The men inside keep mocking at her every interval of time, Scarlett tries her best not to enter their eyes but they soon catch her saying bad things about Eric, out of mistake and her part begins. The bully goes higher until they start hitting them from behind and when they turn, they all pretend like they weren't doing anything. Some hit with hands, others fists and yet others sticks. Scarlett wonders how they smuggled sticks into the cell, an idea comes into her head. "Perhaps all these are setups from Eric as revenge. These might be his men?" She says in a whisper and her mother nods. "Sure you must be telling the truth! What are we going to do now?" Susan asks. Scarlett shakes her head indicating that she knows nothing. "I expected you to come and bail me out but rather you got yourself inside here, how are we going to get out of there?" She lowers her head and starts to cry, she wipes off some tears with the back of her palms. Her mother places her hand over her back, consol
Eric was sitting with his PA who is in charge of the telephone and picking all calls he doesn't want to pick when Susan's call came through. When he saw that it was her, he gave his PA to respond because he wanted to let her know that he wasn't that Eric they knew. His levels had changed. His PA had no need to tell him what she said because he heard everything, with the phone being on speaker. After the call ended, he laughed at her, making mockery of her with Smith. "She treated me badly with her daughter who is my wife, but now I'm taking revenge on them from every angle. I'm leaving no stone unturned, I must pay them back double for all the harassment and shame I derived from their hands." "I like it this way, most especially as Mako is secretly with you, they would be placed in a state of panic." Smith gushes. "That's what I want, they deserve all of these and even more." "Sir, so at last, what are you going to do?" Eric gives Smith a warning glare. "I told you not to mainta
"We are still in the process of gathering qualified nannies for the interview, please be patient. We would finalize everything and send the names of the shortlisted candidates to you. Their interview would begin right away as you wish." Eric receives it through his email. He expected to get the names today but since for some circumstances best known to the college, they had decided to shift the finalization of the process by one day, he is not so bothered. Despite going to his company to see how things are going, he decides to go to Scarlett's apartment with some cops from the same headquarters that detained her and her mother. Making another trouble comes to mind, he wants to threaten once again and even many more. Scarlett and Susan since they are no longer working as actresses in Hollywood are sure to be at home, they have nowhere to go. He can't wait for them to go bankrupt. That's where he will remember them how they used to call him poor and deride him, now he will be the one
"Please, I beg you." She falls to her knees with tears in her eyes. "Mako needs you, I'm quite sure we will find him, he will come back to us one day, let's stay together and take care of him as a family." "Madam, you see what I was telling you? They both know of his whereabouts but refuse to say, you have heard what she is saying? Someone who doesn't know where our son is wouldn't give me such confident futuristic assurance. Force her into confessing, please madam. I need justice in this." Eric….. After Eric had Scarlett and Susan threatened, they were both released to go home but with heavy hearts. They wished they never treated Eric the way they did. "Do you know what type of personality Eric is, we aren't even aware of what he is doing?" Susan asks her daughter, being a gold digger mom-in-law, she is curious to know of Eric's personality. "Mom, I do not know but I know for sure that he is rich. I wish I never left him, now I would have been enjoying. Oh God! Why did I do thi
Raine chuckles. "No, I'm not pregnant. I have some kind of mental health disability, not like I don't reason well but this causes mood swings." "Okay, I get you now. I have some questions to ask you, hope you won't get annoyed by any of them?" Eric asks, supporting his chin with his hand, with eyes filled with a bit of lust and tactics. "No, I wouldn't." "Are you sure, I thought you might get pissed or wondering why I'm asking some questions outside of the interview set?" She shakes her head. She really needs this job, what is the question that she would be annoyed replying to. Raine is ready for any question this man is going to ask her. She is a patient type who is very sensible and truthful. "Let me start with my first question, are you aware that if you pass this interview, you would also be my mistress if I so choose, not only my son's nanny. Were you informed of this or it's the first time you are hearing of this?" "No, I know this already." "Good! So why did you cho
"Today I'm going out to find out about Eric and return to him, I just can't continue with you, you are a broke fool." Susan returns from the market to find her daughter quarreling with her fiance whom she wanted so badly to marry. She is surprised, claps her hand in utmost shock. "What! I didn't believe Scarlett would ever raise a voice against this man she claims loves and wants to marry." She hastens into the apartment to settle the conflict. Their concern shouldn't be Frank but getting to know Eric more and trying if they could be with him again. "What's going on here?" She asks any random person that would respond between the two of them, Scarlett and Frank. Frank is too upset to even look at her who is asking the question. He never expected this breach of loyalty because he really loves and trusts Scarlett. "I want to be with you, please don't do this to me." He pleads with her but her ears aren't simply just with him but somewhere she had rejected before. "Mom, leave him.
"For your information, I'm not Eric, I'm Mr Carlos and that's what you are gonna address me as. The only person who is permitted to call me Eric is my woman here. Take note!" Scarlett's mouth is shut, her lips tremble and she surely wants to say something but all words escape her memory. None wants to come out from her lips. "But…. but… Hmmm." She closes her mouth with a heavy sigh. "So you are now married?" "About to." "What's really going on between you and this lady, do you know I can sue you in court for negligence? Your son is nowhere to be found and you don't even care?" "You speak what you don't know, for your information, your son is living with me." He laughs out loud. Scarlett can't believe what she is hearing. So Mako was with you all these while, still you decided to call for the arrest of my mom and I. She reasons, her heart fuming like a raging fire. In a blink of an eye, she jumps on Eric like a vampire attempting to tear apart his prey. He would most certa
***Three weeks later*** Eric is in his office when his secretary knocks on the door. "Come in," He answers from inside. A tall, young man walks in dressed in a white long-sleeve shirt and a pair of black trousers. His hair is styled in a perfect office style. "Good afternoon sir." It's 12:45 PM. He walks over to his boss desk and stands, waiting for the next word from him. Eric is typing into his desktop and it seems to be a serious thing he is working on. "Good afternoon, how may I help you?" He replies at last, looking up for the first time. "Sir, I'm here to deliver a message I got to you. It has reached me from Mr Carlos that your debut as the new CEO of Hollywoods would be taking place in weeks. Three, probably." "Isn't it too short, Mark?" Eric asks. He isn't too prepared for this being that he loves the private life he is living though he is wealthy and would want to continue with this. "I can't guess, that's the news I got from Mr Carlos, the former CEO of Hollywood.
