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
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 077 Sebastian’s Choice
Sebastian’s POVHe’s got me.How am I supposed to make such a choice?!It doesn’t matter who I name because he just wants to drag me into the hell he is living in -- whose sky and soil are made of guilt and regret of a loved one gone forever. Whichever of them I choose, I leave here today with the blood of one of them on my hands.And I can’t let either of them die, not on my watch.Jim is preparing the air cushion downstairs as we speak. His men surround us in the dark corners, and they can take Liam Ryan down any second. But not when he has his hands on their chairs. It’s too dangerous. One wrong move and it’s three lives over the edge.I came here, ready to give everything, but I didn’t think he was so far beyond reach that only human lives seemed to be able to feed the wrath in his chest.What do I do?“Name your choice, Sebastian Knight,” Liam Ryan curves his lips into a devil smirk, pressing the back of the chairs, leaving them sitting on only the two hind legs.Scar lets out a
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 078 My Hero
Scarlett’s POVEverything happened too fast.I only closed my eyes for a second at Sebastian’s choice, and the next second he was on the floor, holding on to Ava’s chair with her dangling in the air. I didn’t see what knocked Liam Ryan over. I just know the moment he turns to Sebastian, he suddenly stumbles to the side, and the next thing I feel is a hard kick on my chair.This is it.The horrifying fear of the loss of gravity kicks in, and I can’t help bursting into shouting to let the burning fear out of my chest.In that split second, I don’t even feel hatred. He loves her, and he chose her. I couldn’t expect more than that. At that moment all I feel is an overwhealming of sorrow, the sorrow of knowing that he would find out about his baby dying with me when I hit the ground.Would he be sad over that innocent little one? Or would he not be moved at all?Either way, it’s sad, and that sadness overtook any emotion I could have, and I cried, under the claw of fear.But I only fell fo
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 079 Dear Father
Scarlett’s POVWarmth calms.I never understood why in movies the victims are all given an orange blanket even if they aren’t wet. Now I know. At the moment of shock, a blanket can work magic, and calm your jittery nerves.But after calmness, embarrassment hits.I hug myself, sitting in the back of the ambulance, feeling my ears burn.What did I just do?!I cried and snuggled in the arms of a basically stranger! Who is going to be my boss that I would meet on a daily basis?Can I quit now...?“Here,”A warm cup touches my cheek lightly, and I look up startled, only to see Adrian’s chuckle. In his hand a small cup of hot milk.How did he even get milk here?Mumbling thanks, I take the milk from him and lower my eyes, having no courage to look at him. But I didn’t miss the slight tremble of his arms.“Sorry about that,” I land my eyes on his shivering hand, “I should have walked down on my own.”Adrian raises his own hand, staring at it for a second before he sighs with a self-mocking l
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 080 A Man In Love
Scarlett’s POVI can’t.Even if I had to give the ambulance to Ava, I wouldn’t go with her.I can’t let them know about the baby, not after this. Not when he would choose Ava’s life over mine. Not when I’m still under the paw of Jack Fuller. God knows what horrible plan he would have for my baby -- who would be highly likely to share my rare blood type.They can never know the baby’s existence.“I have called the ambulance already, Jack,” Sebastian turns to Jack Fuller, “And Ava’s wound has stopped bleeding. She is not in danger.”“So?! Ava’s injured! She has to go to the hospital anyway!” Jack Fuller grunts in frustration, “Am I asking too much from her now, just to fucking share an ambulance?! It’s the least to do for anyone who has any decency!”Somehow I come off as the bad guys. Always. In their eyes.“I think the basic decency is to at least say ‘please’ when you are asking for a favor,” I stand up coldly, looking Jack Fuller right in the eyes, “instead of acting as if the whole
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 081 A Gamble On Life
Scarlett’s POVI wouldn’t even know that he didn’t sign the papers if the policeman hadn’t found the folder in Liam Ryan’s belongings and checked the content.Sebastian raises his hand, and I hand it over, only to notice that both our hands are shaking visibly.“Are you alright?” Sebastian takes my arm instead of the folder, his other hand holding my shoulder, “You are freezing! Did you take the hot cocoa--?”His eyes land on the milk beside me. I only had a few sips.“I haven’t had anything for more than a day, what did you expect?” I push him away, sitting down at the back of the ambulance, seeing black spots in front of my eyes as I try to adjust to my dizzy head. I was too shocked by the near-death experience and the medical staff suggested a short rest first.Talking to Sebastian is not a rest. It boils my blood at the price of my little remained energy.“I know you are not feeling well right now, and I know you are mad at me,” After a hesitation, Sebastian says in a low voice, “
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 082 Miss Serpent
Scarlett’s POVJust great. I guess I have to meet with everyone I hate before I can get some peace.Panting in a cold sweat, my sight is gradually coming back. But seeing Ava clearly with her hanging on Sebastian’s arm, I’d rather I had just blacked out.“What are you doing here? Go back to your stretcher,” Sebastian frowns at Ava, worrisome pouring out of his eyes.“I was worried about you...” Ava puts on a wronged, innocent tone, murmuring, “I heard shouting...are you okay?”Now that her arms stopped bleeding, the queen of acting is back, too. I have never seen Ava lose her cool in front of Sebastian like that when the knife cut her, but what impresses me the most is how she can put her act back on as if that didn’t happen.Nothing matters to her more than her fragile life, yet Sebastian would take her words when she shouted she never wanted my blood.I guess she can do so because it can trick Sebastian.You can’t wake up someone who fakes to be asleep.“Can you two go and play your

He let her.And I’m the bad guy in this story?“Which part exactly, did he mean well?” I’m so mad I have to squeeze words out of my clenched teeth.

He got to protect you, the apple of his eye, and you get to fucking live! And has never honored his end of the deal, not even for a day! Did he mean well with that?
