Forty- eight.
Dressed in an mesh neck high long sleeve all black bodycon jumpsuit, she walked into the Ontario's building, strutting like she owned the place, with her head held high. She had only one mission now that she was back after the long hiatus. To reclaim her place as Scott's fiancè and rightful woman.

"We can have the latest designs for the exhibition given to the jewelers to start craft." Scott said to the board members who nodded in unison. "And after that we—"
He was immediately interrupted by the noisy entrance of Amanda.
"Hey there, Sorry I'm late. Traffic was as terrible." Amanda smiled walking up to a seat beside Scott. She placed her bag on the table before she sat comfortably like a queen. "So tell me, what did I miss?" She did a hair flip before turning to the others who were only staring at her.
Chad who glanced at Scott who was frowning deeply at Amanda. "Did you lose your way or something?" He asked, turning to Amanda.
Amanda made a dry provoking laugh before turning to Chad. "For those who haven't heard. I, Amanda Chester is the the new head of all projects starting today. Further questions should be directed to designing department.... Capeesh?"
Betty, Scott's assistant gave Amanda one last look before turning to Scott. "Sir, I think we should..." Her voice diminished when Scott raised his hand to silence her.
"Meeting adjourned." Scott spoke firmly. It didn't take up to three seconds, everyone got up to leave.
"Scott?" Chad who stood beside Scott asked him. "You good?"
"Yeah." Scott nodded.
Chad and Betty walked out of the office leaving Scott with Amanda who was admiring her perfectly gelled manicured nails.
"Is this how you greet your ex fiancè?" Amanda asked in a taunting voice when she noticed Scott was about leaving.
Scott turned to look at her but didn't utter a word.
"You know," she got up, took some steps towards Scott and faced him squarely. "I didn't expect a warm welcome either." She smiled wickedly.
"If you're trying to make me mad, try harder." Scott tucked his hands into his pants pockets, keeping a rigid face on.
Amanda chuckled... "Oh I will Scott, I will." She made a thinking face while placing a finger on her chin, intentionally showing off the engagement ring Scott had given her. "Oh by the way, how's Anna?" She smirked at him expecting a reaction from him.
Scott shrugged his shoulders. "What do you think?" He chuckled lightly. "I don't usually talk about my relationship but I've got to tell you, she's everything you ever want to be."
Amanda laughed richly. "Yeah... Poor Anna. Have you told her yet? Have you?" She mocked him.
Scott narrowed his eyes at her. "Why would I do that? We both know that until the paternity test results proves positive beyond reasonable doubt, you have nothing on me."
"Go ahead Scott, make as many tests as you like. Fact is gonna always be the same." Amanda smiled. "You should be excited, you're gonna be a daddy."
He clenched his fist, trying to suppress the anger he was feeling.
"I'll rain hell on you Scott, I'll take everything you ever cared about. Starting with this." She threw her hands in the air and gave a hysteric laugh. "Isn't this great?! I practically own 2 percent of the Ontario Holdings? I'm a mudafuking shareholder and there is nothing you can do about it."
"Not for long so enjoy it while it lasts." Scott said, proceeding for the door.
"Just so you know, I won't back down from a fight, not anymore. I'll hurt you, your family, your Anna... And that girl... Your daughter."
Scott turned to Amanda with murderous eyes. In a flash, he grabbed her by the arm and pinned her against the wall. "I swear to God, you fucking talk about my daughter one more time, it'll take angels to spare your life." Scott boomed with anger.
Amanda didn't seem to flinch at his threat. Instead she smiled, knowing she just found his Achilles heel.
"And don't you even think of going near Anna. Just like my kid, I snap easily when it comes to her. Threaten one more person I love and you're 6 ft underground, you got that?" He said tightening his hand around her arm.
Amanda frowned at him as she had never seen him as mad. "You hurting me is hurting my baby." She reminded him.
Scott relaxed his hand as he glanced down at her stomach. "Stay away from me." He said, seething through his teeth before storming out.
He walked into his office and the first thing he laid his hand on was a vase which he flung across the room.
"Scott!" Chad yelled in shock.
Scott who didn't notice Chad, turned to him. "Can someone fucking tell me HOW THE HELL AMANDA GOT INTO THE COMPANY?!"
"What the hell Scott?! Jesus fucking Christ!" Chad looked at the shattered glasses on the floor.
He closed his eyes for a second or two trying to regulate his breathing. "I'm... I'm sorry." He said as soon as he opened his eyes. "I'm sorry."
"You should be! What the fuck man? You need to calm down." Chad, his cousin, frowned with worry at Scott.
