After Scarlett’s father is framed and thrown in jail, making her family go bankrupt, Scarlett takes it upon herself to clear his name but things take a nasty turn when one night, she is drugged and she finds herself the next morning in the bed of a cold stranger, Damian. Trying to make sense of everything, she discovers a shocking truth, Damian is not just any rich cold stranger, he is the Uncle to her jerk of an ex boyfriend who left her at her lowest point.
View MoreSCARLETTRight now, I’m on my way to represent Dad at the Valleyview Annual Founders meeting. We were all shocked that we got invited because we weren’t expecting it, considering recent events.Mom declined to go, saying it was a waste of time but I know the real reason is because she’s no longer the queen of her group, just the wife of a man who was once a king.I plan to arrive at the meeting a little early on purpose so I can take a seat in the back. Trevor’s family is hosting and that means he could be here, I would rather not deal with him today.He keeps saying he wants to talk and make it up to me, calling me with different numbers that I am tired of blocking but every time I get on social media, a painful reminder of his deceit and betrayal slaps me in the face with how much Ashley and her cronies flaunt her relationship with Trevor.I already deleted everything about him from my social media and burnt every physical reminder of him around me, from pictures to clothes hi and e
SCARLETTI’m sitting at the visitor’s area, watching other families visiting their loved ones in prison while I wait for Dad to arrive.I still can’t believe I am no longer a virgin. I know it’s normal for people my age to have sex and it’s not really a big deal but after waiting three years in my last relationship only to lose it to a cold yet hot and handsome stranger like Damian in a flash, it just feels….I don’t even know the word for it.I mean this wasn’t the plan, the plan was to give it to someone I absolutely love and adore, who feels the same way about me. I wonder if Damian can fall in love with a girl like me though.I mean he’s like the undisputed king of the city and I’m just Scarlett Madden whose father is in prison. What am I even thinking? I can’t fall in love with someone like Damian, he’s just too cold and not even sweet or charming. I wonder what I took that night to make me come onto him that strongly.“Earth to Scarlett,” I hear dad’s voice before I sense his hand
DAMIANMy angry gaze falls on the asshole and he adjusts himself quickly.“This is not what it looks like, she-”My clenched fists connect hard with his cheek before he can finish the trash he has to say and his teeth flies out with his blood smearing my shirt but I don’t fucking care.How dare he lay his filthy hands on her?My eyes go blind with rage and every pumping of my heart seems to send anger and not blood through my veins. The fucker recoils and makes the worse decision of trying to fight me.I evade his weak punch and punch him hard in his stomach. He groans in pain, clutching his stomach but that doesn’t make me stop. I glance at the little kitten slumped to the ground, barely conscious. The fear in her eyes fuels my anger even more and my entire body vibrates in rage.I grab the fucker by his head and smash it against the vanity mirror causing more blood to spill everywhere and the shards go flying.“What did you do to her?!” I yell.“I-”“Answer me!” I smash his head agai
DAMIANI'm not a big fan of the night life, I'd rather spend my nights in solitude, mostly in the comfort of my home but when money calls, you answer.Ever since I got back into town, Wayne has been on about investing in his nightclub. The Rudolphs and my family have been in business for decades but Wayne and I are the new generation.Rather than pine for the wealth of the older generation, we decided to carve our own path to wealth, I found my path in Business and Investments, he found his in catering to the desires of people and getting paid for it.I was surprised when Scarlett introduced herself as Liana the other day in my office. I know Wayne has two kid sisters, Liana and Elsa but they were toddlers when I last saw them.If we hadn't met before then, I would have believed her. Scarlett…….the little kitten is an interesting one.“So what do you think man, are we doing this?” Wayne asks, bringing my attention back to him and Ethan.“What do you think?” I ask Ethan, picking up my
