Scarlett's POV

"For a drink," I'shrug, leaving. | didn't want to talk to him, but getting words out of my body finally gotto get

back in control of my shaken body.

Suddenly Sebastian grips my chin and raises my head in his direction, tilting his head atwith a frown:" You

cut yourself."

"Let go," I push his hand with a frown, but he won't let go.

I would be so happy before, if his attention could land onlike this. But not anymore. | don't like him touching

My hand might have shakened when | pressed the bottle under my jaw. | didn't know it would be so sharp. But he

fixes my head in that position more like to forceto look at him, rather than checking my wound. "Did you

mention my wound to help, or you just want to watchbleed to death?"

Glaring at him, I claw his wrist. He clicks his tongue as he lets go.

Taking a deep breath to calm myself, | restrain myself from rolling my eyes. But again, Sebastian raises an arm

to blockwhen I turn to leave.

Maybe | missed the sun coming out from the west this morning.

| stop and turn to look at him for the first tthis night, ready to give the fight he begs for, only to notice a

small cut on his bottom lip.

"What's your problem?!" | demand.

"What's Code red?" He ignores my temper.

My jaw drops to the floor.

| open my eyes wide, stattering I'm so shocked: "I-I sent that

to you?!"

Sebastian narrows his eyes at me, obviously too displeased to even answer. | frown, pulling out my phone to

check. | didn't send it to him. But | failed to send it to Aurora, too.

| sent it to Adrian Dunn. Just great. | totally forgot that my last sent message today was to him.

Adrian Dunn is Sebastian's nemesis. Not literally, just in business. That's why | contacted him for script.

Sebastian holds half of the entertainment business in his hand. If Sebastian wants to blockfrom making a

nfor myself as a "revenge" for Ava, | won't stand a chance without someone at his

level.

"How did you even know about that?!" | can't fathom the image of Adrian sharing his message with his

sworn enemy.

"I know about the one before your call for help, too," Sebastian grunts sullenly.

| finally understand Sebastian's anger towardtoday

I'm a nobody in the entertainment business, unlike Sebastian and Adrain, two big shots in the city, each

have a hand on the scepter of the movie industry. | don't have Jack Fuller's resources to get Richard Hanson, nor

do I have a rich pursuer to buyresources like how Sebastian got Ava all her awards.

| have only my first script AND the title of Ex-Mrs Knight.

Adrian takes all the chances he gets to give Sebastian a hard tin business. So even for a nobody like me,

coming to him with a piece of big news like "divorcing the King of social media" would definitely get Adrain's

attention.

"In my defense, the news about our divorce would be long out before he could release that with the

movie."

I didn't think it would be a problem for Sebastian. | mean, our divorce is going to hit the front page no matter

what. After all, everyone in the city knows who has the King's heart. According to my calculation, even his

wedding with Ava would beat my movie to it. "Did you get the divorce papers yet?" Sebastian cocks an eyebrow.

"Actually, not yet," | frown, "where did you-"

"That's right," Sebastian cutsoff coldly, "because | haven't sent it yet."

What...? What?!

"Meaning, you are still my wife until | do," Sebastian continues, getting grumpier, "so the next tyou want to

contact my enemy to sell my scandal, think about the consequences before you do." Whatever. HE needs the

divorce papers to marry Ava. I'm not the one who's in desperate need of those

papers.

"Just send it to Aurora when you are done with it," | say as | see Gabriel's stupid eyes open wide like a squeezed

fish, "I won't leak the news until you do, but | can't speak for a stupider mind." Sebastian looks at Gabriel, and «

sees the problem too. The next second, Gabriel excums with utter excitement. "You are finally divorcing her?!"
