SCARLETTBlake’s arm remained roped through mine when we finally made it past the sea of paparazzi and into the main hall.The live streaming shows I’d watched of the Moxie fundraiser did it no justice. It was the same venue every year, but some of the places I’d just spotted have never been shown on camera, the entire place was exquisite and flowing with rich people and celebrities I’d never dreamed of seeing this close.“Blake Vaughn? Who would’ve thought!” A woman in her thirties that could pass as a teenager because of her skimpy dress greeted Blake, ogling him openly.“Mrs. Chauncey, what a lovely surprise,” he shook her hand then turned to me, “this is Scarlett, a new addition to our family and my esteemed date for the night.”I reached out to shake her and she scrutinized me with a razor gaze while only shaking the tip of my red manicured nails.She talked Blake’s ear off, touching his chest at intervals and laughing like he was a stage clown when he barely said anything funny.

SCARLETTShame became anger, and my eyes suddenly darted at the person whose fault my current predicament was.Alex.“I can’t go back in because your scent is all over me, thank you,” I blurted angrily, my teeth gritted in annoyance.An amused look danced in his eyes as he unlocked the latch, looking sinfully handsome and put together despite having turned me into a whimpering mess mere seconds ago.“Why’re you so scared of people finding out about your true self? Don't you get sick of playing pretend?” his only pleasure was derived from taunting me, I hated it, “you're not fooling anyone, anyways.”I was so pissed that I could feel smoke coming out of my ears as I glared at him. But before I could think up a retort, he’d walked out the door and slammed it shut like he didn't care for my response.“Ugh!!!” I groaned angrily as I thought of a way out.There was no way I could return to the event reeking of Alex like we’d been merged, flesh and blood. Yeah, no fucking way!I dragged in

SCARLETTThe auctions for the ladies was over in the next ten minutes, and no one else got a quarter of the bids I received. The lights went out and we were led towards the next hall where the auction for artworks was meant to take place and I immediately started to scan the entire place for Blake, I needed to share the shock pulsing through me with someone else.“Hey star girl,” a tap on my shoulder indicated that Blake had beaten me to the chase and found me first.He was holding two glasses of red wine and I quickly reached for one and gobbled about half of the contents before letting out a sigh.“Thank you, I needed that,” I chuckled softly when he smiled and nodded, “I still feel like that auction was a dream and I needed something to drag me back to reality.”“It wasn’t a dream, sweetheart, you’re definitely worth every dime that was auctioned for you,” he was looking at me like he believed every word he’d just uttered with an unwavering conviction.Maybe it was the liquor, but

LOGANA whiff of lavender woke me, and when I looked down at the precious woman in my arms, I couldn’t help but smile broadly.After a hectic day at the office and the bustle of the Moxie fundraiser, I decided that the best way for us both to get a good night’s rest would be to sleep in each other’s arms so we headed back to Ashley’s apartment after the event.I hadn’t slept this well in forever, and it seemed the same could be said for Ashley.Normally, she’d have sent me a good morning text at this time, but now she was sleeping soundly in my arms like she didn’t have a single care in the world.Even asleep, she was a marvelous sight. Her ginger hair looked stunning scattered all around her, the sunlight peeking through the window made her freckled nose appear unbelievably adorable, her thick lashes framed her gorgeous eyes and her plump rosy lips enthralled me as she parted them while snoring lightly.The more I stared, the more I realized the unbreakable hold she had on my heart.

ALEXI couldn't believe my ears.Somehow, I’d stumbled on the most awkward conversation while walking past Scarlett’s room earlier today. I could've left, but I leaned against the railing and tuned into the conversation, mostly to gather more proof that I was right about her and her mother’s wretched intentions.But instead, I ended up confused.When her mother suggested that she meet up with Micheal, I’d expected her to immediately jump at the offer. Especially because he was one of the most eligible bachelors that doubled as a billionaire and women were constantly dying for a chance to meet him. Even Maeve had a fleeting obsession with him before we started fucking.So, it was completely mind boggling that Scarlett hadn't heard of him before and even after her mother spelt out what he was worth, she still refused to meet with him.None of it made sense, mostly because her mother made her gold digging personality very obvious in the way she flaunted dad’s riches here and there.
