CEO’s Runaway bride Chapter Forty-Nine
"Seb, you're here?" Scarlett was stunned, she didn't think he wanted to see her but why was he vouching for Skye? Hours Ago. Skye got into his car and drove to Scar's place. Immediately he reached her place, he got out of the car and headed to the front door. Skye was about to ring the doorbell when he heard sobbing, Scarlett was crying, and it was his fault. He couldn't bring himself to ring the bell so he went back to his car, he tried calling Harper but she wasn't picking up, which caused him to throw his phone in frustration. He didn't know what to do. He pulled his hair wondering how he was going to fix all this Harper played him well, she cheated him but how was he going to fix it all, Scar was broken and didn't want to talk to her, and Seb—, 'Wait I can try talk to him even if I end up getting a beating it's alright.'He made up his mind and drove to Seb's mansion, hoping he'd be there. After reaching the guards asked him why he wanted and he explained that he was there to s

They all sat on the couch and Scar stared at Skye, impatiently waiting for his explanation. After a few minutes, he began explaining every little detail of what he knew, Scar was astonished at the information, she remembered Seb telling her that Harper was dangerous but never in her wildest dreams did she ever think that she'd stoop to such a level. "That lady is messed up in the head. " Nat commented after everyone went silent, "But I'm wondering about one thing, why are the both of you together? Last I checked Seb isn't your biggest fan.""We had a little talk and decided to join hands from there. " Skye elaborated. "Okay, understood," Nat replied after finally understanding the situation."So, now what?" Scarlett asked, she hadn't uttered a single word since he started talking. "We make a plan that will permanently destroy her," Seb spoke up, causing Scar and Natalie to glance at him wondering what the two guys were planning. "Okay, so what's this plan of yours?" Scar raised a

The next day rolled in and Sebastian had to go to work where he needed to pretend like he hated Scar for Harper's satisfaction. The same thing was what Scarlett had to do as well and she was a bit nervous about this, she didn't want to blow it. Natalie prepped her and Scar left for work, her part was to be heartbroken and mad at Seb for not trusting her and leaving without letting her explain anything at all. She walked into the building looking miserable, she didn't even bother to greet anyone there. Scar reached her workspace and instantly began working. A few moments later, Seb walked out of the elevator with Harper as he passed Scar's desk he didn't share her a single glance, Harper on the other hand happily greeted Scar and She faked a smile greeting her back. They disappeared into Seb's office, and seeing them together hurt Scar despite it just being for show. They needed to distract her so that they could find something to destroy her. The rest of the day Scar and Seb glar

Skye yawned, feeling exhausted because of his busy night that was all worth it, he got something very big, and Harper was getting what was coming to her. He first saved the video the girl sent him to his cloud and other devices then went to take a shower, after feeling refreshed and less sleepy he texted Scarlett, Sebastian, and Natalie to meet him later that day by all means. Scar was at work when she got his text, she wondered why he wanted them to meet but then again their meeting meant he found something. Seb was with Harper when he got the text, she was sitting across from him talking about their wedding because she assumed they were back together so everything would go back to be as it was. Seb was irritated by her but didn't have much of a choice. He had to tolerate her, if it were up to him he'd probably strangle her there and then. Hours passed and Seb's misery ended when Harper's Dad called her telling her that he needed to talk to her. "I need to get going babe, I'll

After their little meeting, they all went their separate ways making sure they weren't being followed. Scarlett and Natalie were so exhausted that they didn't bother having dinner and straight away went to bed. Despite being tired, Scar couldn't sleep. It was like she was having insomnia, she took some pills, tried counting sheep but nothing. She couldn't help but think about what Harper would do to her if she knew that she and Sebastian hadn't really broken up. Would she kill her just to be with him? The woman was crazy and she just couldn't wait for the trial day. Just then her phone rang, she checked the caller ID and it was Seb, instantly she picked it up. "Hello." She said, "Hey, how are you holding up?" For some reason, he knew she'd be overthinking and wouldn't sleep so he decided to check up on her. "Alright, I guess,” She quietly said and let out a heavy sigh, "I'm just scared, I can't wait for the trial to happen soon. It scares me to think about what Harper could do

Two days had passed and it was finally the day for the trial. Skye's FBI friend had returned with the witness and updated them on everything about what was going on. They hadn't let Harper know anything just yet and already booked for a private trial, so they only needed to get her to be there. Scar was engrossed in her work when her phone pinged, she checked it and noticed a text from Skye, he was informing her that the FBI was on their way coming to get Harper. Scar took in a deep breath and prepared herself for whatever was going to happen. Since Harper was in Seb's office being a good little 'fiancee' the FBI was going to come there for her. After a couple of minutes, Scar got up to go have lunch but as she got up to leave the door opened revealing two men dressed in black, one wore a gray turtleneck and black pants while the other wore a black suit. They seemed to be heading straight for Seb's office so as a good secretary Scar blocked their path then shot them a warm smile,

"Good, now tell us, what relationship did you and Steven Grant share?" Agent Freza asked. "We went to the same university and were dating for a while." She truthfully answered fearing that they might snap her neck off. And for two full hours that was how it went, them asking questions and her now answering them, but she made sure to not confess that she was the one that killed him. She remembered what her lawyers told her that whenever she found herself in a deepshit kind of situation she should never admit to being guilty. "Alright, thank you for your cooperation," Agent Freza said as the two got up and then he held out a phone to her. "You have one phone call, don't waste it."Harper took it and instantly called her lawyer knowing her dad wouldn't answer a strange number. "Jack, I'm at the FBI headquarters. I need you here pronto and inform my dad about it too." She said to the person in the other line. "Have they questioned you?" He asked and she told him what they questioned

It was like a dream, no one ever thought an affluent wealthy person could ever get punished for their wrong doing, but if you went to the right people and had a decent amount of power you could get justice. Agent Martin stood with handcuffs the minute the court adjourned, he walked to Harper with a smirk on his face, and she hated it. She hated it when people were arrogant towards her. He reached her side and without saying a word, put her hands behind her back and cuffed her. At first she resisted but she had to submit, her dad would get her out soon, she shouldn't worry. "Dad, get me out of here soon and make sure to make them pay." Harper said through gritted teeth, her voice still proud and arrogant not understanding the gravity of her actions. Her dad looked at her sympathetically, no matter how hard he tried, he'd probably managed to lessen her sentence to a few years but had no way of getting her out unless a breakout. "I'll try to get you out but can't make any promises
