Taming the Devil (EDITED AND REVISED)

Chapter - 25

Stop it micheal.

"I wanted to see you." I stated.

"Why?" She asked. She looked cute.

" Because when i learned that you were in Australia there was this weird desperation inside me to see you. And coincidently i had one business meeting here so i had chance to see you." I said slightly happy. She had no idea how badly i wanted to see her after i saw her dancing. She had my pants tightening.

"Desperation to meet me?! Are you in your right mindset? As far as i can remember you always stayed thousand miles away from me. Aren't you the one who wanted to get rid of me once and forever?! And now that i'm out of your life you came searching for me." A pained look crossed her beautiful face.

I immidiately felt guilty but hid it behind my straight face.

"I'm not here to talk about past, i'm here to talk about yesterday." My anger rose as i recalled yesterday night. My fists balled up and jaw clenched. That asshole's face face flashed in front of my eyes and i wanted to punch him.

"Past includes yesterday too." She mocked me.

"Whatever. My point is, what were you doing with that man?" I growled trying to keep my anger in check and failing miserably.

Scarlett's frown deepened. "That's none of your business." She flicked it off like it's nothing. I was having hard time controlling and she was making it more hard.

"It is my business when you claim to love me and go out on date with other guys." I mocked her. My jaw clenching harder.

She was annoyed now clearly. "Hold up there sherlock, if you can remember i claimed to love you more that six years ago. I changed you know. And i certainly don't love you anymore. Back then in highschool i was naive and stupid. You and your bitch humiliated me in every possible way. You broke me. You insulted my feelings for you. So i don't find any reason to hold on to you."

Ouch that hurt. But she was right. I did really fuck up in highschool so i basically don't get say in this matter. But i was not going to back down.

"So you are admitting that your love for me was shallow enough to be forgotten in six mere years." I was trying to let the fact sink in. I don't know why but that made me feel little hurt.

"It wasn't shallow micheal. You don't know how much struggle i had to face to be what im today. Hell, you don't even know 1% of it. It took everything in me to forget you." She looked hurt, angry and lost.

But the fact that she was with that motherfucker still troubled me. I was still extremely pissed off.

"It was hard for you to forget so you went to other guys like a whore you are." I said it before i could think of saying sonething else.

She looked devastated. Tears filled her eyes. I immidiately regretted my words.

In a flash she was near my chair. I got up and towered her. Her left hand collided witth my right cheek. I was frozen while she was now crying.

"That's third time i slapt someone. First two were rewarded to rebeccah. Seriously micheal what do you want? You made my life hell back then so i moved out of Chicago. Scratch that, i moved out of USA all the way to sydney. You being super royal pain in my ass came all the way to australia, in my office and insulted my character again and you have audacity to laugh at my face. What do you think i'm micheal?! I'm not that stupid girl anymore whom you insulted however you wanted! Cannot for once you keep away?! A little bit love that i thought i had for you just vanished. Actually, thanks for reminding me that i WAS in love with narccissist, arrongant, rude, heartless asshole who knows no feelings. I'm done waiting for you micheal. You just gave me another reason to move on. And trust me jason is way more better than you in every sense. So pick up your bruised male ego and damaged self-dignity and get lost. Please."

I was shaking with anger, hurt, embarassment. How dare she hit me. But again i said things i shouldn't have. This is not the scarlett i knew. My old Scarlett was more naive and innocent.

The woman standing before me was fierce, confident. The innocence was still there but she definitely wasn't naive now.

"You heard her mate, get gone." Came that annoying voice which i despise the most.

Her boyfriend was standing there at entrance smirking at us.

If i stood there one more second i might kill him. So before i do anything reckless i leave her office.

I go straight to my hotel and call my pilot to get jet ready. I need to go back. I will think of something later about fixing up things with scarlett. And besides my workload is increasing day by day.

I returned back in chicago next day. Paparazzi are swarmed at the airport to annoy me their ridiculous questions.

After getting choked bu them i go home to meet my family. Its feels like it's been ages since i saw them.

Thoughts of her continue to annoy me rest of day.

Before going to bed i called chris and ask him to tell his brother to meet me in office tomorrow.

I have an idea on how to my beauty back. I smirked to myself. No matter how much you hate me this time you won't be getting away from me scarlett jones.
