Scarlett's POV: Dead! I gasped with my hand covering my mouth. My ears widened as if they were set on fire by the unexpected news that just left Sonia's mouth. My tears continued to roll down and I sat there in a cloud of shock. I couldn't even say a word. Sonia still had the phone placed on her ear. Her face was flushed from her crying and tears. This was tragic! I cannot believe it. Sam was dead? But how? When? Where? Why? And if it was true that he was dead then what could possibly be the reason behind his death or maybe there was a mix up somewhere. Maybe he wasn't dead, it could just be a random guy who was found dead and he happened to bear the same name as Sam and then coincidentally Sonia's number happened to be the same as his relative. Damn! What was I even saying, it doesn't even make any sense. Dead or not we needed to see for ourselves." Okay, I'll be there," Sonia said and hung up. I stared at her and saw the pain in her eyes, those eyes of hers reflected pain, nothing
Scarlett's POV: The boss didn't stop me when I walked out of the room... Out on him... He didn't even make a second attempt to do so and I know he was pissed off but like I said earlier, I didn't care.And as for my dream, I seriously think it has nothing to do with this. It could just be a mere coincidence, yes! Coincidence do happen.I walked out of the resort with Jones moseying behind me. He offered to drive me to the police station, a station I didn't even know where. I sighed and hopped into his car then fixed my seat belt while he did the same and soon the ride started. I wanted to make a call to ask for the address of the station but I realized that I hadn't brought my phone along with me. " Urgh!" I cursed under my breath. Jones didn't seem to realize. He was driving away as if he knew where he was heading. I wanted to ask him for his phone so that I could make the call but then..." Where is this station anyway?" He posed and I exhaled sharply, relieved that he spoke." Jus
Scarlett's POV:We got to the inspector's office where I saw Sonia sitting across from the inspector. The inspector looked up at us the moment we walked in and so did Sonia. I saw how bloody her eyes were, even the make up she had on her face had been messed by her tears. The inspector saw us and sheepishly smiled before gesturing to any of us to sit down on the seat across from him which was next to Sonia, well I did the honor by taking the seat. He stared at me and his smile increased." Can I please see the body?" I requested but my request was declined by the inspector who negatively shook his head before leaning forward to me." His body was taken away a long time ago, it's at the morgue," he replied. His voice sounded like an alto-like voice, deep yet calm. I nod my head at his response. So that literally meant that Sonia had followed them to the morgue which was probably at the hospital." Well then, I need to know if this is authentic or not, I need verification, enough proof t
Scarlett's POV:Jones and I strode towards the resort, astonished with the look of things. The buses that had brought us all to the resort were here and some employees were seen packing up some equipment that had been used for the shooting. Some employees were even seated in the bus with their small luggage with them. I stretched forward to check if Sonia and the rest were in any of the buses but I found none of them, I sighed in relief.As we walked inside the resort, I was able to perceive the scent of Jones' cologne beneath my nose as I sniffed. It was the fragrance smell that made me want to hug him the more just so I would be able to get the opportunity to perceive him again. His scent was unique and rare, a good one, so pleasant in the nose. I liked it and I couldn't help but sniff the fragrance into my body. It smelled really nice. We were about to get to my room and before a minute's click, we were standing at the doorway. I then grabbed hold of the door handle but hesitate. M
Scarlett's POV: I unconsciously dropped the picture on the floor then turned to the boss of whom I had no idea when he got in. I nervously held the hem of my dress while his eyes were focused on the crashed frame on the floor. I exhaled sharply trying to stop myself from trembling visibly. He didn't say anything instead he stepped in and closed the door behind him. His eyes were still on the picture." Where did you take the picture? Did you go through my things?" I shook my head negatively and surprisingly he gave me a light nod as his reply, he then walked towards it, closed to where I stood and then he picked up the frame. I gulped hard the moment I realized the mess I caused. The cracking was worse than it was before. I honestly didn't know what to do at this moment." Stupid bitches,"He trudged past me going to sit on the bed. His eyes still glued to the frame. As I internally panicked while I silently watched him.For a moment, I thought he was probably trying to sympathize wit
Scarlett's POV: " Oh my God! you really don't know?" I asked, amazed by the ridiculous remark my boss had made before now. Focusing on the road, he shrugged his shoulders with a tiny smile that refused to reach his eyes." Sam was like a family to the company and the employees, tell me you don't mean it when you said you barely know his family, they had shown up the last time we went to the resort, "" That doesn't mean I'm supposed to rub my face at theirs every second simply because they're Sam's family," He argued with slight annoyance, which I was able to identify." Literally... It's bad! I mean... How can you not know?"" Okay Scarlett! You're making this seem like a crime which obviously isn't. What's your big deal with him anyway," he scoffed.Okay! This was weird. I knew I hadn't been a hundred percent sure he would tell me why he barely knew things about Sam but that statement which slipped out of his lips was something I didn't expect either. It was as if Sam's death didn't
Scarlett's POV: Minutes turned into hours and the day turned into night, a cold night with Sonia sound asleep. Zelda and I had tried to get her to sleep even though it was quite difficult doing so. I couldn't watch her tears up and hurt herself, the burden on her was just too much, and somehow I was able to feel what she was passing through and I could tell how hard it was.Zelda returned into the room with Mike behind her. He had a tray set up with meals for Sonia who looked like someone who wasn't ready to wake up yet, I didn't blame her for it, she was beyond stressed and a good rest was something she really needed. Mike walked up to the bed and placed the tray of meals down. He took his seat on the bed and stared into her pale face. I could see the obvious sympathy in his eyes and I could tell how curious he was." What did she say?" He asked, staring at me." A lot," I responded with a crestfallen face." Did she say anything about Sam?"" Of course she did, he's the reason why
Scarlett's POV: I reached out to the window before pinning it close and moving the curtains sideways. The night was really going to be a long but cold night for everyone. The weather had changed from its cold temperature to a higher level of coldness that I was unable to comprehend.I was currently slumping in my baggy pajamas with a cool white cardigan that helped to absorb the sudden cold. Apparently, I was still in the same room as the boss Martinez. His suit to He precise. He didn't let me go back to my room saying he wanted to spend a night with me, which I suspected and wondered, I mean... Why would he? After all he didn't like me, but whatever the reason may be, I think he was only doing this to increase the rate of my punishment." You should eat your food before it gets cold," he said pulling his shirt over his head, revealing his well built physique along with his incredible tattoos which I was unable to describe, right now, words cannot express how it looked, he was just...
