Chapter 31

It's been three weeks now, and coincidentally, today was the day that Scarlett had her last paper. They had just finished their exam, and students were trooping out in large numbers, meeting in small groups, and chatting excitedly. With smiles on their faces, Scarlett and Nelly walked out of the class hand in hand.“I'm so happy; I can't wait to finally get home! I miss my parents so much.” Nelly giggled, digging around in her purse for her phone, which she successfully pulled out.“Lucky you, I only have one person waiting for me.” Scarlett smiled. Nelly smiled back and then gave her a big hug.“I'm gonna miss you so much! I hope it's okay if I come by your mansion.” “Of course, I'll be happy if you can come over, and even happier if you meet Lily. You both are crazy and will make a perfect match.” Scarlett giggled, disengaging from the hug.They both turned at the same time, only to see Ethan and his crew at the other end of the hallway. Ethan lifted his eyes, and as soon as his ey

“Come on! Let's go get drinks!” Lily grabbed Scarlett's hand, dragging her over to the bar, where they took their seats.“I can't drink too much; remember, tomorrow is my foundation's fundraising day." Scarlett rejected the offer, but Lily rolled her eyes and pushed the cocktail toward her.“A glass won't kill you.” She urged, and Scarlett picked up the drink. As she sipped from it, she looked around, trying to find Adrian, but it was as if he had vanished.Was he really avoiding her to that extent? How long was he going to pretend that nothing happened at his house? Scarlett was uncomfortable about the whole thing.“You know the guy I told you about?” Lily asked, and she turned to look at her, nodding.“His name is Josh, and he's coming here tonight. I told him to bring a friend, so feel free to do whatever you want to the friend.” Lily winked. Scarlett rolled her eyes heavily. She was sure that she wouldn't want anything to do with Josh's so-called friend. It was Adrian that she wa

The harsh rays of the sun hit Scarlett's eyelids, forcing her to squint. She turned over, hugging her pillow and enjoying her sleep when the sudden realization of what day it was made her spring up from the bed.It was the day of her fundraising and she hadn't even rehearsed her speech. She had no idea how she was going to get ready in such a short space of time. She ran into the bathroom to freshen up and then came back into the room and opened her laptop.Scarlett started to go over her speech several times until she became familiar with it. As she was rehearsing, her phone rang and she picked it up only to discover that it was Ethan. She answered the call and placed the phone on her ear.“Hey.” She sighed.“Hi Scarlett, how are you?” He asked.“I'm very well. What about you? You seemed pretty drunk last night and you bailed on me.” She pointed out and he winced.“About that… I'm really sorry for leaving you. It wasn't intentional, I was dragged outside by some crackheads because th

Vivian let out a groan of frustration after calling Adrian for the umpteenth time that night. She was lying on her stomach in her hotel room, horny and needing a dick inside her. She called him again after deciding to give up, and luckily, he answered the call.“Baby. I've been calling you all night. Why haven't you been taking my calls?” She spoke into the phone.“I'm sorry, I've just been so busy at the club. I didn't even hear my phone ringing.” Adrian answered.“Are you done now? I want you to meet me at a hotel. I'll send you the address.” She rushed her words, but he let out a grunt.“I'm afraid I can't make it. I'm still very busy. I'll call you back later.” He quickly hung up, getting Vivian even more upset. She wanted to toss her phone but withheld herself from doing so.She was still horny so she decided to call one of her toys, but his number was equally unreachable. Vivian had made up her mind to be more careful with the men she slept with ever since the incident with Rod

Vivian's eyes widened, she stared at the detective as he had suddenly grown two heads. The shock on her face soon turned into anger as her eyebrows furrowed and her lips curved downwards. She peered at the detective through the roof of her eyes and let out a huff.“Look detective, I didn't kill my husband. I have no hand in his death and I don't know how many times I'm going to have to tell you this!”“Oh really?” Detective Roberts let out a short chuckle and brought out some documents, presenting them before Vivian who seemed uninterested.“Do you know what these are?” He questioned but she rolled her eyes.“How on earth am I supposed to know?” She asked with a smirk dancing on her lips.“This is your card history, showing that you bought those drugs. These were submitted to us recently and we checked them all. What do you have to say about that? Isn't it obvious that you've been caught?” Detective Roberts fired, feeling excited that he had something against her after such a long tim

