She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 068 The Last Day
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

Sebastian’s POVHis name doesn’t ring a bell, but his daughter’s does.The moment I realized it was the kidnapper speaking, I put the call on speaker and wrote down the name for Jim. They pulled out his whole life with lightning speed.But I didn’t need that anymore.Justin Roland was a talented actor, but being a nobody, he had never got any role deserving of his talent before I signed him four years ago. Struggling with tuition for college, he was going to drop out of high school to be a model. Upon hearing that, I offered him a movie under the condition that he would go through college. He did, with excellent grades.The girl, Sparrow Ryan was a high school classmate of his. I don’t want to speak ill of the dead, so let’s just stick with the fact that Roland had a high school sweetheart who he married last year, and the Ryan girl did not like that.She jumped off a building on Roland’s wedding day.I normally don’t follow this detailedly into events like this happening in one of my

Sebastian’s POVJim makes an “okay” gesture at me at the same time. They traced Liam Ryan’s location and he is telling the truth. Jim raises a paper at me, on which it wrote [stall, planting sniper].“I’ll be there as soon as I can,” I speak into my phone, trying to think of anything to say to stall without him noticing, “Do you want me to bring Justin Roland with me? You think he is the murderer, no?”He pauses, obviously taken by surprise at my suggestion.“That’s true...yeah, take that bastard,” He grumbles, “His wife, too!”“Okay, I’ll pick them up on my way over,” I assure him, walking out as I keep talking, “I didn’t know this had anything to do with his wife though?”“That bitch spared no effort mudding my sparrow!”“But--”“Stop stalling and shut the fuck up! Or I might just kill one, just to pass time!”He hangs up. I glance at Jim, and he nods: “You did good. I’ll come with. Brief me about this Justin person?”Honestly, there isn’t much to tell. Justin has been with his curr

Sebastian’s POVJim took the shotgun. Upon Justin’s words, he exchanges a glance with me in the rear mirror with an unexplainable look. That’s a look mixed with confusion, surprise, and condemnation.Condemn that the story I told him was obviously biased. I told him what I heard from Justin, and because I trusted Justin, I assumed that was the truth. I forgot how people can make mistakes, even if they meant well. I don’t think Justin lied to me, but I think he didn’t tell the whole story because...He didn’t know the whole truth.Justin looks me right in the eyes, and I see a lost kid who is crying for help with the desperation in the tears twirling in there.“Justin, tell me what happened,” Using a firm but gentle tone, I grab the back of his neck and knead, like how I did with my little brother, “You can tell me. I’m here for you.”“I don’t know...!” The moment he opens his mouth, he burst into a hysterical rant, “I’m so fucking tired! I don’t know what to do! Everything I do is hor

Sebastian’s POVWe didn’t show up in front of Liam Ryan right away.If his goal was to hurt me, then there is no telling what he would do when he sees me. If he pushes one of the girls off at the sight of me, then everything is lost. We stopped the car far away from the building, and approached by foot. I wanted to leave Justin in the car, but he insisted on sticking with us just in case his absence would rile up Liam Ryan.He is a good kid, when it comes to serious business. He is just lost...blind, to his own feelings.I still think that Sparrow Ryan’s death cast a shadow on his would-have-been-perfect marriage, but it could be my own personal feelings talking. I just see a lot of me and Ava in Justin. He and Annie wanted each other, and they shared a special past that can’t be replaced. The only difference is, I caved into my Sparrow when he married his Ava.If Sparrow Ryan didn’t brand their marriage with her death, then Justin wouldn’t be such a mess. Her desire for Justin turned

