[ Scarlett ]“Where are we going exactly? This house gives me creep all over the body. I mean you have a freaking system of tunnel here, at this manor.” I ask and also express my discomfort in the manor which looks eerie in the gloomy weather but it’s my safe place.“I am sorry if you have to stay here against your wish but it’s matter of a few days only. We are here to meet William. I couldn’t take the risk of taking you out of here, so I fetched a plan and brought William here, in the basement cellar. We can talk here without any interruption.” He explains me.The tunnel opens in a huge hall. This new and undiscovered side of the manor amuses me. It’s occupied with every facilities. I spot William sitting on the sofa and drinking. Our footsteps drive his attention from the flat TV screen to us.“Scarlett, you’re here with him?” He asks me in shock but he doesn’t look worried or angry.Blaze circles his arm around my waist and pulls me closer.“Yes, I am with my husband and safe.” I
[ Blaze ]“Are you sure, it will help us to put Mathew behind the bars for all the crimes he has committed over the years?” Scarlett asks me..“Yes, Angel, William is one of the most cunning and intelligent man. He knows the law for the better and for the worse. The proofs he handed us, they’re enough to bring that motherfucker off his throne.” I assure her but inwardly I am also paranoid. I have to take every step cautiously at this point.“I just hope this time our prayers will be heard and we can bury the devil in the deepest hell.” She leans on my chest.“They will, my love.” I kiss her crown and we settle in the car to reach Ramirez’s office. I have to accomplish two tasks today. One of them is to expose Mathew’s real face to the world.“Promise me, Scarlett that you’ll be at a safe distance from him and won’t lose your patience even though he’d try to provoke you and pretend himself as the guilty. Please, hold your anger and resentment because at the end of all, the victory will
[ Scarlett ]“Umm...let me sleep, honey.” I moan in sleep as my husband tickles my neck which his two days old stubbles.“It’s Sunday, Angel. You have to get up as it’s nearly afternoon.” He says and my eyes jolt open.“Are you serious?” I gasp looking at his smiling face.He strokes my face with his knuckle and drop a kiss on my forehead,”Yes, my love. I didn’t disturb your sleep because you hardly get time for yourself but our princess wants us to spend the day with her. We can’t make her angry.” He says.I sit straight and rub my sleepy eyes. He climbs out of the bed in his naked glory causing me to blush. It’s been five years of our marriage but he can still make me hot just like the first time. He smirks seeing his effect on me.“We can shower together to save both time and water.” He offers but I know his intentions very well.“Thanks for your generous offer, Mr. Hamilton but I’d shower alone because we’ll neither save time nor water.” I reply slipping out of the quilt, I wore h
[ Scarlett ] I want to live here forever, at my current boyfriend’s house because the place I call my house is a prison for me or I should say it was as I am getting married in next three hours with a man of my father’s choice not mine. I practically flee from my own wedding to save my most valuable tressure, my freedom from been confiscated by my Dad. “Scar, baby get up, your father’s driver is here to pick you.” Ethan, my boyfriend shakes my shoulder to wake me up from the couch where I have been laying for hours, drunk and wasted. “Tell him to get lost. I am not marrying that old douche. If Mathew Remirez wants me to lick his feet like I am his pet then he should know that I am his daughter not a fucking business deal.” I shout, letting out my frustration on poor Ethan. “Baby, we both know that this isn’t a serious relationship and no one can defy a powerful man like your father. Please, go back to your house with your driver. I do not want to be in any trouble. Besides, we can
[ Scarlett ] I stare at the thin band on my finger and then at the man standing beside me with the same expression. Is he even a human or a machine? He hasn’t spoken to me accept the two or three sentences. Now I am dreading my new but temporary life. Yes, I’d divorce him as soon as I turn twenty-five. These six months will be a living hell for both of us. “Blaze, take care of my precious daughter. She is now your responsibility. I wish you a happy married life.” My devil of a father says his departing words to his new son-in-law as he prepares to leave with Carla whose grin isn’t leaving her face. I just want to smash her face. “Do you want us to give you two a ride back to your home?” Carla emphasizes or I say mocks me. “No, Ma’am, we’re fine.” Blaze turns down her offer politely. “Thanks, Carla but I have my own car which my new husband is going to drive.” I give her a smug look. “Sorry, Scarlett but you can’t take the car which belongs to the Remirez property. Like I said bef
[ Blaze ]The second step of my plan succeeded today. I made a permanent place in my enemy’s life. Although I have to marry the spoiled princess of Mathew, I am ready to tolerate her useless tantrums if it means destroying my enemy gradually. He snatched everything from my family, our business, our properties, our home and most importantly our happiness.For last fifteen years, I have waiting for the day when I’d have an upper hand on him but the smart leech always managed to save his ass. We had to suffer a lot, we lived on streets for first few days on the streets, my father somehow found a house, my current home where I disguise myself as a poor driver. He worked in stores, my mother who lived the life of a queen once, she had to work as a maid.We had no money when she got sick and died. I studied on scholarship while working as a cleaner in a restaurant when I was only eighteen to earn our bread and butter as my dad’s income wasn’t enough. One day he also passed away due to heart
[ Scarlett ]The old lady Windy was an over talkative woman. She literally told me the history and geography this shit hole that she calls a heaven for permanent dwellers. They consider themselves a big family but I find it annoying. I mean people need privacy and they don’t know how to respect it for someone who doesn’t like to be involved unnecessarily like me.Windy also told me that I and Blaze should come to her house for breakfast where she has invited others also to introduce me to their society. Once she left, I yawned and glanced at the clock. It was around ten and Blaze was nowhere not that I cared about my father’s loyal dog aka Blaze Hamilton. I rise from the washed sofa and put my plates in the kitchen sink. If he thinks that I’d play a housewife for him then he’s living in a dream. He brought it upon him, now he must bear the outcomes.I return to his room means my temporary room to sleep but then I remember that I don’t have any cloth to wear except the one I’m wearing
[ Scarlett ]“I am not going to meet these barbarians ever again. Did you hear their questions? Don’t they know the basic manners that some aren’t meant to be discussed.” I huff in annoyance as soon as we walk out Windy’s house.Blaze, who was also very uncomfortable by the questions which were thrown at us ‘jokingly’. He quickly excused us out of there before someone got to know about the truth behind our arrangement.I roll my eyes,” I prefer my privacy, Mr. Blaze until I am here and it won’t be very long.” I say with confidence.“Let’s get back to the house. I will take you for shopping after my shift. You really need to replace your wardrobe temporarily, I mean until you live here.” He says again in his sarcastic tone.“I am fine with my clothes. Moreover, you can’t afford the cost of the brands I prefer, dear husband.” I also use mocking tone but he looks indifferent by my remark like he expected it from me.“Go inside the house and do not open it unless its Windy. She will sure
