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

“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

“Jasmine! This is not your father!” Scarlet.was horrified as she peeled her off Easton. “But I heard you that night when you were talking with Aunt Aria-” “Woah! Okay, big girl. We gotta Go!” Aria pulled her softly When they were out of earshot, Easton turned to Scarlet, “Who is the father?”Scarlet met his eyes, her expression blank but her tone colder than ice. “It’s none of your business.”Easton’s jaw clenched, his hands curling into fists at his sides. He stared at her for a long, suffocating moment, the muscles in his jaw twitching. Without another word, he turned on his heel and walked away, his footsteps echoing like thunder in the heavy silence.Scarlet watched him go, her chest tight as she exhaled a shaky breath. “What a mess,” she whispered to herself before forcing her feet to move toward the car.“Shoot me now!” Scarlet leaned her head against the headrest.“Mama?” Jasmine’s soft voice pulled her back, making her turn to face her.“Yes, baby?”“Are you mad at me?” J

“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.
