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

As I watched him dashing away, I continued sipping my tea with great satisfaction.

You can never escape my clutches, Nathaniel. As long as I am still alive, you’ll be my prisoner.

It was exactly like what Ashton did to me for four years when I was still in R Province. I’ll toy you around while making sure that you can’t get rid of me.

After Nathaniel left, I rang Emery. I was hoping that she could get Alexander to meet me.

“Okay, I’ll try. I can’t promise you that he’ll show up,” Emery said hesitantly.

I wondered if she was making a fool out of me because I knew Alexander wouldn’t say no to her.

Just as I expected, Alexander agreed to meet at The Jade that afternoon.
