All Chapters of Scandalously Yours: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The first task was to bring Annie to my mansion. I had Isabella take care of that while I went to my library."I have been so busy because of you..." George said as soon as he entered my private library. "There are a lot of calls from the press and since the scandal has turned to the exact opposite, your public image is recovering." "Good job," I replied as I remained focused on the book before me. "But tell me, boss," George came near me. "I have been with you three hundred and sixty five days a year and I have never seen you with Annie or even seen you have a phone call with her. Does that mean all you're doing is damage control? Both of you won't marry for real, will you?" "Why not? She is beautiful," I muttered as if it didn't matter. George literally ran over with concern written all over his face. "That's impossible!" George exclaimed. "It is, George. Do you think I am not a normal male? I love women just as much as you do..." I muttered. "Or wait! Are you perhaps... in lov

I knew I was in trouble. Things might end up turning for the worse and it would be a lie if I said I could care less. I was worried but that was all. I regretted hitting the glass cup on Duncan’s head. I should have hit him instead. I felt great momentarily but if he had died, I would be in prison forever. It was a foolish move on my part.I couldn’t remain in bed all day. I had no thought of begging Duncan or trying to restore my lost reputation. The stigma would follow me everywhere but since the deed was done, regret would be useless. I stood up and went out of the room, eager to eat something. I didn’t see Annie around so I predicted she would be in the gym or some other place where I couldn’t find her.“Get Isabella” I ordered the first maid I saw. I walked to the dining room and sat patiently to be served. The chef was alerted and he had started making breakfast. I was served some fruits in the meantime. Isabella arrived soon. I could tell she ran over because she was out of bre

I was all tensed up, no thanks to Julian. I couldn’t figure out how he was thinking so it was very risky to go all out. I could end up being embarrassed once again by him. I had been played once, it wouldn’t happen again.“What do you mean?” I played it safe.“I was talking about defining our relationship. Sometimes, it feels real with you. Other times, it doesn’t. I think I might be confused,” Julian replied calmly. I couldn’t tell if he was being sincere or not. That made me realize how much trust could do.“We have had some good times and bad times. Can’t we just leave it like that?” I asked simply.“I still want us to define it,” Julian insisted. “Do you want me to give you options?”“Go ahead,” I shrugged.“Okay,”Julian sounded so excited that I could tell. He began to mention now, “We could be just friends, best friends…”“Wait!” I interrupted. “I have no reason to be your best friend.”“Me neither. It would be a betrayal to George to pick you as my best friend…” Julian said. “I

"Several entertainment reporters have asked to see you. I suggest you see them and make good use of this scandal," my assistant, Payne, told me carefully."I give the orders," I reminded him."Yes, I am aware. That was just a suggestion," he assured me. "Julian is in a big mess this time, and you can bury him once and for all. I am very happy for you, boss."I smiled. "It was all your idea. You deserve credit for that."Payne was excited. Indeed, he was the one who suggested that I invite Julian and push him until he made a mistake. Payne stood by, took the whole video, and posted it. He had been working with me for a year and, apart from Annie, he was the one who knew me best.Well, did Annie really know me? She knew a lot about me, but it took her a long time to find out what I had been doing with the actresses and models signed under my company. She was really slow."Get one of those reporters. Only one," I told Payne."Then I will bring a reporter from Empire Entertainment News. T

"Then tell me..." Annie told me as she gazed at me seriously. "Have your feelings for her died completely?" "Yes, I no longer have feelings for her," I replied dryly. The truth was, I doubted myself. I thought about her sometimes and I even stalked her online, wanting to know what she was up to. I was sure I hadn't gotten over her completely but as for what I had for her, I couldn't consider it as love. When I heard about her divorce, I didn't see it as a chance for us to get back together. I felt bad for her, knowing that the divorce would have made her really sad. "So what are you going to do now?" Annie asked me after the tension had subsided. "I'm not sure," I muttered calmly. "Maybe it's time to go out of my hiding and to the world." Annie nodded approvingly, "Right now, there is no damage control that can be done. How about we tell the truth?" "No, it will damage your reputation if it's found out that you have a past with Duncan!" I replied firmly. I wouldn't allow this no
