Scarlett is pretty much the description of 'beauty with brains' and 'everyone has a scared past' together. Now what matters is her present. And this present need MONEY to fund someone's life.
Who? Someone close to her. But will she sign herself off...
"Fight your fears cause they are the only voice truly pushing you forward to take another chance"
"Where are we going Mr Knight?", she asked timidly scared of another outbreak from him which would result in her getting hurt.
She was honestly scared of him but she was not going to let him control her and take over her life entirely and would continue to be herself and live her life.
" To my family's place. Get changed there and then we will leave and don't you dare waste my time, Jones.", he replied curtly but his tone was intimidating.
Scarlett nodded at him and sat silently through the ride. Once they reached Alexanders house -mansion-she was shocked to see it. The house was magnificent and so big that it could fit half the staff at the Knights Corp. But she knew that all it consisted were not rooms and could be other things.
As they entered the house she was led to a room that seemed more of an out of use closet since it was full of clothes for both men and women and there were a few children clothing too.
She was asked to pick anything that fit her and there wasn't anything that did.
She scanned the entire closet and decided to wear a white spaghetti strap tank top and jeans and paired it with a maroon sweaterish coat.
She stepped out and waited for Alexander to come.
"What the heck are you wearing?", Alexander screamed at her when he came.
Ignoring how hot he looked in the tight-fitting white t-shirt and blue denim jeans with his hair all combed but messy at the same time.
"Umm, clothes?", she replied but it came out more like a question.
"No shit, Sherlock. Why are you wearing these clothes?", he replied not liking her sarcasm?
"These are the only ones that fit me, Mr Knight. There's nothing else that does. And we are getting extremely late. Let's leave please.", she said in a calm voice.
That seemed to have done the trick since Alexander simply nodded and then they left for her aunt's place.

"Sam? Hi what are you doing here?", Grayson asked her completely ignoring the man beside her. His insides were burning from jealousy after seeing her hand-in-hand with another man but he didn't know the truth of their relation.
" Gray, we decided to meet today right. And I wanted to check on Kristy.", she said and then continued as if just remembering the man beside her and said, "Oh this is my idiot of a twin brother Samuel.", she said.
That seemed to put Grayson on a very high cloud and he let out a huge sigh of relief.
" Hi, I'm Grayson.", he said forwarding his hand to Samuel. They all went in sat inside while Grayson went to escort his mother downstairs.
"Samantha! Dear it's so nice to see you again!", Kristy said
" Oh! Look at you as charming as ever!", Sam said throwing her arms around Kristy.
The two embraced each other for a while and then let go.
They all soon sat down in the drawing-room sofas in front of the long-forgotten television.
"Where's Scarlett?", Kristy asked suddenly in between an ongoing conversation sensing that it was pretty late and she still wasn't back from the supposed friends wedding she had gone to attend.
They all were clueless of the night to come, of the truths to be revealed and new people to be introduced.
Anticipating her return they decided to call her but it went unanswered and that washed panic all over the anxious faces.
Never had Scarlett given them this scare apart from a fee reckless nights in her late teen years. Those incidents too were elaborated and truth left out to all of them except Grayson.
Grayson soon assumed the worst of the situation and started pacing around. The idea of filing a police complaint had struck his mind more them a few times but seeing as they would not complain of missing person before twenty-four hours had passed that plan was declined.
Worried about her he once again called her and much to his relief she answered.
" Scarlett where are you? Do you know how worried we were?", Grayson screamed to the phone catching everyone's attention and keeping them on their toes about her reply.
"Grayson I'm fine. I'm coming home. There is something I need to tell everyone.", she said and hung up after receiving a response from him.
Now what they waited for was completely different from what they were going to encounter.

I know that this is the shortest chapter.
Except a update somewhere this time next week. I'm sorry for not updating a lot since I've been going through a writers block.
