When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Rachel wept as if her heart was going to break. “I will always get what I want. Scarlett does not want him and pushes him away, so isn’t he up for grabs? Who do you think you are to judge me? All because I am beautiful and talented?”

Their argument amused me. Before I could stop myself, I joined in. “Liking somebody is something you couldn’t control. It is not wrong of you to like Ashton. You can continue to pursue him, but I will also keep being in the way. Let’s call it a fair game between two rivals.”

“Scarlett, are you crazy?” Linda gawked at me. “Another woman is after your man, and you’re still this generous?”

“I trust Ashton completely.” I shrugged. “If he does fall in love with Rachel, it’s his choice. If he does not and turns her down without even giving her an opportunity, doesn’t that show that it was worth all of the trouble I had gone through to make him my husband?”

“That’s true…” Linda nodded.

Rachel continued to glare at me fiercely. “Scarlett, you’re too confident with yourself. After the honeymoon phase, we’ll see if you still feel the same.”

She did have a point. “Like I said, fair game amongst rivals.”

Rachel’s screams and sobs had attracted a large group from the base.
