Humiliated

Humiliated
Asher’s point of view

I took her hand into mine, my gaze not leaving hers. “I know you've decided, and I won't force you to change it. “My voice dropped into a whisper... “But please allow me to spend the remaining day with you. If I can't have you, at least I'll live with the memories of us.. “

Scarlett’s gaze darted inside the room, looking at everything except me. Hell no, am I going to let her go? There are millions of reasons why she should stay, and I'm going to show her all of them.

“A…Asher.. “She stammered... “Please don't make it harder than it is.. “Her words came out as a whisper. I took a step closer to her, closing the distance between us. I lifted my hand to her chin, making her face me.

“If leaving is hard, then why don't you stay? “My lungs constricted. She seemed to have made her decision, and I didn't have enough time. How am I going to convince her? “Please give me a chance to show you how much I love you, Scarlett. One chance, and if I can't change your mind, then I'll let go.. “

“Asher..I can't.. “She stammered. I leaned closer to her, closing the little distance between us. My forehead rested against hers, my breath now coming in short gasps, trying hard to keep my emotions in check.

“Please, Scarlett, don't do this to us. You know very well that we both deserve this chance. “My voice cracked barely above a whisper. I'm not ready to lose before I even play. I'm not ready to lose her just when I found her.

“Fine... “Scarlett finally gave in, her eyes locking with mine. “But please don't stop me from going when all this is over... “She muttered, a smile stretched on my lips. I gently placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

Later That Day

All thanks to that damn Scarlynn, I couldn't have dinner alone with Scarlett because apparently she had to cook for us to feel better about the lie she had just created. Only God knows how much I hate her and how much I was holding in.

All I wanted was to bring out my gun and shoot the hell out of her, but I didn't want to interfere in Scarlett’s plans.

“I must say, you are very lucky Scarlett to have found a husband like John. He is handsome and rich, every woman's dream. “She let out an awkward chuckle as she grasped the glass of wine and took a sip. My stomach churned as she stared at me through the glass.

Scarlett placed her hand over mine. It was warm and petite, her tall fingers entwined with mine. “That's why he's mine, all the best things belong to me. “Scarlett’s tone was firm, her eyes glancing over Scarlynn for a few minutes before she turned her gaze to me.

I couldn't help but smirk. How I wish she meant those words. I wish I could belong to her completely.

“Well, I think men get bored easily…. “Monica chimed in. “You'd never know when they fall for someone else and leave you behind. “Her tone had a hidden meaning, and I knew exactly what she meant.

Scarlett chuckled. “There's a difference between a man and a boy. “Scarlett retorted. “A man would do anything for a woman he loves while a boy gives up easily and he'd end up finding someone else. “Scarlett’s words rang in my ears more than they should.

Could it be that she means she loves the kind of men who'd do anything for her and stay no matter how tough it's become?

And what if I actually use her words against her? Won't I win her heart then?

Monica let out a sarcastic laugh, but before she could say anything, Tina walked in.

“Miss Scarlett, I think you should see this. “She handed a tablet over to Scarlett. She removed her hand away from mine and grasped the tablet. Her eyes widened as she stared at the screen. We both knew what she was watching, but I guess she had to face her shock to make it realistic.

“Scarlynn, isn't this your mother? “Scarlett’s voice was dripping with shock, her eyes still wide. I couldn't help but want to chuckle. She was such a good actress.

Scarlynn was sitting opposite Scarlett already, so she took the tablet from her. Her eyes went wide instantly as she watched the video of her very own mother fucking her so-called husband.

What a scandal. It was all over the news. Everyone in the country must have seen it by now. I actually didn't think Scarlett let the world see it since she was her mother, but it seems like she didn't care about them anymore.

“M.. Mom.. “Scarlynn stammered, tears welling up in her eyes, for real this time. “How could you do this to me? You've betrayed me, your own daughter. How could you? “Her hands trembled, her face now flushing red with rage.

Monica grabbed the tablet, her face turned white as she watched the videos of her and Shane along with Mark fucking.

Surely she wasn't that old, but she was too old for a threesome, especially with her son-in-law.

“Scarlynn, this video is fake. You know I'd never do such a thing to you, my dear. Please trust me. “She stammered, her hands trembling to a point of the tablet falling on the ground with a loud thud.

“Shut the fuck up, mom!! “Scarlynn yelled, tears now streaming down her face. “Aren't you ashamed of yourself? How can you humiliate me like this? How am I going to even face the world? “Scarlynn screamed. She rose off the chair, rushing to the stairs, bursting into sobs. Monica rose off the chair and rushed after her.

A smirk stretched on Scarlett’s lips as she took a sip of her wine and placed the glass on the table. “This is just the beginning. They'd regret everything they'd done to me. “She muttered, her gaze cold and dark.

I chuckled. She's doing very well. I'm going to support her in each and every step.
