CHAPTER 61Aldric I've not seen Scarlett over the past 5 years ever since I left Windhoek. When I used to work for the Cross Empire, I just knew there was more to Scarlett's talent, but a man like Daniel wasn't someone who could bring out the best in her.He would only dance at the toes of his mother and wealth while she had to work overtime just to make sure everything was running smoothly.Every time I tried to make her see things for what they were, she would just cover up for him, and that hurt not because she was being too blind to things, but because she was blind to how deep I was falling for her.People often say that when you love someone, you should be willing to let them be free to have whomever they love, even if it means that the person wouldn't be you. So I did that for her. I let her be free.I fell for her first, but Daniel professed his feelings before me to her, and they became a couple. I had to swallow that truth and just keep things neutral though it would get t

CHAPTER 63 Scarlett 4 YEARS LATER “Ma'am, Mr. Cross is here to see you," Jenny said, and I gave her the same old disgusted look. That man was dead to me.It's been four years of working hard enough to grow my Empire and now it's the biggest in the entire country. I've several studios all over the country and have just gotten myself Three Mansions.I live in my favorite one and visit the others occasionally.“Mommy did you see my doll anywhere?" Gina asked, running into the living room."No, sweetie, I haven't. Did you check upstairs?” I responded."It's not there. I can't find my doll mommy,” she ran into my arms about to cry.Aren't children just so dramatic? I would have been with mine, too, if it hadn't decided to leave me years ago. Gina has been a big part of my life ever since Jenny gave birth.Her father decided to leave Jenny with all the responsibility, and I just couldn't let her go through that, so I asked her to move into my new mansion with me.There was enough room

CHAPTER 65Daniel Life has taken a turn for the worse over the past four years. Even though I managed to get Scarlett's number, she hasn't picked up my calls or even responded to any of my messages. I've tried to go on her socials with different accounts, and none of that worked.Every day feels like hell. I've been traveling up and down, hoping to speak to her, but she refuses to see me. I can't even hold a candle to her. She is always surrounded by security and those bastards really don't play about her.I don't even think they know who I am. Scarlett didn't even bother looking at me. I know she heard me as I called her name. Did money just make her ruthless?I made my way to my hotel, and just as I was about to enter my room, someone cleared their throat. I turned to see who it was when this strange-looking lady smiled at me after saying my name.“Daniel Cross, right?" she extended her hand, but I just looked at her.“Yes and who are you?" I asked."Hmmm I'm a friend,” she said

CHAPTER 67Scarlett “I'm gonna need you to focus, he's married," I told Zoe who was struggling to keep her eyes off Miguel. “I'm going to faint and make sure he takes me upstairs Scarlett look at that body uh girl just—" “Aren't you supposed to be getting yourself together?" I asked since I could tell she was just trying to distract herself and pretend to be having fun.“You don't have to do this OK. I'm here for you Zoe, just let it out. Cry if you have to," I said, rubbing her back.“It's hard, I thought I got this, but I'm still in shock. I can't believe Richard did this to me. I was such a fool," she shook her head.“No, baby, you weren't any fool. He is going to regret doing this to you. Just hang in there," I said, going to pick up the call from Richard. I didn't want to tell her since it would just upset her more.“Scarlett, have you heard from Zoe?" he asked from the other end.“No, what happened?" I responded.“I think I did something bad and am scared she hasn't been hom

CHAPTER 69Scarlett I knew Jenny was hiding something. There's no way she just went pale like that. “What's wrong with the network here? I'm struggling to log in to my social network," Zoe asked as we made our way to the living room.“Uhmm, there was a wire leaking, but it's now being fixed," Jenny responded.“Oh, Miguel must have forgotten to tell me," I commented, since he usually informed everyone.“I've a document to sign. How long would that take?" Zoe asked.“I'll let you know ma'am." Jenny made her way to her bedroom while I went to mine with Zoe. “This bed sure smells like wealthy Scarlett. Are you sure it doesn't have money between the mattresses?” "No. Come on, why would I want to keep money at home?”“Emergency reasons." "I haven't had any so far. Anyways, how's work?” I asked since she hasn't mentioned a thing."Stressful. I'm dealing with a high-profile client, and she sometimes forgets that her money can't make everything happen at once,” Zoe responded."Yeah, I te
