A slight tension rippled between all four of them. Just then, the waitress came up to the table with Jordan and Zara's order. She set it down carefully. The situation became a little more awkward after she left."Mr. Brown, you are here to have dinner, aren't you? Why don't you go ahead?" Jordan finally broke the silence, glancing at Scott's company.For some reason, Scott smiled brightly. "Yes, we are. But I forgot to make a reservation before coming here. We were on our way out when I heard your sweet sweet words."Zara instantly felt uncomfortable. She sensed something in his tone. And it wasn't good. When he moved closer to the table with his companion, she bit her tongue and cursed him out in her mind. Jerk! Why don't you just go your own way? Why did you have to stop? Don't even dare do what I think you are about to do!Suddenly, Scott pulled the chair nearby and said with feigned politeness, "We already came a long way. Since you reserved a large table, how about we sit with yo

Scott's eyes glowed red like torches. After slamming his glass down on the table, he glanced at the two of them as if he was some kind of cop they were obligated to answer to."What do you mean?" Zara frowned at him. "Watch your tone. Even if you want to ask such a personal question, you shouldn't use that tone.""Huh? What's wrong with my tone?" He turned to face her squarely.She rolled her eyes and took a bit of the spare ribs as if he hadn't addressed her. The expression she had on her face was indifferent. However, she was panicking inside. Can he just drop it already? Why did he flare up? Was he jealous? Did he think he was free to date anyone he liked while she was supposed to stay celibate forever? How arrogant of him! It wasn't until Scott was about to flare up again that Jordan finally piped up. "As she said, we have been dating for quite a while now. We would appreciate it if you—"Scott cut him off. "For how long have you had eyes for her?""I beg your pardon?" "Answer t
Open Marriage: It Takes Two To Tango CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE: A Broken Record
Were her eyes playing tricks on her? Was she hallucinating right now? Why the hell was she seeing this man standing at her doorstep in the middle of a rainy night?Zara blinked hard and looked again. When the image before her didn't disappear, she uttered in disbelief, "Scott? What are you doing here?""Break up with him," Scott repeated. Zara was even more stunned. She stared at him as his mouth quivered. He was soaking wet as if he had jumped into a pool, fully-clothed."What's wrong with you? Why did you show up here in the middle of the night?" she asked, folding her arms over her bosom."Break up with him."Hell, he was sounding like a broken record now. Zara's frown deepened. She didn't even know what to say to him. How could he come all the way here just to tell her those four words? Wait a minute!A stench suddenly hit Zara's nose. It was so pungent that she wondered why it hadn't gotten to her before now. Scott reeked of alcohol. Finally, she understood why his eyes were dro

A squeal came from Jayden the next second. The little boy threw his head back and laughed out loud. In contrast, Scott looked horrified as he stared at his reflection in the mirror. He looked an absolute mess.Asides from the thick large circles around his eyes, there were small lines like whiskers at each corner of his mouth. His eyebrows were also darker than usual. On his cheeks were several small circles."What's the noise about?" Zara suddenly showed up at the top of the stairs. She rushed downstairs in a matter of seconds. After glancing at her son who was cracking up, she looked at Scott. "Why aren't you saying anything? What happened here?"Hearing this, Scott, who was backing her, slowly turned around with his hands on his cheeks. Zara's eyes widened as soon as she saw the large circles around his eyes. And when he dropped his hands, she looked even more stunned. "Who did that to you?"Even before Scott could answer, she sharply looked at her son who was still laughing out lo
Open Marriage: It Takes Two To Tango CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE: Runaway Driver
A honk was heard as the taxi driver slammed into the steering wheel. On the other hand, Scott's forehead hit the headrest of the passenger seat. His mind went fuzzy due to the impact. Other cars on the road came to a screeching halt one after the other. Honks came from all corners in an instant. Scott shook his head as he saw stars. Leaning back, he held his forehead and opened the door. He got out just in time to see a rickety white car making a sharp swerve to another lane from behind the taxi. There was a dent on its bumper, so this meant one thing—that was the car that just hit the taxi."Hey! Stop right there!" Scott yelled as the car sped away. He took note of the number plate before it went out of sight. Something about that car seemed familiar. Where had he seen it before?*****Scott's head was still banging by the time he returned home. Somehow, the taxi driver had managed to continue the ride. To show his appreciation, Scott wired him some money to repair the damage done

Scott sputtered a laugh. "Oh, come on! How did you arrive at such a conclusion?""Do I have to spell it out for you?" Leonard sounded irritated. "You said it yourself that the car bumped into the taxi you were in out of nowhere and also sped off as if nothing happened. Based on your description, the damage on the taxi was a little serious, which means the hit was intentional."These words got Scott thinking. The accident played out in his mind again. Indeed, it was very odd. Maybe Leonard was right. But who hated him so much to want to kill him?Leonard piped up. "You're seeing it now, aren't you?""Yeah," replied Scott, nodding slowly. "But who would want to kill me? I haven't offended anyone recently. My company isn't doing too well lately, so I don't have haters on my tail. The last company I acquired was done with mutual understanding. Everyone went home happy. I can't think of anyone who is angry with me right now."Leonard rubbed his chin. "You sure about that?"Unsure, Scott co

"What!" Leonard and Anthony exclaimed at the same time. They looked at each other before Anthony spoke again, "Don't do it, Scott. I get that you are angry, but what if he's really the one after you? What if he attacks again?""He's right. You barely just survived the accident. I was even thinking of asking you to go to the hospital to get checked. You know, for internal bleeding and all. I could even go over to attend to you myself," Leonard uttered with worry. "Don't go over to Steven's. Take a taxi to the hospital and I'll meet you there."Scott grabbed his keys. "No, thanks. I feel fine. The bump on my forehead will go down once I put more ice on it. But that will come later. I have gotta confront that old idiot. Something tells me he has a hand in this. Let's talk later, guys!""No, Scott. Don't—" Leonard began, but the line suddenly went dead.Scott ran out of the house. He was just about to get in the car when he remembered something; he hadn't told Cora he was going out.Consi
Open Marriage: It Takes Two To Tango CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT: Chivalry Isn't Dead
Scott couldn't think of any other person no matter how he tried. Currently, his biggest enemy was Jordan. Oh, he hated that man so much!Jordan was a no-nonsense businessman, but he rarely had issues with people as long as they did their jobs well. Although Scott had a bone to pick with him, he didn't think it would be the other way around.It appeared Zara had chosen Jordan over him. The guy won, so there was no reason to come after him. Scott was actually the one who had intentions to sabotage Jordan and frustrate him.Thinking of this, Scott looked at Steven who was now seated again in his chair. The older man was staring at him with his hand on his chin. There was something about this man that didn't sit right with Scott. He couldn't place his finger on it, but he found Steven very sinister."I'll put off telling Cora about this for now. If I find out that you have a hand in this, you'll see the other side of me. And that's going to be very soon!" Scott threatened.Steven laughed,
