Eve threw herself on the sofa and took her cellphone out, hoping to text her friends and warn them that she might be in some kind of danger. After that, she turned to play Candy Crush on her phone. Thank god there was an open wifi network at his house– Eve felt so uncomfortable and nervous being around Damon all alone. Right then, Damon went to the bathroom to take a shower. As Eve heard him open up the door of the bathroom, Eve rushed to the front door. She was surprised to see that there was a coded lock on the inside– there was no way that she would be able to open this and get out. Her escape plan hadn’t been well thought out at all.Eve felt disappointed. Her world felt like it was closing in, sending her to her knees. Meanwhile, from the secret control monitor in the bathroom, Damon was watching her every move. He grew angry to see

Then, she noticed how messy her hair was as she looked at herself in the mirror.“Oh my god, what have I done?” She yelled out.Francis pinched her cheeks lightly and said, “You’re such a lazy girl, aren’t you? Didn’t you go to bed at, like, nine last night? Didn’t you get enough sleep? How come you’re not able to get up this morning?”  “Well, I did go to bed at nine, but I was on my phone till really late….” She murmured, squeezing toothpaste onto her brush slowly.Last night, on account of another one of his conference calls, Francis had only gotten back home past 2 am. So, he didn't know what Scarlett had been up to in the earlier hours of the night.

Since it was November, the heat had been turned up by maintenance, and it was nice and toasty indoors– Scarlett was comfortable roaming around in just a t-shirt. At the same time, Scarlett was reading a novel sprawled on Bell’s bed while everyone else was busy playing Monopoly.“Scarlett, don’t you want to join us? This game of Monopoly is getting superheated!” Sarah said, marveling at the properties she had been able to amass in the first quarter of the game.Scarlett heard that and looked up, but Bell chimed in before Scarlett could say anything, “Sarah, you’ve already stolen every single property from us! Now you want to steal more from Scarlett, too, don’t you?” Bell chuckled.“Fine, I’ll try to stop absolutely crushing you guys at this game. Anyw

Francis just smiled and said, “Babe, think about it, if I don’t help them this time, we will be their first suspects when something goes wrong with their business in the future. Don’t you think so?”“Are you going to help me take revenge on them?” Her eyes lit up with excitement.“Do you really want that? Well, since you are so excited about that, I’ll think about it.” He said as he looked at her.And then Scarlett had her arm around his waist. She looked up and said, “So you are pretending to help them, and you will stab them in the back, right? You are going to help me take revenge on them, right?”Francis touched her hair gently and asked seriously, “Babe, do you really want to take revenge on the

Staring at Scarlett’s back outside the window, Claire bit her lips slightly and thought to herself: if Francis didn’t really love Scarlett, she might still have a chance to win his love. If she didn’t fight for it and missed her chance, she would end up depressed. She would have to watch her beloved spend the rest of his life unhappily. She couldn’t allow that to happen. After all, for her, Francis was no less than a god. Scarlett was just a daughter of a failure, how could she be worthy of her god?Scarlett knew Claire was very ignorant, but she never expected her to be that ignorant. Carrying a little plastic bag with drinks, Scarlett walked back to the classroom down the chilly campus path, cursing the cold weather under her breath.In the afternoon
