She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 164 Dark World
Damian’s POV“The mean girl? Who’s married? Whose blood type is registered as AB?” I blink at Oliver, can’t quite process what he said, “How much did you drink tonight?”He rolls his eyes at me. He rolls his eyes at ME when he is the one being ridiculous?!“Uncle Johnny always says that I saved your life, when in fact I hesitated about helping you,” Oliver suddenly blurts, coming to sit by my side, “I felt bad taking your help because...I don’t know if I would have saved you, if it wasn’t my team member that hurt you in the first place.”“What do you mean?”“I mean,” Oliver raises his glass, giving me a mysterious smile, “the world is a dark place.”What does that mean?!“You know I lost my parents to a car accident, right?” Oliver leans in, his voice low and his look heavy, which is very rare, if you know him. “A car crashed into him, but it wasn’t an accident. It was murder.”“What?! Why the hell didn’t you say anything?! We can look into it--”“The driver is still in prison,” Oliver

Damian’s POV“So the surprise you invited tonight was Scarlett Fuller?”Oliver gives me his icon smirk: “You said you wanted to get to know her while looking into whether she’s the real Alice, no? So, I invited both of them.”And neither of them showed up.Waited late into the night, Oliver finally began to get nervous. Taking the time to rest, I close my eyes so I don’t have to see his guilty look.“That’s weird...” Oliver mumbles to himself, but makes it loud enough for me to hear, “I was so sure that at least Scarlett Fuller would come...”I can’t help my laugh escaping me, and Oliver hits me on the shoulder with red ears.“What?!” I laugh at him, “You have met them like what, twice?? What makes you so sure that--”“I saw her eyes!” Oliver cuts me off with solemn look, “I recognize a clean look in them, it’s like...like someone who maintains her innocence after seeing real darkness...I don’t know how to describe it, but I just feel her, okay?!”Seeing my taunting nod his solemnness
Huling Na-update : 2024-10-11She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 166 Work Acquaintances
Damian’s POVI frown at the sight, confused, too.I got her 10,000$ in that fight last time. I didn’t dare give her more because she might get suspicious. So when she didn’t return to the black fight club, I took that as the money being enough to cover whatever problem she was having. So why is she doing another part-time? At such a place no less?!“You don’t work your people too hard, do you?” Oliver says with a sarcastic tone, “I knew there was a dark side in that girl! Not to brag but... I told you soooo.”I click my tongue at him, and he raises both his hands but rolls his eyes at the same time.Oliver doesn’t like Lilith for some reason. He keeps calling her my pet because he sees her as a gold digger. Well, he sees all women around me as gold diggers, and most of the time, I agree with him. But he is wrong about Lilith. She has something special in her. I don’t know why he can’t see that.“Since your surprises are not coming anyway--” I stand up, sorting my suit. Maybe I should

Scarlett's POVI asked Sebastian to come to the party with me. Well, I told Sebastian about it, and he tagged along against my suggestion.“Since when have you been interested in disco bars?” Sebastian tries to hide his impatience. Effort in vain. He prefers quiet ones.“No one even invited you,” I roll my eyes, looking around for Oliver.“I want to be with YOU,” He grunts, following me tightly as he tries to avoid making contact with anyone, an annoyed look on his face, “It could have been at home--”“I couldn’t have been because I wasn’t planning on going home with you,” I wheel on him, somehow, in the crowd, “I said you have a chance, under the condition that you won’t put Ava Fuller above me. I’m not just going back to be your tamed little wife, not again!”“I know, I know!” He raises both his hands, smiling tamely, “I’m sorry. You can at least come home to sleep, no? I won’t be there.”“So what, now I’m chasing you out of your own house?” I shake my head, but before we can get to
Huling Na-update : 2024-10-14She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 168 Interested In Killing
