[ Scarlett ]“What sort of a question is this, Blaze?” I am on the verge of losing my patience with him upon hearing his offensive question. It indirectly threw dirt on my late mother’s character.“I don’t mean it in that way, Angel, please trust me. I asked you this question because…”He pauses and takes a deep breath, he seems hesitant to speak further.“Then what did you exactly mean?” I ask plainly. I hate when people talk about my mother.“I am saying this because I heard Mathew calling you a bastard and how he wants me to kill you.” He says the last part incoherently.His words stunned me. Mathew wants me dead just for the sake of money and he asked my own husband to end my life. Tears brim in my eyes but he quickly wipe them.“Let’s go from here. I hate myself for ruining our night like this. I should have told you later.” He says with guilt ridden voice.“I am fine, Blaze. I might be a crying mess and threw tantrums if you have said it a month ago but now, I am not that girl a

[ Scarlett ]“I am nervous, Blaze. It has been years since I last saw him and our last meeting wasn’t very good.” I say to Blaze. My uncle texted me in the night to inform me that he’d be here in the early morning. I took a leave from office. He can’t stay here for long. I don’t wasn’t his safety in jeopardy.Blaze rubs my shoulders to ease me, “Relax, Angel. He’s your uncle who loves you and I know that you also miss him. Let him here first.” He says.“Hmm you’re right.” I nod my head and sit quietly.“I did a little dig up on William Sanders, your attorney and I think he’s also one of them. I might be wrong but my sixth sense says that he’d also get something out of your family feud. Maybe he’s doing everything to grease his own palms. “Blaze speaks with seriousness and my curious rises on it’s peak.“What made you believe that he’s also a conspirer? Did you find something odd about him?” I ask.He shakes his head, “Not much, as you know, he’s an expert of the laws and also know the

[ Blaze ]The noise of nocturnes in the stilled night is the only source of distraction for me. The truth I learnt today by Robert Crain and how Scarlett being adamant to go after her father and to seek justice for her best friend and his family. How should I tell her that the friend she had been mourning for, is her own husband. It’s becoming harder and harder for me to hide my real identity from her and keep lying on her face.“What are you still doing here, it’s almost midnight.” Scarlett’s tired voice forces me to tear my gaze from the star-studded sky and exhale the whiff of smoke in the air.“It’s your sixth cigarette in last two hours, Blaze. Stop now and tell me what’s bugging you.’ she places her hand over my shoulder and the guilt deepens.“It’s nothing, Angel. Please go back to the bed. I’ll join you in ten minutes.” I say and about to take another whiff from my cigarette but she snatches it out of my hand.“Enough, Blaze. You have been acting strange. I can’t see you like

[ Scarlett ]We bade bye to my uncle in the morning as he couldn’t stay here for longer. I finally confessed what I feel for him and also got a glimpse of his mysterious heart where I have a place, he didn’t use the direct words but the way he told me how important I am in his life, it spoke a lot.The intercom buzzes snapping me out of my thoughts, I flinch by the sudden disturbance. I touch my neck where he was given me a big mark, the pain is still there reminding me of to whom I belong. He keeps telling me this throughout the night.I pick up the receiver.“Scarlett, come to my cabin.” Mr. Herold’s voice comes from other side.“Coming, boss.” I joke. We’re more like friends than boss and employee. I read him gossips in the tabloids and also help him to refashion himself and his clothing style. I love to spend my time here and I am really going to miss my time here once I take control of Ramirez Corp.I take my phones and make my way towards his cabin waving childishly at his guard

[ Scarlett ]“You’re telling me this now. Mathew invited himself over dinner at our house and he’ll be here in…”I glance at my watch, “IN next fifteen minutes. Have you lost your mind, Blaze? You practically gave him an open pass to strike on us.” I yell on my husband who just informed me that my so called father is coming for dinner.“I am sorry, babes. I really wanted to stop him but I couldn’t and I want him to come here for a reason.” He says.I roll my eyes on his irreverent statement.“I have something to tell you before you hike your blood pressure. It’s not good for your health.” He pleads me calmly but it doesn’t effect me. He just ruined our moment.“I don’t want him here, Blaze. Call him and tell him to stay at his place and lick his wife’s p*ssy. I despise their existence.” My tongue feel bitter.“Please don’t talk about her like this. She isn’t in a good condition. That monster is slowly killing her. She may die.” He says slowly and I snap my face at him.“She’s strugglin
