One cloudy day in Manchester, it was cold and the raindrops were hitting my window I prepared hot chocolate to warm up, I stood in front of the window to drink my hot chocolate and a thought came to my head... Jean the most handsome boy in the university kissing my lips near the lockers! That day I became his girlfriend... Already today we have been dating for exactly two years...

He loved me as much as I loved him so we decided to get married when they finally approve his architecture project, I for my part work in a canteen just as a waitress! to pay for my studies! I study architecture too but I'm in my third semester...

I'm 19 years old

Scarlett Johnson.

and Jean is 25

Jean is about to graduate and he is at the top of his class! He doesn't like my job very much, but he understands my economic situation is the same as his with the difference that he has a university scholarship and I pay for my studies, however, everything between us is going very well I live alone in a small flat that I pay for with my friend Lucia, she only comes to sleep and leaves very early in the morning...!

My mother left when I was only 2 years old I don't even remember her face then my father died when I was 12 years old and I lived with the nuns in the convent of Manchester until I came of age thanks to mother Celeste I studied and had a roof over my head until I turned 18 and that's how I sum up my life I have a year paying for my flat, my career and my things thanks to the good tips they leave in the canteen! My shift starts at 5 pm and ends at midnight Jean always goes to pick me up on his motorbike and drops me off at my flat, but that only happened until today... I felt the door open and I turned around and he had the keys to the flat because due to lack of time, we could only see each other here in the morning before leaving for university...

"Hello, my love..." I ran to his arms and clung to him like a little girl... he hugged me very tight and then he smiled at me...

"HAPPY TWO YEARS my love!" he said to me... putting on my wrist a bracelet with two initials, J and S

Jean and Scarlett that's my name I got very excited and kissed it.....

"It's perfect..."

"I have something to tell you..."

His eyes clouded over immediately and I took his face in my hands...

"What's the matter?" I asked without looking away...

"My project has been approved and I have to go to Birmingham for 2 years..."

I felt that my world was falling apart...

"I have to leave tomorrow!"

My eyes clouded over and my tears started to fall on my face!

I found no comfort in his embrace! He also just cried beside me and said...

"Two years will pass quickly and we can get married! just promise me that you will wait for me..."

"Jean I don't know if I can take it!"

"I know it's hard for both of us! But I'll earn money and I'll come back and we'll get married and you can graduate in that time then our lives will be better and you won't have to work in the canteen anymore, it will only be 2 years and I promise..."

"You better not promise anything..."

I ran out of the flat and into the rain that was getting stronger and stronger... I felt his hands embrace me and we cried in the rain making a promise to each other to wait for the time to be able to unite our lives and meet again...

That was the saddest day of my life and today a month after his departure I only study and work hard not to be sad all the time...

Most of my day I'm in the canteen... Lucia worked there as well as me, we both waited tables and served from the bar, we mostly took turns... the cantina was very frequented by men with a lot of money and power they arrived in luxurious cars and most of them were accompanied by bodyguards our boss Williams he didn't allow any of us girls to be disrespected of course there is always a girl who flirts with one of those millionaires but I only think about Jean day and night...

"DAMP....." I bumped into someone and knocked the drink I was about to pour over his suit. ....

"I'm sorry!"

"Stupid girl did you see what you did!"

"I'm sorry let me help..."

"Don't touch me, get your filthy hands off of me!"

He looked at me and for a moment he frowned. He looked me in the eye and had a look full of hate but I am not intimidated by this man at...

"Can I help you dry your suit?"

"Help me by getting you away from my little girl..."

He pushed me out of the way and I fell sitting next to Lucia who helped me up...

"Are you alright?"

"Yes thanks! I don't know what happened to me, I was distracted..."

"I know! I saw everything... you must be more careful..."

"I know, I'm sorry, I don't know what happened to me..."

"At least Williams didn't notice it..."

"Come on, I'll help you with this!"

Lucia helped me to pick up the glass that was left all over the place...

Lyon Smith...

Businessman of only 28 years old, a handsome man desired by many women and with a huge chain of shops all over the country... (Fashion House) and others that distribute various brands worldwide... it should be noted that the companies do not become entirely his as there is a condition that must be met to have the right to everything...

Lyon Smith...

"Idiot girl! I don't understand how they let such useless people work here..."

"Sir, if you want I'll talk to the owner of this dump right now so they can fire that careerist, she probably jumped on you to see if she could get your attention... that has already happened several times with other opportunists..."

"no need Javier now I have more important problems to solve ..."

________________________________________

Please support my work.

"Lyon still can't convince your mother?"

