She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 127 Lashing Out
Scarlett's POV“No, thanks,” Noticing Ava’s stare I add, “I have to go and guard my plunder.”Jack Fuller left the table when Ava teared up at her prince gulping in sweat. Anna Fuller sat through the dinner with us, mostly out of manner before she left the moment she was allowed to.But not Ava. She stayed, and apparently, she had words for him, too.It’s been a long day, and I need to make sure I have a bed to sleep in for the night. I wouldn’t be too surprised if Ava bought Alfred to mess up the room instead of cleaning.“I’ll walk you to your room then,” He offers jokefully, adding before I could say no, “Or you’d rather talk about our deal here?”“Seb...” Ava murmurs timidly as she approaches.I swing off his hand, looking at him coldly to wait for his decision. I know what his decision would be. Ava knows too. The only one who doesn’t seem to know is him.Ava nails her eyes on Sebastian, and he nails his on me. I leave. Love is a game big enough for only two, and I no longer want
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 128 Battle Horn
Scarlett’s POVSebastian left after my outburst that night. I think I hurt him after all. Rip the band-aid, right? He never comes again after that, and I had a week in peace. No annoying Ex, no Ava, and no news.In the end, our news didn’t make it to the front page. Not even the last page or any page. Jack Fuller secretly reached out to my cameraman only on the second day, proposing to buy out the video. And though the cameraman raised the price three times after a deal was made, Jack Fuller budged over and over again.I know because he wasn’t just any cameraman, he was one of Adrian’s best friends, a veteran from Afghanistan, and now my bodyguard.My homemade little video was sold at the price of fifty grand. I think I could push it even further than that, but we already got what we wanted -- to test out Jack Fuller's attitude--He went out on a limb to keep my name off the news, even though Ava would loved painting me as the worst adopted sister of all time.My family is definitely
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 129 Death Ants
Scarlett’s POV“So what did he took from your mom?” Lucas asks.“Well...”Lucas narrows his eyes: “Do you not know what it is?”No. I didn’t go through with Sebastian’s “deal”, and in the end, I only got to know that Jack Fuller took something.Damn that jerk.“Then how is it different if I’m going instead of you?” Lucas lets out a chuckle, seeing through my hesitation, “How were you even going to look for it though?”“Well...”“Yep, say no more,” Lucas concludes our conversation, realizing I have no good answer to his questions, “I’m not letting a pregnant woman climbing second-floor balconies to look for a maybe.”“I can sort of tell Jack Fuller’s things apart from something that doesn’t belong to his office--”“I’ll show you the study through video,” Lucas’s solution comes faster than my hard-came answer.“If they catch me red-handed, I’m just a daughter sneaking around her adopted father’s study, but if you--”“I won’t let them catch me.”That concluded our discussion. The party s
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 130 Gift With And Old Chain
Scarlett’s POV“What?!” It’s Olivia Keen’s voice, “We are in your dad’s study! You know how sacred it is to us kids?! The ‘forbidden roommmmm’!!!”I roll my eyes, whispering to Lucas: “I’m on my way!”You have to hand it to the mean girls -- they are mean to everyone, sometimes even to each other. They are selfish and horrible and they harm and betray, but somehow, they still make up with each other after. Birds of a feather, I guess?“What forbidden room?! That's just stupid! Is YOUR dad’s study open to everyone???” Ava snorts, closing the door. I don’t hear the light switch’s sound. So the room should be dark still. Lucas can hide, but not for long. I can’t imagine if Ava burst into a scream in the next few seconds and called the police on us.I can’t let Lucas get punished for my plan.“Pretty much, yeah,” Olivia’s indifferent voice comes through clear and loud, “Who still plays the last century spy-like rules at home, huh? What is your dad? An FBI?! Hey, can I take my boyfriend in

She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 131 Great Help
Scarlett’s POVShit, she’s coming out!I panic, looking around for a hiding place. I came to rescue Lucas, and I put on a party dress to mingle in. My plan was to make a scene and catch Ava’s attention -- she would flip if she saw me at her party. Then Lucas would get an escape window.But she wasn’t even there to guard anything. She was there to steal! And she not only notices Lucas, but is now coming out! Shit shit shit!I have no time but to turn and hide behind the pillar closest to the study when its door opens, but now I’m a full living room away from the staircase, and there is no way I can make it back to my room.I can’t let Ava see me outside of my room!“What are we hiding from?”A voice startles me jumping high, only to see Sebastian’s innocent face. He looks slightly stunned as if I was the one who was trying to give him a heart attack, instead of the other way around.Why is he suddenly everywhere when I stopped wanting to see his annoying face?!“There is no ‘we’!” I hi
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 132 The Emperor's New Necklace
Scarlett’s POV“I don’t know,” Ava blurts almost instantly without thinking, then her tone turns suspiciously, “...why are you asking?”“Why do you think?” Sebastian lets out a light laugh, but if I’m not mistaken, the laugh does not reach his eyes. I have never seen him treat Ava with such an attitude.Ava pouts her lips, staring at Sebastian with her deer eyes wide open, her tone timid like a tamed sister-in-law: “You are asking for...her? Are you two...getting back together?”Sebastian glances in my direction again: “Yes, hopefully soon.”Ava lowers her eyes.“I thought she might forgive me if I helped her locate her biological parents,” Sebastian continues as if not seeing Ava’s bothered look.“Daddy doesn’t want anything to do with that family,” Ava murmurs with a scared face, “says the junkies will strangle us like vines if they found out that their daughter got adopted by rich people...”Or maybe they would try to save me from him.Good story, Jack Fuller.“I understand. No par
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 133 My Own Justice
Scarlett’s POV“I don’t know if it belongs to your mom yet, but that necklace definitely has a story behind it,” Lucas smirks with confidence, “The chain has some rust on it. By the smell left in the case? I’d say...”I hold my breath, and he purses his lips, looking at me with a teasing smirk. I feel an anxiety rush when I realize he is taunting me, “What--?!”“Blood,” He blurts calmly, cutting my outburst out, and giving me another anxiety rush yet again.“What?!” I shrill.“Shushhhh!” He hisses at me, pointing at the door and leading me away from it and closer to the window. Right. It's not something for other’s ears.“But...blood? Why would there be blood on there? Do drug users spill blood when they are dying?” I can’t sort out a million questions in my mind, “And also, why would a junkie have such a nice necklace? And why would Jack Fuller take it? For money? He does not look like he is trying to sell it--”Lucas makes a quiet posture with his hand, finally shutting me up. He lo
