She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

083 Sebastian's Warning

Scarlett's POV

Seeing the "poor love birds" trying their best to protect each

her against

me, the evil dragon, makes me want to laugh at my old self for being ridiculously stupid.

She stole my identity to friend MY hero, acting her whole life as someone else to stay his friend, using him to harm me in every way she could, all the way to the point she wanted me dead. He let her.

And I'm the bad guy in this story?

"Which part exactly, did he mean well?" I'm so mad I have to squeeze words out of my clenched teeth. I glare at the vicious snake under the lamb's clothes, having a hard time comprehending how one can be spoiled into so evil a soul, "Let's say that I made a deal with him to get him into our marriage, did you not gain from that deal? He got to protect you, the apple of his eye, and you get to fucking live! And has never honored his end of the deal, not even for a day! Did he mean well with that? When you even consider how that would make me look, when I was the one taking the vow in front of everyone as his wife? Did he mean well with that?! And now because of that, you were kidnapped and scared and hurt, and instead of an apology, you dragged me into this shit, knowing that would cost me my life, and you claim to be a victim and hope that would be the end of it? Was I wrong to expect an apology from you? And he-

"You are so righteous, all the fucking-" Ava holds on to Sebastian's arm, fighting with her chest up like a brave little bird.

I hate that.

I raise my hand and slap her across the face, thinking Sebastian would have stopped me anyway.

He didn't.

Ava and I are both shocked, but I snap out of it first: "I'm still talking!

"I see how ridiculous my love for him was, so let's drop that. Even just for the deal you made with me, neither of you had the right to do what you did to me. And you certainly don't have the right to come and put on the bullied-true- love act in front of me! Do you understand now?!"

Ava covers her face with her palm, her mouth open in shock as her eyes dart between me and Sebastian. I can't tell if she was more shocked by my

outburst or Sebastian's omission.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"How dare you?!"

I looked up, and Jack Fuller's angry face was inches close, his hand raised high in the air. I close my eyes shut and turn around, raising my arm to protect myself, only to bump into Adrian's chest.

But Jack Fuller's hand doesn't land.

I peek out from Adrian's arms, and to my surprise, it was Sebastian who caught Jack Fuller's hand, not Adrian. "Daddy!" Ava throws herself into Jack Fuller, and he holds her tight, patting her on the back to soothe her.

"Step away, Sebastian!" Jack Fuller's warth is still burning.

"I have warned you once, Jack, and this is the last time I'm going to warn you on this," Sebastian stands between me and Jack Fuller, using a cold tone I have never heard of him using toward the Fullers, "you don't raise your hand at her."

"She hit Ava! Did you not see?!" I slapped Ava, and Sebastian made him lose face in public. All added together, Jack Fuller lost it, "She is my fucking daughter and I have all the right to discipline her!"

"And she is my wife," Sebastian's voice is not loud, but dominant, silencing Jack Fuller quite effectively.

Ever since I stopped wanting that title from him, he seems more than eager to give it. It's not sweet. Just bitter.

"She-" Jack Fuller glares at Sebastian, but Sebastian is not flinching. The Fuller's wealth is nothing compared to the Knight. Jack Fuller was only able to hold his chest up in front of Sebastian because Sebastian let him, for Ava's sake. Soon realizing this, Jack Fuller softens Like hell I will

I hug myself, waiting for Sebastian to turn and make the request. He wants an apology? He can get it with his genuine signature on those damn papers. I will get rid of them this time, once and for all!
