She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 095 When Did I lose you?
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
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 096 Deadly Trap
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
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 097 His City
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
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 098 Room To Breath
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
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 099 Personal Hell
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 100 Ava's M.O.
Scarlett’s POV“I will make him pay!”Jack Fuller’s roar came out as my welcome right when I left the elevator. I didn’t even need to ask for directions for Ward 713.“He is already arrested, Daddy!” Ava giggles as the angel she is, “I totally called it when that girl jumped off that building! I guess apples don't fall far from the tree.”A moment of silence.“Anna, the reports should be out by now,” Jack Fuller suddenly says out of nowhere, and in panic, I slid into the room next to it. I wasn’t exactly eavesdropping, but now I’m guilty as hell.She passes my door soon after, and I close the door and put my ears against the wall shared with ward 713. Jack Fuller sent her out on purpose. What could he have to talk to Ava about that his own wife couldn’t hear?“Clean your social media about that girl,” Jack Fuller keeps his voice so low that I can barely hear him through the wall. At his strange command, I pull out my phone and search for Ava’s Faceb00k. Keeping my ear up, I start scro
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 101 Ava’s Fear
Scarlett’s POVI don’t think she is going to like what Ava has to say.I was surprised that Jack Fuller seemed to know Ava’s true color, but not for long. He has always been a calculating fox and I doubt he’d let anyone fool him, not even his own daughter.But I don’t think Mom knows about it at all. If she thinks Ava is her angelic tame daughter, then she really believes that. She is a devout believer. And as horrible as Jack Fuller might be, there is one thing I can’t deny of him -- he loves his wife.I guess I shouldn’t feel bad for Mom. I should envy her. She might know all the truth, but she is happy, living in the little illusional bubble where everything is kind, good, and alright. She doesn’t have to feel bad for keeping a little girl at home just to be her daughter’s blood vessel because her husband told her the little girl is an orphan who needed help; she doesn’t have to know that her own daughter broke the ugly truth to the orphan that she was adopted, because Jack Fuller
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 102 My Kind Of Fun
Scarlett's POVOhh, now that makes sense. No wonder why Ava would reach out to me, at the price of painting a peaceful illusion in front of Mom between us no less. She panicked because she thought Sebastian had a glimpse of her true color.Wait, no, that doesn’t make sense at all.That wasn’t like him at all. Shouldn’t he be beating the shit out of Liam Ryan for smearing the name of his pure angel?Finally, after all these years, Ava stepped on a line that even his blind love couldn’t make him look the other way?Now this is my kind of fun, to see that Ava actually understands what fear is.“I seem to remember that you said it wouldn’t matter even if I told him the truth, and he will still love you no matter what,” I tilt my head at Ava, “That night when you showed off to me about how he proposed to you, remember? In fact, you dared me to tell him--”“You bitch!” Ava snaps at me, but she keeps her face straight. I glance at Mom, and she moves her vicious death stare away from me.“I’l
