She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 155 Who’s Your Male Lead
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
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 156 The Yellow Dress
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
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 157 Work It Out
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
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 158 Where I Lost
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 159 Twice In A Day
Scarlett’s POVI have to admit, Oliver Scott is a good actor alright.I didn’t add too much twist in the movie for Adrian’s role. In the story, he is just an admirer who is fun, teasing with genuine love. Flat characters like this don’t entice the audience that much. He is not a necessary role for the plot, but a hidden bonus in the movie just for me.But Oliver Scott made him luring.He painted a bad boy who is annoying, who is feared and worshipped by his peers, who does things his own way, and who is the opposite of the white knight. But even so, he doesn’t come off as a villain, but as a deeper character with many layers.If the love between the boy and the girl who he saved is a sweet cheesecake, then his feelings toward “Scar” is like a bowl of spicy buffalo wings -- dangerous yet luring, scary yet enticing.“I know I’m not exactly what you imagine for this role,” Oliver Scott leaves the scene, walking up to me, “but I convinced the director to show you what I can bring out of t
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 160 Sebastian's Question
Scarlett’s POV“Hmm...”I mean, nice gesture but, it’s what a husband does for his wife when they actually live together. We don’t.Hesitating at his hand, I’m a bit daunted in the face, not sure how to refuse without being too hostile. I don’t want to make him my enemy anymore. It’s tiring hating a person. But I don’t know how to be friendly without giving him false hope.We can’t go back.“I’m here bearing gifts,” He pulls out two files from behind his back like they are secret flowers, “Take my hand and they are yours. I know for sure that you don’t want to miss at least one of them.”The divorce papers? I almost blurt that, but I swallow them. It’s too mean.“What is it?” I demand before taking his hand. He cocks an eyebrow, looking slightly surprised as he laughs: “I thought you would ask if they are our divorce papers.”It would be a good joke if his smile was not bitter.“It’s the divorce papers of your parents,” He sighs as if a bit disappointed that I didn’t say the mean thin
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 161 A Second Chance
Scarlett’s POVI stop, but I don’t know how to turn around.For a long moment I pause there, and for a long moment, he waits patiently behind me.How great it would be, if he had asked me this question at ANY POINT in our marriage? If he had doubted Ava just a little bit in the long time window when I kept hope, I would have jumped to tell him the truth. If I had even a shred of confidence that he would have believed me, I would have.But now...I turn around, only to find him standing on the green grass when I’m already off on the cold blacktop. A hard line between us, like the five years that we can leap over. He looks at me with too complicated a look that I can’t quite read. In his eyes are hope, struggle, hesitation, and...fear.Fear of what? Of me being the girl he saved? Or not?“The question is...” I take a deep breath just so I can look into his eyes, “Do you WANT me to be?”Were you taking care of Ava ONLY because of that girl, or was your love for her also because of who sh
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 162 Little Witch
Scarlett’s POV“I, owe, you?” I raise my eyebrows, poking his chest with a frown.Sebastian chuckles at my “attack”, holding my waist tighter: “I owe you a million apologies and more. I owe you a good husband, a comfortable home, and five years of happiness, but yes, this one thing, you do owe me.”“I gave you a chance and a million after that,” I humph at him, trying to push him away with my arms as wedges between us. Effort in vain.“You don’t love me anymore, do you?” Sebastian asks and I lower my eyes. He taps my chin up with a hooked finger, but to my surprise, there is a smile instead of sadness in his eyes, “I know you don’t, and I deserve that. But you forced me to marry you when I wasn’t in love with you, and you owe me a chance to pursue you now, when our position is exactly the opposite.”“I just want what you asked of me five years ago, Scar,” Sebastian gazes at me with his soulful eyes, “Every bit of my debt I will pay, but I want to collect just this one debt from you...
