Scarlett’s POV

Damian Vanderbilt left with Oliver Scott. All I know is the name Grey, not even their car plates. So if I want to do anything, following them is my only chance.

“Change of plan!” I drag Lucas out of there, “How’s your driving skill comparing to Adrian's?”

“Basically the same,” Lucas frowns in confusion, “Enough to meet your needs. I know about your car sick situation--”

“Can you do a car chase?” I cut him off, pointing at the car leaving the Fuller’s gate, “Follow that car!”

  • 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

    Scarlett's POVHer scream soon attracts attention.The first one responding is Sebastian. I think he came over even before I threw her into the water, because he jumped after her almost instantly, and pulled the struggling Ava to the up.

    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

    Sebastian’s POVI mean, I can’t be sure that I have never seen him in my life, and that can be the smidgen of familiarity I feel looking at his photo. And my heart drops--It’s much harder if it’s a random guy instead of the owner who did this.“Fuck!” I rub my head, throwing the photos on the sofa har
