Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

Francis wasn’t able to see Scarlett off at the airport because of his injured leg. As a result, Chuck took on this honorable mission to go to France with Scarlett and help her arrange for a new apartment.

Coincidentally, Eve had gone back to France as well. Although Scarlett had no idea about how she convinced Damon to let her go, she was still pleased about this news.

Chuck arranged for Scarlett to live in a small but exquisite building. It was a nice neighborhood with many cute cafes and bistros, and there was hardly any crime in the area either. Since the place was out in a first-tier suburb, however, Chuck had to figure out how to get Scarlett a chauffeur who could take her back and forth from school.

“I’m fine taking public transport, Chuck. It’s not that long of a ride, and the scenery is nice. I don’t need a chauffeur right now, it would just be troublesome rather than helpful…” Since she had arrived in Paris along with Chuck, Scarlett had been stressed out by the various people floating around her. They had all been sent by Francis. She felt like she was being watched every second of every day and had no freedom whatsoever.

However, Chuck just ignored her and said, “Well, either you accept the fact that you’re about to get a chauffeur, or you can start packing up and get ready to get back to America.”

“Is this what Francis asked you to do? Tell me how to live my life?” she asked.

“Of course not. I volunteered. You are always making trouble, so you gotta be watched closely.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Once she was three months pregnant, Scarlett’s belly started to bulge for real. She had to get rid of her skinny jeans and opt for loose skirts and dresses now. That was the only stuff she still fit into.

One day, Edith inadvertently said, “Scarlett, have you gained some weight recently? Look at you, you have a bulging belly now!”

“Well, I’m carrying a baby now, so…” Scarlett replied as she pointed at her bulging belly. After that, she forked some spaghetti into her mouth.

When Edith heard that, she was stunned and started to stammer. What sort of boyfriend did Scarlett have anyway?

Eve just patted her shoulder and said, “Don’t panic, she’s just having a baby with her ex-husband. No big deal.”

“What!” Edith screamed out. Scarlett and Eve covered their ears.

Once Scarlett made it to the five-month mark, Francis decided to take a trip to France to see her. Scarlett got into her house, she saw him reading the newspaper on the sofa. Instead of greeting him, Scarlett rushed to the dining room to pour herself a big glass of warm water and drank it up.

“It’s too hot in here!” Scarlett exclaimed.

She really couldn’t stand the hot and humid weather at all.

Francis folded up the newspaper and walked over to hold her from behind.

“It’s too hot, Francis. Would you stop holding me?” Scarlett said.

“Well, blame yourself for being so damn seductive,” Francis whispered into her ear. “You’re the one bringing the heat.”

Scarlett slapped his hands away from him and turned around, “I have something to tell you.”

“Wait a moment,” Francis said. After that, he headed for the bathroom.

When he came back to her from the bathroom, he had a wet handkerchief in his hand, and he started wiping her sweat carefully with the handkerchief.

“Rub my back! It’s really hot!” Scarlett said as she turned around and pointed at her back.

Francis just stopped and said, “You’d better take a shower first. You really sweat a lot.”

Scarlett took the handkerchief from him and said, “It’s slippery in the bathroom. I’m scared that I will slip and fall over.”

“Well, I’m here now. I can protect you.” Francis joked.

“Oh yeah? How’s your leg doing now, Mr. Strong?”

“Yeah, everything is fine. Physical therapy has been going really well, and I’ve been making strides. So you don’t have to worry about anything. I’m all good to go. I can indulge in intense physical activity without any problems…” Francis winked at her.

Scarlett embraced Francis tightly and kissed his cheek.

“What were you trying to say again?” Francis suddenly asked while they were hugging.

Scarlett pushed Francis away and said, “Well, last month I had an ultrasound. And the doctor told me that I’m carrying two babies now!”

Francis was speechless and full of excitement. “Oh, my babe!”

“Hey, you are not freaked out, right?” Scarlett said as she sat down next to him and patted his face gently.

Francis was overwhelmed by this huge surprise, and he didn’t know how to express his feelings right then. He held Scarlett’s hands tightly and looked at her with his eyes, shining bright like a galaxy in the darkness, and said excitedly, “Babe, that’s great news! Freaked out? I’m fucking ecstatic!”

Scarlett was surprised to see Francis acting like this because he was generally good at keeping his composure. Although he expressed his anger frequently and fully, he was rarely so effusive with his joy.

“Do you know how exhausting it is to carry two babies? And it’s very dangerous, too….”

“Oh, my precious babe, I’m so lucky to have you. Were you waiting to tell me in person?” he asked as he embraced her.

“Of course, I was hoping to freak you out.” Scarlett chuckled and sat on his thighs.

As Scarlett put her hands around his neck and WITH her head on his should, she said, “Francis, I’m kind of scared if I’m being honest. After all, there are two babies.”

At the thought of the pain her mother must have suffered when she had her and Skyler, Scarlett shuddered.

“Maybe you could just get a Caesarean section this time, what do you think? It might be less painful for you.” Francis said.

Scarlett shook her head and said, “I will do as the doctor says, I suppose.”

“Well, there are still two months left before we go back to America. We can cross that bridge when we get to it, right? Two babies… I’m so happy to hear that! I feel like I’m dreaming.”

Scarlett touched his beard and smiled, “Well, I have another piece of exciting news to tell you. We have two baby girls.”
