SCARLETT'S POV

I took the stairs up to my room and on getting there, I paused on noticing the slightly opened door. Didn't I lock the door before leaving? I mused. Shrugging slightly, I stride in and made the way straight to my bed. It's been a really long day.

Some moments later, I was smiling over the comments I saw on social media about my interview. Many people were already curious about me_how I happened to be alive, or what happened to my mother, why I didn't show up in the city all this while since I was never dead as the country had speculated. Why I didn't bother saying something concerning the rumors about my mother and her best friend, why I announced myself as a legitimate daughter...and so on.

However, it wasn't the right time to let everything out. I'm just arriving. They should watch my moves.

Picking up my purse, I retrieved mother's diary and smiled.

"Mother, we've only just started. Today went exactly as I'd planned." I smiled and caressed the diary w

You've done well Ashton, I know I can always trust you." He said and I smiled. "Thank you for your generous words, Father. If you need anything else please let me know, I'll do it right away." "Not at all. For now, I need you to focus on securing Project XR contract with Song and Kwan Group before the next board meeting." He said and I nodded slightly in acknowledgement. "Yes Father." I wanted to ask him about Scarlett's new position in the company but on second thought, I decided against it. "Is there anything you want to ask me?" He said as though he could read my thoughts. "Not at all." I smiled and was about leaving the exquisite office when he interrupted me. "Ashton," "Yes Father," I turned around to face him again. "I trust you'll assist your sister, Heidi, around the compa

    NARRATIVE Imogen stepped out of the car in a sour mood as she walked towards the entrance of the company in the company of her guards. She easily passed through the glass doors and as she walked along the vast area of the first floor, several employees greeted her respectfully. She paused when she overheard the conversations of two young interns walking past. "KK is freaking here. I can't believe this. I got to see him when he walked in with several guards and headed for the elevator. Girl, the sight of him is ethereal. I've never seen anyone so dreamy before." "Come on don't say that. You mean there's someone who's more handsome than young Mr Grey? I don't wanna believe that." "You think I'm lying, wait till I show you that I'm not. Just now, I heard him asking the receptionist about the floor number where the CEO's office is located. Let's go check there." They gushed as they walked on.

    SCARLETT'S POVStunned? No, that's an understatement to describe how I felt the moment my eyes came in contact with his. The gorgeous Asian drool worthy hunk who had walked past me and Skylar at the rotunda hotel several weeks ago when I'd first arrived this city, was standing before me about a minute ago and now walking side by side heading for Dad's office. I mean, I'm sharing the same air and space with the one guy who succeeded in getting my tender innocent heart, racing like it never did before. Clearly, he didn't recall that we've met before and that's probably because I was in a disguise back then and he never spared me a glance. Even I can't compare my present self with the girl who had arrived Birmingham City for the first time and had on a beanie, sneakers and artificial eye lens. There's a huge difference so it's probably not his fault. You don't think I wanna go over the stress of explaining how we met to him, do you? Come on, it's gonna sound like this... '...so

I said, trying to see how she'll react to me starting a conversation with her although I know she won't disappoint me. Because I'm aware she's clearly having it hard accepting me and well...what do I say to that? "I don't remember asking you anything. Do I look like I care about what you do with your life? Well, just stay off my lane and keep off from what belongs to me! You get that?! Because I won't sit still and watch you take them. It's a promise sisss." She said frowningly, making emphasis on the 'sis'.Didn't I say it?...She didn't disappoint me! "Still finding it hard, huh?" I chuckled. "Well, it's your choice. Too bad because I thought we'll make a great team of siblings. I'm not surprised though." I said, gave her a once-over and walked away.I actually don't have her time.

    NARRATIVE "Oh Scarlett, I see you're dressed for work already." Scarlett stopped midway her walk down the stairs on hearing Harriet's words. She looked down at her supposed stepmother, who had just walked out of the kitchen and had a happy grin plastered all over her face. Of course it's fake, Scarlett could tell. She just stared at Harriet with an unconcerned expression. Scarlett couldn't even fake that she cares about this woman who shortened her mother's life and ruined her biological family. On seeing Scarlett wouldn't say a word to her, Harriet immediately added. "I prepared breakfast for everyone today, please come down to the dinning room let's eat as the lovely family we are." Scarlett felt greatly irritated by her hypocrisy but she kept on a calm but unconcerned expression. "You don't have to worry about me today. I can't afford to be late at the office so I'll skip." She said and continued her elegant walk down the stairs. "That can't be helped then. I did

The family restaurant which was located at the heart of the city, belonged to none other than Gordon Paul, the general Secretary of JP's Enterprise. "I agree," Said Gordon.

