Scarlett's POV

Gerald drove me to a popular breakfast spot in the city, and I dismissed him, even when he offered to wait.

“You don’t have to wait for me, and you can lose that scowl on your face, it doesn’t suit you,” I said as I stepped out of the car and made my way into the restaurant.

I sat quietly, staring out through the glass window, and sighed heavily at my faint reflection staring back at me. I had changed over the years, and I couldn’t even pinpoint when it all happened. I used to be

    I Xavier's POV“Scarlett, are you still sleeping?” I whispered as I looked at Scarlett, who had her eyes tightly shut as she snuggled her naked body deeper into the duvet.My face beamed with a smile as I watched her sleep so peacefully, without a care in the world, and I couldn't help but think about what had happened the other night.I couldn't believe I had confessed my love to her so suddenly.But I wouldn't exactly call it a whim.I had realized my feelings for her the moment I saw her leave the station with that determined look on her face, ready to do whatever it took to get me out of prison.Her unwavering trust in me had made me emotional, and it was also when I realized that something had changed between us.My feelings for her had grown into something far more dangerous than mere obsession.That overwhelming realization had left me restless for hours until I was finally released from prison.Walking out of the station and seeing her waiting outside for me with a smile had s

    Leon's POV I had been basking in the excitement that I had leverage over Scarlett, ignoring the fact that she hadn't come to see me ever since that day. I had expected her to come the next day, but she never showed up. Shouldn't she be eager to see me after how we ended things the last time? I didn't want to believe that Scarlett didn't have the hots for me, so I decided to go to her myself. I got dressed and texted her about meeting for dinner. While I waited for her response, I got nothing. “She hasn't responded!” I exhaled sharply as I looked at my phone. It had been hours since I texted her, yet I still hadn't received a reply. I was so humiliated and angry that I thought about getting back at her by sending the video I took to Seraphina, but I knew that would ruin my plan. But Scarlett started this game first. She shouldn't blame me for being heartless. “I'll just go out with—” I was speaking when I heard a knock on my hotel room door. I had thought it was room ser

    Seraphina’s POV“That bitch! I'm sure she's packing everything that's hers in the Sinclair mansion by now,” I mumbled as I looked at my father's unconscious body lying on the hospital bed.I was more concerned about how Chairman Sinclair would react if he found out about Scarlett's extramarital affair. I wouldn't be shocked if he was throwing a fit at the moment. Would he simply divorce her, or would he make sure she never set foot in the country again?I was too excited to find out what the headlines would be tomorrow. Even though my father was lying in a hospital bed after being beaten into a coma by the chairman, I couldn't help but smile.Everything was turning out too perfectly.And as for my stepfather, I didn't feel an ounce of pity for him because I believed this was his duty to us. If getting beaten like this once in a while could help us maintain our social status, then so be it.This was the price he had to pay to keep this family together.“Seraphina,” my mother called fro

    Scarlett’s POVHow should I react to this?I thought I was going to freak out, but I was strangely calm, as if it were an everyday occurrence to discover that someone's stepson was in love with me. I mean, I had never seen Xavier in that light, and that had been my perfect little secret.He was a man in his thirties, blessed with charm and charisma, compared to his playboy father, a middle-aged man in his fifties. But that still didn't erase the line between us.Even though we had crossed that line a long time ago, I had always thought it would be just a fling, something that would die a natural death after we both got what we wanted from it. But this...If Xavier was in love with me, wouldn't that mean this affair we had going on might actually become something serious?The thought sent my mind spiraling in a hundred different directions, and I became so lost in my thoughts that I forgot about my surroundings until his soft voice pulled me out of my trance.“Breathe, Scarlett,” he wh

    Scarlett's POVThe tension in the penthouse grew thicker as I waited for Xavier to say something, and I noticed he was contemplating whether he should tell me or not. I actually wanted to tell him that he didn't have to, but I held my tongue.I wouldn't let him be disappointed."Xavier, are—""I know. I'm going to talk," he interrupted, and I nodded. "But I want you to promise me one thing," he said as he squeezed my hands lightly."What's that?""You are not going to hate me, no matter what. Promise me that," he said flatly."Hate you? You know that's not happening. We're partners, Xavier," I mumbled."I know, but that doesn't count, Mama, so promise me," he repeated."Okay, I promise you, Xavier Sinclair. I'm never going to hate you..." I trailed off as I smiled at him. "So tell me already.""I... am not a boss at a publishing company," he said, and I gasped, trying my best to act shocked."What? Then your company...""Yes, that's a camouflage," he explained."Oh, okay. So what do y

    Scarlett's POVI never knew I could be a rabid dog, but after the way I threatened my father at the station, I realized I wasn't the timid Scarlett anymore. And that change...It was all thanks to Xavier.I didn't even know I had become so tough, but being with him had shaken me up. Even though I didn't want to admit it, I had found myself doing everything to please him, which was why I couldn't bring myself to stand Leon's touch.It was as if whatever feelings I had for him had died a natural death while I was busy hating Romano for ruining my life. Then somehow, Xavier came along, giving me a reason to keep living. I hadn't even realized how exhausted I was until he appeared in my life."He's definitely my happy pill," I mumbled as I watched Xavier stroll out of the station, looking effortlessly handsome despite how pale he was.I didn't know how it happened, but I suddenly found myself wrapped in his embrace, our lips locked together. The kiss was fierce and overflowing with emotio
