Eric James Winslet's POV
My 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
Chapter-87Scarlett Miller's POV"This was the last time you did something like this." His voice was dark, icy, and cold."You know what," He was looking at me, "I need you to marry me and you would.""What if I say No?" I said."You have no choice." I looked up at Zachary, "Give her the annexure." That man was somewhere looking sensible. He didn't look in my eyes.That means he knew how wrong Eric was at that moment. He came and gave me some more papers."Read them carefully." Eric went and sat back to his chair. He was sipp
Eva Stewart's POV"Never dare to disrespect me or my family." I was trying to catch my breath. When he further added, "Ever Again."There were tears in my eyes, "Never kiss me again." He moved towards me and touched my collarbone, "Do you still think I need your permission?""Of course you need." I snorted. "A suggestion for you " He looked up at me. "What?""Learn to respect me and my choices. Unless." I caressed his shirt. "You will regret every moment.""I have a suggestion." He paused. "Nah! It's not a suggestion but a warning for you.""You have thee the audacity to warn me?" I laughed. "Go ahead. All ears to you."We were standing there looking at each other but I had no emotions left. It was an amusement and sheer sadness to see this man stooping so slow."Never disrespect me or my family ag
Eva Stewart's POVWhere do I need to sign?" I asked him. He showed me the place, "That's how I signed myself to this man to whom I once loved. ""You will regret every moment to force me into this. I will make your life hell, I promise you, Mr. Eric James Winslet." I promised him."Challenge accepted." He smiled at me. I stood up and was about to move out. When he pulled me back, "You are forgetting something." I looked up at him with utmost displeasure."What?" I turned back. "We haven't sealed the deal yet.""What deal?" I said. He looked up, then finally his green eyes rested on me. He took a step ahead resulting me to step back as well. With few steps I reached to the point where I rested my back on the wall."You still don't know," He asked me. I turned my face to the other side. He put his hands on my shoulder turning me back to face him. He tilted his face to touch my lips but I mo
Scarlett Miller's POV I was roaming in the room. It was eleventh time I was trying to reach mom. But no response. "Is she alright?" I took a deep breath. "Should I call Carlos?" I thought. Maybe she have some news. I instantly dialled her number. "Pick up! Pick up." I kept saying impatiently. That's when somebody spoke from the other side. "Hello Carlos," I instantly took her name. "Before you start I should tell you Carlos is with her dad." A female voice interupted. "You are?" I asked her. "You didn't recognise me? That's sad." She said in a slow tone. "Aunty!!!!" I took her name with full force. "Don't talk to me." She said to me. I knew she was faking anger. I didn't have much strength to fake anymore. I was silent. "What happened Scarlett?" She asked me. "Nothing," I gave a fake smile. "You know that either it's you or Carlos. You can't hide things from me." Apart from mom, s
Scarlett Miller's POV"I don't think you are going to support me in this. Still asking you to trust me this time. Whatever I am doing its for mom's betterment." I said."What are you going to do Scarlett?" She asked me. "I am marrying Eric in two days.""What?" She was shocked by this newfound revelation. "I didn't hear it. Repeat yourself." She demanded."You heard it. But then again for you I am repeating, I am marrying him in next two days." I completed. I heard her gasping but before she could have said anything there was a knock on my door."Who is it?" I kept a hand on my cell phone and asked. "It's me. Feriha." A soft voice came back.I smiled. "Okay! Carlos. I will call you back soon." She tried to stop me but this was not the right time to discuss things. Infact this was not the time to have second thoughts about the things I have already planned.W
Scarlett Miller's POV"I want you to give back my mom's company before the engagement." I said and he ran his hands in my hair. I moved my head in anticipation and he rested his hand on my neck."Everything will be done but with my plan." He bent down against my ear.I stepped back, jerking him away. "It will be not always about you. It should be fifty-fifty percent." I looked into his eyes."Pardon me," he gave me a confused look. "Who knows whether you will fulfill your part of obligations or not?""I am man of my words." His pitch was little high this time. "Words don't matter but actions. " I moved a little forward and kept my hands on his collar.I bent my face towards his ears. "And when it comes to you, what makes you think?" I paused. "That I will believe you. No honey! Not possible.""I can understand that." He kept his hand on my cheeks. "How about
Scarlett Miller's POVI was conflicting with my thoughts. That's when a cell phone was started ringing. I saw the name that was on the display. Mom."Mom?" I said in a questioning tone. What should I do?I will talk to you once this will be over. Hopefully, with a good news. Don't worry mom, I won't let anything happen to you."Scarlett?" I heard my name from the other side. "Yes, Feriha?" I said in a questioning tone."Do you need any help?" I smiled at her. "No! Give me sometime. I will be ready!" She gave a satisfactory look after listening to me, "Hopefully everything goes well. And please don't be late." And she moved away.Intially I thought to confront Eric and get back the dress which grandma's had sent me. But then my hands reached towards the note once again. "I will make up with grandma for this."I grabbed the hanger and ducked into the changing room t
Scarlett Miller's POVI looked at him keenly, "This engagement is surprise element of this party. That means nobody knows about this yet. Not even grandma. If she will react, don't counteract at that time.""You didn't even tell her?" I asked him. "Don't worry. I will take care of everything." We were passing the rooms and making our way towards the staircase.When we were standing at the top stair. I saw the hall was massively decorated. There were many people present there. Obviously, they seemed like high elite families.At the end of the stairs, I saw an elderly in a floral green gown with cap sleeves. Her hair were cleanly done in a bun. She was looking very familiar, I moved a little aside to recognize her perfectly."Grandma," I was surprised at looking at her. She was looking very different from earlier. Different in a good way. There was not even a single familar face except grandpa, grandma, Feriha and Bella there.
