Scarlett And Ashton Novels & Stories

Scarlett came back prepared and strategic. Like she’d spent years building herself into someone untouchable before stepping back into my world. "Well," I murmured softly, leaning back in my chair, "that explains the confidence." My assistant shifted slightly. "There’s more." Of course there was. "There’s a man," he continued carefully. "Ethan Cole. He’s been working closely with her for the past five years." Something unpleasant twisted sharply in my chest before I could stop it. I ignored it immediately. "Business partner?" I asked coldly.

She stared, and I stared too, unable to say anything. Luckily, Romeo had been the one to break the silence, introducing her to me as his six-year-old daughter, Scarlet. Her age had been enough to cause me to double-take. She was ten years younger than me, and the moment he said those words, shame and disgust filled every part of me. She was just a child and should never be my object of affection, or cause me such distress. I shouldn't feel... whatever it was I was feeling for her.

I was halfway down the hallway when I heard it, the unmistakable voice of Skyler declaring, "Brooklyn baby, I finally found you." There he was, lifting Brooklyn's chin with a sense of entitlement. "For the party tonight, I want you to dress sexy." It took him a moment to notice me. "Scarlett? I didn't realize you were there." His hand dropped, and he proceeded to straighten his bangs, a vain attempt at nonchalance.

she said. Scarlett looked around the house and noticed a lot of clutter and broken pieces. She sighed and returned her gaze to Ashley. “I’ll look after him.” Dominic’s mother nodded and followed Scarlett inside. “S-son…” Dominic shook his mother, causing Scarlett’s fists to clench. “I told you I didn’t need you!” Scarlett took a deep breath as Ashley looked at her. “Scarlett is here,” said Ashley. Dominic came to a halt and clenched his fists.

“Hello, I’m Scarlett, which you all know because you’ve been talking about me for the last week!” Laughter filled the room. “Um, so I’m here to finally make a decision about my future. Well...I have two really great options. And though Wrenworks and Windsor Ascension are amazing companies, that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about two men that are sweet, caring, funny, and make me feel like I can fly. I love them both very much and I know they love me. But I can’t have them both...believe me I tried.”

he said, but let me give you a proper introduction " Meet Scarlet Harrison, my date for tonight and Scarlet meet Asher with his wife, they are the latest couple in town," he said I rolled my eyes while he introduced her, Scarlet stretched forth her hands to give me a shake. " Nice meeting you Mr. Asher and your wife looks pretty," she said as she pretended not to know me. " Not as pretty as you" I shook her hand and gave her a hugged then she muttered to me " Please behave yourself," she said as she let go of me and laughed,

He shook Grayson and Lee’s hands before leaving. “So,” Grayson started. “Where’s the mistletoe?” -- Things could be a lot worse right now. Everyone was forcing polite conversation, but at least it’s polite. “Remind me, Scarlett, Robbie is a friend of yours from school?” Belinda asked. “Not technically,” I stated. “I used to babysit little Shooting Scar,” Robbie answered. “Now I’m in a very intense relationship with the beautiful Bianca.” “But you two did go to high school together?” Ninette asked.

Karina’s heart speeds up, her mind racing back to the Reed incident, but she doesn’t understand; Colette didn’t sound upset when she spoke to Scarlett on the phone and even when they spoke, it sounded as though she had put the whole thing behind as long as Scarlett did what she asked. Questions flood her mind and she continues asking Scarlett what happened, now walking her over to the sofa. Scarlett says they were fighting, and she asks who's they, handing her some water. “Mr. and Mrs. Sterling were saying horrible things, Mom,” she says and Karina asks if any of those horrible things were about Scarlett, to which she says no.

Aaron asked in curiosity. Scarlett looked him in the eyes and said, “I don't want to end up with Liam. I don't care whether he is Jordan's father or not. We don't have a future together.” Aaron couldn't help it, he burst into loud laughter that echoed in the confines of the car, causing Scarlett to watch him with a confused expression. “What's funny father?” She could not get why he was laughing, she did not say anything that sounded funny. When he got his laughter under control, Aaron told her, “I'm sure you will change your mind soon” the mating bond was no joke.

"What about it?" "You’re partners," Ashton said, a spark of something resembling strategy in his eyes. "We were assigned together. Everyone knows Loveth hates that. Maybe… maybe she thinks you’re trying to use it to get close to me? To steal me away with your…" He paused, his gaze sweeping over me with a dismissiveness that stung, "...your brainy omega charms?" The sarcasm was heavy.
