The Scoundrel's Hero Chapter 21
Vincent’s POVThe look on her face as she brought in the guests was priceless. I knew how tensed she will be after the experience here in the office. I had just wanted to humiliate her as soon as she entered my office earlier, but being close to her at that point almost made me lose my self control. Her lips looked enticingly beautiful and full up close. It took up my whole self control not to kiss her at that point. I had watched her bite her lips a couple of times, and I am guessing it was becoming a habit, but each time she does that, it sends a shudder through me, and I would always feel the need to claim her lips. As much as I wanted to kiss her so badly, watching her close her eyes tightly as though in anticipation of the kiss, I couldn’t help the smile that spread across my lips. She looked so adorable, and again, it became really hard to fight the urge to kiss her. I almost did kiss her which I wasn’t sure how her reaction will be afterwards, but as I drew closer to now

Elena’s POVYou do know that you are very beautiful right? Betty asked as soon as we got to our table with our food tray well balanced on our hands. Though feeling sad and completely bothered, i let a small smile appear on my lips as we sat down. Really? I asked in forged excitement, and Betty nodded with a broad smile that displayed almost all her teeth set. Yes. When I saw you enter this morning, I couldn’t help but stare stupidly at you. Your beauty is very captivating. She said, and I just didn’t know how to reply them without sounding all cheezy. You have this rare ability which makes you stand out among all others. Maxwell chipped in as he took the next available seat, right beside Betty. Right. Because I managed to fall and spill hot coffee on my boss now makes me practically able to stand out among others. I said with a note of sarcasm that didn’t go unnoticed by them of course, because he narrowed his eyes at me. I never meant it like that. He said calmly, and I
The Scoundrel's Hero Chapter 23
Vincent’s POVShe walked through my door, looking so fucking irresistible and I had to remind myself continuously that I was supposed to be angry at her, and not staring stupidly at her. You sent for me sir? She asked calmly as soon as she was few feet away from my table. My eyes moved to her face, and I noticed a few more traces of tears, and of course her eyes were completely red, making it very obvious that she had been crying. I felt a little pain in my chest after realizing that she had been crying. It’s past lunch break, and yet you are not back at your work space, instead I find you turning my company into a lovers play spot. Care to explain why? I asked her with my hands fixed in my pant’s pockets, as I stared at her, with no hint of amusement on my face. She looked confused briefly, and then something that looked like recognition flashed through her eyes, and she sighed, her face never leaving the sad spot even for once.I’m sorry sir, it wouldn’t happen again. She

Elena's POV I felt someone tapping me and I groaned. Let me sleep Amelia please, my ass of a boss made me work so much and now I am so tired. I wanted to go see mother today, but he refused to let me go. I groaned, and surprisingly she stopped tapping me. Happy that for the first time, she listened to me and left me to sleep, I smuggled closer to my pillow, holding it as though my life depended on it. My pillow smelt nice, it smelled expensive and masculine. Unlike other pillows, this one was a bit too strong for a normal pillow, but surprisingly I felt so comfortable lying on this particular pillow. Slowly, my eyes opened, and I found myself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. The roof was dark and car like. No, I have to be dreaming. Am in a car or something? Unwilling to sit up yet, I let my eyes sweep the environment, until they settled on him….Ahhhh… I screamed and quickly sat up, moving as far away from him as possible. He was there staring down on my face with an u

Elena's POVI looked in between father and son trying as best as possible to hide the fact that I was surprised at the development. You know you still have a lot to learn as regards to our family business, and I wouldn’t want any form of any misconducts and disgrace. Mister Blackwood said as he continued eating in a dignified manner that displayed so much of his authority. My eyes slowly shifted to my boss who was sitting opposite me just in time to see him clinging his fists from rage, and his face held a great amount of rage, much more bigger than the frown that had appeared on his face when I poured hot coffee on him. I couldn’t help but wonder why he believed that his son was capable of disgracing him in business. In as much as I detest my boss, I always stand for the truth which is that my boss was one of most successful business men in the world. Suddenly enraged by his arrogance, I found myself defending my annoying boss for reasons still unknown to me. With all du

Vincent’s POVI watched her run off and I felt a little discomforting thud in my chest, and I sighed deeply. I watched her quietly until she was in the safe hands of her house, and that was when I turned to Duello whose eyes were fixed on me from the rear- view mirror. Let’s go to the base! I told him, and he nodded and resumed driving. His face I realized held a full look of confusion, and though knowing fully well the reason for that, I didn’t feel entitled to ask or explain anything to him. I was already feeling low spirited, and I wasn’t sure if it was a result of the fact Elena running out of the car crying or because of the terrible news I Just received. When she defended me before my dad, I had felt a rush of warmth run through me for that single action of hers, and seeing her relate so well with my mother brought so many emotions I haven’t felt for a long time rushing back into me. I knew I was being selfish for having to force her to pretend to be my girlfriend in

Narrator’s POVThe questions were building right inside of her, but she wasn’t sure how she will ask it so as to sound less suspicious. I will take care of your mother’s surgery and all, all you have to do is to pretend to me my girlfriend. He said seriously, and a chill ran through her. If he could easily find out about her mother, how sure was she that he didn’t know about her deal with her dad over him. How…… how did you know about this? She managed to ask, and he seemed confused. Know about what exactly? He asked in confusion which she wasn’t sure if it was real or not. Stop playing with me Mister Blackwood, how did you know about my mother? She asked in rage, and he let out a “oh” sound as realization drawn to him.Well, you made mention of her a couple of times so……. I did? She asked in surprise, and he turned to look at her with a look that questioned her sanity. You don’t remember? He asked, and she shook her head in reply. When did I ever tell you about my

Narrator’s POVIt felt like another terrible dream for her, waking up back into reality, she didn’t know what to take for her terrible flashback. “Fuck, it is happening again”. She muttered as she held unto her head in pain, and she groaned in discomfort. She had returned home from an outing with her boss, and falling into a deep slumber, she didn’t realize on time that she was dreaming about her past to the extent that she was becoming confused yet again. Vincent had promised to take care of her mother’s surgery, and also pay her a huge amount of money only for her to pretend to be his girlfriend for 3 months.
