She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 020 Gabriel’s Little Darling
Scarlett’s POVI can’t help but glance at Sebastian, and surely enough, he is frowning at her. She HATES him! Why would she be here?! Why would she be here at THE moment I’m stuck with Sebastian? With my heart pounding hard, I turn around slowly.Then Aurora throws herself into me.“Scar! Are you alright?” Aurora grabs me and checks me head to toe, “I’m really really sorry! I was...caught up with somethin--What’s that smell on your hair-- OMG! You are bleeding!”I giggle, can barely breathe in Aurora’s attention in a machine-gun style.In that moment I feel like I traveled back in time. When Gabriel bullied me, Aurora would be the one attending to me while Lilith...I peek in Lilith’s direction sneakily, and her cold eyes catch mine like sharp knives. Those are the cold looks she gave me when she left my wedding with Sebastian. I lower my eyes quickly.Lilith is no longer in the picture.With the skills from her policeman of a big brother and the queen aura from ruling the kids on the
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 021 Innocent Ava
Sebastian’s POVI have never seen Scar so happy with her laughter reaching her eyes...when she left with her friends.She never laughs with me, she just smiles at me -- she used to smile at me, but not anymore. Not for months. But even before when she did, it was different from the laugh she had with her friends. Her smile at me was always timid and restrained, like a puppy scared of being hurt, but also desperately flatters people for food.She wasn’t happy with me. I made sure of that.I thought I was just “not loving” her. I didn’t. I don’t! And because of that, I never cared if I was hurting her. She forced my hand, and I used that to justify everything.The past three days were really rough for me.I couldn’t stop thinking about Scar’s accusation, of how horribly we have been treating her. I felt sick of myself every time I think of the phrase “blood vessel”. I kept searching in my memory for clues to justify my actions. Maybe she deserved it, maybe she brought that to herself, m
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 022 The Whole Video
Sebastian’s POV“Gab,” I pull his phone away, demanding, “I thought you want Scar to leave? Ava wants her gone.”“I want her to leave YOU, not the city!” Gabriel fights me for his phone, “What if Ava needs her again?!”My blood runs cold.Is this really the Gab that I know? The popular homecoming king? The nice big brother that Ava always shows off? The friend who I thought could have my back?When he sees a girl, his own baby sister, nothing but an emergency help for Ava?A... blood vessel?“Calm down,” I can’t help my tone dropping cold, handing him his phone, “it was three days ago. By the way, that actually was what the whole fuss was about.”“Huh?” Gabriel calms down and blinks, seemingly surprised, “Ava told me it was something about mom...?”Yeah. About how Anna lured Scar back.“She hasn’t been talking about leaving for a long time now, ever since...” Gabriel glances at me, and immediately I realize the words he didn’t say--Ever since I married her. I feel sick again.“She ha
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 023 Code Red
Sebastian’s POVAdrian Dunn is bad news.He inherited from his father not only the biggest newspaper in town, but also his cold dark view of the world from the last century. He believes not in law, but in power; not in just, but in narratives. He hurts people without a blink even if they are innocent, and he protects those whom he cares to no boundaries.I stand against everything he is, and that puts his target on my back.“What do you say, Seb-babe?” Adrian smirks. As if the bruises on his cheekbone doesn’t hurt at all.Right. I also hate his lousy low-taste nicknames.“Fuck off, Adrian,” Gabriel stands up, using his “intimidating walk” on Adrian -- pressing his bulky features into his face.Adrian is my height, but Gabriel is almost 6.5 feet, bulky no less. I think that’s why he got his bully name even though he doesn’t really do the bully shit. Also why Adrian calls him “bear”.Adrian is not flinching.“You don’t want to fight me, teddy bear,” Adrian doesn’t even put his icon fake
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 024 Secret From Five Years Ago
Scarlett’s POV“Ewww! That’s the truth???” Aurora exclaims, “You SLEPT with him?! Seriously?!”After running into Gabriel at Nightingale, we couldn’t stay there. Instead, we found a small, random bar down the street. A quiet, cozy small place, perfect for girls' talk.Lilith closes her eyes with a desperate look, dying under Aurora’s judgy looks, “Accidently, okay? The key word is accident!”Now that makes sense. Lilith used to be the one handling most of my “code reds”. I can’t imagine two enemies just suddenly fall in love. But then again, Gabriel looked deeply in love though...“But Gabriel?!” Aurora takes a deep breath to calm herself, only to burst out again, “It’s...Gabriel!”Lilith looks just as devastated as Aurora.“When was that?” I ask. If it’s recent, then we might need to buy another set of pregnant tests. A baby not born out of love is the last thing we want...again.Lilith glances at me before darting her eyes off to her glass.“What?” Aurora and I exchange a confused l
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 025 The Iron Lady
Scarlett’s POV“I was mad at you for loving him when he was a total jerk to you, but that’s not the main reason why I couldn’t talk to you in all these years.” Lilith starts with a nervous look.I did not see that coming. I really thought that was the reason.“I...I know a secret, sort of, of Sebastian’s, I didn’t want to tell you because it would only hurt you, but I don’t know how to face you when I know I’m keeping such a secret from you, so...”Her blurt is baffling but I sort out a lead, somewhat--“Okay, so what’s this big secret?”Taking a deep breath, Lilith looks like she is preparing herself for her death sentence before she says slowly:“May 21st, five years ago, do you...remember?”How could I not? That was the day Sebastian came to me and said “he agrees” -- to my deal for his hand. I thought it was his version of “I do”. Sourly mistaken.How happy I was that day! I close my eyes, feeling so stupid when that memory pops up in my mind. I knew he didn’t love me, I knew he o
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 026 Happiest Day Of My Life
Scarlett’s POV“Not couldn’t, just didn’t, at first,” Aurora explains patiently.Lilith looks vexed at herself.“You were already planning the wedding, so we thought there was no need to let you know that he proposed to Ava.” Aurora continues, “That would only plant a bump in your marriage. It won’t do good to anyone.”“We only found out that he went to propose to you on the same day later,” Lilith adds with a devastated look, “I tried to tell you again, but I couldn’t, seeing how happy you were in those days.”Yeah, the happiest days of my life were the few days after Sebastian agreed to marry me...until the wedding started my five-year-long nightmare.“It’s okay, it’s not like I didn’t know that he loves Ava...”“No, you don’t get it,” Lilith cups my face, looking into my eyes firmly, “It’s not about him loving Ava. The Iron Lady threw Ava out! She forbade Sebastian from marrying Ava! They wouldn’t have gotten married even if you didn’t marry him. You, didn’t, break them up!”What..
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 027 How to Blackmail A Billionaire
Scarlett’s POV“Yep,” Aurora grins at Lilith, “I was shocked, too, three days ago. If I didn’t see her floating out of the Fuller’s Villa like a ghost, I wouldn’t have believed that she’s over that jerk, either.”That was hellish of a day. I didn’t know I was having a low fever until Aurora found me sitting by the pool. I wouldn’t have had any strength to walk out if she didn’t go in to look for me.“No need to trash him. He has the right to not love me,” I shake my head, “I was the one at fault, and I learned my lesson now.”“Sure, but he didn’t have to torture you!” Aurora grunts, rolling her eyes, “Besides, he is the one agreeing to the deal, and HE didn’t deliver his end! It’s totally not worth it!”I laugh at the ranting Aurora, suddenly feeling so much better about this whole thing. She is wrong, but it IS a pleasure to be favored without reason. No wonder Ava likes it.“Wait, what’s not worth it?” Lilith gasps, staring at Aurora, “Scar finally told you about the deal?!”They on
