Scarlett's POV

“Ava, is that you?”

Sebastian asks and I look away. I wouldn’t look too good if I saw the pain and care on his face.

“Sebastian, I’m scared...” Ava begs in a crying tone.

“It will be fine,” He comforts her patiently, “Can you give the phone to your dad? I need to talk to him, alone.”

A short moment of silence before Jack Fuller’s voice comes through again: “I’m here.”

“I don’t want Ava to hear this,” Sebastian insists, waiting.

I don’t want to wait anymore. I have waited for him long enough. I turn and leave, but he grabs my forearm and pulls me back to him. Bumped into him, I cover my mouth just to not make a sound when the damn phone is right in front of me--

“She can’t hear you,” Jack Fuller answers calmly.

“Good,” Sebastian nods slightly, “Sounds like Ava is not dying of blood loss, so what are you requiring Scar’s presence for?”

Dead silence.

I shoot my head up in shock, staring at him as if seeing him for the first time. Lilith, too. Damian Vanderbilt exchanges a

I’m letting this story go….all the author does is keep dragging it out….with repeats after repeats…every single character is stupid beyond belief…is that saying something about you the author as well?? I’m being honest and you’re showing your lack of intelligence

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   339 News To Me

    “Enough of me,” Scott apparently notices how her attention is not on him, “so, why are you here?”“This is Adrian and Aurora’s fifth-year anniversary tour. Me and Lilith are just attached-alongs.” Scar waves her hand carelessly.She knows that Adrian and Aurora wanted them to come only because they were worried about her. She moved out of Silco’s place without ever telling them a reason, and they haven’t urged her on that yet. Scar is grateful.“Ohh, that’s good,” Scott lets out a relieved sigh, exaggeratedly, “I thought it was because of what Sophia said.”Scar blinks her eyes, only to understand his words after a few seconds.He doesn’t know!Of course he doesn’t. He went to Granny to ask for her hand. That was that. He didn’t know that Scar wasn’t in

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   338 Forgive Himself

    But instead of a friendly shake, the owner of that hand pulls Evens Moore right off his seat, slapping him with a cold warning: “You don’t know who she is? Evens Moore, star journalist of the Gossip Tongue. I still remember your ‘deep’ story trashing Scar five years ago. How shameless of you to come here and talk to her?!”Scar opens her eyes wide. She didn’t see that, nor Scott’s coming.“A man’s gotta eat,” Evens Moore grins without a shade of remorse when his lie was just exposed in front of the people he tried to lie to, “See you around then, former Mrs. Knight.”His level of shamelessness really impresses Scar.“Don’t mind him. Just a lousy paparazzi lives on sucking blood off other people’s life story,” Scott comforts Scar before he turns to Sebastian with a grunt. Scar didn’t know, but you sho

  • 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 looks sleepy as if he had no sleep at night. He has never tried to come and talk to Scar, and he wouldn’t leave a room just because she was in it, either.Scar thought she wanted him to leave her alone, but the void doesn’t feel comfortable, only weird.Apparently, he has been living on the cruise for the past month, just drifting with the water, and letting the waves take him wherever. It’s surprising to Scar how the media has been reporting that the mysterious CEO “went missing,” considering he wasn’t exactly hiding--On the third day after Scar aboarded, the cruise changed its course for so

  • 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.

  • 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
