142 The Venderbilt's Heir

2024-09-27 20:17:17Scarlett’s POV
I have never seen him sad like this. Before when I have a fight with him for Ava, he usually just snorts coldly, or brushes it off. Never did he care so much that his whole voice was spilling out pain.
His pain stings me.
“Yes, very!” I say in a vicious tone, glaring back at him, “I’m sorry if you said that in exchange for a dead marriage, but you shouldn’t have done it if you think it’s not worth it!”
“I didn’t say that,” Sebastian sighs, his voice tired and low, “I know I need to keep a distance from her, I just didn’t want to do it in a cruel way...”
“I told you I stayed for blood, and I told you I tore the divorce papers just to torture your precious,” I feel my blood boiling in a cold fire, “I don’t care if you stay her knight in shining armor, just don’t come and ask me to join you! If you are putting her above every and any of your things, that’s your choice!”
Not mine, and certainly not my baby’s!
For a moment I really thought I could trust him with our baby. I guess I was too naive.
He pushes a hand on the wall by my ear, his hand grabbing me is trembling in pain and restraint. He looks into my eyes as if desperately looking for the perfect wife he knew I was.
I was. I’m not anymore.
“I know you hate me, and you have every right,” He lowers his eyes first in our standoff, sighing, “I will pay for what I have done in any way you see fit. I--”
He looks like he has so much to say, but in the end, he just puts my phone in my hand and leaves, a sullen and disappointed look on his face. I don’t need to live up to his standard, and guard his princess with him like some stupid servent!
“Are you okay...?” Lucas asks, sticking his head out carefully.
“Yes!” I answer, only to realize my grumping tone, “Pack your bags, we are leaving this shithole!”
“We are?” Lucas cocks his eyebrows, “What about the necklace? You don’t want it anymore?”
Jack Fuller won’t let me have it, unless I blow everything up. If he wanted to destroy it, he would have years ago. I’m fed up living with them anyway.
“Daddy is home!”
Ava’s shout catches my attention. She was crying on the sofa with her friends around her. Sebastian is not by her side. I look down, and Ava is looking up right at me at the same time, her eyes glittering with the familiar light--
She is planning to get me in trouble.
“I guess we are leaving tonight,” I tell Lucas as I turn and head downstairs instead. Even if Ava tells on me, she has no evidence that I was ever in the study. And if Jack Fuller makes a big deal out of it, I’ll just out everything!
“Daddy!” Ava cries as she throws herself into Jack Fuller. Even before she could fully turn around she points in my direction and cries, “Daddy, Scar--”
Sebastian walks over and stands in front of me. I thought he left, after that ugly talk. Ava pauses at Sebastian’s move, so shocked that the pitiful mask she puts on for Jack Fuller cracks.
But my eyes are not on Ava, nor on Sebastian. I’m looking at the men who followed Jack Fuller into the room. One is Gabriel, and the other is someone I never thought I would see on such an occasion--
It’s the mysterious guy who saved Lilith at Granny’s birthday party!
And he is staring at Ava.
Suddenly nobody is talking, and we all sort of freeze by the gate. Gabriel laughs at himself for a second, realizing the awkward moment, and grins at Sebastian: “Ohh, let me introduce you! Damian, this is Sebastian Knight, CEO of the Z House, and Sebastian, this is Damian Vanderbilt, Heir of--”
The mysterious guy glances at Sebastian’s hand, and takes it for only a second before his attention darts back to Ava, commenting out of nowhere: “You have a beautiful necklace, Miss.”
I blink in confusion. Doesn’t he remember Ava? He looks pretty friendly to her.
Before I could even say anything to him, Jack Fuller turned to look at Ava’s neck, only to freeze with his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. And to everyone’s surprise, the daughter-spoiling-father-of-the-year slaps Ava on the face, so hard that she falls to the ground with her face swollen up with visible speed!
“What have you done?!” Jack Fuller shouts.
Author's Note:
Hey sorry if the plot appears a bit slow, because too many things need to be laid out before Scar's past surface. I actually buried Damian's line before, but I guess I did a horrible job. I'm editing the earlier chapters, and it will be up in a few days. If you are curious, you can go back to chapters 40 to 50 (along with some small changes here and there). Note: none of the changes will be an extra charge.) I'm leaving today's chapter for free as an apology. Enjoy!

