“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

Easton Kade Black, CEO of Black Enterprise, sat in his chair, Ocean blue eyes giving nothing away as he listened to Kai present to him the biggest plan of the quarter.“This fashion design competition, sir, will be the talk of the town for a long time. It will also gain us many followers as we stream the final day because we’ve designed it to attract a wide pool of fresh, innovative designers to work with us. The publicity we will generate will be like nothing we have seen so far.” Kai continued, pushing his round reading glasses up the bridge of his nose.Easton listened attentively, his long fingers drumming against the table. “Go on.” He urged Kai who nodded and gave Amanda a go-ahead to present her part of the plan. The rest of the employees followed keenly as they waited anxiously to see his reaction. Easton was extremely picky and he usually left his right hand, Kai, to review most of the plans and only present to him final drafts due to how busy his schedule was.But for som

“Mama, this is beautiful!” Jasmine’s eyes brightened as she looked at the dress Scarlet was holding up.“You think so?” Scarlet smiled, her heart warming at her little cheerleader. Jasmine nodded vigorously, her brown eyes widening even more, “Your clothes are always the best!”‘Hopefully, my clients love them too. We really need the money.’ Scarlet thought internally as she smiled at her daughter walking up to her and kissing her head before walking back to her sewing machine.Scarlet spent the hours that followed focused on making more and more designs so she could sell them at a cheaper price to help their financial situation. She had just placed the piece she was working on, on the table when her phone vibrated and her heart froze.Fear gripped her as she wondered if it was her Landlord again, ‘But it’s only been a day.’ She mumbled to herself as she watched the phone ring, afraid of checking the ID.“Mama? Your phone is ringing.” Jasmine pointed out.Scarlet sighed, as she lean

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
