Caspian scoffs and eyes him " property! You must be joking "
She looks at the two men worried, the tension between them can choke someone " err pls calm down "
" Miss blackwood is an employee in my company so she is my property " Liam said ignoring Scarlett and tightens his grip on her
Caspian folds his fist in anger , this bastard was literally competing with him in everything and it's annoying
" Really or is it something deeper *grins* don't forget you've a fiancee "
Scarlett bites her lips ,she forgot for a second that he was engaged to someone else .
" There is nothing going on between -- " she starts to say but Liam interrupts her
" It's none of your business Caspian, I believe you've a company to run "
They leave
" You've gotten more arrogant bastard " Caspian mutters glaring at his retreating figure
Outside... Liam forces Scarlett into the car , the anger is visible on his face . Rylan quietly slipped into the seat not wanting any trouble even the driver noticed the tension and zoomed off asap
Scarlett squeezes the ends of her skirt avoiding Liam's piercing gaze on her .
" So you're now after my rivals now uh "
She looks at him surprised " I never knew you guys had beef with each other and besides I met him only once "
Liam scoffs " I don't care of you've met him more than once the thing is that , he's only after my downfall and using you as a bait to get what he wants is what he will do, stay away from him "
" But he looks like nice person " she mutters looking down
He grabs her chin up roughly " I still don't care your opinion about him but if anything happens to my company because of your involvement with him *chuckles dryly* I'll make sure you crawl back into the hole you came out from "
Scarlett shrinks further in her seat , the tone is his voice was so cold and she knew that he meant every word
CALGARY, ALBERTA.
STANFORD SCHOOLS
Aiden sat alone on the school swing in the playground, he started at his mates playing happily with others .
This wasn't a new thing to him anymore, they avoided him because some children were spreading nasty rumours about him having bad luck that killed his dad .
He sighs kicking his leg in the sand wishing for time to go bye quickly so he can go home and find comfort I'm his grandma's arms .
Three boys walks up to him , they're his age mates but from the look on their faces they're not here to play
Matt smirks and goes closer to Aiden " hello fatherless child "
The rest giggles
Aiden keeps quiet watching them laugh at him
" How does it feels like to have no dad , is he really dead or he left you and your mom "matt adds laughing
" Yeah how are you coping uh don't you feel sorry for yourself" another kid said smirking
Aiden frowns not liking not liking the way they teased him , he jumped down from the swing running away .
REYNOLDS MANSION
Stephen sat in his study reading his favourite book , he retired from the company years ago and Liam has been handling it well .
His wife 'Evelyn' walks in carrying a cup of tea
" Here " she said giving it to him " you need this "
He smiles taking it , she never cease to amaze him he really needed this tea right now " thank you dear "
" You're welcome" she said smiling and seats next to him
" So when last did you speak with Liam "
Stephen leans back on this chair " this morning, is there any problem"
She sighs " not really, I was just wondering when he will finally have a wedding"
" It's okay love , I'm sure he's busy just exercise patience "
She smiles wearily " I've been doing that for two years now and I'm tired especially now that that Scarlett of a girl is around "
Stephen sighs " I feel a lot will happen soon "
" Yeah , I'm happy Liam did not tell her about our gene unless ... *Sighs* it was very hard for me to get pregnant with Liam because of my recessive gene damn your gene is so strong " she said
He sips his tea " I don't even know if I should be proud or not "
" There is nothing to be proud about " she said rolling her eyes
" Anyway I hope Camilla won't be like that Scarlett when she learns the truth or before then "
Stephen sighs dropping his book back into the drawer , he never hated Scarlett like his wife did but he did not like her too .... He wanted someone in their class for his son so she was not suitable in his eyes
" Let's just hope so , we can do nothing but watch everything unfold remember this is our son's life so let him handle it his way "
Evelyn bites her lips holding back a sigh " you're right "
SCARLETT APARTMENT
She smiled putting the cookies I'm the oven , today is Saturday and crystal is coming over for a sleepover.
" I better bake enough cookies, crystal is one big glutton " she thought adding more to the oven
The door bell rings and she goes to answer it
" Awwn scarl " crystal screamed immediately she opened the door and jumps on her
She smiles hugging her back " welcome to my humble abode "
Crystal slumps on the couch looking around " gurl this place is lovely"
" Thank you " she seats next to her " so how has work been for you "
" Very boring without you scarl , manager just keeps giving me numerous insight files to fill" crystal said smiling
" What of you , working right next go to the CEO , even his PA office is not inside his own "
Scarlett sighs " it's not easy at all , he is very intimidating and it is hard to to do something right with him around"
" I feel for you, I heard you went to the business summit with him, girl that was hot *claps in glee* you need to see indigo's reaction when you entered the CEO's car " crystal said smiling
She looks at her surprised " ohhh *chuckles* I can imagine it already, lemme dish out our food , give me a sec "
Crystal leans back on the couch sighing
She hears Scarlett phone ringing from the table
" Uh who is my oxygen??"
" Damn, it is even a video call , I need to see how this person is " she said smiling mischievously and picks it up
Aiden's cute face come in view , he stares at the stranger confused
Crystal almost died from shock as she saw the identical younger version of her boss
" Ahhhhhhhhhh "
She screamed loudly startling poor Aiden who started crying
Scarlett runs inside confused, she takes the phone from shocked crystal and pets Aiden
Scarlett: it's okay my love stop crying baby
Aiden : *sniffs* why did she scream mommy is everything okay
Scarlett: *glares at crystal* don't mind her my love , that is how she behaves
Crystal drags her numb body up and joins the video call
Crystal: I'm so sorry dear , you were cute that's why I screamed ... It was too much for me to handle
Aiden : *grins* you're funny aunty
Scarlett: *smiles* baby remember to be a good boy okay, once your school is on holiday, I'll bring you here
Aiden *smiles happily* yes mom I love you so much....
