Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

“I’ll be honest: I have no interest in current affairs,” Chuck scoffed, “But a couple of friends of mine called me up asking about you. That’s how I know you were even on TV.” Chuck said.

“Ask you what?”

“Oh, you know… the usual… they wanted to know if you’re seeing someone at the moment.”

Scarlett laughed.

“How dare they try to steal my uncle’s woman? They must be blind.” Chuck laughed out.

“Fortunately, I’m married; otherwise, you would be very busy.” Scarlett laughed as well.

“You are right. But I don’t want to be a matchmaker in life,” he said. “Is that really my lot in life by becoming friends with you?”

Scarlett laughed. “Anyway, good talking to you. I gotta go now. I just reached home, and I am absolutely exhausted.”

“Well, tomorrow I will come to pick up Shannon. You gotta get her ready.”

“Hey, why do you prefer Shannon to Brittany? Why can’t you just treat them the same?” she reproached him.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s not like that. I just feel Shannon is more similar to me, you know? She wants to chill and not do much, but Brittany always wants to do, like, crafts or something.”

Scarlett sighed. She wished that Chuck would make more of an effort to engage with both of her daughters and not just the one who was easier to manage for him.

“Anyway,” Chuck went on, “Remember that and get the package ready for her, and I will come to pick her up tomorrow morning.” With that, he hung up.

Scarlett drove her car into the garage and parked it there; after that, she got out of the car with her suitcase.

“Mommy, welcome home!”

Upon hearing the clear voice of kids, she looked up in surprise and saw Brittany and Shannon holding a banner at the door. On it were the words, “Mommy is the best! Come on, mommy!” and Carlos stood between them with a delicious-looking cake.

“Wow!” her eyes widened in surprise.

Francis came out from behind. His white shirt was splashed with red and yellow paint. He stood next to Carlos and smiled at Scarlett as she walked towards the villa.

Scarlett threw her suitcase away and jumped into Francis’s arms delightedly.

“You guys are amazing! You didn’t have to do all this for Mommy!” she said, her eyes glittering with joy. She hugged her dear children tightly and kissed their cheeks.

Francis put his arms around her waist and kissed Scarlett’s cheek, and said, “You deserve it. You should be glad!”

Shannon looked up at her mother with her watery eyes and said, “Mommy, you only give me one kiss…”

Scarlett laughed and then held Shannon’s face to give her another kiss. When did Scarlett saw her so happy that she gives one more kiss on her forehead and said, “Did you draw the heart under the left corner? I recognized it at once.”

Shannon nodded her head in surprise and held her mother’s waist and looked at her brother happily.

Carlos touched her head and said, “Shannon, you’ve done a great job!”

Meanwhile, Brittany had already climbed up on Francis’s back.

“What about me?” Brittany said as she pointed at herself.

All five of them walked inside the villa.

After Scarlett put the three kids into bed, she finally had the time to have a bubble bath. Lying in the bathtub, Scarlett was completely relaxed and had a glass of red wine in her hand.

The glass door of the bathroom was pushed open. She knew it was Francis coming in, so she said with her eyes closed, “I’m too tired today, honey. I don’t want to make love tonight because I want to rest just a bit.”

Francis just chuckled and came to the bathtub and rolled up his sleeves, and said, “What about a massage? Don’t you want that?”

Scarlett opened one eye in doubt and nodded her head, “Okay, but I really doubt your intentions.”

Unexpectedly, Francis started to massage her and did so very professionally.

“Honey, you really are the best!” she said as she held his face and kissed him deeply.

With his hands on her thighs, Francis started to sneak up to Scarlett’s sensitive spot. But before he could make a significant headway, Scarlett slapped his hands away.

“Not now, Francis.”

Francis made a puppy dog face and then started to take off his clothes.

“What do you think you are doing?” Scarlett said in shock.

“I’m taking a bath! We can save water if we take a bath together like this. Don’t you think?” he said concisely.

Scarlett poured a glass of wine and handed it to him. With that, they shared a drink and some laughs.

Scarlett put down the glass and then placed her chin on Francis’s shoulder. Grabbing his waist, she asked, “Do you have anything to say to me?”

Francis reached out his hands to touch her face and couldn’t help himself and gave a kiss on her lips and said, “Scarlett, it’s been seven years, you are still so pretty.”

Scarlett chuckled and held his neck. Then she gave him a kiss on his chin and said, “Francis, it’s been seven years. You still love me as much as before, right? Has nothing changed between us? You still feel as strongly as you did the first time you met me?”

Francis nodded and kissed her neck.

After a while, Scarlett smiled and said, “Francis, I want to be honest with you. I was actually really nervous when I went up on the stage today.”

“And then?” he asked.

“And then I thought of you, and suddenly I calmed myself down.” she looked up at him and said, her eyes watery.

“Why?” he was surprised.

“Well…” Scarlett mused, “I realized that I couldn’t go wrong when I have you supporting me all the time. You allow me to live my life the way I want– on my own terms– so I don’t need to have any fear. I know you’ll always love me and support me. So, thanks for always backing me, honey! It really means so much to me to have your support.”

“I’m so proud of you, babe. I always have been, and I always will be. You’re right, I will always support you in any way I can, no matter what. You have nothing to fear, nothing to worry about.”

Scarlett sat on his lap, and with her head on Francis’s shoulder, she said, “Really?”

“Of course, babe. I’m not here to steal your thunder. My only purpose in life is letting you discover your own charm, gifts, and beauty– inside and outside.”

After that, Francis kissed her affectionately. He fondled and caressed her beautiful body late into the night.
