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

Scarlett’s POVMy periods were never accurate, but still, I should have known.Nausea, tiredness, change of taste...You’d think it would be obvious, but you never know until afterward how many signs you missed.Just like how I have been missing the signs shouting at me that the man I was married to would never love me back no matter how hard I try.I came to the health screening thinking, what’s the worst that could happen? If it were cancer, I could handle it. But this I couldn’t handle.A baby.The best thing coming at the worst time.I don’t know when I’ll feel that powerful motherly love that I’ve heard about, but I’m sure of HIS reaction. He will hate the baby.It might as well just turn out to be cancer. At least that would make one of us happy.Sitting in the busy lobby of the maternity floor alone, I try to absorb the news. My efforts are in vain. My eyes suddenly water with envy of the happy, loving couples sitting around me. I have a luxury house to live in, a billionaire to

Scarlett’s POVSitting in the taxi to another hospital -- the hospital where SHE is, to see him. I feel sick. Carsick, morning sick, or just...sick of this trip.This is the trip I hate the most, and this is a trip I have been taking for ten years: she is always in the hospital, and he is always around her, even before our marriage.That’s what happens when your crush loves your sister who has Willebrand, combined with a RH- blood type, no less.Yes, the illness where one can’t heal from bleeding, with the blood type that only 0.3% of people have.Even a small cut on a finger could be lethal to her. That’s why she is the spoiled treasure of the whole family, the untouchable, the miracle that gets everything she wants by just existing.Me? Even my existence gets ignored.My parents have only Ava in their eyes. My brother hates me as if I stole my health from Ava.No, I just stole her man.But they hated me even before that. Marrying Sebastian only let their hidden hatred out of the bag

Scarlett’s POV“The bone marrow transplantation was three months ago, silly,” Sebastian’s chuckle follows her request out to the empty hallway.I put my hand on the doorknob, but I can’t seem to find the strength to turn it. I have seen how loving they are together, too many times for too long.As if torturing myself, I just freeze there, listening.“Today is just a regular checkup, and the result has been good every time before this, hmm?” Sebastian comforts.I could see his tender smile in my head as he coaxed the love of his life, his powerful palm patting her on the head like she was the most delicate flower in the world.That warmth and love are something I have had only once from him, and that one time I thought I touched the sun. For that one time of light I saw in my dark life, I threw myself to that sun, betting with everything I had.And just like the sun, he burnt me.No matter how much I loved him, no matter how much I did for him, I won’t ever get anything in return.

Scarlett’s POVI put out the cigarette on the bin when her door opens.Sebastian frowns at me, remaining by the door, half of a hallway from me. He hates me smoking. He would glare at me, scold me, or like this -- standing far away with disgust on his face.It’s a gross habit, but a woman needs SOMETHING to let out the pain in her chest or she will burst. But then again, if his delicate Ava could afford such a habit, he would definitely join her instead.“So?” He puts one hand in his pocket, glaring at me when he finally walks over. He does that when he is impatient. As in, all the time with me.I gaze at his face, handsome and dominant, just like the day he found me in that forest. But at that time those eyes were clear like crystal, with sparkles like the Milky Way. Right now it’s pure darkness of hatred.He snaps his finger to get my attention.“Sorry...” I dart my eyes to the ground, pulling the divorce papers out. He reaches over, and in panic, I dodge.Instantly, disgust fills h

Scarlett’s POVAurora still took me to the airport. But she wouldn’t give me my ticket.Stuffed a cup of hot cocoa in my hands, she glares at me across McDonald’s tiny table like a fierce mom judging her truant kid.“I JUST found out today--” I start timidly and instantly she retorts--“Yeah, you said that!”It’s not like I planned any of this. I drop my eyes to my cocoa, can’t look at her. She’s mad, and I know why.She’s from a rich family. Beautiful, popular, two-meter-long legs, etc. But she wasn’t born rich. She watched her single mom work her ass off raising her, hating her irresponsible father her whole life, only to find out that he didn’t leave them, like what her mom told her. Her mom brought forward the breakup.She is seeing me doing exactly the same thing.“I won’t teach the baby to hate him...” I mumble, not dare look at the anger on her face. I know how much she has been through.“That’s not all!” Aurora shoots me a death stare, firing like a machine gun, “My mom lied t

Scarlett's POV“What was that?” Aurora blinks. My one-sentence phone call amazes her.I grip my phone, for the second time today, struggling with my plan. I just want to stop being hurt. Is it too much to ask? I close my eyes. A part of me wants to just grab the ticket and leave, letting the world burn behind me.But I can’t. If mom needs a blood transfusion, I need to be there. That’s what I’m in this family for. Their blood vessel.Please, lord, please tell me this phone call has nothing to do with my message to Sebastian.Between Mom really is injured, and Sebastian selling me out... I’m not sure which I hope is the situation.“I guess I’m not leaving today after all,” I let out a sigh, mumbling to Aurora, “I’m really sorry but...I need you to take me back.”“That’s great!” Aurora throws herself into me with genuine happiness in her voice, “That was him? What did he say? Is that always how you call each other?”With Mr. Fuller? Yes.My “dad”, never loved me. He had a deep flow of h

