She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 069 Sebastian’s Love
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 070 More To The Story
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
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 073 Judgement Day
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
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 074 Platonic Love
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
She 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
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 076 Condemned To Death
Scarlett’s POVI close my eyes in desperation.I really should have told him that I have his baby in me. He might still choose to sacrifice me, but he wouldn’t do it this decisively without even a pause.For a moment I really want to lash out like Liam Ryan did. I want to struggle and shout and curse and say to hell with everyone and drag everything to hell with me. In that moment I feel Liam Ryan. He didn’t even care about a 90 billion worth company. All he wanted was a solace of justice. He wanted only fair treatment.What did I do wrong in all this? Should I have not loved the kind boy who saved me all these years? Should I have left the city when Mom “needed” me? Should I have told him the truth five years ago?What did I do wrong?!I sort of put together Sparrow’s story in Liam Ryan’s rumble here and there. Basically, Justin mistook Annie for Sparrow, and just like how I found out about the truth when Justin proposed to his Ava, Sparrow stood up and told the truth.Except no one