Scarlett’s POVMy only way out is blocked by Oliver Scott.What do I do? Why does he seem to have a problem with me? I barely even know him. For Ava? If so, then does that mean he would look out for his real sister? But he wanted her dead! Besides, I can’t even prove I AM his sister even if I want to!“Hey, it’s okay,” Oliver Scott suddenly says, “He is here for a girl who played him, and that’s why he came to my table. If you don’t like it, I’ll ask him to leave.”“Tsk,” Damian Vanderbilt clicks his tongue, shooting a glare at his friend, “Seriously?”I blink the tears that are almost pouring out back in. Really? He would be on my side?“I want to leave,” I say quietly to Oliver Scott, staring into his eyes, my heart pumping fast in my chest. Oliver looks at me for several long seconds without too much of an expression, but then he stands up and makes way.“I didn’t know bullies scares so easily,” Damian Vanderbilt taunts. I turn around in worry, but he is not coming after me, “I mea
Huling Na-update : 2024-10-14She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 169 Summoned
Damian’s POV“What if I don’t?” I tease Scarlett Fuller.Why is she so afraid of me? I don’t think I have ever offended her in any way. But she looks at me as if worried that I would eat her alive.“Then I will ask you what makes you think you have the right to say so, when she can go and do whatever she wants to do,” Sebastian Knight shoots me a hostile look.He doesn’t seem to be what Ava Fuller told me about -- a guy Scarlett forced to marry with dirty tricks. If last time he didn’t help Ava because he cares about his image in public, he has no reason to stand up for her against me for such a slight tease.“You seem to be afraid of me,” I ignore the protective husband, asking the little bunny, “Why?”She freezes where she is like a scared bunny. Now I’m really confused. Wasn’t that question completely harmless? But it was like I said I would kill her.Lilith is here, and I don’t want her to spot Lilith. That’s all.[I’m out at a bar. Wanna come?] I text Lilith. If she lies to me, t
Huling Na-update : 2024-10-15She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 170 The Worst Lead
Scarlett's POVI just need a no from him.I don’t care if I would have to go anyway. I don’t care if deep inside his heart, he still can’t just let Ava die. I just need him to tell me that he is on my side. I don’t know how to lower my expectations lower than that.Hesitating for a long moment, Sebastian asks: “If it weren’t for me, would you have been a friendly pair of sisters?”Is it so hard to choose me?Ava Fuller has her loving parents, her real brother AND a fake brother looking out for her! Even as fragile as she is, would she die if you, Sebastian Knight, say that you don’t want your wife to sacrifice for her? Our blood is rare, it’s not extinct!I look at him with disappointment filling up my chest. My decision to try it with him feels so stupid that my ears turn red.“Please, go and attend to her,” I tell him, hearing my voice icy cold. All I can do is control my tremble enough to hide the crying tone, “I don’t want to be seen as a freaking bully before of her again!”Damia
Huling Na-update : 2024-10-16She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 171 Keeping Me Sane
Damian’s POV“What’s going on?” Oliver frowns in the direction of the bar.He has been staring in that direction ever since Scarlett Fuller left. He said he was into her, but I thought he was joking. I mean, they barely knew each other. Even if he is interested in her, it can only be so shallow.“Nothing is going on, it’s a bar and she is an adult,” I tease him, “If you really are worried about her, maybe you should help me figuring out why she’s afriad of me.”I wouldn’t want such a random problem getting in the way of me getting to know her. I mean, she’s likely a Vanderbilt.“Maybe because you have been cold to her,” Oliver glares at me, “I mean, what’s that about? I would have doubted if you loved Alice if I didn’t know better.”Am I cold to her?I mean, except for the first time when I thought she bullied my Alice. I guess I haven’t been exactly friendly to her, but it’s because I didn’t want to rush into anything.“You never accused me of being cold to Ava. Why?” I ask Oliver cu

She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 301 A Different Answer
