She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked [Mod]C33 A Good Story
Scarlett’s POV“Sorry!” I blurt, taking my eyes off his table, even more nervous, “It’s just...I mean...”I can feel my ears burning up. I’m lousy at this kind of stuff. I’d choose to deal with writing over people any time of the week, especially a businessman like him.“Relax, I was just joking,” He laughs, reaching out for a handshake, “I don’t imagine you’d be interested in it.”I don’t know how to answer this out-of-nowhere comment that seems to have some deeper meaning behind it, so I choose to ignore it and answer the one before that:“Thanks for the concern. The trip isn’t so bad,” I take his hand, adding when he cocked his eyebrows lightly, “I took the subway over, for that exact reason.”He laughs.I always knew him as the bad boy in school, one that nobody dares to mess with. So it’s actually an interesting feeling to see such a warm, friendly laugh from a guy like Adrian Dunn. And it helps me calm down.“I was starting to worry that you weren’t coming,” He pulls the chair ou

Scarlett's POVWhen I finished my pitch, I felt embarrassed and shocked -- I talked for 2 hours straight?!Standing in the elevator, I can’t help but to cover my face thinking about what just happened.He smiled at me with an encouraging look, nodded along, and even asked some simple questions, so I totally lost track of time.To think that I just took up the whole morning of a billionaire whose business was far more important than my movie...I didn’t know how to face Adrian Dunn at that moment, and when I looked up, he was smirking like a mischievous fox, seeing through my thoughts again.“Ughhh, I should probably...” I put away my iPad, pointing at the door, “Thank you very much for hearing me out!”The fox let out a laugh.“You don’t even have time for my decision?” Adrian Dunn curved his lips, his deep, shimmering eyes taunting behind his thin rimless glasses, “Not that I’d hate it if you just came here for a passionate chat...”“...” I totally forgot. Wasn’t my pitch the whole po

Scarlett’s POV“Mr. Dunn, I’m so sorry!” I turn to Adrian Dunn with my heart in my throat and my head dizzy at Sebastian’s provoking words.Did they always talk like this? Cause that’s easier to believe than thinking that Sebastian came on so aggressively because of me.“Why are you apologizing for him?” Adrian smirks at me, not playing by the rules, at all.“In case you forgot, she’s my wife!” Sebastian answers so fast as if he has been waiting a chance to declare that.“I’m NOT!” I snap at him, before taking a deep breath and turning back to Adrian Dunn, “Anyways, I’m sorry for the role I played in this, if any...”“No need to apologize.” The smile is back on Adrian’s face. His eyes land on Sebastian but he continues to speak to me saying, “I don’t consider you two a couple anymore, so. No reason to hold you responsible for anything HE does.”Sebastian looks like he wants to bury Adrian Dunn alive.With what seems like tremendous effort, he shifts his glare from Adrian Dunn to me: “C

Scarlett’s POVI don’t really want to go.I don’t know how to face Granny.I was the one who asked for this marriage, and I was the one ending it. Well, I was the one ending it because he never was in it. But I do owe Granny. She really tried to get to know me, and she changed from being mad at me to accepting me into her family. She has treated me with nothing but fairness. But now I’m disappointing her again.I don’t know how to tell her about the divorce.The only console is, Sebastian promised that he wouldn’t announce the news before Granny’s birthday party.I think that’s why he has been delaying his signature. Granny wants us to be happy, truly.“Why the long face?” Aurora nips my face tauntingly, “You look like you are not going to a party, but your death execution.”Yeah, a party where Sebastian would be, and surely Ava and probably Gabriel. If there is any difference between that and death execution, it’s that the latter is painless.“Thanks for coming with me, Aurora...” I p

Scarlett’s POVAva never acts mean to me in front of people. I mean, her team is not “people” to her. She doesn’t care to hide her true color in front of them, nor would they dare to say anything. This is why Aurora and Lilith knew little about my feud with her.“I’m fine, thanks,” I'm not at my best moment, but I would die faster spending time with Ava than walking a mile.I don’t like playing her acting game. I never understood the point of her faking a friendly face to me in front of people. Like if anyone else cares about whether she’s treating me nicely, while I would never fall for it myself. It’s a show for no audience.The car stops. Sebastian comes out of the driver’s side, glaring at me across the car with a cold tone: “Get in.”I roll my eyes, walking away.I’m no longer the stupid fucking dog following him around with smitten eyes and he can’t fucking order me around anymore!“Scarlett Fuller,” Sebastian calls my full name calmly from behind. That’s his way of showing real

Scarlett’s POV“Scar, what’s wrong?” Aurora frowns, then as if realized something, she slowly looks up at the fancy hotel, her voice now shivering, too, “...what’s today’s party again...?”Then she takes a gasp.“Yeah...” My brain freezes, and before I could do anything, I watched a police car pulling up, and Lilith comes off.“You sure it’s here? It doesn’t look like a place for people like us--” Damon’s voice follows Lilith out as she sprints to us, “Lil!”“Scar!” Lilith crushes into me for a big hug, turning to make a naught face at Damon, “Told you I got the right address!”Damon sticks his head out at me and Aurora: “Sorry I’m dumping my problem on you guys, but I’m on a case right now and I really can’t--”“It’s okay, we got her,” Aurora nods at him, and I dart my eyes down to the ground -- we can’t tell Lilith to leave now. It wouldn’t be any less humiliating than telling her it’s an upper-class party that we are going for.And Lilith came in a pair of jeans. Just great.Aurora

