She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 092 A True Angel
Scarlett’s POV“Why? I can’t revenge a FRIEND against a bunch of heartless bloodsuckers?!” Adrian rolls his eyes like a capricious child, “The happiness of my love life is in your hand! I’m at your command, my master!”I laugh at his Assassin's Creed tone, and he smiles with me. It’s amazing to spend time with Adrian. He just has a bright energy to get laughs out of me, making me feel like no dark cloud in life matters, like light magic.“Actually, I do want to--”“Glad to see you up and alive so soon after the kidnapping,” A knock on the door raises right before the owner of the voice opens my door.My jaw is on the ground: “Granny?!”Of all the people, I didn’t expect to see HER here. How did she even know I was here? And most importantly, did the doctors tell her anything about the pregnancy?!I grab Adrian’s arm in panic, and instantly he understands my fear.“I’ll leave you two to some girls' talk then,” Adrian grabs his suit before bowing at Granny jokingly with my test results

Sebastian’s POVSitting in the doctor’s office, I’m waiting for Scar’s test result. I dare not go with Granny because I know Scar doesn’t want to see me. She just wants the divorce papers.I don’t have them.I don’t want to let her go. It’s freaking hard and I don’t know why.I thought I could. I thought I didn’t want to divorce her just because I was used to all that she had been doing for me. I thought I was just used to having her around. I thought I had come to accept that she would be my wife.But none of that could explain how I just wanted to dive off with her when her chair fell over the edge.When I caught Ava’s chair, I was joyful. I was happy that I saved her. But that’s not how I felt when I jumped over for Scarlett.When I saw Liam Ryan kick her chair, my mind went blank for a second. It was like my soul floated out of me, in fear of accepting what was happening. I flew over with only her chair in my eyes, and I couldn’t see a life beyond that day if I failed to catch her

Sebastian’s POV“Mr. Fuller?” The doctor comes in with a stack of files, and I stand up.“Uhh, no...The name is Knight, Sebastian Knight,” I frown, reaching out for Scar’s test result that the doctor went to get for me, “Scar...Scarlett Fuller is my wife.”She doesn’t even use my name anymore? I know she changed it on the official papers but...I never called her Mrs. Knight, like how she wanted.With a frown, the doctor looks at me suspiciously from above his glasses, hesitating.“I can prove it, I have got my my marriage certificate at home,” Which I don’t know where it is, I rub my hair in frustration. I don’t like being reminded how I lost her in every little detail, “I just want to know if she’s okay, that’s all.”“She...” The doctor’s frowning gets deeper.“You are not her husband anymore!” Just when the doctor opens his mouth, Adrian strides in with a cold tone, “Doctor, Miss Fuller doesn’t want her information to be shared, especially with her EX-husband.”The word “EX” stings

Sebastian’s POV“Scar, ” I take her arm gently and she instantly swings me off, “I--”She glares at me, waiting impatiently.Seeing her cold eyes hurts. Pain grabs my chest, but I’m hopeless and powerless in front of such pain. There is nothing I can do. I can barely recognize the girl who once had the brightest smile toward me.She knows I left Ava in the hospital to come here, and before when I did that for her, her whole face would light up, and her beautiful eyes would curve into crescents as she hung herself on my arms, smiling sneakily like a little fox.But now she doesn’t even look at me.“I...” I open my mouth, but all the words that I wanted to tell her, suddenly disappear, “I...” I can’t find anything to say.Scar rolls her eyes, and turns to leave.“I’ll give you what you want!” I blurt, knowing it’s the only thing I can say to stop her from leaving, “I will sign the divorce papers...if that's what you REALLY want.”Scar stops, turns around, looks at me before her eyes dar

Scarlett’s POVBumping into Sebastian was a surprise. I couldn’t imagine anything would be able to pull him away from Ava, especially when she is really hurt this time. He looked like he had something to say, but in the end, he seemed to have changed his mind to a meaningless question.I don’t know how to answer, and frankly speaking, I don’t think he was waiting for a legit answer.When did he lose me? The past months where he made Ava’s hospital his one and only home? The true love’s kiss he shared with his beloved princess? All the neglection over the years, the mocking and cold snorts? Or our wedding night he spent with Ava?Or maybe, he already lost me the second day he saved me, when he took the princess as the little dragon he saved.I guess I knew the marriage was dead way before this. It died in one of those long, lonely nights when I sat in our bed, imagining my husband being on another woman’s bed. I just thought maybe I could hang on for just a little bit, and he would com

