She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

Scarlett's POV Their wedding.

Ava just did her hair. In a slit dress showing her curve, and a pair of heels high into the cloud, Ava does look astonishing. I guess realizing your dream does that. I was also this glittering when I had my own, the dream wedding that I thought would start my happy ever after. She is happy. I hate that.

She finally got what she wanted. She always, gets what she wants, no matter the price. Because Daddy would pay her bill. She lured me into the woods, stole my white knight and turned him black, lived off my blood, and standing on the dead body of my baby, she finally crawled onto the sacred altar.

Not only is she not paying for it, she even has him as her witness. He is the witness for the murderer of his own child!

How stupid and pathetic was I to think that such a dog of Ava could ever love me?

"I see you are still not in handcuffs though," I sigh, "it doesn't sound like he is doing his job right."

"He will never hurt me!" Ava gloats with a proud smirk, "But it doesn't mean your lawyer friends bugging me like some disgusting flies is pleasant! Tell them to go away or I'll sue!"

My lawyer friends? I guess that's what Lilith has been up to. As if Sebastian would actually sue her. If he was a part of any of her legal process, it's being her dog.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Unlike you, I don't have a leash on people around me," I slip down into my cover, closing my eyes, "Leave, because you are more annoying and disgusting than flies."

"You don't care about Sebastian anymore?" Ava's voice sounds confused, "Nor your friends?"

I don't care about anything anymore. Especially her. I'm only alive because I haven't found the people who murdered my child. Sebastian loved Ava, but he wouldn't lie. If he was with Ava, then it really wasn't her. But I won't believe that it had nothing to do with her. If it wasn't her, then it was her people.

I'll live till the day they catch them. I'll see Ava behind bars with my own eyes before I go and be with my baby. I hadn't even taught him anything before he go back to heaven, but I hoped my mom would recognize him with his purple eyes.

He must have my purple eyes. I just know.

They will be together, and they will wait for me. And we will be happy together, finally.

"Do you care about your own life, then?" Ava says, and a cold edge pressed on my neck.

A knife!

I flinch at its icy touch, sitting up as I open my eyes.

Ava is smirking at me evilly, the fruit knife on my table is now in her hand. I didn't think she would have the guts to kill with her own hands, but her hand is not shaking.

I knew she had a killer in her. I always knew.

"My life?" I snort, suddenly a strong

urge to laugh washing through me, making me shake, "Seriously? After you prisoned me for years, turned the kindest man in the world evil, and murdered my innocent baby, you think I still care about my fucking life? Do it! Kill me and I'll laugh in hell watching you behind bars for taking it!"

She already drained it. So what's the difference? Sebastian might help her get away with the robbery charge, but not this. Not when she walked in here and left with me dead in my own bed! Ava laughs, opening her fingers slowly to drop the knife as she laughs.

Her laugh freezes me.

It WAS her! I could never forget the scary laugh of that woman I heard that night! The low, creepy laugh, frantic as if from the devil himself!

"It WAS you!" I shout at her, my whole world turns red as my lips and limbs shaking.

"I didn't know you had that bastard in your belly at that time," Ava whispers like a snake flicking its tongue, her smile so evil it gives me goosebumps.

Did...did she just admit to it?! Sh-she said it! I look around, but this is the one time that no one is with me!

"They all left you! No one loves you,

and no one cares about you," The evil snake keeps flicking her tongue "but I called over your white knight, and he will be here soon. You telling on me. Who do you think he would choose?"

try

He would choose her. He would protect her no matter what.

"Even if I tell him that it WAS me, he would never put me in jail," The snake hisses, her laughter twirling in front of me suddenly turnning into a panic look, "Scarlett, what are you doing--ahhh!"

Her scream brings me back. I look down, not knowing when my hand turned red --

From her blood.

"Scar!"

Sebastian shouts as Ava slides down to the floor, the winning smirk on her lips turns into a wronged look when she looks up at him. Her hand presses on her belly, where blood is oozing out.

I remain standing, and in my shaking, blood-stained, slippery hands, is the fruit knife she dropped on my bed. I don't even remember when I took it.

"She cut me!" Ava bursts into a loud shout, penetrating the whole building, "She's crazy! I came to make peace and she cut me!"

It's the first time I see Sebastian after that night, and it's also the first time, I see desperation in his eyes.
