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
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 103 Grew Up With Love
Scarlett’s POV“Are you sure you are okay? You can cry if you want to,” Adrian asked for the third time I got back into his car. I told him he didn’t have to wait for me, but he was still where he parked when I came out, just as surprised as I was when he saw me.I’m not that sad. Not like when I found out about the truth of my “family”, about how each one of them betraded me and wanted to cut things off me. They bought my life for their beloved daughter, what’s so wrong in that?I’m actually happy now that their daughter is finally cured. They don’t need me anymore.“Ava is perfectly okay now. Her status is stable,” I tell Adrian, feeling a long-lost lightness, “Maybe they won’t even chase after me if I were to tell them that I’m leaving.”“She’s cured only by exploiting you!” Adrian rolls his eyes, complaining resentfully.“I mean, to think about it, they paid for my life and my education, I would have dealt with them if they straight up told me that the condition would be providing
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 104 It’s A Date
Scarlett’s POVI stare at him, my body freezes because my brain is processing too many questions to give any order.Did Jack Fuller send him? Why does he still want me to stay?? How did he even know I was here??? I didn’t tell anyone, and it was as abrupt and out of expectation as it can be! Ava? Gabriel? Sebastian? None of them knows! Not even Aurora and Lilith!“Scar, breathe!” Adrian shakes me, and I turn to him slowly, tears blurring my sight, “This is Mateo, my secretary. I’m sorry I scared you, but you need to breathe. Scar!”I gasp, supporting myself against his car, blinking as my stunned brain slowly gets around it. Water flows down my face.“I thought--” I say, only to bite my lips. My voice is twisted. One more word and I will burst into a loud cry.“I know, I know...” Adrian hugs me, petting me on the back gently, “You are okay, you are safe...I’m really sorry, but they are not here to catch you...”I can’t believe how stupid I was, and now I can’t look up from Adrian’s ar
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 105 Jack Fuller’s Compromise
Scarlett’s POVHis men haste up their steps and surround us, all in straight faces with their eyes hiding behind cold sunglasses. “...Adrian...?” My voice is shaking.“Take the tickets,” Adrian puts them in my hand, standing in front of me, “You will be okay. Nobody can touch you today, so long as I’m here.”“Mr. Dunn,” Jack Fuller nods at Adrian with a smile, “Fancy seeing you here.”“I guess I can say the same to you,” Adrian blocks me with his body, “Where are you traveling to, Mr. Fuller, if I may ask?”Jack Fuller curves his lips scornfully, but then he answers tamely: “North Dakota.”My stomach drops. He is here for me, and he knows what I’m up to. I knew he was crafty with a black heart, and I just watched how he tamed Ava. But still. Never have I been more frightened by this man I once called Dad than at this moment.I feel like I could never get out of his grasp.“Scarlett, come home with me,” Jack Fuller took a side step, looking at me right in my eyes, “This is for your own
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 106 Scarlett’s Debt
Scarlett’s POVHe doesn’t want me to find my real family. Of course not. He wants me to be bound to his city, to Ava, for life! And whether I’m happy or suffering in the process, he does not care.Look at Jack Fuller’s cold face, I can’t begin to understand why he hates me so much. I’d understand it if Ava needs me. What he did wasn’t decent, but at least he did out of love for his daughter.Why stop me now?My blood type is rare, but it’s not like I’m the only one. Every state has its own RH- blood bank established, and ours is one of the best. So long as Ava’s demand is within the ordinary range, it won’t be a problem for a rich family like the Fullers.So why keep me here?“I don’t need a plan because I’m not in a hurry to find my real parents,” I break the awkward silence after Adrian’s question, “Sebastian is marrying Ava, so I don’t want to be in the same city and bless my sister with my ex-husband. Is that reasonable?”Jack Fuller narrows his eyes: “You would be willing to divo
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 107 Letting Go
Sebastian’s POVI got into a fight with Adrian.I saw Scar with Adrian in the parking lot talking, happily. I could have gone and given her the files. It has been in my car where I basically live these days. I didn’t. I wasn’t in a hurry to cut the only connection between me and Scar.I followed their car, not sure what I wanted out of it. Another talk after Adrian sends her home? What could another conversation do? Everything I do right now only pushes her further away. But I followed them like a lost kid.Adrian the jerk soon spotted me and lost me in the traffic. He was a racer, the one thing I could never win him with.When I caught up with him, Scar already went to see Ava. I admit, I was upset. Ava wasn’t in any urgent need, and he shouldn’t have let her go. Jack Fuller doesn’t care whether Ava needs it. He would drain Scar no matter what.His daughter’s illness planted a hunger for Scar’s blood deeply in him.I demanded why he let Scar do that and he punched me, shouting someth
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 108 The Sound Of A Heart Breaking
Sebastian’s POV“...what do you mean...?” Scar’s voice shakes with fear when I get close. She shoots me an indifferent glance like she doesn’t see me at all. Her eyes are red in tears, and her fists shaking.What could Jack Fuller possibly say to her? She wasn’t this upset even when she gave me those files.“You have always thought I faked your adoption file,” Jack Fuller says with a heavy sigh, “You were right. I didn’t adopt you from the orphanage. I found you in North Dakota, in your mother’s cold arms.”“You are lying!” Scar hisses at Jack Fuller like a hurt little kitten. Her ears would fly backward if she had any. She shakes her head and tears fall down but she doesn’t even feel that. She turns to grab Adrian’s shirt with a wronged look, and I glare over at Adrian.“Take her out of here,” I tell Adrian before I turn to Jack Fuller, “You don’t have to do it here, not like this.”I don’t know about Scar’s past, but Jack’s opening doesn’t sound like a nice story.Adrian complies, h