In the end, Lilith told Sebastian everything she knew, didn’t get anything out of that man, AND got pushed into the small bedroom -- to avoid Scar.She didn’t notice the door on the wall behind his desk when she first went into his office. The door is small, the room smaller -- just enough for a single bed, a table and a floor mirror. Nothing more. The owner of the room didn’t put any thoughts into comfort when he was deciding the ufnction of the room.The bed is not made. Someone just used it very recently. The table is, magically, messier. On its top piled papers, folders, and notes. Whoever left them there, left them in an order that he might recognize, but no others could.Lilith dares not touch anything. Turning around twice, she ends up standing in the small space between the bed and the door, awkwardly.“Where is your honorable guest?” Scar starts firing the moment she is allowed in. Lilith gets so nervous, her breathe slows down to the lowest, too. Scar might be on fire, think
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 300 The Predator
Sebastian’s words freezes Lilith. His accurate intuiation shocks, but not as much as his aggressive eyes. Looking into his eyes, Lilith knows she can’t win this fight without needing him to say those words. She has seen how tamed this man can be in front of Scar, and that gave her the illusion that he is not dangerous. Not as how any man in his position holding his kind of power should be.How wrong was she.When it comes to anyone but Scar, he is still the predator who is to be reckoned with.She frowns and tries to run, but the man wouldn’t let her open the door: “If you know that Silco might harm Scar and you hide it from me, then it’s on your hand when Scar gets hurt.”“It’s on me when I refuse to deliver Scar into YOURS hands, which are holding Ava Fuller’s filthy bloody ones?!” Lilith fights back fiercely, “Don’t make me laugh! I come here because YOU begged to make amendment, no the other way around!”The man doesn’t show it, but Lilith could see that her words sting. If there
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 299 Seen Through
Does she really treat Sebastian differently?Scar doesn’t like touching this question. It stings. He is like a wound on her heart that just won’t heal. Every scar he left on her remains hurting, bleeding, and corrupting nonstop, yet she just can’t seem to gouge it out.If only she could.Why is it so hard to just cut all ties with this man? However she warns herself of the danger this man poses, she keeps finding him back in her life, closer and closer.Unlike Ava who has never even apologized for what happened but basically took all the harm she did on Scar as okay, Sebastian apologizes. He puts up the genuine guilt act all the time. Doing the right thing, that’s his brand. He takes all his chances to apologize, but he still doesn’t understand--His fault is not giving Ava a key to his house. It wasn’t even falling for that simple lie when the
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 298 Sebastian's Affair
Scar couldn’t answer Silco’s question.What kind of a question was that?! She doesn’t treat them differently! They are all her enemies, and they all played a part in that horrifying night five years ago! When Ava bullied her, Sebastian took Ava’s side; when Ava needed her blood, Sebastian was the one plugging the tube into Scar’s wrist; when Ava tried to murder her child, HIS child, he gave Ava the key to their house! So of course she treats them differently! If Ava was a murderer, then Sebastian was just a stupid tool Ava used; if Ava wanted her dead, Sebastian only failed to protect her.So why that question?!Why SHOULD she treat them as equally evil? She doesn’t only because she is a fair person!Having a bloody battle in her mind, Scar couldn’t help but feel angry when she couldn’t pin down where the anger comes from.It was a simple question, one that she does have an answer for.So why couldn’t she?Why did she feel guilty when Silco asked that, and why did she run from that qu
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 297 Different Treatment
Silco finally nods with a proud smile, seeing Scar had led her to where he was leading her to go: “I think that would raise our chances by a lot, princess.”Scar’s eyes beam, not at the coming win, but at the proud look from Silco.She doesn’t even realize it.Never in the first twenty years of life has she tasted what being proud of feels like, and that’s not because of a lack of trying. For a very long time, she believed so long as she worked hard, she would get the praise from Jack and Anna just like Ava. She never did.It feels amazing.While Scar is enjoying her newfound secret, forbidden satisfaction, Lilith is amazed at the closeness shared between Scar and Silco that her best friend doesn’t seem to even notice herself. Does Scar still remember that she doesn’t even know the identity of this man? Scar looks up at him like a little lamb at her shepherd.What’s with this sudden, almost-father-daughter vibe?!“So we just wait?” Scar asks Silco, “What if they don’t make a move?”“Y
