Scarlett Wolff

'Sorry, I'm a bit busy now'

My heart ached as I watched Lucien walk away. One minute, he was all over me like I was the only thing that mattered to him, and the next, he treated me like I was a plague. Am I that cheap to him?

"Ugh! That..." My voice trailed off, biting into my lip as my gaze dropped to my body. I had ordered this dress, hoping he would like it, but I ended up getting dismissed Instead.

I brushed all my thoughts away and headed to my room, throwing myself on my bed as soon as I walked inside. I made dinner, hoping we would eat together, but I lost my appetite after what happened.

An hour later, and I was still tossing restlessly on the bed, unable to sleep no matter how hard I tried to force it. His image wouldn't stop popping up in my head each time I closed my eyes to sleep. It felt as though he was haunting me.

My attention was drawn by the sound of the door opening outside, so I rose from my bed, rolling my eyes, knowing that it was

  • Lusting Over My Dad’s Best Friend    71

    Chapter 71Scarlet Wolff My heart wrenched painfully as memories of yesterday replayed in my head, but I held my head up high. It was meant to be like that, anyway.My phone screen lit up with a text, and I went to pick it up. A smile spread across my lips when I saw the text from Derek.'I found one on lease. It's beautiful'"That's so fast." I muttered after reading the text and the address attached to it.I had reached out to him early this morning to help me find an available apartment for lease. It'll still take a couple of months before my parents will be back, and staying back here was the last thing I'd allow myself to do.'Thank you. Let's talk about it over lunch later'.I sent him a text and just as I was about to toss my phone away, it started to ring. I thought it was Derek at first, until I checked and saw that it was Alexa."Hey, baby girl." Her cheerful voice sounded through the phone as soon as I answered the call."Hey, baby." I slumped on the bed, rubbing my templ

    Chapter 70Derek Woods "Where are you coming from?" Dad rose to his feet as soon as I walked inside the living room. His eyes were blazing with anger."You didn't show up for dinner yesterday. What do you think you are doing?" He yelled at me again, and I rolled my eyes."I told you that I wasn't interested in having dinner with you. I guess you didn't get the message." I replied to him casually, tucking my hands inside my pockets."I told you to lay low, Derek. I told you to-""Come on, dad. It's not that I killed anyone..." I cut him off, rolling my eyes as I walked past him."Why are you here this early morning by the way?" I paused, turning back to face him."What is so important that made you come here this early, hmm?" I raised my eyebrows, and he clenched his jaws tightly, glaring hard at me."Let's talk." He muttered, sitting on the couch.'I'm tired and not in the mood for this'.I wanted to tell him, but changed my mind and decided to hear him out.I walked over to sit on t

    Chapter 69Derek Woods "I...I..." she stuttered, turning her face away from me.A scoff tore through my throat, my fingers slowly clenching tightly into a fist as I stared at her. I didn't want to believe she knew about it even though I could already tell from her reaction."Wait..." I closed the distance between us, and it was then I noticed the bruises on her arm which she tried to cover up. "Mom... what is this?" My voice came out in a whisper, my lips trembling as I reached for her hand, but she snatched it away from me, covering it up with her hand."It's...it's nothing, darling. I'm fine." She forced a smile, avoiding eye contact with me."That bastard... has he been abusing you?" My stomach riled up with anger, my heart pulsated in my chest, and my blood boiled as I asked her."No, darling. Ronnie... he is not abusing me." She quickly shook her head, and I scoffed in disbelief. Still defending him even though it was obvious, yeah?"You told me he was on a business trip. Was h

    Chapter 68Derek Woods My fingers clutched tightly around the fork as I stared at mom blankly."It's three weeks, darling. I only found out about it some days ago, and I couldn't wait to tell you about it." She squealed excitedly."Wo...wow!" I muttered, not knowing what to say.Happy? That was the least of the things I felt at the moment. She wasn't supposed to be pregnant. Not for that bastard. "Congratulations, mom." I forced a smile."Why do you look like that? Aren't you happy about it?" Her eyes narrowed as they bored into mine, and I chuckled dryly."Of course, mom. I mean... I'm happy for you." I replied to her, biting into my lip."Ronnie... does he know about the baby yet?" I asked."Hmm. I told him about it. He promised to celebrate the baby as soon as he gets back from his business trip." She nodded with a smile, and I felt a sting in my heart.He knew about her pregnancy and still went ahead to cheat on her? While my mom was here, struggling alone, he was in the arms of

    Chapter 67Derek Woods 'Hey, Mom. I'm on my way'I dropped a text for mom as I strode to the parking lot."Excuse me, Sir." I was just about to hop inside the car when Rob called my attention as he walked over to me."Sir, Mr. Woods asked to remind you about your dinner today at his villa." "Tell him that I'm not interested." I dismissed him and hopped inside the car.My dad wanted us to have dinner together, but his face was the last thing I wanted to see. I didn't want something that'd ruin this happy moment for me.I arrived at mom's apartment in less than forty minutes' drive."Darling." Mom was already waiting in front of the door by the time I pulled over at the parking lot. She walked down to me."You are so late. Don't you know it's dangerous out there at this time?" She hugged me briefly."I'm sorry, mom. I had something to take care of. Shall we?" "Sure, darling."She led the way while I trailed behind her."The banana bread is so delicious. I bet you are going to love it

    Chapter 66Scarlet Wolff I rolled on the bed for the umpteenth time before sitting up, running my fingers through my hair frustratingly.I have been indoor ever since I got back from school. Just lying on bed, staring at the ceiling and wallowing in thought.I lazily reached for my phone, and a gasp tore through my throat when I saw what time it was. 19:30.My stomach grumbled at that moment, reminding me that I hadn't eaten yet, so I got out of bed and dashed out of my room.My heart skipped a beat the moment I walked inside the kitchen and found Lucien cooking."Hey!" He looked back at me over his shoulder, a small smile playing on his lips."Hmm." I just hummed, swallowing nothing."Do you need anything?" He turned to face me, his eyes boring into mine.My eyes darted to the oven, and back at him."Oh... I'm baking waffles. I figured you haven't had dinner yet, so I thought you would like it." He explained, smiling at me."Alright." I replied to him casually, and turned to get jui
