Scarlett's POV

I 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

    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

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.

    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

    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.

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.

Performing my debut in front of the queen of acting, I need the right armor.I stayed at Aurora’s for a couple of days to recover -- Welllll, for fun, okay?! I’m back on the movie now that I’m staying in the city. The shootings start in two weeks, so I enjoyed my limited freedom alone in the apartment, doing final edits of the script, and relaxing.We managed to persuade Lilith. She is sharing the apartment with Aurora now, and they are both workaholics. They deserve each other.On Lilith’s second day of work -- the day when they’d both started to get up really early and come back super late, I dragged my little suitcase to my own battlefield.This time, I came FOR blood.Henry the doorman let me in with a smile, suspecting nothing. This is the silver lining of having hypocrites as enemies -- they keep the fights inside, and it can be convenient for both parties.Ava is the first one to spot me.Well, I sto

    Scarlett’s POV“What’s this farce?” Jack Fuller grunts sullenly, his eagle eyes nailing on the cameraman sullenly, “This is the Fuller’s Villa, and he--”“...and he is MY cameraman. Dunn Entertainment assigned him to me, you know? For my first movie,” I smile at him, and successfully light up fire in his eyes with that, “Aren’t you proud of me?”Aurora was right. Acting with real emotions makes acting so much easier. I AM happy to see Jack Fuller irritated, which makes me smile wider, and hence, him angrier.Perfect!Anna Fuller shoots a worried look at her husband, and pausing for a second, Jack Fuller turns on his fox mode--“Of course I am,” He opens his arms as he walks over, “I’m proud that you rejected my help only because you wanted to prove yourself. That’s my girl.”Watching him walk closer, I’m so grossed out that goosebumps stand. I can’t stand a hug from him. I’d throw up.I think Jack Fuller knows that, and that’s exactly why he is doing this.He is so many levels above A

She looks at her parents beggingly, but she is not saying anything. She can’t deny my lie, because I can make it true.“Scar...” Anna Fuller changes into a softer tone, saying hesitantly, “You know Ava has been living in that room for years, I don’t know if--”“I mean,” I take my suitcase from Ava’s hand, lowering my eyes so I wouldn’t burst into laughter at my “sorrowful” tone, “I can leave, if that’s what you want.”“To where?!” Ava snaps with a shrill.“Ava Fuller!” Jack Fuller warns, and both Anny and Ava purses their lips, “If Ava cares so much about you, then I have no problem with it.” Said that, Jack Fuller turns and leaves the farce.Anna Fuller lands her sad but merciful look on me. The look that tells me to take a step back in fights with Ava. The look that I have been submitting to my whole life.“Ava,

    “Sebastian, please. You know today is important to mom,” In the end, Ava softens her voice, putting on her innocent victim act. After all, that’s the role she has been practicing her full life, “Mom sees Mrs. Green as her own granny, and they haven’t seen each other in decades. I just want to make sure that the night will go smoothly, that’s all.”Sebastian cocks his eyebrows, genuinely shocked. A bit apprehensive, he dares not to look at Scar, only to realize Scar might not even know--Scar has no clue that her mom has anything to do with THE Green family in the country. Not to mention the fact that Anna Fuller knew Emma way before their marriage drama with Johnny Vanderbilt. Green is too common a name, and Scar only picked it because the only one who ever showed her love was the mom who died for her.“I don’t think being rude to Mrs. Green’s invited guest would do that,” Sebastian grabs Scar’s wrist, showing the invitation held in her hand to Ava as if it’s just an innocent move.

    For the preparation of the script, Sebastian offered Scar an office at his company – a special perk that none of his movies had shared before. After all, there is no such need for his directors OR his writers to have an office at the headquarters.Of course, it’s just his way of trying to get close to Scar.And of course, Scar didn’t take up on his offer.She wanted Sebastian’s company to deliver her movie because Ava would hate that. Nothing else. Rejected, Sebastian allowed the month Scar wanted for the script, and told her there would be a shooting team ready for her.The next time Scar met Sebastian, it had already been a week after the incident with Ava, who didn’t make any move during. For a moment there, Sebastian expected a divorce paper from Ava, but she didn’t do it.The condition for Ava to donate blood for Scar was that Sebastian would marry Ava, give her Z-house, and… he can’t divorce her.Unlike Scar, Sebastian was sentenced to life that night.“What is SHE doing here?”

    “What are you doing here?!”An angry shout bursts out when Scar is just finishing putting her signature down on the contract.Ava barges into the office.Sebastian wasted no time to fulfill his promise as if worried that she would back out of the deal she brought to him. Worried about Ava? Even after all the shitty things Ava pulled, he still takes care of her. Protecting Ava is a habit carved deep into his bones.His secretary drafted the movie contract with shocking speed. Scar would have had her lawyer go through it, but she didn’t. Even if there were loopholes in the contract, she wouldn’t care.Her target was never the profit. It was Ava.Watching Ava storming in, Scar just sits there with a taunting smile. This is such a familiar scene that Scar almost can’t stop herself from laughing -- there was a time when she was the angry wife storming into his office when he was spending time with Ava.“Fancy seeing you here, Mrs. Knight,” Scar taunts with her head tilted. Ava pauses a sec