Scarlett's POVThe building’s structure is like a hotel. The elevator is designed in the center, with two lines of small rooms going around it. We were in one of the rooms on the inner lines, and the light we saw came through the room on the outer circle.I didn’t know this until Liam Ryan dragged both Ava and me out of the room, through a pitch-dark hallway, to a huge hole in the center of the building.The half-built elevator shaft is like the enormous mouth of a monster lurking in the dark, waiting for us to drop in.The back of our chairs are inches away from the edge. I dare not to move, turn, or even peek at the abyss behind me, and I’m already getting dizzy from acrophobia.I’m going to puke...“Scared?” Liam Ryan smirks at me, “You weren’t looking so pale when I pulled you up from right that hole behind you, with that pulley.”I turn my head slightly, only to see what I can only call a middle school student craft homework. It’s just a few wheels with a rope! I can’t believe th
Last Updated : 2024-08-31She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 075 The Moment Of Truth
Scarlett’s POVI don’t want to get into an argument now. I’m too scared to be so close to an abyss that my limbs are all freezing. Besides, I don’t want to lower myself to the level of sabotaging another just to survive, though she might deserve it.“Did you know all these?” Liam Ryan turns to me with a cruel smile.He is standing between Ava and me, his back facing the abyss. Just one stumble could lead to his definite death. And Sebastian is obviously thinking the same because Liam Ryan laughs coldly at Sebastian: “Any funny movement from you, or any bullets from anywhere, I will take these two chairs down with me, along with their passengers.”Dead silence.And the next second Sebastian taps on his ear as he tells Liam Ryan: “They won’t come close. Don’t do anything reckless.”“Ohh, I’m not reckless, I know what I’m doing,” Liam Ryan smirks evilly, “Sebastian Knight, do you? Do you know where your heart lies?”If he dared to say my name, I'm going to fucking haunt him when I turned

“Miss Fuller, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” Scott bows at Scar with a distant, polite manner, but Scar could swear that he let out the smirk he was holding back when he bent his head.WTF? Scott was the “mysterious prince” the Greens were going to announce today?! He is the son of Elijah Green?! He saw that she was avoiding his father, and he helped her? Does Scott know about Silco? What does this even mean?The million surprises blow up Scar’s mind.“Haven’t seen you for a long time, Scott!” Ava gives him a bright smile, her eyes glittering with such pleasure.“We met just the other day in the Knight building,” Scott returns that smile with just the same excitement if not more, “You might not remember because you glanced at me but didn’t stop to talk when I greeted you. Didn’t recognize me, I presume?”&
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 286 The Lost Prince
Scar is seriously considering it now.She can’t sue them if they just witnessed a car accident, no matter how horrible it is to watch a mom die while taking her baby from her side. They could -- they would, Scar is sure -- claim that Emma begged them to save her baby. In fact, that was Jack Fuller’s first version of the “truth”, when Scar tried to find her own family.But if they were involved in the car accident? She might be able to sue them! Given that IF Scar can prove it, within the deadline of prosecution.How long is it for a hit and run? Scar is not sure.“Tell me what happened then,” Scar demands, but she wouldn’t budge even though the Green Lady is getting suspicious as her eagle eyes dart over at their whispering.“Don’t push it!” Anna Fuller warns.The Green Lady stares at Scar with suspicious eyes, and so is everyone who’s been waiting for Sophia Green’s announcement. No time to hesitate, but can she trust Anna Fuller again? The woman who has been a liar, the best liar in
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 285 Hit And Run
Granny said that?Anna Fuller is obviously unaware of that, unlike Ava. But Ava, obviously, didn’t think Sebastian would mention that here. Scar shares Ava’s surprise actually--Does he know that he is treading on thin ice of Ava’s lie??But none is as surprised as the Green Lady—“Wait, didn’t you already got that promised wedding five years ago then? I went to your wedding!”Five years ago right after the legal files of his divorce with Scar was done, he married Ava with a grand wedding. The whole city celebrated their blessed day, forgetting about the former Mrs. Knight to the back of their mind to rot in prison.Scar purses her lips, having a hard time limiting her smile.So Ava not only painted herself as Sebastian’s woman in front of her, but actually in front of everyone? A loving mom taking her beloved daughter to visit a big power they wanted to suck up to at Christmas every year, happily painting a loving family picture with Scar out of it.What a perfect lie to blow up in A
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 284 The Iron Lady's Condition
The Green Lady turns around, pushing Anna Fuller’s arm away like a bulldog in the ring, and discreetly, Sebastian steps up with a bright grin, blocking Scar from her.“She refused to come today just because I invited you! I didn’t think she would actually do it but she did!” The Green Lady forgets about Scar already, “What a big deal could keep her from even talking to her so well-behaving grandson for years?!”Even Sebastian pauses for a second—Didn’t she do the same thing to her own daughter, too? She didn’t even come to Emma Vanderbilt’s funeral. Actually, no one in the family came, on her command apparently.Her words pause Scar’s anger for a second, too—For years? She thought Granny kicked Sebastian out as a show of attitude, partly to give him a chance to challenge himself without the Knight’s name paving his way. But she didn’t think Granny would actually not talk to him for years.Of all the people who ever cared for her, Scar feels guilty only to Granny.She has never seen