Scarlett: *blows him a kiss* I love you too baby
They end the call
" I'm listening" crystal said sitting down
Scarlett sighs and seats next to her " it's a long story "
" I'm all ears "
FLASHBACK
Scarlett smiles and hugs Liam who was seating on the couch I'm their family mansion
Her heart was beating fast , she has been noticing some pregnancy signs lately and she went to confirm today.... It was positive
Liam smiles and pecks her fore head " my love , you're looking pale , are you alright "
She takes a deep breath " baby I'm pregnant"
He frowns not understanding what she has just said " repeat what you just said"
" I'm pregnant love " she said smiling
" What the fuck" he mutters pushing her away " you gat to be kidding me "
Scarlett looks at him confused, the hurt look on his face was puzzling " what do you mean, I'm pregnant bae , remember we never used protection"
" I know that shit of course but you can't be pregnant, it's impossible" he said almost yelling
She stands up panicking" what do you mean I can't be pregnant bae , I'm not barren "
Liam glares at her looking betrayed " how can you do this to me , I trusted you ... Pinning another man's child on me is hideous " .
She gasps " what , I'll never ever do that , the baby is yours Liam , you're the first person I've slept with "
" I don't think that's true anymore " he said shaking his head
" What's happening " Evelyn said coming downstairs
Liam ruffles his hair " mom she said she's pregnant"
Evelyn face goes white in shock " are you now a gold digger Scarlett"
" No no " Scarlett said now crying " I love Liam and I'll never do that "
" Wh0re ! " Evelyn yells grabbing her by her hair and hitting her hard on yhe face
Scarlett almost passed out from the hit , she crawls to Liam but he steps back looking hurt
" Pls believe me , I'll never cheat on you "
Evelyn drags her by the hand leading her to the mansion entrance " then why are you pregnant" .
" I'm pregnant because your son and I made love " Scarlett yells trying to release herself
Evelyn slaps her again " you're the most shameless person I've ever met "
" Liam pls help me " she said gasping for breath
He looks at her coldy and goes upstairs
Evelyn drags Scarlett outside not minding the heavy downpour
" Go back to the gutter where you belong " she yells and pushes her away before slamming the door in her face
Scarlett knocks on the door crying bitterly, the rain is so heavy and cold , you can't even see anything.
There she was... Outside under the rain all alone with a baby in her stomach
END OF FLASHBACK
Crystal mouth was wide open as Scarlett told her everything
" Oh my gosh , why will they react that way to your pregnancy"
She sighs " I've no Idea , I don't want to know anymore, Liam is dead to both of us and we're doing fine without him and I don't him to ever find out "
" I support you baby, my lips are forever sealed " crystal said hugging her
Scarlett smiles hugging her back "thank you "
LIAM VILLA
Camilla enters inside frowning, she knows the passcode of course...
She throws her bag on the couch and heads upstairs to his room.
Liam looks up in surprised as he sees her barge into his room , he was just coming out from the toilet wearing nothing but his bath robe
" Milla what are you doing here "
She scoffs rolling her eyes " now I can't come to your villa anymore, is that how your ex girlfriend Scarlett has bewitched you "
" How did you know about her " he asks confused
Camilla smirks " thanks to your mother, this news trending online did not catch me off guard "
Shoves her phone to him
NEWS HEADLINES
Liam Reynolds turned things around with his hot looking assistant who put everyone in shock with her awesome speech.......
Liam sighs " Milla there's nothing bad there ".
" Of course there is " she snaps " this is how everything starts, tell me why you will allow your ex to work in your company uh "
He groans feeling a headache coming soon " there is nothing happening between us stop making it sound serious"
Camilla looks at him hurt " really, tell me why you suddenly made her your personal finance employee uh don't you know old feelings never die "
" Oh they actually die in occasions like this Milla , stop overeating" he said looking at her frustrated
She scoffs " oh really prove it go me then "
He drags her close to him and pins her mouth in a deep kiss
Camilla stiffens in shock but she recovers quickly and kisses him back ... He parts her mouth taking his tongue deeper and the kiss got more intense.
Liam carries her up as she wraps her legs round him not even breaking the kiss.
" Is this enough proof " he said after breaking the kiss
Camilla looks at him short of breath , her lips were red and swollen,and her cheeks were flushed "Yes "
She hugs him tightly, this man has stolen her heart and losing him will cause her to do something unimaginable.
CASPIAN PENTHOUSE
He starred at the lighted city sipping his wine , his mind was still on what happened yesterday.
" Plane girl , I'm still coming for you " he mutters smiling stupidly
Caspian yawns tiredly and seats on the couch in the balcony, he has been working since and even forgot to eat his dinner... All these efforts just to become number one and shove Liam out of the way .
" Hmm I'm sure that brat is already engaged so why was he so possessive with his employee " he mutters twirling his drink, his eyes dancing with mischief
He smirks " oh don't tell me ... He likes her too *laughs* plane girl you're going to be very useful to me but I need more information on you *sighs* that's if my dumb cousin will agree "
Caspian picks up his phone and dails a number he hasn't called in years , after four rings he picks up
" Hello cousin, I thought you will never pick up" he said smirking
Rylan frowns and his hands gripped the phone tightly
Caspian: I really missed you cousin
Rylan : I'm not your cousin *coldly*
Caspian: c'mon blood is thicker than water, I can't believe you vhoy y enemy over me
Rylan : he is my best friend
Caspian * chuckles* let's see if he will still remain your friend if he finds out that we're related , you want me to keep my mouth shut... Give me all the information you have about Scarlett *grins*
Rylan folds his fist in anger wishing you appear in front and punch the hell out of him ....
