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

Scarlet paced her living room, biting her nails nervously as she faced the door, hoping Easton would come back or at least tell her where he was going.‘What was that phone call about?” She mumbled as she glanced at the coffee table and picked up her phone. She started to check the contacts so she could call him but realized she didn’t have his number.“Right.” She said with a sigh at the memory of what happened five years ago and why she had to delete his number. Could it be an emergency from home? His brother?Or work?The guessing game was driving Scarlet crazy, as she realized so much had changed between them, and she knew nothing about the new Easton.Letting out a frustrated sigh, she walked over to the table and covered the untouched food before grabbing her keys and phone so she could pick Jasmine up.Later that night, Scarlet kept staring at her phone hoping she’d get a call from him but dismissed the possibility of him calling.“Maybe he also doesn’t have my number?” She mu

Scarlet stood frozen in Easton’s office, her ears ringing from his cold tone. The way he spoke to her and the look in his eyes wasn’t the Easton she once knew. He wasn’t the man she fell in love with. Yesterday she thought they were progressing as they spent more time together but she was wrong. She wanted to leave and never look back but stayed glued to the spot.“Miss Frost,” Kai called her. “Please let’s excuse Mr. Black. He wants to be alone.”“Where did you run to yesterday? Is everything okay?” She asked instead, ignoring both Kai and the nagging voice at the back of her head screaming at her to leave him alone.Easton didn’t answer.“Easton!” She called, her voice loud making him look up, “Answer me and I’ll be out of your hair. You look different from how you were yesterday.” “Kai,” Easton warned.“No.” Scarlet stepped closer.“You’re disturbing my work, Miss Frost. Get out!” Easton spat.“Answer me or I’ll keep standing here until you answer me. Otherwise, Just have your me

She didn’t know much about their relationship but from how she looked, she could tell she was a rich spoiled kid. “You’ll never be good enough for my son!” The words echoed in her mind sending a stab straight to her heart.Maybe he finally found someone worthy to be by his son's side."Ignore those little twats!” A voice pulled her out of her deep thought.A part of her wished it was Victoria and Lilian troubling her mind because it would be easier to sort out, unlike the mess with Easton.She looked up to see Sky and Jules standing by her desk, mischievous smiles on their faces like there was something they were talking about."Don’t listen to those jealous losers," Jules said, leaning against the desk."Exactly," Sky added, plopping into the chair next to her. "They’re just mad they can’t be as fabulous and talented as you."Scarlet managed a weak smile. "Thanks, guys. But I really just want to focus on work right now."Sky’s eyes lit up with an idea. "Nope. What you need is a night

“This feels so good! You guys were right! I needed this.” Scarlet screamed through the loud music as she felt the alcohol buzz in her veins, loosening her up as she allowed herself to let go. For a moment, she forgot about Easton, Jade, and everything else weighing her down.After tucking in Jasmine and Aria insisting on sleeping over, she was able to freely have fun without worrying about her daughter.The bass thumped through the club, as the girls danced to the beat.Aria had insisted that she go out. Seeing her friend do nothing but try to survive all her life made her happy that she was trying to loosen up for once. She promised to sleep over and watch Jasmine so she wouldn’t worry since Aisha, the nanny was new and yet to be fully trusted. “I’m always right girl! Take a look at Grace.” Sky giggled as Scarlet followed where she was showing her and her jaw dropped to the floor.The uptight Grace was so drunk that she danced the night away.“Let’s join the dance floor!” Jules insi

