She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 135 Getting Drunk
Scarlett’s POVIt won’t work if Ava doesn’t leave Sebastian’s side, which is the most cases. Betting on my luck, I sneak to the edge of the staircase, peeking out without exposing myself.The lobby has only the chandelier on, dim mode. The faint yellow light cast an ambiguous spell on the crowd, and the air smells sexy. With the help of alcohol, it’s like everyone’s reason has been taken a bite from, and they are all now shaking their heads at the music, laughing and occasionally touching their bodies.The party is well-done now.In a light dress, I don’t stand out at all. Unlike Sebastian--I’m a bit surprised to find him sitting by the bar all alone, a drink in his hand and no Ava. He looks sullen and bored, but lucky for me, he is not leaving. The moment I look over, as if felt something, he suddenly looks up, and his eyes crushes right into mine. Then he smiles. A clean, friendly smile with little intention behind it. Just purely to be friendly.Just like the day when he saved me.
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 136 Lie To Me
Sebastian’s POVI was pleasantly surprised that Scar would initiate a talk, only to realize -- Scar wants something from me.She is a free spirit, the opposite of Ava. She says what she thinks, and she does what her heart tells her to. Always. But not when she wants something. She turns into a different person, a tame girl who tries her best to behave, to flatter, to restrain.I used to scorn at that. I felt like she was always asking for something when Ava never asked for things. On top of that, she does it in a timid, almost scared way and I didn’t like it.Scar would ask all my friends but me about what I might like to get me “the right” gift, and ask me if I liked the gift when she gave it to me. If I said “yes”, she would smile so brightly with a timid question -- “Then do I get a full day with you? Just us?”I didn’t like Scar’s “hidden conditions” for the gifts, so I hated it when she gave me gifts. I felt like there were always traps behind it. I never thought about how hard i
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 137 Dream time is up
Sebastian’s POVAs I watch her trying to engage me in a conversation, to keep me distracted with phony gratitude, I can taste only bitterness in my mouth no matter how much nerve-number I pour down.I know why she could lie to me now -- I’m no longer special to her.I am to her now as is everyone else, a person she can use and not feel bad about it. Honesty is to her a “solid base for marriage”. I ruined that marriage, and she is allowed to not give a damn to its base.She was right. She built a home for me, for us. A real home, not just a house to live in, a harbor where I could relax from my day and recharge, where I was cared for to the extreme without paying anything.I broke that heaven into pieces without realizing what I had.I watch her -- I meant I “not notice” her steal my phone and give it to a guy I don’t even know like the most awkward thief in the world that she is, tasting the bitter pain in my chest as if a thousand needles are piercing me.She has made her bed, then s
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 138 Scar’s Pilgrimage
Scarlett’s POVIt can’t be Lucas if we are going through the door instead of the window. It has to be me. Even if anyone sees me, it won’t be a crime.“What took you so long?!” I hiss at him when he drags me to a dark corner. In his hand is an old bronze key of a weird shape. The gate of the villa uses a fingerprint lock, but Jack Fuller’s study still uses one of those old-school locks with a complicated physical key.What's he hiding in there?“This kind of lock is very expensive, one lock with only one key, and the key can’t be duplicated,” Seeing my confusion, Lucas explains, “And to answer your question, it’s because you gave me the wrong password for the phone.”“What?! It’s not Ava’s birthday?!” I exclaim, “I swear I have seen him using that.”“Well, maybe it was, but now it isn’t,” Lucas has a weird look on his face, “do you want to know what it is?”“It’s okay,” I wave my hand, “I don’t plan on stealing his phone all the time!”I have never stolen anything in my life. I was so
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 139 Two Can Play This Game
Scarlett’s POVI cover my mouth in shock, throwing the case into the safe and locking it, only to realize I have got nowhere to escape. How could she be back so quickly?!“Scarlett!” Ava keeps shouting, wracking the doorknob like crazy, “You stole my key, didn’t you?! You dare to sneak into Daddy’s study?! You are dead! Daddy told me you would try something and you certainly did! Open up!”I struggle between the door and the balcony.It’s not safe if Lucas is not there to catch me, if I go with the air way. But if I go with the door...I wanted to play dumb and investigate first, but I guess the beans are spilling. I grip the key in one hand, and the doorknob in another. If this is how it’s blowing out--“Some guy climbed into her window,” I hear a guy’s voice across the door, his words are for Ava apparently. I hold my breath and wait.Some guy? What guy? Lucas? Into my room, not the study??? Wait, they have eyes on the windows???!“The cameraman? Into her room? They are not sleeping
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 140 Heroic Moment In A War
Scarlett’s POV“What was that?!” Ava demands in haste, charging back to the study.Damn it! She heard me.Sebastian knocks on the glass door lightly, pointing at the lock. Luckily with Ava’s frantic shout and turning the doorknob as cover, I unlocked the glass door and opened it smoothly.“What--” I hiss at him but he covers my mouth and pulls me out to the balcony.“What did you text Ava?” He asks directly.“I--I don’t know...” I murmur. Lucas sent it. I didn’t leave until I returned his phone--Wait, he knew?!Sebastian drops that topic fast. “Under the table or cross the balcony’s gap, choose one,” He says swiftly with a strict tone, turning me to the direction of my room, “Under the table is safer, but walking out can be tricky--”“The balcony,” I choose fast. The gap between the two balconies is less than one meter. I think Jack Fuller prepared the bedroom for his little girl from the start, and he never thought danger could come from this direction.But it’s still scary.I look
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 141 His Rejection
Scarlett’s POV“You found it on the ground?!” Ava hisses in shock. From the sound of it, she slips into the study and shuts the door, “I-I really lost the key?”“I’m sorry,” Sebastian says.The bitterness in his voice aches me. He hates lying, and now I forced him to lie, to someone he cares about no less. I’m owning him more and more.I stick my head out of my door to peek, just to see Ava’s minion Ethan pasting his ear on the study’s door. We scare each other, and we both pull our heads back.“But why are you here?” Ava demands with full suspicion, “You told me to meet you in the woods where you saved me.”Shit!I stick an airpod in my ear as I charge out of the door. I didn’t know what Lucas texted her, but I knew it was by the lake! Why didn’t I at least tell him that?! I need to warn him!“The woods?” Sebastian asks with a genuinely confused tone, “Did you misread the text? Is that why you didn’t come to the lake?”What?! I freeze in the hallway, staring into each other with Etha
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 142 The Venderbilt's Heir
Scarlett’s POVI have never seen him sad like this. Before when I have a fight with him for Ava, he usually just snorts coldly, or brushes it off. Never did he care so much that his whole voice was spilling out pain.His pain stings me.“Yes, very!” I say in a vicious tone, glaring back at him, “I’m sorry if you said that in exchange for a dead marriage, but you shouldn’t have done it if you think it’s not worth it!”“I didn’t say that,” Sebastian sighs, his voice tired and low, “I know I need to keep a distance from her, I just didn’t want to do it in a cruel way...”“I told you I stayed for blood, and I told you I tore the divorce papers just to torture your precious,” I feel my blood boiling in a cold fire, “I don’t care if you stay her knight in shining armor, just don’t come and ask me to join you! If you are putting her above every and any of your things, that’s your choice!”Not mine, and certainly not my baby’s!For a moment I really thought I could trust him with our baby. I g
