Chapter-78
Scarlett Miller's POV
Within seconds I was in his arms, one of hand was covering my ear and the other one tightly around him.
I cried, steady tears while holding him like my whole life was dependent on that moment. "And I thought you like rain." He laughed in my ear.
I didn't respond to him, "I like rain." I said.
"But aren't you scared of it?" He asked me again.
"Thund- Thunder." I stuttered.
Ch-79Eric James Winslet's POV"We have not received any message from Mr. Benjamin yet," Krish informed me."It's okay, I will think about it after reaching home." I put on my sunglasses while moving out of the airport.I saw Scarlett behind me through my peripheral vision. "This is my den," I smirked."Grandma is waiting for you," I heard Lucas saying those words. "Should I make a call and you will talk to him?" He asked me."No! Let me surprise her. Sh
Chapter-80Eric James Winslet's POV"Yes! I know her. That's why I am letting you go." He said, "But today's dinner at my place. She will meet Jenna and we will discuss something." He completed it."Yes! Dinner at your place." I smiled.That's when I looked up at the sky. It was windy, the weather seemed to welcome an untold storm. To be honest I was already ready for everything."Sir! Mrs. Winslet is waiting for you." James came forward with a head down.
Eric James Winslet's POVI will stay in a hotel. Let me use one of your cars." She finally told me. She started moving towards the entrance. She wanted to leave this place as fast as she could.That's when my cell phone vibrated and I received a message from a private number."Your girl is worth $500 Billion. She is going to make us rich unlike you."-Yours TrulyI kn
Eric James Winslet's POV"I am tired, Scarlett." I paused. "I am very tired. I have no strength to say anything now. " I said what was on my mind."Don't you think for the last time we should listen to each other?" I asked her. "Don't you trust me enough?" I further added."I trust you. I never stopped. But I don't trust myself. How much I try to act cold, I end up meeting." A lone tear came out from her eye."Then stay here. Don't go." I uttered."If this time I stayed, I will never get tha
Eric James Winslet's POVI was so busy staring at her that I didn't realize Lucas was standing beside me, "We get to know about the insider. " He broke my trance.I instantly looked at him, "who is he?""But before that do what Benjamin suggested to you. Marry Scarlett, otherwise, nobody will save her."He showed me some papers the man Benjamin took hold of at the airport told us, "They are planning a big thing for her in the welcome party that grandma has organized."I was so shocked at the sudden r
Eric James Winslet's POV"Arrange a lawyer." I heard Lucas telling that to Krish."Wait! But Scarlett. I still need to talk to her." I said."We have less time. Make her believe you love her." He said."What if she won't agree then?" I asked curiously."Then find a way. But you are going to marry her today either way!" He finished and moved away."Am I doing right?"
Eric James Winslet's POVI didn't say anything. "I thought I am strong enough to face you or come hereafter whatever happened yesterday.""I didn't mean to hurt you." The words were eloquent and simple. "But you did. More than I have anticipated." She was not wrong. I was going to do the same."You want a reason to stay here?" I asked her. She looked like I said that in some foreign language. That she didn't understand."Marry Me. You want assurance. See! I am giving you one!" I exclaimed.
Eric James Winslet's POVMy hands gripped her waist and I pulled her a little more closely. Her eyes were closed, I stepped back and then I kissed her eyes, taking away her tears."I do not want to see tears in your eyes." And with that, I pulled her in a kiss again.This time she leaned down and kissed me back, her mouth lingering on mine, teeth grazing my lower lip. "Wild cat," I said, my voice breathier than I intended.Listening to that, she turned her face to the other side. "I am not going to talk to you anymore," She crossed her arms."I don't want to talk to you now either," I smirked at the meaning my words were holding at
