Scarlett’s POV

“I’m sorry...” Sebastian grabs the frame of our door, so hard his fingers turn white. “I-- I...”

He stutters for long, but no words come out.

What COULD he say? Hours. Only a few HOURS after he told her no, he is on his way to see her, in the middle of the night.

Because Ava cut her own wrist.

“I...I won’t do anything inappropriate with her. I just...” With utter struggle in his eyes, Sebastian explains, to me, or to himself, “I mean, you can come along if you--”

I cock my eyebrows and he instantly adds: “I’m sorry! I don’t mean that, I’m not asking you to come and help her! I swear!”

I sigh. Only a few hours ago, I thought we could start over. I thought if Sebastian would take my side against Ava, then maybe we do have a chance at holding together a family. I was wrong. So long as Ava exists in his heart, she could drill a hole in our family no matter how generous I be.

“I want to believe you, but what would you do if she really is dying of blood loss?” I look at him,

  • 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

  • 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
