She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 226 Frozen Night
226“They are not coming!” Ava hisses at Jack Fuller, darting her eyes around in haste, couldn’t keep calm for more than 3 seconds at a time.She can’t wait to get rid of Scarlett permanently from her life. She didn’t know Scarlett was pregnant when she tripped her downstairs, but it didn’t mean she wasn’t happy about the outcome. She got Scar into prison; she got Z-House, a money printing machine; she got the title of Mrs. Knight. Though she and Sebastian wasn’t quite like before, but that now seems a much simpler problem compared to Scarlett the psycho coming after her.Ever since Scar showed up on the homecoming party, Ava hasn’t been sleeping well for a single day. She knew Scar wouldn’t let it go easily this time, and she knew her old army -- her Mom, her Dad, her Sebastian -- didn’t have power over the Scar now. Even her pure bully of a brother is hiding somewhere that no one knows after Scar raised a fuss at home.She can’t wait for Scar to be contained, and that, Johnny Vander

“The gentleman on the second floor”.Sebastian’s plate doesn’t even have a number, but just one letter – Z.It’s unlikely that he could see and spot Ava from that huge window on the second floor, but Ava feels like Sebastian glanced at her coldly when he raised his plate just now.Wronged tears fill Ava’s eyes.She should have been up there. She was supposed to be the queen of the Knights, and she got her title fair and square. But now that man put all his sweet words and promises behind his head, and looks at her with only coldness.[Sebastian, No.86 is me,] Ava types in her phone, but hesitates when her finger hovers over “send”.One word after another, Ava deletes the message, and sends [Sebastian, I’m at an auction today] instead.No reply.Holding the phone, Ava looks up at Sebastian. The man sits there with a straight face, his eye never even dart to the table where his phone blinks.Biting her lips, Ava holds her phone to her ear after dialing Sebastian's number. Anger rushing

Sebastian calls again.Scar doesn’t even raise her eyes in either direction of the two men calling the price up for that little ring. She leans right with her elbow on the arm of the chair like a lazy cat, her icy purple pupils indifferent, giving off a deadly queen aura. But few can see the slight curve of her lips—She knew Sebastian wanted the ring, badly.She came for her mom’s necklace, but at arriving she knew Sebastian would come – HIS ring is on the list.She knew of that ring for a while now. Well, she has known the existence of that ring for her whole life. Like any teenage girl, she wanted to know everything about her crush, and she found out about the ring when it was still a picture in his notebook. She knew he was designing a ring, she watched that ring come to life, kept by him in a velvet little box, and she knew who it was for—Ava Fuller.The ring was the cleanest corner of the heart of a boy with the first, pure, luring taste of love.Scar was always jealous of that

Sure there are much more expensive rings, but not this one.Sure, it’s the heart of the almighty Sebastian Knight, but he was only a teenager himself when he designed the ring. He had limited resources – well, limited as a Knight. Still. The designer is a family friend, and the stone, while rare, is only worth his pocket money at that time. The most valuable about the ring, is the emotion he stores in it.Scar is upset at Sebastian’s tactful strategy – to follow her price only with 10,000$ at a time, and then suddenly doubles it. Anyone, even Silco himself if he was here today, would hesitate at least for a second.Giving Sebastian a death stare, Scar doesn’t raise her plate. Fine! He wants his damn ring so much? He can have it! It’s not like she’s here for that stupid ring anyway.Sebastian is looking in her direction. Gloating? Scar is determined not to look over, but then he opens his mic and clears his throat as if he wants to talk. Uncontrollably, Scar looks over, only to see his

Sebastian calls again. Not utter anything like Scar, he just simply raises his plate every time Ava does.Up on the second floor, the man just raises his plate whenever the host calls out the new price, as if the plate is remote, and he is changing the channel just to kill time. Down there, Ava is squirming on her seat as if there are thorns coming out of the cushion. Every time Sebastian raises she would turn and look at him, huffing so hard that her chest is heaving like waves as if it’s visible for the man thirty feet away.It's not. Or, the man chooses not to see.Then Ava would dart her head between the host announcing the end of apparently her life and the man she loved with all her life, fighting for the plate with her father during the little pauses until she bites the bullet and raises again, only to turn more desperate when the man crashes her hope time after time.Watching the farce, Scar feels like Ava’s tears fuels on the darkness in her soul, and right now as it burns, f

“The first thing you need to learn, princess, is that you are always paying for what you buy, not what they are selling.” Silco holds out a hand, leading Scar to the chair in front of the window, sitting her down like the queen he wants her to be as he nods at the stage, “Is a stone embedded on a piece of metal worth 3 million?”Scar looks up at him, blinking in confusion: “...no?”Silco smiles, not denying nor approving: “To a family who struggles to stay above water, definitely not. They wouldn’t even blink before they choose the money over that little ring, but, for people with emotional attachment to the ring with money to spare, say...Ava Fuller?”“Then she’s paying for the ring from her love one, instead of a stone on a piece of metal,” Scar nods, understanding Silco’s logic as she follows his lead.Silco gives her an encouraging smile and a gentle pat on her head: “That’s my girl.”It’s really stupid, but his praise spreads a warm wave through her. It’s how she felt -- wanted t

