Thank you for reading.❤️
DAMIAN The little kitten will be the bane of my existence. I know I overreacted that day. I never should have called her a fucking slut, I don’t remotely think she is one. I mean I know I popped her cherry that night, if the blood stain on the sheets when I woke up to her gone the next morning wasn’t proof enough, the way she begged me to take it and take her the night before definitely is. Trevor may be an asshole like his excuse of a father but he’s still my fucking nephew and I just happened to have slept with his ex, it made me feel some type of way but when I saw the way he treated her at the masion the other day, that feeling fucking dissipated. I kind of want to gloat about it and break his little fucking heart. The worst part is I still remember every damn thing that happened that night between me and her. How fucking delicious she tasted, the way her eyes roll into the back of her head when she’s about to nut, her soft and succulent thighs, her ass was so fucking soft, I
DAMIAN I dive straight into work when I get back to the office from the restaurant, immersing myself completely in it for hours, trying to distract myself but the unease refused to leave my chest and Scarlett refused to let my mind be. I had just wrapped up my last meeting of the day when I got a call from Gerard, a reminder that my old man wanted me to join him for dinner. I swear if he mentions getting married and settling down one more time to me at this dinner, I am going to flip. Apparently our blockhead shareholders think that as the CEO of a multibillion dollar conglomerate, I should be married with a wife and kids to give the public the perception that I am responsible. They didn’t think so when my elder brother mismanaged the company’s funds and almost dragged them into debt but for my timely intervention. They were literally begging me to come and handle things and now, after my team and I have set everything on a positive trajectory, they suddenly remember that I’m not m
SCARLETT The D-day is finally here and I cannot be more nervous. I can say my degree more or less depends on Uncle Frazier showing up today. Although he promised, he hasn’t been taking my calls since yesterday and he won’t reply to my texts either. I just want to think he’s too busy to reply or call back but will definitely show up. The program started over an hour ago and everyone has already submitted the names of their invited guests, including me. The Dean just announced that even though all the invited guests will be acknowledged, only six of them will be keynote speakers, six that they will select themselves. I just hope that having one of the biggest law firms in the city can get Uncle Fraizer in. “Any luck?” Delia steps up beside me and asks. I shake my head, sinking into the chair beside me, outside the hall, when my phone beeps and the message from Uncle Frazier makes my heart sink in despair. [ Something came up last minute, can’t make it.] I stare blankly at the tex
SCARLETT Damian frowns at me, dipping his hands into his pocket which only makes his arm muscle stretch, leaving me wondering how it would feel to be in those strong arms again, how much his soft plump lips left hickeys on me the next morning, how he- “Do you have something to say?” Damian says in a stoic tone but he has that arrogant smirk on his face. “Maybe,” I reply, rolling my eyes at him. He scoffs and makes a face. “What do you want? I was perfectly okay with pretending we’re strangers.” “Let’s start with an apology, we can move on from there,” I reply, keeping my face passive. He scoffs before his expression turns serious. “You are a lot of things but a slut is not one of them,” he replies, curling his hands around my waist which only makes my heart pound ten times faster as he walks us to a seat in the middle aisle. “That’s not a proper apology,” I say, scowling at him when we sit down. “Don’t push it,” he says, switching to his cold tone. Jerk. He’s lucky I have to
SCARLETT “No! You can’t leave sir,” Chloe blocks Uncle Austin’s path. He looks down at her and he hesitates but when he turns back and looks at Damian, it’s like Damian is a fire that is burning him and he can’t stand. “I’m sorry young lady but I cannot stay,” he says curtly, pushing Chloe aside as every eye in the hall becomes fixed on the drama happening in front. Even the moderator seems too scared to quell the distraction, just standing with his mic to his side and worry in his eyes. Everyone knows the Coles practically rule the city and when such a family feuds, you want to stay away, hence you become the proverbial grass when two elephants are fighting. Chloe stands her ground. Her eyes fleeting through the crowd, realising how embarrassing and how bad this must be for her that the guest she invited to stage literally just a minute ago is storming off but she doesn’t seem to care. For a moment I actually feel bad for her but the thing is I actually need these bonus points m
SCARLETT Everyone seems to be treating me a little bit better since the day I had the youngest billionaire in the state as a guest on our school talk show. People now look at me differently, almost like they used to in the past, they looked at me with more respect and some in awe. I won’t lie, it brought back the feeling of being someone important but I know better than to be carried away by it. It didn’t help that the event photographer caught me and Damian in extra close proximity that day, with my finger on his chest and our eyes lost in one another’s. A silly student blog even released an article, speculating about my relationship with Damian. The title alone is hilarious. ‘QUEEN OF VBU WITH THE KING OF THE CITY?: THE SECRET DATING LIFE OF VALLEYVIEW MOST ELITE.’ And if there’s one person who wouldn’t rest until I gave her all the details of what went down between me and Damian, it’s my new best friend. Yes, BEST FRIEND. Not only is Delia the reason why I currently have a
SCARLETT The faint sound of my something ringing slowly pulls me away from the comfortable hands of sleep. I yawn, then turn my back to where the sound is coming from when realisation hits me and my eyes pop. I quickly grab my phone and it’s a call from Delia. Before I take the call, I already know why she is calling. I am terribly late for school. “Where are you? Professor August is in class and he’s asking of you. He looks pissed,” Delia’s words make me jump out of bed instantly. I only just started to get into his good graces and I’d rather his smile and unnecessary compliments than his scowl and victimisation. This is why I hate working night shifts. I only wanted to catch a few hours of sleep before school in the morning but now I have overslept and my alarm didn’t even wake me up. “Careful,” Lexi says as I bolt out of the door, bumping into her. From now on, I’m using her as my human alarm. “Sorry! I’m late,” I reply, running off to get a cab. It’s a good thing I sh
I’m on my way to the restaurant Professor August asked me to join him, wearing a black denim trouser with a black long sleeve shirt and a pair of white sneakers, a white band wrapped around my hair and a tiny pearl bracelet on my wrist, the same build as my earrings. I cannot lie, my stomach feels empty and full at the same time from the nervousness of knowing what he wants, I hope this isn’t about Damian again. The restaurant he picked wasn’t in the highbrow areas of the city but it wasn’t exactly bad at all. The Fab Restaurant was one of those restaurants that catered to the needs of everyone, the rich, the poor and those in between. There was something in their menu that every pay grade could afford, which made it very popular. I’ve been here once before with dad when it newly opened but it wasn’t planned or anything, we just got hungry on the road and The Fab was the closest restaurant. I walk into the cozy restaurant late in the afternoon and the soft lighting and comfortable
