Sebastian’s POVAdrian smirks with a delighted tone at his phone.Did I miss anything here? I would understand if Jeremy Rogers did things by the book if he didn’t agree to help Adrian so quickly without even hesitation.It was a great chance for me to own him, and my help was worth something. It didn’t feel like he helped Adrian out of friendship, but that he chose to not help me out of some personal vendetta.But I don’t even know him personally!I’m pretty sure Adrian was going to hang up, but when he took a glance at me, he sighs lightly and adds to his phone, “Ohh, it came to my attention that the other Fuller girl is not answering her phone, either. Not sure if it’s related to Scar’s missing in any way but, this piece of information might help. Your judgment.”He ends the phone call, and I feel like I’m about to burst at humiliation and confused anger.“What?!” I snap at Adrian, can’t help my mean tone.“Well,” Adrian shrugs with an annoying smirk, “You are welcome.”I want to ar

Sebastian’s POVTo think that he might really know my wife better than I do is the worst feeling in the world. It’s like the most intimate corner of my heart is stained by another man, like untouched snow with an ugly, foreign footprint.“You--”“He’s here,” Adrian cuts me off, pulling up the car before he jumps off. I have to follow.We arrived at the building of Aurora’s apartment, and she was standing right in front of it, talking to a tall guy. The guy has soft, blonde hair. His figure is bulky with clear muscles under his police short sleeves. But when he turns around to us, his round chin instantly lights up a flare in the back of my head--The Three Musketeers! Not the book. It was us!I used to play fencing with Adrian. We met another boy at the fencing class and we became friends first, and later “the three musketeers”. It was decades ago though. I was only around ten when I dropped fencing.I wanted to keep visiting Ava, so I begged Granny to quit fencing and play football i

Scarlett’s POVWhen I woke up, everything was dark. For a moment, I thought it was still at night, only to see that I’m in a dark room when my eyes got used to the darkness.My mind is like a mush, and it’s adjusting even slower than my eyes as if someone injected fog into my brain.What happened? Where am I? I was in a car...? The last thing I could remember was Ava’s scared eyes.Ava!My memory of last night rushes into my mind as that name wakes them up, also is waking up is a throbbing pain in my temples. I frown, trying to rub my temples, only to realize that my arms are tied to the arms of a wooden chair.Now I remember.I didn’t want to go out to meet Ava when I got her message. She never reaches out to me, ever. She has got an army to do that if she ever needs me. Nor was there anything for us to talk about. The last time she “talked” to me, she showed the video of Sebastian when he confessed his feelings toward her, thinking Ava was the little girl he saved.I replied with a

Scarlett's POVThe man stands up with a hand supporting his heavy body on the table, then starts stretching his limbs in a string of painfully slow moves, ignoring me and Ava in total. His hair is messy, and his smelly clothes loosely hang from his beer belly. Then he opens a bottle of water, rinses before he swallows the water in his mouth, and splashes water on his face and head until the bottle is empty. He grabs what looks like a dirty shirt and wipes his head.He doesn’t look like a thug. Thug has better bodies...and probably healthier lifestyles, too.But that doesn’t mean he is not a predator. He abducted two girls -- I’ll take Ava’s words on this for the sake of argument -- tied them to chairs in a dark room of what looks like an abandoned building, and it seems that his intention behind his slow movements is intimidation. Like the play before a cat kills a mouse it caught.Then all of a sudden, he pulls a string hanging in the room and lights penetrate my eyes, leaving a sour

Sebastian's POVI split from Adrian after his horrible accusation.Ava doesn’t like Scar, sure. But she would never commit a crime. I don’t believe the innocent angel I met would suddenly turn capable of harming someone with cold blood.24 hours have passed, and the cops found nothing. All they were able to do was to determine that both girls left home willingly, and disappeared from the security camera’s blind spots. How much does it take to fucking cover the city with some damn cameras?!I don’t fucking need Adrian and his police bud! I’ve got friends, too! I filed a formal missing person’s request through a friend, claiming that I have reason to believe that my wife was abducted and being transported out of the city, and the feds were more than happy to intervene.With one of the girls missing being my wife, and both of them my close acquaintances, I was questioned thoroughly before being kept on site --The FBI determined this abduction case a crime targetting me, and though it’s

Sebastian’s POVI mean, I can’t be sure that I have never seen him in my life, and that can be the smidgen of familiarity I feel looking at his photo. And my heart drops--It’s much harder if it’s a random guy instead of the owner who did this.“Fuck!” I rub my head, throwing the photos on the sofa hard. The splash does not ease my nerves.“It’s okay,” Jim is leaving, but he stops and pats my shoulder instead, “We are not tracing the owner, but the car. Don’t be too hard on yourself.”“So what’s your deal with Adrian?” I ask Jim, knowing he is trying to comfort me. He knows Adrian, too. Actually, I knew Jim through Adrian. Jim is two years our senior in college.“We let him know, if the kidnapper ever calls you.” Jim shrugs.He doesn’t think the kidnapper would. After all, it has been more than a day. If it's ransom a kidnapper is after, they would contact immediately. So why haven’t they??Anything could have happened in 24 hours. What if it wasn’t abduction? What if it was human tra

