Chapter 21 ~ A living Hell

She didn’t know much about their relationship but from how she looked, she could tell she was a rich spoiled kid. “You’ll never be good enough for my son!” The words echoed in her mind sending a stab straight to her heart.Maybe he finally found someone worthy to be by his son's side."Ignore those little twats!” A voice pulled her out of her deep thought.A part of her wished it was Victoria and Lilian troubling her mind because it would be easier to sort out, unlike the mess with Easton.She looked up to see Sky and Jules standing by her desk, mischievous smiles on their faces like there was something they were talking about."Don’t listen to those jealous losers," Jules said, leaning against the desk."Exactly," Sky added, plopping into the chair next to her. "They’re just mad they can’t be as fabulous and talented as you."Scarlet managed a weak smile. "Thanks, guys. But I really just want to focus on work right now."Sky’s eyes lit up with an idea. "Nope. What you need is a night

Chapter 22 ~ A wild night

“This feels so good! You guys were right! I needed this.” Scarlet screamed through the loud music as she felt the alcohol buzz in her veins, loosening her up as she allowed herself to let go. For a moment, she forgot about Easton, Jade, and everything else weighing her down.After tucking in Jasmine and Aria insisting on sleeping over, she was able to freely have fun without worrying about her daughter.The bass thumped through the club, as the girls danced to the beat.Aria had insisted that she go out. Seeing her friend do nothing but try to survive all her life made her happy that she was trying to loosen up for once. She promised to sleep over and watch Jasmine so she wouldn’t worry since Aisha, the nanny was new and yet to be fully trusted. “I’m always right girl! Take a look at Grace.” Sky giggled as Scarlet followed where she was showing her and her jaw dropped to the floor.The uptight Grace was so drunk that she danced the night away.“Let’s join the dance floor!” Jules insi

Chapter 23 ~ Claimed

Dante tilted his head with a smirk, raising his hands as if to show he meant no harm. "Relax there Prince Charming," he said sarcastically. "I’m just a customer having a good time. That’s allowed, isn’t it?”Easton’s glare hardened, his jaw tightening as he took a deliberate step forward, his imposing frame towering over Dante. “Get the fuck out Mordane.”“Oh come on.” Dante flashed him a smile. “Enjoy your little freedom then, drink as much as you want” Easton growled, his voice low but venomous. “Because come tomorrow morning, I’ll make sure you don’t even have that.”That got to him because he knew too well that Easton didn’t give empty threats and had the power to make anyone stumble.Dante’s eyes flicked between Easton and Scarlet, lingering on her for a moment before raising his hands higher in mock surrender. “Fine, I’ll leave,” he said with a chuckle, stepping back. “No need for a scene.”Once Dante disappeared into the crowd, Easton turned his attention back to Scarlet.

Chapter 24 ~ Annoying

Sweat clung to Easton’s forehead as he twisted and turned in his bed, the sheets tangled around him. His breath came in sharp gasps, tears streaking his face as he was pulled deeper into the nightmare that haunted him every night."Mummy, please don't go!" A frightened voice pleaded, echoing in his mind.Easton stood on trembling legs, reaching out to his mother's figure. She was walking away, her steps faltering on the edge of a steep cliff. Her white dress billowed in the wind. "Stop her! Dad, stop her!" Easton, bound in the sand and unable to move, turned desperately to his father, who sat motionless, his face buried in the documents in his hands. No response came. "She's going to fall!" Easton screamed, “Mum! Please stop!” tears streaming down his face.But no one listened. His mother turned to him one last time, her face peaceful, but her eyes filled with sorrow. “I love you so much, my prince. You’ll always be my perfect angel though you’re now so grown.” She whispered in a s

Chapter 25 ~ Cozy

Easton’s hand darted out, and he grabbed the panhandle to steady it. The searing heat burned his palm, and he hissed in pain but held firm, moving the pan off the burner.“Are you out of your mind?” he snapped, as he turned, glaring at her. “You could’ve seriously hurt yourself.”Scarlet stared at him, her anger momentarily forgotten as guilt flared. “You didn’t have to— Your hand, are you okay?”Easton ignored her question, lifted her off the floor, and placed her on the counter on the opposite end. “Stay there,” Easton ordered, his voice softer but still firm. He ran his hand under cold water, then grabbed a mop and soap to clean the oil on the floor.“Wouldn’t it make you happy if I got burned? Why did you save me?” Scarlet asked, her heart still pounding from his touch. “Don’t you hate me that much?” “I do hate you but you’re no use to anyone if you’re burnt.” Easton retorted without looking up.Scarlet watched him but couldn’t help but taunt him, “You know if you hadn’t called m

