SCARLETT“You should-” The cold man tries to speak but I cut him off.“Before you say anything, please…..I really need your help. I know your car is not a rescue vehicle. It is one of four Rolls Royce Droptail to ever be made, each fully customized to the owner’s preference, so I know you’re a very rich and influential man but a rapist is after me and throwing me out would be the same as murder! Please!”He narrows his eyes at me dangerously, but his lips seal, as if shocked.I’m not sure if it’s my plea, or my knowledge on luxury cars. It’s one of the expensive hobbies dad spoiled me into, and it just slipped out.“Your jacket Dean,” The man says to his driver in that low commanding tone of his.“Sir?” Dean asks, but he only earns himself a nasty glare from his boss in response.I look between them, wondering what’s going on as I wipe my teary face with the back of my hands.Dean quickly takes off his jacket and hands it to the man, who throws it over my thigh with his icy black orbs
TREVORIt’s been over four days since the incident and Scarly had been avoiding me, I was slowly beginning to lose my mind. Thank goodness she’s asked to see me today. I guess I wasn’t the only one losing my mind. I know what I did scared her but damn, I was just so close to finally getting her and when I knew she was in the mood, I didn’t want that chance to slip away but it fucking did anyway.If only I had made it a done deal, then she would be mine! I knew she was scared of having sex for the first time but I could also see the desire for me in her eyes. If she hadn’t become violent and attacked me, I’m certain by my third or fourth thrust into her, her arms would have been all around me, begging for more.She’s not even shown up to school since and I have this crazy test that I need her help with. My folks think I’m back in school and studious at their reprimand, but the truth is, I only do it for Scarly.She helps me with assignments, tests and shit. One time, she even disguise
SCARLETTThere. I said it. I’m done.I’ve had the last four days to think about the past three years. I love Trevor, I really do, but if I’ve learnt anything from recent events, it’s that love isn’t enough to keep a relationship healthy, especially when it’s one-sided.Spending the last four days in my family’s old hunting cabin, the only property the creditors didn’t seize, I’ve had time to reflect on our time together.Trevor went from adoring me to almost tolerating me, he went from doting on me to just checking on me. When I would complain about the sudden change in his attitude towards me, he’d say I was overreacting and I always believed him.I know I can be attention seeking and a bit of a drama queen sometimes, but I never ask for what I don’t give.He started spending more time with Ashley and her clique and out of nowhere, he introduced her as his best friend. Ashley’s enmity with me is public knowledge, everyone knows how much we hate each other.I don’t hate her, I just ca
SCARLETTWhat? Can he really do that?No……he’s just saying anything to get me not to leave him. There’s no way Trevor would have been able to help dad all these while and he didn’t.“Look, I know you don’t want me to leave you but I can’t keep doing this,” I reply, freely letting tears pour out of my eyes. I thought I was big enough to forgive cheating. I don’t know if it’s worth it anymore.“But this is not how I want to be loved and lying that you can help dad so I stay, that just goes to prove you don’t really care how I feel.”He holds both my hands, forcing me to look into his eyes. I can see the regret and sadness in them, and it makes it so hard to fight the urge of hugging him, of melting in his arms and just forgiving all that has happened. But I can’t. I tried, and I failed miserably. I remember Ashley’s text from yesterday and my resolve only strengthens.BEFORE……NOW……FOREVER.No, I can’t do it.“I’m not lying…...I can help him. My family has ties with one of the creditor
SCARLETTI stare at my reflection in the reflective windows inside the private waiting room the CEO’s secretary took me to when I got to the building.I have almost forgotten this feeling. The feeling of being someone important in society, treated with respect and courtesy.I’m wearing a knee length black pencil skirt with a small slit at the back and a pink shirt which is tucked into it, with a pair of black 4 inch heels. I had opted for no makeup but Lexi disagreed, so she beat my face with some light foundation and highlighters. I always prefer my natural look but Lexi knows how to work her magic to enhance it without doing too much.My black hair is rolled into a bun with several fancy pins at the base. Blue doe eyes staring back at me as I nervously twirl the content of the champagne glass I am holding.My heart continues to thud uncontrollably and I can feel my palms becoming sweaty, my small nude painted matte lips quivering slightly.I’m betting on him giving me a pass when h
SCARLETTI left Mr. Icy glares office feeling clueless.I didn’t take on rescuing dad as such a complicated mission. I thought I studied business and that’s enough, but now I see, Dad has sheltered me from most of the dark reality of the business world.But what do I do now? Go to Trevor? Or just let the lawyers do what they can? They aren’t really giving us any hope, just the good old ‘we are doing our best.’I’m just so tired. Why does it feel like life is picking on me?The smell of the perfume that lingers on the hallway as I walk towards our apartment door makes me frown. It’s Mom. Can today get any worse?“I’ve been calling your phone young lady,” Mom says with a frown on her face as soon as I step into the living room.“Hi Lexi,” I reply, ignoring her and heading straight for the bedroom. If she thinks she can disappear and reappear into our lives at her own convenience and expect me to welcome her back with open arms, she has another thing coming.I let out a small hiss, tryin
TREVOR“I got this awesome business idea guys. I think it’s going to work out this time,” I say to my little group of friends in the school cafeteria. Kenyon, Bradley and Asher. The only person missing from here is Scarlett. I miss her. I just wish there was an easy way to fix things but she’s just too damn stubborn. She’s even blocked me everywhere.I was hoping she’d call to ask if I would help her dad but she didn’t. I even heard she went to our company to try to get help. She’s so fucking stubborn.“Is it another crypto start up?” Bradley asks mockingly. “Wasn’t 500 million wasted in a year over that one?”“Or the crowdfunding idea,” Kenyon chuckles. “Let this whole business thing go, Man. We’re trust fund kids who don’t have to work. Give it a rest.”“I know what Scarly would say if she was here,” Asher adds. “Leave my baby alone, failures are a part of success in life. He’s a great businessman, he’s just in his budding stage.”“Yeah, she really gases him up,” Kenyon replies.Th
SCARLETTI am not giving up, not until I am sure I have done everything humanly possible to try and save my papa bear. We went to visit him yesterday and the only thing my shameless mother could ask from him was if he had an account somewhere the creditors had no idea of.Apparently, the reason she returned is because she is broke, having exhausted the last penny of Dad’s foreign accounts. And since the source of income has frozen up, she has no money to support her expensive lifestyle in Paris.Mom is the last thing I have to bother about right now. I am currently headed to club Rehab to see Uncle Ethan, one of dad’s accounting consultants. Going through a list of dad’s business associates and checking his personal emails for any sort of useful information that could help me get a better understanding of the situation, I found he exchanged a lot of emails with Uncle Ethan and most of them had to do with money.I had been trying for days to book an appointment with him at his office
