She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

Sebastian's POV

"If you are asking for that jerk, don't." Scar says coldly, the sharp, dangerous light back in her eyes, "HE abandoned HER five years ago."

He did? "You... Lilith said so?" I blink in shock.

That man has been a mess ever since his little pet left him. I couldn't imagine him being the one initiating the break-up, but then again, I didn't know what happened to Lilith back then. She just came to me one day, offering to help me hide Alice from Johnny Vanderbilt because she needed to disappear from Damian, and I took her offer.

Doesn't matter. Alice is all that matters.

"I mean... Damian is in the city. If Lilith comes back with-with the kid, they are bound to meet..."

Not just Damian. Scar and Alice. They are bound to meet. And when that happens, I'm bound to lose my angles. Both of them.

I close my eyes.

I knew this day would come the day I lost Scar. Willing or not, I stole Alice from her. I kept the baby she risked her life to have away from her for five, years. For whatever reason, it was my fault. I have been preparing for my sentence. So why am I not ready?

"Scar...I'm going to pick up Lilith at the airport tomorrow, would you like to come?" I take a deep breath, "...please? I-I want to--"Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

I want to be there to say goodbye, at least one last time... if that's how Scar would want it.

"Since when are you so close with Lilith?" Scar shoots over a lazy glare, snorting coldly, "So you can go and tell the jerk that she's back in town? Yeah, I know you have been close with Damian Vanderbilt."

I'm not exactly close with Damian. Let's just say, common enemies bring people together.

I wanted the heads of the Fullers, and so did he.

After Scar and Lilith both left the city, he dived into the investigation of the Fullers after that, all the way to an obsession. I wanted to pin down Jack Fuller, too. But he was burning himself up for it. If it wasn't his bankruptcy that knocked him back into reality, I think he would have lost it.

Johnny Vanderbilt exiled Damian.

All the capital flow cut, all resources frozen, and his home, gone. So when Damian stopped caring about the law firm, it soon went out of business.

"No, that wasn't my plan, but you know that he probably knows about it already," I sigh.

I don't know what happened between him and Lilith, but that man loves Lilith. That much I'm sure.

Scar curves her lips, smirking at me coldly.

"What?"

"Alice is not his," Says Scar indifferently, "Tell him to back off."

Alice.

I shoot my head up, too shocked to answer when that name just popped out of Scar like it was nothing. The light word hit my head like a dumbbell, and before I could even react, my sight was blurry

She knew about Alice! She knows about our daughter! She might have even met her! But how?!

Lilith has been away on a private island this whole time! Sure, she has ways to connect with the outside world, but she never indicated to me in any way that she has been in touch with Scar! I mean, she knew I had been looking for Scar this whole

time!

Did Scar find out about it on her own? Maybe, with the help from her new boyfriend? I don't know anything about that guy, but from the look of it, he is not to be trifled with. "Who exactly is--"

"Princess," The Wagon stops, and the annoying mask is back in my sight when he jumps onto the wagon with the first chance he got, holding out his hand to Scar.

Scar walks past me and reaches out

for his hand, but just at that

moment, Ava squeezes into the

wagon out of the crowd. Scar turns

and warps her arms around my

neck, so close that I can smell the

faint rosy perfume.

"Would you carry me off our wagon, my king?" Scar clamps her legs around my waist, and my hands went behind her waist to support her before my brain could even come around. "Of course," I close my eyes, bury my face in her shoulder as I enjoy my last meal before my death sentence, "...my queen."

For whatever reason, she's back in my arms.
