She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

Sebastian's POV

"Sebastian!" Ava stomps her feet when I carry Scar off the wagon, "How could you...?!"

"He was like this when he married me, too," Scar smiles sweetly at Ava like the sweet sister we used to want her to be, "Don't worry. What you feel right now? It's how it supposed to feel like, being his wife." Scar's words are like knives, piercing through Ava before they land on my heart.

I know Scar is using me, and I don't mind. But when I feel her body stiff because of the physical contact with me, it still stings badly.

I wouldn't want to force her with a hug, but I'm not going to say no when she offers.

"You are my sister!" Ava looks around, gathering people's attention to play her angelic sister's role, "I thought prison would change you into a better person, but I guess I was wrong..."

Her sorrowful tone is so genuine that anger soon crawls onto the people's faces around us.

"No pictures!" I raise my hand at the guy who points his phone almost onto Scar's face.

But Scar grins brightly at his camera, giving that guy a pause. She waves his shot to follow her as she jumps off me and goes to take Ava's hand.

"I know I was!" Scar nods exaggeratedly with a big smile, as if she can't see the judging looks from the crowd. With a friendly look, she says the most innocent words: "I was just joking with you. What I said was just what you said to me when I married him, don't you remember, sis?"

Ava's eyes instantly dart in my direction, panic in her eyes.

Of course she did.

I never knew because the old Scarlett would never tell. Well, partly because we wouldn't take her words against Ava. I would never see what a poisonous snake I kept by my side for all these years.

How could one hide her true self 24-7? I look at Ava, and I finally understand how Scarlett used to look at her with unbelievable eyes, mixed with despise.

"What a vicious lie..." Ava mumbles as if hurt to the core, staring at Scar with disbelief, "I have never said anything like that! I know you want Sebastian, but slandering my name is not the way to do it. I know you have always loved him, and if it's anything else, I will let you have it. But love can't be forced, and I-"

"Ohh, I'm glad you said that!" Scar raises her phone, ignoring Ava's soulful speech as she wave it naughtily, "I have got a recording of it. Would you like to hear?"

Fear paints Ava's face white.

"What?!" Ava hisses, shaking her head, reluctant to believe Scar, "No...no! How could you have something that never existed?"

"Well, let's hear it then!" Scar giggles

like a kid showing off her toy, clicking on her phone fast as she mumbles to herself out loud, "Sebastian might not have told you this, but the security system at our house, it has CCTV covering all the doors and-"

"But it was in the kitchen!" Ava snaps, only to open her eyes wide when Scar looks up evilly at her, "You-you tricked me!"

Scar hooks Ava's neck with her arm, giving a big smile to the guy who was recording her with Ava's face also in the shot. The guy mumbles sorry and quickly leaves as Ava struggles to get out of her grip. "Hope to see your little movie posted!" Scar waves behind the guy with a bright smile, "I'll subscribe!"

"Scarlett Fuller!" Ava finally snaps, pushing Scar away only to trip herself. But even such a little action of aggression makes the masked man step up, blocking between them like a dark guardian angel. "That's NOT my name," Scar hisses evilly at Ava, her look dark and dangerous.

Ava takes a step back, frightened by her look.

"Seriously, SIS, you need to keep up your game now. I'm not the simple girl who you can bully around anymore Scar puts away her phone lazily, her hands in the pocket of her jeans like a street cat, her smite turns back to the empty, cold one.

She puts her chin on the masked man's shoulder, whispers evilly with a touch of madness in her tone: "If this is the best you can do, then my trip this time would be so...boring." Real tears brim Ava's eyes.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Why-why are you back...?" Ava mumbles, fear shivering her voice as she finally realize her fault. She was still the same old bully, but Scar is no longer an innocent prey now, "You are the one who hurt me!"

"And I paid my price for that, didn't I?" Scar pushes the masked man out of her way, towering her 5.8 feet figure over Ava's tiny one, "And now, you have to pay yours...SIS."

"I don't owe you anything!" Ava snarls, her last shred of ration pulling her to maintain her angelic act in public, "You stole him from me first! I won't let you do that again!" Scar laughs.

"Ohh, him? Him you CAN have," Scar nods in my direction indifferently, "I actually do hope that he can put up a good fight protecting you, because it won't be fun if the game ends too quickly You WILL pay, for everything you owe me, my blood, my

mom... my baby. And if he is still by your side when I'm done with you then...congrats, that would be true love. I doubt if it were, but I'd love to see."

With a cold snort, Scar leaves like a queen with her masked knight by her side, leaving frightened Ava behind in a shiver.
