Chapter 6
Scarlett Wolff Are you alright? Lucien's worried face had welcomed me last night as I opened the door for him when he knocked. My scream was so loud while I was playing with myself that he heard me from his room. You can imagine the level of embarrassment I felt at that moment, but thankfully, I was able to brew a lie so quickly. My stomach grumbled angrily the moment I heard that woman's voice as she descended the staircase along with Lucien. She was fully dressed, so I guessed she would be leaving soon. Thank goodness. My heart fluttered when I set eyes on my charming fantasy, looking all hot in his black outfit. Gosh! The little part of his chest revealed made me hot in between my legs, the thought of running my fingers through his chest while drawing invisible lines on it made me wet down there. “Good morning, Scarlett,” the woman smiled at me broadly, her face looking bright like something good happened last night. Oh, yeah. Something good must've happened between them last night. And what the fuck was good about the morning when that bitch is here? “Hmm…” I hummed, turning to Lucien with a smile on my face as I said. “Good morning, Sir. I made breakfast,” “I'm heading out, Scarlett. Go ahead and eat without me,” his words cut deep through my heart like a dagger. He gave me a smile that lasted for split seconds before disappearing. And as if he didn't notice the sadness on my face, he left without sparing me a glance. My heart sank into my stomach, my eyes stung with tears building in them, and I didn't try to hold them back as I allowed them fall freely down my cheeks. I rushed to the window to watch them hopping inside the car, and all I felt was anger and jealousy. My attention was drawn away by the sound of my ringing phone, and I rolled my eyes as I brought it out of my pocket, and I rolled my eyes when I saw when I saw that it was my best friend, Alexa. I couldn't bring myself to ignore her call, so I took it and held the phone to my ear. “Hey! Where the hell are you? I came over to the house but you were nowhere to be found. Have you forgotten we have lectures today?” Her angry voice sounded from the other end, and the realisation dawned on me that it was the beginning of a new session in the school, and I needed to be there since lectures was starting right away. Yes, I'm still a student. In my finals in college, actually. “Ugh!” I groaned, hurrying to the staircase. Heaven knows that I didn't have plans of leaving the house today, but I didn't have a choice now. “You can go ahead, Alex. I'll meet you in school,” I ended the call as I made my way into my room. It took me an hour and a half to get ready for school, and once I was done, I grabbed my bag and dashed out of the house. Since I didn't bring my car to stay with me here, I was left with the only choice of boarding a cab to school. I was too annoyed that I didn't even bother to inform Mr. Lucien about it before leaving. I could barely concentrate on my way to the school as my mind was clouded by the thought of Mr. Lucien and that bitch he was with earlier. The thought of them being on the bed, kissing, and maybe fucking each other made my skin crawl. How could he do this to me? I've been keeping myself for him for years, I never gave any man an access to my body, how could he fuck any woman like it was nothing? “We are here, Ms,” came the cab man's voice, and I realised that he was already pulled over in front of my school, Queen's university. Alexa was just stepping out of her car by the time I walked inside the school spacious compound. The garage had many cars parked in it. This was a prestigious school that only rich kids attends, so almost every single students has a car or two. Any student who didn't have a car was probably their choice, or the scholarship students. “The hell, Scarlett! Where is your car?” Alexa shrieked, her eyes widening as soon as she set eyes on me. She was graced in a pair of blue jean trousers, pink crop top, and a pair of white sneakers. Her blonde hair was packed up in two tight buns. “My goodness! You look pale. Are you sick? Do you want me to take you to the infirmary?” She placed a hand on my forehead, asking with concern. “I'm fine, Alex. Let's go to class,” Unlike every other day that I would joke around with her, I didn't feel like it today. I was overwhelmed by what happened today and ended up neglecting my best friend without even knowing it. I walked ahead of her while she followed me, trying to catch up with me. “Come on, Scarlett. Can you talk to me? You are scaring me. You don't look fine and you are going to keep it to yourself? What happened?” She didn't give up asking me as she followed me until we got inside the class, and thankfully, the lecturer was already in class. My seat was already occupied by another student, so I had to make do with the vacant seat. Thankfully, Alexa found somewhere else to sit since it was only a seat available where I went to sit. I could barely concentrate during the lecture, and after what seemed like eternity, it finally ended. “Hey!” I rolled my eyes when I heard the familiar annoying masculine voice behind me. It was Derek, the school hottie whom I didn't find hot. The only person who was hot to me was Lucien and nobody else. Derek has been on my neck since year one, and he still hasn't given up even after telling him countless times that I wasn't interested. “Hey, Scarlett. Do you want to have lunch with me later?” He came to stand in front of me, his pair of grey eyes piercing at me, a grin spread across his lips, revealing his set of white teeth. The smile every lady in school would die to see, but I find it attractive. “No, Derek. I'm not interested,” I told him point blank…Chapter 51Vladimir Pietro‘'Everything has been moved to the warehouse, boss'A smile spread across my lips while reading the text Vladimir had just sent to me a couple of seconds ago.'I'll be there shortly. Wait for me along with the boys' I replied to his text. I was getting ready to leave the office when a knock sounded on the door, and I ushered in whoever was there.It was Liam. My secretary.“Yes, Liam?” I barely spared him a glance as I was busy switching off my desktop.“There is an encrypted email for you, Sir. I already forwarded it to you via email. Also, the proposal for Mr. Grants has been concluded,”I raised my gaze to meet his head sitting on his 6’3ft height. His blue eyes were looking straight at me, but he lowered them the moment I made eye contact with him.“Send the proposal to the Grants corp and let me know their reply later. As for the email, I will check it later,” I told him, and he bowed slightly before turning to leave.“Liam…”He paused, turning to me
Derek 'Let's be friends' My heart ached as those words kept repeating in my head. What was she trying to say? That I wasn't good enough for a relationship? I wasn't her type of man? Who was then? That old man? She's going to regret this. The fading reverberating laughter on the rooftop brushed my ears as I took the stairs up, but was welcomed by Alexa standing close to the rail with her phone pressed to her ear with her right hand, and her left hand holding the rail. “That's sweet. I love you too,” I watched as she concluded her call. She flinched when she turned and found me standing with my hands tucked inside my pockets. “Derek?” She pulled a surprised face, and I finally walked up to her. “Have you been standing there?” She raised her eyebrows, and I scoffed silently. Bitch! I wasn't eavesdropping on your conversation. I put on a smile, shaking my head and said. “I just got here. I only heard ‘that’s sweet. I love you',” She breathed out, relief creeping up her face.