Scarlett’s POVI really want to throw my purse into his face before leaving with Lilith, but I can’t do that to Granny. Our war should not ruin her day.In the end, we watched Sebastian and Ava walk in with winning smiles, leaving us by the gate. While Ava attacked Lilith just to upset me, she has a point. I can’t let Lilith walk in there in her jeans. It would definitely upset Granny.So long as we get a dress, we can make it through the party. Granny might not even notice her.“It’s okay, I can wait for you guys at some bar nearby,” After me and Aurora’s awkward explanation, Lilith hugs us with a comforting smile, “I really don’t mind.”“It’s only because--” I want to explain more. If only I had told Aurora what the party was about.If only I thought I could handle Sebastian and Ava on my own...“You know I don’t like this kind of stuff, I understand,” Lilith grins at me, not looking offended. Or she just hides it well.“I--”“What seems to be the problem here?”An unfamiliar voice c

Sebastian’s POVGranny’s birthdays have been the happiest days of our marriage, that’s for sure.For a moment there, I seem to have seen the Scar I used to know. When I felt her tender body under my plam again, when I saw her lively eyes. When she talked to me.She used to report everything to me. Even a weird-shaped cloud outside her window she would take a picture and send it to me, adding a smiley face. But now, all she talks about with me is the fucking divorce.I don’t want a divorce.Too much is at stake. The stock, the company’s image, Granny’s wrath. I clearly remember how stern Granny was when she heard that the marriage was a deal Scar made by threatening a life. I don’t know how Scar turned Granny around, but Granny loves Scar now, sometimes more than she loves me.Scar keeps using Ava to probe me. About how I can marry Ava now. That’s how I know she still cares about me, she just hides her love away and wouldn’t let me see any. Her way of showing her love used to be nothing

What?!All happened too fast and Scar is not even coming around. Her body is moving before her mind catches up. Her legs could barely keep up with his pace. All she knows is, that Sebastian is holding her hands tight in his palm, his palm warm and firm.“Careful!” Sebastian kicks open the back door of the warehouse, blocking the rebound of the door as he shouts at Scar, “This way!”They turn left right after they dash out of the door even though the door is open to a huge yard.Why? They might have guns? Scar finds it funny that her brain is full of a bunch of useless nonsense, but it can’t process what’s going on or what to do next when she tries.“Do you think you can climb over the wall if I get you on my shoulder? Scar?!”It’s only when Sebastian’s shout pulls her flowing mind back that she realizes he already led her down to the wall of the yard. She can’t. The wall is over four meters. Even a ninja couldn’t climb over a smooth concete wall like this.“I can’t! I’m sorry!” Scar b

“What are you doing here?!” Scar blurts.She was expecting Silco to come to save her. Maybe even Damian. They are the only two who know her whereabouts. Never did she expect her cold Ex who had all his heart on Ava would come to her rescue when she literally just slapped him and announced her death sentence on that girl he cared about enough to challenge the law.Maybe he was telling the truth?“Who the fuck are you?!” The driver demands at Sebastian, visibly more panicking than before.Looks like he is new to this business.“Hey, calm down,” Scar has to remind him when his hand is shaking, “You don’t want to carry a life on your head, do you?”“Ohh, sorry!” The driver blurts.Scar: “...”Is he really an outlaw Jack Fuller hired to rob her?! Did he just apologize to her for putting a knife on her neck?The driver doesn’t answer. Scar turns to his side slightly, just enough to glance at the earbuds he is wearing. He is getting orders from his boss!“Don’t move!” The driver snaps at Sca

