THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE
"Did your father fail to discipline you, or did you simply grow up believing you could touch or run your mouth on whoever you pleased?" The sharp sound of the slap echoed through the executive office before anyone could fully process what had just happened.Jenny’s head snapped to the side, her cheek reddening instantly as silence fell over the entire room.Scarlett’s hand lowered slowly, her expression completely unchanged, as if what she had just done required no explanation.Jenny stood frozen for a brief second, her eyes widened with disbelief as she looked back at Scarlett, the shock far louder than the pain."You...." she started, her voice trembling slightly, but Scarlett did not allow her to continue."You will watch your actions and your words while you stand in my company, when you stand in my company, you abide by my rules.” Scarlett said coldly. "This is not your house, and he is not someone you get to lay your hands on."The room remained silent, not a single person move
THE MAN WHO NEVER NEEDED THE SPOTLIGHT
"Explain to me how this passed an internal review without raising a single flag." Scarlett’s voice was calm, but it carried a quiet pressure that made the air inside the executive office feel heavier than it already was.The file in front of her lay open across the desk, several pages marked, annotated, and cross-referenced with precision that left little room for error, yet the numbers printed across those sheets refused to align in any way that could be called natural.It was not a mistake.It was too clean for that.Ethan stood on the opposite side of the desk, his posture relaxed but his attention entirely focused on the documents she had been reviewing.He did not speak immediately.Instead, he reached forward and turned one of the pages slightly, his gaze moving across the columns of figures with quiet concentration."This section," he said after a moment, his tone even, "the transfers are consistent, but the timing isn’t.... Maybe you need to concentrate on timing rather than
FROM PAPERWORK TO STREET FOOD
"Different?" Ethan raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity surfacing in his expression as he looked at her, clearly intrigued by how unaffected she seemed by the way people spoke about her.Scarlett met his gaze and smiled faintly, not offended, not defensive, simply… certain."I know what you’re thinking, Ethan," she said calmly. "And you should remember one thing… no matter what people say about you, it doesn’t change what you actually are." Ethan remained silent, his eyes fixed on her as she continued."Let them hate you, let them isolate you, let them criticize you, insult you, humiliate you… even abandon you if they want," she continued, her voice steady, almost indifferent. "People do that when they can’t reach your level, when they know they can’t stand against you, so they try to pull you down instead." There was no anger in her tone, only quiet certainty."And the day you rise high enough," she added, "those same people will stand in front of you pretending they were always
THE MOST CASUAL MARRIAGE EVER
"Get ready, we are going out." Scarlett’s voice came from the living room with the same calm authority she used in board meetings, as if she were announcing a routine appointment rather than something that would completely disrupt the rest of Ethan’s day.Ethan, who had just stepped out of the shower and was still adjusting the cuff of his shirt, paused for a moment before looking toward her with a faint frown."We just dealt with one problem this morning," he said, his tone dry as he leaned against the doorway. "Should I be concerned about what kind of situation you’re planning to drag me into now?" Scarlett did not look up immediately, her attention resting on the file in her hand as she flipped a page calmly."There is no situation," she replied. "We are going to get our marriage registered." Ethan blinked once in surprise, "You must be joking.... right?" Scarlett finally looked at him, her expression completely serious. "Do I look like I joke about legal documents?" A brief s
THE TRUTH BENEATH THE BLINDFOLD
"You saved my life once… and then you used it to ruin me for another man." Ethan’s voice remained calm, but there was something final in the way the words settled between them, something that left no room for argument or misunderstanding.Jenny froze for a fraction of a second, then her expression twisted."What did you just say?" she demanded, her voice rising sharply as if she had not heard him correctly.Ethan looked at her without any kind of emotion."I said I don’t owe you anything anymore," he replied coldly. "Whatever debt you think I had… it ended the day you decided to trade my life for someone else’s benefit.... You no longer own my life, and I no longer owe anything to you." Jenny’s composure shattered."ETHAN!" She shouted, stepping forward, her hand slamming against the door as if she could force it open wider. "Don’t you dare twist things like that! Everything I did was for you! You’re alive because of me! You can't be ungrateful!" Ethan did not respond, he simply st
THE DEBT IS ALREADY PAID
"You keep talking about what I owe Charlie and that family." Ethan said calmly, then looked at her coldly, "But the truth is… I already paid for everything the day I was sent to prison for him." The accusation echoed across the quiet driveway.Jenny clenched her fist at those words."Going to prison is nothing compared to what Charlie went through because of you," she snapped. "And when will you stop pretending to be the victim, Ethan? You didn’t go to prison for nothing. I promised to marry you in return. Wasn’t that a huge profit for you?"She lifted her chin proudly."Do you have any idea how many young men from influential families are dying to marry me? But I'm giving you that opportunity, aren't you supposed to be grateful for that?" Ethan looked at her quietly before answering."You still haven’t realized something, Jenny. The only reason I ever stood beside you back then was because I believed you were worth it."He paused. "I was wrong."His voice remained calm but intensi
