Scar pov
Jackie walked in shortly with her phone "who was that?" I couldn't help but questioned her seeing how she's behaving
"A client" she replied not looking at me which only means she's lying to me but decided to let it be since I'm tired. I adjusted the duvet
"Off the light when you're done" I said, covering my eyes with an eye mask since I can't sleep with the light on.

I woke up late because I turned off the alarm, seeing it was disturbing my sleep. "Jackie you need to wake-up if you don't want to be late for work" I said tapping her but the dummy head wouldn't wake up so I had to drag her down
"Stop that Scar" she said trying to pushed me with her legs
"Get up or you will be late and I know you wouldn't like your cousin to take your place in the office" I sing a song while she sprint to the toilet which I sigh in relief seeing that did the trick. I guess she doesn't want someone else to take the company under her nose so she always try her best to be punctual and active
She asked me to work in the company with her but I have to decline because i know what people will say not that I care but I won't risk that knowing people will target me to get to her and I wouldn't like that so I told her no which we had a misunderstanding before she let it go sering she couldn't change my mind even after throwing tantrum
"Let's hang out today. It's been long we had a drink" she dressing up since she has a lot of here in my closet
"Just like that. No thank you" I declined knowing she's up to no good because both of us are horrible drinkers
"Bills on me I promised" she said, picking her hand bag before she sprinted out.
"Take your breakfast before leaving" I heard mother saying to jackie
"I will package some. I'm late already" Jackie responded which I smiled knowing she won't skip a meal for anything no matter how late or busy she is she always try her possible best to eat
I dressed up after arranging the room before walking out since I will be going for a shoot today. "Good morning pa" I greeted my father giving him a peck on his cheek while he returned the gesture
"How are you my angel?" He asked
"I'm fine pa" I replied which he hum
"Is there something bothering you?" He asked out of the blue which I stopped what I was doing facing him
"I.. I'm fine pa" I replied "what did you see?" I asked curiously
"Well I notice that your smile is not genuine and you have been behaving strangely since two days ago" he said which I laughed nervously
"It's due to stress Pa" I lied "Don't worry when I have enough rest I will be fine" I said
"I hope so and please don't burden yourself so much dear"
"I promised I won't" I said smiling before walking to the dinning with my father.
"I don't know why I married you in the first place" mother complain coming out from their room "I'm tired of this work I should've gotten married to a wealthy man but I chose love" she continues while my father just sat there saying nothing
"Mother" I said
"What?" She asked
"You should learn how to talk" I said "moreover you have said it all you married him not because of wealth but love then why bring that up now?" I asked looking at her straight in the eyes
"What?" She asked surprised by my question
"Or is it that you also regret having me and Abraham as your children?" I asked because I know she can say that too
"Scarlet Johnson you won't say another word" father called my full name which makes me shut up because I know he's angry. I pushed my chair back and stormed out of the dinning before I could say something else.
I closed the door standing behind it trying to control my breathe and the tear threatening to come down which I quickly ambled to the toilet to wash it off "I can't ruin my face" I said fanning my face with my hand before I raise it.
I apply a little bit of makeup so my face won't look dull. I open my door and stopped in my track hearing my parents voices
"I'm sorry Victoria" father apologies which I saw Maa holding his hand
"I'm sorry John. I never meant what I say" she said in tears "you know I love you so much and can't trade you for anything' she said
"I know but" father tried to say
"I love my children. And I have never for once regretted having them but now look at what Sca.." she tried to say but couldn't say my name fully because of how the cry overpowered her. I felt a strong arm on my shoulder and turn to see Abraham
"She made a mistake and she has learnt from it already which I know she didn't mean to say that. You know she always whines at times but Paa always massages her shoulder and that's all but I think it's because you're not always there when she says it. That's why you felt it somehow but trust means she loves our father " Abraham said giving me a light squeeze on my shoulder. I tried to control my own tears but couldn't so I rushed down and hug them both from behind Abraham joining us too
"I'm sorry" I said in between sob which mother turn and hold my face in her hand
"I'm sorry Scar '' she said, kissing me on my forehead while I hugged her tightly. My phone rings and I pull away before picking it
"Hello sir" I said while listening to him attentively before answering "Okay sir. Thank you sir" I said before ending the call
"Who was that?" Abraham asked
"Oh it's the director. He just called to inform me that I don't need to come today that's all" I said smiling before sitting down close to mother putting my head on her lap while she stroke my head
"Since you aren't going out again let's eat our breakfast together" father said to lighten up the mood which we all nodded. I pass the plate while Maa serves and Paa arranges the table.