Javier was more than an escort for me, he is the one who has taken care of me for more than 15 years we have created a friendship he is almost 10 years older than me so he and my lawyer JJ are my trusty men… JJ we call him that out of affection, but his name is Jerry, and we are waiting for him right now for business reasons…

"JJ will be here soon, he will tell me what my mother is up to now…" Jerry finally arrives

"Lyon I don't attract good news for you!!!"

"Tell me now what does my mother want?"

"Lyon I'm afraid you have to choose a wife this very week or your mother will hand over the Casa Moda Enterprises to your uncle!!!!"

"Damn it I knew she would!"

"And not only that, she'll cancel your credit cards and bank accounts since they belong to the company..."

"Alright I'll play his game now I just want to have fun..."

"It will be easy for you to get a wife an example is Laura my friend I'm afraid she wants to trap you..." Said Javier smiling

"Laura is fine! But not to marry me besides that's what my mother wants me to join that beggar I'm not going to give her the pleasure... This time my mother wins, but not completely..."

"What do you mean explain yourself?"

"JJ I see you are slow tonight... what Lyon means is that he will marry a stranger just to spite his mother..."

"Just tell me by when and I'll take care of everything!"

"No one in mind yet but I'll soon open one that will fall for that I have money to buy even a silly wife...."

"Cheers..."

"Cheers..."

On Scarlett Side

"Finally my Exit time..." I take off my ugly apron and get my chores skirt and my black knee-high boots the truth is I'm a girl who likes fashion I let my hair down and messed it up... Well I'll get my purse!

Williams' voice rang in my head...

"Scarlett wait and Lucia have you seen her?"

"No, I'm sure she's in the bathroom!"

"Wait, before you go, could you take these drinks to the VIP table, I can't find Lucia..."

"It's ok, no problem, I'll serve the VIP, and I'll go..."

"Alright! See you tomorrow!"

Scarlett went to the VIP table where she was drinking Lyon her friend and escort Javier and her lawyer JJ.

"Good evening..."

They all saw her from head to toe and Lyon noticed that it was the same girl who spilled liquor on her suit, but this one looked different... she was no longer wearing an apron and her light hair was loose... Scarlett

finished serving....

"Excuse me, enjoy your drinks!"

But as I tried to pull back I felt hands grab mine tightly and make me sit on his legs I looked him straight in the eyes and it was the idiot who told me to take my dirty hands off him....

"How dare you let go of me!"

"What's your name?"

"Let go of me what do you care... ah you hurt me" his strong hands squeezed my wrists causing me pain...

"Listen little girl I have a deal for you!"

"Listen I think you have the wrong person I don't know you let me go crazy!"

That made all three of them laugh...

"Stupid what are you doing Let go of me..."

I struggle as much as I can until he lets go of me and I fall to the floor....

They keep laughing at me what's wrong with these guys I got up quickly and went to the bar to get my wallet... to get out of there as fast as possible I think today the drunks are unbearable...

"Lyon?"

"I want you to follow her!"

JJ grabbed his phone and said "Follow the girl in black who just came out..."

Javier took the glass of whisky and toasted "Let's toast to the fact that your future wife is very beautiful..."

"She's a little girl, but she's perfect to entertain me for a while and above all to annoy my mother."

They laugh...

"Cheers..."

Scarlett took a taxi as she left and headed to her flat she hadn't realised she was being followed... after 20 minutes she arrived at her flat...she took out her keys and went inside... she went inside and closed the door took off her boots and took her phone when she opened her WhatsApp she saw she had a message from Jean...

"These days are so sad without you by my side..."

Sigh and I reply "Same for me! Today I didn't have a good day I miss you all the time..."

I finished writing and went to the shower! I took a bath and came out with Jean's sweatshirt, it was his favourite, he left it for me to wear to bed, it still has his smell... sweet and citrusy at the same time.

I put a towel in my wet hair and threw myself on the bed to try to sleep that fool from the canteen who thinks he's a lout and a bastard!

I swear that if it's not because I need the job I'll throw the drink again but this time in his face! Abuser!!! I tried to sleep and I did it

I fell like a stone... after a few seconds 3 men entered the room very carefully without making noise one of them approached me and covered my face with a handkerchief that I don't know what it contained but when I sucked it up it made me lose the knowledge ....

"Ready boss!"

"I'm going to send you the location!"

_________________________________________

On Lyon Side

I left the bar and went to the location shown on my mobile phone I arrived in less than 20 seconds Javier was driving my Lamborghini and I was the co-driver I really didn't like to drive when I was drinking... I assumed he was

from some neighborhood in the city I couldn't assume anything else about a simple waitress who also doesn't even do her job well...

We went into the flat pigsty and I saw her there so helpless with many eyes staring at her round *** that was only covered by a leather jacket of some brand unknown to me and that surely cost a pain but what caught my attention the most was that horrible men's t-shirt she was wearing......