Chapter 26 ~ A warning

Scarlet felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. Her laughter faded instantly, and she took a step back feeling stupid. What was she doing here having warm moments with a man who hated her and was probably engaged to Jade?“Jade,” Easton said, surprised. “What are you doing here?”Jade’s eyes flickered to Scarlet, her expression flat masking her boiling rage. All she wanted to do was pull out Scarlet’s heart and chop it into tiny pieces but in front of Easton, she had to play nice. “I came to check on you, of course. I didn’t expect to find you entertaining guests so early. Scarlet, isn’t it?”Scarlet snorted, “You didn’t seem to have a problem with your memory the last time we met.” Easton held back a smile at the memory of the video he watched where Scarlet was slapping the shit out of Jade. Jade’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. “ Oh pardon me. I had to be sure you know. It’s not every day that you walk into an employee laughing with her boss in his kitchen. But I

Chapter 27 ~ Off life support

“What the hell happened to you?” Melania Voss looked at the sight before her.Jade threw her purse onto the nearest chair and sank into the sofa, bursting into tears. “Easton! He… he’s turning on me! He grabbed me by the throat, humiliated me, and nearly ran me over!” Her makeup was smudged, her hair disheveled, and her throat still ached from Easton’s grip.Her mother, Melania, looked up from the couch, where she sat sipping tea. The elegant woman arched a perfectly groomed brow at the sight of her daughter’s state. She set her tea down with measured grace, her sharp eyes narrowing. “And why exactly would he do that, Jade? What did you say to him? As far as I know, Easton never shows emotions so this is a first.”“I didn’t say anything.” Jade sniffed.“So he just saw you and held you by the throat? That sounds crazy!” Melania leaned back on the couch and placed her leg on top of the other one.Before Jade could respond, her father, James, entered the room, his voice cold and demandi

Chapter 28 ~ Out of your paycheque

The atmosphere in Black Enterprises was suffocating that morning. Word spread quickly through the building—Easton Kade Black was in one of his moods, the kind that sent even the bravest employees scurrying away at the mere sound of his footsteps.Kai liked to call it “Code Red” And asked everyone to stay as far away from him as they could. No one was safe and worse off, they had a meeting today.“Should we reschedule the meeting, sir?” Kai asked the moment Easton sat down.“Why?” He asked as if he wasn’t giving out murder vibes.“Thought you were busy and needed time to-”“Just spit it, Kai.” Easton cut him off impatiently.Kai sighed, “Well you’re not in a good mood and you look like shit. Plus whoever is presenting today will do a messy job if you keep up with that glare.” He rumbled it all in one sentence.“That’s bullshit.” Easton responded, “I would never look like shit even if I tried. The meeting goes on as planned.”Kai sighed, “Yes, sir.”Back at the designer’s department, Sc

Chapter 29 ~ Are you dissapointed?

‘The next morning……Scarlet dragged herself into the office, her exhaustion evident in every step. The faint shadows beneath her eyes spoke of a sleepless night, and her normally glossy hair was swept into a hasty ponytail. Her blouse was slightly wrinkled, and the faint redness around her eyes hinted at tears that she had fought back.She was a strong girl but her walls were cracked and she was barely holding on. Thankfully, Jasmine had a school trip for a week where they would tour around the different parts of the country before schools closed.With a heavy sigh, she opened the door to Easton’s office and found him standing by the large window, his back to the door, staring out at the city skyline. When Scarlet entered, he turned to face her and her tired appearance caught his attention. For a moment, his heart clenched—a flash of concern breaking through his cold exterior. But the thought was fleeting, replaced quickly by the desire to avenge his brother hardening his heart into i

Chapter 30 ~ Taken

“You believe I did this to him?” Scarlet turned to Easton in tears. “Do you think that low of me?” She added.She wanted to tell him. How she and Micheal had never even met before but she couldn’t. Not when she didn’t know how he came to the conclusion that she was behind his accident.“You don’t want the answer to that question, trust me.” Easton’s cold voice responded.Scarlet’s heart twisted painfully. He was indeed long gone and the man she thought loved her now despised her. She couldn’t change his mind or explain her way through. “I have to go!” She said as she rushed out of the hospital room. Scarlet’s feet carried her blindly down the hospital corridor, her mind swirling with shock, and guilt, not at only what happened to Micheal but also at what the incident turned Easton too.A cold-hearted man. Was that why he was forced to take the CEO position he hated so much?Scarlet’s heart ached. She realized that he was living in hell and all his worst nightmares were made into one
