[ Scarlett ]
The old lady Windy was an over talkative woman. She literally told me the history and geography this shit hole that she calls a heaven for permanent dwellers. They consider themselves a big family but I find it annoying. I mean people need privacy and they don’t know how to respect it for someone who doesn’t like to be involved unnecessarily like me.
Windy also told me that I and Blaze should come to her house for breakfast where she has invited others also to introduce me to their society. Once she left, I yawned and glanced at the clock. It was around ten and Blaze was nowhere not that I cared about my father’s loyal dog aka Blaze Hamilton. I rise from the washed sofa and put my plates in the kitchen sink. If he thinks that I’d play a housewife for him then he’s living in a dream.
He brought it upon him, now he must bear the outcomes.
I return to his room means my temporary room to sleep but then I remember that I don’t have any cloth to wear except the one I’m wearing and it’s reeking now.
“I won’t forgive you for this Dad.” I curse my father for putting me in this situation.
I return to the bedroom and scan the interior. It isn’t very fancy but he maintains it. It smells of him. I open his closet to find something temporary to wear until he brings my clothes. I pick out a black shirt which has a unique scent on it. It’s expensive for sure but a poor driver like Blaze can’t afford luxuries. I frown but I shrug it off and change into his shirt which covers my body up to my thighs but its fine by me. I usually sleep just in my underwear.
I drift off as soon as I hit the pillow. The exhaustion takes over my senses.
Next day I am woke up by the loud beeping of an alarm clock. I jolt up and look at the time, it shows 6:15 AM in the early morning and it boils my blood. Who the hell wakes up this early? Definitely I don’t. Groaning to myself, I make my way out of the room, sleep still rebelling in my eyes but the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen drifts me there.
Sleep disappears from my eyes as soon as my eyes lands on the man near thee stove. His upper body is naked while his trousers hung dangerously low. He has a lion’s head tattoo on his back. He is undoubtedly the most handsome man I’ve ever seen.
“Good Morning, Ma’am. Please come and have your breakfast.” His smooth raspy voice snaps me out of my dirty thoughts and I find him staring at me precisely on his shirt.
“So, you’re already on your duty to take care of Mathew Remirez’s daughter, impressive. Your loyalty deserves a medal.” I mock him while inspecting the simplest breakfast he prepared for me.
“Yes, Ma’am. I have no other reasons to share my house and food with you. I promised your father to protect you as long as this marriage binds us.’ He responses in the same cocky tone and pours some coffee for me.
I feel insulted and a liability again. People always treat me like I am a little spoiled girl who has no significance of her own.
“Don’t worry, I am going to meet my lawyer to see what he can do against this injustice. I don’t want to live here as well. This place is a replica of hell for me and the people are savage here. I mean who takes interest in other’s lives.” I scrunch my nose in disgust. I hear him sigh. He doesn’t seem to mind my words. I taste the simple eggs and grilled breads. It was oily but I don’t mind as I am hungry. I quickly finish my plate as I have to meet my lawyer to see what they can do and about to put the plate in the sink when he grabs my hand. His hold is gentle but it sends a spark down my body. I never feel this before with any men. His intense eyes are staring down at me.
“You left your plates last night. I didn’t say anything but from now on you have to wash your own plates, Ma’am. I can cook for you but I am not your servant.” He says in a curt voice.
I blink my eyes after I comprehend his words and it fills me with rage.
“But you can be my father’s servant, right?” I grit my teeth and jerks his hand,” Why are you playing this game, Blaze? What will you be getting out of this? Tell me your price, Blaze Hamilton, I will give it to you and get the hell out of my life. I can’t tolerate your constant insults just because you have made a narrative about me that I am daddy’s spoiled princess. Every coin has two sides, Blaze.” Tears brim in my eyes but I don’t let them fall.
His features soften a little but I don’t need his sympathy. After all he is also like others.
“I have placed your stuffs in your room. You can arrange them later but now we have to give a quick visit to Windy’s house to apologize that we can’t attend the breakfast. Please change quickly, I have to report at 8:00 AM.” He says and starts washing our plates and other pots. He is doing it effortlessly.
“I am not meeting the group of noisy ladies who has interest in my life than their own. Pass Windy my sincere apology.” I say carelessly and about to leave when he says something which hits my weakest nerves.