It’s the car that followed Scar out of the auction house.She should have known. But too distracted, she didn’t notice that they tailed us earlier. It wasn’t a misunderstanding. They WERE following her and they ARE after something.The files!“Off, the car!” The driver came off our side and is now outside Scar’s door. His barrel pointed right at her head.“Author? Author, are you okay?” Scar opens her door slowly, taking the chance to ask for her loyal driver.Authur blacked out on his seat.“Off, now!” The guy demands again, knocking on her window in haste.“Jack Fuller sent you, didn’t he?” Scar comes out of the car, putting on a calm mask, “However much he is giving you, I can double the price.”“I don’t know what you are talking about,” The guy replies impatiently, “All I know is, you have to come with me.”“I--” Scar wants to give it another shot, and the gun almost sticks into her mouth. She purses her lips, and the guy indicates a direction with his gun, pushing her forward.An
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 251 Her Crash
Long after Scar stormed out of Sebastian’s company, her hands are still shaking. It takes three of Authur for her to snap out of it to hear his question.“Where are we heading now, Miss?” Authur is patient just as the first time he asked her.“Sorry!” Scar takes a deep breath, combing her hair with her fingers to calm herself, “Let me…give me a minute.”She’s two hours early for her dinner plan with Damian. Either going back to Silco, or sitting by herself for another two hours. But Scar wants to do neither.She can’t help letting Sebastian’s words get to her.If it was before, she would never doubt his word even when he treated her as his enemy. That man doesn’t lie. But now? She’s not sure. He let Ava get to her not once, but twice. Honesty is not the only thing that matters in this game.She’s not even sure if his feelings have changed about lying. After all, it was Ava. Scar won’t be surprised no matter what that man does for her.Could it be true though?She didn’t see that woman
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 250 The Gloves Are Off
The fateful night five years ago, Sebastian almost lost the two people he cared about the most. His wife, and his unborn baby that he didn’t even know existed. He spent all the time he could spare after taking care of the baby and Scar on tracking the person who broke in, and he knew as much as the police if not more. That’s why the policeman didn’t arrest Ava --It wasn’t her.Ava didn’t cut her wrist when she was taken to the hospital. She did sneak out of her room and back in through her window. All of that was true. Scar accused Ava of being in the house, and provided detailed evidence about when she heard noises in the house and what happened after that, and the police did look in that direction. It was actually easy to find out how that person broke into the house without triggering the security system--Ava’s fingerprint was used as the last guest, exactly at the time when the break-in happened.But it was exactly Scar’s testimony that proved Ava’s innocence--Ava was captured

“I told you, I’m not after your money nor your company,” Scar says calmly, dropping the card on the table.“Then what are you after? Why are you here with a card to help me from going bankrupt?” Letting the card bouncing off the table, Sebastian grabs her wrist instead before she could pull back. He leans in so close that she could smell his cologne, his head bent lower to nail her eyes as his whisper stiffens her body: “...why do you care at all…Mrs…Knight?”“I’m not--!” Scar tries to swing his hand off, only to stop in the middle of her outburst, glaring at him like a puffed balloonfish.Sebastian curves his lips.“You are not Mrs. Knight? I know.”Scar won’t answer.“You hate me, don’t you?” Sebastian announces. The pain in his voice hidden well. “You hate me so much that you don’t want anything to do with me, even if I’m handing you my everything. Why won’t you say it out loud?”Scar lowers her eyelids to prevent the man from seeing through her, but he continues--“The Scar I knew

Prepared for this question, Scar answers unnecessarily fast: “I couldn’t risk anyone helping Ava to get MY Mom’s necklace. That’s why.”Her answer dims the pleasant light in Sebastian’s eyes.“I know…” Sebastian nods slowly, hiding the disappointment in his eyes, “But you didn’t have to come help because of that, did you?”Scar snorts coldly: “I’m doing this for Granny, not you.”“Granny kicked me out of the company for what happened five years ago,” Sebastian lets out a light laugh, “I’m pretty sure she would be the last one who would want you to help me right now.”Scar raises her eyebrows. She didn’t think Granny would be so cruel to Sebastian, but then again, there weren’t too many who could rip Sebastian’s title easily.“What did you tell her?” Scar frowns.Scar blamed Sebastian only because he trusted the wrong person. Legally, or any other aspect speaking, he wasn’t the killer five years ago. He just protected the killer was all. But Ava was never convicted, and Scar didn’t thi

“You want to meet early?” Scar glances at her phone to make sure the caller is indeed Damian, “Sure thing, but how early can dinner be?”She’s a bit surprised that Damian would move their dinner plan forward, but considering how he has been making effort to build a connection, she persuaded herself.“Authur, could you--?”“Yes, Miss Green,” Authur answers swiftly, “After you deliver the card, I will drive you right over.”Scar: “…”This time she’s really not trying to dodge that bullet! Didn’t he hear that it was Damian Vanderbilt who--… Whatever.Standing in front of Sebastian’s new building, Scar is still grumbling Silco’s name, along with his evil loyal driver, Author. Sebastian’s new building is not the same as before – the modern design of Z-house as its own symbol. This time it’s just a normal building, low-key to the extreme, considering its owner’s usual luxurious style.A sour wave washes Scar’s heart.Kind and gentle, Sebastian was never low-key. He was the shining prince of

“Why do I have to do it myself?!” Scar huffs, glaring at Silco.Sitting on the sofa casually with his legs crossed, Silco glances at Scar from above the papers he’s reading, amused. A moment ago the girl was crying in his arms, and now she’s like a kitten with her tail stomped on.“I can send Arthur over!” Scar pouts.“If you can command him,” Silco answers almost gently, but the laughter in his voice is not hidden at all.Scar rolls her eyes.“I’ll just--I--” Scar blurts, fidgeting around, “You already gave up on Sebastian’s company, so why are you making the one last step so hard for me?!”“Sorry, I didn’t think delivering a card to a fancy office building with a driver at your service all the time would be a horrifying chore,” Silco answers, still with that annoying smile.“You KNOW that’s not what I’m talking about!” Scar snaps angrily. If she had been grateful to this man with her full heart a moment ago, she is now annoyed 120%, “You can send anyone but me!”“I’m spending two bi
