She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 152 Divorce Papers
Scarlett’s POVAfter that one bombing sentence, Adrian did not continue but started leading the way to his car.He has been shooting me observing looks all the way even after he started driving. I sneakily take longer breaths, waiting patiently for him to conduct his “mental status evaluation” on me. I don’t want him to worry about me, and I can handle this. I need him to know.“Lucas told me everything,” Adrian finally says, eying me in the rare mirror, “How have you been holding up? I’m actually impressed that you pulled yourself together after only three days.”I frown leeringly: “Please don’t tell me that the boss of the Dunn empire has been squatting downstairs of my hotel for the past three days...”Adrian lets out a laugh, the worry in his eyes faints a little.“I have eyes on your personal driver, that’s all,” Adrian gives me a harmless smile, “By the way, I’m not the only one doing that, apparently.”“Who else?!” I frown. I understand that Adrian is doing this out of concern

Scarlett's POVDare not to get into the past of my parents, I pushed everything to the back of my head when I got out of Adrian’s car and joined the shooting scene. It’s not wise to hang your mind on a decade-old divorce case when you are shooting a young adult romance.The main body of my story is the memory of the main characters, so we are shooting at a school for the first two months. Adrian’s alma mater was kind enough to allow the shooting of the campus, along with some classrooms and everything.I chose it because Sebastian -- the origin of my male lead in the story -- also went here, along with Ava and me. This is where our story happened. Adrian taunted me about this choice, thinking I was making my dream of a happy ending with Sebastian come true in my movie. A girl saved by a boy, ended up getting into a sweet relationship with him before entering a happy marriage.He was wrong.I’m not the origin of the female lead in the movie. Ava is.Sebastian might have saved me, but he

Scarlett’s POV“That’s your female lead, Aria,” James Deep suddenly turns over, apparently hearing Amilia’s comment on him and apparently, not planning on saying anything about that, “Amilia, you are up in five.”“Yes, sir!” Amilia makes a face at him and leaves, but not before she winks at me.I can’t close my shocked open mouth.For a moment there I really thought I met the young Ava -- the pretty, bright, perfect girl in school who is nice to you even if just met. But maybe because she plays Ava, I now can’t shake off the feeling that behind her smile there are also dark schemes running.But that’s not even the issue--“You--you...you chose her?!” I mumble at James Deep, more like talking to myself, “...why?”James Deep shoots me a cocky look: “Are you asking because she fits the image of your female lead?”I close my mouth. Yep, he totally saw through me and my script. I thought it was a clever twist -- everyone knows I’m Mrs. Knight, and everyone knows the story of the Fuller gir

Scarlett’s POVHe knows nothing!“I have never followed you anywhere,” I fold my arms, feeling safer. His suspicion is only about that night. No way he would ever suspect that I heard his dark plan, too.“You FAILED to,” He corrects me in an arrogant tone. Lucas's pride would definitely refute if he was here. But he isn’t.“Are you always this paranoid, or you don’t know the possible consequences of slander, Mr. Lawyer?” I grin at him, and he purses his lips into a smirk, not talking back.“Mr. Scott,” James Deep makes way and Oliver Scott follows us out, and so does Damian Vanderbilt. I follow them, and can’t help but throw peeks at him from the side.This man is my brother? Biological one? Like Gabriel to Ava? He is taller than Gabriel, but not as bulky. He wears thin glasses, but somehow I just feel like he is not any less a fighter than Gabriel. What would it be like if he was as protective of his sister as Gabriel of Ava?“Like what you see?” He suddenly turns around and catches

Scarlett’s POVIn his sorrowful gaze, I shake my head subconsciously. But I can’t utter the word “no”. It’s hard to lie, especially when the lie won’t trick anyone. Not me, nor him.With a bitter smile, he lets go of my waist slowly.He was the one who pushed me away. He wanted it so badly, and finally, when I did it, he was also the one giving me this sorrowful look, making me feel guilty as hell.“Action!” Just at the moment where I’m dying of awkwardness, James Deep shouts. I quickly turn to the scene, and Sebastian walks up to my side.Samuel and Aria -- Sebastian and Ava -- talk in the hallway just like how they used to in my memory. Except this time, she isn’t the one stealing such a moment from a dark, jealous sister, but the actual girl who was saved--Samuel walks in with his football pals in laughter and talks, his eyes bright and his smile clean. When he passes Aria, she lowers her head and dodges his eyes. He stops, staring at her with a curious look.“Do I know you?” Ari

