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
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 028 A Bad Liar
Scarlett’s POVI laugh, rolling my eyes: “There really isn’t. The technique is pretty mature now. You just feel some mild discomfort for about a week, and a bit tired for a while, but that’s it. So long as you don’t donate multiple times within 6 months, it’s totally safe.”Lilith stares at me, and so does Aurora. I drink my lemonade, playing calm. I’m a really bad liar. But I don’t want to describe the real pain to them. What’s the point, it’s over now.6 months is the safe period for a reason. For up to several months after the donation you can feel fatigue, weakness and sometimes obvious pain and discomfort, which varies by people.“Does it leave a scar?” Lilith leans in and tries to look down my shirt.“No!” I shrill with laughter, grabbing my collar as I dodge her, “This is a bar, pervert!”“Exactly,” Lilith puts on an evil smirk, “isn’t striping what people do in a bar?”“Aurora! You just sit there and watch her bully me?!”Aurora sips her drink and watches us wrestle for a whil
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 029 Take Her Home
Scarlett’s POVLong after Damon left, I’m still standing on the street corner with Aurora, showering in the no-longer-too-warm breeze of the end of summer because she is staring in the direction where his car has left.“Someone is smittennnn,” I tease when I have to rub my arms to keep warm, “do you want me to call 911 to arrange a date for you?”“What?!” Aurora snaps out of it, exclaiming, “What are you talking about!”“Umm, the elephant on the street???” I follow her as she strides in to dodge my eyes, “Since when?!”“I’m not into him!” Aurora shouts with red ear tips, “You--”She suddenly stops, and I giggle as I follow her sight to look, only to freeze where I am.Sebastian, leaning against the wall elegantly beside the elevator. He bends his swan neck a little, his soulful eyes landing on the ground as if in deep thought. His hands are in his pants pockets, and he has one leg curled up a little with the tip of his shining shoes pointed at the ground.Damn peacock. He has to look
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 030 A Light Thing
Sebastian’s POV“Why? Did something go wrong with Ava?” Scar frowns with a shrug, folding her arms.She is not even trying to be sarcastic, and that’s the most sarcastic.I thought my words would make her happy, like before. I know she is really hurt this time, but I thought her eyes would light up with sparkles even though she would try to maintain a cold face to fish for more comforting words from me, like before.But there is none.I never knew her watery purple eyes could be so cold like dry ice. It stings to look at her eyes like that.You really want a divorce? I dare not ask. She would only say yes, even just to hurt me.My mind has been in turmoil since Adrian messed it up. I can’t imagine Scar asking for a divorce for real, but she hasn’t been home for almost a week now, and she is not planning to any time soon. I’m not used to this. The whole house feels different now.It’s no longer a home. Just a house.I used to think it was silly for her to stay up for me when I got home
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 031 The Real Deal
Scarlett’s POVDid I hear him right?!The man who never treated me like his wife, who kept a relationship with my sister on the side when married to me, who tormented me like I was his enemy for five years, is now accusing ME of treating marriage too light?!What is our marriage to him anyway? Nothing but trash!“Fake marriages, yes!” I suppress the urge to shout at him, but I can’t help my tone turning cold, “Still heavier than you have been treating it though.”“Is that how you justify you and Adrian?!” He lets out a disbelieving laugh as if I’m being ridiculous.Adrian??? I sent that guy ONE message and now I’m the one cheating?!“No! How about I justify it with my fucking husband kissing my sister behind my back?!” I finally did it. I didn’t want to bring it up to add to my humiliation, but he just had to force it out of me.I thought I could put it down, but it fucking hurts!He doesn’t hate me saving his Ava over and over, he doesn’t hate me when I stay up with some snack for h
