[ Scarlett ]“This is insane. I mean he stoop this low just for the sake of something which isn’t even his.” My uncle shakes his head when he learns about Mathew’s tricks to get rid off me.“Uncle, I know and this is all too much for me to take. He has turned my life into a living hell.” I blurt out not realising that Blaze is sitting right next to me. I hear him sucking a deep breath. I always find a way to hurt him.“Blaze, I don’t know you personally but my niece hasn’t blown you crazy yet then it means she’s in good hands.” Uncle says to Blaze.“Depends on how she feels about it and I can’t disagree that this marriage has depressed her in past one month but not any longer.” Blaze replies, his face has a pained expression whereas I and Uncle stare at him in confusion. Why did he say something like this?“What do you mean, young man?” Uncle asks him first while my heartbeats become erratic.“If we manage to prove the board members of Ramirez’s company then the control will automatic
[ Blaze ]The noise of nocturnes in the stilled night is the only source of distraction for me. The truth I learnt today by Robert Crain and how Scarlett being adamant to go after her father and to seek justice for her best friend and his family. How should I tell her that the friend she had been mourning for, is her own husband. It’s becoming harder and harder for me to hide my real identity from her and keep lying on her face.“What are you still doing here, it’s almost midnight.” Scarlett’s tired voice forces me to tear my gaze from the star-studded sky and exhale the whiff of smoke in the air.“It’s your sixth cigarette in last two hours, Blaze. Stop now and tell me what’s bugging you.’ she places her hand over my shoulder and the guilt deepens.“It’s nothing, Angel. Please go back to the bed. I’ll join you in ten minutes.” I say and about to take another whiff from my cigarette but she snatches it out of my hand.“Enough, Blaze. You have been acting strange. I can’t see you like
[ Blaze ] “Look who decides to show up today.” Mathew’s sarcastic remark boils my blood but I remain quiet because I can’t lose my focus at this point and a silly mistake can be disastrous.“I am sorry, Mr. Ramirez but I submitted a leave application in the HR department. Scarlett is sick and she needed my presence.“I wish that runt would die so I don’t have to smear my hands in her blood.” He murmurs but I catch it anyways.“What did you say, Sir?” I ask him despite hearing him at the first place.“No, it’s nothing. What happened to my daughter. I am sorry, I have been busy lately that I can’t check on my daughter. How is she doing?” He quickly covers up his viciousness by a sick smile.“She’s fine now. I’ll pass your message to her.” I say still trying to act calm.“There’s no need for that because I’d be visiting my daughter tonight at your place. It’s been a really long time since I last saw her. Would you mind if I invite myself over the dinner at your place?” He asks me and hi
[ Scarlett ]We bade bye to my uncle in the morning as he couldn’t stay here for longer. I finally confessed what I feel for him and also got a glimpse of his mysterious heart where I have a place, he didn’t use the direct words but the way he told me how important I am in his life, it spoke a lot.The intercom buzzes snapping me out of my thoughts, I flinch by the sudden disturbance. I touch my neck where he was given me a big mark, the pain is still there reminding me of to whom I belong. He keeps telling me this throughout the night.I pick up the receiver.“Scarlett, come to my cabin.” Mr. Herold’s voice comes from other side.“Coming, boss.” I joke. We’re more like friends than boss and employee. I read him gossips in the tabloids and also help him to refashion himself and his clothing style. I love to spend my time here and I am really going to miss my time here once I take control of Ramirez Corp.I take my phones and make my way towards his cabin waving childishly at his guard
[ Scarlett ] “I can’t take it, Sam. I am scared.” I stare down at the three different pregnancy test kit dreadfully that she asked someone to buy for me secretly.“You have to do it, Scar. This is the only option as for now to clear your doubts.” Ruby says.I bite my lips. I am freaking out as I don’t know how we’re going to adapt ourselves to this news. We’re still on a progressive phase of our marriage.“Please take this test and be sure. We can visit the doctor later.” Sam rubs my back,”It’s going to be fine, Scar. I know this feeling. I passed out when I read my positive pregnancy test and I took two weeks to decide whether I want to keep it or abort it and now my son is three years old.” She tries to convince me.I sigh and stare at the boxes again. My life may change in next five minutes. I rush inside the toilet and did the test as per the instructions. I curse myself for being careless whenever Blaze was bare. I was too lost in those euphoric moments.I come out of the toilet
[ Scarlett ]“You’re telling me this now. Mathew invited himself over dinner at our house and he’ll be here in…”I glance at my watch, “IN next fifteen minutes. Have you lost your mind, Blaze? You practically gave him an open pass to strike on us.” I yell on my husband who just informed me that my so called father is coming for dinner.“I am sorry, babes. I really wanted to stop him but I couldn’t and I want him to come here for a reason.” He says.I roll my eyes on his irreverent statement.“I have something to tell you before you hike your blood pressure. It’s not good for your health.” He pleads me calmly but it doesn’t effect me. He just ruined our moment.“I don’t want him here, Blaze. Call him and tell him to stay at his place and lick his wife’s p*ssy. I despise their existence.” My tongue feel bitter.“Please don’t talk about her like this. She isn’t in a good condition. That monster is slowly killing her. She may die.” He says slowly and I snap my face at him.“She’s strugglin
[ Blaze ]I can’t feel my breathing and my heartbeats. Mathew turned the table on me. He exposed me on the most brutal way. The way is looking at me, I know I have lost her. The painful look and her tears are like sharp arrows stabbed directly into my heart.“Is it true, Blaze?” she asks me in a faint, broken voice.I quickly rush to hold her in my arms but she retreats back and it hurts me even more.“I want the truth, Blaze. Please stop the bullshit if you’re still lying to me.” She uses a higher pitch.I remain speechless. I am naked, I have no identity and nothing to hide but truth is bitter.“Blaze Hamilton, please tell her that you used her as a bait to reach me, to destroy me. You want to take revenge for your parents’ death but my daughter was innocent in all this, you hurt her intentionally.’ Mathew makes the situation even worse.“You stay out of this matter, you son of bitch!” I yell at him, now I don’t need to pretend but I don’t care for him. Losing Scarlett is my biggest
[ Scarlett ]I feel lifeless from inside like my soul has left my body but I am breathing. I can’t sleep or have an appetite to eat. I miss him. I terribly miss him in every single second of my life, I miss my husband but I can’t forget the betrayal I received from the person whom I love the most in this world after my mother.It has been two weeks since the horrible night when I learnt his truth and I left our house to give myself some time to sort out my mind and life. It has been since I last left my room in the Ramirez mansion. Blaze must be thinking that I am a fool to go back at a place where I am exposed to danger but he can’t hurt a single hair on my body even if he wants to butcher me into tiny pieces.My mother’s will is my shield. She cleverly put a condition in the will that if I die then all the assets will go to my children and if I die childless then the children’s welfare foundation will inherit everything. I am a bone stuck in Mathew’s throat. So, he has no option exc