Scarlett admired her reflection in the mirror after she was done getting ready. She only applied light make-up but she looked stunning. She lifted her black purse off the bed and started heading downstairs. On her way to her car, she gave Lily a ring, asking her if she wanted to come along to Heartfelt Artistic Gallery. “I'm kinda occupied right now but we can hang out later when you're back.” That was Lily's response. Scarlett said it was okay, she hung up and got into her car. She put on her seatbelt and then drove off.Soon, she arrived at the gallery, she was approached by a female docent who welcomed her and offered to take her around the gallery.

Adrian came out of the bathroom and met Scarlett, still sitting at her table with Lily and Josh. Scarlett looked sad, probably because Ethan had to leave and Adrian knew exactly where he was. He threw his face away and told his date that it was time for them to leave. He led the way out after settling the bills, and his date briskly walked behind him.“Why did we have to leave so early? We didn't even get to eat anything.” The innocent-looking lady asked as they drove out of the restaurant and onto the busy road.“I'm sorry, but I have something urgent to attend to.” Adrian sounded gentle. The lady did nothing bad to him, but he wasn't interested in her or a relationship with her.“Oh, so where are we going?” She inquired.“I'm dropping you off at your house. Please, I don't think I'm ready for any commitment right now, and I wouldn't want to waste your time and give you the impression that I'm into you. I hope you can respect my decision, and please don't be upset.” Adrian said it in

Scarlett and Lily were in Scarlett's living room, their eyes fixed on the big screen television. They chuckled at a statement one of the characters of the show made, and then Scarlett turned to take a long look at Lily.“What? Why are you staring at me like that?” Lily turned to face her.“So you notice the look I'm giving you right now, but you played blind to Josh's breathtaking stare all afternoon? He's literally in love with you.” Scarlett snapped. She remembered exactly how Josh had his love-filled eyes fixed on Lily, like she was the only one in the room. “You know, you only get lucky once with this kind of thing. You might never find another who looks at you the way he does.” “Oh please, Scarlett. I've told you this before, I don't want anything of that sort, at least not for now.” Lily rolled her eyes.“What if you don't find it when you're finally ready?” “Why are you suddenly sounding like some love expert? I don't want any commitment for now, okay? I really don't want to

It had been three weeks already, and Scarlett's semester break was over. She was going to go back to the hassle and tussle of school, which she wasn't looking forward to. She was all set to leave for school and was packing her things into her car that morning.One of the maids, Sheila, was helping her take her belongings to the car and also get some necessary things that she had missed packing.“Oh, that's right, Sheila?”“Yes ma'am?” “Can you go to my room and get the bag beside my bed? The one I brought from the mall.” “Sure ma'am,” Sheila answered and went to get what Scarlett demanded. Scarlett, on the other hand, went back into the house to get some snacks for the road. Sheila came back outside but didn't find Scarlett. She loaded the bag in the trunk while waiting. She heard the gate opening and turned to see their porter opening the gate for a car for someone. They were not expecting any visitors, so she called for Scarlett.Before Scarlett came out, Adrian stepped down from

Scarlett and Nelly were just coming out from their first class of the semester when Nelly stopped walking and turned to face Scarlett, smiling widely.“Have you heard?” Nelly questioned. Scarlett, who seemed uninterested, was busy on her phone. She looked up with a perplexed expression and shrugged.“Heard what?” “The football team is hosting a welcome back party at their house tonight.” Nelly happily announced. Scarlett shook her head slowly, “I didn't know about it. You know you're always up to date about everything happening in school.” “That's right.” Nelly giggled. “So are you going?” “Nah, I don't think so. I have a lot of work to do tonight.” Scarlett replied, and Nelly looked sad.Vivian's secretary, Rachel, had sent the month's summary to Scarlett. It contained everything that had happened in the last month, including the finances and different deals. So she wanted to take her time to go through everything and take note of what had been going on, especially due to her mot
