CHAPTER 44: Sincerity

  Scarlett's POV

  Was I...just a bet for them?

  I knew something was wrong from the start. Their words, their actions and their passion...they made it seem so effortlessly true to believe.

  I held back a scoff.

  How easy was it for them to manipulate me?

  So...it was all a lie after all.

  The moment I closed my eyes, I could hear their flirtatious voices in my head and their smiles that could brighten up even the darkest of nights.

  All those moments we shared with each other, other than the sex, at the ski resort and in moments of privacy...that was all a lie too.

  How easy was it for handsome men like them to get women like me?

  And in the end...my head was right, wasn't it? It had won the battle the moment I realized I was 'Just a bet'.

  Tears roamed in my eyes, threatening to fall.

  Suddenly, it all came together.
