"Is that...?" Charlie looked worried, darting his eyes between Wyatt and the grumpy manager who just entered the box, "Wyatt, he's going for the bastard!""So?" Wyatt played the glass in his hand with a winning smirk, "Dunn Group officially missed their deadline yesterday. I'm giving Everett Dunn the chance to beg all he wants before I grab the fruit from right under his fucking nose!"Scarlett froze where she was, horrified.Dunn Group was out?! Everett said he would consider rejoining the last time she asked him about it. She didn't think he would make the official decision all of a sudden. This was all her fault!Did Everett know that not even the project manager could help him now? Was this the real point of this party? To invite Everett here just to tease him with false hope before humiliating him?!Scarlett jumped up to warn Everett, but Wyatt suddenly grabbed her wrist and threw her back into the chair, his tone colder than ever as his dark eyes locked on her with malicious sus
"What the fuck?!" Wyatt shouted, crawling back to his feet in haste, his eyes ashamed red. He covered his nose with a horrified look, blood dripped through his fingers. His three friends instantly stood up and came between Wyatt and Everett, who was now turning his shoulder slightly with an evil smirk."Wait a minute!" Scarlett hurried up as well, knowing full well how these guys were.They bully, for a living."Are you seriously taking his side right now?!" With disbelief and anger in his eyes, Wyatt roared at Scarlett from behind one of his muscles, blood dripping off his nose "The bastard hit me! Did you see that!? He's savage!""To be fair," Everett rose a finger tauntingly, though the smirk didn't reach his eyes, "you touched me first. It was just self-defense.""Defense against what?!" Wyatt opened his eyes wide in anger, "I only patted you on the shoulder!""I was afraid you were gonna do something to me for scaring your fiancee," Everett shrugged with an annoying grin, "isn't
Scarlett died today, on the way to her beloved husband, in the hands of that exact husband and her own "loving sister"...Ten minutes ago--Her car flipped over and crashed into the ground. Bound to the driver's seat upside down, Scarlett couldn't see or move for several minutes before she realized what happened--She'd crashed into a car that had just cut her off on the highway and suddenly braked hard.Everything hurt. Her legs were jammed between the seat and the cracked steering wheel. Her arms twisted at a bizarre angle with broken glass pieces sticking out. A large piece of glass stuck out of her chest, blood oozing out. Her head was pounding from hitting the window, leaving her sight blurred.Scarlett let out a bitter and painful laugh -- she thought her misery was finally over when she was released from prison only a week ago, and here she was, dying in pain, alone.A pair of feet came into her fuzzy sight."Help...please..." Scarlett tried to shout, only to realize her voice w
The coldness in Laura's eyes made Scarlett tremble. Scarlett felt like she had never really known the person she called sister."Why didn't you send me with them to Mexico?" Scarlett mumbled, tears blurring her sight, mixing with blood. "You would have gotten all of this two years ago.""You don't think I tried?" Laura frowned with contempt. Her eyes fell on Scarlett as if she was looking at something disgusting. "You would have died before you married Wyatt three years ago, if it wasn't for Everett Dunn."Everett Dunn? Scarlett frowned in confusion. What did any of this have to do with that devil?"It wasn't him who drugged you, it was me!" Laura burst into laughter.Scarlett was so shocked she forgot to breathe.Seeing the confusion on Scarlett's face, Laura laughed viciously: "I prepared three guys for you that night, all with AIDS! And you would have gotten it and out of our way much sooner if you didn't go into the wrong room at the hotel that night!""No...No!!!" A piercing cry
"Bang!"Scarlett gasped when her head bumped into something hard, and the sharp pain helped her open the heavy eyelids that she was having trouble lifting.The first thing that crashed into her unfocused eyes was a dark red carpet--She was dragged by a woman along a long, empty hallway."Let go..." Scarlett mumbled, but her faint protest was ignored. She was so sure she would die, so how come she was walking in a strange place with no wounds on her body?Her voice was still lost, and her limbs were weak as rubber. But the sharp pain in her chest was gone, as well as those on her ribs, legs, and all the wounds she got from the car accident.Replaced by an uncontrollable fire that was boiling her blood.She had only tasted this fire once in her life as she recognized it with fear -- Three years ago when she was drugged at her own engagement party!"It's okay, you are just drunk. All you need is a little rest..." The woman turned and attended to her with a soft, sweet voice.Scarlett's p
She was so worried that she was about to cry. Thin sweat broke out on her forehead. "Hmm?" Seeing her angst, Everett bent over and put his ear closer to her lips. Though half-conscious, Scarlett found her senses enhanced when his handsome face got close. She pasted her eyes on Everett like a cheetah staring at her prey, lining the sharp curves of his delicious ear, his hard-carved temple, and his firm jaw with her greedy eyes. Craving the power flowing under his smooth skin, all Scarlett could think of was how it would taste if she could just reach up a little further and take that ear into her mouth. "They...have...AIDS..." Scarlett breathed into his ear, and this time Everett heard her. Darkness clouded his eyes as he frowned deeply. "Edward, keep them alive," Everett said as he picked Scarlett up into his arms princess style, heading out of the room, "Careful. They might have AIDS." Edward was Everett's secretary, his first mate, and the best assistant in both his personal
Scarlett didn't know when she fell asleep or how. She wouldn't if she could because Wyatt and Laura's ugly twisted faces were haunting her even in her deepest sleep. She was trapped again in the fire that consumed her life. Blood tears trailed down her cheeks as cold blue dead bodies surrounded her -- her grandfather, her parents... Everett Dunn. She shouted at the top of her lungs but her cry did nothing to prevent the deaths of the people that lost their lives loving her! She couldn't help them, because she was the one stupid enough to love the devil dressed in human skin-- "Wyatt...Wyatt...Wyatt Morison!!!" Scarlett shouted, gritting her teeth as if that could tear some flesh off that vicious man. She shoot up in the bed with messy breath, and it took her several minutes to believe that she really was alive again, and none of the tragedy had yet to happen. Taking deep breaths, she fell back into bed, exhausted from the nightmare that haunted her through the night. For whatever
Even if Laura could prove that she did take Scarlett to room 605, and successfully ruin Scarlett's name, it would be easy to pin the three guys hiding in there on Laura because she just admitted to her involvement! Scarlett had several plans prepared, none of them involving Laura being so stupid. Now she only needed to use the simplest one-- Turned and looked at the number on the door with a perfect smile, Scarlett then turned to the media with a sweet smile: "You must remember wrong, dear sister. I could barely walk when you took me here, so how can I move to another room?" "You esca-- you left the room I got you!" Laura opened her eyes wide, "Why did you leave? Were you raped last night?! You can tell us, baby girl, we are here for you!" Wyatt's eyes shrank in shock when he heard the word "raped", and Scarlett didn't miss that. She knew he couldn't stand her being "stained", but Scarlett didn't think it would be that obvious -- and now knowing what kind of a man he was, Scarlet
