The Scarlet Luna

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

Running I kept on running endlessly away from the force that had been chasing me.

I can't figure out what it is but it is scary

All I can see is its blue eyes coming towards me and-

snap I wake up covered in sweat breathing heavily

Seeing its 6:50am I get up and take a shower..

I wear my leggins with a purple tank top and a button up plaid shirt leaving the buttons undone

I comb my blonde hair letting it flow on my back then grabbing my back pack and going down to the kitchen to grab breakfast.

Did I tell you about myself no? Well my name is Scarlet Reyes I live with my Mom in a little town Baja California.

My Dad or sperm donor as i call him left my Mom aftter a one night stand and now its only me and her against this world.

I am only fifteen and in my tenth grade.

"Morning mother" I said hugging my mom from behind while she was busy preparing breakfast for us before she leaves for work.

"Morning my angel how was your night." She Kiss my forehead and continued with preparing breakfast. While I sat on one of the stools surrounding the island.

"My night was good." I lied I didn't want her to worry about me she had enough on her plate to add worrying about my stupid weird dreams

After she was done she placed a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon with a glass of juice.

"Thanks" I muttered

Today is the first time in years well not literally years maybe days since I had such nice breakfast.

I always wake up late and end up grabbing a granula bar eating it on my way to school.

Today I was thirty minutes early just enough time for a good breakfast.

After I was done with breakfast I quickly said good bye to my Mom and was on my way to School.

Oak Tree High. A school which was divided into two groups the popular and the nobodys also called the invisible.

I was one of the invisible though I had two friends

Skylar Nevaro and Jenna Harries.

Entering the school hall way while ignoring the stares I got from the populars I went straight to my locker grabbing my books and going over to first period chemistry.

Mr Blanco was explaining something about isomers and before I could catch what it was I found my self dozing off and soon falling asleep.

I am sure Mr Blanco didn't even notice since I sit at the way back of the class with my two best friends who I share this class with.

I see those familiar blue eyes again.

"Please dont hurt me" I whimper but the figure keeps coming closer and closer until.

"Wake up scar." I felt someone shake me.

I opened my eyes to see sky looking at me with those hazel eyes of hers.
