Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

There was only one thing on his mind: he couldn’t let her leave him. He had to make sure she didn’t leave him, no matter what it took. Scarlett was his happiness.

“Oh, really? What if I insist?” Scarlett looked around and said, “We are on the third floor right now. It will not kill me if I jump out from here, but what will happen if I do that? I really want to find out. Do you want me to try?”

Upon hearing her words, Francis looked pale and began to tremble. He started begging, “Come on, babe, you’re the mother of my child. My one and only love. My joy. Please forgive me!”

“Well, if you don’t want that to happen, you’d better let me go. I’m begging you to spare my baby and me.” Scarlett said sincerely.

Francis was desperate to find any trace of hesitation in her eyes, but he failed. He was losing her. Francis, who used to be so strong and thought himself practically invincible, now knew the pain and frustration of losing the one he loved.

“Well, okay, I’ll let you go, but I have one request.” He said.

“You don’t have the right to make any kind of request!” She looked up into his eyes. “You’ll see what happens next. I’m the one in control now.”

Francis had no idea about what to do next, so he just let go. Scarlett stormed out of the door without looking back. She left so quickly that Francis had not had the chance to utter his final request…

“I want to see you one more time.”

Once Scarlett left Francis, she moved in with Eve. With Eve, she was able to lead a comfortable and easy life.

Scarlett carried a plate of fresh oranges in her arms and stuffed the fruit into her mouth leisurely with her legs crossed on the tea table. As Eve walked out of the bathroom after a shower, she saw the scene and looked at her speechlessly, “Wow, you really don’t look like a girl who just broke up with her boyfriend! Aren’t you a little too comfortable?”

But Scarlett could not be bothered. She just took a look around her house and laughed, “What are you talking about? Your place is great. It’s much better than Francis’s place.”

“Stop that! I don’t believe what you’re saying. And I think you’d better move out and go back to him as quickly as possible. Otherwise, I’m going to face big trouble!” Eve said.

“But you promised me before that I could live here as long as I could. How can you do this to me?” Scarlett said in disbelief.

Throwing the towel she had in her hands on Scarlett’s head, Eve said angrily, “That’s because I thought that Francis had cheated on you and slept with his ex-wife. But it turned out he didn’t do any of that. And you know that now. So, what are you still doing here anyway?”

Scarlett took the towel off her face with a smile and said, “Don’t be mad at me! It’s not like I knew that at the time either. I only found out later… just like you….”

“So, he really didn’t sleep with her, then?” Eve was still confused about the whole situation.

“No, he didn’t. Before housekeeping got in there, I asked one of my friends to go inside and check what had happened. He said he saw nothing. It was all clean, no signs of any indiscretions.”

“No clues at all?” She was still doubtful. She sat beside Scarlett and picked up an orange to eat.

“It was very clean! If Vivian really wanted to pit us against each other, don’t you think she would create a whole mess? Probably throw a couple of condoms around the scene just to raise my suspicions?”

“Don’t you think it would’ve been Francis who would have wiped away all the clues?” Eve asked with a mischievous smile on her face.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Scarlett gave her an angry stare and said, “Although he has been fooled this time, I don’t believe that he will go that far.”

“Now that you know he didn’t cheat on you, why are you still here? Don’t you want to go back to him?” She was concerned for Scarlett.

“I just want to teach him a lesson.” Again she stuffed a little orange into her mouth and went on, “Well, coupled with his ex-wife, his mother, and elder brother’s wife, they all don’t like me, and I don’t want to bear them anymore. They all try to gang up on me. Do you really want to put me in danger?”

“Wow, you are so smart. I could never have seen that one was coming! You really are one wily temptress.” Eve said, sarcastically giving her a thumbs up.

Scarlett smiled and held up Eve’s chin, “I’m just gonna leave him to deal with his family. My only concern is taking good care of myself and my baby. I don’t have time for his nonsense anymore. You know what I mean?”

“Wow, so that’s what you’ve wanted this whole time. You are so good at dealing with these problems. I’m sure that you will defeat all the women who try to seduce Francis.” Eve said, patting her on the shoulder.

“Stop teasing me, Eve. I’m serious, okay?” Scarlett frowned at her.

“How did he respond when you told him you’re leaving?” Eve was curious.

“I mean, he wasn’t happy about it… but I don’t care about that! He has to do something. His whole family and ex-wife ganged up on me. It’s just ridiculous. I shouldn’t have to deal with that.”

“You know, I kinda pity Francis in this whole thing. Now he’s left with his shitty family, and even you’ve left him. It seems like he’s always the one who’s gonna get hurt. Well, I hope you’re not stressed, at least. Remember: you’re carrying a baby.”

“Yeah, I mean, I guess you’re right in some ways. But this time, I can actually win.” Scarlett raised her head and continued, “There are so many people trying to stop me from being with him, and I don’t have a choice. I have to manipulate the situation to gain some advantage and get what I want out of this. Do you really expect me to believe that Francis will choose me over his family? No way. There’s no way in hell.”