She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 362 Damian's Regret
Damian’s POVFive years ago, I slept with Lilith.It was an accident. I was already in love with her by then, but she only saw me as her boss. After all, I'd given her her first job, and I was the one who showed her the ropes at the firm. I hadn't planned on moving that fast—but that night, I was drugged.She was with me, I knew. She said yes, I asked. She enjoyed the night, at least. When I woke up, she was beside me.But then she left, abruptly.In my memory, she didn't resist. But maybe that was just wishful thinking on my part, because after that day, Lilith never talked to me again. She left the city, and changed her number. The third time I found her contact and she'd changed her number again, I finally realized—maybe the person she was running from was me.All these years, I knew Sebastian had been in touch with her. But when she said
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 361 Papa
Scar’s POVDeep down, I didn't like the idea of Alice being around Sebastian. He didn't care about his own child—why would he care about someone else's? Bringing a child around him made me feel unsafe.Alice is not mine to lose or endanger."You're going to see that man again from the other day, aren't you?" Alice smiled like a little fox—cunning, yet completely unaware of how adorable her cunning was. "Mama gave me a message to give to him, so I have to go see him."Lilith...has something to tell...Sebastian?“Ohh, I’m not going out with--”I glanced at Silco, not sure if I should mention Damian’s name in front of Silco. But Alice must be talking about Damian instead of Sebastian.“Sebastian Knight, right?”Alice rubbed her cute little tushy, as if she had a tail and she was wiggling it, “

Scar’s POVWe made it off the cruise in one piece.Seb didn't go down. The company survived. I moved back into Silco's place, and he either didn't notice I'd been avoiding him before, or he noticed and just didn't ask why I'd come back. Silco’s place was again Alice’s day care. Aurora and Adrian were attached at the hip as always.Everything seemed the same as before. But everything also felt... slightly off.Lilith wouldn’t leave her place, not even for Alice.Silco was the one picking Alice up and dropping her off.Aurora started spending all her time off work at Silco’s or Lilith’s -- as if she didn't have a boyfriend at all.And one more thing had changed-- Sebastian started bombing me with messages, in the name of my “temperary partner in revenge”.Only just now he Seb texted
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 359 Scar Was Broken
Silco’s POVI pulled some strings and had her transferred to another city. Her idiot brother and that venomous ex-husband of hers didn't deserve her forgiveness, so I made sure they never found out where she went.The problem was—she was already too broken to fix.She thought she'd lost her child. Thought she'd lost everything. I told her over and over that her baby was alive, that once she got better she could go see her. But every time she heard that, she'd get excited to the point of hysteria, then break down sobbing, then wake up the next day and forget everything. Forget I was her father. Forget she had family and friends in this world. Forget her child was still alive.Over and over.I couldn't make her mind accept what she didn't want to accept.Overturning her conviction would have taken some work—even though that bastard ex-husband never pressed charges, the fact remained that she had hurt someone. But because her mental state was genuinely compromised, I bought the city's mo
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 358 Silco's Pain
Silco’s POVMy wife died. And when I finally found our daughter—the one we lost for twenty years—she was in prison.I'm Johnny Vanderbilt.Vanderbilt isn't old money. I built it myself, from nothing. The woman who stood beside me through all of it was my wife, Emma Green—Scar's mother. But if there's one thing I regret, it's that when I met Emma, I also met her best friend. Anna Fuller.That woman is a snake.Back when I had nothing, she wanted me. She knew I was with Emma, but she kept pursuing me. What made me sick wasn't that—it was that she didn't want to be with me. She wanted to keep me. Like a pet.How twisted. How pathetic.And this same woman convinced Emma to keep donating blood to her. Because Anna's body was fragile as paper. She couldn't run, couldn't jump, couldn't live the way Emma did. She could have. She just didn't want to risk her precious life. So she used Emma instead. She'd find ways to talk to me behind Emma's back—I couldn't avoid her, couldn't leave proof. I m
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 357 Settle The Score
Scar’s POVTo be honest? I didn’t want to get involved with all the power game between two powerful families like the Greens and the Vanderbilts.But one is the family that outcast mom, and the other watched mom die. Not to mention, my dear father is now going after Granny’s company.The file Sebastian showed me was a merge proposition, from Johnny Vanderbilt himself. He wanted to gulp down the Knight Empire, which is almost the same size as the Vanderbilt’s name, and he did not care through what method.He already persuaded two small shareholders of the Knight Empire to sell privately, and is cururently holding over 30% of the Knight Empire in his hand before he sent this official proposal, “according to the law”.The trap tonight was also his work. He knew Sebastian would never sell his 20%, but if Sebastian was kicked out of the board for “drug issue”, then it would be another story.Only day ago I was worried what if the Silco I saw as family was actually my birth father who I did

Tears flow down Anna Fuller’s cheeks, the plate raised halfway in her hand is shaking hard because she was not expecting Johnny Vanderbilt to be so cruel to her—He knew she was going for the necklace, and he did not only bid for it, but actually gave her a price that told her to keep away from it.

Scarlett's POVHer scream soon attracts attention.The first one responding is Sebastian.

Scarlett’s POVWell, I don’t have one.I talked big, but I didn’t really have a “revenge plan” in my mind. Doing people harm is a huge project, and just thinking about it exhausts me.“Whatever you want to do, we are here for you,” Aurora says this, only to dart a weird glance at Adrian --She could onl

When closing the door behind them, Scott even shot a glance out. He knew who Scar was avoiding, and apparently, he found it amusing.“Don’t like that man?” Scott grins at her, nodding his head at the door, which blocked Elijah Green from them.“What are you doing here?!” Scar exclaims, regretting f
