“What?” Nelly quickly wiped her eyes and stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. She started rubbing her eyes, acting like she was getting something out of there. “I'm not crying, I just got something in my eye and I'm trying to get it out.” She sniffed. Scarlett stared at her, trying to figure out what the problem was because she was sure she saw her crying.When she entered the bathroom, Nelly was standing in front of the mirror, bawling her eyes out and she even heard sounds of sniffing. So how could it be that something just went into her eye?“Are you sure that's the problem? Because I could have sworn that I heard you crying just some moments ago.” Scarlett persisted but Nelly was determined to prove to her that she wasn't in fact crying.“Don't worry Scarlett, something just went in my eye, that's all there is.” She giggled and quickly wiped the tears off her face before walking to meet Scarlett who was still standing by the door with a mixed expression on her face.
Scarlett turned around to leave, but Adrian was quick to grab her by the wrist. He pulled her back, causing her to land on his chest and his hand quickly snuck around her waist, holding her in place. She looked up at the man she had grown fond of, and her heart missed a beat. He could feel her breath seize and her heart race, and even when she got weak in the knees, he expertly held her up.“You are not going to have anything to do with that motherfucker, let alone sleep with him.” He leaned in to whisper into her ear, causing her to shudder. She batted her lashes at him, her heart squeezing in hurt. She tried to conceal her pain and fury, but that proved to be difficult as the redness of her eyes gave her away. How on earth can a single person spike both love and angry reaction from her? She loved him so much and wanted him badly but at the same time, she hated him. She bit down on her lip and then looked away from him, blinking her tears away.“You can't tell me what I can or canno
Scarlett opened the door for Ethan to step and he flashed her a smile, trying to be charming. But she was far too busy trying to mask how horny she was. She adjusted her dress and led him into the living room.“Are you okay?” Ethan questioned, noticing Scarlet's discomfort. She stared at him and then gave a nod, feeling a bit flustered that he could sense what she was trying to hide. When she received his text, she couldn't deny that she had thoughts of letting him satisfy her sexual urges and she knew quite well that Ethan would jump at that opportunity but she couldn't let her guard down like that.“Are you sure? You look a bit uncomfortable.” He pointed out, giving her a scrutinizing stare but she shrugged and insisted that she was fine. Ethan decided to let it slide and threw himself on the couch, making himself comfortable.“Why are you even here?” Scarlett took a seat opposite him, crossing her legs on top of each other as she gave him a suspicious look. It was quite late and i
Vivian stared at Maxwell, surprised by his statement. She wondered what he meant and immediately got suspicious. She couldn't shake the feeling that Maxwell was up to something and that he knew something he wasn't supposed to know. This got her a bit shaken up, but she decided to shrug it off while keeping it in mind that there could be danger looming.Without saying another word to Maxwell, she trotted off to her office. Her secretary welcomed her and told her that she had sent some documents to her via email. Vivian thanked her and entered her office, settling down and bringing out her computer to work.She had decided to come to work that day to clear her records and make sure that everyone was perfect from her side. This was because Scarlett was coming for the meeting that Saturday, and she didn't want her to find any reason to embarrass her in public again. Vivian was busy working when Richard strode into her office, handsomely draped in a royal blue suit. He wore a very unpleas
After seeing the photos, Vivian became uncomfortable. It was very obvious that someone was following her and tracking her every movement, she had no idea what that person's motive was but she wasn't going to let them achieve it. Quickly, she took her purse and headed out of the room, not minding the fact that she had already paid in full. She called the boy who was supposed to meet her there and told him to forget about coming. She got into her car and drove home immediately.Vivian's hands were shaky as she drove, she was perspiring heavily as she wondered who it was that took those photos of her walking into the hotel. Why would that person do such a thing and what did he need it for? All these questions kept going through her head, causing her to develop a headache.She soon arrived at the mansion and hurriedly made her way inside, aiming to go and get some rest as it had been a very busy day for her. First, she had to prepare for the meeting that would soon be held, then the dete
Scarlett hung up as soon as Adrian said those words. She couldn't bear to listen to any more of it. She was in shock for a few seconds, she was unable to accept the fact that Adrian would never be hers. Things were moving fine a couple of weeks ago, but now it's all upside down and it left her shattered.She did nothing but blame her mother for what was happening. But at the same time, she wondered if Adrian couldn't tell that her mother was simply a whore. Why would he agree to spend the rest of his life with an old woman who goes about sleeping with young men? It didn't make any sense to her. Could there perhaps be a hidden reason why Adrian is interested in her mother?The hurt she was feeling made her think of several different possibilities. Her resentment towards her mother seemed to suddenly intensify and she thought of nothing more but to take everything away from her mother. She needed to do something that would not only distract her from her pain but also hurt her mother's f
The week went by really fast and soon, it was Friday. Scarlett had no other choice but to honor her mother's invitation, she had to attend the engagement party even though she really didn't want to. Knowing that she was about to lose Adrian to her mother broke her heart, he should have been her but he chose her mother over her. She was busy packing a few things that she would be needing for a weekend trip when the doorbell rang. She wiped the tears on her face and went to check who was at the door. Ethan was standing in front of her as soon as she opened the door, smiling broadly with a little bag he hung over his shoulder. She wasn't surprised to see him because he had told her that he would be joining her back to her mansion that day. Without saying a word, Scarlett moved out of the way for him to enter. He made himself comfortable on the couch while she went back upstairs to finish up her packing. She still hadn't recovered from the shock of losing Adrian and it was making her
“Adrian..” Vivian's excited voice sounded, causing Scarlett to quickly pull away from Adrian, letting go of his hand.“Oh, there you are.” She walked right into the kitchen, immediately picking up the awkward situation of the place. She stared at Adrian and then at Scarlett, wondering what they were doing in there alone.“Is everything alright? You both look spooked.” She pointed out. Adrian opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out as his brain was not organized at that moment. He was busy looking forward to the kiss he was going to get from Scarlett to think straight.“Scarlett, are you okay?” She noticed the pale expression on her face. Scarlett scratched her head and went straight to the fridge. She grabbed a juice box and left the kitchen without saying a word to either of them. She ran back to her room, shut the door, and remained there. “What happened?” Vivian turned to Adrian, giving him a suspicious look. She wondered if he had said anything mean to her because, as sh
