“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

“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

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

“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

“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

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’

“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

“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

Scarlet hurried alongside Easton, gripping his hand as they made their way from the parking lot to the auditorium. Her breath came in shallow gasps from their quick pace, and she tugged lightly at his arm. “Easton, slow down,” she said, laughing between breaths. “We’re not late yet.” He glanced at her, his lips curving into a faint smirk. “You’re the one who said you didn’t want to miss anything.” Scarlet rolled her eyes, though her smile lingered as they slowed their steps. She smoothed down her sundress, the soft fabric swishing lightly against her legs as they neared the building. She felt her nerves increase because it had been so long since she was here and it made her heart ache.“I’m such a terrible mother.” She whispered making Easton turn to face her, “Darling, you’re the best mother in the world, and believe me when I say that because I had a wonderful mother. You’ve been through so much shit, so don’t dwell on those feelings. Focus on how much Jas and I love you.” “

Six months later….Scarlet stood before the mirror, adjusting the delicate silver earrings that complimented her beautiful sundress. The soft red fabric hugged her waist perfectly like a corset and slid down her waist until slightly below the knees. For the first time in months, she felt alive—hopeful even. For five months, Scarlet underwent physiotherapy to help her regain her normal self and walk again. The doctors were amazed by her quick recovery, and by the sixth month, she was back to her old self—healthy and able to do everything she used to do. “I’m so excited. It has been so long since I saw my precious angel dancing,” she exclaimed to Easton, who stood behind her watching her retouch her lipstick with his arms crossed on his chest. “You look beautiful,” he said, stepping closer to press a kiss to her temple. “Jasmine’s going to be so happy to see you there.”“I feel like she loves her father more and forgets about me sometimes.” Scarlet teased as Easton slowly trailed

"You look like shit," Scarlet teased weakly, her voice still hoarse but carrying a playful glint. The doctors had checked her and ran through tests. They called her recovery a complete miracle because despite the pain. She could feel it when they touched her feet and She could move her finger although she couldn't sit or walk yet. Easton chuckled, running a hand through his disheveled hair. "Bullshit. I always look hot." Scarlet's lips twitched upward in the faintest of smiles. "If by hot you mean utterly exhausted and in desperate need of a shower, then sure." "Watch it, Darling," Easton quipped, leaning in closer, his grin softening into something more vulnerable. "I’ve been through hell these past few days. You scared the crap out of me, you know that?" Her smile faltered, replaced by a look of quiet guilt. She opened her mouth to speak, but Easton cut her off gently. "Hey, don’t. None of this is your fault." His thumb brushed over her knuckles, grounding both of them.

...as if the words themselves were choking him. "She’s gone. She has to be alive, Michael. She just has to be." Michael’s jaw tightened, his own emotions threatening to surface as he held his broken brother. "She’s a fighter, Easton. You said it yourself. Now let the doctors do what they can." Time seemed to slow to an agonizing crawl. The muffled voices of the medical team could be heard but it was sounding so far away. "Increase to 300!" "Clear!" "Still no pulse. Again!" Every word was a dagger to Easton’s chest. He sank to the floor, his knees giving out completely, and Michael crouched beside him, one arm still firmly around his shoulders. Minutes felt like hours until the door finally opened. The doctor emerged, his expression unreadable but serious. Easton shot to his feet, his hands trembling as he grabbed the doctor’s arm. "Is she—did you—" He couldn’t finish the sentence. The doctor sighed, exhaustion evident in his face. "We managed to stabilize her. She’s

Aria was about to argue with him but knew he wasn't in his right mind so it was no use arguing with him. “Fine. I'll be back later tonight.”Easton nodded at that. More days passed and Scarlet remained unresponsive. They left meals outside the door, most of which went untouched. Kai brought him clean clothes, but Easton barely acknowledged him. The room became his world, the beeping of the machines a cruel reminder of the fragile thread holding her to him. Every night was the same. He sat by her side, whispering things only she could hear, his voice breaking at times. Promises. Apologies. Desperate prayers. Tears. Pleas. And every morning, he woke in the chair, stiff and aching, only to start the cycle again. Days blurred into weeks, but Easton didn’t care. Until she woke up, this was where he belonged. This was where he would stay. ……. Easton stirred awake in the chair, his neck stiff and his body aching from another sleepless night. He stretched his sore limbs, his

“What do you mean by that?” Sky stepped forward her heart pounding hard in her chest. She looked at her brothers whose focus was on the doctor and panicked. She feared what he would say would ruin her brother's life forever. “Good news.” Easton’s Voice echoed through the Vip hall. The doctor nodded. Removing his mask as he faced the people standing before him.“She’s alive,” the doctor began, his tone light and calm. “That’s the good news.” He paused, eyes scanning Easton’s face, searching for a reaction. “But she’s unresponsive. The machines are keeping her breathing. The bullet grazed her spine and caused significant damage. We’ve done everything we can... but it will take a miracle for her to wake up. And if she does...” He hesitated, the weight of the words heavy in the air. “The chances of her walking again are slim to none.” Easton’s face remained unreadable, but the storm in his eyes spoke volumes.“Can I see her?” He asked. “Well, yes but-” He ignored whatever the docto
Trapped By The Cold-Hearted Billionaire Chapter 91 ~ A bullet for you
“No!” Easton's voice cried in pain as the bullet that was meant for him hit Scarlet. The moment Scarlet walked towards Easton, Dante lost it and wanted to risk it all. Kill the one person he couldn't defeat and kill himself too. But to his shock, Scarlet ran forward and took the bullet for him. "Get down!" Voices of chaos echoed in the church as people began to scream and panic not knowing where to go. Easton blinked, hoping he had just imagined it but unfortunately for him, it was real. “Baby, please, please.” He pleaded as she wobbled into his arms. “Scarlet!” Matilda screamed as she rushed over.Dante still had a shocked expression as he watched Scarlet slide down in Easton's arms. He never wanted to hurt her. She was his key after all. "Drop the gun or we shoot!" One man shouted over the noise.Dante remained unmoving with the gun in his hand. Another one of Easton's men rushed forward and grabbed the gun from his hand. But he didn't get a chance to react because men were p

The church fell silent, and everyone remained glued to their seats. No one dared to move, and everyone held their breaths. Scarlet’s heart raced, her palms sweaty as she stared at him, standing there like he owned the world even in a hospital gown.Her mind went wild, and she couldn't for the life of her understand what came over him. Her father was now standing, looking at Scarlet waiting to hear from her. “Security !” Dante growled. But no one dared to move. No one would dare lay a finger on Easton black. They remained stationed, and this angered Dante even more. Easton smirked as he walked forward. “Scarlet, Darling. ” Easton began, his voice soft and pleading, “I know I’ve messed up before. I know I’ve hurt you in ways I’ll never forgive myself for. But I can’t let you go through with this. Not when I love you.”Gasps rippled through the crowd, followed by a hushed buzz of murmurs. Dante’s lips twisted into a sardonic smile, his composure beginning to crack.“Love?” Dante’s