"Check the whole place!"

I stood in front of the bed and i noticed that she had a mobile phone next to her, i took it and saw a conversation with her boyfriend

apparently he is far away perfect for me! Every time I elaborate in my mind a plan that i can't fail! i asked one of my men to elaborate a letter as corny as possible saying goodbye to everyone ....

"I want them to add to the letter that she fell in love with another man and left with him for good."

I smiled because I am acquiring a new toy now I am going to have fun....

Javier interrupted my thoughts...

"Lyon I found this!! It's some papers of the girl..."

"Is her birth certificate there?"

"Yes sir..."

"Perfect take the girl to the car with her belongings and after writing the letter leave everything as it was I don't want mistakes..."

"Javier and I went to the car Javier drove and I sat in the back with my new toy... I put her head resting on my legs and we left the car..."

"I'm already seeing my mother's face when she finds out that my wife is a **********..."

I smile and look at the girl, she has beautiful butts... I remove a strand of hair that was covering her face...

"I can't deny that she is very beautiful..."

After more than 3 hours of driving we arrived at my mansion I gave the order to take the girl to my room... I took my phone and called Jerry...

"JJ arrange everything for tomorrow?"

And I hung up... I gave the order to lock the girl up and that absolutely no one should bother me not even my mother I don't want to see her until after I accomplish my goal...

I am my head is spinning why am I here what's going on I head to the door I try

to open, it's locked what do I do? Why am I here like this with only my Jean's shirt covering my body I am so scared....

I feel some footsteps approaching then I hear voices I ran to the bed! I took some sheets and covered my body... the door opened and I was paralyzed when I saw that it was the man from the canteen...

"Who are you and what am I doing here?"

"That's two questions and I can only answer one of them."

"Don't come near me! Stay away from me?"

"Don't worry little girl, I'm not going to do anything to you, I just want to talk to you!"

"About what? I don't know you!"

"About something that suits you! If you help me you can earn a lot of money!!!"

"I don't need your money! Let me go, I beg you!"

"You won't leave until I've fulfilled my purpose then I'll let you go!"

"What are you talking about? I don't know you, what could you possibly need from me, I'm just a waitress!"

"That's what I like most about my plan that you're a little thing I just need you to be my wife!!!"

"What? You're crazy let me go you idiot..."

"You won't leave unless you help me I will pay you a lot of money just to sign a paper with me and after I achieve my goal you can leave?"

"You never hear me! I'll never marry you, besides I have a boyfriend..."

"I know! And I also know that the idiot is far away and you won't see him again for a long time..."

"How do you know that..."

"I have your phone number..."

"What! Give it to me right now..."

"I won't! only if you marry me tomorrow I'll give you your phone and it will only be a matter of days before you'll be free too otherwise you'll die because only then you'll get out of here because I won't risk a scandal

just to let you go..."

I smile ironically and I leave the room... locking it again...

Scarlett POV

"What is all this? why me!"

Thousands of questions came to my head and all without answers I must find a way to get out of here I look out the window I only manage to see a huge swimming pool... I try to open a balcony door it's locked I'm trapped what do I do jean my love I need you and I burst into tears throwing myself on that

bed...

"Lyon"

"If she doesn't accept we'll have to repeal it, only then would she sign the stupid..."

I said to Javier who is in my office with me...

"I'll get it today in case that girl doesn't accept! tomorrow you have to have a wife..."

"I know! that girl will sign in her 5 senses or drugged but she will sign..."

"Check everything you asked me! the girl is 19 years old, she will be 20 in a few months..."

"And her family?"

"The girl has no family her mother disappeared when she was 2 years old and her father passed away 7 years ago the girl grew up with the nuns of the convent of Manchester she became independent only a year ago..."

"What did you find out about her boyfriend?"

"What you know he went for 2 years to Birmingham for a project that guy won't be a problem..."

"Typical poor man's story!"

"Did you find out who is the girl that lives with her?"

"Yes sir she also grew up in the convent and she has two jobs one in the day and the other at night she is the one who could find the letter we wrote so she won't try to look for it everything is ready she can do with the

girl what she likes!"

"Another question?"

"Tell me!"

"What is the girl's name?"

"Scarlett sir, her name is Scarlett Johnson..."

I remained thoughtful...

"Alright go rest tomorrow I want everything ready I don't want any mistakes..."

"Don't open them sir!"

"I've told you a thousand times not to tell me sir, leave that to the others!"

"Alright Lyon, I'll see you in a little while, it won't be dawn for a while!"

I smile and sit down in my chair to think about it.

"You're in for a surprise, Mom!"

It's only hours away...

Laugh again...