Sebastian’s POVIt’s not the first time that I have had this doubt.Scar is a lot like the girl I saved...more than Ava. Not her look, her spirit. I guess I saw that even before she brought up the divorce. I dodged her exactly because I couldn’t accept myself looking for similarities between her and the girl I saved when she was Ava’s bully.I stare into her eyes, and I can’t see a shred of guilt for lying.Disappointment overwhelms me.“She...she what?” I frown, blinking to reboot my brain. Ava showed a video of my proposal??? I didn’t even know I was going to propose that day, and Ava definitely didn’t take a video.It’s ridiculous how everyone thinks I’m in love with Ava when of all women, I have never even dated her.Scar’s script sets up so romantically and ideally, but the truth is, Ava and I have been in the same strings of schools, but never at the same time. Even Scar, the first impression I have of her that I can remember was when I visited Ava when they both entered high sc

Sebastian’s POV“It’s not the same,” I frown.Scar knew about me and Ava, but does Adrian dare to let her know about him and her best friend? Besides, Aurora is Scar’s best friend, when Ava is only...Scar’s sister.Okay, maybe it looks similar on some levels, but I never misled Scar about my feelings about her! That’s the difference!“I would have saved you in that abandoned building,” I see how stubborn I am in her eyes, but I can’t back away on this, “I did, whether you believe it or not. So if you are into him just because he saved you, then don’t. Scar, gratitude is not the same as love--”“So why are you pursuing me then?” Scar cuts me off, “Please don’t tell me it’s out of ‘love’.”It is. But I know she won’t believe me. I didn’t even know when it happened.“This is not about me. Even if you don’t forgive me, you shouldn’t choose Adrian. He is bad news.”“I thought you were good friends,” Scar cocks her eyebrows, “What did he do to deserve that comment?”A lot! He secretly came

She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 219 Omen Feeling
“So…you really trust this…Silco?” Lilith asks Scar with her eyes still on Alice, who’s just a few inches away, laughing on the carousel as it runs around. Spent most of her life on a private island, entertainment parks are like miracle lands to Alice. And the bright smile on her chubby little face makes it so hard for Lilith to say no. Not that she wants to anyway: It’s the best chance to get Scar to spend time with Alice. Johnny Vanderbilt wanted to take Alice back to his city after Scar went to prison. Knowing how Scar felt about Damian, Lilith chose to help Sebastian and took Alice to hide on a private island Sebastian got under Granny’s maiden name. At least this way Alice gets to grow up with her father. The plan worked well at first. Sebastian narrows his work days to 2 in the office, moving most of his work online and spending all five days on the island with them. For quite a long time Alice thought Lilith was her mom, and Lilith didn’t put in a real effort to correct her

Driving for 20 minutes in the car, Scar’s eyes are still cold from the outburst earlier. She has loved that man, and hated that man. He is just to painful to keep in her heart. She wants him out of her life, but he just keep coming and stir things up! “So heartless about him, hmm?” Silco breaks the silence tauntingly, “Sure you won’t regret it? I know how much you loved him before.” “That’s none of your business!” Scar snorts coldly, her tone not at all like the sugar baby she shows others.
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 217 The Liar
“Scar!” Scar left when Sebastian was dragged down by the Fullers. By the time he catches up, she’s already by a pure black luxury car waiting right outside of the Fuller’s gate. Scar wasn’t going to wait for him until Sebastian hurried up a few steps and put his fingers between the half-closed door. If he has to be honest, he is surprised that Scar didn’t close the door on his fingers anyway. But Scar turns visibly impatient at his way of stopping her. “You just never settle for what’s yours at the time, do you?” Scar says coldly, standing behind the door when Sebastian feels like the door is the furthest distance in the world. A cold snort lands quietly in the car. Sebastian hears. On the back seat sits that masked man, Silco. That name upsets him. That man is using Scar, if he is not playing her also, he knows. He looked into that guy, and found nothing. Nothing! That’s not normal, and it's not at the level of resources he has. Maybe that man doesn’t exist on papers, meaning a

