Sebastian's POV

Scar has been hiding in Aurora's place, | know. | wanted to give her stand space first, though | doubt if

all the tand space in the world could get her to listen to anything | have to say.

Adrian has been throwing nasty comments atrecently, and | thought that was out of his feelings toward Scar

at first, and | ignored him. But the moment Scar appeared at the Fullers, Adrian's spammers almost flushed my

app. That's when | knew- They are up to something, and Scar wanted my attention elsewhere.

| waited at my office, and surely enough not after a full hour Ava barged into my office, tears and all, saying Scar

wanted her out of the family.

| have learned my lesson by taking things at only her words.

She has been accusing Scar of this and that all these years, and | believed her; she said she only mentioned

giving Liam money in exchange for her own life, | did not have any evidence besides her and Liam Ryan's story.

But what happened the other day at the airport was different.

As always, she had perfect reasons to "be mad", to "protect Daddy", and to "say things without thinking" when

she announced Scar's past so innocently in public. And all those could be true.

Until she burst into tears when Scar tore down the divorce papers.

I watched her "scared sob" turn into a twisted wail, and how real the latter is showed how fake the former is.

expression of her real emotions, it's so hard to see her usual actions on genuine anymore.

Do | even know her?

| don't see the innocent girl | saved in her anymore. | don't know if that was an act, or if her whole life was. But

she surely has ca long way from that

| took her hnonetheless.

| needed the excuse to see Scar. | taste that bitter thought as | follow Ava onto the stairs to see my own wife, |

need to use her enemy as an

excuse.

| have cto see how ridiculous and arrogant and dull | have been. | have been thinking about how to

apologize, to talk, to see Scar, with my own eyes, in this new light. But the moment I stop by Ava's bedroom

door- the moment | see Scar, | realize | have underestimated how much | have been missing her.

She looks like a red-haired fairy shining under the sun, her cheeks steaming flushed as she pants. She peeks out

of the window from behind the curtain like a vigilant red fox, the really cute kind.

Seeing Scar in a new light has been such a bittersweet surprise. | can't help but drown to her more and more

every second, only to see how horrible | have been clearer and clearer, and how far away | have pushed her.

"Are you having fun?" | can't help but tease the little red fox when she catches my eye, forgetting all about Ava

hiding by the door and how she broughthere as her help.

The room is a total wrack. Can't believe Scar has such destructive power inside her.

Scar looks startled, but then slowly, she nips a little china doll on Ava's table with two slender fingers, looking at

She drops the doll, and soon a splash sound comes back. She shrugs at me: "Hmm...meh."

| can't help with the laugh escaping me.

I walk in, and instantly Scar gets nervous, narrowing her eyes atas if worried that | might hurt her. | stop. Her

reaction burns me. Part ofregrets hurting her so much and wants to make amends, and part ofjust wants

to grab her and rub the few sour weeks off. But | can't. | can't hurt her any more than | already have.

| approach her slowly, slower than how you reach out for a scared stray cat. | raise my hand, and Scar almost

pastes herself onto the wall due to nervousness. In the end, | land my hand on the wall beside her.

Pulling her into my arms was such an easy move, and now it's the longest distance that | can't seem to dissolve

between us.

"If you are done lashing out," | bend my head to search for her eyes, keeping my voice soft, "then ch«

with me? | miss you, a lot." Scar opens her eyes wide, more shocked than anything else.
