Scarlett’s POV

“I don’t know if it belongs to your mom yet, but that necklace definitely has a story behind it,” Lucas smirks with confidence, “The chain has some rust on it. By the smell left in the case? I’d say...”

I hold my breath, and he purses his lips, looking at me with a teasing smirk. I feel an anxiety rush when I realize he is taunting me, “What--?!”

“Blood,” He blurts calmly, cutting my outburst out, and giving me another anxiety rush yet again.

“What?!” I shrill.

“Shushhhh!” He his

Kidnapping across state lines is a federal capital offense: Jack could be executed if convicted of Kidnapping Scarlett.

I like crazy laws like the any involving death has no statute of limitations.

Karen, gotta remember Sebastian just recently started seeing Ava for who she really is. So Ava probably thinks things will stay the same.

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   352

    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. Alic

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   351

    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, b

  • 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

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   348 Behind Bars

    Sebastian’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.

  • 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   337 Evens Moore

    Sebastian is not exactly avoiding Scar.Three days passed, and he has been keeping a rather regular routine. A light breakfast. A quiet sunbath at his regular spot. A light lunch. Back to his sunchair. A late, lighter dinner. Then disappear from people’s eyes. He always

    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,

    “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.Wha
