SCARLETI woke up early the next morning. I could already hear murmuring in the kitchen. I smelled butter and bacon in the cold air. Nate was probably early today. It was unusual for him to come early because he was a sleepyhead.I swung my legs out of bed and wandered out of my bedroom. Katherine wasn’t talking with Nate. Luke? I frowned hard and blinked my eyes a couple of times, but he was still there.Luke and Katherine were in front of the kitchen. She was laughing at him. Luke was smiling back at her, as well.“What is going on?” I told them.“Oh, there she is.” Katherine grinned.Luke turned around. He was still in a white long-sleeved shirt, and an apron hung around his waist.“You... you are here?”Luke smiled. “Do you want me to leave?”“No, no.” I swallowed hard, still surprised. “I thought…” I don’t know how I should react. Of course, I was happy to see him. I missed him too much, but his presence made me sad at the same time. He didn’t know a single thing about Thomas’ pl

SCARLETIt was my graduation today, and my fellow students and their parents filled the university ground. I could hear the loud excited voices everywhere. The rows of seats were full; I joined the students with the surname beginning with C. I was in the fourth row. I spotted Katherine in the same row, but she was at the end of the line since her surname was Collins. Thomas, Luke, and Mom were in the bleachers. I knew they were watching me.At precisely ten, the senior professors arrived, decked out in their black and crimson regalia. We stood and applauded the teaching staff. One of them was the Chancellor; he stepped in front of the stage and initiated the opening speech. When the Chancellor welcomed another speaker, he introduced him as a young businessman from New York City.He introduced himself as Zachary Waltz, CEO of Bandwidth Ventures. A prestigious IT and engineering company in Edinburgh. A spark in my head reminded me that he was the cousin Katherine told me about and the

SCARLET I opened my eyes and saw a white ceiling on top of me. I blinked rapidly to get a clear view of my surroundings. I wasn’t in my room or in my own bed. I suddenly felt a sharp pang of pain in my right leg. “Uh, w-what is this…” I moaned. My throat felt dry. “What is going on?” Right. Everything flashed back in my mind. I remember everything. The graduation, my family, walking away… Raoul came to me and then to the restroom… Luke… He was there. I remembered he was there. “Scarlet?” I heard Katherine’s voice. I shifted my head to the other side. “Katherine?” “You are awake! Thank God you’re awake!” She immediately sat next to me, squeezing my hand tight. “Where’s… where’s…” “Your parents came out for lunch. They didn’t sleep waiting for you to wake up. You’ve been asleep for a day,” Nate said. “No.” I shook my head. “And Luke? Where’s Luke? What happened to me?” “Shh… It’s okay. He’s sleeping.” Katherine pointed out the man sitting on the couch with his arms crossed ove

GABRIEL I woke up in an unfamiliar bed with a pounding head, and according to my hazy memory, I had sex with a redhead whose legs curled in my stomach. The last time I found myself in a stranger’s bed, I saw my face plastered across the front page of a tabloid with the most outrageous title. Stark Apparel Inc. CEO, Gabriel Stark, Spotted in A Hotel with A Senator’s Daughter Having a Scandalous Affair! Clearly, the media only targeted me because of my reputation in the corporate world. The woman in the tabloid wasn’t even a senator’s daughter. She was the mayor’s daughter. That’s why I didn’t believe in the news. They just wanted to sell papers. The past few years have been chaotic enough. I was a businessman—not a fucking Hollywood actor. I moved her leg aside, creeped out of bed, and tried not to make a sound. I swiftly dressed, picked a sheet of tissue paper from the nightstand, and a pen from my suit jacket, and then wrote on it. Thank you for letting me devour your pussy last

AUDREY“Mr. Stark, the applicants are here. Should I let them in?” Ms. Mason poked her head through the slightly cracked door. Ms. Mason had initially interviewed five applicants for the internship position, but I couldn’t see the people she was talking to inside.“Go ahead, Ms. Mason,” a man’s voice said from the door.Before the end of our initial interview, Ms. Mason, the head of HR, briefed us about the company’s higher-ups, and we would answer them for the final interview. First was Bryan Jameson, the General Manager, who would be our direct superior. The second was Coulson Stark, the Vice-CEO. Last but not least was the CEO, Gabriel Stark. Gee, the name alone made me curious as hell.My best friend Chelsea called me about the job vacancy only yesterday, leaving me to fly from Phoenix to New York last night. Typically, people wouldn’t grab such an opportunity. It was too abrupt. But I couldn’t seem to ignore how promising the position was.According to Chelsea, Stark Apparel was

AUDREYLiam Cross. The memory of him was one reason I wanted to flee from Phoenix. How could I ever forget his eyes that stared affectionately at me that night? He—who still haunts my dreams at night because of guilt? Guilt that I led him to misery because of my mistake—his death, to be exact, however brutal that word was. But perhaps fate wasn’t done with me yet. And just when I thought I had finally escaped, fate sent someone else to torture me. I thought I was going to faint on the spot, looking at the face of my prospective boss, Gabriel Stark. The symmetry of his face resembled Liam, only Mr. Stark was sophisticated and brisk, and right now, I was having second thoughts about working for him. I could call HR and tell them I wouldn’t be able to come anymore, but that would be a terrible blemish on my employment record.“Hey!” Chelsea sat next to me, snapping a finger in my face to bring me back to reality. “What’s wrong? You look like you’ve been sucked into a black hole.” Sh

GABRIEL“Don’t do this to me, please, miss,” I begged. My chest was growing tight. “You know I won’t do that. You were with me that whole night, and even if I knew the risk, I brought you home because I can’t do that to you… Ah!” This time, a sharp strike from the left side hit me. I bellowed in excruciating pain.I dropped to my knees, screamed, pleaded, and used all the strength I had left in my body. I looked up at my assaulter’s glacial expression. Audrey remained standing still.Two days ago, Samuel asked me to take his sister, Audrey. I was going to New York, where I would start a new life. Audrey Hopkins was the youngest daughter of the vineyard owner where my father and I worked. She was sixteen. I was three years older than her. I guessed she never noticed me even once, but I always saw her. Every day, I watched her from afar, admiring her beauty and her sweet face and listening to her sweet voice. And I thought I was the luckiest man in the world when she suddenly spoke to m

GABRIEL“Mr. Stark?” Audrey placed a coffee on my desk two weeks later. Typically, I could just ask HR to reassign her, but I didn’t, even though looking at her made my blood boil.I kept myself in control around her—to refrain from staring at her too long, but I couldn’t help being more contemptuous than ever. I made her responsible for my twice-a-day cup of coffee, demanded that she rearrange every fucking paper I had in my filing drawers, even if it was unnecessary, and re-do every assignment and proposal at least five times. Whenever she asked for my help, I simply answered her with ‘I’m busy.’She never seemed offended or dismayed by my cruelty, which made me even angrier. I even asked her to run to a bookstore three hours away from the office, but along the way, I asked her to come back, telling her I didn’t need the book anyway. She came back to my office with a smile on her face. She even asked me if I still needed something before she left.I thought having her work for me an
