Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

Scarlett looked up at Skyler. He smiled at her and said, “I’m very relieved that you’re gonna get married to Francis. So now you don’t need to worry about anything in the world.”

“You’d better be quick. I will open the door now!” Eve said with her hand on the handrail.

Scarlett and Skyler smiled at each other and felt that there was indeed nothing to be scared of anymore. They had, after all, suffered deeply for two decades. Now that was all over. They couldn’t dwell on the past; it was time to step into the future and embrace happiness.

“Go ahead, I’m ready!” she smiled, readying herself for the walk down the aisle.

As the door opened, Scarlett walked out with Skyler gripping her arm. He was smiling brightly. In his well-fitted tuxedo, he looked handsome and had managed to impress many single women in attendance.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

As for the groom, Francis had eyes only for his bride. He didn’t notice any of the guests and barely even registered the presence of his family.

In her white wedding dress, Scarlett walked towards Francis slowly. She was so excited and full of anticipation that she could barely even breathe.

As Scarlett walked down the aisle, a couple of cute kids carrying flowers followed close behind. They both wore garlands of pink and blue flowers around their necks, and their curly hair made them stand out. They looked adorable. Everybody knew that these were the Sandler twins.

The dress for the bridesmaid was more low-key, but she still looked stunning against the backdrop of the sparkling blue sea.

Skyler walked with Scarlett down the aisle and then handed her over to Francis when they reached the altar. Before Skyler left, he said to Francis, “I only have her. Don’t ever do anything to hurt her, you’ve gotta love her forever.”

Francis nodded and then turned to look at his bride again.

Now it was time for vows. Francis took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket; to Scarlett’s surprise, he had taken the time to write out personal vows, too!

“Scarlett, we’ve seen it all together. We’ve been through so many ups and downs, and it’s been a wild ride with you during these eight years. Although I caused you pain in the past, I want you to know that the future is all about making you happy. That’s all I want: to make you happy. I’m honored to be your husband.”

Scarlett teared up when she heard Francis’s heartfelt words. She could tell that he really meant it, and for a man who sometimes struggled to express his feelings, she was full of joy that he had managed to say such nice things to her in front of a huge audience.

“Francis Sandler, do you take Scarlett Morris to be your lawfully wedded wife?” the priest said after Scarlett had sobbed and told Francis that she loved him.

“Yes, I do!” Francis said readily.

“Scarlett Morris, do you take Francis Sandler to be your lawfully wedded husband?” the priest looked at the bride seriously and asked.

Instead of answering the question immediately, Scarlett paused a while and looked up at Francis.

Suddenly, Scarlett stood, got on her toes, and gave Francis a small kiss on the cheek. “Yes, I do,” she said and smiled brightly.

The warm and happy atmosphere touched everyone attending the wedding. They applauded as Francis lifted Scarlett’s veil, put his hand on her waist, and kissed her earnestly. Their union was now sealed. With that, doves were released into the sky, and everyone began applauding again.

After the ceremony was over, the party started. Eve had made a bet with Scarlett that Scarlett would burst into tears. But since Scarlett had only teared up, Scarlett was the one who won the bet.

“You are so heartless, you little bitch!” Eve said in anger as she grabbed Scarlett’s arm.

“Hah, just go and change into your lap dance outfit, alright? I told you not to mess with me, didn’t I?”

Eve was annoyed, but it was the day of her best friend’s wedding. Nothing could ruin this day for her– not even the fact that she had to perform a lap dance.

The bride and groom led the opening dance for the party.

As the light dimmed slightly, the live orchestra began to play the first waltz. Francis reached, grabbed Scarlett’s hand, and took her to the dance floor.

“Did I scare you today?” Scarlett looked up at him with a mischievous smile.

“Well… when you paused for a second, I think my heart stopped.” Francis smiled back and teased.

As the first waltz was over, the rest of the guests started to walk onto the dance floor in pairs.

Carlos and Brittany danced together while Chuck held Shannon in his arms and swayed to the beat. He enjoyed himself and couldn’t stop wondering whether or not he would be a father sometime in the future.

As the party was about to come to an end, Eve got on the stage and spoke into the microphone. She announced that it was time for her to perform a lap dance along with the other bridesmaids as the loser of a bet.

Scarlett took the lead in clapping her hands to express a warm welcome. Standing behind her, Francis asked, “What’s this show all about anyway?”

Scarlett winked at him and said, “Just wait and watch, why don’t you?”

Eve bent down to whisper something to the orchestra conductor, and the music suddenly changed from ceremonial to club-like. The atmosphere changed dramatically, too.

With strobing lights, the crew of ladies began performing their provocative lap dance. It was hardly appropriate for the event, but it seemed to loosen everyone up. People loosened their ties and formal pants and hopped onto the dance floor to join in. Before the attendees could even figure out what was happening, the wedding turned into a nightclub of sorts.

Since everyone had joined in, Eve decided that Scarlett couldn’t just sit on the sidelines anymore.

“Do you know how to dance?” Eve frowned as she dragged Scarlett onto the dance floor.

Scarlett just smiled and put her hands across her chest, and said bravely, “With you?”

Eve and Scarlett began dancing like a couple right then.

Afterward, the fireworks exploded in the sky, and because of that, everyone moved to the beach to enjoy the sight.
