CHAPTER 112 Aldric I know things looked very bad when I ran after Melissa that day but it wasn't what it seemed like. The moment Melissa walked into Scarlett's office. I was surprised and scared at the same time. I know a powerful man like me isn't supposed to be but Melissa is the daughter of the most feared Mafia in the country. We had something going on, but I just lost interest, and everyone went their way. She's been away for the past 5 years and suddenly appeared in Scarlett's office. That was enough to scare the life out of me. I'm sure Scarlett's detail just let her in because they thought she was with me. At that moment a lot was going on in my head. Protecting Scarlett had to seem like being on Melissa's side. I know it hurt and confused her. Which is something I didn't want for her. I've never wanted to ever make Scarlett doubt me but letting Melissa walk out of there without clearing the air wasn't going to be good if anything bad happened. I ran after Melissa and th

CHAPTER 114 Scarlett "So I haven't seen your crush. Is he around or did you get those flowers yourself?” I asked her. “He's on a business trip to Vegas. I'll invite him over for dinner at—" “You're not about to have your boyfriend and crush on my mansion girl. What the hell?" "Ah, Scarlett, you don't have to make it sound like I'm the one who wants the guy, OK. It's the other way round, plus I wouldn't want anything bad between Miguel and me,” she said before I remembered something. Miguel was going on leave for a month since he hadn't gotten enough time to rest. I heard he would be going to visit his family back in Mexico. They call him almost every time. “What happens when he goes on leave?" I looked at Zoe. “I'll just be here waiting for my man. It's not like he's going forever I—" “Ms. Zoe, you have a guest," the secretary said, walking in. “Who's it?" Zoe asked before Richard showed his face. “No way. What the hell are you doing here?" She stood up then. “Please he

CHAPTER 116 Scarlett I was in the workroom trying to finish the last part of Aldric's suit when Jenny walked in and asked if I needed anything, but I was fine, so I told her to get busy. “I received flowers from Mr. Stone. Would you like me to—” "Ask my security to dispose of them,” I said to Jenny. "But ma'am you—” "Should I repeat myself?” I lifted my brows. "No ma'am. I'm sorry.” "Now do what I asked you to,” I said before she walked out. I could tell that she was confused since I hadn't mentioned a thing about what happened to us. I was honestly just not into receiving anything. “Scarlett Brown," I heard the voice of the woman who made Aldric run after her the other day. “What are you doing here?" I turned around. “Nothing much, I just thought of paying you a visit on a personal level," Melissa smiled. “I don't think I need you so you may just leave." “Not so soon darling. I just thought that you deserve to know who I am and what the hell I could do for Aldric," sh

CHAPTER 118 Scarlett “Do you think you run the world or something?" I asked since Melissa just seemed to be so filled with pride. “Oh look who's talking now. One of Aldric's pieces. I do run this world dear. I'm not somebody you should even be responding to," she smirked. “Please leave my office," Zoe said looking pissed. “Ahg this place is filled with dust particles. I wouldn't want to spend another minute here OK." "Yes, you wouldn't. I mean why are your heels so muddy?” Zoe clapped back before my eyes fell on Melissa's heels which didn't look like they had been in a neat place. “Don't push it, Zoe. You have no idea what I'm capable of, okay." “And I'm not scared, OK. So don't waste time trying to intimidate me in my own office. Get out!" Zoe said to Melissa. "You're going to pay for this and I'll be watching with a smile,” Melissa said and then walked out. The moment she shut the door I looked at Zoe before we both began to laugh at how horrible Melissa's heels looked.

CHAPTER 120Aldric My heart pounds faster than usual every time I'm with Scarlett. Her beauty is enough to make a man fall all over again for her. I've been thinking about proposing but the fear of her still not being ready just kept holding me back.We kept talking about going on a vacation during the holidays on our way to the event at Hotel Dynasty before getting there.The entrance was crowded and all kinds of people were there. Fans, elites, and journalists. Waiting for their next headline. I got out of the car and opened the door for Scarlett while the crowd wildly screamed with excitement.If it wasn't for our security I'm sure they would have run towards us. “Mr. Stone, how do you feel coming here tonight?" a reporter asked her microphone right in my face."Great,” I smiled."Ms. Brown do you think he's any different from Daniel Cross?” another asked Scarlett.“You don't have to answer that," I whispered with a smile on my face as I could see how uncomfortable they were try
