When Scarlett walked out of the room, she felt a little nervous to meet Ricci. Gabrielle noticed her uneasiness and frowned. "You want me to come with you?" He asked.Inhaling a deep breath, Scar shook her head. "No, I will do it. I am fine." She paused for a second before adding. "Will you wait for me here?""Hmm." He nodded in assurance.Don't know why, but his answer encouraged her to be confident and she walked inside.Immediately, a silent gasp left her lips. The room was darker than usual rooms but clear enough to see everything. Soon, her roaming eyes found the tied and tortured man.He came to the party like a gentleman and now he exactly looked like a tsunami survivor. Well, worst than that. His clothes were torn and his face bruised. Even have some cuts on his face and body. Whoever did this, clearly didn't bother about him for a second.Though Scar didn't feel bad for him. He deserved what he got.She walked close to him and stopped maintaining a little distance.Ricci was
"Whoa! Calm down Miss O'Dean. Seems like your flight is taking off?" Jonathan chuckled, helping her to organize the desk. She was in a hurry for some reason.Scarlett smiled brightly. "It's more than that. Finally found a little hope in this project. Need to reach there as soon as possible." She replied, placing the last file on the organised pile."See, I told you not to think too much. Everything will be fine because you are hardworking." He sat on his own desk. "Anyways, good luck."Scar nodded her head with a smile and thanked him for his good wish as she walked out of the office with a happy and nervous heart.It's Thursday and she chose to take her leave in the afternoon to meet lady Rebecca. The project approved her to work outside, so she didn't get any hard time going out.When she reached there, surprisingly the guard didn't ask anything else after she told her name and asked her to follow him.'Is it so easy to enter her house? He didn't even bother about my presence! What'
'Sunshine, which company do you work for?'The question caught her attention as she turned her head to face Rafaelle.Seeing her silent, Rafaelle arched his brow. "Something secret?"Quickly shaking her head she smiled. "No, it's not. I do work for Aromallure. It's one of the most famous perfume companies in the UK." She answered."Yeah, have heard about it. Who is the CEO there?" Rafaelle asked casually.Scar pursed her lips before shaking her head. "Umm... No, I don't. Well, none of the employees don't I think. The CEO is new and he never really comes out to meet us." She lied.Well, it's not a whole lie though. Gabrielle didn't meet anyone but her. He has requested her not to mention his name in front of others and keep it a secret.Scarlett didn't know why but she never asked the reason. People could have their privacy and it's not a crime.Rafaelle also didn't bother or at least not in front of her as he nodded his head. "So, what position you are in the company?""I am a perfume
'Should I warn him about her?' She thought.Hesitating, for the time being, Scarlett finally decided to speak up. "I don't know with whom you're aunt set you up, but if it's Camilla, then I hope you can be careful against her."Rafaelle arched his brow with a questioning gaze. "Why would you say that?"Scarlett didn't really want to tell him the whole truth about the drug and what happened back in the hotel. By that, she could risk revealing Gabrielle's identity in front of him and she didn't want that.Licking her dry lips she avoided his gaze before answering, "Camilla is desperate to be with you, and for that, she could do anything, even if it's something illegal... Or frame you."Just to not point anything for him she quickly added, "it's just my assumption. It might not be her too. But, if it is her, just be careful."Rafaelle chuckled, "Are you finally caring about me?" He leaned a little to her side. "Should I call off the meeting?" He teased her.Scarlett gasped, blinking her
The next evening, Scarlett was urgently called back home by her father. So, after her work she directly goes there, thinking about what drama she would be facing next."Oh, Lord." Scar inhaled a sharp breath. "Here it comes." And entered the house.Knowing her father was in the study, she went there directly. After leaving this house she never really bother to visit unless she was called. She never got the homey feeling of this place.However, when she entered the study, she paused on her track with her mouth agape in surprise.Her father was shouting at Camilla!'Oh!' She gasped inwardly. 'What the hell just happened!? He is shouting at his princess! This is too... New!' She pursed her lips. 'Anyways, what is he shouting for?'Concentrating on their words, Scarlett realised it was about the marriage arrangement. As she thought, Camilla tried to drug Rafaelle and annoyed him, which kicked her back with the loss of her candidacy."Oh darling, please calm down." Elie tried to hold her h
Scarlett did not expect Gabrielle at this point in her life. She just had a stupid and nasty argument with her father and now him? No, this is not what she wanted in her life now. She has suffered too much for a day."What do you want?" She asked, a little bit irritated by his sudden presence.Gabrielle arched his brow at her. He specifically did not expect this reaction meeting after days with her.However, he chose to ignore and the corner of his lips twitched slightly. "You..." He answered.And that was the exact reason she didn't want to face this man. Pushing his back from her, she glared at him. "Leave me alone. I am not in the mood to play with you."Her words angered him. But, that also caught his attention when he felt that her voice was broken.Confused, when he looked deep into those dark Hazel eyes, he suddenly noticed the veil of pain there with the trace of dried water on her cheeks.'She... Cried...' That's what his mind could process at that moment. He froze.Scarlett
*Mature Content*'I wish, I knew what parental love is, little bird.'The words of loss changed the situation forthwith. Scarlett, who was crying, hiding in his strong arms, gasped in silence as her tears stopped.She looked up at him to find he was staring at the wall in front, drowned in his own sorrows.She always thought he owned lots of things including a warm family. Never in her dreams, had she realised the deep sorrows he has buried behind his cold and dark veil.Her hands raised to his face and touched his cheeks.When he looked down, their eyes met. Those golden-green eyes have always been blank and cold, but not tonight.For the first time, Scar could see the emptiness in those eyes. For the first time, he didn't hide his feelings and let her watch the scarred soul he was carrying always.The intensity of the ache was too much in them that Scar almost felt she has suffered nothing. They were old, permanent, and still raw.She realised the definition behind his controlling b
*Mature Content*The bathroom door was pushed open and then closed with a loud thud behind them. And the next second Scarlett was dumped on the bed.She gasped at the sudden bounce which instantly turned into a moan when his hot wet lips crushed into hers, ravaging her with an animalistic hunger that was gone out of control.Gabrielle was still in his damp shirt. Widening her legs more to allow him access between her thighs, her hands pressed down to his chest, trying to fight with the buttons to open."Mmmhm." Scar moaned again in his mouth when his hard bulge kneaded on her wetness.Arching her bottom up to get the touch of his hardness, Scar sprawled the shirt in fervency. The buttons scattered on the floor with soft pings, widening the shirt.Her restless hands roamed around his muscled chest. Though they just came out of the shower, he was hot like a warm heater.Her anxiousness earned a deep chuckle from Gabrielle. "Needy girl we are, aren't we?""Please... Gabrielle..." She moa
