to leave early tomorrow, and… how about a date this weekend, just the two of us?”“Really? Just us?” Jasmine asked excitedly. “Can I get cotton candy? I’ve been a good girl!” She negotiated making Scarlet laugh.She was swamped at her desk working overnight again.It was like Grace was unto her peace and would load her with swamps of work the moment that knocking off time was near.Her hair was tied up in a messy bun, with some strands dropping. She was barefoot, with her jacket off, leaving her with only her smart shirt, which had the first top buttons opened. She leaned back in the chair with her eyes closed as she spoke to Jasmine. “Yes, really. We’ll go wherever you want,”

One week later….It was friday night and Scarlet was working another late night. From the time she had a conversation with Easton, her work trippled and she was barely able to keep up with Grace breathing down her neck during the day.Scarlet dragged herself through yet another late night of work as she cursed Easton for not letting her enjoy herself after work hours. She had received many requests from Easton himself to design suits and dresses for their VIP clients and supervised the process himself. When she submitted the drafts, he would point out stupid errors like the color was wrong, or the buttons were in the wrong place and made her redo one design over five times before moving on to the next.While everyone thought she was extremely lucky for the CEO to ask her to do something personally, she couldn’t help feeling as if Easton’s plan was designed to keep her chained to her desk. The hours seemed endless, her eyelids were heavy as she finished sewing the last buttons of the

Two days later….Easton pulled his Mercedes Maybach EQS to a stop at the underground parking lot. He unbuckled his seat belt and was about to unbuckle Scarlets when he stopped himself midway and cleared his throat instead. “Come.” His voice commanded as he walked to the elevator.“You behave like a grumpy old man sometimes,” Scarlet commented as she ran behind him so she could catch up. It was a weekend, so she wore Jeans and a white T-shirt with sneakers while Easton wore dark jeans and a black smart shirt with his sleeves rolled up showing off his Rolex on his wrist. His hair was roughly combed making him look hot as the dark colors made the sharp contrast against his fair skin, making his ocean-blue eyes appear even more piercing. “Is that why you can’t keep your eyes off me?” He teased as he pressed the elevator button.“You wish!” Scarlet rolled her eyes even though she was biting the inside of her cheeks to hold back her smile. Scarlet stood in stunned silence, still proc

“Do you have a hearing problem, Chief?” Easton raised his brow in question.“Ah- Yes- No. No sir.” He chuckled in embarrassment. “It’s just that I didn’t know we had someone who is important to you in our custody. This employee must be extremely hardworking for you to come down here yourself.” The chief grinned but coughed to mask it when he saw that Easton’s face was as cold as ever.The chief gulped as he adjusted his collar, sweat forming on his forehead. “I… uh… I’ll just check the records, sir. What was the name again?”Easton’s eyes narrowed dangerously. His tone was sharp, like a blade slicing through the room. “Scarlet Frost.”The chief blinked, caught off guard. “Scarlet Frost?” he repeated, his voice rising slightly in confusion. “As in... a woman?”Easton’s jaw tightened, and his gaze darkened further. “Yes, Chief. A woman. Do you have a problem with that?”The chief swallowed hard, realizing he had stepped into a minefield. “No, sir. Absolutely not! I’ll have her released

“She's late!” Easton checked his watch for the fifth time, his jaw tightening with every passing second. Scarlet was never late. Although she was annoyingly punctual, she would complain and have a bad temper, but she was never late. Did she change her mind or did something go wrong? Easton couldn’t help but wonder. He pulled out his phone and redialed her number. It rang once, and twice, then went to voicemail. He paced back and forth. Frustration slowly started to build up.“Maybe she forgot,” Kai commented seeing his boss look like he was about to blow the room up.“She had better not.” He growled. He dialed her number again.Kai, pushed his glasses forward as he looked at the cameras. “Still no answer? Maybe the call she received was urgent.” Kai said, making Easton pause to look at him. “What call?” Kai hesitated.“Kai.”“I don't know. When I met her outside, we joked, then she received a call and rushed out.” “And you're only telling me this now because?”“I didn't thi

“Mummy!” Jasmine giggled as she rushed into Scarlet’s arms. Scarlet kneeled down with her arms open as she smiled at her little angel. “Baby, I missed you so much!” Scarlet held her tightly. The school had called her and she thought there was an issue. But all they wanted was for her to pick her daughter up like every parent because they had returned one day before the day they were scheduled to come back.“I missed you too!” Jasmine giggled as Scarlet lifted her off the ground. “Well, how about some shopping? Mummy got paid and would love to get her princess those pretty dresses she has always wanted.” Scarlet smiled with so much warmth in her heart.She was finally able to afford good things for her daughter after struggling all her life, surviving on one poorly prepared meal a day. It was a miracle that Scarlet wasn’t skinny.“Yay! I knew that competition would make our life better.!” Jasmine teased with a smug look as she jumped into the back seat.Scarlet laughed, remembering

