Scarlett's POV

"Will you lower your voice?!" Sebastian grunts at the knucklehead.

wouldn't be a problem, but | shouldn't have told Adrian, not before Sebastian made the official announcement.

Going to leave, but | stop and add to him: "Sorry | announced it before you could make it official. But you are on

a clock now. So you might want to give your lawyer shomework for the night."

Adrian his nemesis, and Gabriel the knucklehead? They just might be the worst two people to know a secret

again. So | just pushed it forward on my own terms. It will sink in once it's done.

Sebastian glares at me, not answering. He does that. Whenever | did something that upset him, he would put up

his angry face and makethink until I could figure out what | did wrong myself. | would guess, | would ask, |

would go through things that | had done one by Who was | kidding? He would look atlike that no matter

what.

And I'm tired of that.

"Your call," I shrug off my advice indifferently, turning to leave. And both the men call after me:

"Where are you going?"

I'm not done with you!"

| roll my eyes, having no desire to turn to face the two guys who love Ava the most in this world, especially when

"What now?" | ask as | text Aurora after | checked twice that it was the right chat: [Where are you?!!! Ran into

code red here and | blyou!]

I glance up from my phone when no one answers. Gabriel waits for Sebastian to go first. And Sebastian, as

always, glares atwith a frown.

"What?!" | ask again, getting frustrated, Sebastian rolls his eyes, seemingly more annoyed.

Well, sorry if | sound grumpy but I have got a hole in my neck!

Sebastian clicks his tongue impatiently and looks away, throwing himself onto the sofa hard like a kid throwing a

tantrum. Usually, this is where | go and snuggle him, asking if there is anything | can do better. +25 BONUS

Now | know, there isn't. Unless | can turn into Ava.

"And you?" | nod at Gabriel.

"Um..." Gabrief looks stunned by Sebastian's reaction, and seems to have lost his tongue. Sebastian is a

gentleman, he doesn't usually show any negative emotions in public.

It used to hurt to see my "big brother" bullyfor my own sister when he should be protecting me, too. But that

pain stopped when | started seeing the reality. Now when | look at Gabriel, | don't feel wronged. | just see a bully

that needs to be put in his place. | should have let go of the "family" that was never mine a long tago.

"If you want to continue the topic we were on, | suggest you go and listen to the video you made yourself," | look

Gabriel right in his eyes, "I meant every word, so unless you no longer care about Ava, you better keep a

distance from me."

| should have warned him off a long tago, if it weren't for my stupid illusional dream of "keeping a family".

"Scarlett Fuller!" Not used to my challenge, Gabriel jumps up, pointing an anger-shaken finger at me, "1 dare you

to say that again!"

I'd love to-

"Who are you daring?"

| freeze at the cold words raising behind me. | recognize that voice since the first word.
