It just hurts more than | expected.

Closing my eyes, | try to chase Sebastian out of my head. | just need something, anything, to take up the hole

Jack Fuller's mean face when he mentioned that npops into my mind, like he was throwing a bone to a

pitiful dog.

Anger burns in my chest, and magically, the pain dulls at that.

| can't believe Jack Fuller thought about it before | did. He thought he could threaten/lurewith my dream - the

first script | ever wrote. He didn't evaluate its weight on my heart right only because | have long given up that

dream for my marriage. | shouldn't have done that.

Though he didn't think | could make it. He never had faith in me, and that's why he didn't helpwhen brought

that to him, and that's why he never mentioned it again until he desperately needed something to bindhere.

He thinks he can buy my freedom with MY dream, so why not start there? Prove him wrong by making it on my

own!

And | know just the person.

But Mom didn't call either, nor did she reach out in any way.

The one new message belongs to Sebastian:

Just two words. From three days ago. If | didn't have Aurora to turn to, but just died in scorner that no one

knows, he wouldn't even know until the cops findfirst.

| stare at those two words, suddenly having such an urge to laugh-

Either he didn't take the divorce papers seriously, or he doesn't understand what a divorce means.

To do what? To give him love in exchange for his hatred? To flatter him after his day of being Ava's loyal knight?

How could he have sent such a message, after everything?

Even to a pet, you wouldn't be so heartless.

But then again, | wasn't even a pet to him. A pet is something that even though not equal to, one would

appreciate its existence.

| was his enemy, he didn't appreciate my existence except in the short moments when Ava needed me.

the empty room until it turned into a bitter cry.

He never believedwhen | said | loved him. He thought | married him to upset Ava. He used that assumption

as an excuse to ignore everything | did for him in the past five years, in my whole life.