Scarlett’s POVThe guy left the room, leaving us tied to the chair for a whole day.I know because while the window opens to what seems like the inside of an abandoned building, the change of light still somewhat indicates time. But knowing that doesn’t help us at all. The dangerous stranger is no longer our biggest threat --Hunger is.We haven’t had food, or even water for a very long time.“Where did he go?! Is he just going to leave us like this forever?!”Some hours ago, Ava was capable of vigorous complaints like this, and now she can barely talk.But she has a point. If the guy just left us at a random abandoned building, then there is less of a chance for anyone to locate us while he can go and get all the alibi he needs. And condemning him is not even the problem because we would have died way before that could happen.My stomach groans.My appetite has grown bigger since the pregnancy. The baby has grown used to his aunt Aurora and aunt Lilith feeding him all kinds of cuisine

Scarlett’s POV“I’m sorry for your loss, but this is the first time I’m hearing about this,” I talk to the guy, and taking a glimpse into his sad story, I find it easier to talk in a sympathy tone, “May I know her name?”He shoots me a glare, but he grumbles: “Sparrow. Sparrow Ryan.”“That’s a cute name,” I try to smile at him. I actually feel like I do know that name. My brain stores a glimpse of that name because it was so special. But I can’t remember what happened to her. It wasn’t registered anywhere near Sebastian though.If her death had anything to do with Sebastian, I would know. I picked up everything about him like drops of treasures.“Wait, I know her!” Ava suddenly takes a surprised gasp, “She jumped off a building for Justin Roland! She was his stalking fan--”Did her energy-lacking brain malfunction? All words out of Ava are products of serious calculation, always. I have never seen her blurting things so recklessly against her innocent act.She realized her mistake eve

She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 273 The Bastard
“Sebastian, please. You know today is important to mom,” In the end, Ava softens her voice, putting on her innocent victim act. After all, that’s the role she has been practicing her full life, “Mom sees Mrs. Green as her own granny, and they haven’t seen each other in decades. I just want to make sure that the night will go smoothly, that’s all.”Sebastian cocks his eyebrows, genuinely shocked. A bit apprehensive, he dares not to look at Scar, only to realize Scar might not even know--Scar has no clue that her mom has anything to do with THE Green family in the country. Not to mention the fact that Anna Fuller knew Emma way before their marriage drama with Johnny Vanderbilt. Green is too common a name, and Scar only picked it because the only one who ever showed her love was the mom who died for her.“I don’t think being rude to Mrs. Green’s invited guest would do that,” Sebastian grabs Scar’s wrist, showing the invitation held in her hand to Ava as if it’s just an innocent move. Sc

For the preparation of the script, Sebastian offered Scar an office at his company – a special perk that none of his movies had shared before. After all, there is no such need for his directors OR his writers to have an office at the headquarters.Of course, it’s just his way of trying to get close to Scar.And of course, Scar didn’t take up on his offer.She wanted Sebastian’s company to deliver her movie because Ava would hate that. Nothing else. Rejected, Sebastian allowed the month Scar wanted for the script, and told her there would be a shooting team ready for her.The next time Scar met Sebastian, it had already been a week after the incident with Ava, who didn’t make any move during. For a moment there, Sebastian expected a divorce paper from Ava, but she didn’t do it.The condition for Ava to donate blood for Scar was that Sebastian would marry Ava, give her Z-house, and… he can’t divorce her.Unlike Scar, Sebastian was sentenced to life that night.“What is SHE doing here?”

“What are you doing here?!”An angry shout bursts out when Scar is just finishing putting her signature down on the contract.Ava barges into the office.Sebastian wasted no time to fulfill his promise as if worried that she would back out of the deal she brought to him. Worried about Ava? Even after all the shitty things Ava pulled, he still takes care of her. Protecting Ava is a habit carved deep into his bones.His secretary drafted the movie contract with shocking speed. Scar would have had her lawyer go through it, but she didn’t. Even if there were loopholes in the contract, she wouldn’t care.Her target was never the profit. It was Ava.Watching Ava storming in, Scar just sits there with a taunting smile. This is such a familiar scene that Scar almost can’t stop herself from laughing -- there was a time when she was the angry wife storming into his office when he was spending time with Ava.“Fancy seeing you here, Mrs. Knight,” Scar taunts with her head tilted. Ava pauses a sec