"Chad I'm really sorry. I don't know what came over me but I lost it." Scott ran his fingers down his hair. He was sincerely apologizing.
"This isn't the first time Amanda is making a scene, why are you so worried? Look what you did to the poor vase."
"Let's not mention her name okay? It just makes me angrier." Scott said, walking towards his desk.
"Uh-uh, nope!" Chad shook his head in disagreement. "You're not working. You can't work under stress. You have to relax first before you destroy our hard earned project." He said pointed at the papers on Scott's desk.
"I'm fine."
"You're not." Chad frowned even more.
"I said I'm fine." Scott looked at Chad.
"And I said you're not. You need to cool off."
Scott sighed. "That bitch!" He said, sprawling onto his swivel chair with his hand rubbing his forehead.
"You can't let Amanda get to you, come on man, it's just Amanda." Chad told him calmly.
"Don't say her name... Please... I beg you." Scott groaned. Hearing her name made him nauseous.
"Still... You have to tell Anna about this." He advised Scott. "She'll be extremely hurt if she found out from someone else.
Scott scoffed as he sat up to look at his cousin. "How do you tell the woman you love that you got someone else pregnant huh?"
"We don't know if the pregnancy is yours or not man. Besides, Anna would understand that you and Amanda are history, that you didn't mean for it to happen. Yes, you were irresponsible but whatever happened between your ex is long over."
"Did you say understand? She's not even going to listen to what I have to say! She'll leave me, possibly take Isabelle from me." Scott argued. "I have to wait until the paternity test result is out before I can tell Anna everything."
"And you're sure it's going to be negative...." Chad asked him.
"Of course. I wasn't stupid enough to leave a used rubber laying around so that bitch could get herself inseminated neither did I sleep with her without protection." He was absolutely sure that Amanda was back to ruin his life.
Chad sighed softly. "I wish I wasn't the only one that knew this. Maybe you should inform Daniel about—"
"No." Scott frowned at the idea. "He might tell Anna or the whole family."
"I don't think so."
"Still no." He shook his head.
"Told you your playboy attitude was gonna get you in trouble." Chad said to Scott.
"Still doesn't change anything." He said, getting up.
"Now where are you going?" Chad asked him.
"Somewhere I can cool off a bit." Scott said as he fixed his necktie.
"That would be?" Chad quirked his brow.
"I'm going to see Anna." Scott smiled for the first time.
"Oh, then you could tell her about everything." Chad suggested.
"Not funny Chad." He rolled his eyes before leaving. "If Daniel asks where I'd gone, tell him to heaven." He said walking away, leaving Chad.

It's been two weeks since Amanda appeared back in his life, claiming he was the father of her child. Of course she was only back for more of what she could get from Scott. It hasn't been easy hiding the truth from Anna and now that Amanda came with full force, trying to make her stamp in Ontarios Holdings. She wasn't just a gold digger, she was a damn psycho. But Scott couldn't let her ruin his relationship with Anna, he just couldn't.
"And Anna?" He asked as soon as he saw Naraya behind the counter at AnStin Bakery and Restaurant.
"Kitchen." Naraya smiled at him with a salute.
Scott headed for the kitchen. When he entered he saw Anna with some other chefs talking. He waited for her to notice him but she was too busy directing, so he decided to give her a call. Anna excused herself and finally picked.
"Look straight ahead." Scott told her.
A confused Anna frowned. "What?" She looked around before looking straight ahead. "Hey!" She waved happily at Scott.
He blew her a kiss, beckoning on her to come before hanging up. Anna running up to him, throwing her arms around him as he lifted her off her feet, twirling her as him arms were wrapped around her body.
"You smell fantastic." Anna commented.
"You smell ravishing." Scott said, placing her gently on her feet.
She giggled at the compliments. "What brings you to AnStin?" She asked, giving him a tippy toes kiss.
"What, I can't visit my girlfriend here anymore?" He smirked, admiring her face. God, how did she keep getting prettier everyday?
"You come here literally everyday." She reminded him.
"Well, she seems to always be surprised to see me here even though I come often." Scott told her.
Anna laughed heartily. "I love seeing you here. Oh, silly me!! What would like to eat?" She asked him.
"Depends on what's on the menu. Can I have you?" Scott smirked mischievously.
Anna's eyes widened. "You're such a dirty man Mr Scott Ontario." She playfully slapped his arm.
"Just for you. Tell me, are you busy?" Scott looked at the other chef who pretended to not care what he and Anna were doing.
"Well since you're here, I could un-busy myself." She gave him a flirtatious wink.
