“How do you feel?” Adrian breaks the awkward air, taunting Sebastian with a smirk, “Regret dropping fencing now?”Sebastian rolls his eyes at him, lying back down with a low groan.Adrian grins, shooting a glance at Scar before he continues: “Since when were you into the hero type, hmm? The almighty Mr. Knight, into the devil’s nest with his bare hands for the beauty.”Scar looks away.“You did that, too,” Sebastian glares at Adrian.When that psycho took Scar, Adrian sneaked in and saved Scar when her chair was falling off that abandoned building. Sebastian could never forget the wronged tears in Scar’s eyes, and the admiring look when she put her arms around Adrian’s neck.“Yes, I did,” Adrian curves his lips tauntinly, “successfully with a gun. Consider yourself lucky that these bastards didn’t have guns, or you wouldn’t be here by now.”“That...is lucky...” Sebastian frowns with deep thoughts, trying to think under the sedative. His brain is still a mush.Why didn’t they even have

“Wait, Adrian!” Scar chases after Adrian, but Sebastian stops her.“It’s okay, he wouldn’t know,” Sebastian sits up, a hand pressing on his broken ribs to limit its movement, “Three of them is a start. I’m sure the police are working on it.”Scar stares at him with disbelief.“They almost killed us! They almost killed YOU! How could you be so calm about it? You heard Adrian. He said THE three guys, not just three guys. He was under the impression that there were only three of them! The other two got away and they would probably come back for us!”“Brilliant deduction,” The man teases her, adjusting his body into a more comfortable position on his own, slowly settling in, “And you deem them having only five people because...?”Scar is speechless. She can’t know. There would be a whole gang working for Jack Fuller. And the police’s attitude is actually clear: they are not super into it. They didn’t come to the rescue until way later than they were supposed to be, and now they let two pe

After Scar left the room, the two men stared at each other for a long time. In the end, Silco lets out a light laugh to break the silence.“You have got nerves, kid,” He pulls out a chair, leaning his cane onto the bed with the tip of his shining shoes holding it still.“You are not exactly intimidating,” Sebastian retorts.Silco laughs, but his eyes are cold as ice: “Because I didn’t let them beat you to death? I admit, that thought passed my mind. But, I guess old age does soft no matter how hard a soul.”This time even Sebastian cocks his eyebrows to surprise. Did this man just admit to his crime? Right here in the hospital ward?! To him, the victim?! He feels more challenged than angry. Does the man really think he is not able to get him? What gave him that confidence?Sebastian’s eyes land on the cane that’s almost pointing at him. Unless, that’s a gun.“Afraid not,” Silco has been observing Sebastian with great care and a shade of curiosity, “Did you really take me as someone wh

Sebastian doesn’t want to.“I know about her episodes,” He pushes these words out of his clenched teeth. He got in touch with Scar’s medical team back when she was in the facility, but all he knew was, Scar couldn’t handle any strong emotion waves for now.“I know you do,” Silco laughs carelessly, “I was the one who told them to let you in. How else do you think you could get to MY people?”Sebastian frowns because he doesn’t want to look too surprised. The truth is, he IS surprised. He couldn’t get much more information no matter how much he offered, and before today, he thought the medical team was only being loyal to their vows of being doctors.Only now does he realize -- this man has been in control of everything. Reluctantly, Sebastian has to admit his defeat: “Please, tell me what she needs.”Silco lets out a cold snort, making it clear that he is not pleased: “You know what DPD is?”Sebastian nods. He has expected that to be her diagnosis, and he has been looking into it.“And

“And puts him away for two or three years with half of that time paid off with YOUR money?” Silco lets out a cold snort, “Did you get to where you are all by your grandma’s wealth and that empty head of yours?”Sebastian’s ears turn red.“The only reason I would not press charges is if they would provide information on Jack Fuller, and Jack Fuller knows that,” Silco explains impatiently as if facing a silly student, “even if they deny that, Fuller won’t believe it. He is that kind of man.”“You know him personally?!” Sebastian catches that quickly.Silco lets out a cold smirk, but this time with satisfaction in his eyes.“Jack Fuller has some links to the mafia,” Silco continues, ignoring Sebastian’s question, “and I want to dig up his roots this time. Get it, smart kid?”“I’ll play along if you let me in your treatment plan for Scar,” Sebastian negotiates.“Now you care about her? Did you care when you left her for that mistress of yours on her wedding day? Did you care when you enjo

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.