The event has nothing to do with Anna. Well, aside from the fact that she held it, as a way of sucking up to the Green lady.The Green Lady is here for the announcement of the return of the bastard – okay, to the public, the lost son – of Elijah Green. It wasn’t for Anna, and it certainly wasn’t for Scar. She went through all that trouble to keep Scar away from the Green family, and she is not failing now.The only loophole, the one thing she has been wondering about ever since she saw Scar is—How did Scar get the invitation?!To prevent her biggest nightmare from happening, Anna didn’t even invite the Dawsons. That daughter of them is one of Scar’s best friends. Adding to the list Adrian Dunn, who took Scar’s side for no reason out of nowhere. They have been giving the Fullers hell on the business tables. They will have to take a big part in the fall of Z-house, whose profit would have been more than double that of the Fuller family business in these past years.But Scar still got i
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 282 She Who Can't Be Named
Every year’s Christmas, Anna Fuller would take Ava for a “family” visit, where Jack Fuller wouldn’t go. Something about how her family didn’t approve of her marrying down to him. And Scar would be left with Jack Fuller, in the name of keeping it even between parents and children.If that was the real reason, then Anna wouldn’t have taken Gabrial with her, too.Scar thought it was because Ava didn’t like her. But now she knows the real reason behind it—From how Anna and Ava are sucking up to the Green Lady, of course they wouldn’t want Scar to have any chance to even meet someone this powerful. As Anna’s daughter no less.What if the Green Lady grows to like Scar, right? Then there would be someone who actually treats Scar well in the “family”. God forbids.As much as Scar tries to tell herself that the Green Lady hates her because of years of lies fed to her by the Fullers, she finds it getting harder and harder to stay rational about this old lady when she shows little good judgment
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 281 Secret of The Christmas
That’s the phrase Scar could never understand: morbid curiosity.Looking around, Scar shakes her head slowly, despise in her eyes when she sees the disdain in the eyes of the rubbernecker. What are they waiting for? For her to cry in embarrassment that an old lady treated her meanly when she didn’t even know her? For her to feel ashamed when this person who called her “sister” just pointed out publicly how to humiliate her, and pretended to be kind with awkward acting?She is not the one who should feel ashamed here.“Thanks for your invite, Mrs. Green,” Scar bows lightly, her tone calm and polite.The Green Lady finally lands her eyes on Scar, as if seeing her for the first time. She observes Scar for a few long seconds, and the frown on her face deepens visibly. Scar is a bit amazed at this point. What could Ava possibly have said that could get the Green Lady to hate her even more just seeing her?!“Hmph,”That, and an almost lazy nod. That’s all the response the Green Lady gives h
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 280 Good Sis
Scar’s head goes empty for a second.What the hell did he just say?!For this whole time she thought Jack Fuller had something to do with her mom’s death. The least, he witnessed it and didn’t help, watched Emma die and took her home. Scar has been looking into that car accident with Silco’s resources for a long time now. Not to mention, that resource was a considerable one.Nothing.She couldn’t find any evidence putting Jack Fuller near that car accident, and she thought it was time to erase all the traces. Plus, Jack Fuller must have tried to cover his track, too.But if what Sebastian is telling her is real…“How did you know?! Do you have evidence?!! How long have you known about it and did you hide it from me just so--?!” Scar blows up into a string of questions like a machine gun.Ding, ding, ding!A piercing clink of glass bursts out, pulling Scar to a sudden halt when her intuition felt all the eyes turning toward her even before she could realize why.Then she sees why—The
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 279 Old Habits Die Hard
“I never noticed how cute you are when you are angry.”At that moment, Scar really wanted to smash the head of the ridiculous man and just storm off. But the whole lobby has quieted down, and all eyes are on the people in the center. If she dared to make a move, she would be catching all the attention. Is that why he is so bold right now?!“If you no longer care about that little snake of yours--” Scar clenches her teeth, but she doesn’t get to finish, because Sebastian gives her a confident smirk as he cuts her off leisurely--“You haven’t even heard my offer yet.”Scar turns to storm off, but Sebastian sees through her first, and grabs her waist faster than she could. Though she fails to make a scene, and only catches a few glances from just the little circle around them, she’s now in his arms, solid.“You--!”She almost shouted out. Almost.She never liked make-up, unlike now. She learned how to do make-up in her personal hell. It was commanded by her medical team. They suggested t
