Scarlett

‘Sometimes love can't wait for billionaires to be behind the curtains so anything is bound to happen. Can somebody please tell us what Daniel's hand is doing at that opening?’

The headline said.

Not even an hour has gone by and such posts have started circulating. I wondered what would happen if Mr. Gray came across this. It wouldn't look good at all, especially now that I have just started working.

    CHAPTER 125Aldric Mr. Ross clapped his hands and then began to laugh as though whatever I said was tickling him or something. “Aldric Stone, do you have any idea who the hell you're talking to?" he asked with a serious tone.I could see the frown lines visible on his face as though my body being in a casket was the next thing I should expect.“I don't care who you are, Mr. Ross. Touch Scarlett and you'll see who the hell I am instead," I responded."You will wish you never said this Aldric Stone. I'm going to make sure of that,” he patched my shoulder. "Try me,” I said and then walked away. I could tell that his men were so thirsty to capture me but couldn't since they knew I wasn't alone.I entered my car and then drove home. There I found the maids trying to stop Nia from breaking the glass in my house.What the hell?“I'm tired! I've tried but he won't look at me!" I could hear her shouting.“I hate Scarlett. If I see that bitch I'm going to kill her, I swear," Nia said before

    CHAPTER 124Aldric I've asked Melissa and her dad to stay away from Scarlett but they wouldn't listen. I've to place some special force agents around Scarlett for extra safety.After she fell asleep on my shoulder I placed her on the bed and then went to get breakfast downstairs. I knew she was going to be hungry when awake. “You didn't have to get that," she said with a smile on her face as I walked into the room.“I had to. You don't have to worry about anything love," I took a seat next to her after placing the tray on the table next to the bed.“Uncle Aldric, did you prepare that?" Gina asked with curiosity written all over her face.“No sweetie. The maids did and I only went to get it," I smiled.“Would you like some?" Scarlett asked her.“Yes mommy," she answered before Scarlett placed her in the middle.I took the tray and placed it on Scarlett's lap and then watched as they were having breakfast. I could tell Gina was enjoying everything.“I need to finish something quickl

    CHAPTER 123Nia He left just to go see Scarlett as if me being sick isn't that important too. I even had to pretend to sleepwalk just to sneak into his room. I should have just climbed the bed and slept next to Aldric. So that I could inhale his breath.Things weren't going to be this hard if only Scarlett weren't in the picture. After Aldric asked if there was something I hadn't told him when he found me on his couch. I made my way back to the guestroom and just drowned in my disappointment.The next morning, I found out that Aldric had gone to Scarlett's place after a Mafia member had almost attacked them. That wasn't bad from my side, in fact, I wish he had gotten close enough to Scarlett.“Nia what are you doing here so early?" Aldric's PA asked as she walked into the living room.“Uhmm I didn't go home yesterday," I smiled.“What? I mean is everything OK?" “Yes, I just had a headache, and Mr. Stone asked me to stay," I lied. “OK, I see that you're off today. Would you like me

    CHAPTER 122Scarlett I sat upright after hearing the sound of a glass breaking downstairs. That was unusual.Could somebody have broken in?My head was just filled with different thoughts after what happened at the event when Aldric and I were about to make our way out.I dialed Zoe's number, but she wasn't picking up, which meant she was somewhere in Miguel's room. I got out of bed and then went to stand on my balcony but something looked weird.My gate was open and I couldn't see any security there. It looked as if all my men were nowhere to be found. Knowing how much danger I could be in I quickly made my way into my bedroom and called Jenny.“Ma'am is everything OK?" she asked in a sleepy tone.“I think there's a break in," I answered in a low tone.“What?!" she asked in a loud tone.“You need to go get Gina," I answered and then picked up Zoe's incoming call.“Hey, is Aldric back?" she joked before I told her what was going on.I could hear footsteps at my door and just hoped

    CHAPTER 121Aldric“That was rude," she whispered since Damien was right behind us.We stayed at the event for a few more minutes and then made our way to the door. Just as we were about to reach the corridor, a group of black suited men with covered faces blocked our way, and I didn't even have to wonder who they were.I knew they were from the Ross Mafia.“Hello, beautiful," one said about holding Scarlett's chin, but I held their hand, and they hit me with their fist.“You want to play big boy now," he said while the others surrounded us.“Don't touch her," I said while Scarlett asked if I was OK.I could tell that she was very scared.“I'm fine, babe. You don't have to worry about anything," I said after I finally stood up."You still have the nerve to talk while—”"Boys!” I clapped my hands, and a group of special forces men walked out of the rooms in every direction. “What the hell?" the guy who hit me said after realizing everyone on his team had laser guns pointed at them.“

  • TRUTH OR DARE: WHEN A QUEEN TAKES HER CROWN    CHAPTER 120

    CHAPTER 120Aldric My heart pounds faster than usual every time I'm with Scarlett. Her beauty is enough to make a man fall all over again for her. I've been thinking about proposing but the fear of her still not being ready just kept holding me back.We kept talking about going on a vacation during the holidays on our way to the event at Hotel Dynasty before getting there.The entrance was crowded and all kinds of people were there. Fans, elites, and journalists. Waiting for their next headline. I got out of the car and opened the door for Scarlett while the crowd wildly screamed with excitement.If it wasn't for our security I'm sure they would have run towards us. “Mr. Stone, how do you feel coming here tonight?" a reporter asked her microphone right in my face."Great,” I smiled."Ms. Brown do you think he's any different from Daniel Cross?” another asked Scarlett.“You don't have to answer that," I whispered with a smile on my face as I could see how uncomfortable they were try
