Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

“You know what? It’s a tug of war. I have to make sure I get back into school now. Otherwise, I will end up being a housewife forever. I’m not gonna compromise this time!” Scarlett said.

Fortunately, Francis didn’t bother putting up more of a fight.

Scarlett made a call to Bell to ask her about what had happened recently at school, but before she was able to do that, Bell just shouted out excitedly,

“Scarlett! Where the hell have you been these days? Have you been kidnapped? Why haven’t you given me a call recently?”

“It’s a long story. I’m fine though, don’t worry. I have something to ask you. I haven’t registered for classes yet… do you know if that might be a problem for me?”

“Well, they might choose to leave your name out of the list of graduating seniors!”

“Wait, what? Can they seriously do that? That’s fucked up!” Scarlett shouted nervously.

“You’re such a fool! I’m just kidding. Rest assured, I was told that you qualified for medical leave, so you’d just be back next semester, and everything would be fine. So, what’s the deal anyway? What’s been up?” Bell asked.

“Well, as I said, it’s a long story. I will tell you all about it when I get back to school, okay?” Scarlett said.

“Really?” Bell doubted her sincerity.

“I promise! It’s just… it’s too long to get into on the phone!” She explained after hesitating a bit.

“When did you start having so many secrets to hide from me? Have you done something bad? Tell me, are you seeing someone now? You better not be seeing anyone… because we agreed that we would stay single forever and never get married! You broke your word!” She yelled into the phone.

“Well, I never brought that pack up when you got a boyfriend, now did I? Now you’re trying to remind me of some pact we made after you broke it so long ago yourself!” Scarlett laughed, her back leaning against the window.

“Wow, so you really do have a boyfriend now! Don’t you? That explains everything!” Bell laughed loudly.

“Could you keep your voice down?” She said in a low voice.

“Well, get your ass back as soon as possible and tell me everything!” Bell yelled out.

“It’s been several months since we saw each other, and why are you getting so grumpy now?” Scarlett jokes.

“It has been ten months, okay? That’s a long time; everything has changed.” She replied.

It was true that they had never gone so long without seeing each other. Since Scarlett had gotten pregnant and she had a three-month-old baby now, she really had disappeared for quite a long time.

After Scarlett hung up, she was left alone in the living room. She had no idea where Eve had gone, so she went upstairs to look for Francis and her baby.

As she pushed the door of the room open, the baby rolled around and then saw her coming. Instantly, a smile spread on his face. Francis and the baby were having a good time together, laughing and playing, but to her surprise, when Scarlett walked in, the smile on Francis’s face disappeared without any warning.

“You are not happy about my going back to school?” She asked as she set herself down on the bed and held up the baby in her arms as he wiggled around in joy.

“Well, not really. When will you go back then?” Francis asked.

“I want to go back to school as soon as possible. I mean, I’ve already been absent an entire semester. My professors probably have a bad impression of me now…” Scarlett explained, looking down at her still smiling son.

“Well, then where will you live?” He asked.

“Well, for convenience, it’s better for me to live on campus rather than at home.” She said with hesitation, forcing a smile on her face.

Upon hearing that, Francis was very upset. He accidentally knocked over the lamp, startling both her and the baby.

“What are you doing?” Scarlett was surprised.

“Oh, I’m sorry! How clumsy I am.” He said.

After that, Francis took the baby from her and looked down at him, “Oh, my poor kid, your mommy is leaving us, how about go back home with your daddy now?”

“What nonsense are you saying!” She yelled.

“But that’s what you are gonna do! You want to go back to school and don’t want to go back home. What else do you want to do? You want to pretend that you’re single so you can see other men? Is that what’s going on, Scarlett?”

“For god’s sake, Francis, you are being ridiculous!” She jumped up and said angrily.

“It’s you that is being ridiculous now! Now that you have given birth to the baby, you are free now! You can go after what you want in life.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Don’t twist my words. I never said that I intend on abandoning my baby.” Scarlett said angrily.

“Oh, so you are just about to abandon me then, is it? I see how it is.” He said, his fingers clenching into a menacing fist.

“Listen, Francis, we’re not married. You’re not my husband. Even if you were my husband, you can’t tell me what to do. I’m the one who is in charge of my life.” She was pissed off.

“Well, is that my fault that we are still unmarried? I have brought it up many times, but you always turn me down!” Francis sneered. His eyes were so steely with anger that Scarlett felt a chill run down her back.

“I didn’t turn you down, I just suggested that we should think about it before we rush into anything. We shouldn’t make any wrong decisions.”

“You are just making up an excuse for not marrying me, aren’t you? Don’t you always think that Chuck knows you better than I do?” He said.

What he said really surprised her, and she felt the room become cold. She stared at him in disbelief. She was so angry that she wanted to kick him.

“You are talking nonsense now!” She said angrily and stormed off.