Scarlett’s POV“North Dakota?” Adrian shoots over a surprised look, asking as we head to the parking lot, “That’s far from here. How did know your real parents are there?”The doctor was Adrian’s acquaintance, and at his promise, we left the doctor’s office feeling safe about my secret. I feel bad about hiding this from Sebastian, but before I’m sure I can protect my baby from them, I can’t risk letting any of my “family” know about the baby.Adrain is the third of the only three people that I can trust my secret with.I briefly explained to him about my situation and how Jack Fuller always managed to find me in my earlier attempts to run away from “home”.It started with the time when Sebastian found me in the woods. I just made my first “friend” at that time, and he promised he could help me run away if “you hate your home that much”. He led me into the woods and after a few turns he left me there alone. I didn’t know how to get out, and I didn’t know how to get back home either.La

Scarlett’s POVIs there a kinder soul in this world? I look at Adrian, envying Aurora secretly because she is being loved by such a good person.But I can’t. “I want to be your friend, Adrian Dunn,” I shake my head, feeling pity in my chest, “So I can’t be such a burden to you. You understand, don’t you?”Adrian looks at me plaintively. He understands, I know. Talking to him has been so easy.“You are insulting me by implying that it takes a lot of me to protect just one girl,” Adrian says half-jokingly, “I can’t protect you well if you leave, especially to a place that far away. But here I can promise that they can’t get another drop of blood of yours if you don’t want them to.”That’s really sweet and generous, but I can’t put such a weight on Adrian. I feel guilty enough taking so much of his help as it is. Out of a misunderstanding no less. It’s not right.“I can take care of myself now,” I say as Adrian holds out his arm to block the elevator door for me. He definitely did that o

Scarlett’s POVAdrian remained silent as we settled into the car and drove out of the parking lot.I wonder if I had told him too much.I guess when someone has their partiality for you, then it becomes irresistible to pour out all the grief to them. I start to understand Ava better.But he is not mine. He is Aurora’s, and I’m on my way to finding my real family who I can cry to without a burden.I never wanted to admit this, but I envy Ava, a lot. I envy how she could be loved by so many, and be so capricious without a worry, when even trying my best, I couldn’t get a caring look from the same family and friends she has.Would my parents love me just as much as the Fullers love her?If I was born with such an awful disease but by the side of my real parents, would they also go all the way to buy a slave home just to make sure I would be safe? I don’t want them to be this evil, but I want everything else the Fullers gave Ava.I want a family that would care whether I was happy or sad,

She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 218 His Little Princess
Driving for 20 minutes in the car, Scar’s eyes are still cold from the outburst earlier. She has loved that man, and hated that man. He is just to painful to keep in her heart. She wants him out of her life, but he just keep coming and stir things up! “So heartless about him, hmm?” Silco breaks the silence tauntingly, “Sure you won’t regret it? I know how much you loved him before.” “That’s none of your business!” Scar snorts coldly, her tone not at all like the sugar baby she shows others.
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 217 The Liar
“Scar!” Scar left when Sebastian was dragged down by the Fullers. By the time he catches up, she’s already by a pure black luxury car waiting right outside of the Fuller’s gate. Scar wasn’t going to wait for him until Sebastian hurried up a few steps and put his fingers between the half-closed door. If he has to be honest, he is surprised that Scar didn’t close the door on his fingers anyway. But Scar turns visibly impatient at his way of stopping her. “You just never settle for what’s yours at the time, do you?” Scar says coldly, standing behind the door when Sebastian feels like the door is the furthest distance in the world. A cold snort lands quietly in the car. Sebastian hears. On the back seat sits that masked man, Silco. That name upsets him. That man is using Scar, if he is not playing her also, he knows. He looked into that guy, and found nothing. Nothing! That’s not normal, and it's not at the level of resources he has. Maybe that man doesn’t exist on papers, meaning a
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 216 Evidence Of The Car Accident
The phone call changes Scar back to the vengeful fallen angle. For now. “I’ll go after Johnny Vanderbilt for what he did on his part, thanks but that’s none of your business…” Scar curves her lips, her devil like grin has no warmth, sending chills down the spine of her enemies, “I hope your family really have no trouble with your lousy explanation on cheating, Mrs. Fuller. But for now, I want my mom’s necklace.” Anna shakes her head slowly with mercy in her eyes, as if Scar is just a misbehaving child who doesn’t know better. “What happened to you, Scarlett?” Anna insists on calling Scar the name she gave her, ignoring Scar’s words, “Are you seeing anyone for these episodes? It’s not a light thing. If you need help—” “Not from you!” Scar spats with cold anger, “Stop with the hypocritical act of yours! You just don’t know when to stop even after your true color is exposed, do you? I was wondering where Ava got that from.” “How dare you talk to my mom like that!?” Ava shrills, blow
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 215 Panic Attack
For years Scar has been wondering where Ava got the lying and acting from without a hint. It was right under her nose. It was Anna Fuller, Ava’s mom who is so good at lying that Scar didn’t even notice anything wrong! Anna cost Scar’s mom, and Anna’s daughter took Scar’s baby! Like mother, like daughter! She won’t let them get away this time! She can’t unite with her mom and baby with peace before she gets justice from this pair of snakes! “You need to talk to your father, honey—” Anna Fuller reaches for Scar’s face like the perfect mom she paints herself to be. Sebastian pulls Scar back a step, blocking her with his body as he grunts warningly: “Anna, stop it.” She turned on the manipulating machine again. But Scar heard Anna already. Letting out a cold snort, Scar murmurs slowly: “My father…” The laughter is full of bitterness, anger, hatred and disappointment, everything but what should associated with that word. “Scar…” Sebastian tries to pull her close, but Scar remains wh

