When she went to bed, she couldn’t fall asleep anymore, so she just stared at the ceiling and started wondering where he had been. No calls and explanations and he didn’t come back all night.
Scarlett turned over, the quilt under her, and closed her eyes. Had he gone off with another woman? Had he been drunk again?
No matter what had really happened to him the previous night, Scarlett just felt disappointed and became aware that she was not as important as she thought to him. It turned out that there was a huge gap between them, and it was so hurtful to leave without a word. Gradually she loosened her grip on the phone in her hand and fell into a deep sleep.
Scarlett dreamed of her mother. Her mother came to pick up Skyler and her after school, waiting on the corner of the street at sunset. On the way ba
“It’s not a big deal, just a little spice. If you really don’t want me, you wouldn’t sleep with me.” Vivian eased back on the bed with one hand and went on, “Admit it! Your little girlfriend can’t be enough for you, and I’m your best option.”Upon seeing the torn clothes on the floor, he felt very regretful. The thought that Scarlett knew about this was killing him.“She is carrying a baby now. If you dare to mention what happened here to her, don’t blame me for not having mercy on you.”Vivian just smirked, “Relax, darling! I’ll tell her the truth. I’ll tell her I drugged you, and you treated me like her. Isn’t that what happened? It’s up to her to decide what she wants to do with that information.”
There was only one thing on his mind: he couldn’t let her leave him. He had to make sure she didn’t leave him, no matter what it took. Scarlett was his happiness.“Oh, really? What if I insist?” Scarlett looked around and said, “We are on the third floor right now. It will not kill me if I jump out from here, but what will happen if I do that? I really want to find out. Do you want me to try?”Upon hearing her words, Francis looked pale and began to tremble. He started begging, “Come on, babe, you’re the mother of my child. My one and only love. My joy. Please forgive me!”“Well, if you don’t want that to happen, you’d better let me go. I’m begging you to spare my baby and me.” Scarlett said sincerely.
“That might happen!” She responded, indignant at the thought that Francis would betray her.“But I can’t allow that to happen. So I think he should be cautious before he makes a choice!“ She said.“So you know what they are planning?” Eve inquired.“I mean, look, it’s not that complicated. His mother thinks that I’m not a good match for him. He’s rich and handsome, and I’m poor, and lack manners… according to her. And getting pregnant before we even got married… well, let’s just say that didn’t bode too well either.” Scarlett paused for a moment and then went on. “She did a background check on me and all that… she really doesn’t want me to marry her son. It doesn’t take a genius to figure
“Could you stop talking about him already? I’m tired of hearing about him.”“Fine, whatever. Do you have a different man we can gossip about?” Eve joked.“No, I don’t,” Scarlett admitted.“See? You are pathetic! Can you believe that you’ve only slept with one man your whole life? What a shame! Such wasted potential.” Eve gasped.Having stared at her for a while, Scarlett just said, “I think I’d better go to sleep now, it’s not like we have anything to talk about anyway….”“Girl, be honest with me. Have you ever fantasized about other men?” Eve grabbed Scarlett’s hand and asked her, a sense of urgency suddenly fil
On the other end of town, Scarlett finished eating a bunch of oranges and wiped her mouth. She bounded over to Eve’s bedroom in order to wake her up. Eve wasn’t in a good mood.“What the hell are you doing? I fell asleep at, like, three in the morning! Is this an emergency or something? Why the fuck are you waking me up this early? Man, I’m gonna punch you!”Since Scarlett knew Eve very well, she didn’t take what she said seriously. Touching her belly, she said, “Eve, I don’t know… I think I’ve eaten too many fruits. My stomach kinda hurts.”“Does it hurt a lot? How bad is it?” Eve asked. She was still barely awake.“Not much, it’s just this vague kinda pain. It’s sort of on
“Hey, when did you find such a good place like this? Who’s gonna find us here?” She gasped after they came to the end of a long winding road.“It’s very safe here. They’ll never even think to look for you here.” Chuck explained.“But it’s still your family’s estate,” Scarlett murmured.“Scarlett, just relax. Everything you need is ready, and the environment is very good for you and your baby.”“You are right, the air here is very fresh. I’m kind of hungry now!” She took a deep breath.“We’ll be there soon, and be careful under your feet.”“Okay, Okay! Don't be a
Earlier that day, curious to know who was preparing these lovely meals, Scarlett had gone over to the kitchen. To her dismay, the head chef was an elderly lady. She had years of experience, but she wasn’t the young debonair that Scarlett had been hoping for.“Oh, well, that’s too bad. But then again, you won’t have to worry about Francis getting all possessive and worried that you’re cheating on him. What a paranoid dude. I pity him.” Eve said as she forked a piece of foie gras.“Wow, it’s so delicious. If I weren’t worried about gaining too much weight, I swear to god I would eat it from morning to night. For every meal.” Scarlett squinted her eyes with enjoyment.“Well, don’t worry about that! You’re already overweight!” Eve laughe
“She is having the baby tonight, and it’s very dangerous. We should take her to the hospital.” Eve said sharply.“Doctors and nurses are waiting in the backyard. And the medical equipment is much better than anything they have at the hospital here. So, please calm down and trust me. Everything is under control.” Ella explained calmly.Two tough and tall bodyguards used a stretcher to carry Scarlett toward the backyard. They had been here over a month, but they had never come to the backyard, so they also didn’t notice that there was a little door leading into the little backyard.Scarlett was in too much pain to even breathe, so she grabbed Eve’s hand very tightly. She knew she was hurting her, but she was in far too much pain to care at that moment.
