CEO’s Runaway bride Chapter Seventy-One
The drive back to the city was long and filled with an eerie silence, no one seemed to utter a single word as they were all preoccupied with their own thoughts. Scar was silently sleeping, with her head leaning on Seb's shoulder, occasionally she'd stir in her sleep when seemingly having nightmares. Seb tried his best to call her own when that happened but it was still not that effective. Alas, they eventually arrived at Scar's place, the place was quiet and they could only tell that there were people there by the lights turned on in the house, the streets were dark and only lit by dimly lit street lights that probably needed fixing soon. Lucas walked ahead of them and knocked on the door, inside the house, Nat was on the couch waiting for them to call, text, or anything with news but since they left, they didn't contact her. She was scared for Scar, Lucas, Skye, and Seb, she wondered what happened to them, if they were alright or even alive. She put down the phone for the milliont

Scar's eyes flatter open one after the other, the light hit her eyes making squint them and after she slowly adjusted to the light she fully opened her eyes and realized that she was in her room at her home, how as the possible, the last thing she remembered was sleeping in the car after that Agent had caught Tony. She bolted up wondering what time it was when she checked the time it was three in the afternoon. Last she checked it was evening at best when she slept meaning she probably slept for half a day or even more. Her body felt refreshed but her muscles were heavily aching, she needed a long relaxing shower no bubble bath, but first, she needed to see Nat, and like on cue the door opened revealing Natalie, the moment she saw that Scar had awoken she bolted towards her and lunged at her with an embrace. "Gosh Nat, you're going to kill me." Scar giggled as she tried sucking in some oxygen. Nat instantly freed her, "Sorry, I hope I didn't hurt you." her face was filled with con

Seb instantly let go of her hand the moment she agreed to talk to him, it was all he wanted and needed. "What's wrong Scar? Why are you acting up like this?" His tone was soft and filled with so much hurt. Scar rolled her eyes and scoffed, "What isn't wrong should be the question." she paused for a bit, then spoke up, "Did you think that I wouldn't find out before your whole plan?" Seb was confused, he didn't know what she was referring to, he wanted to ask her what she was talking about but she spoke before he could. "Right, you don't understand, well let me enlighten you." She smiled and that smile was anything but sweet, "Two years ago, your marriage was arranged to me and because I wasn't ready and wanted to pursue my career I ran away humiliating you and ruining your reputation, because of that, you decided to get revenge on me and because of my whacky luck, I started working for you enabling you to get your revenge properly, does that ring a bell?" Seb felt like a bucket of

The living room was left in an eerie silence, everyone was in utter shock of what had happened. Nat was disappointed in both of the brothers, how could they do this to her best friend, Scar didn't deserve it. Seb wanted to go after her but Nat stopped him blocking his path, "Not another step.""Nat please move out of the way, I need to speak with her, please." He pleaded with her. But Nat shook her, "No, leave her be, haven't you done enough damage already? Just leave the poor girl alone or do you want to hurt her more?" Nat was on the verge of tears, she felt for her friend imagining what she might be going through. "I don't wanna hurt her, please believe me, Nat." He tried getting through to her once more but she wasn't going to budge. Nat joined her hands together in a pleading manner, "If that's the case then please leave her alone, please."Seb sighed and took a step back, "Alright, I'll go then. " Looking at his brother Lucas felt horrible, if only they had taken another rou

A few hours passed since the guys left, Nat had died off her tears and decided to check up on Scar after composing herself and washing her face. It was a stressful and tiring day, she just wanted to take a nap or something like that but she had a responsibility to her as her friend, she needed to be there for her and cheer her up. After regaining her energy she went up the stairs toward Scar's room, when she reached the door she knocked on it but there was no answer, she tried knocking again but nothing, that's when she realized that Scar didn't know that the guys had left. She probably thought that Seb was the one trying to talk to get her again or that they were still in the living room. She knocked for a third time, "Scar, open up, it's Nat, if you're worried about the guys they've already left."At first, there was utter silence then Scar spoke up in a muffled voice, "All of them?" knowing how stubborn Seb was, she just had to ask and find out whether he also left or not. "Yes

Since the time they returned Seb had locked himself in his room for some 'Thinking time' he didn't want to eat or talk to anyone and Lucas began to wonder what Skye must said to him. A few hours had passed and Seb's door finally opened revealing a freshly groomed Seb looking less broken and miserable than before, he seemed calm and collected not like before which astonished Lucas but hey this was brother after all he had always been spontaneous. Seb reached where Lucas was, "Call the detective and arrange a meeting with Tony it's high time we spoke.""Alright, that's not a problem," Lucas said as he pulled out his phone and updated the agents about their arrival. "Done," Lucas announced after placing his phone back to where it was. "Let's get going then," Seb said and started walking to the front door without waiting for his brother's response or reaction. Lucas trailed behind him, Seb seemed lost in thought and Lucas kept on wondering what he was thinking about, and what was he

A week had passed since the incident with Seb and Scar, throughout these days Scar hadn't dared to go outside, she went ready the fear of getting kidnapped was still with her, and throughout Nat was with her. Like a sister, she supported her, she stayed with her, she made her feel better, and cracked some silly jokes, since they couldn't physically go shopping she decided to do it online, they had more slumber parties, and did a whole lot of girly stuff, this made Scar realize how much she meant to Nat. The night before, she finally opened up and the two girls cried their hearts out comforting one another. They ended the night watching TV in the living room and seeing who could eat the most ice cream despite having a brain freeze. Through all that Scar realized a lot of things, one of them being she shouldn't run away from her problems but face them, just because Seb hurt her didn't mean she had to run she needed to stay strong and avoid him after all this was a big city what were

The next day Scar woke up with a determination to get a new job, easy from Seb and anything to do with him. She already sent her resignation later and was free from him at least that was what she hoped, though she hadn't yet gotten a response which meant he might reject it and she'd have to personally go there which she didn't want to do. Her morning began with a nice walk, then a lovely shower and a delicious breakfast made by Nat, which she was very appreciative of and currently eating. "Have I ever told you how much I adore you?" Scar gushed as she ate her food.Nat, who sat opposite her, just rolled her eyes at her friend's dramatic nature, "Yes, every day of my life.""Well, you should be told more than that." Scar teased as they both eventually finished their food. "I'll pass." Nat commented, then proceeded to wash the dishes, "How many responses did you get?" Nat was referring to the job applications Scar sent out last night. "So far just one, the one where people don't sle

“Crying solves nothing and you can't keep running away from them forever. They're your parents.” Natalie said for the untenth time as she watched Scarlett who was laying on the bed with her eyes closed.“I don't want to see them, is that so hard to understand?” she asked as she huffed. Natalie had been trying so long to talk to her and make her understand that her parents came for good and not bad, but she refused to accept them back into the life they had aimed to destroy.“But you're still ending up with the same man they chose for you.” Nat reminded and Scar opened her eyes to glare at her.“Do you think I'm mad at them because of that?

Scar's heart was beating fast and too loudly she swore Seb heard it. When she was coming on this trip, she didn't think it would turn out like this, her heart was overjoyed and she was over the moon and because she wanted to seem calm she didn't squeal but she would when she went back home and was with Nat. Like on cue, Marry You by Bruno Mars was playing, she was impressed by what he pulled up, and noticing that she took a rather long pause she decided to speak up.
