Jason thought back to Scarlett's stunned face after everything had happened and he scoffed in derision. She was a bloody idiot, stupid and weak, and he hoped to the heavens above and whoever might be listening that his cousin got her due. Just then his phone rang, and he hesitated, with his current state he was unsure if he would ever be able to face anyone. Looking at the screen, he blanched. The worst of the worst was calling: his fiancee Emerald Wilson, and she was definitely worse than a hundred nosy paparazzi combined. But he picked up, knowing that a bigger hell awaited him should he fail to do so.
