Scarlett's POV

“No, thanks,” Noticing Ava’s stare I add, “I have to go and guard my plunder.”

Jack Fuller left the table when Ava teared up at her prince gulping in sweat. Anna Fuller sat through the dinner with us, mostly out of manner before she left the moment she was allowed to.

But not Ava. She stayed, and apparently, she had words for him, too.

It’s been a long day, and I need to make sure I have a bed to sleep in for the night. I wouldn’t be too surprised if Ava bought Alfred to mess up the room instead of cleaning.

“I’ll walk you to your room then,” He offers jokefully, adding before I could say no, “Or you’d rather talk about our deal here?”

“Seb...” Ava murmurs timidly as she approaches.

I swing off his hand, looking at him coldly to wait for his decision. I know what his decision would be. Ava knows too. The only one who doesn’t seem to know is him.

Ava nails her eyes on Sebastian, and he nails his on me. I leave. Love is a game big enough for only two, and I no longer want

Scarlett's 23. So, his hate of her started when he noticed her "inappropriate" crush in middle school at 13?

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   336 Stay Out Of Your Life

    At the end of the day, Adrian failed to get an answer out of Sebastian.The man seems to have lost interest in everything. He lay on that chair all day until the night breeze was too cold for topless. Dinner was in the grand hall, a fancy buffet. But he didn’t go until most of the dishes were out, and he sat in a corner and barely had anything.Scar knows, because she witnessed all that. Because Adrian stalled them from leaving after dinner, claiming that he was interested in the after-dinner jazz show. Scar didn’t realize he was waiting for Sebastian until Aurora called it out--“Adrian!” Aurora hisses at him when she sees Sebastian, “Are you serious?! You are setting them up? After everything?!”She glances at Scar, who lowers her eyes, not joining the conversation.Sebastian wasn’t helping Ava, at least that day at the Green’s party, he wasn’t. That much Scar saw. For some reason, he knew about Ava’s scheme, or even joined in, but in the end, he warned her against it, and revealed

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   335 Heroin

    Alice has her piano lessons with Silco. Scar still prefers to call him that. It feels funny how Lilith would take her daughter to visit Silco, and Scar would grind her brain to find something to do, so she would be conveniently “inconvenient” to go with her.She can’t hide it from Lilith for too long like this, so when Adrian brought up a cruise trip, Scar jumped on board without a second thought.And that’s how she ended up here--Freezing in front of a sunlounger on the deck, with Sebastian lying on there, topless.The man has his forearm over his eyes, lazily draping it for the blinding sun. His skin is paler than usual, and though still with those eight packs that he puts a lot of effort into, he is visibly slander.As if he just walked out of a grave illness.Scar glares at Adrian, who shrugs innocently, but with a naughty grin. H

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   334 Vanderbilt's Romor

    Sophia Green had a stroke.The Greens were leaving at the end of last month, but with their empress paralyzed, they stayed.To “spare Scar the humiliation”, Sophia Green didn’t invite any of her important friends to that private meeting. So only a handful of people knew what happened, and few among them cared about Ava, or what she was made of.Scott was there, but being the newfound heir to the throne, his words has no influence in the family tangled in complicated power and hidden forces. Elijia and his wife were there, too. But they have long known the Fullers as family friends, and all they saw was how Ava wanted to marry Scott. To them, she was a gold digger tops, which wasn’t even something rare to see. They didn’t know all the secrets behind Scar and all the lies about her.Then it was Sebastian, who disappeared from the public’s sight after that day.In the end, the only words coming out of that room that day were-- Scott Green was to marry Scar Green. And that’s not even deci

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   333 Lucky Day

    Sophia Green is seeing black dots in front of her eyes, all the memories with Ava flashing through her mind.Only the other day, the Fullers were talking about how they appreciated that donor girl, saying that girl’s name was “also Sophia” even! They painted themselves as the grateful, innocent who kept on helping that girl even though that girl blackmailed her way into a marriage with Sebastian.That’s not what they said about Scarlet Fuller, and she certainly didn’t know Sebastian was married to the other Fuller girl this whole time.Wasn’t he in a relationship with Ava all these years?After all, that’s how Ava has been painting herself in front of her.“But…but you…” The Green Lady grabs Ava’s arm, desperately praying that Ava could provide a good explanation to any of these. Ava appears scared and confused, staring at her with a harmless, innocent look.Sophia Green can’t form a question. She stares at Ava’s innocent look, suddenly realizing that she can’t really pin down any mom

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   332 The Donor

    “What’s going on with you two? Twenty years of love, it’s not something you just throw away.” Sophia Green frowns at Ava, an omen feeling in her heart. She doesn’t want Mary to be right about the Fullers, but now she is afraid that Mary just might be.Ava opens her mouth, really lost this time.What’s going on? Didn’t Sophia Green wanted her for Scott? She is the closest woman at age for this marriage, and her family, while not as rich as the Green, but who is? So why is Sophia Green looking so upset at her?“Ava, you are married...” In the end, Sophia Green doesn’t want to be too harsh. What she couldn’t ask out loud is--How could you even assume that I would marry you to Scott? You don’t even know him. Are you all about the money, just like everyone else?If there is one thing Sophia Green never doubted, it was Ava’s love for Sebastian.She watched these two kids growing up under her nose.After her husband died, Mary stopped having time for Christmas with her, but she sent Sebasti

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   331 Public Humiliation

    Sophia Green shoots Scar a strict glare. Didn’t Mary say that her dear “granddaughter” would go along with this plan? Why is she so surprised?!Ava glances at Scar, letting out a polite, understanding chuckle, “Granny, that was the worst time to say the wrong name. I understand why Scar would be surprised.”Rarely, Scar doesn’t retort. She barely heard Ava’s gibberish when all her mind was on the name Sophia Green just said--Emma. Her daughter’s name was Emma Green.Panicking and shocked, Scar freezes where she is. It’s just a weird coincidence, right? That the daughter of Sophia Green, the one who ran away and fell apart with her, also happens to be another Emma Green?Sebastian walks toward her, but Scott beats him to it.“Sorry,” Scott takes Scar’s hand for a kiss on its back, gentleman like, “I kept the announcement today a secret for her, and that’s why my fiancee is a little surprised. Right, Scar?”Scar nods numbly, letting Scott lead her to the side as she hides her eyes from
