“Hello?” Scarlet answered, hoping it was a mistake. “I really hoped I wouldn’t have to speak to you again.” The voice drawled, coldly.“The feeling is mutual. What do you want?” Scarlet asked, feeling like she was carrying burdens on her shoulders. “You know exactly what I want. Your hands must be full, so let's not waste each other's time.” “Last time you promised me you wouldn't force him to get involved yet a month didn't even pass and you dragged him right back to hell.” Scarlet seethed. “Shhhhhhhh” a voice behind her whispered harshly. Scarlet mouthed an apology and walked out of her workplace and took an elevator to the rooftop. “You're pretty dense, aren't you? You caused this. You messed up my family and now you want to turn my son against me. Is that your plan? To ruin my family?”“I don't think the mess you have with your son is my fault. Just man up and fix your relationships. The deal was for me to leave Easton so you wouldn't bother his freedom. I know you forced hi

. “I traced it. The name of the reporter behind the malicious article is Alison Kane. She works for The Daily Post.” Kai announced to Easton black.It had been hours since he walked out on Scarlet and his mind still hadn’t settled. He was wrong all this time? Why hadn’t he sensed the lie?Guilt gripped him like a vice as he wondered if Micheal would have been alive had he not easily given up on Scarlet.“We were supposed to meet.” Scarlet’s voice echoed in his mind. “But he didn’t show up. He sent me a text.” The words kept echoing in his mind like a loop.That wasn’t like Micheal. If there was one thing he was, it was noble, and never broke his promises. So if he had changed his mind then he would have still met her and told her in person unless….“Sir?” Kai called him, breaking his line of thought.“Hmmm?” Easton responded, looking up.“Is something bothering you?” Kai asked.“No. Yes. But I’ll tell you about it later. Did you find what I asked you to?” He threaded his fingers as he

“So,” Easton began, his voice calm but dripping with menace, “you’re the mastermind behind this little fiasco?” His piercing gaze bore into Jade as if he could see every lie she had ever told. Jade froze in place, her laughter dying instantly as Easton’s imposing figure stepped into the room. The icy coldness of his presence was suffocating, and Alison, standing behind him, avoided her gaze and kept her eyes on the floor.“Easton.” Jade forced a laugh. “I didn’t know you were visiting today. You could have just called me, and I would have come over."“How nice of you.” Easton responded sarcastically before turning to Alison, “Here we are, I want Jade to hear the great news you shared with us a few minutes ago.”Alison’s face paled, and she swallowed as she responded, “She was the one who gave me the tip and the pictures to post.”“Whose pictures, Alison?” Easton asked. Jade glared at Alison in warning but Alison had to pick her enemy and Easton wasn’t an option. “Scarlet Frost.”Ea

Jade wiped the tears from her cheeks, her body trembling—not from fear, but from a seething rage bubbling inside her.Alison betrayed her. She clenched her hands into fists itching to make Alison pay but had to wait for her father to speak. “Why are you here, Dad?” She asked. Her father, James, stood at the far end of the room, his hands clasped behind his back, his expression twisted with disgust. He spun on his heel and glared at her, his voice like ice."You are a disgrace, Jade," he hissed. "You’ve had every advantage, every resource handed to you, and yet you’re still incapable of achieving the one thing I asked of you: securing Easton Black."Jade straightened, her fists clenching. "I didn’t see you lifting a damn finger to help me! All you ever do is criticize and throw orders like you’re some puppet master. Maybe if you actually did something—""Shut up!" James’s voice thundered through the room, silencing her instantly. He stepped closer, his face inches from hers, his sne

“You seem like you’ve seen a ghost, Mrs. Johnson! Is it a shock to you that I have a daughter?” Easton stood to his full height with Jasmine in his arms. “What? No! No..” Mrs Johnson laughed nervously, “It’s just that her skin-”“Her mother is brown-skinned, so she takes after her. Not that it’s any of your business.” Easton drawled.“Of course! Of course, my apologies. Mr. Black.But if I may? Why is she registered as Jasmine Frost?” The old woman was still shaking and her voice sounded like she was standing in cold weather making her shiver while she spoke.Instead of responding to her question, he turned to Jasmine, “Why are your eyes red? Did something happen?”Jasmine nodded, “They put me out of today’s performance because-”“Mr. Black, If I may.” Mrs Johnson jumped in before Jasmine could finish, “You see, the board was concerned with the articles about her mother..uhm.” She paused, “You know the one where she was arrested and other things! Of course, I didn’t believe it but you

The meeting has been canceled. Mr. Black is in another meeting.” Kai announced. Everyone exchanged looks, wondering what was going on. Easton never missed meetings. In fact, he was the first to arrive so this was new and strange. “It must be something serious or important for him to miss a meeting.” Amanda said while standing up. Everyone followed suit, and soon Scarlet was left alone in the boardroom. That was when she looked up from her documents. She dialed Aria’s number, who declined and sent a text instead. ARIA: [ Jasmine is about to go on stage. Talk later.]“Maybe if I rush there, I can make it in time!” Scarlet mumbled as she grabbed her things and ran out of the boardroom. Scarlet's heels clicked against the polished floor as she hurried down the hallway, her heart pounding in her chest. She had never been late to any of Jasmine’s events before, and the thought of missing her daughter’s big moment made her stomach churn. This was her first big performance, and she did

“What do you think you're doing? Is this some stupid joke to you?” Scarlet fumed.“Scarlet-” Easton began, but she cut him off.“I told you she's not your daughter! Do you want DNA to prove it? I can gladly give you a strand of her hair. That's a five year old, and you're starting to confuse her! Leave her alone. What goes on between us ends there. She's off limits!” Scarlet let it all out in one breath. “Why can't I be a part of her life too? I don't care if she's my blood or not. As long as she's your daughter, I wanna be a part of it.” Easton shrugged, but his behavior only confused her even more. What the hell was wrong with him?She expected him to call her a whore. Call her out on how she must have spread her legs for more money but here he was saying things that made no fucking sense. Reaching over on her tiptoes, she stretched her arm so the back of her hand could feel his temperature. Maybe he was hallucinating. As her hand lingered against Easton’s forehead, he furrowed

“You're insane if you think I'm going to accept that.” Sky crossed her arms as she looked at her brother while avoiding Scarlet. Scarlet was also against the idea but Easton insisted. Aria had to travel for work and he refused to leave Jasmine with Aisha, the nanny. He had security concerns after her Kidnapping and wasn't going to take a chance. “You really don't have to.” Scarlet stepped in. “I'm sorry for bothering you, Easton-”“Just tell me one thing,” Sky cut her off. “Anything,” Scarlet responded. “Okay, I'll go and pick up my princess from school, you enjoy your girl time,” Easton announced as he left. They both waited until he shut the door before turning to face each other. Sky had taken a break from work since her secret Was out that she was actually the only daughter of the Black family. Easton suggested they leave Jasmine with her because he trusted her with his life and she would be safe. “Did you hurt my brothers? Cause one's accident and cause the other one a

“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.
