Scarlet froze, totally caught off guard by the sight of Easton standing in front of her, barely covered by the towel slung low on his hips. Her eyes moved over Easton without meaning to.He stood there, the towel hanging low around his waist, barely covering him. The towel rested just above his hips, and water droplets were slowly rolling down his well-defined chest and abs. Some of the droplets slid lower, disappearing into the towel, leaving very little to the imagination. As he moved, his muscles tightened, and the water drops shimmered on his skin, disappearing into the lines of his body. Scarlet felt her heart race, trying to focus, but the sight of him was hard to ignore.He must have been a Greek God in his past life. Because how could he look so… Scarlet shook her head and tried to refocus her mind. She hadn’t prepared to meet him looking so... exposed. Her face flushed, a mix of embarrassment and frustration creeping up her cheeks as her eyes betrayed her, flickering to t

Scarlet had been completely caught off guard by the sudden kiss. It was nothing like she remembered. His kiss was hard, full of anger, yet there was a hint of something else—something familiar. He cupped her face, his thumb brushing her cheek making her moan which gave him access to her tongue. The kiss was demanding, fierce, and all-consuming. Like a spell, she couldn't break away from. His touch ignited something deep inside her. It was like her entire body was on fire making her lose all control as her hands found their way to his chest, the smoothness of his skin sending a rush of heat through her fingertips as his firm muscles flexed beneath her touch. A thrill of desire shot through her, and she felt her body responding, her nipples hardened and her heart raced, She had planned to resist, to push him away, but the moment he kissed her, it was like her body betrayed her. She couldn’t stop herself from responding, even as her mind screamed at her to break free.Easton, too

Jade's nails dug into her palms as she watched the repeat of the competition broadcast on her TV. She stood from her couch and almost jumped into the TV the moment she saw Easton walk up to Scarlet and present the prize to her.She could see how he easily recognized her even though she wore so much makeup. Jealousy burned in her chest as she felt like she had already lost him to Scarlet.He was supposed to humiliate and ruin her, not award her with $300,000!‘She must have manipulated him!’ A voice came and Jade immediately agreed because there was no way this would happen!“How shameless is this bitch?” She screamed as she grabbed a glass from the coffee table and hurled it across the room, watching it shatter against the wall. Servants came rushing into the living room to make sure she wouldn’t hurt herself. “Young Madam, please calm down.” Berth, her assistant and head of security tried to step in when Jade crossed the room in a few strides and landed a hard slap across her face.

“Here is your ID and everything you’ll need. Welcome to Black!” Amanda said to Scarlet as she slid the brown envelope across the table.“Thank you, Miss Lane,” Scarlet responded with a shy smile but Amanda leaned back in her chair, waving her off. “Call me Amanda.” “Oh... I don’t think..”“Scarlet, we will be together for a long time. Just call me Amanda. I insist.” Amanda responded with a straight face. She was the head of programs and a very serious woman. Everyone feared her and none dared to cross her. She was so thick-skinned that she was able to take whatever Easton lashed at them with a straight face. But somehow, she already had a weak spot for Scarlet.“Thank you, Amanda, “ Scarlet took the envelope and stood before excusing herself so she could start her first day.Scarlet was so nervous as she looked around. She was an orphan who never went to any school or college. All her designs were self-taught and she was afraid of making a mistake knowing Easton would eat her alive.

Easton was working overtime and was about to drive off when he saw a woman bending over to remove her heels. He was about to drive away when he saw the hair and instantly knew it was Scarlet even though her face wasn’t visible.He’d recognize her anywhere.It was almost like he subconsciously felt her presence before his eyes landed on her. “What the fuck are you doing Easton? She’s your enemy!” He muttered under his breath as he tapped the steering wheel and debated his next move. He hated how he felt the pull to get her out of the rain. “I just want her healthy so I can punish her. How can I get my revenge when she’s sick?” He reasoned with the voice at the back of his head and drove towards her. Easton slowed down his car as he approached her, watching as Scarlet struggled against the downpour, her heels clutched in one hand, trying to shield her bag with her jacket. Rain drenched her hair, the loose curls plastered to her face and neck, he was about to step out and cover her

The next morning, Jade hurried into Easton’s office, her heart racing with a mix of jealousy and anger. She had spent the night replaying their conversation, wondering why he’d dismissed her concerns so easily, and now she was determined to get answers. She was about to walk into the elevator when her gaze landed on Scarlet, her mood worsening as she turned to face Victoria and Lilian, “What is she doing here?”The ladies exchanged glances, but that annoyed Jade even more.“Do I have to repeat myself?”“We were working outside the office yesterday, so we don’t know what happened,” Victoria explained but that made Jade fume even more.“You two never know anything! Get out, I want to ride alone.” She spat and the two walked out hurriedly.When she reached Easton’s office, she was taken aback to see Easton reviewing sketches, designs spread out on his desk. But what was more shocking was the sight of Scarlet’s name on the folder in front of him.Why was he reviewing her work personally?

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,”

“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

May this love find me!” “This is like a fairytale come true! Real-life romance!” Scarlet read the comments on the post with a smug look. 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. You can forget me anytime. I'll always be more than happy to remind you.” He flashed her a perfect white smile, but it only made her raise her eye brow at himSeeing a man of his built and tattooed flashing her a smile made something
