She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 054 Undesired
Sebastian’s POVShe doesn’t love me anymore. Still having a hard time getting used to it, but I can’t deny that anymore.It’s not supposed to be like this, but I feel like I lost something precious. How could you feel bad for losing something you never wanted in the first place? How is that fair?! I didn’t want it, but she forced her love into my hand, and now she is taking it back, still with force. I never had a chance to make a decision in this.Never in my life, have I ever felt what “unreachable desire” is.I never knew what I had until it was lost. But it was gone too fast. One second, it was as solid as the ground under my feet, and the next second it was just gone. How could someone shut down their love, so firm and decisive?She didn’t just take care of our house, she built a home for us. When I “go home”, she should be there. With a smile, in a lingerie, cooking. Anything. It was a place where no problem could penetrate, where I could rest and refresh for the next day. She ma
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 055 The Perfect Crime
Scarlett’s POVI would have given everything for such a speech from him, five years ago.Hell. I did give everything, when I asked for exactly what he is offering me today. If only he had been less cruel to me anywhere in the past five years; if only he believed Granny and did not let his emotion cloud his judgment. But life has no “if only”. I’m not there anymore. I’m not excited, or happy. I’m just tired.I just want to live my own life without them keep on hurting me.I can’t go back, not for Granny’s wish, not for my coming baby, not for a Sebastian who still doesn’t see me.He still doesn’t know that it was me who he saved in the woods, not Ava.I only found out about this misunderstanding five years ago. When Ava came bragging to me with a recording of Sebastian saying the three scared words to her, promising that he would have no one but her as his wife in this lifetime.In the video, Sebastian looked into Ava’s eyes, and said that all he wanted to do was to protect the little g
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 056 Adrian’s Lie
Scarlett’s POVI turn to Adrian Dunn, and instantly Sebastian hastes: “Don’t go with him, please!”“I’m sorry I forced your hand five years ago,” Magically, I find myself able to talk to him with peace now, “But we both know you couldn’t have married Ava back then even if I didn’t. So, call it even? Now that Ava is cured, and Granny has given her the approval, too. You can go ahead and do what you want this time. Just...”I feel bad not telling him the truth, but I don’t want him to know about the mistake now. It would only drag on the tie between us that I no longer want, and it would ruin my only good memory of him.“Just, make sure this time it’s what you want...please.”I suddenly understood what Granny meant when she said she could only save him once. I could only save him once. He tries to marry Ava this time, I won’t be there to “speak up”.If Sebastian was going to say anything at all, he wouldn’t now, not with Adrian Dunn’s presence. He raises the folder slowly, reluctance wri
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 057 The Blind Guy
Scarlett's POV“You and Sebastian! You are not exactly ‘nemesis’, are you?!” I should have known from the way he talked to Granny. Even if he didn’t like Sebastian, there was no way he would really hurt the Knight’s empire.Adrian Dunn shoots me a weird look, amused.But that only adds to the puzzle.“Then why did you help me...?” If his goal wasn’t Sebastian’s gossip?“Do you mean why I accepted your movie proposal, or why am I driving you home?” Adrian cocks an eyebrow, pleasure visible on his face.“The former,” I blurt, “actually, make it both!”He burst into laughter.“Welllll,” He drawls tauntingly, his smirking eyes kept on the road, “I’m driving you home to deliver a promise I made to two ladies. I hate to disappoint beautiful ladies. And as the former...”His tone makes me nervous for no good reason. I didn’t notice I was holding my breath until he glanced at me and laughed--“I already told you.”“You said you weren’t doing it just for the gossip...” I hesitate, that’s not ex
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 058 The Fencing Gemini
Scarlett's POVI do not see the “devil” Aurora paints Adrian Dunn as, at all.It was actually a huge pleasure talking to him. When I first reached out to Adrian, all I knew about him was his “throne” of being Sebastian’s nemesis, AND the million complaints on how “mean and petty” he was from Aurora.Apparently she was in a play and he made fun of her make-up. He messed up her hair, and she fell when she tried to get back at him. Of course that made him laugh at her even more, and then he became Aurora’s enemy, and made it on every one of her blacklists.I guess he grew out of the mean boy he was, opposite to Sebastian.But the better he is to me, the more guilty I feel toward Aurora. I came to him because of our common enemy, but he wasn’t.“You and Sebastian were best friends?!” I exclaim, my jaw on the ground. I never knew! Me! The biggest fan of Sebastian throughout these years, and yet I didn’t know! How?!“We had a fall out...some years ago,” Adrian takes a shrug, looking indiffer
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 059 The Missing Case
Sebastian’s POV“What do you mean she didn’t make it home?”I barely made it to my office when I got a call from Jack, asking if Ava spent the night with me. Like, why would she? She has never spent the night at any place besides home, including mine. She was that fragile a doll.“You picked her up, so why didn’t you take her back home?!” Jack instantly explodes, shouting at the top of his lungs, “How could you be so irresponsible?! Don’t you know how dangerous it is for her out there?!”I want to tell him that Ava is her own person and a grown-up now, but this is not the right time.“I’m on this,” I tell him instead, “I’ll get back to you.”I put Alfred on the phone next, but he told me he put Ava down at the Fuller’s Villa, and he literally watched Ava go in. So either Jack Fuller lied about her returning home, or she came out on her own after Alfred left, for some reason.Jack Fuller would never joke about Ava’s safety.I tried Ava’s phone, and of course, nothing came up. If she’s
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 060 Nasty Jealousy
Sebastian’s POV“What-what do you mean?” I frown, my heart speeding up before my brain can process the information, “Scar is missing, too?”“Who else is missing?” Aurora reacts fast, “Adrian Dunn is not answering his phone, and he took Scar yesterday--”“I know!”It took me all my manner to not burst into curses. What the fuck did Adiran do this time?! I wouldn’t be surprised if he took Scar back to his place, against her will even! That guy is fucking crazy! The moment I gave Scar the divorce papers and he already made his move?!I didn’t even fucking sign those damn papers!Five years ago he got into a fight with me right before my wedding day, going crazy about something like I shouldn’t go into marriage with a girl I didn’t love. I thought it was about me, but never did I expect that huge fallout was because of his feelings for Scar.I never even knew they knew each other that well.I hang up the phone and dash out, passing Miller on my way out. He drives too slowly. I think Mille
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 061 Need A Solid
Sebastian’s POVAdrian kept his gabbling on all the way to the elevator, leaving me drowning in the sour happiness of realizing how hard it is to accept Scar being with someone else, and how pathetic that is.“God damn it, Sebastian?!” Adrain snaps when he enters the elevator only to see me still outside, “Get it together! Are you fucking kidding me?! I sent Scar home and I watched her enter Aurora’s building! Are you sure she’s not with some friend?”“Aurora said she never came home last night,” I finally snap out of it. My head was unbelievably light at the enlightenment that Scar hadn’t spent her night with Adrian, but then it hit me, “You watched her go into the building?”Sounds awful like Ava’s case.“Ave hasn’t made it home either from yesterday’s party. I got Jeremy Rogers on the case,” I tell Adrain as I pull my phone to call Miller, only to see five missed calls from him, “Give me one minute--”“I doubt Jeremy would care,” Adrian lets out a cold snort, shaking his head with
