SCARLETLuke and I stayed at his apartment all weekend. But the time had gone by so fast; it was already Monday. I still wanted to stay in bed for another day with the sweetest man I knew. He’d treated me like a queen for the past two days. I still didn’t want it to end. But the reality struck when I didn’t find him in bed the next morning.When I woke up, I realized Luke’s side of the bed was empty. I went downstairs, welcomed by the smell of coffee and the sound of the frying pan. The breakfast was ready, and when we finished breakfast, I went back upstairs for a fresh bath. To my surprise, he had already prepared clean clothes for me.I came downstairs, ready to go. Luke was waiting for me by the door. He was already dressed in a three-piece gray suit. His hair was brushed up, and he smelled of aftershave. I remembered he was going back to the office today as well. I’d already seen Luke in different outfits, and they all suited him well. Even if he was only on a shirt or in an apro

SCARLETI cringed, almost squealing. I then immediately turned off my phone with my shaking fingers. My heartbeat raced. It couldn’t be him. It was too long ago. He would never come here. He had already left.“Hey, what’s wrong?” Katherine elbowed me on the side.“Huh?” I glanced at her. “Nothing.”“Nothing?” Katherine grabbed my hand. “Your hands are shaking. What’s wrong?”“I said I’m fine, Katherine Collins!” I snapped.“Scarlet,” she said softly. “Calm down.”“Miss Carter, is there a problem?” Our professor’s voice echoed through the whole room. Dozens of eyes shifted to me. Damn. I forgot I was still in the classroom.“Nothing. I’m sorry, Mr. Donald. I’m sorry.”The professor cleared his throat. “Eyes back at the screen. All of you.”“We will talk later,” Katherine hissed, and she set her eyes back on her laptop’s screen.After the class, we came out of the classroom and headed to the next lesson. Katherine was watching me as if waiting for me to speak. But I remained quiet. I st

LUKE“We don’t have time to waste!” We stopped in the middle of the hallway. I turned around and faced Rebecca’s worried expression. “It’s only four days, Rebecca. Four fucking days since I left this place, and here I am again because you told me that the club owner came here earlier than expected. Now, you are telling me that I fucking need to wait for another three days? Come on!” I turned away and continued to walk.“But Luke, you have to calm down. She’s not the type of person to be treated lightly.”“I talked to you two days ago on the phone. I told you that I hate waiting.”“Luke, she just came here and—”“Then you shouldn’t have told me that she came.”“This is Miss Waltz’s office.” The man in the two-piece black suit led the way for us. I don’t think his boss didn’t know we were coming. He would not welcome us like this if she didn’t know.He tapped a keycard on the door. He pulled out the handle and told us to get inside. “Miss Waltz is inside, sir. You may come in.”“Thank y

SCARLETIt was three days before the Harvard Commencement Day; Mom surprised me with her early arrival. She was even more excited than I was. She wanted to help me choose my graduation dress and volunteered to do my hair and makeup. Thomas didn’t come with Mom. He said he was busy, but he promised to attend my graduation.Thomas had changed ever since the day he found out about my secret. The same day I learned that he was hurting his son physically. He wasn’t the same man who called me just to check if I was alright or needed something. Nothing.Mom called Luke over the phone, and she asked him if he was coming to my graduation. He agreed, of course, but he was still in London, probably devouring someone else’s pussy.A few days ago, I found photos of him with a mysterious blonde on the internet. They were attending a corporate gala, and he was unlikely to be found on the news with a woman. I stopped talking to him after that day.I didn’t want to Google him because of my stalking te

LUKE“Congratulations, Mr. Alejandro.” Cameron Waltz stood, reaching her hand out to me. I stood and accepted her hand. A smirk played on the side of her lips.“Thank you.”“I’m sorry for the trouble I caused you. I just needed a diversion. I can’t let the public know that I’m selling a property. I’m sorry, your girlfriend probably hates me right now.”“I didn’t tell her about you.”She let go of my hand and chuckled. “And I am right that you have a girlfriend. I wish we could meet again, Luke, but that would be impossible. I’m going back to Edinburgh in two days.“Yes.” And it’s Scarlet’s commencement day in two days. I had no reason to stay here. “Thank you, Cameron.” I closed the binder with the contract and the title of the sixty percent ownership of the Hightower Club and handed it to Rebecca.“I’m sorry I couldn’t help you that much. I’ve been trying to reach Mr. Velazquez, but I’m afraid he’s out of town.”“I heard.” The fucker was, unfortunately, hard to catch. The last time R

SCARLETThomas asked me to talk to him upstairs after we ate. Mom volunteered to wash the plates, so I came upstairs and followed Thomas to Luke’s office. Thomas was sitting in Luke’s chair when I found him. He put down the book he was holding.“Scarlet.” He said, “Come here.”I nodded. I sat on the chair in front of him.“I heard you’re leaving on the day of your graduation?”“How did you know?”“I know a lot of things, Scarlet,” he said, but he kept his voice low and calm.“Yes. I am going with my friend Katherine.”“I can help you and your friend. I’ll purchase a house for you, so you don’t need to rent, and I’ll provide everything you might need.”“That’s very generous, Thomas.” But I couldn’t stop asking myself, how did he know? I bit my lower lip. “But I’m sure Katherine already has a place for us.”“Just do what I say, Scarlet,” he pressed.“Why are you doing this? I don’t understand at all.”“I don’t want you to think that I want you to leave. You are my daughter now, and I wi

SCARLETI woke up early the next morning. I could already hear murmuring in the kitchen. I smelled butter and bacon in the cold air. Nate was probably early today. It was unusual for him to come early because he was a sleepyhead.I swung my legs out of bed and wandered out of my bedroom. Katherine wasn’t talking with Nate. Luke? I frowned hard and blinked my eyes a couple of times, but he was still there.Luke and Katherine were in front of the kitchen. She was laughing at him. Luke was smiling back at her, as well.“What is going on?” I told them.“Oh, there she is.” Katherine grinned.Luke turned around. He was still in a white long-sleeved shirt, and an apron hung around his waist.“You... you are here?”Luke smiled. “Do you want me to leave?”“No, no.” I swallowed hard, still surprised. “I thought…” I don’t know how I should react. Of course, I was happy to see him. I missed him too much, but his presence made me sad at the same time. He didn’t know a single thing about Thomas’ pl

SCARLETIt was my graduation today, and my fellow students and their parents filled the university ground. I could hear the loud excited voices everywhere. The rows of seats were full; I joined the students with the surname beginning with C. I was in the fourth row. I spotted Katherine in the same row, but she was at the end of the line since her surname was Collins. Thomas, Luke, and Mom were in the bleachers. I knew they were watching me.At precisely ten, the senior professors arrived, decked out in their black and crimson regalia. We stood and applauded the teaching staff. One of them was the Chancellor; he stepped in front of the stage and initiated the opening speech. When the Chancellor welcomed another speaker, he introduced him as a young businessman from New York City.He introduced himself as Zachary Waltz, CEO of Bandwidth Ventures. A prestigious IT and engineering company in Edinburgh. A spark in my head reminded me that he was the cousin Katherine told me about and the