Her gaze drifted back to the designs, each one more beautiful than the last. The room felt sacred, a tribute to a woman she didn’t know but suddenly felt deeply connected to. But as she stepped into the room further, she noticed a pattern she had seen before but couldn’t remember where. “Easton… I don’t know what to say. This… this is beyond words.”“You don’t have to say anything,” he said, his voice quieter now. “You’re the first person I’ve shown this to. I thought… maybe you’d get inspired. I know how much pressure I’ve put you through by throwing this show in your hands..”Her heart softened at his admission, melting the icy wall she’d built around herself after everything they had been through. For a moment, she forgot the tension between them, the arguments, and the pain of their past. She saw a side of him she hadn’t seen in years—one that reminded her of the man she once knew.The man she was hopelessly in love with.Scarlet shook her head, her voice full of emotion. “I don’

“I don’t think being here is a good thing after what just happened.” Scarlet pointed out as she stood in front of Easton.“After what happened?” He asked like he wasn’t present when the chaos was unfolding. Scarlet was about to respond when he cut her off. “Don’t tell me you were offended.” He smirked, “What we had wasn’t a relationship. So I wouldn’t exactly call you my ex.” “What?”“You seem to have a hearing problem lately. Remind Kai to connect you to our doctor. Now come, " he said as he began walking towards the door, but Scarlet remained glued to where she was standing.“Haha. Very funny. You should consider being a part-time comedian. Your jokes are getting better by the day.” Scarlet rolled her eyes.Easton paused. Turning to face her, “Let’s go. Or do you want me to take you on my shoulder?”“You wouldn’t fucking dare.” Scarlet stepped back.“What a foul mouth for a lady,” Easton said, his brows meeting.“What? You can curse and I can’t?” Scarlet raised an eyebrow, “I mean

“Miss Frost is not my ex. I have taste Sky, don't insult me.” Easton said in a cold voice making everyone choke.“Then how do you explain what Jade just said?” Sky fumed. Everyone was quiet and holding their breaths as they watched the scene unfold. Easton placed his hands in his pockets, looking as unbothered as ever, “Jade is delusional from the pain of seeing Micheal remain in that state for five years, so when she heard that I put Scarlet in charge, she assumed she was my ex. Which is ridiculous, not that it's any of your business. ” Easton explained coolly turning to face a pale Jade who knew she had fucked up. “He’s lying! She is the gold-digging slut from five years ago.” Jade fumed. “Kai, take care of this. Miss Frost proceed as earlier discussed,” Easton said and walked away. The security detail walked in to escort Jade out. Her face was red in anger as she walked out. “This isn't over!” she spat, walking away. Scarlet stood frozen on the spot. She should have felt r

Jade stormed into Easton’s office like a hurricane, her heels clicking sharply against the pristine floor. Her fury radiated off her in waves, and the tension in the room thickened as Easton glanced up from his desk, his face cold and impassive.He watched as she stomped in, without bothering to knock, and crossed her arms on her chest. “Easton, how could you?” Jade seethed, her breath laboring. She knew how much he loved his mother. If the show turned out to be successful, Scarlet would have the world on her side. “You gave her the lead? After everything that’s happened? After what she’s done?”Easton leaned back in his chair, exuding a calm that only seemed to infuriate her further. “It's funny how you delude yourself into thinking you have a say in this company or decisions I make,” he replied, his voice a cutting edge of ice. "It must be painful living in delusion all the time.”What?” Jade’s voice cracked as her anger boiled over. “This is about more than just business, Easto

“That is sexual harassment!” Scarlet moved back and crossed her arms on her chest in protection. Easton’s chest vibrated in a chuckle as he stepped closer, a playful glint in his eyes that she hadn’t seen in a very long time. “You’re dirty-minded Scarlet Frost.” He whispered as he stepped closer. Scarlet panicked and was about to walk away when he grabbed her wrist and pinned her to the wall knocking all the air out of her lungs.They were so close that a basic thing like getting air in the lungs turned to hard labor. “Are you scared of me? Or are you scared of what you’d let me do to you?” The smirk stretched on his lips. “Dream on.” Scarlet sneeered which only made Easton’s smirk go wider.He reached for her sweater and began unbuttoning the buttons one by one. Slowly.“Easton…” Scarlet’s voice croaked.“Shhhh…” Easton placed his forefinger on her lips. The kiss they shared a few weeks back flashed before his eyes like a damn reminder.He slowly traced her bottom lip while lookin

“What are you talking about?” A confused Scarlet frowned. Victoria scoffed and stepped into her space, fighting the urge to smack her but she knew it was against the work ethic and would get her fired.“Viky, what have you worked up?” Her colleague asked.“I went to collect the design theme from Amanda but guess what, I’m not the lead designer in this project. Scarlet is! How is that possible?” Victoria fumed. “Technically, she’s more talented than you so that shouldn’t be a shocker,” Sky commented.“Scarlet, is this true?” Grace stepped in, the room which was empty suddenly became full and all eyes were on her. Scarlet had no idea what they were talking about because unlike them who had a pretty good night's sleep, she was kidnapped and fighting for her life. “What project are you talking about?” she asked, her voice laced with confusion and exhaustion.Victoria scoffed, stepping into Scarlet’s space, her frustration barely contained. “You know exactly what I’m talking about,” she