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 296 New Deal, New Plan
“Silco!” Still in the euphoric state, Scar springs off the sofa, demanding the man like a little girl, “You knew him?! Elijah Green? Did you know what a weirdo he was?! Who tells people that they look like their dead friend on the first time they meet?! Why on earth did you make me go to that horrible party?! You owe me an explanation!”Silco lets out a smirk, “Dead...friend? Interesting...” He laughs at her pout, rubbing her hair as he leads her back to the sofa: “The party was horrible? Then why did I hear that the Fuller’s mother-daughter pair put on quite a show to entertain?”Well, it WAS quite enjoyable when they panicked as their lies spilled all over the floor before Scar picked it up for them.Scar sticks her tongue out.“Sure, she begged me for mercy,” Scar shrugs, throwing herself back into the sofa with a loud sigh, “but they only wanted to keep up their lies in front of the Green Lady. I have been calling her about our deal and she hasn’t picked up yet. Pretty sure I got

“I have heard a lot about you,” Elijah Green grins at Scar, giving a meaningful glance in the Green Lady’s direction.The Fullers are pasting around the Green Lady again, like two buzzing flies that would always come back. Looking over, Scar couldn’t help but let out a snort, “So have I.” She says with a cold voice, “Is that what this conversation is for?”If he is here to fight for Ava, too. Scar frowns. She swears to God! She would—“I think they are lying to mom,” Elijah Green answers tamely, as if he doesn’t even hear the sarcasm in Scar’s tone. In Scar’s surprised look, the man laughs like a marshmallow, with a childish, mischievous shade in there, “Anyone who looks so much alike my dear -- hmm -- friend, couldn’t be a bully.”Every time he says that, he adds a pause in there as if it originally wasn’t a “friend”, but something else there. Weird. Scar thinks.“...but I bet you are fierce, no? I bet you are kind to people, but take the stand if needed,” Elijah Green is still going
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 294 King Of The Diamons
Sebastian is afraid.Never in his life has he been so. How could he not? He is in the face of his final judgement. He only got through the past five years lying to himself that Scar hated him because Alice died, when he managed to save Alice. That’s his one shred of hope. That some day, when he could tell Scar that, all will be forgiven and forgotten.But that’s precisely why he dared not touch it. Because deep down, he knows that the answer is likely to be no.He just doesn’t know how to survive that answer. If his actions would never get forgiveness from the one person he can’t live without. Then what?It takes him all his willpower to force his eyes up to meet Scar’s. His throat so dry that it starts hurting. He grips a fist, hides it in his pocket with his whole body stiff like a rock.There is storm in Scar’s eyes.There is anger, of course. Anger for all that has happened. Anger for all his stupid mistreatment and self-righteousness. Anger for all the hurt he used to meet her lo
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 293 His Last Hope
In so many years to come, Sebastian would be grateful that Scar caved, again.He could see the struggle in her eyes, and the familiar fire that would have driven her to call off the deal. But for several long seconds, she doesn’t say anything.He takes that as an “in” and drags her away.He is not sure what he would have done if Scar chose Scott. It’s not like he could really keep her away from the lead of her mom’s case. He has investigated for so many years, just so he could give her what she wants when she wants it.Just not Scott.Or any other men.“I didn’t know you were interested in eye candy,” Sebastian squeezes Scar's hand punishingly when he notices that long after they arrived at the small table across the room from Scott, she is still gazing in that direction.Scar frowns at his sting. What’s his problem?? Ever since she enter Ava’s proud event, he has been a bother none stop. Just because he has got something that she’s interested, he thought he could walk over her??“I g