“What do you mean he’s been avoiding you? My brother loves you, Scarlet.” Sky placed the bubble tea on the table as she joined Scarlet at their booked table. “Yeah, and everyone knows that.” Jules pointed out.“I mean the man did trap you with a contract to keep his eyes on you. That’s love.” Aria added when Sky rolled her eyes.“That’s a crime, Aria. Not Love.” “Speak for yourself, woman!” She argued right before Scarlet leaned back with a small smile on her face as she watched the three women who had now become a huge part of her life.“I’m not doubting his love guys but I’m just feeling like we are drifting apart. Ever since-”“Danielle came back?” Sky raised her eyebrow.Scarlet sighed. “It’s been two months since they promised each other God knows what. I may sound jealous and honestly, I don’t care if I do but he doesn’t seem the same anymore. He always avoids me at work.”“Because you’re both busy now. You’re now in charge of four huge fashion houses under Black, Scarlet.” Sk

“What do you mean?” Easton asked, feeling like his ability to hear clearly had vanished into thin air. His body ached and he felt dizzy as he laid down on the bed. It had been a few hours since he woke up and Danielle let his family visit him before asking them to leave so they could run more tests but initially she already knew what was wrong with him.Danielle sighed, “You have a clot in your brain, Eazzy. When last did you do a full body medical check up?”“I haven’t had the time Danielle. Just like I don’t have the time to be sick in bed. Micheal is not fully recovered so I have to work until his better.” He started to push the cover off him but Danielle stood and covered him“Easton, this is very serious and I can’t let you leave. The clot has turned into a tunour and it has very serious side effects, so I have to run more tests. As for the company let someone else run it.”Easton froze, his whole being not making a single move as he looked at her like she had grown two heads.

“What? Do I now get your attention?” Dante smirked, his brown eyes full of mischief Scarlet froze. Her grip on the flowerpot tightened as Dante’s words sank in.“My real parents?” she repeated her voice barely a whisper. The anger in her eyes was quickly replaced by shock and suspicion.Dante stood, his towering frame making the kitchen feel even smaller. He dusted off his jacket, his tattooed arms flexing casually as he took a step toward her. He was a good-looking man that was a fact she couldn’t deny. But there was something about him that told her not to trust him.Was it the constant warning of Easton warning her to stay away from him that was burning in her brain?“Yeah. You heard me,” he said, his tone nonchalant like he didn’t just drop a bomb on her. “Thought you’d want to know, but maybe I was wrong.” He stood and walked towards the door. Scarlet’s heart raced, torn between the overwhelming need to protect her daughter upstairs and the temptation to hear what Dante had to

“Easton!” Daniella screamed, losing her composure in the process. She held him in her hands while his head rested on her lap as she shouted for him to wake up. But he wasn't responding and his tall frame became even heavier as his eyes rolled to the back of his head. Seeing this made Danielle look around and scream for help. “Someone get a stretcher!” Danielle shouted. Her hands moved instinctively, checking his pulse and then his breathing. Both were weak, far too weak for someone who was standing so perfectly well and talking. Nurses and other doctors rushed to the scene.Six male nurses appeared with a stretcher, and together, they carefully lifted a heavy Easton onto it. His usually flawless skin was now pale and his lips a little white like someone gave him white soil to chew on.“What happened-” One doctor attempted to ask when she cut him off. “VIP room, now!” Danielle barked. The hospital staff obeyed without hesitation, wheeling Easton into the nearest elevator. Daniell

“Mr. Black? You look shocked. Were you unaware?” The doctor asked.“Doctor. That’s not important! Can we find a donor or do I have to outsource? She may not be my blood, but she is my whole world. I can’t lose her.” Scarlet interrupted him.“I understand, I’ll check through our records for her blood type.” The doctor announced and walked away leaving them just the two of them.“I know you must be angry. But I did tell you she wasn’t yours.” Scarlet whispered.Easton didn’t even get a chance to respond when his phone vibrated. It was his long-time childhood friend who was now a doctor. “I have to take this,” he said to Scarlet as he slid right to answer.Scarlet nodded and walked back to the hospital room. “I’m shocked you picked up.” Danielle teased.“It’s good you called. I actually need you to help me with something. My daughter needs a blood transfusion.” Easton said, getting straight to the point.He didn’t expect that she would call but now that she did, he might as well call in

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 a

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 emoti

“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 believ

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.
