She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 083 Sebastian’s Warning
Scarlett’s POVSeeing the “poor love birds” trying their best to protect each other against me, the evil dragon, makes me want to laugh at my old self for being ridiculously stupid.She stole my identity to friend MY hero, acting her whole life as someone else to stay his friend, using him to harm me in every way she could, all the way to the point she wanted me dead. 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. I glare at the vicious snake under the lamb’s clothes, having a hard time comprehending how one can be spoiled into so evil a soul, “Let’s say that I made a deal with him to get him into our marriage, did you not gain from that deal? 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? When you two went shopping all over the world, hand in hand, showing off how much
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 084 Sweet Revenge
Scarlett’s POVSebastian turns around to glance at me, and right when I’m about to make the offer, he says to Jack Fuller: “She shouldn’t have used violence, for that I apologize, on my wife’s behalf.”Huh. That’s a first.“You don’t have the right to apologize on my behalf,” I hide myself well behind Adrian, challenging Jack Fuller, “Your daughter deserved that slap and more, for luring me to be kidnapped. You two need to apologize to ME, or I WILL sue.”“Did you see? See what you are protecting?!” Jack Fuller points a shaking finger at me.Sebastian sighs at me, nailing his eyes on Adrian’s arm which I hug as if that could stop me from clinging onto it.For Sebastian to take my side against people who treat me wrongly was something beyond my wildest dream before. I try to find the sweetness or pleasure I should feel in it, but I fail. I have given too much for it, and I have wanted it for too long. It doesn’t taste as sweet now when I stopped wanting it.“Sebastian?! How could you t
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 085 Liam Ryan’s Curse
Scarlett’s POVThat I did not know.Of all people, I thought Ava was the one who wanted me by her side the most. She fears death, and I’m her safety rope. I thought at most, she offered my name to Liam Ryan in exchange for her own life.I don’t like the dark tone Liam Ryan used.“Get him in the car!” In a police uniform, a bulky guy with a round face frowns at the officer who has Liam Ryan under his hand. They were transporting him, and Liam Ryan was fighting to stay for what he had to say.“Jeremy, let him talk,” Adrian calls the bulky guy, his voice colder than ever, “We might use it in court.”“His words right now are not admissible,” Sebastian glares at Adrian, adding to Liam Ryan, “Do you have evidence to support your claim?”But Liam Ryan ignores them both.To all our surprises, his eagle eyes nail on Jack Fuller: “You are the father of both the girls? I don’t believe that. No father would treat their little girl as how you treated the redhead.”Everyone darts their eyes at me.
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 086 The Baby’s Job
Scarlett’s POV“Sparrow made me promise to not hurt you,” Liam Ryan finally turns to look at Justin, “I wanted to die in front of you and brand your life with my blood stain, but I guess I don’t have to, do I? You can turn around so quickly means your paradise is not exactly as happy as you said it would be, no?“What did you expect, when you chose a serpent over an angel?”Justin cries so hard, melting to the ground over and over again.Liam Ryan never said another word to him after that ask. He pulled up his window, not even looking at Justin. But Justin wouldn’t leave, hanging onto the police car where Liam Ryan sits as if that would go back in time.I don’t know how much Justin loved “his angel”, so I can’t even begin to imagine how horrifying it is to find out about such a mix-up only after her death.Would Sebastian shed a tear for me, if he ever finds out?It’s better for all of us if he never does.In the end, Sebastian went with Ava in her ambulance. Glad I didn’t have to cha
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 087 His Confession
Scarlett’s POVI don’t know how long I slept, but I felt much better when the bright twilight woke me up.The ward is empty. No doctor, no nurse...No Adrian.I guess the baby did his job alright.Warning myself that it’s stupid to weep over something I never had, I slip down the hard, tiny bed and walk toward the window. The breeze at the end of the fall is no longer warm. It’s chill.I wanted the baby thing to get me out of the awkward talk, so why am I feeling so low?Anyone in the right mind getting to know that the girl they met a week ago is pregnant, won’t stay around in the hope of any romantic whatsoever. He did the right thing. Actually, I wanted him to make this choice.I don’t know how to love again.Maybe one day I can heal, but I’m broken right now, I know.I’m no longer the brave girl who could put love as the center of her world, who could laugh at his happiness and cry at this sorrow. I gave all that to Sebastian, and it’s not fair to Adrian if I were to try things wit
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 088 The Limping Wolf
Scarlett’s POVWhat did I ever do to deserve this? I know it’s wrong to accept it, but it doesn’t make any of the joy of this moment untrue.“As much as I believe you,” I try to choose my words more wisely than last time, “We only met a week ago, Mr. Dunn, I don’t think--”“I understand your concern, and that’s why I wanted to take it slowly,” Adrian cuts me off with a kiss on the tips of my fingers, “but I don’t want to do that anymore. You let me in on the pregnancy to warn me off, no? You don’t have to. I will love your child as my own, and I will take better care of you than anyone ever will.”No woman can resist such a confession from the hero who just pulled them up from a fall to their death.I’m merely a human!I trust his words. I’m just surprised because I never painted him as the “love-for-life” type. According to Aurora, he is nothing but a playboy, a womanizer that she wants to tear apart at sight.Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Adrian starts slowly: “I have been i
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 089 I’m Evil
Scarlett’s POV“Even though I carry another’s baby in my womb?” I ask.“They will know me and only me as their father,” He answers.“Even if I’m a workaholic who is sloppy at home and everything else?” I ask, remembering the messy living room I shared with Aurora.Adrian lets out a light chuckle. It was light just to not ruin the moment, I think.“I would appreciate the chance to take care of you, yes,” Somehow he keeps his tone solemn still, “I admire you, my shooting star.”Okay, fine! I have no more tests and he passed all of them with a perfect score.“Okay, last question,” I nod, “...Even if I’m best friends with Aurora?”My question takes Adrian by surprise. He blinks in confusion, not seeing a clear question in there.“I’m not sure what you mean...?” Adrain frowns lightly at the confusion, “I...I’m not against whoever you choose to keep in your life...Sebastian aside!”This time it’s my turn to burst into laughter.“But you two always fight at the sight of each other!” I pull h
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 090 Ava’s Secret
Scarlett’s POVTurns out, Adrian never noticed me until that racing night, and it was because of that night that he went back to dig into me, only to find that I was the little wolf that he liked from years ago. But before he could do anything more, I married Sebastian and he decided to seal his first love that never bloomed.“Seriously, awful detective work,” I laugh at him, eating snacks he brought me to the hospital bed.Adrian rolls his eyes with a sigh, his ears turning pink again: “You promised to take that to your grave for the sake of all the snacks you ordered me to get!”“No! The snacks are for me keeping your proposal as a secret from Aurora!” I throw myself over the snacks when he starts pulling them away, “I have got pictures of the flowers! You keep bullying me, I will not be afraid to use them!”“You said you deleted them!” He protests.“But it was super romantic!” I hug the snacks and won't let go, “What if I need to show Aurora how romantic you are, huh?!”We stare at
