“Coffee?” Scarlett said, raising the mug in her hand. She entered Kaleb’s study that afternoon while the man was busy going over some documents. “Thank you, my kitten. Come here,” he said while winking at her. He then urged her to take the seat in front of him. Putting the warm beverage on the desk, Scarlett informed, “Liam is sleeping. He is still tired from yesterday. I thought you didn’t work on Sundays.” “Hmmm.” Kaleb reached for the coffee and replied, “Most times, it can’t be helped, but I at least bring work home. Though, this is not work. I’m reviewing what Archer has planned for taking down your former manager, Miss Cook, at the herbal twist restaurant.” “You are what? You don’t have to - “ “Of course, I do. I’m not letting this go, Scarlett. God knows what would have happened to you if you did not have the courage to kick that man’s balls,” Kaleb responded. He took a sip of his coffee and said, “And no, you can’t make me change my mind. After your manager, I’m going af

“This way, Scarlett,” Kyle said, pointing to the biggest room on the floor. Scarlett was feeling bashful with the fact that Kaleb’s brother, the CEO of The Wright Diamond Corporation, was walking her to the Vice President’s office. Everyone’s eyes were staring at her, clearly speculating her identity. Eventually, they arrived at the designated room, and then Kyle pointed to the lock, saying, “You can stay in his office while waiting for Kaleb. I already asked my assistant to bring you coffee and treats.” “Um. Thank you, Mister -” “Kyle, you can call me Kyle,” Kaleb’s brother proposed. He repeated to point to the door and suggested, “Open it with your thumb. It has your biometrics saved.” Noticing Scarlett's perplexed expression, Kyle explained, “Yes, it’s a smart digital door lock. While I could open the door for you, it’s best to understand how I am familiar with you. You see, we all know you; by face, and under the name of Beauty." Scarlett was taken aback at the discovery.

Scarlett was feeling emotional while staring at the front of the Barnes mansion. She took deep breaths, her feet nearly retreating as her fears take over her. Recalling the last time she was here, her parents castigated her for assaulting Courtney and for shaming the name of the Barnes. They never believed her side of the story, claiming that Scarlett was jealous of her adopted sister. It was true, though. She really was jealous. Scarlett should have the love of her parents and not Courtney. She felt she should be the one living a comfortable life and not her fake sister. Not her parent’s fake daughter. But why was her life so pathetic? Despite being the legitimate daughter, she was the one who was cast aside! She felt Courtney was very selfish to silently keep her own biological parents away from her. Greatly, she sucked in a breath. Her eyes closed as she reached for the handles of the massive double doors, and with all her courage, she entered the home. “Scarlett, it’s good

“Me? I am not expecting anybody.” Courtney turned to Luca’s curious face, and she shrugged. “Aurora, we are in the middle of a very important discussion,” Cindy reminded. She walked over to the door with her blood still boiling, angered at Scarlett’s earlier announcement. “Misses Barnes, it’s just that he insisted, and he did not look like a simpleton,” Aurora reasoned. Her eyes briefly looked back, as if checking if the visitor followed behind her. “Who is it then?” Courtney inquired. “His name is Kaleb Wright,” Aurora replied, her eyes going to Courtney as if trying to find an answer. “I thought the last name was very familiar.” “Kaleb Wright?” Luca asked. His face could not help but frown following yesterday’s encounter with the man at The Wright Diamond Corporation. He cast Courtney a puzzled look, asking, “And why would he be looking for you, Courtney?” “Um. I’m not sure. Maybe at the gala?” Courtney blushed. She instantly recalled an event that went back four months ago

“Kaleb - Aaah.” With dreamy eyes, Scarlett suggested, “We - we should really go to the room - Mmmm.” Scarlett was lying on the sofa seat, with Kaleb on top of her. He was kissing her, his hand senselessly massaging her bosom from inside her usual t-shirt dress. His hips ground against her pelvic area, giving her a feel of his hardness. The two had been making out for minutes, and Kaleb was just about ready to receive his reward. Hearing her plea, Kaleb got up and said, “No, kitten. Here is fine. Liam is already asleep. No one can disturb us.” After peeling off her completely, he took off his top, and he grabbed Scarlett’s hand, saying, “My turn to lie down.” Before doing so, Kaleb required, “Take off your sleeping dress, kitten. I want to feel every part of your skin.” Sheepishly, Scarlett did so as he requested. When her eyes landed back on Kaleb, she found him laying on the sofa, his pajamas were already down on the floor. His large rod was springing back and forth, his hand ho