    In a duplex in a less packed area of the city, a brunette haired woman, sent a deadly glare across a scarred face man, kneeling before her. "I failed, boss. I apologize." He said and the woman raised her hand and slapped him hard across the cheek. Then she began pacing up and down the room. "Lie low for now. I would deal with this mess you have created, myself." She instructed. ___ Scarlett stared at the doctor in charge of Skylar's treatment with her face as pale as sheet. "Sorry. What did you just say?" She slowly asked, disbelief in her eyes. "We're sorry to let you know that we tried out best but..." The doctor paused, swallowing nervously as he avoided Scarlett's eyes. "...we couldn't save the child in her womb." He announced in one breath. Scarlett's knees suddenly became weak as she collapsed in to the seat. The doctor hurried on to add, "Also, she's still unconscious." Skylar was pregnant? Scarlett couldn't believe her ears. How? When? And now she

She frowned at the subordinate who had just passed an information to her. She was currently in the study of her secret home in City center. Harriet hurriedly collected the iPad and just at a glance, her eyes read through the bold headline on the screen. *The general secretary of JP's Enterprise, Gordon Paul, arrested and charged for illegal dealings by the prosecution, in the early hours of today. He had been called in for questioning along side some minor shareholders of JP's Enterprise and a few directors as well, that had been involved in this.* Harriet's grip on the iPad tightened and her lips trembled slightly as rage surged through her entire body.

    Later that same night, Imogen had hurriedly informed her mother about the chairman's conversation on phone which she had overheard. Harriet wasn't surprised by this news. She had already been informed by the subordinate she had assigned to spy on the Bryants household. What she found out wasn't necessarily going to help her goals at the moment, as it seems Palo and Scarlett had something going already. "About KK, why do you think your father invited him over to dinner today?" Harriet asked her daughter and Imogen immediately knew the reason. "He seems to approve of Kyle and Scarlett being together," she replied thoughtfully. Harriet took a close look at her beautiful daughter and a thought occured to her. "Imogen, you like KK, don't you?" Imogen couldn't help but blush as she said. "It's quite obvious I do, mother. A lot." Her mother urgently continued. "Then you have to seduce him." Seeing how her daughter became stunned at her words, Harriet added. "We need

    NARRATIVEWeeks passed by. There was remarkable progress in the growth of the company just under one month of Scarlett's leadership. Her relationship and sex life with Palo was going great too. He had even invited her to dinner with his family but she had politely declined. She wasn't sure yet if she should meet them, especially after her father's warning. She was still waiting on him to tell her everything when the time was right, like he had said he would. She had told Skylar about her relationship or situationship with Palo Bryant, and had also informed her foster mom of how Harriet had been keeping tabs on her secretly. Unfortunately, Scarlett and Lexi weren't able to find any trace of anything illegal to Harriet yet. She was seemingly having a clean record. But Scarlett knew it wasn't true. Harriet was cunning so she must have carried out her operations in strategic ways, making sure it led no traces back to her. Scarlett decided she would take things slowly, there m

    NARRATIVE Ashton and his friends were busy in the game room when Skylar brought in cakes for them to snack on. Skylar had made it herself with the assistance of a kitchen staff, of course, and wanted them to try it _ Ashton, mostly. "Enjoy," she whispered to him with a smile and his eyes didn't miss the deliberate wink she gave him and the fast manner she had bitten on her lips before she left. Skylar had made the cake most especially because of him, after learning that he loved eating cakes. And she sincerely hoped he liked it. At the sight of her, Ashton couldn't help lingering his gaze on her behind as she walked off, wishing he could grab those bouncy cheeks and also swat them as much as he needed, right now. If only he wasn't with people, he would have pulled her back in, shut the door after her and do so many dirty things to her that would leave her screaming his name only, around that seductive mouth of hers. But for the sake of their secret relationship,

She however planned to spend the weekend with Skylar and her foster mom at Aimee Brooke's family farmhouse. Ashton's reason for slacking off was because he was hanging out with his friends at the manor but of course, he secretly wanted to spend more time with Skylar too. Imogen's reason was because she had a hangout with her friends today. Yori had even slept over in the Grey's family manor the previous night. Scarlett was in her office working through some files in her office. Although she was greatly distracted by the thoughts that clouded her reasoning. Thoughts around the recent happenings with Palo Bryant. Were things supposed to be going in the way they were now? Was she supposed to be involved in an office romance with her COO? She sighed as the thoughts kept coming. Scarlett t

Her constant need for me was just as equal to my constant need for her. And now, I don't think I can get by a day in my life without having her. Skylar followed me upstairs into my bedroom, stealthily of course, and I locked the door after us. Ever since the incident at the pool, we've been meeting every other night in secret.We just couldn't get enough of each other, and the more our secret sexual escapades occured, the more we both anticipated the next. "I want to watch you undress, and you need to do it slowly." I whispered and she nodded without disagreement and began doing as I have said. She wasn't even dressed with much to start with. She only had on a thin, transparent silky ash colored nightwear. And obviously, she had nothing under. The sight of her smooth, exposed laps made my mouth watered. Jus
