View MoreSCARLETT’S POVI woke up to a sound I hadn’t heard in a long, long time.A baby’s cry.At first, I thought I was dreaming. I stayed still on the bird, confused. But then it came again, louder this time. Okay… really loud.“This is definitely real”. I couldn’t help but say out loud.I sat up, my heart pounding against my chest. My room was dim, so reached for the lamp beside my bed and turned it on, still no sign of a baby.frowning, I reached for the robe at the edge of the bed, shrugged it over my shoulders, and slipped out of the room barefoot.The cry of the baby was the only thing I was focused on as I went down the hall, past the staircase, and into the wide living room.There, under the warm wash of the chandelier’s light, stood Damian.He looked nothing like the stone-faced CEO I worked for during the day, or my contract husband who like to frown all the time. He was barefoot, wearing a fitted black T-shirt and soft grey pants. But that’s not what caught my breath.It was the b
In a dimly lit room half a city away, a woman stood with her back to the window, her phone still in hand. The glow from the screen shows the sharp edge of her jaw, her lip painted red. The screen showed a familiar number, the one that had sent the message to Scarlett. Her fingers hovered over the screen for a moment before she locked the device and slipped it into her coat pocket.A man in gray suit sat opposite her and adjusted his cufflinks without looking up. “You made contact?” he said.“She didn’t reply,” the woman said at last.“She doesn’t need to,” the man replied, still not looking.“The message was meant to shake, not to start a conversation.” He continued as picked up a cigarette from the pack and lighted it.The woman laughed quietly. “It did more than shake. He reacted.”“So you saw him?”“At the office,” she confirmed. “He was trying to pretend nothing was wrong. But Scarlett? She looked like she couldn’t breathe.”The man leaned forward slightly, flicking ash from the c
Scarlett’s voice still echoed in my head "Damian... what the hell is going on?"I couldn’t answer her. Not honestly. Not yet.Instead, I took the phone from her hand and slipped it into my coat pocket. “We’re leaving,” I said flatly.She blinked. “What do you mean, we’re leaving? What about your grandmother?”“We’ll go see her,” I replied, already heading for the elevator. “Let’s not keep her waiting.”She caught up, arms folded across her chest. “Are you going to tell me what that message meant?”I didn’t even look at her. “Drop it, Scarlett. It’s none of your concern.”I heard her scoff softly “none of my concern? In case you seem to forget, the message was sent to MY phone, so it is every bit of my concern.”“Someone is clearly threatening me,” she continued. “And you expect me to just sit quietly like a doll while you handle it in secret?”“You are under my protection,” I said coldly. “That's all you need to know.”“Protection without context is not safety, Damian,” she snapped.
CHAPTER 27DAMON’S POVThe elevator ride to the top floor was very quiet, not even one of us wanted to say anything to each other. I turned slightly to look at Scarlett, her fingers curled around the strap of her handbag as we walked toward my private office. After what just happened with Julian downstairs I don’t know why, but I just feel angry and I shouldn’t be, I needed to get my head straight before taking her to Nana’s house. She had this pout on her lips as we moved, which made me smile a little. She had assumed I’ll take her straight to Nana’s house after we had left the house this morning, but I had surprised her by saying I needed to stop by the office to sign a few urgent documents.I walked toward my desk without another word, I could see Scarlett glancing around, unsure whether to sit or hover."You can wait there,” I told her, nodding towards the couch near the window. “I won’t take long."She nodded and quietly walked over to the couch, her heels tapping softly against
A knock on the door and Damian groaned, making to continue his administrations on Scarlett’s body.She loved every bit of it, but She couldn't let whoever was there stand for long.“Ignore them. They would go away and let us be if you do.” He whispered, acting like a hormonal teenager who was hav
“Rose. I was drunk and I would have never done something like that to my best friend. You disgust me to the point that I'm still irritated.You also know that you caused what made Damian to fall out of love with you, he's married to a very beautiful and respectful woman.Someone you can never be.”
“Don't make any excuses. You were supposed to tell me about my stepson, that was the right thing to do. Or was he with his mother? Is she still alive?" Scarlett asked, her eyes gleaming with anger as she clenched her fist in annoyance. “Woman, keep your emotions in check or I would do that for yo
“Why are you asking? Do you know anyone by that name?" Scarlett asked, her blood running faster then the streams in a way that needed urgent medical attention. She was scared that Rose will take out her threats, which means she would be killed for something she had no say in. “Ah!! Yes, just outs