TREVORI stare at the pills Kenyon had given to me, contemplating deeply whether to do it or not. Scarlett is a lightweight on a normal day, giving her this aphrodisiac would definitely get her freaky and in the mood but I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do, she already hates me as it seems and she would never forgive me if she finds out what I did.“I don’t know if it’s the right thing man,” I reply, dropping the pills on the table and picking up my glass. Kenyon chuckles. “Stop being all sentimental and shit. Whether you like it or not, someone’s gonna pop her cherry, who knows? Could even be me,” He says with a taunting voice and I glare at him.I raise my head and glance at Scarlett who’s a couple of tables away. I can’t tell what exactly is going on but she appears to be in a heated conversation with that old man and he seems to be giving her a tough time.A surge of anger threatens to burst through my chest when I see him put his filthy hands on her thighs but she quickly
TREVOR“Slow down man, you’re gonna get wasted before the real fun even begins. I got some hot brazilian models on their way here,” Kenyon says, holding back the bottle of vodka as I’m about to pour my ninth or tenth glass, I’m not sure.I yank the bottle from his grip, ignoring the glass and chugging directly from the bottle. Wasted is exactly what I need to get. It’s the only reason I came to this damn club.No amount of calls, text, flowers and gifts I send to Scarly has been enough to get her to even soften up a bit. It’s like the harder I try, the harder she resents me.The only time she doesn’t fleet into my mind is when I’m high or drunk as fuck and even that is a lie, she’s still what I’m thinking about right now.I don’t understand why I am still so stuck up on her. I just can’t get her out of my thoughts. I find myself spending long hours watching our videos and pictures together, craving just a tiny moment in her presence but it’s like I don’t even exist to her anymore.Doe
SCARLETT “I believe the word you're looking for is thank you,” Damian says in a curt tone, spinning me slowly back to my feet and my arms fly around his neck to support myself.He chuckles lighty, his arms curling around my waist as he steadies me and I'm very aware of how soothing his soft and warm fingers feel against my cold and bare skin.“For someone yelling at me to let her go, you seem quite comfortable in my arms,” He says in a whispery voice, smirking at me.I pull away awkwardly, straightening my dress and keeping my eyes on my feet. There's something about this man that unsettles me.I don't know if it's because of his incredible good looks or the fact that his eyes suck me in in a way that keeps me transfixed on them.“Let me help you with that,” He says and without permission, he begins to adjust the string behind my shoulders where my hands can't reach.I freeze, not knowing how to react. Mr Icy glares himself is helping me adjust my dress? I know he is kind beneath his
SCARLETTI am not giving up, not until I am sure I have done everything humanly possible to try and save my papa bear. We went to visit him yesterday and the only thing my shameless mother could ask from him was if he had an account somewhere the creditors had no idea of.Apparently, the reason she returned is because she is broke, having exhausted the last penny of Dad’s foreign accounts. And since the source of income has frozen up, she has no money to support her expensive lifestyle in Paris.Mom is the last thing I have to bother about right now. I am currently headed to club Rehab to see Uncle Ethan, one of dad’s accounting consultants. Going through a list of dad’s business associates and checking his personal emails for any sort of useful information that could help me get a better understanding of the situation, I found he exchanged a lot of emails with Uncle Ethan and most of them had to do with money.I had been trying for days to book an appointment with him at his office
TREVOR“I got this awesome business idea guys. I think it’s going to work out this time,” I say to my little group of friends in the school cafeteria. Kenyon, Bradley and Asher. The only person missing from here is Scarlett. I miss her. I just wish there was an easy way to fix things but she’s just too damn stubborn. She’s even blocked me everywhere.I was hoping she’d call to ask if I would help her dad but she didn’t. I even heard she went to our company to try to get help. She’s so fucking stubborn.“Is it another crypto start up?” Bradley asks mockingly. “Wasn’t 500 million wasted in a year over that one?”“Or the crowdfunding idea,” Kenyon chuckles. “Let this whole business thing go, Man. We’re trust fund kids who don’t have to work. Give it a rest.”“I know what Scarly would say if she was here,” Asher adds. “Leave my baby alone, failures are a part of success in life. He’s a great businessman, he’s just in his budding stage.”“Yeah, she really gases him up,” Kenyon replies.Th
