Scarlett's POV

The building’s structure is like a hotel. The elevator is designed in the center, with two lines of small rooms going around it. We were in one of the rooms on the inner lines, and the light we saw came through the room on the outer circle.

I didn’t know this until Liam Ryan dragged both Ava and me out of the room, through a pitch-dark hallway, to a huge hole in the center of the building.

The half-built elevator shaft is like the enormous mouth of a monster lurking in the dark,

I wish Scar would grow a pair and tell Sebastian the truth. Even in the face of death, she is keeping her damn mouth shut. I am so ready for something good to happen to shed some light on everything.

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   354 Lashing Out

    Scar’s POVI don’t know why it pisses me off so much to see him so loyal to Ava even after she showed her true color. I understood him when she painted herself as an angel in front of him. I understood him when he mistook Ava as the girl he saved in the woods.But what excuse does he have now?After her lie exposed? After she admited she has been wasting my blood just to exploit my life? After she killed our baby?The darkness that gulped me is suddenly back. Everything suddenly lost meaning and teate, and I just wants to not be here. Anywhere but here.Depression. The curse is back, and is trying to eat up my mind.I turn to leave, but Sebastian grabs the doorknub before I could.“Move,” I say. The coldness in my own voice scares me. I’m turning into darkness. The kind of pure ruin that would harm everything around me, including myself.The worst is, I can’t stop it once it kicks in.“Don’t you want to know why Silco admitted to be Johnny Vanderbilt when he wasn’t?” Sebastian offers,

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   353 I'm Just Lost

    Scar’s POV“Mr. Vanderbilt, is there a problem?” The room across 001, 010 opened, and a man walked out.The suits on this man worth at least five digits. I know. Sebastian loved this brand. The man wears a golden framed slit glasses; the eyes behind the glass are icy blue. He is smiling to me, but the smile is dangerous and aggressive.“Since when are the paparazzi allowed in the ship within ship area?” The man who was addressed as “Mr. Vanderbilt” complained to the dangerous man with golden glasses, his eyes never landed on me.I have never met this man in my life, masked or not. I’m sure of it. His aura is so strange to me. I just can’t believe that we are related by blood in any way.Right at this moment, Sebastian’s voice raise in the empty hallway, “Isn’t this the famous butler, Mr. Ethan Williams?”I knew that name. The media called him “The Butler” -- the right hand man of Johnny Vanderbilt, who is basically single handedly dealing with any and every business of the Vanderbilt

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   352 Confirmed

    Scar’s POVRight, he is still pretending.Sebastian knew I would hear their conversation, but Johnny Venderbilt didn’t.All the courage I gathered to face him dissipated into the air at his reply. He wants to play? Fine. I’ll play!Silco is at home, but Johnny Venderbilt is ON the cruise. I saw him on the guest list tonight. Their system’s defense is weak as a thin paper in front of Lilith, and she hacked in for all the information I needed. She was the one who warned me about the board members, and she told me about Silco, too.[Is Silco home?] I typed to Lilith.Lilith is the only one who I told everything to. I had to confide in someone, and I told her about Silco, about the cruise, even Sebastian’s drug problem. I have only her now.Soon, she sends over a photo -- Silco sitting in front of the piano. Alice by his side.Playing the imposter game now, huh? Good for you, Johnny Venderbilt! Gritting my teeth, I pulled out the list and found his room number. Room 001 on the most luxuri

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   351 Silco's Identity

    I would try to talk more, but Sebastian soon found Ava. She is like his protective bubble nowadays, and I find it hard to talk about her evil scheme to her face.Something is coming. I know. As little as I understand business, I can feel the suffocating calm before a storm. There are signs that even a layman like me could notice. For one, the Knight Empire’s stock has been rising like riding a rocket.It’s normally a good thing, but not when scandals about a company’s CEO spread around like cancer.Someone is pushing it. Someone who knows that the higher one rises, the harder one falls.Sebastian’s parents might established the company, but it only made the Knight the biggest shareholder. There are always sharks lurking. Granny fought off hers, and Sebastian’s are coming at him, right now.I talked to Granny. In fact, I begged her to come and help, but she said the company is not in her hands right now. She didn’t take the CEO title from Sebastian, but from the day she announced publi

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   350 Mind Your Own Business

    Scar’s POVSebastian had no surprise in his eyes when I told him that his board members had come.He knew.That’s what I was afraid of -- that he is not being trapped, but rather, is falling on his own. I can’t tell if it’s because of the heroin, or the actual poison in his life. Yes, by that I meant Ava.I know desperation, and I can tell when I see it. In his eyes, there is only grey desperation right now, like a dim plague eating him away.I don’t know how to help him, but I know I can’t let it happen. It would break Granny’s heart.“I didn’t know that was any of your concern, Miss Green,” Sebastian answers my whisper with a voice loud enough for the person in a coma upstairs.Why is HE the one holding a grudge against me?! Wasn’t he the one falling for Ava’s trap?

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   349 Scar's Debut

    Sebastian’s POVI didn’t expect Scar’s debut in this show, though.I haven’t seen her since I told her we were done. Although she said it first, it hurt more than I thought it would when I repeated it myself. I had to. I don’t want her anywhere near my show with Ava.I don’t want to shower her in this shit show.It’s supposed to have nothing to do with Scar, but there is no control over how the media would read it. They don’t care about the truth, they care only about what an eye-catching story they could paint. And it’s more dramatic with the shadow of my ex-wife in this twisted love story.That’s why I chose this cruise for the show. I told Adrian to take Scar off the ship. I should have known. She never listens.So when I walked into the dining hall for the final battle, I found her waiting for me

    The man grabs her wrist. He is not pulling her away, but his power stops her from closing her claw, easily. Ava sighs, looking up in her watery deer eyes. She is not faking this time. She can’t resist power. She can’t resist this man who could dominate in any situation.“You are enjoying this?” The
