MasukSebastian’s POVI have never seen this side of Ava.She has put away her angel mask since I tricked her into scheming against Scar. At least, in front of me, she has. Ever since Scar divorced me, I have been amazed by how low Ava could fall, time after time. Just when I thought putting heroin in another girl’s drink is the most horrible thing she was capable of, she proved me wrong, yet again.“Don’t you want it?” Ava swings the little bag in front of my face, smirking.It’s heroin. She likes to comes in to my room when I go through dope sick, and watch me tremble on the floor.Why am I not surprised that she has access to stuff like this? I have accepted the fact that I thought her an angel when all these years she has been a pure devil, but there is still a lot of getting used to do.I close my eyes. Instantly, her high heel lands on my abdomen. The pointy heel can’t inflict much pain because I can barely feel anything when all the nerves in my body is burning up with pain and itch.
Now Scar understood – Adrian asked her when he saw Sebastian coming, and he wanted Sebastian to hear it from her. To cheer Sebastian up? Scar shakes her head at Adrian’s obvious attempt, but she is not ruining Adrian’s plan just yet.If it works, then she would take it.“I forgot my phone,” Sebastian says as if answering Adrian, by avoiding Adrian’s obvious hint completely, “Sorry to interrupt.”Looking at his cold face, Scar suddenly feels so remote from this man. Not just her. He is distancing himself from everyone. His whole world.She never noticed before how it has become easy to talk to Sebastian, until now, when it’s no longer true.It wasn’t always like that with him.In the early years after she married him, he hated her so much that he would throw a dispute when she just said “nice weather”. She could NOT talk to him. She would try her best to find topics, to start conversations, or just to get a simple text from him by asking over and over again what he would want for dinne
“First, we need to do damage control. Contact his legal team and clean up any related rumor online about any of these,” Scar never worked in the business world, but thanks to all the time she spend pestering Sebastian to talk about work so she could get him to talk to her during their marriage, she is familiar about how to handle issues like this more than she knew, “I’ll call Granny and feel out whether she knows about this. If not, then we try our best to keep it from her. As for the matter at hand, we need to figure out what Ava really wants and why he is complying with her so we can stop him from sinking deeper, and about getting him to quit…”That’s something only Sebastian can do, and even if he wants to, Scar is not sure if he could.Quitting drugs is one of the hardest challenges for any human being. People say that with a strong enough will, one can do anything, even quit addictions. But if it’s that simple, then it won’t be an “addiction”. It flips a switch in your brain, gi
Scar wheels onto Sebastian, staring at him with utter disbelief.Is it true? She wants to ask, but her body is too shocked to comply. All the details of the past week flash through Scar’s eyes. Pale face. Low appetite. Fatigue. Hiding his limbs under long pants and sleeves…and the indifference in his eyes as if he had nothing left in the world to care about.It all makes sense now.“You drugged him?!” Scar frowns at Ava, couldn’t even start to comprehend, “Why…? I mean…why??? What good does that do for you?”“I didn’t drug him! He--” Ava snaps angrily. He drugged himself for you! But to explain that, Ava would have to perjure herself on the failed crime against Scar. “This is called malicious incrimination, and I can sue!”“Really?!” Scar lets out a snort with despise. Compared to Ava, of course she trusts Adrian more, even though his story is so much more unlikely. Surprising, but making sense. “Please, call the police on me. We will see if you can get away with it again this time!”
Not shooting a glance in Scar’s direction, the man walks over slowly before he sits down on the chair next to Ava. On a cruise, yet he wears a long pair of pants to hide his legs. His hair messy and his eye bags big and dark as if he hadn’t been sleeping in days. Though the man complied with Ava’s summons tamely, he is not using the sun chair to its original function, but to sit there with his fingers crossed each other to support his forehead, as if he barely has energy to be there.He looks tired. Extremely. His thumbs rub each other compulsively, but the man doesn’t even seem to notice.Scar couldn’t imagine why.“Scar was just asking about you,” Ava smiles to Sebastian, kicking him lightly on the waist with her scarlet painted toe, “She was wondering if--”“Huh,” The man lets out a low laugh, looking up at Ava as if Scar doesn’t even exist, “Really?”The cold sarcasm in his tone sounds…dead.There is not even a shred of doubt in his voice – he is saying he knows, plainly and firml
Sebastian and Ava yet again took up the front page, reading--Billionaire’s Love Story, Forever and EverTheir long love story came out from Evens Moore’s pen, depicting in details about how he found the traces of the billionaire who hid all the way out in the ocean just to avoid getting divorced by his obsession from his childhood, the woman who he loved all his life, and can’t seem to let go even when her heart might be leaning toward another man who just might be the only one richer than him in the city.When Scar saw the newspaper, she just let out a light laugh and put it away, closing her eyes for the sun bath with only her bikini on.She has really moved on this time, but no one around her seems to be used to that.And the most among them – Ava.“Have you seen Sebastian today? I really need to talk to him about something, you know?” Ava chooses the sun chair right next to Scar’s, waving a folder in her hand as she chats with Scar as if they are besties.A folder that even looks