We ate in silence. The only sound you could hear was that of our cutlery. After eating I smiled seeing all of us eating together. I packed the dishes and Abraham cleaned the table.
Done with everything I vacuum the kitchen before going back to my room to change since we are going out with Jackie
"Hello" I said trying to fixed my hair
"Come out Scar" Jackie said while I cut the call and picked my bag up.
"We are going out for a drink" I said trying to wear my shoe
"Please don't drink too much because the both of you are bad in drinking" Mom warns which I wave and walked out to meet jackie in her car
"Where to now?" I asked hoping into the car
"Shopping"
"What?" I shouted "thought we are going out to drink?" I asked
"Yes but let's get drunk looking sexy" she said and wink at me while I just laughed at her. I wonder how Jackie used to think sometimes
We tried different types of clothes before Jackie finally settled on the one we both are going for.
We sat down and the makeup artist did some smoky touches for us making us look sexier than the makeup matching our outfit. Tank top and short skirt with slit that what we both wore with a jacket a little bit below your knee
"I need to get laid looking sexy and hot like this" I said imagining how I will be bend over while am being fuck by the back
"Worry not. Who knows maybe you will get dome hot cake tonight" which I laughed
"Crazy thought". We drive to a fancy six star bar where mostly rich men and women come to drink.
We walked to our table which is facing the city view where we would be able to see clearly.
"Let's order" Jackie said which she wave and the waiter quickly arrived "just give us Pastis and water" Jackie ordered which the waiter left and come back a little bit with our order
I take a sip of the water before I open the wine. "I need to pee" javkie said quickly getting up before I could say anything.
She came back in less than five minutes tapping her leg on the floor. "What's wrong?" I asked seeing she's not touching her drink
"I'm sorry Scar but I promised to make it up to you" she said quickly picking up her bag and ran away I turn to call her but stopped seeing the person in my front
"I'm gonna kill you Jackie" I shouted after her but couldn't get up since I'm blocked
Zion's POVDressed up ready to leave but Jackie is yet to call so I check myself out once again. I can't really say why I'm doing this because I'm never the type that insisted on thing but ever since I set my eyes on her I couldn't forget about her then our quicky sex in the toilet which I was surprised what made me to do that when I'm the type that's always cautious but everything about her is just I don't really know what to say. My phone rings and I pick it immediately "hello" I said "Hy come quickly before she notice my antics" Jackie whispered which I know she's not close to her friend I quickly walk down the stairs but was greeted with my grandma "Where are you rushing to?" She asked"I have an appointment" I reply about to leave"Have you ever heard of such an appointment before?""Grandma please" I said "see you when I come back" I hurriedly walked out before she could say another word. I didn't bothered to asked the driver to drive because i want to go aloneI arrived in no
Scar povI didn't know what actually came over so I ran out of the car because I know what I did is embarrassing enough. Immediately I'm at the door I composed myself before walking in there I saw the devil in disguise I called my best friend behind my mom hiding "Jackie" I said smiling so it won't seem as if I'm mad at her"You're back?" She asked "Yes I am" I replied "and you know we have some unfinished business right?" I asked "I don't think so and as you can see I'm giving mother a little help here" she said hugging my mother from the back"Don't mind her daughter you know Scar doesn't help around rather lazing around her room that's why I'm always to see you around. I wished you live here with us" mother praised jackie which I know if I make any drastic mistake she will beat the daylight out of me"Oh my sweet mother" I said "you know you're the one that always asked me to take care of my body and to sleep very well so my skin will be smooth and good" I sweet talked her"I kno
Zion's POVI didn't bother to inform anyone about the Scar coming because I know she will and I will be the one to take the final decision so I went home and have a lovely night rest I dressed up earlier than usual so I could see everything from when she set her feet in the company "Goodmorning grandma" I greeted her I just don't know why she wakes up early every day "How was your night?" She asked "Splendid. I'm going to the office" I said about to leave"Good but I think you should just handover your own company to Mike to handle it so you can focus on one or what did you think?" She suggested "That's not a problem but I was planning to give it to mother" I said before I could think"What?" Grandma shouted"That not what I meant just for the time being since she's good I think she could be of helping hand" I said"I don't agree with that and I don't want to see her anywhere near that company it might be yours but I know what she's capable off""Grandma please I have to be early
