All Chapters of She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Sebastian’s POVI can barely recognize the woman I married in this new Scarlett.I feel like I killed that fierce girl, somehow.I never knew she could be so hard to talk to. Everything I say she has something sour waiting for me. I thought she wasn’t friendly with Ava, I was sourly mistaken. She proved that she could be a thousand times meaner to Ava if she wanted to.And what shocks me the most is, I can’t feel the burning anger that would got me to sign on those papers that I used to feel all the time.“Ava, please, can you go with Alfred today?” I pull my phone out to call Alfred. I don’t have the energy to deal with the both of them altogether today. I do not like it when I was forced into the marriage, and I would hate it if I’m forced out of it also.And Adrian is not helping. He is not the right man for Scar.Maybe it's just men’s ridiculous ego clouding my judgment. But I just don’t want to let him have Scarlett. I hate the idea of him touching her, or any man, to be honest.I

Sebastian’s POVShe doesn’t love me now. Still having a hard time getting used to it, but I can’t deny that anymore.It’s not supposed to be like this, but I feel like I lost something precious. How could you feel bad for losing something you never wanted in the first place? How is that fair?! I didn’t want it, but she forced her love into my hand, and now she is taking it back, still by force. I never had a chance to make a decision in this.Never in my life, have I ever felt what “unreachable desire” is until now.I never knew what I had until it was lost. But it was gone too fast. One second, it was as solid as the ground under my feet, and the next second it was just gone. How could someone shut down their love, so firm and decisive?She didn’t just take care of our house, she built a home for us. When I “go home”, she should be there. With a smile, in a lingerie, cooking. Anything. It was a place where no problem could penetrate, where I could rest and refresh for the next day. Sh

Scarlett’s POVI turn to Adrian Dunn, and instantly Sebastian hastes: “Don’t go with him, please!”“I’m sorry I forced your hand five years ago,” Magically, I find myself able to talk to him with peace now, “But we both know you couldn’t have married Ava back then even if I didn’t. So, call it even? Now that Ava is cured, and Granny has given her the approval, too. You can go ahead and do what you want this time. Just...”I feel bad not telling him the truth, but I don’t want him to know about the mistake now. It would only drag on the tie between us that I no longer want, and it would ruin my only good memory of him.“Just, make sure this time it’s what you want...please.”I suddenly understood what Granny meant when she said she could only save him once. I could only save him once. He tries to marry Ava this time, I won’t be there to “speak up”.If Sebastian was going to say anything at all, he wouldn’t now, not with Adrian Dunn’s presence. He raises the folder slowly, reluctance wri

Scarlett's POVI do not see the “devil” Aurora paints Adrian Dunn as, at all.It was actually a huge pleasure talking to him. When I first reached out to Adrian, all I knew about him was his “throne” of being Sebastian’s nemesis, AND the million complaints on how “mean and petty” he was from Aurora.Apparently she was in a play and he made fun of her make-up. He messed up her hair, and she fell when she tried to get back at him. Of course that made him laugh at her even more, and then he became Aurora’s enemy, and made it on every one of her blacklists.I guess he grew out of the mean boy he was, opposite to Sebastian.But the better he is to me, the more guilty I feel toward Aurora. I came to him because of our common enemy, but he wasn’t.“You and Sebastian were best friends?!” I exclaim, my jaw on the ground. I never knew! Me! The biggest fan of Sebastian throughout these years, and yet I didn’t know! How?!“We had a fall out...some years ago,” Adrian takes a shrug, looking indiffer

Sebastian’s POV“What-what do you mean?” I frown, my heart speeding up before my brain can process the information, “Scar is missing, too?”“Who else is missing?” Aurora reacts fast, “Adrian Dunn is not answering his phone, and he took Scar yesterday--”“I know!”It took me all my manner to not burst into curses. What the fuck did Adiran do this time?! I wouldn’t be surprised if he took Scar back to his place, against her will even! That guy is fucking crazy! The moment I gave Scar the divorce papers and he already made his move?!I didn’t even fucking sign those damn papers!Five years ago he got into a fight with me right before my wedding day, going crazy about something like I shouldn’t go into marriage with a girl I didn’t love. I thought it was about me, but never did I expect that huge fallout was because of his feelings for Scar.I never even knew they knew each other that well.I hang up the phone and dash out, passing Miller on my way out. He drives too slowly. I think Mille
