Pampered by the Demon

For a moment, Mike was seriously considering jumping off the cliff with Scarlett.

Only in that way, she would never be able to say other men’s names.

Yet, he couldn’t. That was why he had asked Scarlett to get out of the car and leave her there. He was fuming and filled with jealousy. If she had been with him, he might not be able to control himself.

“No matter how charming and outstanding Richard is, he is not my man. You are! And you have to apologize for doubting me. Otherwise, I will change my Line name to ‘My boyfriend is a dirtbag!'”

Mike was surprised. He looked at Scarlett with confusion. “What did she mean by that?” he thought.

Scarlet sensed his gaze and nodded.

“I have two accounts. You know I can log on to both of them with Abraham Group’s phone simultaneously. I will change my profile picture to your picture, and change both my Line name to it! I will let everyone know what you did!”

Scarlett felt like a badass when she said those words.

“No, you won’t!”

“I will if you don’t apologize! Do you think you can get away with it just because you returned and said a few words? No way!”

She pressed her index finger on his chest and added, “This is a country full of gentlemen. You take me out, and you don’t even pretend to be one?”

First, he had left Scarlett in there, alone. And then he came back, and almost killed them both! Though he wasn’t a real dirtbag, he acted like one that night.

“You started it!” Mike retorted. His mood was shifted because of her words.

‘Did she call me her man?’ Mike wondered. He saw the words in her Line messages, yet she never in real life.

“I started it? I just mentioned the guy’s name, and you went on a rampage! Why are you acting like this? I didn’t say anything when you were with other women before, remember?”

That was kind of true. Scarlet hadn’t said anything when Mike had been with other women. She was just too busy getting jealous and furious!

“That was different!” Mike answered. Nothing had happened between him and those women.

“No! They are the same! If you apologize, I will forgive you. If you don’t, then I’m done with you!”

“Don’t ever say that! I won’t allow it!” Mike’s expression turned cold, as well as his voice.

“You can’t control me! I want to be with someone who appreciates me and apologizes to me!”

Sometimes, Scarlett couldn’t understand her heart.

“How can I like a man like Mike? Moody and too proud!” Scarlett wondered.

“You have to kill me if you want to be with Richard!”

Mike was pissed. He grabbed her by her shoulder and started kissing her hard.

A steep and deep cliff was below them.

They were kissing on that bottomless abyss.

All of a sudden, Mike tasted something salty.

He released Scarlett and noticed the tears that were streaming down her face.

“I hate you so much right now!” Scarlett punched Mike slightly and murmured.

Mike’s chest tightened when he saw her cry.

“That’s not something new! You hated me ever since we got married!”

At that moment, Mike thought that he could never replace Richard in Scarlett’s heart.

Scarlett slapped Mike on the face. Mike held her hand and glared at her with shock.

“You are such a jerk!” Scarlett yelled.

And she began to cry.

Mike didn’t know how to react. He was the jerk? She was the one that threatened him!

“How am I a jerk?”

“You always do this! You always storm off when I’m in the middle of a conversation and never give me the chance to explain it. Even the convicts that are sentenced to death will be given the time to defend themselves! Why don’t you ever listen to me?”

She shouldn’t let him go with a slap. She wanted to bite his head off at the moment.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Austin pursed his lips.

Hearing her praising other men almost drove him to the verge of murder.

“I said Richard was a sweet guy, and you were cold, but I wasn’t…”

“Don’t mention his name!” before Scarlett could finish her sentences, Mike yelled.

The anger that he had just suppressed was about to erupt. At that moment, Mike really wanted to hold her in his arms and jump off the cliff so that she could stop talking.

“Why don’t you want to talk this through! Just because you forbid me to mention his name doesn’t mean you can ignore him! Richard exists. You have to acknowledge that. Your high IQ doesn’t math with your low EQ!”

“Shut up!”

Scarlett didn’t know what came over her. She just stood up when she saw his fumed face.

“Let me finish my sentence, or I will jump off the cliff! I mean it!”

‘Is she threatening me?’ Mike ground his teeth and wondered.

“Come here!” he said as peacefully as he could.

“No! You are not the only one with balls! I can be crazy too!”

Scarlett noticed Mike was worried about her, and that was somewhat satisfying.

Mike was crazy, and she had to act crazier when she was with him.

She had to take this opportunity to make some things clear!

Austin couldn’t believe what Scarlett said.

She was not frightened like last time, nor acted like she was afraid of him.

Instead, she was forcing Mike to listen to her with her life! That was crazy, even for him.

“I hate you! I hate you when you are like this!”

His eyes darkened. He already knew Scarlett hated him. She didn’t have to repeat.

Every time Scarlett said she hated him, he felt like someone was stabbing him in the heart with a sharp dagger.

“I already know that,” he answered with his deep voice.

“You know nothing! You don’t get to talk now! Just shut up! If you interrupt me again, I will jump off the cliff and haunt you for eternity!”

Scarlett was smiling inside! It was working!

Mike was shocked by her words and behavior and stopped talking. Scarlett realized she was winning.

Scarlett looked into Mike’s eyes! She ignored the height that was making her shiver. Scarlett had to talk this through with him. She had to let Mike know that she had feelings too, and when he hurt her, he had to pay.

“I hate you when you never listen to me! You always assume the worst of me! Yeah, I mentioned Richard earlier, and I admit I liked him before. But that was in the past! I am with you now! You are the one that I like!”

The word ‘I like’ echoed in the air and melted Mike’s heart.

“But…”

“Shut up!” Scarlett shouted at Mike before he could finish his sentence. It felt amazing to yell at him.

“Everyone has a past. I can’t change my past with Richard. Did it ever accrue to you that if I can erase him from my memory that easily, maybe I will do the same to you in the future?

“I won’t let you,” he gritted his teeth and answered.

“That depends! If you keep doing the thing you did today, I can’t promise anything! Richard and I are just friends now. I didn’t do anything shady with him since we got married. Why can’t I mention his name in front of you?”

Mike snorted, but his expression was not as stiff as before.

“That is dangerous. Come here,” Mike said gently.

The place that Scarlett was standing was startling him.

“No, I’m not finished! You have to hear me out!” Scarlett shouted. She had to say some things out loud. Some things that she was holding back for a long time and never dared to tell him.

“You have to promise me a few things, or I won’t like you again!” Scarlett demanded.

“Don’t ever say something like that!”