“For once, try to think about other’s sentiments, Ma’am. She is the woman who loves to take care of others. She always treated me like her son and tend to my needs even without asking. She brought dinner for you when she learnt from me that you can’t cook. Please respect others. I am sure you can understand it better as you also don’t have a mother.”
His words pinch me but he’s right. I don’t care for others’ feelings and always drown in self pity.
“Give me ten minutes. I will take a bath.’ I say in a low voice. He silently nods his head and resumes cleaning up the kitchen.
This man has a bipolar personality. He acts all cold and robotic but shifts to a gentleman suddenly. He has a bitter past which turned him into a complex personality.
Fifteen minutes later I am ready to visit Windy and her husband and after that I will ask Blaze to drop me off at my lawyer’s office.
“You wear these clothes normally?” He questions me as his eyes scan me from tip to toe.
“What’s wrong with my dress?” I ask him back as I find no problem with my Prada dress.
He shakes his head,”Never mind, don’t come to me sulking when people will ask you how a middle class man’s wife affords such expensive dress which costs more than their average income. You don’t want to reveal your identity to them, do you?”
I bite down on my lips. He is right. I should change into something simple but the problem is I don’t have simple clothes. I mostly wear shorts and exposing tops as I hardly stay home.
“I don’t have clothes which are suitable for your society.” I tell him and he rolls his eyes. Why he always has to behave rudely with me like I have done a heinous crime by taking birth in a rich family. It’s not my fault.
‘Please avoid any questions regarding our marriage. They can’t know anything.” He says as we walk out of his house. I feel the neighbours gawking at us and I understand why he wants me to seal my lips about our marriage.
He circles his arm around my waist and leads us top the next door, Windy’s house. I can hear murmurs of people coming from her house.
“I can’t entertain crowd, Blaze.’ I whisper to him as we walk further closer towards the house.
“You must learn to adapt yourself in every circumstances, Scarlett that’s what your father wants for you.” He answers and I feel jitters when he addresses me by my name for the first time.
[ Scarlett ]“I am not going to meet these barbarians ever again. Did you hear their questions? Don’t they know the basic manners that some aren’t meant to be discussed.” I huff in annoyance as soon as we walk out Windy’s house.Blaze, who was also very uncomfortable by the questions which were thrown at us ‘jokingly’. He quickly excused us out of there before someone got to know about the truth behind our arrangement.I roll my eyes,” I prefer my privacy, Mr. Blaze until I am here and it won’t be very long.” I say with confidence.“Let’s get back to the house. I will take you for shopping after my shift. You really need to replace your wardrobe temporarily, I mean until you live here.” He says again in his sarcastic tone.“I am fine with my clothes. Moreover, you can’t afford the cost of the brands I prefer, dear husband.” I also use mocking tone but he looks indifferent by my remark like he expected it from me.“Go inside the house and do not open it unless its Windy. She will sure
[ Scarlett ]The conversation with Mr. William keeps playing in my mind. I feel betrayed by everyone. This whole world around me seems like a disillusion. They kill my trust and my faith on my fate and the God. I feel lost. I don’t want to be at Blaze’s place. I do not belong to his world but I am not welcomed at my own home either.The sun has set a long time ago. I lost track of time as I have been roaming on the streets with a blank mind and numb heart. None of my friends responded to my calls or texts. They must have come to know about my broken state that I can no longer spend my loads of money on our friendship. They are good weather friends who slapped the harsh reality on my face. My phone keeps vibrating in my purse but I don’t bother to check the caller id as I don’t want to talk to anyone in the moment but when it rings continuously, I have to check. I pull out my phone and see an unknown number on the screen. I want to reject the call but a part of me nudges me to answer
[ Scarlett ]"I want you to fuck me, Blaze Hamilton."I don't know how these words left my lips but I know what I really needed.His dark ocean green eyes dilate on my atrocious demand. He says nothing but keeps staring at me which makes me embarrassed. I sounded like a desperate whore when I demanded sex from a man whom I barely know and probably hate his guts but he is dangerously irresistible.I want to feel this man.Much to my dismay, he rises on his feet, collects our plates and silently walks back in the kitchen to put them in the sink.I bite on my bottom lip, the sexual tension is quite present in the air. He feels it too but he's trying his best to avoid me."Blaze, I am serious here." I march towards him and block his path before he retires for his room. He gauges my reaction but I don't give up on the determination I have in my body and tone."It's getting late, you should sleep now, Scarlett." He says in his deep velvety voice."No, I'm not an early sleeper, Blaze. Do not
