She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

Scar was already at the Fullers when Sebastian made it.

The last time Sebastian was with her in Jack Fuller's living room was five years ago now, yet he feels like it was only yesterday. It might have something to do with the fact that he barely lived a day since. Just surviving. Sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed elegantly, Scar swings her foot lightly with an indifferent look. She is in a business set: white, tight blouse and straight short skirt. A pair of high heels, of course indicating one thing: She's here for serious business.

Just not the kind Jack Fuller looks forward to. That much is obvious because the owner of the living room sits right across Scar with every line of the muscle on his face stretched tight, as if facing a cannibal monster. He is scared, and he ought to be. Though Scar wouldn't claim it, she's still a Vanderbilt.

Damian has all but thrown everything the Fuller had into fire in the past five years. Ava and her dad did little to improve Z-House's situation, sure. But they weren't the only ones to be blamed for the corruption. The fear in Jack Fuller's eyes is genuine, and it's the fear of that name: Vanderbilt.

If there is one thing Sebastian never seems to understand about Jack Fuller, is how he went and attempted at Scar's life even after he sensed that Damian was onto something.

Unless, he didn't want to, but something forced his hand. Or someone.

Sebastian's eyes land on Ava.

Ava stares at him with sorrow and alert in her eyes, unlike usual. That's so abnormal that even Gabriel notices something and nudges her in the arm: "Told you he would come, didn't I?" Ava's lips wiggle, but in the end failed to form a smile.

Sebastian curves his lips coldly.

After five years she's finally taking a hint of his attitude? Just as well. He's getting tired of getting back at her by letting her feel how Scar felt in those five years when they married.

More like, he never really enjoyed it. Not even a bit. Revenge is not the way for him. It brought him no pleasure, except making him feel like he had sunken to the level of his enemies. He just didn't know what else he could do.

He couldn't visit Alice too much. He couldn't find Scar. He couldn't even get out of the marriage with Ava · no matter how despicable It was for Ava to demand the ring when Jack Fuller used Scar's blood that he exploited from Scar herself he did make a deal with them.

Besides, it made no difference to him whether it was Ava Fuller, or any other woman that he had to marry, so long as it wasn't Scar.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

But now she's back. And along with her, she brought him a dim light of hope for redemption...

...If she lets him.

"When I said I wouldn't start without

everyone here..." Scar spins her phone slowly, her tone taunting, "I didn't mean your heartless husband who didn't care about his own child..."

Sebastian lowers his eyes when Ava opens hers wide like bells.

"...I meant the other heartless member in the family that cares ONLY about her child." Scar finishes, and it lights up Gabriel.

"What the fuck did you just say?!" Thick as Gabriel, he understands Scar's indication. As angry as he is, surprise still takes up most of his mind-

The Scar he knew would never say anything like that about anyone, let alone Anna and Sebastian, the two person she cared about the most.

"Who do you think you are, bitch?!

You can't even get the Vanderbilt to

grant you a last name! You are nothing but a "Ignoring Jack Fuller's warning glare, Gabriel blasts at Scar as Ava pulls on his sleeves only so lightly as if she tried to stop him.

Scar snorts.

"A stupid child whose family doesn't care about," Scar smiles at Gabriel.

"Wise of you!" Gabriel huffs.

"I'm talking about YOU," Scar snorts back.
