All Chapters of My Jerk Ex’s Uncle Spoils Me: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

SCARLETT “Look at my face, see what you’ve done to my face,” mom says for the hundredth time since I got home. I don’t understand what went wrong. Just yesterday, her face was perfectly okay and right now, looking at it, it is quite horrible. The entire length and breadth of her face is covered with a reddish brown rash and she thinks SkinAlive is responsible for it. I don’t know what to believe, I’ve never interacted with anyone else who has used the product, only mom, but that doesn’t mean the product is bad, people have been known to have allergic reactions to skin care products while there is nothing particularly wrong with the product. This is so messed up. “That’s enough Dahlia, you’re only going to make the poor child feel more horrible than she already does,” Lexi says, glancing between mom and I with a sullen look in her eyes. Mom scowls at her. “Really? How do you think I feel having my face like this? I never should have listened to the both of you….” Mom bursts out in

SCARLETT “How’s your mother gum gum? She hasn’t come to see me in a while,” Dad says in a sad tone. I know how much he loves her and how unfair her treatment of him is but even if you state the obvious, he would still rationalise and come up with an excuse for her. That’s how much he loves her. “Mom’s fine, she’s just been very busy lately. I’m sure she’ll come as soon as her schedule frees up,” My heart clenches as I lie to him. I still asked her to join me before I left the house. Her response was: “It’s not me your father needs, it’s his freedom. When he gets out, I’ll still be here…hopefully.” Dad smiles wryly at me. “And Lexi, we only talk when I call the house, it would actually be nice if the three of you can come together someday. It gets lonely without my family sometimes.” My heart breaks at the pain in his voice. Ever since mom and Lexi had that fight about him, Lexi stopped visiting too. I take a minute to look at my father and I blink back the tears that pool in my

SCARLETT Damian’s Kitten, he knows Damian calls me kitten? “You know Damian?” “What if I do?” He says, looking at me calculatingly as he blocks my path. Both his exposed arms from the T-shirt he's wearing are covered with sleeve tattoos that disappear up his biceps. He’s not as muscular as Damian but he’s definitely fit, having more of an athletic build. He has dark sunglasses over his eyes and tiny short dreads on his head, wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. “If you know Damian, you must take me to him,” I reply, dusting myself and smoothing out my skirt. He gives me a weird look. “I must take you to him? Sounds pretty urgent. Tell me,” he walks closer to me, closing the gap between us. “What is so important that it can’t wait.” “It’s personal,” I reply, taking two steps back. For all I know Trevor probably sent him to keep an eye on me but if that was the case, would he let me out? But still I don’t trust him and I can’t tell him why I’m really here. “Then you’ll have t

DAMIAN “Of course not. I hired the best chemists and dermatologists to put this product together, it’s the best of the best, don’t listen to her,” he replies quite confidently before he shifts his attention to Scarlett. “I don’t know why you would come up with such lies and go to such lengths to discredit my work but be rest assured, you just put your degree in jeopardy and you can forget about getting any internship.” His tone is serious and finite and I shift my gaze to Scarlett who’s about to reply before the other lady cuts her off. 

SCARLETT I wanted to say no to working for him. I barely even see him and he somehow clouds my thoughts. How would it be if I had to spend almost everyday in his presence? Not just as any random staff in his company but as his personal assistant, which means I get to do everything and go almost everywhere with him.  I didn’t know if I would be able to control myself and not give into my intrusive thoughts of making out with him but when he mentioned Professor August’s threat, I knew I had no choice. It’s been three weeks of working with him and I haven’t given into it yet so I think I can handle it, no matter how hard