[ Blaze ]I look at the sleeping figure of Scarlett coiled under the blanket. I couldn't sleep till early hours of the night. She demanded sex, I gave it to her. Deep down, I couldn't resist my brewing desire for her since I laid my eyes upon her. I left her after two more rounds when she was almost on the verge of passing out. She challenged me and Blaze Hamilton never looses.She had been with other men and whenever I imagine her being fucked by someone who isn't I, my chest burns.One thing is sure, I'll be the last man who'd be fucking her. She has a magnetic charm that I can't resist.I check the time, the clocks shows it's still early for the princess to wake up but I have an important task to accomplish. Carla has been keeping an eye on Mathew and she informed me last night that today he's going to have a word with Mr. William.I am sure he wants to talk about the legal complications in the inheritance procedure and the company's legal rights which he somehow succeeded to turn
[ Scarlett ]What have I done?I had sex with my legal husband. How could let my guards down and begged him to fuck me?“Get ready, we are going out for shopping and dinner outside because I am not in a mood to cook, tonight.” Blaze’s voice snaps me out of the fragments of memories.I raise my head from the business book I have been reading to look at Blaze who is leaning on the doorframe of my room. He isn’t wearing his signature black suit but a pair of black slacks and blue fitted shirt. He looks sinfully handsome and too real to be a driver.“Why are you back home early?” I can’t stop myself from asking him.“Mr. Remirez has to leave for Montreal, he doesn’t need me there so am I off from my job early today.” He replies with a shrug of his shoulder.“Whatever, I am not going anywhere with you. Don’t you know that my accounts are freeze and I do not have a single penny to order a pizza. I don’t problem with my clothes.” I snap at him. He sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose,” I
[ Scarlett ]Blaze’s eyes are spitting fire. For a moment I shudder under the shadow of his cold glares casting on them. He approaches them and they immediately leave my hands. I jerk them and step aside. They insulted me in the worst way and I couldn’t do anything to save my dignity from getting ripped.“We’re sorry, Sir. We didn’t know that this crazy woman is your wife.” They answer him in shaking voices but why are they scared of him? He’s just a customer in this cheap market.“Explain yourself to your manager. You disrespected a customer and do you have a proof that my wife created chaos here?” He barks at them and they flinch again.“No…no, Sir. We didn’t see anything but two other customers complained that she is damaging the property here and we also saw the clothes thrown on the floor.” They responded and it was true.“Clothes can be dropped accidentally by anyone. You misbehaved with my wife. You will be explaining this to your manager.” He says and then grabs my hand. It w
[ Blaze ]I don’t know how should I feel about Scarlett. She unknowingly dropped a hint of my biggest victory over her father. She told me about the place or a puzzle I must say where my father could possibly hide the clue or proof of Mathew’s crimes and my father’s innocence but I have to be fast and careful simultaneously. Scarlett has her own doubts on my life and identity. I had a narrow escape no longer than hours ago. I have to take steady steps.“Hey, Mom, hey, Dad. How are you both? It’s been a really long time since we last had our moments I miss you both a lot.” I pause and inhale the fresh air. I can feel the void that their death left in my heart. Years passed but the pain never faded.“I married Mathew’s daughter to decrease the distance between my victory and his doom. He has no idea that I have been playing with him for months and the fool is too engrossed in eliminating the minor thorns from his path. He can’t see the big rock. I know you won’t appreciate my decision t
[ Scarlett ] It’s the late in the night when we come back home, high on heat and burning in our lust. Blaze grips the back of my neck, smirking as he buries his rough lip, my hands grip his shirt tightly to balance our bodies. Pulling his head up, I kiss him on the lips. His hands grab my hips, pasting me on his chest as if he is trying to mould us together, I shouldn’t be feeling this way. It just a casual fuck. He uses his free hand to squeeze my throat lightly as he licks the seems of my swollen lips. My legs parted as he rubs his hard bulge on my core to let me know that he is hard to invade my virtue. Breathless moans escape us from the passionate kisses, dirty and raw. He trails his lips down my throat while his hands hold my waist to keep me on place. He is tsking it slow. I love the way he os torturing me to beg for him but I am not going to beg but make him crave for me if he thinks that he can play this game. I gasp for air when he licks the rim of my ear and sucks my gol
