(Scarlett’s POV)
*
I returned back to my penthouse, feeling happy that my plans had worked. I hummed my favourite music as I danced at the living room, “You are a genius, Scar”
Stripping the dress that I was wearing off my body, I put on a robe and walked towards the mirror and smiled happily. I hoped that Max would one day understand that an ugly and fat woman like his wife would not make him happy in a marriage. She does not deserve a perfect man like Max. “But, I’m perfect for you, baby”
I sat on my bed with a soft glow coming from my bedside lamp casting seductive dimly lit shadows across my room. I knew exactly what I was doing as I positioned my phone in front of me, ensuring the right angle to capture the sight of my bare body.
My silky red robe slipped off from one shoulder, revealing a glimpse of my breast waiting for Maxwell to taste them. I placed the tip of my tongue out towards touching my n*****s, with my eyes looking at my phone.
With a half smile, I then bit my lips playfully while rubbing my soaking wet panties, “I want you”. I whispered with my eyes half-closed in a longing look of desire for him.
Being satisfied with the pictures and video recording I made, I sent them to Maxwell. “Perfect” I giggled to myself while looking at the sultry pictures of mine.
I was so good with this game, knowing quite well on how to stir up a man’s desire for my body. All I had to do to get Maxwell to do my bidding, was to remind him what he could have and make him forget about his ugly wife. “You will only think about me, darling”
How could I not win this game to get Max to leave his fat wife? It was so easy. Easier than the devious plans I made to ruin my half-sister, Lily’s match arranged by my father.
Lily might be my father’s daughter from his marriage to his wife, but I was his favourite daughter from his mistress. I was sure he loved me more than Lily. It is just that he had his reputation to care for and would only match Lily with the best suitor and leaving me with the second best.
I smirked and let out a loud laugh, remembering Lily’s face when a s*x video of her fiancé with a blurred woman was sent to her. Of course, she never found out that the woman who f****d her fiancé was me. Just like how, Max’s ugly wife would never find out that woman in the s*x video I sent to her, was me.
Using the projector in my room, I casted the s*x video I sent to Layla on the screen on my wall. The soft glow from the screen illuminated my face. The video was the version with my face shown. So beautiful, so sexy.
On my bed, my heart raced with anticipation as the video began to play. The familiar clip shown ignited the desire within me for Max.
I leaned back with my breath quickening as I watched the intimate scene where each movement elicit a rush of arousal. “Aaahh..” I exhaled with my eyes half shut, while my fingers grazed my skin, exploring the curves of my body. My hands moved from my waist down to my thigh as I spread my legs apart.
The rhythm of the video synchronized with my own heartbeat, creating an intoxicating pleasure to myself. I closed my eyes as I rubbed my c******s with my finger, imagining it being pleasured by Max. “Ummph”
Biting my lips, my eyes stared at the screen watching how Max had moaned with pleasure. The sound coming from the recorded video had filled the room with a symphony of moans and soft gasps that fueled my desire. In the private sanctuary of my room, I allowed myself to be swept away with my fantasies of Max. I slipped a finger inside of my wetness and moved it gently to touch my most sensitive part.
I needed to own Max and convince him to marry me. He was a young and successful businessman who was easy for me to manipulate. I was not going to marry the man that my father had chosen for me although he was a son of a very rich man. I had no s****l desire for that man.
As I orgasm, I dreamt of my happy life with Max and even happier as compared to the life that pathetic Lily would have. Lily would be on her knees begging me for money after I took everything from her. I would leave her nothing.
I arched my back feeling myself reaching a climax. I let out soft moans feeling my body drown with lust.
At that moment, unexpectedly, I heard a noise coming from the front door. Was that Max? Did he come running towards me after watching the seductive video of me that I sent to him?
“Hey, baby. I’m in my room” I called out to Max. I froze at the slightly opened door looking at the tall man who had the same eye colour as mine, “D-daddy?”
“Were you expecting someone else?” he said with his clenched teeth. Not even giving me a chance to cover my body with my robe, he had kicked the door open and invited himself into my room. Well, the penthouse was under his name to be precise.
“Is there something wrong, Daddy?” I said after I stood up from the bed and tried to embrace him in a warm hug. But I was met with an angry stare from him.
“Daddy, let me guess. Did you precious daughter Lily cause a mess in your life, again?” I rolled my eyes and offered him a glass of champagne. “You have come to the right place to talk to me about Lily. She is –”
“Shut up, Scarlett!” he shouted before emptying the glass of champagne I offered him. Hearing him shout at me was not something I had expected.
