เข้าสู่ระบบScar's POVLilith dragged Damian out.I would have stopped her, but from the look on Lilith's face, she was more nervous than angry --The kind of nervous when Lilith first met Damian.When Lilith was mad about that guy.I could never get what happened between Damian and Lilith 3 years ago out of Lilith's mouth. That woman has the tightest string on her lips. I thought it was because Lilith hated Damian, and didn't want to get things messy between me and Damian, but now...It looked like it was because Lilith still had hope in Damian.Unlike before when I left Sebastian.I look up, and Alice is sitting on his lap. For a split second, I almost couldn't tell between reality and a dream I used to have all the time--A peaceful, simple dinner as a family, with Sebastian and our son...or a little girl.Am I still trapped in that hell, and all this is nothing but a moment of weakness where my brain was tired out by the torture, and hoaxed this moment to relax?"...Scar?"I blink, and the so
Scar's POV"I have missed you so much, Daddy!" Alice bounces on Sebastian's lap with fiery anticipation in her eyes.Sebastian shoots a cautious glance in my direction and I look down, pretending I wasn't there.As much as I know Lilith is only using Sebastian as a shield, I don't know how to deal with the scene of Sebastian with a child calling him "daddy". If our child didn't die...I stop myself from approaching the deep dark hole that would swallow me whole: "Damian, if a woman says no, then it means no. It doesn't mean 'I don't want to see you, so please go stalk my daughter without me knowing'."Damian's hurtful look darkened another layer. He peels his scary stare off Alice and turns to me with a wronged tone, "You promised that you would help me with Lilith!""..." I... might have said something like that."I thought she was exchanging texts with you only last week," Sebastian holds his menu open for Alice -- the ice cream page, but his words were for Damian: "Only a week and
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
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
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
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
Scarlett’s POVI don’t want to get into an argument now. I’m too scared to be so close to an abyss that my limbs are all freezing. Besides, I don’t want to lower myself to the level of sabotaging another just to survive, though she might deserve it.“Did you know all these?” Liam Ryan turns to me with
The man grabs her wrist. He is not pulling her away, but his power stops her from closing her claw, easily. Ava sighs, looking up in her watery deer eyes. She is not faking this time. She can’t resist power. She can’t resist this man who could dominate in any situation.“You are enjoying this?” The
“Sebastian, please. You know today is important to mom,” In the end, Ava softens her voice, putting on her innocent victim act. After all, that’s the role she has been practicing her full life, “Mom sees Mrs. Green as her own granny, and they haven’t seen each other in decades. I just want to make