    “How long have you been standing there?!”Sebastian didn’t realize he had been standing there staring until Scar suddenly looked up only to gasp startled.“Sorry! I knocked but you didn’t hear me,” Sebastian blurt, raising both his hands, “I didn’t want to disturb.”His polite and gentle tone raises guilt in Scar. She was the one who came unannounced, and still he agreed to talk. She is in HIS meeting room and she just shouted at him when she was the one being rude.“Sorry…” She mumbles, frowning at herself. She just realized that she still owe the man a “thank you”, and instead of that, she seemed to have bullied him again. She spent her whole teenage years trying to get his attention and she failed, but now when she wants to cut him out of her life, it only seems to tangle their lives even closer.“You wanted to see me?” The man smiles at her, pulling out the chair at the end of the long table, next to her but not too close as the one beside her would be.Scar likes the distance.

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   269 Never Asked Question

    Sebastian never got that phone call.Mainly because Scar didn’t go through it. Call it cold feet, but she wasn’t even sure how to talk to him about it -- about her revenge plan.Never before had she felt so lonely, not even in those five years.In those five years, she knew she was shutting herself down. She couldn’t let herself crawl out of the grief of her baby, but she knew she had friends, and maybe families if she wanted.Not like now.She was so determined to die with Ava. To ruin her life like how Ava ruined hers, before ending it with their death. That was so simple and efficient a plan, and she was okay with that.But she can’t find the courage to embrace death in her anymore, not after the incident with Sebastian.She didn’t know if he saved her out of love or guilt, but he did save her. She had a glimpse of death, and he sheltered that dark shadow with his own body, and that shone a new light on her life. She is still living in the big house Silco got her, having all the fa

    “Why is Scar mama starting at the sky all the time?”Alice’s voice pulls back Scar’s wondering mind. She blinks, only to realize that she has again lost her train of thought sitting on the bay window in her bedroom. She has been like this for a week after the incident with Sebastian.She feels like a part of her is left behind at the dim abandoned factory, but she can’t pin down what.From the corner of her eye, she spots Alice sticking her head into her bedroom but only barely as if trying to hide, but her chubby hands grabbing the frame of the door already exposed her long before.How cute. Scar thinks.Pretending that she didn’t spot Alice, Scar sighs, drawling her tone as if talking to herself: “What a dull view. If only my cute little Alice is right here right now...”“But I am!” Alice couldn’t wait but jumped out from where she was hiding, raising her arms high up with a smile brighter than the sun, “Scar mama, I’m here to visit you!”Scar bursts into laughter as she picks Alice

  • She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked   267 Rule Of The Game

    That’s the only plausible option.He has no idea who Silco is, and he takes this blind shot only because: he doesn't feel any hostility from Silco against Scar. Silco IS pulling off some dirty shit, but it wasn’t to hurt HER. He was the only target in this show.Silco sent the men to abduct her, but the crash managed to hit the front left corner of Scar’s car when she was in the right back seat, where she would take the least damage. They imprisoned her but didn’t even pull a knife on her, not until he barged in. They chased after them with bats and others, but Scar came out with not even a scratch.They could have easily cracked his skull when he tried to guard the door with his own body.Even if it was all a show, it was carried out with great care. His motive is not hatred toward Jack Fuller, but care for Scar. After this long, the man has dodged only one of his questions: why he is helping Scar.Why indeed. There is no other possibility.To his surprise, Sebastian’s question makes

    “And puts him away for two or three years with half of that time paid off with YOUR money?” Silco lets out a cold snort, “Did you get to where you are all by your grandma’s wealth and that empty head of yours?”Sebastian’s ears turn red.“The only reason I would not press charges is if they would provide information on Jack Fuller, and Jack Fuller knows that,” Silco explains impatiently as if facing a silly student, “even if they deny that, Fuller won’t believe it. He is that kind of man.”“You know him personally?!” Sebastian catches that quickly.Silco lets out a cold smirk, but this time with satisfaction in his eyes.“Jack Fuller has some links to the mafia,” Silco continues, ignoring Sebastian’s question, “and I want to dig up his roots this time. Get it, smart kid?”“I’ll play along if you let me in your treatment plan for Scar,” Sebastian negotiates.“Now you care about her? Did you care when you left her for that mistress of yours on her wedding day? Did you care when you enjo

    Sebastian doesn’t want to.“I know about her episodes,” He pushes these words out of his clenched teeth. He got in touch with Scar’s medical team back when she was in the facility, but all he knew was, Scar couldn’t handle any strong emotion waves for now.“I know you do,” Silco laughs carelessly, “I was the one who told them to let you in. How else do you think you could get to MY people?”Sebastian frowns because he doesn’t want to look too surprised. The truth is, he IS surprised. He couldn’t get much more information no matter how much he offered, and before today, he thought the medical team was only being loyal to their vows of being doctors.Only now does he realize -- this man has been in control of everything. Reluctantly, Sebastian has to admit his defeat: “Please, tell me what she needs.”Silco lets out a cold snort, making it clear that he is not pleased: “You know what DPD is?”Sebastian nods. He has expected that to be her diagnosis, and he has been looking into it.“And