Scar povEverything is going at a speed rate which I wished it continued like so that I could get scit free from the devil himself because I don't think I can remain sane if he continues kissing or touching me any opportunity he get it might lead to something else and I don't think I'm interested in any kind of relationship now Nit after the one that have failed before and I'm regretting it each passing day because that relationship is the only thing that makes me the way I am now but I don't blame anyone rather I blame my fragile heart and innocent mind.I shake it off and entered inside after I make sure my breathe is even "hey mom I said giving her a hug don't wonder too much I love my mom is just that we tend to have alot of misunderstanding that's all "Welcome dear. How was the interview?" She asked dropping the bowl in her hand "It was fine and I hope I get the job" I prayed "You will my dear let's be hopeful" she said "I will be the most happiest atleast you don't have to ac
Scar pov"What do you mean Grandma?" Zion asked which I was still shocked "I think you heard me right and moreover why waste time when my days are numbered or do you want me to die without seeing my great grandchildren" she said already in tears which I know it's fake "Grandma please stop this" zion tried to calm her but that only makes her to cry harder "Okay fine Grandma we are going to get married but atleast Scar and I have to discuss some things first" Zion said which I turn to look at him but he cut his eyes for me"Yes Grandma give us some time and we will get back to you""That's thoughtful of you both. Thank you" she said embracing us in a tight hug"It's getting late I need to drop her off" zion said walking out"Alright then. Goodnight Scar" she said hugging me for the last time "Goodnight Grandma" and with that I followed zion outside who was already inside the car which I sat beside him seeing his not the one driving The driver took off and Zion closed the window betw
Scar pov "How?" I asked surprised which she laughed "Well to tell you the truth I was once an actress so I know when someone is acting because I'm good at it myself you should have known the day you saw me crying" she said which h I nod "and again my grandson doesn't belive in lover rather he believes in sex and pleasure which he thinks money can give him all that so why stress over getting married" she points out "he did this because I'm forcing him and giving pressure and same way his mother is pressuring him to get married so he could get the inheritance" "Oh!" I said surprised "So you see even the Idea of pretending to have a fiance that is definitely his mother idea but I don't care all I want is for him to be happy that's all" "I'm sorry for fooling you" I said which she wave it off "Don't be sorry dear in fact I'm glad he found someone as you who is truthful and has consciousness" she said "you know if it was someone else she could've taken advantage of the situation an
Scar Pov I was confused on what to do so I turned to Zion "keep quiet and stay here let me go and meet my parents them I will for a way for you to go out" I said opening the door to meet my parents "Are you sleeping already?" Mother asked "No am not" "Why are you looking as if you're stressed out?" She question "I'm fine. You both didn't come back on time?" I change the topic "Well we didn't finish on time and we went to watch a movie" she said smiling looking at my father who was also smiling as if they're newly weds "Okay okay please not now it's late already maybe you both can continue your love in the comfort of your room" I said to them "Oh and we bought you tons of clothes but I'm too tired now so we will do that tomorrow and worry not have set the one you're wearing to office tomorrow you're gonna look sexy and get you boss drooling over you" she said "Mom please go and sleep I think you have consume more alcohol than usual" I said "dad please help her inside" I sai
Scar PovThe constant bang on the door was giving me a headache so I had no other option than to wake up and open the door "Abraham why are you disturbing me early in the morning?" I asked yawning not even looking was at the door "You better inside your toilet bath and come out for breakfast" mother said which I look up at her all my thoughts uts Abraham because his d only who disturbing me early in the morning "Mom" I said"Nit time for that now quickly dress up I don't think it's a good sign to go to work late on your first day that will only leave a bad record on you" she said tossing the clothes in her hand on me before she leaves.
