   Rylan frowns trying to hold his anger " nothing will make me give you information about Liam's employee, I don't know what you're up to Caspian but just know it won't work " 

   

  " Don't try me cousin "

   He scoffs " go ahead and tell Liam about us if you have the liver , you're just looking for ways to get what you want but unfortunately you won't get it from me " 

  He hangs up 

      Caspian hand shakes slightly in anger , he throws his phone to the wall angrily..

      " That bloody cousin of mine " 

R.E ENTERPRISE 

        Crystal leaned lazily on her desk , she is Certainly going to die of boredom   . 

      " Crystal are you kidding me , Monday mornings are not time to sleep around"  Thomas scolds dropping a stack of files of her table 

   She pouts her lips " aww manager! I'm exhausted last weekend wasn't easy on me " 

      

     " And today won't be any different, be useful and give this file to Mr kaide for me " 

    Crystal seats up , her heart beating faster at the mention of Rylan .

   " No prob manager I'll do it immediately " 

   She grabs the files and runs out before he changes his mind 

      Thomas stared at her retreating figure puzzled   " hmmm how strange " 

   

RYLAN OFFICE 

     He stared absentmindedly his computer thinking about what Caspian said . 

    He might be using it to threaten him but it's the truth Liam will be shocked if he tells him that his greatest rival his cousin.

    The door opens and crystal slips inside quietly, her face was already red and she avoided his gaze shyly.

    " Oh it's miss stripper" he mutters smirking , his eyes scans her office outfit , it was decent but enough to draw men's eyes it her body . 

    She frowns " my name is crystal not miss stripper"  

  

  She walks slowly to his desk and drops the files on it 

  " Manager of my department asked me to give you this " 

    He stared at her lazily through his lashes aware of the way she avoided looking at him 

    " Why are you avoiding my gaze " 

  Crystal looks at him surprised, she wasn't expecting him to talk about it 

 " well I --- " 

   He stands up drags her close to him  " I can't hear your voice clearly, speak up " 

  She feels her face going red , he was super close to her 

     " Well I'm not avoiding your gaze , you must be mistaken " 

  Rylan smirks and brings his face close to hers  " oh really why are you now looking down to the floor and not my face " 

    She bites her lips looking everywhere but him 

   " The floor is just amazing to look at " 

 " Hmm I see , let's stare at the floor together then "

    He puts his arm on her stiff shoulders and brings his face very close to hers 

   Crystal felt the room's temperature increasing cause she was already sweating profusely, Rylan's warm breath on her neck  made it difficult for her to breathe 

    " I-I have to go now " she stutters and runs outside almost stumbling 

    Rylan chuckles and leans on the desk .

   " It was fun teasing miss stripper" 

CORPORATE HALLWAY 

     Scarlett walks towards Liam's office humming to herself, she was in a good mood cause he did not make things difficult for her this morning..

    " Scarlett!! "  A voice yells from behind 

     She turns to find Crystal running towards her with her face all red 

     " What happened to you " Scarlett asks hugging her 

    She pats her chest , her heart was  still beating fast 

   " Long story , come on lemme fill you in " 

  Crystal said and drags her to the restroom 

   " So what happened" 

    She sighs and explains everything to her 

  Scarlett mouth drops open in surprise " omg he really did that " 

    " Yeah " Crystal said her face going red again 

   " I really like him Scarl and I think he likes me too ... " 

   Scarlett sighs not knowing what to say , she had known Rylan for a while and he is not the one to fall in love easily back then he was dating a girl in highschool and he was madly in love with her but she doesn't know what happened to the two of them . 

     " It's okay to like him Crystal but don't confess him at all even though he's giving you signs " 

    She sighs " alright I won't tell him about my feelings, I'll just indirectly tell him I like him "

   Scarlett rolls her eyes " right " 

   " So when am I seeing Aiden " 

    " You will see him when his school is on holiday" Scarlett said walking away 

    " Let's go now , I've lot of things to do "

    Crystal groans " me too , I wish you were still in the finance department " 

    " Same here dear " Scarlett said sighing 

They leave the restroom 

CEO OFFICE 

    Scarlett slips into the office as quietly as she could, Crystal gossip delayed her from arriving sooner .

  She stops dead in shock , Liam wasn't the only one in the office.. Camilla was was sitting on his laps , her head was on his chest while his protective arms was wrapped around her . 

     Scarlett puts her hands behind her back to hide it's trembling, her heart was numb .. she felt nothing but a void that can't be filled anymore. She bows stiffly and turns to leave 

     " Oh don't let us disturb you , pls seat " Camilla said smirking and snuggles closer to Liam who was watching her with no expression on his face 

  Scarlett bites her lips blinking back her tears , it looked like yesterday when she was in his arms with no care in the world .

   " Of course ma'am" she said bowing again and goes to seat on her chair , avoiding Liam's intense gaze on her . 

  Camilla smirks enjoying the hurt on her face , it was a good idea to come here after she complained to Liam's mom and she scolded the hell out of him making him let her glue to his body .

     " Oh pls don't be offended" Camilla said standing up and leans on the desk like a boss lady 

  " I need a cup of coffee like right now , hot one pls " 

    Scarlett folds her fist angrily, great now this brat is turning her to an errand girl 

 

   " Of course ma'am" 

  She stands up reluctantly and leaves 

   Camilla chuckles " bae she's really useful, I think it's a great idea not to fire her " 

    He ignored her and turns on his laptop making himself busy with it 

   She frowns , he is back to his old behavior looks like mom didn't scold him enough. 

