Scarlett's POV:
"Charles, do you even know what you're talking about?"
I looked down to avert my gaze from his passionate eyes.
Charles pinched my chin, forcing me to look into his eyes.
"Scarlett, I swear on my family's name. If there's anyone in this world who could make me willingly hand over my life, it's just you."
"Without hesitations?" I asked.
"Certainly."
Charles picked up the pen on the floor and handed it to me.
Then, he placed his arms around my waist, leaning closer towards me.
"You can try."
His voice was like music to my ears, and it was bewitching.
I furrowed my brows and raised the pen high on purpose, pretending as though I was going to jab his arteries with the pen.
In response, Charles closed his eyes leisurely.
When it came to relationships, he was a bold risk taker who didn't care that much about his own life.
But even so, Charles had won the bed.
I had lost against him, but that didn't necessarily made me feel bad.
It was then that I threw the pen away, gently cupping Charles' cheeks with both hands before I planted a kiss on his forehead.
"Scarlett, you believe me, don't you?"