“I will divorce him for a price,” Ava adds with a pout, “He owed that marriage to me, and he never lived up to his responsibility as a husband to me.”“The blood we gave him was Scarlett’s to begin with. What did you expect when you forced his hand into a marriage?” Jack Fuller sighs, shaking his head slowly with disappointment in his eyes. He has done shitty things, for his wife and his daughter. He thought he was doing all he could to protect his family, but he never expected his daughter to only learn his dirty trick out of those.“You forced mom and it turned out fine,” Ava shrugs with an indifferent tone.“What did you say to me?!” Jack Fuller raises his hand, and Ava freezes in fearful tears. In the end, his hand didn’t land.Jack Fuller lets a deep, long sigh. He grips his fist to hide the shiver of his hand.Anna was in love with Johnny Vanderbilt when they got married. He has always loved Anna, so when Anna came to him for a proposal out of nowhere, he took it. He took it kno

“This is just going to piss Scarlett off!”Huffing at her father, Ava rolls her eyes as they pass the dim passageway with the bidders. Not like she is willing to give in to Scarlett on the necklace, but publicly selling off the necklace to her is only a declaration of war, something her cautious father would never do. But Jack Fuller seems determined to follow through.The auction allows masks, not that a simple mask could conceal one’s identity, especially at the level of people who can afford to be here. But still, Ava has a mask on. Not only that, she’s also in a sluttier dress with the back cutting all the way to her waist – to throw people off, as she says.But Jack Fuller knows these are just Ava’s ways of acting out. After the fallout with Sebastian. He knows his daughter better than anyone else, and for all the years of her playing the tamed angle for Sebastian, there is bound to be a blowout after she lost all hope of that man.Complying with Ava, Jack Fuller is also under a
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 223 Heritage Auctions
“Do...do you know of the Vanderbilts?” Did you know that you just scolded the heir of one of the most powerful families in the country? This is the true question, the one that Scar dares not to ask.Scar glances in Silco’s direction, a shade of nervousness in her voice that she didn’t even notice herself.They picked up Lilith before calling it a day. Silco played with Alice the whole ride to Lilith’s place. Didn’t want to talk about Damian in front of Lilith or Alice, Scar just remained silent as guilt eats her up.Her deal with Silco is about the Fullers. Silco needs it exactly because he didn’t want a stain on his name, so she doesn’t imagine he would be too happy to get on the wrong side of a Vanderbilt.Silco looks over, his deep eyes lingering before he nods simply: “Yes, I do.”Scar swallows unconsciously.Should she tell him who Damian was? He stood up for her. It would be horrible of her to keep Damian’s identity from him, especially if Damian causes trouble for him because o
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 222 His Little Queen
“Damian Vanderbilt!” Scar exclaims in anger, “I can’t believe this! This is a new low, even for you!”Behind the corner stands the man she called out, on his face are embarrassment, surprise and... a faint shade of anger -- anger at his dear brother-in-law who just threw him under the bus so his dear sister wouldn’t lose it seeing her ex abducting her friend’s daughter.Talking about how messed up your original family can be.“Lilith told you no, right?” Scar folds her arms in front of her chest, glaring at Damian like a pissed cat mama, “Is that why you are hiding out here?!”“Welll… not exactly…” The man rubs his hair with an apologetic smile. Lilith didn’t tell him “no”. She didn’t pick up his million phone calls at all, nor did Scar. “This is purely a coincidence, but I’m so happy to see you, Alice--”Scar narrows her eyes and he quickly apologizes: “I mean, Scarlett—”“It’s Scar, and I’m happier without you, thanks.” Scar snorts coldly, having no intention of continuing the conve
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 221 Papa Vandy
“Who told you to call her Scar mama?” Sebastian asks, watching Scar carefully to not let her see them, but also not lose sight of Scar. He didn’t know Scar was here, nor did he expect Alice to jump off the carousel when she saw him. He noticed that Lilith had taken Alice here, so he came. “She IS Scar mama…” Alice answers in a wronged tone, confused. “Does she know that I’m your papa?” Sebastian asks, knowing the answer — Scar doesn’t. Or she would have put two and two together. He needs to tell her, but he can’t. Not because of Silco. As hard as he tried to look into that man, he couldn’t find anything too odd. The guy seems clean. Adam Smith. That’s the name Sebastian found. So ordinary a name that it’s almost boring. He even found out why he hates the Fullers — Jack Fuller’s precious little company, the one he kept carefully for so many years, he bought it from a “Smith” with the price of one dollar — The kind of deal that always has a bloody story behind it. As much as he
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 220 Scar Mama
“Alice?” Scar blinks, uncertain of her eyes, “Lilith, did you see Alice coming off? She was on the pony in the last turn…” Saying that, Scar is already running towards the spinning carousel, her breath held, and her eyes darting around frantically as panic grabs her. Alice is gone! She was so certain that Alice took the pink pony, which was now empty as it passed Scar innocently, as if Scar remembered it wrong. “Alice!” Scar shouts, turning around as her whole world spins. Did she just lose Alice? How?! Alice was just in front of her! She didn’t even take her eyes off! The fake wooden pony just goes behind the puller for a few seconds, and such a turn loses a whole person?! “Scar, breathe!” Lilith comes to Scar’s side, her voice stern and swift, “Do not move in case Alice comes back. I’ll find her! Scar!” Scar wants to cry. She wants to melt down and shout and burst out and blow up the whole entertainment park! But she can’t lose it, not right now. Lilith’s daughter is missing, an

“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
