Chapter 03
Scarlett's POVThe following morningI walked over to the desk next to Lilian, Alexander's secretary, and said, "Morning," with a slight smile."Morning.." She paused, her eyebrows lifted. I answered, smiling a little, "Scarlett."I will be helping her because I am the assistant secretary. This is exactly the position I applied for, but now that I have it, I feel anxious. This could be because I will occasionally need to be with Alexander, but it also could not be. I may assign chores like organizing documents and talking about that.Lilian nodded and smiled as she threw lots of documents in front of me.She instructed, "Arrange them alphabetically by the names on the files," and I gave the command.I had anticipated starting my job right away, and now here I am.Through the wired table phone Lilian and I shared, I saw her take a call before she left the office, and I carried on with my work.She entered the room with a blank expression a little while later."Um.She shouted out, "Scarr," with a confused expression, and I turned to face her."Those files over there.." She indicated a group of what appeared to be over a thousand documents.I questioned, "Yeah?"I was genuinely astonished when she said, "Boss wants you to arrange them too before the end of today," but I kept a straight face.I mumbled "Oh, okay" while cracking a small smile. I kept looking at those files and did not take a breath.Is this how he intends to make me pay? All of these prior to today?"I'm sorry, but the boss gave the order. He's never been that way; I don't understand why now"Lillian attempted to elucidate."It's alright, I'll finish them as he instructed." She nodded as I interrupted her in mid-sentence with a small smile.The table phone rang, and Lillian grabbed it up as soon as I was done speaking. A few seconds after speaking over the phone, She uttered, "For you.""Me?" Unconsciously, I said as I took the phone from her.I made an effort not to stutter as I said, "HHi."I heard his icy voice saying, "See you in my office now.""Yyess s.." He hung up before I could complete my sentence.I put the phone down and stood up, then turned to Lillian. "Ale. I said, "I mean, Boss wants to see me," and she nodded."You're okay, right?" I smiled as I nodded in response to her question.I replied with a light brow, "I'm here, sir."Has Lilian sent my message? Without raising his head from the magazine he was reading, he questioned."She did, sir," He certainly raised his head when I casually reacted by saying that I almost regretted it."You sound enthusiastic about receiving a ton of work, don't you think?" With an almost impenetrable brow, he inquired.I said with a bow, "I'm sorry sir.""You are to complete your work today and report to me when finished, as said earlier", he said.What if you had already left by then? I nearly asked, but I refrained.I bowed and said "Yes Sir" before leaving his office.Let's get to work, and let's pray I don't get hurt.*After Seven Hours*Without taking a single break, I had worked for seven hours straight, and I was done. I ignored Lillian's persistent nagging to take a break.I took a quick look at the meal she had brought to me earlier; it was cold by the time I saw it.Even though I'm exhausted, it's nothing compared to what I've done in the past.Since I was born, I have worked incredibly hard and done abhorrent work, so it would be more accurate to state that I have done a variety of occupations throughout the previous few years.I can therefore state that this is nothing in comparison to what I have already done, and both he and I are aware that this is just the top of the iceberg. His expressions are blank, but I can see that he intends to break me. I have no trouble reading them.I began to question how long he has been aware that I am in this city as a result of this. Was he with me the entire way? He refused to.I was aware that his father owned a business in Miami, but I never anticipated him to take over the firm so quickly. Is his father still alive? He certainly can't be.Should I just bag it up and take it home to reheat or should I go report to him and make do with this lunch? I should definitely do that. I trust Tonia that my twins have eaten by this point, but I don't suppose I have anything to feed them tonight, so this will have to do.I glanced at the time and saw that it was 4:30; nothing to worry about.Lillian had been called in earlier, so I assumed that she was with Alexander when I stood up from my seat; but, she wasn't there right now.I then proceeded to my way to his workplace. Lillian invited me inside after I gave her door a polite rap.I entered with a small bow. I said, "I'm done, sir," and