Chapter 48 Derek “It's the class president,” “Derek is here,” My classmates were quick to announce my presence as I made my way into the meeting hall where almost all my classmates were already waiting. My eyes dropped on Scarlett, and I almost smiled when I saw her standing out perfectly in the crowd. How she was always able to melt my heart in a way that no one woman could ever do, was something I couldn't still wrap my head around. Perhaps, she was just a special being. I made my way to the front of the hall, the noise slowly died down as I stood behind the podium until the loud silence took over. Even the sound of a pin drop would be heard at that moment. “Uh…” I began, taking a short deep breath. I wasn't cut out for this, but what could I do when I had to address the happenings? Damn the school rector for putting me up to this. I wouldn't be here if he hadn't asked me to. 'The school is already in chaos, Derek. You need to address this' He had pleaded with me while a

Chapter 46 Scarlett Wolff “How is Mr. Hottie?” Alexa whispered in my ear as we headed into the class, and I chuckled. My mind was about to explode, and I really needed to let out everything because I couldn't keep it inside me. What happened was too much to handle. “He is fine,” I smirked at her, and she gasped, covering her mouth. “Something happened, right? You better tell me everything without leaving a single thing out,” she pointed her index finger at me as we walked to take a seat, and I chuckled. “I wasn't planning to,” I smirked at her, and she chuckled. “That is why I love you. Now, spill the beans,” she kicked the air excitedly, covering her face as her cheeks flushed. I told her everything that happened between Lucien and I this morning, and by the time I was done narrating everything, she was sitting frozen on the spot with her eyes widened. “All that happened?” She cupped her cheeks in her palms, raising an eyebrow questioningly. “Fuck! This is… my goodne
Chapter 46 Derek I felt a surge of anger as I watched Scarlett stepping out of the car that just came to drop her off in front of the school gate. It was the same person who came to pick her from my house last night. The way she smiled as she waited until he drove off, left a sting in my heart. Even though it looked like it, I refused to believe it. She couldn't have a thing with that man. I refused to even think of it even though it was obvious. I walked over to her, arriving at the time she turned to come inside through the gate. She paused the moment she saw me, shock was written on her face. Was she hoping no one would see her when she was busy showing him off like he owned her? “Hey!” She smiled at me. “Good morning,” “Hmm. Good morning,” I tucked my hands inside my pockets, and briefly looked in the direction the car went as if I could still see it, before turning my gaze back to her. “I see you got home safely last night,” I gave her a smile, even though I was burn
Chapter 44Scarlett WolffMy heart thumped hard against my ribcage as Lucien slid his hand underneath my robe, caressing my bare thigh. My stomach became dry, the air around me thickened and became hard to take in, making my breath almost shallow.I felt a warm feeling spread across my body, my skin tingling with anticipation as I threw my head back on the wall, resisting the urge to moan.'You can't do this, Scarlett. You can't let him touch you just like that after what he did'I reminded myself, gathering all the courage left in me to push him back roughly.“Don't touch me!” My voice almost betrayed me, but I was glad I could still sound cold. I threw him a glare before walking out of the bathroom, slamming the door behind me.Lucien followed me into the room, grabbing my hand and pulling me back as I crashed against his back, but I yanked his hand off and stepped away from him.“You don't fucking touch me like you own me, Mr. Lucien. Don't cross your boundary,” it's crazy how I wa
Chapter 43Scarlett Wolff“Here… change into this,” Derek handed me a robe after he gave me a room to spend the night in.“Thank you,” I muttered, and he gave me a smile.“Call me if you need anything. Make yourself comfortable,” he said to me before leaving the room, and I went to lock the door once he was out of the room, throwing myself on the spacious queen-sized bed once it was just myself inside the room.My mind wandered off to the thought of Lucien, and I bit my lip hard. After trying to reach him earlier with no success, I had left the house to go look for him though I had no idea where I could find him. That was until I got freaked out in the middle of the road. I tried calling Alexa, but she didn't take her call, and I presumed she probably had her phone silenced before going to bed. At that moment, the only person I could reach out to was Derek, and I was glad he came right in time to save me from that cold and scary night.I reached for my phone, and it was then I saw a m