“Gabriel,” Scar suddenly turns to the big dumb bear, “There was a time when you bullied me at school and were caught by the teacher. When my teacher asked you to give her mom’s number, you said the wrong number before you quickly changed it. Except it wasn’t a ‘wrong’ number, was it? It was the number you were told to memorize when you were a kid before it was changed to her current one. Why did she use this phone number for twenty years without any trouble when you had to memorize two?” Gabriel opens his mouth like a big mole who digs through its ceiling to the ground by accident. “Mom…?” Gabriel stammers, looking at Anna like a lost boy. He doesn’t know how he could not fall into Scar’s trap. There is no way because it’s not a trap. It’s an endless dark hole in his mom’s past that as much as she’s trying, she’s failing to cover up. “That’s too stretched, don’t you think?” Ava struggles, “Just because of a name and a random mistake—” “Silco pulled the info of the owner who owned

“Oh my poor Scarlett…” Anna Fuller grips her chest with a hand as if her heart pains, her soulful eyes filled with tears glimmering, “You had a few rough years, I know…I wanted to look for you but…” But Jack didn’t let me? But Ava would be heartbroken? Anna said none of those words, but knowing her too well, Scar knew what the indication was. Scar tilts her head, as if seeing Anna for the very first time in her life. In some way, yes. That’s how Anna Fuller talks. Painting herself as the most pitiful person in the world even when you are the real victim, at the same time indicating that someone else is at fault, anyone but her. She might have never told Scar to hate Jack Fuller, but every time when she “comforts” Scar, she paints another layer of hatred over Scar. Like when Jack Fuller ignores Scar, instead of sitting both of them down and talk it out like a proper mom should, Anna would secretly go to Scar when no one else is around, and say things like, “It’s okay, baby, you st
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 213 Mistress of Johnny Vanderbilt
Looking at Gabriel’s steaming head, Scar giggles, waving her hand indifferently. “I came with big money behind me this time, and that’s why your fox of a father and snake of a sister are treating me with a basic manner. They know they can’t push me around but they are not stopping you from pissing me off because they want to see what I can do about your disrespect. Do you know what that means?” “Bullshit!” Gabriel grunts, but he can’t help but glance in his father and sister’s direction either. “I’ll tell you what I will do to you,” Scar stops spinning her phone, putting it in her purse as she stands up, her look bored and cruel, “That little precious company of yours that’s misleading you into thinking that you are not pure valueless trash? It’s going down in exactly three days. I know it doesn’t exactly hurt them,” She nods in Jack Fuller and Ava’s direction, “I mean, how could it when they never cared about you?” “You—” Gabriel wants to shout, but Scar cuts him off— “BUT, I’m
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 212 The Heartless Mom
Scar was already at the Fullers when Sebastian made it. The last time Sebastian was with her in Jack Fuller’s living room was five years ago now, yet he feels like it was only yesterday. It might have something to do with the fact that he barely lived a day since. Just surviving. Sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed elegantly, Scar swings her foot lightly with an indifferent look. She is in a business set: white, tight blouse and straight short skirt. A pair of high heels, of course indicating one thing: She’s here for serious business. Just not the kind Jack Fuller looks forward to. That much is obvious because the owner of the living room sits right across Scar with every line of the muscle on his face stretched tight, as if facing a cannibal monster. He is scared, and he ought to be. Though Scar wouldn’t claim it, she’s still a Vanderbilt. Damian has all but thrown everything the Fuller had into fire in the past five years. Ava and her dad did little to improve Z-House’s
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 211 Shadow Of The Past
“Please, can you come over?” It’s Ava again. Sebastian listens to her sobbing calmly, his face so cold that his new secretary subconsciously holds her breath as she pauses her morning brief for the call from who she was told to be the boss’s wife. Didn’t he give his wife a million-dollar wedding? As a gossip, Emma is sure that she saw the wedding of her new boss on the front page somewhere. Even after years, she still remembers the bright smile of the bride in the newspaper. That’s why she was so excited when she got the offer— A genuine billionaire who spoils his wife to such? He must be a gentleman in person. He is. He is professional in work, but also kind to the staff. He is the definition of a gentleman… Except to his wife. Emma glances at Sebastian again, her heart bumping fast both for excitement AND nervousness. Sure, she has a crush on him. But who doesn’t? Money. Look. HOT body. He has got it all. But when he talks to his wife, he has this dark aura around him as if h
