“What!” Some of the people in the large hall shouted shockingly at what Mrs. Brown had just said. Before anyone could take the contract, he must be married with kids. Like seriously? Everyone was surprised and taken aback by the new rule Mrs. Brown had just decreed, what could have made her change her mind? Scarlet who heard the explanation from the hall rushed out of the room, and she saw her grandma addressing the public. “... it is for the best, thank you, everyone!” Mrs. Brown smiled stunningly as she ended her speech. Veronica was standing behind her, and when she saw Scarlet, she winked secretly at her elder sister. Scarlet was swarmed with happiness about her having a sister, and she smiled back at Veronica. “Fuck.” Harry muttered from where he is sitting, he knew he have no choice but to reconcile with Scarlet and make her his wife since she has his kids. As if on cue, his eyes saw her and he stood to his feet with the intent of approaching, but he stood on track. Wil
“You both are joking, right?” Scarlet said, looking at both men as if they have gone crazy. “I am not, Scarlet.” Ford quickly said, and Scarlet eyes glowed with surprise. She couldn’t believe her ears right now. “Get lost, loser! You are interested in her because you want to win the contract!” Harry deliberately blew up Ford’s intentions toward Scarlet. “What! Is that true, boss?” Scarlet faced Fords as she became dumbfounded. “No! No! No! No! He is lying, please believe me, Scarlet. I truly love you so much, I have wanted to tell you but I have been so afraid to tell you.” Fords frantically explained himself to her, hoping she would believe him. “Lies!” Harry chuckled devilishly. Scarlet was already fuming angrily, what does her boss take her for? A puppet he can just have like that and use for his own selfish gains? “I am disappointed in you, Ford.” Scarlet growls and Ford’s face fell immediately as he became dejected. “Both of you should leave this place before I call the c
“Mother, you are grounding me for a week because of this cheap thing?” Marriott cried again, pointing at her hand Scarlet and at the same time facing her mother. “I won’t take it lightly with you Marriott if you dare insult my grandchild again!” Mrs. Browns warned, her eyes darkened at her daughter. Marriott gulped won fearfully as she calmed down but she turned her head to Scarlet and says, “You will pay dearly for this.” And with that, she stormed back to the house. “Grandma, please forgive her.” Scarlet quickly pleaded to the woman. However, Mrs. Brown walks to her and smiles. “Don’t worry my child, Marriott is my daughter and I know she will come around, soon.” Scarlet was still restless, she didn’t want her sudden presence in the family to be trouble. “Come on, let us go inside and talk.” Mrs. Brown cooed Scarlet and she guides her as they walk towards the house. The residence is majestic, it was built in a rare remarkable structure. Looking around the yard, Scarlet saw t
Fords sat on the bed in his room, he was drinking his liquor as his thoughts were crowded with Scarlet. She is the only woman his heart has come to love after his first girlfriend, Natasha, broke up with him. “Scarlet.” He chuckled drunkenly, shaking his head before he promptly gulps down more content through his glass cup filled with liquor. Abruptly the door of his room opens, and his foster sister slowly sticks her head into the room as she peek at him briefly before slinking into the room. “Hi... Hi big brother.” Miranda shutters nervously as she walks closer to him. She was wearing a pink gown that barely covered her thigh, her hair was packed in a hairy bun, and her lips were shiny with lipgloss. “Miranda...” Ford calls drunkenly as he raises his head to look at her, his eyelids were heavy for him to stare. “Big Brother, why are you drinking?” Miranda asked worriedly as she sat down beside him. Ford chuckles as he took a deep gulp of his liquor and he turns his head to
> SCARLET’s ~ APARTMENT >Scarlet arrived home late and when she check her wrist watch, it was 6:03 PM. “Fuck, I am so tired...” Scarlet sighed heavily as she slapped her face with her purse. However, she stopped immediately when she saw a brawny man standing at the pavement. “Nico... Nicolas!” Scarlet shuttered shockingly, gawking at him as he walked towards her. Her heart began to beat faster, she was losing her sense already as she found herself bewitched by his drop-dead gorgeous sight. Nicolas smiled handsomely, he was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. His hair is curly and his blue eye is bright and luminous. In his right hand, he was holding a rosy exquisite flower as he strides stalwartly towards her. “Wha... What are you doing here?” Scarlet shutters to him, she did not expect him to be here. “Ugh... I came to see you.” Nicolas beamed and then he handed her the flower. Scarlet was blank for a while, gawking blankly at the flower in his hand before she took it
It was morning already and the sun was glistening brightly across the city, Meanwhile, Scarlet and her kids were having breakfast in the dining room. Dolly was just stepping out of the kitchen with two more trays, she got to the dining space and took a seat for herself next to Natasha. “Aunty, your food is delicious!” Taylor complimented her and Dolly's eyes lits up at him. “Really?” She knowingly asked and Taylor nods his head at her in confirmation. “I am jealous,” Scarlet muttered as she takes a bite of her omelet and everyone laughed except Natasha. “You don’t have to be jealous, okay? After all, I spend the most time with the kids, and I do most of the cooking for them, but don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining ma’am.” Dolly sighed and she started to eat her food. “Whatever.” Scarlet rolls her eyes, snatching the glass cup from the table and she drinks the water. “Wait for a second... Tomorrow is what?” Scarlet asked after having her drink and she dropped the glass cup
Scarlet was pushed out of the restaurant by her foster parent and their daughter, Sally. She was still sitting on the ground as the anger start to build up in her heart, she had had enough of their insults and abuses toward her. Standing up on her feet as she straightened herself up in an instantaneous manner, she walked to the roadside and board a taxi that will take her back home. On her way home, Scarlet took out her phone from her purse and sent an urgent text to Nicolas telling him their date has been canceled. Relaxing her head on the head border of the taxi seat as she tried to calm herself down, but it wasn't working. This family has pushed her to the edge, all these years she had endured but now... No more. “They think are they moneyed and they have all the power in the world right? they think they can always humiliate me in public? They think they are invincible and undefeatable?” Scarlet snarled. “No, they are not, I will show how much stronger I have become and I w
The next morning, Sally woke up just as the sun ray seeped into her room through the white silk curtains.“Fuck, my head.” She groans tiredly, holding her head with her hand as she tried to overcome the distress. Last night, she had got herself drunk too stupor since the downfall of her family has made her depressed and at the same time maddened. People will mock her everywhere she goes, and her friends will stop flocking around with her. “Shit!” Sally muttered in spite, slowly lifting her head to the large clock hanging on the left side wall of her room as she checked the time and it was 9: 36 AM. “Nicolas.” She gasped sharply and she drifted out of the bed. Then, she quickly pull off her clothes before flickering to the bathroom. She’d plan on meeting him today at his office today and then seduce him, try her best to trap him in her palm before seeking his support to help her family. Sally switched off the running water after she was done bathing, and