“Daddy, what is matter?”
“You and Maxwell Thorne! That is what bothers me. Do you know the consequences when the public find out about you being Maxwell’s mistress? Do you not think I would not find it out?”
“We were going to tell you. In fact, Maxwell wants to meet you. He is leaving his wife, Daddy. He is choosing me”
“Scarlett! Do not be a fool!” that was rude, and I did not like his tone used on me.
“Daddy, I’m an adult and I will make my own decision on who to marry”
“Not when it affects my business!” he snapped, and his face flushed with anger. “His reputation of leaving his wife for a woman like you would be ruin. His business will go down and I will lose the money invested in his business. It was supposed to be the other way round”
“A woman like me? He loves me and I love him”
“Love?” he let out a bitter laugh and looked at me from head to toe, “Dear child, he is using you. Manipulating you. I know what kind of a man he is. You’re going to end this – now!”
“I won’t!” I yelled and took a step closer, my voice trembling with emotion which I was trying to hide, “I’m not ending my relationship with Max, just because you want me to”
“Then, you leave me with no choice but to cut you out from my money until you fix this mess!” I then heard the sound of the front door slam hard, sealing my fate to be penniless from my father’s money.
I was not going to leave Maxwell, and I had a plan. I was sure he would be on my side.
I sat on my plush sofa with the dim light in my room casting a soft glow over me. Clearing my throat, I called Maxwell greeting him with my voice dripping with honeyed sweetness, “Hello, baby. When are you coming back to me? I miss you”
“Scarlett..” I could hear him beathing on the other end steadily but with a hint of hesitation. “I’m a little busy today”
“Maxwell..” I purred, mentioning his name like a soft caress, “I have been thinking about us.. about how much better things would be if we did not have to sneak around all the time. Don’t you think it will hurt your wife more if we keep doing this?”
“Scarlett, my little kitten. We’ve talked about this. I can’t just leave Layla. It’s.. well.. it is not that easy”
I rolled my eyes, even though he could not see me, but my voice was kept calm and seductive to get his attention. “I thought.. you had been wanting to leave her. Or are you just afraid of taking a chance with us? Am I not what you desire?”
“Of course, kitten. I would want that. But.. it is complicated, right now”
“Complicated?” I dropped my voice and let out a soft moan, “Baby, are you not tired of hiding the lies? Don’t you want to wake up next to me? Naked from us, making love all.. night.. long? Do you not want me to be all yours?”
Maxwell was silent for a moment, and I knew it was my opportunity to get into his head, “I have been thinking about you all day.. imagining your hands exploring every curve of my body (I moaned softly), with your lips trailing down my neck, teasing me until I can’t stand it.. anymore”
“Would you beg for more?” I could sense I was already in control of his desire for me and that made me smile.
“My love, you know I would be wanting you to savor every moment with your hot breath on my skin as you whisper how much you want me. Then, I would slip beneath you, every inch of my body yearning for your touch. I want.. (I exhale my breath shakily) I want to feel you deep inside of me, filling me completely. Oh, Max”
“Baby.. Not now”
My tone went soft, almost pleading, “Please, Max”
“Let me deal with Layla. I need to find her first. But for now, we need to keep our affair secret, Scarlett. It is not the right time yet. You know pretty well that the Board in my company would not trust a man without a stable marriage”
“Find her?” my smile widened sensing his wife already left him. That fat wife of his had left meaning I was a step closer to make Max, only mine.
Sensing victory, I faked a concern voice that cared for his well-being, “Are you alright? Baby, you do not have to do this alone, I’m here waiting for you. Always”
“Not now, Scarlett. I need to find her first. We can talk later. For now, we need to be careful and not make our affair known to public. It might.. maybe, affect my other investors”
I rolled my eyes with frustration. I had thought he would ask for a divorce when his wife finally left him. I wondered what made him hesitate to leave her?
“Scarlett, we talk later. Good night, my love” he ended the call without even allowing me to call it to an end.
“ARRGGHH!” I shouted in frustration knowing I was about to lose him
The barrier was his wife. “NO! I will not let his wife go back to him. I need her out of the way!”
But first, I had to make sure of one thing. Taking my phone, I made a call to someone that could make my problem go away, “Hello, Braxx. I have an assignment for you. Make sure you eliminate the barrier at all cost!”
It was a simple call with a picture of Maxwell’s wife sent to Braxx. I was sure Braxx would make her disappear and clear my path to be with Maxwell Thorne.