She didn’t care to know because before she only wanted his money and power for revenge, and she thought he wanted the same: no strings attached, just a face in public to take the heat. But that’s not exactly what Silco has been cashing out in this deal. He arranges her life to the most comfortable and safe; he provides her with information she lacks; and he attends to her needs to the details.Like today. She wasn’t even exactly in need of help, but he appeared out of nowhere and lifted the chip she carried over her shoulder, teaching her to enjoy her revenge, and leading her forward.He is like a good friend. A mentor. A...father that she never had.“You will know, princess,” Silco stands up, sorting out his suit, “After the dust settles down if you still want to know, then you will.”Knowing he is just hiding his identity with the lousiest excuse, Scar doesn’t hate it even a little bit. He knows how to soothe her, soothe the beast born and chained in her chest during her dark years.

Scar was a bit surprised that that man came today. He ever bothered to come to the Fullers to claim the necklace when he could have gotten it back. He acted as if the headlines about Scar five years ago never even existed. So Scar wouldn’t expect him to protect the necklace even if he could.Maybe he wanted that necklace to fall into the pocket of Anna Fuller, through legal methods. Maybe that’s what this day is about -- him giving his mistress a luxuriously expensive gift.Scar couldn’t exclude that possibility.So what happens then?If Johnny Vanderbilt were to help the Fullers raise the price, Scar would be either paying a sky-high bill to the Fullers just to get what was hers in the first place, or watching Anna Fuller get both the necklace AND a huge allowance from her loyal lover.She wants neither!Now Scar understood Silco’s budget: two billion, exactly the liquidity Sebastian has. But Silco didn’t consider Johnny Vanderbilt!He has no grudge against the Vanderbilts. Sure, he

What?!All happened too fast and Scar is not even coming around. Her body is moving before her mind catches up. Her legs could barely keep up with his pace. All she knows is, that Sebastian is holding her hands tight in his palm, his palm warm and firm.“Careful!” Sebastian kicks open the back door of the warehouse, blocking the rebound of the door as he shouts at Scar, “This way!”They turn left right after they dash out of the door even though the door is open to a huge yard.Why? They might have guns? Scar finds it funny that her brain is full of a bunch of useless nonsense, but it can’t process what’s going on or what to do next when she tries.“Do you think you can climb over the wall if I get you on my shoulder? Scar?!”It’s only when Sebastian’s shout pulls her flowing mind back that she realizes he already led her down to the wall of the yard. She can’t. The wall is over four meters. Even a ninja couldn’t climb over a smooth concete wall like this.“I can’t! I’m sorry!” Scar b

“What are you doing here?!” Scar blurts.She was expecting Silco to come to save her. Maybe even Damian. They are the only two who know her whereabouts. Never did she expect her cold Ex who had all his heart on Ava would come to her rescue when she literally just slapped him and announced her death sentence on that girl he cared about enough to challenge the law.Maybe he was telling the truth?“Who the fuck are you?!” The driver demands at Sebastian, visibly more panicking than before.Looks like he is new to this business.“Hey, calm down,” Scar has to remind him when his hand is shaking, “You don’t want to carry a life on your head, do you?”“Ohh, sorry!” The driver blurts.Scar: “...”Is he really an outlaw Jack Fuller hired to rob her?! Did he just apologize to her for putting a knife on her neck?The driver doesn’t answer. Scar turns to his side slightly, just enough to glance at the earbuds he is wearing. He is getting orders from his boss!“Don’t move!” The driver snaps at Sca

It’s the car that followed Scar out of the auction house.She should have known. But too distracted, she didn’t notice that they tailed us earlier. It wasn’t a misunderstanding. They WERE following her and they ARE after something.The files!“Off, the car!” The driver came off our side and is now outside Scar’s door. His barrel pointed right at her head.“Author? Author, are you okay?” Scar opens her door slowly, taking the chance to ask for her loyal driver.Authur blacked out on his seat.“Off, now!” The guy demands again, knocking on her window in haste.“Jack Fuller sent you, didn’t he?” Scar comes out of the car, putting on a calm mask, “However much he is giving you, I can double the price.”“I don’t know what you are talking about,” The guy replies impatiently, “All I know is, you have to come with me.”“I--” Scar wants to give it another shot, and the gun almost sticks into her mouth. She purses her lips, and the guy indicates a direction with his gun, pushing her forward.An

