It took Lilith 10 minutes to get out of the rope. Luckily, it wasn’t tied too tightly without any room. Luckily, she has a police brother who teaches her all kinds of self-rescue skills.

But she couldn’t open the door.

They locked her in a remote closet. Though she tried shouting, nobody answered.

Her only chance, is her phone.

The phone Sebastian took and gave to Ava was Scar’s. If he had recognized it, it would be really bad. But now, Lilith has seen his true color, has known their evil plan, and most of all, she could get the message out.

Except not Scar.

Between calling her brother and dialing 911 directly, Lilith chose the former. No answer. It’s weird because Damon usually keeps his phone on 24 hours, and he never ignores his alerts -- call that a policeman’s vigilance.

Lilith doesn’t have time to wonder about Damon’s absence.

She dials 911 the next, but the person laughed when she said there is going to be a rape in the Hilton House, warning her that false reporting is a crime.

So the entire plan is to drug Scar and let the press find Scar & Sebastian, so Sebastian wins in the end, that’s really disappointing. Poor Scar always loses, stuck with a man who never deserved her.

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   342 A Crime

    Ava looks like she is at the peak of her life.The first dinner after the “luxurious guests” boarded lured everyone on the cruise to the dining hall. The jazz band is replaced by four cellists, and the buffet is changed into a high-end banquet. Elijia Green has his paralyzed mother in a wheelchair, two nurses by their side at their service. Emily Green is swimming in the crowd, one celebrity to the next, introducing Scott to all their distinguished friends.And Ava is tagging along.She was a socialite before all these, but never before did she have such a chance to join the real elites. She was the daughter of a middle-tier family, an actress, a girl whom Sebastian favored. But now, she is the queen-to-be of the Green family.Or so Emily Green is indicating.Sebastian is still sitting by himself in a dim corner, having little to no food in front of him. He is not lea

    Adrian couldn’t even wait for dinner time to find Sebastian. He catches the man in the superstructure, who seems to have left Ava’s cabin only a minute ago.“What are you doing here?!” Adrian’s voice is shaking with suppressed anger.Sebastian pauses when Adrian surprises him, but then falls back to the indifferent look he always has now, “I’m walking here. Thought that much was obvious?”“You think you are funny?” Adrian grabs Sebastian’s collar, “Were you with Ava Fuller just now?!”Sebastian lets out a light laugh, seemingly amused by Adrian’s words. But just when Adrian thought the man wouldn’t answer, he speaks, loud and clear, “Ava Fuller is my legal wife. Is there any law I’m breaking by being with her?”“Ohh, and now you are in love with that snake again?” Adrian demands, and Sebastian shrugs with an annoying grin--“I thought I have always been.”Adrian raises his fist high into the air, threatening to land it on Sebastian’s face: “Scat told me everything! What got into you,

    “What’s gotten into you?!” Scar blurts at Sebastian without thinking.Sebastian’s finger twitches when her voice rises, but he doesn’t give any other indication that he heard her.“He won’t talk to you, because I forbid it,” Ava says with a harmless smile, “He is the one who can’t leave me now.”Scar frowns. She turns to Scott for a shared concern, but Scott doesn’t seem to care or find Sebastian’s reaction curious.Scott shrugs carelessly, “What can I say? That man has a history of wanting things after he lost them.”It’s not that.“Now you miss being pursued by him?” Ava taunts, “You said you were over him, but at the end of the day, you just enjoy the satisfaction of having men at your feet as much as I do. And you are more of a hypocrite becau

    “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
