Sebastian’s POV

“...what do you mean...?” Scar’s voice shakes with fear when I get close. She shoots me an indifferent glance like she doesn’t see me at all. Her eyes are red in tears, and her fists shaking.

What could Jack Fuller possibly say to her? She wasn’t this upset even when she gave me those files.

“You have always thought I faked your adoption file,” Jack Fuller says with a heavy sigh, “You were right. I didn’t adopt you from the orphanage. I found you in North Dakota, in your mother’s cold arms.”

“You are lying!” Scar hisses at Jack Fuller like a hurt little kitten. Her ears would fly backward if she had any. She shakes her head and tears fall down but she doesn’t even feel that. She turns to grab Adrian’s shirt with a wronged look, and I glare over at Adrian.

“Take her out of here,” I tell Adrian before I turn to Jack Fuller, “You don’t have to do it here, not like this.”

I don’t know about Scar’s past, but Jack’s opening doesn’t sound like a nice story.

Adrian complies, h

Although it is a lie but What would’ve happened if she found out that her father was a junkie . I think it would not hurt more than what jack and his family and seb did to her over years . So it is just a bullshit excuse to stop her !!!!

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   347 Heartache

    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

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   346 Long Time No See

    “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

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   345 No Way Out

    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

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   343 How Lucky Am I

    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
