122 Ava's Heart
Scarlett's POV
This is a trap! A pure trap is what this is!!!
"What do you know about it?" | pretend to still have things in my control, deciding to trick my way through it.
Sebastian curves his lips as if he sees through me, but he says calmly:"
| know that Jack Fuller took something from your mom that day he brought you back. Does this worth mean
anything to you?"
What?! My jaw drops to the ground, and he smirks, knowing he has won the negotiation.
It does mean something to me. It means the world to me! | thought I lost her years ago, and he is only telling me
now that Jack the devil Fuller has something of hers in his possession?! "What is it and where is it?!" | demand.
Sebastian grins and my heart drops
"A kiss, for this piece. Do we have a deal?"

him and he luredto nthat damn kiss too easily! Jerk! Jerk!!!
| grab the thing closest to my hand and throw it at his head. Well, at the wall next to him. I don't want to go to
prison for assault. Seeing through me, he doesn't even dodge, or even give a flinch as the thing splashes beside
him.
It was another china doll - Pinoccwith a long nose held in the arms of his grandpa.

Oops. | might have crossed a line.
It was the cheapest gift among the million gifts Sebastian got her. It took him like five dollars. We got it on our
trip to Egypt. Yes, we. Ava would go out of her way to fidn reasons to join trips that | took with Sebastian. That
was supposed to be our honeymoon trip - taken place almost a year after the wedding. And Ava tagged along.
We saw the little doll on a street stall - by that | meant a piece of clothes paved on the ground.
Ava loved it.
The guy asked for only five dollars, and she begged Sebastian to get it for her. She never keeps money on her |
mean why would she? But Sebastian had only a card on him, which the guy with his toe sticking out of his broken
shoes rejected. | had money, and she wouldn't use mine. In the end, Sebastian traded
his watch for that doll.
Ava's face literally lit up the moment her Romeo got her that doll. | think | know why she loves it. | think that's
what she wanted from Sebastian, so that doll can only be from Sebastian, because she wanted him to accept her
even when her lie is exposed. She has a fear deeply rooted in her soul from the moment she lied to him, to the
one person she ever loved genuinely.

loves. And that slight pity

"I heard the splash-"
"I'm okay?" Sebastian dashes to the door almost panicking, blocking Avs so she wouldn't see the dead body of
the broken doll, "I told you to leave"
"I'm worried about you!" Ava pouts with her greasy voice, throwing her affs around Sebastian's neck
Sebastian catches her arms before she can hang herself around his neck like how she always does.
"You are a grown up girl now, Ava," Sebastian says calmly, putting her sms down gently, "This is not
appropriate."
Ava holds her hands back to her body timidly, her head low in front of her chest "Sorry. Mommy sentto invite
you to dinner...would you..." Ava peeks up at him carefully, "...stay for dinner with us?"
I walk past the loving birds coldly. Sebastian glances at me, and | hide away my guilty look as shout, looking at
him in the eyes: "Alfred! The room is empty now and you can star cleaning up!" I'm not sorry for breaking her «