"Come on, let me take you out for lunch." Scott jerked his head towards the door.
"Another date?" She beamed with a smile.
"More than that." His eyes shone down at her.
Anna turned around. "Jackie, I'm gonna step out. Can you handle the restaurant while I'm gone?" She asked as she took off her chef vest.
"Take as much time as you need." Jackie nodded, assuring Anna.
"Alright lover boy," she said as he headed out with Scott. "What restaurant this time?"
"I was thinking Middle East cuisine." He said throwing his arm over her shoulder as he pulled her closer to his body.
"Let's try that." Anna agreed.
They both got outside and Scott's driver opened the backseat of the car for them.
Anna took out her phone and started texting. While Scott kept glancing at her.
"Who are you texting?" He asked as soon as his driver started moving.
"My client. Remember the one who is having a vampire themed party, we're still talking about the cake decor because she can't make up her mind yet. It's exhausting but as usual, customers are always right." Anna smiled but keeping her hands and eyes on her keyboard.
"Don't you think work should be put for later?" He rubbed her bare lap up and down. "For now let's keep work aside." Scott told her.
"Oh I will, just have to answer this." Anna assured him as she placed the phone over her ear. "Good afternoon Miss Jules. Yeah, I just sent you a text on WhatsApp." Anna said to her client when she felt Scott's warm lips meet with her neck. "Sure." She bit her lip, suppressing the desire to moan when Scott sucked on her collarbone. "I-I have a jotter." Anna stammered, taking out a small book and pen from her purse. "Okay... Yeah... Pink? I will suggest we should try out red for that part." Anna tried to shy away from Scott's touch while penning down into her small jotter.
Scott felt her shiver as he made her weak to his advances. "Get off the phone." He muttered against her delicate skin while his finger crawled sensually up between her legs as he pushed up her dress.
Anna was finding it hard to concentrate as Scott's fingers slided higher, touching her center. She froze, gasped and whimpered. "Miss... Miss Ju-Ju-Jules..." She stuttered. "I can't... Oh." Anna tapped on the hang up icon. "Sc-Scott..." She moaned his name.
He looked up at her, watching her tremble. "Look at you." He teased her, planting an open kiss into her mouth before pulling his fingers away.
Anna's ragged breathing slowed down and she looked at Scott who was only an inch away from her face. She frowned slightly. "But I was about to..." She looked disappointed.
He silenced her with a kiss. "Sorry love, I love torturing you because you make the cutest faces when you're on the edge."
"It's not fair." Anna held his arm.
"Come here." He said, pulling her unto his lap and she straddled him. "God I love you too much." Scott said, trying to remove her hair from her face while staring at her plum lips. "What do you want?"
"You." Anna rocked herself forth and back.
"But we are in a moving car." He chuckled, pulling her in for a kiss. "Do you want me to cancel lunch?"
She suddenly remembered their daughter who was with his parents. "Wait," she pulled away. "Our baby, she should be back from school. We need to go to your parents' first."
"Isabelle doesn't need babying anymore sweetheart, she can do without her mommy for three or four hours. Besides, I'm sure my mom is going to spoil her rotten just like last week. Our baby is fine." Scott assured her, earning a nod from her. "Now, back to our lunch. Should we cancel?"
"I think we should." Anna grinned, holding his face in her hands. "You have to finish what you started because I could lose a client with what you did."
"I'll tell the driver to change course then. How about my place?" He gave a wicked grin.
"I like you how say it. So sexy." Anna licked her lower lip before slow kissing her boyfriend.
..................................................................................
"We could do this all day." He stumbled beside her, instantly pulling her close to his warmth.
Even with the blasting air condition in his room, Scott and Anna were sweaty and sticky. No doubt, sex with the right person is always the best and Anna always made it seem like the first time. She was a different person in bed, during sex. He loved that he owned her body and that she allowed him to do whatever he wanted. It felt good watching her reaction anytime she learnt a new position that he taught her. In the end, he knew they were made for each other. He wasn't leaving her for anything.
"I don't think I can walk anymore." Anna squirmed.
"Good. Means you're all mine tonight." He said kissing the nape of her neck.
They both remained silent for a while before Scott broke the silence. "Anna, are you asleep?" He asked softly.
"Not yet."
"Sweetheart, can you turn?" He asked her.
Anna adjusted herself, turning to face Scott. "Yes?" She smiled, placing a hand on his cheek.
"I love you so much no matter what happens." He said without taking his eyes away from her face.
"Nothing bad is gonna happen so stop talking nonsense." Anna chuckled lightly.
Scott smiled... "Yeah. Nothing." He kissed her forehead.