Lillian gave me a look that said, "Well done," as if she were impressed and proud of me. She must have felt bad for me.Only scowling, Alexander pretended not to be astonished. He muttered, barely audible between breaths, "I expected such, you're used to working like that since you were once a maid," loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. Due to his strong voice, it did echo.I laughed. He'd go to this extent. "Yeah," I replied, unconcerned. I anticipated this all along.He probably didn't anticipate my reply, but he knew it was something I could say. I'm not ashamed, and I never have been the sort to be embarrassed by the circumstances that life has put me in.When he was silent, I said, "I would like to leave at this time.""No, go ahead and work on those files right there." I grinned drowsily as he pointed to a stack of documents.This is three times like the one I just finished. I almost started crying, but I restrained myself. Of course, I'm only doing this for my children.I muttered "Yes sir," almost audible as I moved approached the folders. I doubt my ability to lift this."I'll help you."Alexander's firm voice halted Lillian when she tried to move."Stay!" He ordered."Lift each one by yourself. As a maid, didn't you deal with similar situations?" With almost imperceptible smirk, he said.Once again, he referred to me as a maid.When he made that vow, did he mean it? Has he since forgotten?Chapter 04Scarlett's viewpointAfter attempting to lift the files on my own for a full ten minutes. When I finally had a basic notion, I divided them and started moving them from his office to mine, then back again, until I was finished.Sadly, I sighed as I looked at the files that had taken up the entire desk and some of the ones that were still on the floor.I whispered my little comfort word, "I'll get through this.I had worked on those files for a solid seven hours, so how long will it take me to complete those files three times over?I should get started right now.**Well, as you probably already guessed, I had to wait until dusk to finish them. I was still in the office at ten o'clock.Lillian bid me good night and then went. I was the only person left, as everyone else had gone home.Tonia had repeatedly beeped me while I was pleading with her, complaining that she couldn't care for the twins on her alone.I should complete them before I go, according to Alexander. Yes, I re
Chapter 05Scarlett's viewpointAnother day has passed. I had to make a promise to my twins that I wouldn't be gone for too long—hopefully, I won't—after they whined about how much they missed me.I started working again at 7 a.m. so I could complete the tasks I started yesterday.Lillian and Alexander were among the few workers who appeared to have arrived.When I arrived at his office to thank him for ordering me to leave last night's job unfinished, he wasn't there.Let's get started, I heaved as I sat down and got right to work.** After two hours **"Hey, you already arrived?" Surprisingly, Lillian said as she entered."Yes, I arrived early to finish up what I couldn't finish yesterday." I replied with a good morning."Morning," she said before remaining silent while deciding whether or not to speak what she had in mind."Y.. you want to say something?" When I noticed she had her eyes on me, I questioned while looking up at her."About yesterday, I guess. She continued, "I'm reall
Chapter 06Scarlett's viewpointI'm very sorry; I didn't mean to waltz in. Oh my gosh. I rushed over right away, unable to do anything but move my lips and fixate on his still obscenely large underwear."Leave now!" I was jolted out of my reverie by his icy voice, which sent chills down my spine.I quickly replied, "Y.. yeah, yes sir," and then I briskly left.Oh my God I took a deep breath out. I'm hoping I keep my job. I couldn't help the wicked little notion that sprang to mind as I mentally replayed the scene. His. No, this is not something I should be thinking about.Of course I shouldn't.I hurried back to my office, but as soon as I entered, Lillian raised her head and gave me a suspicious look, which I ignored and went to find my seat.I took a big breath, reminded myself that I had stuff to do, and started working right away.*After Three Hours*I had completed all of the work he had assigned me as punishment. I was with each of them. Never before have I experienced such excit
