Scarlett's POV

"What will you guys be having this evening?" The waiter asked while holding a note pad and pin in hand. I wasn't exactly dressed appropriate for dinner and it shocked me that David didn't really care.

Usually if I wasn't dressed properly for an event I'd never hear the end of him saying. "Your always making me look bad."

"Lady's first," David smiled.

I still needed a second to decide on exactly what I wanted to order. Everything looked so delicious, that I wanted to order the whole menu.

"Um...I'll have a bacon burger with seasoned fries and a ice tea please." I replied to the waiter, he wrote it down then turned to David.

"And you sir?"

"You don't have any steak with mashed potatoes?"

"Is it on the menu?" The waiter asked.

"No-

"Then I'm afraid we don't have it." He smiled.

My eyes shifted back an forth from David to the waiter. I was just waiting for David to blast off and loose his cool.

David chuckled. "What the hell I'll just have what she's having then, with a glass of wine."

"Alright, sit tight and I'll be back with your meals." He smiled.

David took out his phone and sent a quick text before placing it back in his pocket. I guess he knew it would bother me so he quickly clarified.

"It's my father he wants me to come back to work today."

"Well you have been out for a while." I replied.

"Yeah, so that I could spend more time with you. I've been away for so long you must of been so lonely." He grabbed my hand and held it in his, which felt weird.

But to avoid being awkward I just smiled in return.

Even though he's been very sweet it's just gonna take some getting used to I guess.

Some how my eyes left his and drifted off across the restaurant.

Wasn't exactly a five star place but it was very nice and had the best food.

Something told me to glance over towards the bar. Of course I seen my sister at the bar trying to talk some tall and handsome guy.

What I wasn't expecting though was for the tall and handsome guy to be Neil.

"Shit..."

"What?" David asked.

"Huh?."

"Did you say something?" He asked confused.

"Nope," I replied.

"Alright." He gave me a worried look and then took another look at his phone.

I nervously tucked a strand of hair back and looked at David. Trying to play it cool but I'm sure reality was all over my face by now.

Of course I was constantly looking back at Neil who was looking back at me.

And of course my heart was racing a mile a minute and all of our hot encounters were playing over in my head. It had been a while since I've seen him. Yes I was mad at him for being with my sister but I had no right. Since of course I'm the one who had been married. But jesus why did he have to be so damn good looking. I swear that man's good looks is the devils work.

"Something wrong?" David asked.

"W-What?" I asked fidgeting at my leather jacket.

"Your face is turning red, are you feeling alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine, it's just a little hot in here." I smiled fanning myself nervously.

"Do you need me to make them up the air conditioner?" He asked.

"No, it's fine I'll be just fine." My eyes then drifted back to Neil who had been at the bar talking to my sister.

Unfortunately she was doing most of the talking and he was ignoring her.

Only reason I knew this was because the mans eyes were still fixed on me of course.

I still couldn't figure there relationship out, he was always around her. Yet he'd look as if he wanted to run away.

The waiter then came back with our food and I instantly began to eat since the only thing I had was an ice coffee.

Also another thing I do when nervous is eat so I began to dig in like a mad person.

"So how's work?" David asked.

"It's fine, just getting back on track with things." I replied with a mouthful of lettuce.

David looked like he wanted to give me that disapproved look, but he faught it back.

"I hope I haven't been holding you back much, I know how important your job means to you." He replied sipping his ice wine giving me what felt like a fake smile.

My eyes studied him a while before I answered. David always thought my job was a joke, so it's confusing how he can say that so easily.

"Not at all really, I mean I've managed to already get all of my grading done."

"I'm glad babe," He replied pulling his phone back out for a text.

My eyes then went back to Neil.

He slid something to my sister and stood up, now making his way to our table.

Oh fuck...

"What do you keep glancing at?" David asked annoyed turning his head to look.

"No wait I-

"Hey beautiful, is pencil dick here bothering you?" Neil replied making some guy at the next table let out a loud chuckle.

Davids eyes beamed at Neil extremely annoyed at this point.

"Drunk again I see...is alcohol all that you care about brother?"

"Actually I care about a lot of things." Neil replied while looking right at me or rather right through me.

