Scarlett**FOUR YEARS AFTER…. “I would kill, honestly… anything for some peace and quiet, and less danger right now" I slap Liam's arm and he chuckles. "Just joking…" He says through his teeth as he picks up the toys from the floor and turns off the TV. The moment the TV went off, our babies went off with their cries, turning red. I glance at Liam and let out a sigh.. "This is sure going to be one long day" _ The doorbell goes off and I find myself running down the stairs to get the door. I open the door and Ginny's grin makes me smile. "Now where's my favorite Twin?" She shakes the wrapped present in her hand. I notice Michael behind her, holding a really huge wrapped gift. "They're upstairs, Liam's trying to put Rick in his outfit" I say and Ginny walks inside. "Hey Michael…" I say, the moment he steps in. "I don't mean to pry but that's a teddy bear… right" I touch the wrapped present, and feeling its softness, I breathe out a sigh of relief.. Michael smirks, "Ginn
I bit my bottom lip and bore my eyes into the green-eyed gentleman sitting in front of me.He seemed completely smitten by me, and I liked that he was succumbing to my charms."To be honest, I don't understand why a beautiful woman like you would be interested in someone as dull as me." He laughs as he steadies his glasses in front of his eyes. I would give it to him because although he has beautiful eyes, he is not particularly attractive overall. I also question why a woman of my beauty would be interested in someone like him.And nothing adds up to the fact that I'm bored and my friends utterly ignored me to hang out with their matchmaking partners after I took the effort to invite them to the biggest club house in town where we could have the fun of our lives is nothing more than the latter. I'm just getting bored right now."I think you're not only attractive, but also funny," I say with a smile.I am fully aware that I am lying.He blushes and leans in closer. "My name is
I nudge the pervert behind me and scream my way out of his grasp.I turn around to see the man from a few minutes earlier, the extremely intoxicated one who stopped me near the entrance, and he smiles."What the hell do you want?" My voice was more powerful than any scream. Looking around, I realize it's only the two of us outside, and if something bad happens, I'm on my own. I understand that I'm attractive, but please leave me alone."I want you. "Don't you understand?" He sneers at me."No… I don-I stop talking. When you say no to men like this, they tend to get a little bit cranky, and then they get a little bit physical with you. Considering that my night has already gone poorly enough as it is, I bet he can do worse. So instead of trying to dissuade him from following me, I concoct another plan."You know what.?" I force a smile. "Why don't we go back inside" His mouth breaks into a broad grin, and he bobs his head back and forth so vigorously that it gave me the illusion
. As my body juggles on the stranger's shoulder, I try to scream.His fingers tightens around my waist as I let out a peep, and his voice takes over."Try to scream and we'll end up shoving two bodies in a bag," He threatens. Shit… he saw me staring. I gulp in disbelief, still trying not to make a sound.As we come closer to the narrow road where the body ramming scenario is taking place, my soul almost leaves my body. Getting close to the scene and his friends, the stranger with the impressively strong physique knocks me down and threatens me with his eyes not to run So I didn't. I wouldn't dare. Standing with three built dangerous men, I am scared and I'm pretty sure my heart beat can be heard from miles away. Am I going to die? Is this the end? "Who the fvck is she?" One of the men cusses as he glares at me. I can hardly make out his face thanks to the dark night but I know he is sure glaring at me. "I saw her staring at both of you," the one who had obviously caught me
I open my eyes in response to the sound of clapping.I am momentarily confused as I attempt to determine where I am.Instead of being in a car, I am in a room with bright lights, expensive-looking cushions, and my hands are tied together in front of me. I shut my eyes and open them again. The hell… "What happened?" I ask the male figure in front of me."You fell asleep." He replies."What..." How in the hell did I manage to get any shut-eye knowing that this was the situation I was in?I look around again, and my eyes lands on two familiar faces sitting at the end of the room. There's Kane, the driver, who I'm convinced despises my very existence, and then there's the almost-silent guy who, I'm led to assume, doesn't speak much. And thanks to the extremely bright lights in the room, I can make out their faces. So maybe a perfect description to the cops won't come out too hard. While Kane's green dyed hair is fine, the quiet one's orange dyed hair is a terrible choice for his
"Hmm… Scarlett," "Scarlett" I blink countlessly as Liam mentions my name in a humorous and amusing way, there is a way it's bouncing off his lips with his thick accent that makes you just want to-"Have a seat." He offers, gesturing towards the chair behind the desk he's seated. Have a seat? Is my death being prolonged over a cup of coffee? I really don't feel good about this. I take a seat and carefully observe as Liam gives this look to his men, and one by one they leave the room, Kane clearly glaring at me before finally leaving.I scoff. He's so pathetic, even their so-called boss doesn't glare at me like that. The room is now completely empty, quiet, and quite uncomfortable. Sitting in the center of the large moving chair behind the desk, I suddenly feel small. Liam gets down from the desk and turns to me. His height…I feel so small. He looks down at me as if I'm a toddler who has taken candy that wasn't mine and is about to reprimand my ass. "So… Scarlett,
I try to put my mind at ease as I try to understand what this Liam man in front of me is saying… "I don't understand," I shake my head. Clearly he wants me to be his wife, I heard that part, he says it's the only way I can help him with the mayor's fabricated death he conveyed, but still, I don't get it. Like I said, I can help with anything at all. Anything aside drugs and being dead, but why his wife? How does the mayor being dead get to do with me being a freaking wife. I am just twenty three! Liam stares at me for a very long time, the kind of look that shows you want to snap the person's head off their neck. He has already explained so much, but doesn't want to go into more details, and honestly I don't want him to tell me more, because the more I know, the more it endangers my life. I just want to go home. Liam sighs, "You know what? Just ignore everything we've discussed up until now." He moves closer to where I'm seated and pulls out one of the drawers from the desk
Because Liam is making himself appear intimidating and giving me this look that says, "Fuckin hurry!", I find myself having to sign a variety of documents in an instant without having the opportunity to read the terms and conditions of any of them.I keep signing each paper document without even reading the information that I will be responsible for sitting through. When I take notice of a statement, I pause.'Party A can do whatever they desire with party B, with or without permission from party B' I am party B! What the hell is this? Now that his men are in the room, I look up at Liam, and I don't like how they're all looking at me.awaiting my completion of the stupid contract.Noticing my eyes on them, Kane sneers at me. "What?" Party A can do whatever he desires? Not a chance. I need to have a say in this. I have to speak up. "I… want to I pause when they all raise their brows at me in unison. I turn to look at just Liam. "I want to talk about this," I say, pointing t