Long after Scar stormed out of Sebastian’s company, her hands are still shaking. It takes three of Authur for her to snap out of it to hear his question.“Where are we heading now, Miss?” Authur is patient just as the first time he asked her.“Sorry!” Scar takes a deep breath, combing her hair with her fingers to calm herself, “Let me…give me a minute.”She’s two hours early for her dinner plan with Damian. Either going back to Silco, or sitting by herself for another two hours. But Scar wants to do neither.She can’t help letting Sebastian’s words get to her.If it was before, she would never doubt his word even when he treated her as his enemy. That man doesn’t lie. But now? She’s not sure. He let Ava get to her not once, but twice. Honesty is not the only thing that matters in this game.She’s not even sure if his feelings have changed about lying. After all, it was Ava. Scar won’t be surprised no matter what that man does for her.Could it be true though?She didn’t see that woman
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 250 The Gloves Are Off
The fateful night five years ago, Sebastian almost lost the two people he cared about the most. His wife, and his unborn baby that he didn’t even know existed. He spent all the time he could spare after taking care of the baby and Scar on tracking the person who broke in, and he knew as much as the police if not more. That’s why the policeman didn’t arrest Ava --It wasn’t her.Ava didn’t cut her wrist when she was taken to the hospital. She did sneak out of her room and back in through her window. All of that was true. Scar accused Ava of being in the house, and provided detailed evidence about when she heard noises in the house and what happened after that, and the police did look in that direction. It was actually easy to find out how that person broke into the house without triggering the security system--Ava’s fingerprint was used as the last guest, exactly at the time when the break-in happened.But it was exactly Scar’s testimony that proved Ava’s innocence--Ava was captured

“I told you, I’m not after your money nor your company,” Scar says calmly, dropping the card on the table.“Then what are you after? Why are you here with a card to help me from going bankrupt?” Letting the card bouncing off the table, Sebastian grabs her wrist instead before she could pull back. He leans in so close that she could smell his cologne, his head bent lower to nail her eyes as his whisper stiffens her body: “...why do you care at all…Mrs…Knight?”“I’m not--!” Scar tries to swing his hand off, only to stop in the middle of her outburst, glaring at him like a puffed balloonfish.Sebastian curves his lips.“You are not Mrs. Knight? I know.”Scar won’t answer.“You hate me, don’t you?” Sebastian announces. The pain in his voice hidden well. “You hate me so much that you don’t want anything to do with me, even if I’m handing you my everything. Why won’t you say it out loud?”Scar lowers her eyelids to prevent the man from seeing through her, but he continues--“The Scar I knew

Prepared for this question, Scar answers unnecessarily fast: “I couldn’t risk anyone helping Ava to get MY Mom’s necklace. That’s why.”Her answer dims the pleasant light in Sebastian’s eyes.“I know…” Sebastian nods slowly, hiding the disappointment in his eyes, “But you didn’t have to come help because of that, did you?”Scar snorts coldly: “I’m doing this for Granny, not you.”“Granny kicked me out of the company for what happened five years ago,” Sebastian lets out a light laugh, “I’m pretty sure she would be the last one who would want you to help me right now.”Scar raises her eyebrows. She didn’t think Granny would be so cruel to Sebastian, but then again, there weren’t too many who could rip Sebastian’s title easily.“What did you tell her?” Scar frowns.Scar blamed Sebastian only because he trusted the wrong person. Legally, or any other aspect speaking, he wasn’t the killer five years ago. He just protected the killer was all. But Ava was never convicted, and Scar didn’t thi

“You want to meet early?” Scar glances at her phone to make sure the caller is indeed Damian, “Sure thing, but how early can dinner be?”She’s a bit surprised that Damian would move their dinner plan forward, but considering how he has been making effort to build a connection, she persuaded herself.“Authur, could you--?”“Yes, Miss Green,” Authur answers swiftly, “After you deliver the card, I will drive you right over.”Scar: “…”This time she’s really not trying to dodge that bullet! Didn’t he hear that it was Damian Vanderbilt who--… Whatever.Standing in front of Sebastian’s new building, Scar is still grumbling Silco’s name, along with his evil loyal driver, Author. Sebastian’s new building is not the same as before – the modern design of Z-house as its own symbol. This time it’s just a normal building, low-key to the extreme, considering its owner’s usual luxurious style.A sour wave washes Scar’s heart.Kind and gentle, Sebastian was never low-key. He was the shining prince of

“Why do I have to do it myself?!” Scar huffs, glaring at Silco.Sitting on the sofa casually with his legs crossed, Silco glances at Scar from above the papers he’s reading, amused. A moment ago the girl was crying in his arms, and now she’s like a kitten with her tail stomped on.“I can send Arthur over!” Scar pouts.“If you can command him,” Silco answers almost gently, but the laughter in his voice is not hidden at all.Scar rolls her eyes.“I’ll just--I--” Scar blurts, fidgeting around, “You already gave up on Sebastian’s company, so why are you making the one last step so hard for me?!”“Sorry, I didn’t think delivering a card to a fancy office building with a driver at your service all the time would be a horrifying chore,” Silco answers, still with that annoying smile.“You KNOW that’s not what I’m talking about!” Scar snaps angrily. If she had been grateful to this man with her full heart a moment ago, she is now annoyed 120%, “You can send anyone but me!”“I’m spending two bi