Feeling my temperature rise some more I picked up my glass and chugged my ice tea.

I should of got liquor instead...

David stood up out his seat grilling Neil down in disapproval. "You need to leave..."

Neil picked up Davids glass of wine and finished the rest of it.

"No problem...but she's coming with me."

My cheeks turned a bright red.

I could literally feel Davids anger radiating right off him. Things were about to get ugly and fast.

Next thing I know David throws a punch at Neil.

"David no!" I yelled.

Neil grabbed David by the collar of his shirt, and repeatedly started punching him. It got so bad that I'm pretty sure he was trying to kill him.

"Neil that's enough!" I yelled pulling him off David.

"You just wait until I tell father." David replied while wiping blood from his busted lip.

"David enough, I'm taking him home." I replied.

David gave me a annoyed glare almost as if he knew something I didn't.

"He's an adult and can fend for himself, sit down." He demanded.

"Can't you see that he's drunk, you're not really insisting that he drives like that?"

"His broke ass doesn't even have a car let him get on the bus or something." He replied.

How could he be so heartless to his own brother?

"He's your brother, you can at least pretend to care about his safety!" I yelled.

David let out sarcastic laugh and rolled his eyes. "You know what, whatever I'm out of here." David beamed picking up his jacket.

"Where are you going?" I asked not really sure why I even cared at this point. Instead of responding he ignored me of course and walked out.

I should of known this was all for show, he's never going to change the way he treats me.

"Come on I'm taking you home."

"He's cheating on you," Neil randomly replied.

"Do you have proof?" I asked.

"What?" He asked.

"Unless you can prove it then I don't care, now let's go." I began walking ahead of him not wanting to hear his rebuttal.

"Scarlett." Neil shouted while running after me.

I stayed quiet for a while letting his words process. I already had this assumption deep in my gut but I chose to ignore it.

Maybe I was in denial...

If he was cheating though why not just leave and be with someone else, why was he still sticking around?

We're talking about a guy with a high reputation, worth millions of dollars with multiple bank accounts. He could be with literally anyone he wished to be with.

Why settle for a high school teacher?

Something else had to be making him want to stay with me. An to me that was because maybe deep down he did still have feelings for me.

"Scarlett hes playing games with you, he set this whole thing up."

"Set what up?" I asked confused while pulling out my car key's.

Once we were both inside and I began driving he replied but the answer he replied with nearly made me crash.

"Our affair,"

"Yeah right...that's impossible." My heart was literally pounding.

"It's true, your marriage was never a real marriage. It was a business deal, he knew he could never leave you willingly so he set you up to have an affair."

"Look if you're trying to ruin my good relationship with my husband now because you miss the sex between us that's really low."

Neil let out a loud laugh. "Your good relationship...scarlett are you serious?"

"He wouldn't go through that extent just to end our marriage when all he has to do is sign a peice of paper." I replied in disbelief.

"Wow...I can't believe after everything this man has done to you, you still find a way to defend him." He chuckled.

He's right I shouldn't be defending him, but if what he is saying is true. I don't know exactly how I'd be able to take it. That would mean I wasted two years of my entire life for nothing.

"Why do you even care aren't you and my sister fucking now anyways?" I beamed.

"God no, only reason I showed up with her that night was because your husband made me."

I raised an eyebrow in question. "Since when do you allow him to make you do things?"

"Valid point but it was more so him and my father blackmailing me into it but I don't care anymore. I'm not letting them control me anymore."

Silence filled the car until we reached his place.

He reached over and placed his hand on mine which caught me off gaurd.

It stayed silent.

He lowered his head and let out a sigh.

"I miss you," 

"Neil...you're drun-

He leaned over an smashed his lips against mines nearly sending my whole body into flames.

Next thing I know my jacket is being pulled off. His hand roaming around my waist to pick me up and place me on top of his lap.

He was hard as a fucking rock...

"I hate watching you play house with that asshole, you should belong to me." He groaned.

"Neil we can't do thi-."

Shutting me up he kissed me once again gripping a fist full of my hair to hold me in place.

He forced a tongue inside my mouth causing my mind to over power my you know what.

I kissed him back but even though I missed his touch, it just didn't feel right with him being drunk.

