She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked by Nyx Rai

224 Divorce "This is just going to piss Scarlett off!" Huffing at her father, Ava rolls her eyes as they pass the dim passageway with the bidders. Not like she is willing to give in to Scarlett on the necklace, but publicly selling off the necklace to her is only a declaration of war, something her cautious father would never do. But Jack Fuller seems determined to follow through.

The auction allows masks, not that a simple mask could conceal one's identity, especially at the level of people who can afford to be here. But still, Ava has a mask on. Not only that, she's also in a sluttier dress with the back cutting all the way to her waist - to throw people off, as she says.

But Jack Fuller knows these are just Ava's ways of acting out. After the fallout with Sebastian. He knows his daughter better than anyone else, and for all the years of her playing the tamed angle for Sebastian, there is bound to be a blowout after she lost all hope of that man.

Complying with Ava, Jack Fuller is also under a mask. Unlike his daughter's high-key feathery coquettish one, his is a simple black mask that covers half of his face.

"If that's your worry, then you would have stayed in the hospital ward five years ago," Jack Fuller says in an indifferent tone, but the coldness in his voice makes Ava turn around for a startled peek at her father.

It's her dark secret between father and daughter. Even Anna doesn't know.

Her father pieced everything together even before Sebastian could. Although still too late. All he could do back then was to follow through with her plan and cover up for her. Sure, he saved her ass, but he never ceased to make it clear that her secret is a sharp sword he is willing to hang over her head to control her.

Is that salvation? Ava feels like she has just been in a different form of prison in the past five years, the sas Scar. Maybe Sebastian failed to put her in jail, but Jack Fuller surely did.

"I'm behaving, aren't I?" Ava hides her complaint in a tamed tone, letting no huffs out, "All I'm trying to do is avoid that psycho. She's the one who won't leave us in peace!" "She lost her child, Ava. Can you blher?" Jack Fuller says sternly.

From the moment he knew that the baby died, he knew Scar wouldn't let it go easily this time. Sure, they never loved Scar before, but he knew Scar well enough to know that no matter how mean they were to her, she wouldn't initiate harm on any of them just because she was denied something she wanted. That's Scar.

But a child is a feud that even Scar wouldn't let go. She could tolerate Ava stealing a man, but not her baby.

"I told you I didn't fucking know about the baby!" Ava snaps in a crying tone, "She should have told us but she didn't! She kept that bastard a secret and she lost it on her own. That blood is as much on her hand as is mine! She didn't even love Sebastian anymore, and all I wanted to do was to warn her off him! If she had just let him go, none of this would have happened!" "What's done is done," Jack Fuller sighs, as frustrated and powerless on this as Ava, "What's important right now is what you want to do with Sebastian." "What about him?! She put a spell on him, that's what about him!" Ava can't help huffing when that nstomps on her nerves. Why would he fall in love with that annoying psycho who he hated just because he was forced to marry her, but won't do the sfor her?! He said he would protect her for life and that was a fucking lie! "A spell you can't lift," Jack Fuller pulls his hysterical daughter deeper into the corner, keeping his voice low, "All I need to know is, are you ready to let him go?" I'm freaking done with him! Ava wants to shout that, but she can't seem to push those words out of her mouth. She invested years of her life in that man. She married him for five years, for God's sake! She gave up att her high-quality pursuers for him, and he treated her like trash that he could just throw out in a blink. She has sacrificed too much on him and backing out would make all that a total waste.

"Divorce Sebastian Knight. That's your best option," Jack Fuller's eagle eyes glancing around as he whispers to Ava, "If you can do that, then maybe we can get back to our lives. She hates him as much as she hates you for the baby. The Vanderbilt kid failed to dig up the past, so if we can divert her attention to Sebastian, then we are safe. You don't need her blood anymore, and you can any man you want." ΟΛΟ

Any but that one man who is better than the rest of them added together. Ava pouts, unable to say yes. Ava wants Sebastian Knight, the young, handsbillionaire who dominates in any room.

She has wanted him ever since she was a little girl, and he made it too easy for her to claim him, so she has. always seen him as hers. But ever since she saw the sparkle of love in Sebastian's eyes. fox Scarlett, she wanted him even more. He has the kind of soulful gazes that would' make any woman jealous when he allows room in his eyes, his mind and his soul for only that one special woman. She blackmailed him with Scarlett's life for ten years of his work, and he agreed without a blink before he went and started another business just as successful. That man is just so much better than all the rest. She wants a man who would throw away the work of his life for her without a blink, too.

Sebastian might have spoiled her like a princess before, but he never gave her that kind of unconditional love.

She had to behave like the innocent like little girl he saw her as, she has to sacrifice so much, to lie and to steal, just to keep him around. Scarlett didn't have to do any of those. She had a temper, but Sebastian tolerated that; she had her claws, and Sebastian just allowed those claws to scar him; she left him, and that only made him want her more. Maybe that's what it is. Maybe she needs to leave him for Sebastian to realize what he missed.

"Fine, I'll divorce him," Ava promises Jack Fuller reluctantly.