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.

A broken rib.Scar wasn’t sure how long it was for the thugs to rain hits on Sebastian. All she remembers are the swinging bats, the kicks, and the painful groans across the think door that Sebastian tried to suppress. He could barely stand when the police charged into the room, but he didn’t let go of the bat locking her door until the medical care basically had to peel him off before putting him on a stretcher.Bruises and blood all over him, he was barely conscious on the way to the hospital. They counted a few dozen bruises, mostly on his limbs. A deep cut on his left forearm, later to be determined from a nail on a table in the warehouse when he fought the thugs. But other than that, no severe wound, no inside bleedingly, and no damaged organs.A broken rib. That’s the most severe injury he got out of this crazy scheme against her life.“I can’t believe it!” Aurora keeps shouting as Scar told her what happened, “That’s so lucky! I’m so happy that you are alright, Scar! I was scar

“I’m really sorry! I just-I wanted to get to the cars...” Blurting nonsense, Scar sobs as she tries to get words out.“I know, baby, I know,” The man is not stopping, but starts pushing her in the direction of that closest, “and you did great! You will be safe, don’t worry!”Scar knows he is just comforting her. She obviously worsened the situation. If Sebastian managed to do anything before this, she has ruined it by now.“I’m sorry--” Scar couldn’t find anything to say. Only that word can find its way out of her.“Hey, hey, hey, you are okay? I’m not mad at you. If the police can’t come in time, the cars would be our best shot!” Sebastian cups her face, bending low to search for her eyes. He gazes into her eyes, making her sees into his eyes, where there is only clean warmth and genuine care, “You did great and you almost made it. I’m just glad that you are not hurt. Get in there.”“Here?” Scar backs into the in-wall closet, “We are hiding here again? We can’t, they are right behind
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 258 Getting Caught
The yard is empty and quiet.From what it looks like, the whole area is not just abandoned, but even off the power grid. Twilight brushes a bloody orange on the edge of the sky, and instantly the buildings turn dark with no light anywhere.Like a monster on its stomach, mouth open for prey.She tries to look for an emergency phone, which might still be on, but if Sebastian already tried to call the police, then that wouldn’t help anyone. She can try to sneak out of the area and look for help once she makes it. But at the moment...She has no one except Silco to turn to, and she is not even sure if that’s not delivering herself back into the mouth of the monster.Or, she can try to get out Sebastian and Authur on her own. The hardest, and the most unlikely. There is no car in the yard, but they couldn’t have come here on foot. Their cars must be somewhere, and if she could start any of them...She barely remembers how to start a car without a key from the one-time search online. She’s
She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked 257 Whose's Trap
Scar dodges out of the way in the last second.She doesn’t know how she pulled her shocked stiff body to finish that move, but if she didn’t, the guy would be looking eye to eye with her through the crack between the two doors by now.She lost the outburst of courage she got burning her fury. All left is her pumping heart with such loud a beat in her chest that she feels like even the guy outside the door could hear. She can’t believe she almost just barged out to have a fight with a rapist when she has no weapon in her hand.But their plan is heading in the worst direction:Four guys are on Sebastian, and her life is still very much in danger. There is no way she could escape, or take down this tattooed thug with a bat in his hand.What now? No one can save her this time.The guy sticks the bat into the door, pushing them open slightly. Scar holds her breath, backing into the wall, but that’s only inches from the door anyway. Scar grips her fists, weighing between throwing a weak pun