Chapter 07Scarlett's viewpoint"Are you going to suck it voluntarily or I'm going to choke you so hard the crowd will hear you scream!" With a chilly glare, he said.He perceived my lack of response as a rejection and yanked the conversation out of my mouth. I sobbed uncontrollably, spit dripping from my mouth as I strained to breathe."Leave now!" He swiftly and rudely commanded me to get up and leave his office, and I did so while cleaning my lips.Without stopping, I hurried into the office, and thankfully Lillian wasn't there.More tears began to flow down my cheeks as I hurried to the restroom and stood in front of the mirror, staring at the mess I had made of myself.I hurried to the basin and grabbed some water for washing my face.Before leaving the restroom, I properly styled my hair and gave my mouth another rinse. When I walked outside, Lillian was waiting for me.Hey, are you all right? She inquired out of worry, and I nodded.Yes, I'm all right.The question "You sure?" I
Chapter 08Scarlett's POVHis eyes were fixated on my body as I slowly unzipped my dress while holding my hand to my back.When he put my hands down and stepped closer to me, my breath caught in my throat, so I set aside my dress and brought the one he gave me to put on.I was lost staring at this look of his, forgetting I was half-naked in his presence as his face softened as he gazed intently into my eyes and his palm trailed over my face delicately and lovingly as he always did.I forced a long breath into nothing as my breath grew stern as he moved his hands down to my neck and to the opened upper portion of my b00bs.Why, oh why, is my body responding to his touch so delicately? Is it because I still adore him so much and haven't stopped loving him? But surely he detests me? But I can see that he is lustful by the look he is giving me right now.He kept circling his hand around my chest and down my stomach until he reached my waistline, at which point I stopped breathing. He peere
Chapter 09Scarlett's POv"I didn't call you?" you ask. He said while furrowing his brow."You didn't, you know that. I came in to talk to you about something, but I will come back, I added, and I left the office before he could respond.Right, let's all take a deep breath. Until I reached the office and made my way to the restroom, I said repeatedly while trying to calm down.Okay, I won't think about it, I don't want to think about it. But.. I noticed a tear dripping from my eye when I looked up in the mirror.Is she his girlfriend, is she? Has he ever been with a girl? Did he leave me behind? He didn't, did he not? He couldn't possibly move on that quickly because he loved me so much, right? Arrggh!As more tears streamed from my eyes, I ruffled my hair and screamed silently to myself.Okay, I suppose he should have moved on; I anticipated this. It's been four years, and I'm to blame. First, I hurt his heart. I was simply a menial maid, but he loved me. We dated, and then I abruptly
Chapter 10Scarlett's viewpointWith his other hand, he squeezed my right breast, and I instantly covered my mouth and moaned loudly.He replied with another kiss and stated, "It's fine, it's soundproof," to which I consented.With passion blazing in his eyes, he broke off the kiss. "You are seriously all I think about. He was exhaling heavily as he said, "Even after all these years.I had a lot of questions at that time, but pleasure came first. I'm aware that I might be crazy at the moment, but I really wanted him. In spite of the years, I never ceased loving and missing him. I never stopped thinking back on those evenings of intense pleasure he provided me while stroking myself.Of course, I'm not your normal decent girl. He created me in that way. I gave him my first, and he received it so graciously that I never forgot about it.And right now, I want him so much that I don't care if he immediately resumes his hatred of me.I took a deep breath in as he removed my undershirt, leavi
Chapter 11 Scarlett's viewpoint "So you're upset with yourself because you almost let him fully prostrate you?" When Tonia enquired, I nodded. "And?" I furrowed my brows at her additional comments. What does "and" mean? I asked, "Is that the reason you're angry with yourself?" I laughed when she asked. "Isn't that reason enough to resent me? I almost had sex with him despite the fact that I knew he probably detested me. After all, I broke up with him silently after three years of dating, and he has no knowledge that I have his children". I whispered the last bit to her, but she merely arched her brows and made the 'And?' face. "Girl, he told me that he probably hated me for that, and yet this silly body of mine still yearned for his touch. I melted under his steely look as he told me he hated me and only wanted my body. OK, I'm crazy. He explicitly stated that I have no chance with him now, that he only wants my body, and that he wants nothing to do with me." "And?" Tonia enqui
