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
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 109 Burning Pain
Scarlett's POVWhy did he even help earlier?I stare at him, shocked. I thought he was better than Jack Fuller. I thought though he cared about Ava, he was decent, unlike Jack Fuller.“I’m not staying,” I suppress my anger as it burns away my reason bit by bit, “I don’t fucking care about those files. Just remember, bigamy is a crime.”How much of an influence does he think my feelings toward him still have on me? I don’t want to do anything to them because I don’t want to waste my time on them, not because they can still walk all over me.“I’m not planning on marrying Ava,” Sebastian raises the file, “I just want another chance. You wanted a chance from me, and that’s all I want now--”“I gave everything for that chance!” I snap angrily. He does know how to get me, “Let’s say that you are not asking me to stay for Ava, your way of asking is to threaten me?! What do I have to lose if in this? You want to be bound to me? Be my guest!”Just one person in front of me and Adrian before we
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 110 Ava’s Pay Day
Scarlett's POVI look up in surprise, and I see Ava crying. Sobbing like a deeply wronged, perfect doll, she wipes her face but tears pour out so fast that drops keep splashing near my feet.Nothing good even happens when she cries.“Your mom begged Daddy to take you home...” Ava cries so hard that she has to gasp for air, and that breaks her words, “You want to leave so much, then leave, but Daddy saved you when your mom was turning cold because of the drugs she used! Daddy would have saved her if he--!”“As if I’d believe any of your vicious lies!” I snort at her lousy try, trying to stand up on my twisted ankle, “Junkie? Seriously??? You told me yourself that I was dumped at the orphanage, need I remind you!”Ava is never timid except when she lies. She knows playing the victim gets her what she wants, especially from Sebastian.I’d be stupid if I believed her.“That was anger talk!” Ava keeps up her poor little thing act, “I told you Daddy took you back from that trip to North Dak
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 111 Come And Beg Me
Scarlett’s POV“Scar, I’m sorry--” Sebastian comes up, trying to hug me.“I don’t fucking care for your apology,” I cut him off, cutting pieces off him with my eyes, “She is a lying bitch, and she is paying for it, TODAY!”“Scar,” Adrian comes between me and Sebastian in a protective posture, whispering to me, “You are hurt. I'll deal with Ava Fuller later, but now--”“It’s okay,” I push him away gently, “it will only take a minute.”He looks worried, but he purses his lips and just stays by my side as a silent guard.“Did you sign them?” I point at the folder in Sebastian’s hand, “Give me.”He flinches with a reluctant look.My whole world turns red at his move. I swear to God! I take a deep breath to hold in the firing bursting out of me: “I’m fucking staying, so give me the fucking folder!”“Scar, you are in shock--” Sebastian stops his words when I glare at him right in his eyes. I don’t know if my eyes are bleeding, but the whole world looks red.“You used the file to stop me, Se
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 112 The Voice Of Angel
Scarlett’s POV“He won’t...” Ava grips the torn pieces in her fists, mumbling to me. I don’t know about others, but I certainly see viciousness in her eyes.“What’s that?” I raise my voice as I pull out my phone, shooting a featured video for the drama queen, “Please, you are not saying you are into the husband of your sister, are you?”“Stop that!” Seeing me shooting, Ava covers her face like a vampire exposed under the sun. The camera wakes up her acting spirit, and she snaps out of it.Jack Fuller walks up and pulls her off the ground, a little rougher than necessary.“Mad at her now?” I turn my camera at Jack Fuller, “You weren’t exactly upset when she came to me with the cruel truth about my family. You only see how shameful she is to your family name now?”Jack Fuller shoots me a glare, reaching for my phone. I dodge backward quickly, and Adrian comes up fast, standing in front of me. His hands casually put in his pants, looking harmless.Jack Fuller halts his steps cautiously.
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 113 Plan For Revenge
Scarlett’s POVAdrian didn’t leave. Instead, he guarded in front of the restroom and called Aurora.When I unhooked my door and pushed it open a slit, Aurora quickly found me. She came and buried my tear-ruined face in her chest, and hugged me tight until they could get me out of that restroom.They took me to the hospital for another check-up, and got me back to Aurora’s place after they made sure me and the baby were both okay.I have been numb the whole process, letting them operate me like a lifeless doll.It had been only a few days since the last time I was in her messy living room, and I felt like several lives had passed since that night. Lilith was waiting for us, and I burst into tears when they put me on the sofa, and wrapped me in a furry blanket with a mug of hot cocoa stuffed in my hands.I felt at home. I finally felt safe.I don’t know how long I had cried, but when I finally calmed down, I found them both still sitting by my side, their eyes red, too. Have they been c
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 114 Overdose
Scarlett’s POVWell, I don’t have one.I talked big, but I didn’t really have a “revenge plan” in my mind. Doing people harm is a huge project, and just thinking about it exhausts me.“Whatever you want to do, we are here for you,” Aurora says this, only to dart a weird glance at Adrian --She could only speak for herself and Lilith on that one, but it’s also awkward to specially exclude him from it.“Yeah!” Adrian pretends he doesn’t understand Aurora’s awkward glance, nodding firmly with a genuine tone, “We are ALL here for you.”Aurora darts her eyes away, pressing her lips downward as they try to curve up as if having their own minds.“You are staying with me though, right?” Aurora averts the topic she started, again, “I’m trying to get Lilith to come and live here, too. Her law firm is twenty minutes walk from her, and we can have pillow fights----”Just within a minute, Aurora glances at Adrian in pure awkwardness twice with a look like she wants to bite off her own tongue. She
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 115 Back To The Lair
Scarlett’s POVWhat does that mean?I stare at Adrian as a million possibilities run around my head. How did he know? Did he know something? Is he talking about the junkie thing, or my dad, or both... I dare not go for the one direction that I’m afraid to go--Could it mean...that my mom can still be alive?“It can wait,” Aurora rubs my shoulder as I apparently freeze.“I’m okay,” I mumble, but I AM a bit out of it. I don’t feel like bursting out in tears when I hear about it again, but I don’t know if I could take it to have my hopes up only to be crushed again.Adrian sighs, giving me a resigned look: “This would be how you feel ALL THE TIME, if you look into this yourself. Every piece of new information, confirmed or not, will be an emotional rollercoaster. And quite frankly, I don’t think you can handle it--”“Adrian Dunn!” Aurora bursts out in anger, “How could you--?!”“Aurora,” I follow her up to stop her, “It’s okay. I’m okay, and he is actually right. If I can’t take such a n