"Neil stop we can't, you'r-"

"Why not, you need to get back to your husband? He's probably fucking his assistant as we speak."

I'm not sure why that got me upset but all I wanted was to just get out the car.

I angrily reached for the door and opened it only for Neil to slam it shut.

"Let me out!"

"What is it about him huh?"

I pulled the door open again,

Just for him to slam it shut again.

I was getting heated now.

"LET GO!"

"Why do you act like your marriage is still worth fighting for?"

"Because I can he's my husba-"

"YOUR CHEATING HUSBAND!" He screamed making me jump.

"Neil let me out of this god damn car."

"You act like his little puppy dog when all he does is treat you like sh-"

My hand instantly whipped against his cheek leaving a red hand mark.

"Go to hell Neil!"

My eyes filled with tears and I didn't know why. Maybe it was because I felt everything he had said was true.

Maybe I've been too naive.

I made my way out the car and held the door open so that he could too make his exit.

"Scarlett I'm sorry," He apologized.

"Goodnight Neil," I replied getting in my car and slamming the door shut.

Tears began to fill my eyes and I began driving back home.

Back to my husband...

Back to my meaningless marriage...

Back to emptiness...

...

As I pulled in the drive way I received a phone call.

Davids number showed up on the screen so I answered.

"Hello?"

"Don't even bother coming home tonight."

"Excuse me?"

"I'm sick of your games scarlett, you wanna be some little whore that's on you." He replied hanging up.

My heart sunk.

Did he really just say that to me?

Stepping out my car I made my way inside.

I was about to begin yelling my head off but the sounds of moaning through me off.

No...he couldn't actually be?

Was this asshole actually fucking his assistant?

I waisted no time to run upstairs.

Someone was indeed moaning there head off. Who ever he was fucking he sure was working one on her.

I was so mad I didn't even know what to say.

My assumptions for 2 years are finally crystal clear.

He's a cheating, lying, manipulating asshole.

The asshole seen me watching him pound into her from behind and didn't even care.

How heartless can someone be?

He finally stopped and grabbed a suit case and through it at me.

Nearly knocking me over.

"You can see your way out."

"I'm not going anywhere." I replied.

"Can't you see he doesn't want you anymore?" His assistant replied rolling over in our bed.

"I got this babe," David responded.

"Babe?" I laughed.

Truth be told I had to laugh because if I didn't I'd burst into tears.

"Oh cut the bullshit, you don't think I know you've been fucking my brother?"

My heart was pounding.

"You've been real busy...fucking him night after night. Even while I was sleeping."

"You're an asshole, clearly you're no different than me. Fucking that bitch in our bed?!"

"Why are you still here?" He replied pulling on his pants.

"I live here..." I replied in confusion.

"Not anymore." He replied grabbing the suitcase and my arm violently.

"No!" I replied pulling away from him.

I guess I struck a nerve because he slapped me.

I was in shock.

I couldn't believe what was happening.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me down the stairs so hard that I fell but he continued to pull me.

I couldn't hold back anymore and I began sobbing.

This wasn't the guy I knew...

I guess I never really knew him though.

I tried fighting him off but his grip was to tight. Each step I hit hurt worse than the next.

Once we reached down stairs he opened the door and threw me out.

"I should of never married you. You're weak, broke and a loose whore. Neil can have you, he always takes my left overs anyways." He slammed the door in my face leaving me out in the cold.

My knees were bleeding and I had carpet burnt to the fullest.

One of my heels came off when he was pulling me downstairs so now I only had one shoe.

Neil was right.

I was so mad.

I let this happen.

I've been in denial for years, ignoring all the red flags.

I hopped inside my car.

Even if I told my father about this David has all proof of me cheating with Neil.

My word wouldn't even matter.

I didn't care about anything anymore.

I just wanted it all to be over.

Even if it meant taking my own life...

A/N

I know I've been gone for a while, I had a very traumatizing birth.

Which led to a very complicated recovery.

Even though it might have been alot I still enjoyed it and I'd do it all over again.

He's now two months and I've been having so much fun with him.

I'm sorry if I haven't been updating as often as you'd like.

I can't say I'll update often but I'll try my best.

What do you think is going to happen next?
