Chapter 5
Scarlett Wolff "What are you doing, Scarlett?" My heart ceased for a moment, my eyes blinked as I stared at him, speechless. "Me?" I asked the dumb question, straightening my back as I thought of the perfect answer to give him just so I won't look dumb before him. He stared at me straight, his eyes searching my face perhaps for an answer. "Oh... I was just... taking a walk, and I tripped. Yes, I tripped," my heart echoed in my ear as I told him the unbelievably dumb lie because I knew I obviously looked and sounded dumb at that moment. He gave me a brief stare. He didn't look convinced by my lies, but still, he nodded. "You should get going then," he went back inside, closing the door on my face, but I saw her. She was sitting on the bed as though she was ready for him. She was ready for him to come fuck her. Just the thought of it made my heart sting with anger and sadness. "Hmm... I should head back to my room," my eyes stung with tears, my chest tightening painfully as I turned and walked back into my room, locking my door behind me. I threw myself lazily on the bed, staring up at the ceiling, many thoughts lingering on my mind. What if he really fucked her? 'Don't think about it, Scarlett. Just get yourself distracted'. Getting myself distracted? Well, that was what I did as I headed to the closet where I picked one out of the erotica books collection that I kept there. I'm a huge fan of erotica books, and I've been purchasing them like crazy for the past five years. I went to lock the door before stripping out of my nightie, leaving me stark naked. I headed back to the bed before opening to the steamiest scene in the book. My heart pulsated as I circled my boobs with my warm palms, my eyes closed, and my head thrown back as I bit my lip. I pinched my already hard nipple, letting out a small and almost silent moan. I felt a warm feeling spreading through my body, an electrifying feeling, and a rush of adrenaline. "Fuck!" I cursed under my breath, running my fingers through my body, and as my hand made it down there, I gently rubbed my neatly shaved pussy. I pressed my thighs together as warmth spread down there. "Ugh! Fuck!" My heartbeat quickened as I rubbed my fingers against my pussy, grabbing my boob with my other hand as I cried out pleasurably. My pussy was swollen and dripping wet, ready for a touch, and I didn't hesitate before sliding two fingers inside myself, letting out a gasp as I sucked in a moan. I drilled my fingers inside my pussy, making sure to touch every corner of my wall while clenching it tightly around my fingers. It felt good. So fucking good, but I bet it wasn't as good as being fucked or touched by Lucien. Just when will my fantasy be satisfied? I felt shivers running down my spine, settling down there, my skin tingling with anticipation. Anticipation for a moment that probably won't ever happen. A moment I barely had hope for. I fingered myself with my two middle fingers, enjoying every bit of it, until I felt my core tightening, warmth spreading through my body, my body shaking as though it was electrified. A sign that I was close to orgasm. I didn't stop, but increased my pace until I exploded, releasing all my cum on the bed. To the last drop. I thought that was going to help me feel relieved, but it barely helped. Instead, my mind was even more clouded by the thought of Lucien. The thought of what he probably was doing with that woman now, and it was so annoying. I sat on the bed, breathing heavily and flipping through the pages of the book, barely concentrating on reading, trying to find something that could really distract me. As much as I wanted to use a sex toy, there was none available. I could've gotten one to satisfy me, but then, my dad only told me a day before he travelled that I would be coming here, and I couldn't order and have it delivered to me before moving. The last one I had was discarded a couple of months ago after my mom almost caught me using it on myself. I had never been laid by any man, but I was sure I had lost my virginity already. I mean, I've been fucking dildo for years now, so I obviously wasn't a virgin anymore. I used to brag about wanting to lose my virginity on my wedding night, but crazily ended up probably losing it to a mere dildo. Well, what would you have me do when I couldn't allow myself to be touched by any other man? When I was waiting for Lucien to take me even if it was going to take eternity? After flipping through the book for what seemed like forever, I tossed it away, then got off from bed and headed into the bathroom to shower again since I was messed up down there. ***** I could barely sleep all through the night as I kept tossing on the bed, my mind occupied by the thought of Lucien, and the imagination of what they would be doing inside the room haunting me. Once it was morning, I headed to the bathroom to have a cold bath, and as I stepped back inside the room minutes later, a knock on the door welcomed me. I rolled my eyes and hesitantly reached for the door. I was welcomed by Lucien standing with his hands tucked inside the pocket of his black suit. He was fully dressed. Wait... Is he going out this early morning?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
