All Chapters of CEO’s Runaway bride: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

The drive back to the city was long and filled with an eerie silence, no one seemed to utter a single word as they were all preoccupied with their own thoughts. Scar was silently sleeping, with her head leaning on Seb's shoulder, occasionally she'd stir in her sleep when seemingly having nightmares. Seb tried his best to call her own when that happened but it was still not that effective. Alas, they eventually arrived at Scar's place, the place was quiet and they could only tell that there were people there by the lights turned on in the house, the streets were dark and only lit by dimly lit street lights that probably needed fixing soon. Lucas walked ahead of them and knocked on the door, inside the house, Nat was on the couch waiting for them to call, text, or anything with news but since they left, they didn't contact her. She was scared for Scar, Lucas, Skye, and Seb, she wondered what happened to them, if they were alright or even alive. She put down the phone for the milliont

Seb instantly let go of her hand the moment she agreed to talk to him, it was all he wanted and needed. "What's wrong Scar? Why are you acting up like this?" His tone was soft and filled with so much hurt. Scar rolled her eyes and scoffed, "What isn't wrong should be the question." she paused for a bit, then spoke up, "Did you think that I wouldn't find out before your whole plan?" Seb was confused, he didn't know what she was referring to, he wanted to ask her what she was talking about but she spoke before he could. "Right, you don't understand, well let me enlighten you." She smiled and that smile was anything but sweet, "Two years ago, your marriage was arranged to me and because I wasn't ready and wanted to pursue my career I ran away humiliating you and ruining your reputation, because of that, you decided to get revenge on me and because of my whacky luck, I started working for you enabling you to get your revenge properly, does that ring a bell?" Seb felt like a bucket of

A few hours passed since the guys left, Nat had died off her tears and decided to check up on Scar after composing herself and washing her face. It was a stressful and tiring day, she just wanted to take a nap or something like that but she had a responsibility to her as her friend, she needed to be there for her and cheer her up. After regaining her energy she went up the stairs toward Scar's room, when she reached the door she knocked on it but there was no answer, she tried knocking again but nothing, that's when she realized that Scar didn't know that the guys had left. She probably thought that Seb was the one trying to talk to get her again or that they were still in the living room. She knocked for a third time, "Scar, open up, it's Nat, if you're worried about the guys they've already left."At first, there was utter silence then Scar spoke up in a muffled voice, "All of them?" knowing how stubborn Seb was, she just had to ask and find out whether he also left or not. "Yes

A week had passed since the incident with Seb and Scar, throughout these days Scar hadn't dared to go outside, she went ready the fear of getting kidnapped was still with her, and throughout Nat was with her. Like a sister, she supported her, she stayed with her, she made her feel better, and cracked some silly jokes, since they couldn't physically go shopping she decided to do it online, they had more slumber parties, and did a whole lot of girly stuff, this made Scar realize how much she meant to Nat. The night before, she finally opened up and the two girls cried their hearts out comforting one another. They ended the night watching TV in the living room and seeing who could eat the most ice cream despite having a brain freeze. Through all that Scar realized a lot of things, one of them being she shouldn't run away from her problems but face them, just because Seb hurt her didn't mean she had to run she needed to stay strong and avoid him after all this was a big city what were

The door opened by itself revealing Seb, he looked as dashing as always with his hair swept to the side, the three top bottoms of his shirt undone and he stood there baffled not expecting her in the slightest. "Scar." Hearing her name come out of his mouth almost melted her to jelly but she stood her ground standing strong. Before she was able to say anything else a woman walked out of the office, Scar almost felt jealous until she saw the woman clearly; She was older than Seb and they both unmistakably resembled, they had the same color of eyes, and the same nose, anyone could tell that this was his mother. Scar quickly cleared the way for her and she stopped right in front of Scar. "Hello, are you here to see Sebbie?" She spoke out, her voice was all warm and motherly, for a second Scar wondered if she was also part of the mafia and sort of imagined her carrying a gun and maltiting people. Realizing that she had been too quiet which could come off as rude she spoke up, "My apol