       Scarlett enters inside and hands her the coffee 

  " Here it is ma'am" 

   She takes it and sips but spits it out 

   " What kind of bitter coffee is this , I asked for a coffee not a bitter medicine " 

   Camilla said angrily and empties the cup on her shirt .

   Scarlett gasps in shock , the coffee stained her white shirt while the rest poured on her hands , the hot coffee burned her hand instantly.

   " Ouch ouch " 

  She whimpers in pain , the tears she was holding since was threatening to fall 

    " Get me a new one what are you waiting for " Camilla said smirking 

    Scarlett leaves hurriedly not wanting to break down in their front .

     Few minutes later she walks back in .

Her head bent and she drops the coffee table 

    " Is this one okay ma'am" she said almost whispering 

     Camilla scoffs and eyes the coffee, she deliberately tried to annoy her so she can find an opportunity for Liam to fire her but it did not work .

    " You can go " 

  Scarlett bows and heads back to her desk trying to ignore the burning pain in her hand.

    " Leave miss blackwood, I don't need you here " Liam said coldy .

  She looks at him surprise was he dismissing her from work 

   " I believe you ain't deaf , pack your things and leave lady , you're done for today " Camilla adds smirking 

  

  Scarlett nods and turns away, packed up her things and left not sparing any of them a glance .

   Liam gaze lands on Camilla who was still smiling in triumph 

    " Camila this is the your last warning don't mistreat my employee again " 

   She looks at him surprised, she wasn't expecting him to scold her for what she just did cause he was quiet the entire time .

   " Why is it because she's your ex " 

   He smirks and focus back on his laptop " you've overstayed your welcome, leave now " 

    Camilla gasps " are you chasing me out because of your ex , liam I'm your fiancee " 

     " I don't like repeating myself Milla , you and I both know that I can't love you but you still cling to me like a leech , stop using Scarlett as an excuse"  he said 

    " Mom must hear of this " she said angrily and storms outside 

BUS TERMINAL 

     Scarlett stood like a ghost ignoring all the buses that stopped at her front , she was lost in her own world of hurt ...

    ° Liam you're so going to regret everything you did to me ... ° she thought feeling her tears fall freely, the pain in her hand can't match the one in her heart . 

   The weather changed and rain kissed everyone without umbrellas 

    Scarlett looks up in the sky enjoying the cold rain drop on her face , yeah she was still crying.

   The rain soaked her clothes relieving the pain in her hand but it did nothing to the one in her heart .

    " Liam should I just take Aiden to you so all this pain I'm going through can stop ... "You are reading from www.mhiztaemy.com.ng" I don't think I can bear this any more " she said cleaning her tears but more still came .

     Somewhere in the traffic jam Caspian sat lazily in his car seat , scrolling at articles on his tablet... 

   " Damn this traffic jam is hectic" he mutters wishing his driver wasn't an old man so he would be able to manover all this cars and not stick to one lane like some saint .

   He looks through the window going gently to the dream world .

   His eye snaps open as he sees a familiar figure in the rain . .. 

   " No way " he mutters 

   " Stop the f+king car " he said almost yelling.

    Scarlett stood in the rain not making a move to find somewhere to dry herself, she hugs herself shivering.. 

     She suddenly felt something above her head shielding her from the rain . looking up to see Caspian holding an umbrella for her as he stared at her intensely 

   " Oh it's you again " she smiled wearily 

    He takes in her appearance, the stained white shirt that was clinging to her body because it was soaked and his eyes didn't miss the scald on her left hand even though she tried to hide it. 

    " Lemme take you somewhere safe and warm , like that cafe across the road " 

  Scarlett nods not objecting , she was literally freezing and needed something warm .

   He leads her to the cafe and seats her down .

   °what in the world happened to her ° he thought folding his fist angrily watching as she hugs her arms 

    " You might get a cold " he mutters 

   She smiles " it's okay , I'll take medicine once I get home " 

   Caspian sighs and orders a hot cup of Americano for her and a first aid kit to treat her scald.

     " So do you mind telling me how you got this " he said applying ointment gently on it , her small hands fitted perfectly in his and he smiled lightly 

     She smiles nervously as she sips  the drink " oh this , it was just an accident, clumsy me " 

   " Hmm " he said not believing her one bit 

  He bandages the arm carefully not to hurt her and seats up watching her like she was his favorite tv show 

  Scarlett shifts nervously in her seat , she didn't like the way he was staring at her 

    " Why are you looking at me like that Caspian " 

    " I like you " 

  " Uh " 

   " Yes I like you " he repeated ignoring the shocked look on her face 

    She shakes her head in disbelief" but you don't know me " 

  " It doesn't matter " 

   Scarlett smiles sadly wishing her heart could fall for him , he seems like a nice person but this stupid and stubborn heart of heart refused but still trips whenever she sees Liam .

     " I'm sorry Caspian but I don't feel the same way " 

   He holds her hand " you don't have to , I'll make sure you fall for me"

   She shakes her head " I've a son Caspian and he is four ... He is the best thing that has happened to me , he is my everything so falling in love is impossible" 

  Ignoring the shocked and pale look on his face she continued 

   " I'll like it if you dismiss any thought of seeing or using me as a tool to bring Liam down , I'm aware he's your rival so leave me out of your plans ... Thank you for treating my wounds " She said and leaves 

   Caspian still stunned blocks her way 

   " If I can't be the one you love let me at least be a father to your son " 

   " What ! "
