Scarlett Miller POV
Before we could do anything further. The music started fading. The song was ending. I stepped back and let my hands drop."We will continue this later," I whispered.
I stumbled at my steps, he held my hands. "How many times do I need to say?" He said in a husky voice."What?" I asked him. "That you need to stop drinking when you can't handle it." I smiled at him. "Daniel and Carlos also say the same." I felt tears in my eyes. "I did wrong with them. They deserve a better friend."
"Did you say something?" He asked me. I took a deep breath, the hall was filled with so many people but still I was alone there. But I invited this myself.
"Can I go outside for sometime?" I asked him. "Where do you want to go?" He panicked.
"In the garden," I waited for his reply, but when he didn't say, "I am feeling suffocated here." There was no lie, that's what I was feeling there.
I was so engrossed in my thoughts when I felt a h
Scarlett Miller's POVmoved in their direction, and pushed her away from him. "I didn't forget but I am warning don't you forget that he is my fiance." I pointed my finger towards her."If you don't believe look at this ring." I looked at Eric who was awestruck. "What is happening here?" Grandpa said in an annoying tone."Your would be daughter in law is busy insulting us." Cassandra turned in his direction. He stared at me and then said, "Scarlett, what is she saying?"Before she could say anything else, he showed her his palm. "This man was busy assaulting his wife here. Her daughter had nothing to say to this man while he was doing this." I was about to complete when grandma interupted, "It's their family matter. Can you please Stop Scarlett?"I was awestruck at her coldness, "Are they one of those people who never says anything if they get to see anything like this?" I wonder.That's when grandpa walked in the middle. He didn't say anythin
Eva Stewart's POV"If you think I won't notice Cassandra and Grandma's behavior then you are wrong." I waited for his reply."What do you mean?" His eyes were confused. "You think grandma is fine with our relationship?" I asked him. He didn't take a moment to reply, "Yes! Haven't you seen how she blessed you?" He paused, "How she had given her ring to you?"I was irked by his one-sided observations, "What did Cassandra ask grandma when she entered?"I saw him thinking about that. "Nothing particular I remember." He paused, "But she was constantly saying that grandma did something to her."I smiled at him. "If after seeing her hatred towards me you didn't understand anything then I don't know what will make you understand." I shrugged."You are misinterpreting." He kept his hand on my shoulder. "You are naive or trying to make me a fool?" Those words made him laugh.I kept staring at the blackness of the sky. The jagged masses of h
Scarlett Miller's POVI must have been shaking by then but he put his arm around me so tightly. That I was intact on my place. "Eric I will do everything the way it should be," I said between those hiccups."Not you but for us. We both will undo our mistakes. " He caressed my hair.We were so engrossed in ourselves that I didn't realize for how long my cell phone was ringing."Your phone is ringing." Eric took my attention there. "I will see that later." I was so tired at that moment that I have no power to talk to anyone.We stood there silently, kept looking at the sky. But once again my cell phone started ringing. I made an irritated face."Maybe it's important. You should check it for once." He suggested. I tried to reach my clutch. When I took it out, it was mom."Mom," I showed it to me. For a reason, I was hesitant to talk to her. After knowing everything this was the first time I was going to talk to her.My hands were sh
Scarlett Miller's POV"I can't lose you." I sobbed loudly. "Nothing will happen. Trust me." With that, he stood up. He was looking at me. But just then I looked at something behind him and shouted Eric.He kept a hand tightly on my mouth. "Sh!!!" There was darkness all over. I hugged him tightly.He was about to stand up but I stopped him. I moved my head violently. "Don't go." I kept chanting those words.Just then he kept his hand on my chin, "Nothing is going to happen."In a few minutes, the security all over gathered. "Sir." I heard Lucas coming in that direction. "Calm down! It's Lucas." He said.He held my arms, supporting me while I stood up sideways. "Its Xavier's men." I heard him saying that."Where the hell was the whole security?" He ran his hands in his hair. "Everything was checked. But a insider helped them to come inside. Otherwise there wasn't a way to enter this space. ""Tomorrow's morning I want the complet
Scarlett Miller's POVI took all of my anguish and chose to forgive him. This time I did this for myself. I choose me."Dad, can you come here with mom?" I asked."My daughter needs me. Do you think I will not come?" He asked."I am waiting," I said between the hiccups. That's when the wind started moving violently. It was blowing and it made trees rustle. While seeing the atmosphere, I knew it will start raining again anytime soon."I will be there as soon as I can." The words came out from the other side of the phone."Mr. Anderson, right now she is emotional," Eric looked at me. "But she will be alright soon. You don't need to come." He completed.I was astonished by the fact of how conveniently he was deciding things on my behalf."No, dad. I want you and mom beside me." I almost yelled. "I will eat only when both of you will be here," I added."Are you mad?" Eric said in an annoying tone."I promised you,
"Aaahh!!" I could not help but exclaim softly. I was in so much pain that tears rolled down my face and I almost swore out loud."Scarlett, This is Eric. I am not afraid of anyone. " He bent down near my ear."Of course, you aren't afraid," I paused. "Why would you?" Like all the other times his proximity wasn't terrifying me.But something was there at that moment. That told me this wasn't the same Eric that I know all these times. Although this thing knocked my head many times.Everything that happened is for good. I was running away from my own family. I was trying to find love, care, trust, and protection where it's not even possible.When I saw he wasn't leaving me, I wiggled in his hold. I tried to free myself from him. "You know we aren't right for each other," I said something that if someone would have said I will say any such thing. I would have laughed at them."We always knew that." He said and loosen his hold on me.
Scarlett Miller's POV"You know sometimes I think." I was hesitant, "The only thing that stops you from getting away from me is..." I looked everywhere but at him."Is?" He said in a husking tone."Is lust. I may feel for you. But as you made it clear you don't feel for me. Then this only means lust." I signaled him towards his hands."Lust? Seriously Scarlett?" He looked at me with accusing eyes."I said what I felt," I tried to sound as calm as I could."Fantastic," He rubbed his chin and looked at me."I didn't say anything wrong. Did I?" I asked."Enough!" In one moment, I collided against his chest as he took hold of my arms and pulled ne against him angrily."Stop this. Stop this nonsense. Do you understand?" He tightened his hold as he yelled angrily."Or what?" I retorted. I knew I was triggering him."Don't disregard our relationship. " He sneered as he shoved me towards the entrance."Relat
Scarlett Miller's POVWhen she didn't reply, I gestured to her that I will still speak. "But this man, your grandson wanted me. Let me correct myself wanted to get the shares of my dad's company. Contract marriage, you know?""Contract marriage?" She prompted.Steady and loud footsteps came in my direction. I knew who the person can be. But trust me, I bother less."Scarlett, What are you saying?" Grandpa was the first one to come out of this shock."Grandpa let me...," Eric tried to intervene but he cut him off in between. "No! Let me talk to her." He didn't look in his direction but moved towards me.Apparently, I didn't want him to know about everything like this. But they didn't have left any choice for me."Is it true?" He waited for me to speak. I looked at Eric who was throwing daggers and his eyes were warning me about all the consequences."What?" I tried to act innocent. Although, I was well aware that it isn't possible
