Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

But Francis said nothing. Instead, he just smiled at her. Scarlett walked over and took a close look at him.

“Are you drunk?”

“No, of course not!” He responded and touched her hair gently.

There was a strong smell of wine emanating from his breath that made Scarlett frown. When she took a look at the time on the clock, she realized that it was eight o’clock, but she still had not eaten dinner. Under his hot eyes, she felt goosebumps all over her body. She was afraid that Francis would scold her for not having eaten dinner and playing games, instead, but when she looked at drunk Francis, she breathed a sigh of relief.

“You stink. You’d better take a shower now!” She frowned and took him towards the bathroom by the corner of his shirt.

However, Francis just walked up to her and put his arms around her waist, following her to the bathroom.

“You are killing me! You smell so bad!” Scarlett tried to get rid of him and breathed the fresh air. After realizing she couldn’t handle him alone, she rang the bell on the wall to ask for help. With the help of servants, Scarlett finally took Francis to his room, as he was too heavy for her to carry.

Holding her nose, Scarlett helped him take off his clothes and got him in the bathtub.

“Behave yourself! Otherwise, I will leave!” She said. Francis kept trying to pull her into the bathtub with him.

“Oh, darling!”

Scarlett slapped Francis’s face to wake him up, “Sober up already, Mr. Sandler!”

“I’m not drunk, you are my darling, my wife, Scarlett!” He smiled as his deep voice came out of his throat.

To not be fooled by his sweet words, Scarlett slapped herself in the face as a warning. After she washed him all over, she just threw a big bath towel on him and said,

“Get yourself dry and go to sleep!”

Scarlett rushed out of the bathroom with a red face and stopped at the door to slap herself again. She had been tempted to get in the bathtub with him, but she knew it was improper. She was with a child, after all. It could’ve been dangerous.

As she kept warning herself, she became more flustered. When she saw Francis staggering out of the bathroom, she hurried downstairs before he saw her.

Because she still had not eaten any dinner, she decided it was high time to get some food in her body. Sitting at the table all by herself, she felt kind of lonely and had no appetite. Despite that, she knew she had to eat. As she finished her meal, she wiped her mouth clean and glanced at the clock. It was already ten. She stroked her belly gently.

“Good night, my little precious!” She whispered.

After she was done eating, Scarlett went upstairs and walked into the bedroom. The first thing she saw was the clothes scattered all over the floor, and Francis already fasts asleep under the covers.

Scarlett bent down to pick up the dirty clothes and threw them into the laundry basket. She noticed that something had fallen out of one of the pockets. It was an open condom.

As she saw the condom, she dropped to her knees. She felt overwhelmed. After a second, she struggled to stand up and walked to the side of the bed, sitting down on the bed and waking the sleepy man up. She had to be clear with him.

“Francis, wake up! Wake up! What the hell is this? Hmm? What the fuck is this, Francis?”

However, Francis was too intoxicated and didn’t even stir. Scarlett gave up and looked down at the disgusting thing in her hand and tossed it aside.

She stood up to grab her cellphone and called Eve. It was around the time that Eve was probably getting ready to go out for a night on the town. Scarlett figured she would be wide awake.

Scarlett stood by the window and spoke on the phone.

“Do you think, is that possible that someone put it in his pocket on purpose?”

“Maybe. Who knows! People will do anything to get what they want, don’t you know? You really need to watch out, girl.”

Scarlett leaned against the window. “I don’t know what’s going on, Eve. It’s all so strange. Why is Vivian playing games with me?”

“Are you sure it’s Vivian?” Eve said after a long silence.

“Yeah… I mean, I can’t really think of anyone else who would be eager to separate us. Who else would do something like this?”

“So? Do you think it’s for real, or do you think it’s just a trap set by Vivian?” Eve asked.

Scarlett looked down at her baby and answered in a gentle tone as if the wind could blow it away in the air.

“I will…” What she said next disappeared into her throat.

Scarlett took a picture of the condom and then flushed it down the toilet.

She had made up her mind that she would not compromise again. She couldn’t stand this anymore. She knew she had to do something. She had never been the type to steal or meddle, and she would destroy anyone who tried to mess with her.

Scarlett took a deep breath to calm herself down, and the baby kicked as if he knew that his mother was stressed, and it was stressing him out too.

“I’m so sorry! You feel stressed out, too, right? Everything will be alright,” She touched her baby to comfort and went on, “Have a good night, my little precious!”

The following day when Scarlett woke up, Francis had already left for work. Shirley, the housekeeper, told Scarlett that Francis had an early morning meeting.

“Didn’t he have a headache?” Scarlett asked.

“He has gotten used to that, and I cooked some soup for him, so I think he will be fine.”

Scarlett nodded her head.

At noon, the doorbell suddenly rang. It was Chuck and Victory. Scarlett was amazed that this magical combination would pay her a visit at the same time.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“What brings you guys here? Why not let me know in advance so I could have prepared some delicious food and drinks?” Scarlett said as she walked downstairs with a smile on her face.