The phone call changes Scar back to the vengeful fallen angle. For now. “I’ll go after Johnny Vanderbilt for what he did on his part, thanks but that’s none of your business…” Scar curves her lips, her devil like grin has no warmth, sending chills down the spine of her enemies, “I hope your family really have no trouble with your lousy explanation on cheating, Mrs. Fuller. But for now, I want my mom’s necklace.” Anna shakes her head slowly with mercy in her eyes, as if Scar is just a misbehaving child who doesn’t know better. “What happened to you, Scarlett?” Anna insists on calling Scar the name she gave her, ignoring Scar’s words, “Are you seeing anyone for these episodes? It’s not a light thing. If you need help—” “Not from you!” Scar spats with cold anger, “Stop with the hypocritical act of yours! You just don’t know when to stop even after your true color is exposed, do you? I was wondering where Ava got that from.” “How dare you talk to my mom like that!?” Ava shrills, blow
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 215 Panic Attack
For years Scar has been wondering where Ava got the lying and acting from without a hint. It was right under her nose. It was Anna Fuller, Ava’s mom who is so good at lying that Scar didn’t even notice anything wrong! Anna cost Scar’s mom, and Anna’s daughter took Scar’s baby! Like mother, like daughter! She won’t let them get away this time! She can’t unite with her mom and baby with peace before she gets justice from this pair of snakes! “You need to talk to your father, honey—” Anna Fuller reaches for Scar’s face like the perfect mom she paints herself to be. Sebastian pulls Scar back a step, blocking her with his body as he grunts warningly: “Anna, stop it.” She turned on the manipulating machine again. But Scar heard Anna already. Letting out a cold snort, Scar murmurs slowly: “My father…” The laughter is full of bitterness, anger, hatred and disappointment, everything but what should associated with that word. “Scar…” Sebastian tries to pull her close, but Scar remains wh

“Gabriel,” Scar suddenly turns to the big dumb bear, “There was a time when you bullied me at school and were caught by the teacher. When my teacher asked you to give her mom’s number, you said the wrong number before you quickly changed it. Except it wasn’t a ‘wrong’ number, was it? It was the number you were told to memorize when you were a kid before it was changed to her current one. Why did she use this phone number for twenty years without any trouble when you had to memorize two?” Gabriel opens his mouth like a big mole who digs through its ceiling to the ground by accident. “Mom…?” Gabriel stammers, looking at Anna like a lost boy. He doesn’t know how he could not fall into Scar’s trap. There is no way because it’s not a trap. It’s an endless dark hole in his mom’s past that as much as she’s trying, she’s failing to cover up. “That’s too stretched, don’t you think?” Ava struggles, “Just because of a name and a random mistake—” “Silco pulled the info of the owner who owned
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 213 The Old Number
“Oh my poor Scarlett…” Anna Fuller grips her chest with a hand as if her heart pains, her soulful eyes filled with tears glimmering, “You had a few rough years, I know…I wanted to look for you but…” But Jack didn’t let me? But Ava would be heartbroken? Anna said none of those words, but knowing her too well, Scar knew what the indication was. Scar tilts her head, as if seeing Anna for the very first time in her life. In some way, yes. That’s how Anna Fuller talks. Painting herself as the most pitiful person in the world even when you are the real victim, at the same time indicating that someone else is at fault, anyone but her. She might have never told Scar to hate Jack Fuller, but every time when she “comforts” Scar, she paints another layer of hatred over Scar. Like when Jack Fuller ignores Scar, instead of sitting both of them down and talk it out like a proper mom should, Anna would secretly go to Scar when no one else is around, and say things like, “It’s okay, baby, you st
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 213 Mistress of Johnny Vanderbilt
Looking at Gabriel’s steaming head, Scar giggles, waving her hand indifferently. “I came with big money behind me this time, and that’s why your fox of a father and snake of a sister are treating me with a basic manner. They know they can’t push me around but they are not stopping you from pissing me off because they want to see what I can do about your disrespect. Do you know what that means?” “Bullshit!” Gabriel grunts, but he can’t help but glance in his father and sister’s direction either. “I’ll tell you what I will do to you,” Scar stops spinning her phone, putting it in her purse as she stands up, her look bored and cruel, “That little precious company of yours that’s misleading you into thinking that you are not pure valueless trash? It’s going down in exactly three days. I know it doesn’t exactly hurt them,” She nods in Jack Fuller and Ava’s direction, “I mean, how could it when they never cared about you?” “You—” Gabriel wants to shout, but Scar cuts him off— “BUT, I’m
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 212 The Heartless Mom
Scar was already at the Fullers when Sebastian made it. The last time Sebastian was with her in Jack Fuller’s living room was five years ago now, yet he feels like it was only yesterday. It might have something to do with the fact that he barely lived a day since. Just surviving. Sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed elegantly, Scar swings her foot lightly with an indifferent look. She is in a business set: white, tight blouse and straight short skirt. A pair of high heels, of course indicating one thing: She’s here for serious business. Just not the kind Jack Fuller looks forward to. That much is obvious because the owner of the living room sits right across Scar with every line of the muscle on his face stretched tight, as if facing a cannibal monster. He is scared, and he ought to be. Though Scar wouldn’t claim it, she’s still a Vanderbilt. Damian has all but thrown everything the Fuller had into fire in the past five years. Ava and her dad did little to improve Z-House’s