“How long have you been standing there?!”Sebastian didn’t realize he had been standing there staring until Scar suddenly looked up only to gasp startled.“Sorry! I knocked but you didn’t hear me,” Sebastian blurt, raising both his hands, “I didn’t want to disturb.”His polite and gentle tone raises guilt in Scar. She was the one who came unannounced, and still he agreed to talk. She is in HIS meeting room and she just shouted at him when she was the one being rude.“Sorry…” She mumbles, frowning at herself. She just realized that she still owe the man a “thank you”, and instead of that, she seemed to have bullied him again. She spent her whole teenage years trying to get his attention and she failed, but now when she wants to cut him out of her life, it only seems to tangle their lives even closer.“You wanted to see me?” The man smiles at her, pulling out the chair at the end of the long table, next to her but not too close as the one beside her would be.Scar likes the distance. He
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 269 Never Asked Question
Sebastian never got that phone call.Mainly because Scar didn’t go through it. Call it cold feet, but she wasn’t even sure how to talk to him about it -- about her revenge plan.Never before had she felt so lonely, not even in those five years.In those five years, she knew she was shutting herself down. She couldn’t let herself crawl out of the grief of her baby, but she knew she had friends, and maybe families if she wanted.Not like now.She was so determined to die with Ava. To ruin her life like how Ava ruined hers, before ending it with their death. That was so simple and efficient a plan, and she was okay with that.But she can’t find the courage to embrace death in her anymore, not after the incident with Sebastian.She didn’t know if he saved her out of love or guilt, but he did save her. She had a glimpse of death, and he sheltered that dark shadow with his own body, and that shone a new light on her life. She is still living in the big house Silco got her, having all the fa

“Why is Scar mama starting at the sky all the time?”Alice’s voice pulls back Scar’s wondering mind. She blinks, only to realize that she has again lost her train of thought sitting on the bay window in her bedroom. She has been like this for a week after the incident with Sebastian.She feels like a part of her is left behind at the dim abandoned factory, but she can’t pin down what.From the corner of her eye, she spots Alice sticking her head into her bedroom but only barely as if trying to hide, but her chubby hands grabbing the frame of the door already exposed her long before.How cute. Scar thinks.Pretending that she didn’t spot Alice, Scar sighs, drawling her tone as if talking to herself: “What a dull view. If only my cute little Alice is right here right now...”“But I am!” Alice couldn’t wait but jumped out from where she was hiding, raising her arms high up with a smile brighter than the sun, “Scar mama, I’m here to visit you!”Scar bursts into laughter as she picks Alice
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 267 Rule Of The Game
That’s the only plausible option.He has no idea who Silco is, and he takes this blind shot only because: he doesn't feel any hostility from Silco against Scar. Silco IS pulling off some dirty shit, but it wasn’t to hurt HER. He was the only target in this show.Silco sent the men to abduct her, but the crash managed to hit the front left corner of Scar’s car when she was in the right back seat, where she would take the least damage. They imprisoned her but didn’t even pull a knife on her, not until he barged in. They chased after them with bats and others, but Scar came out with not even a scratch.They could have easily cracked his skull when he tried to guard the door with his own body.Even if it was all a show, it was carried out with great care. His motive is not hatred toward Jack Fuller, but care for Scar. After this long, the man has dodged only one of his questions: why he is helping Scar.Why indeed. There is no other possibility.To his surprise, Sebastian’s question makes
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 265 Silco's Command
“And puts him away for two or three years with half of that time paid off with YOUR money?” Silco lets out a cold snort, “Did you get to where you are all by your grandma’s wealth and that empty head of yours?”Sebastian’s ears turn red.“The only reason I would not press charges is if they would provide information on Jack Fuller, and Jack Fuller knows that,” Silco explains impatiently as if facing a silly student, “even if they deny that, Fuller won’t believe it. He is that kind of man.”“You know him personally?!” Sebastian catches that quickly.Silco lets out a cold smirk, but this time with satisfaction in his eyes.“Jack Fuller has some links to the mafia,” Silco continues, ignoring Sebastian’s question, “and I want to dig up his roots this time. Get it, smart kid?”“I’ll play along if you let me in your treatment plan for Scar,” Sebastian negotiates.“Now you care about her? Did you care when you left her for that mistress of yours on her wedding day? Did you care when you enjo
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 264 The Conundrum
Sebastian doesn’t want to.“I know about her episodes,” He pushes these words out of his clenched teeth. He got in touch with Scar’s medical team back when she was in the facility, but all he knew was, Scar couldn’t handle any strong emotion waves for now.“I know you do,” Silco laughs carelessly, “I was the one who told them to let you in. How else do you think you could get to MY people?”Sebastian frowns because he doesn’t want to look too surprised. The truth is, he IS surprised. He couldn’t get much more information no matter how much he offered, and before today, he thought the medical team was only being loyal to their vows of being doctors.Only now does he realize -- this man has been in control of everything. Reluctantly, Sebastian has to admit his defeat: “Please, tell me what she needs.”Silco lets out a cold snort, making it clear that he is not pleased: “You know what DPD is?”Sebastian nods. He has expected that to be her diagnosis, and he has been looking into it.“And
