Sebastian's POV

Adrian Dunn is bad news.

He inherited from his father not on the biggest newspaper in town, but also his cold dark view of the world from

the last century. He believes not in law, but in power, not in just, but in narratives. He hurts people without a

everything he is, and that puts his target on my back.

"What do you say, Seb-babe?" Adrian smirks. As if the bruises on his cheekbone doesn't hurt at all.

Right. | also hate his lousy low-taste nicknames.

"Fuck off, Adrian," Gabriel stands up, using his "intimidating walk on Adrian - pressing his bulky features into his

face.

Adrian is my height, but Gabriel is almost 6.5 feet, bulky no less. | think that's why he got his bully neven

though he doesn't really do the bully shit. Also why Adrian calls him "bear". Adrian is not flinching-

If that | wouldn't enjoy beating the shit out of you, | have got something better planned for your dumb ass you

don't want your father's pathetic business to go down for your stupidity...then sit." Gabriel grunts like an animal,

almost pressing his face into Adrian's. He knows better than to hit Adrian, because that guy CAN and will destroy

the Fuller's business if he wants to.

"Enough!" | push them apart, facing Adrian, "You are here for me, no? Then direct your attacks at me."

"Still the sold narcissist, Sebastian," Adrian snorts coldly, his smile vicious with anger hiding in there, "in

case you might not notice, you are not the center of the world."

* draining my patience. We believe in different things, but | have always thought it was out of petty petitive

urges. What's with his powder keg style today?

Because of our fight earlier? He keeps a secret intimate relationship with MY wife, and he is the one getting

angry??? Did | miss something here?

"You wanted to come, IN MY PLACE, you even had the tto have a fight with me," Adrian presses closer,

looking into my eyes seriously all of a sudden, "So? Did you figure out what code red is yet?" He really pisses me

that this guy is painting is any less annoying! "Whatever you are indicating, it's not true. Scar won't cheat."

Adrian cocks his eyebrows so high they almost disappear into his hair.

"Seriously?" Adrian Dunn lets out a sneer, "You are pathetic if you think that's my indication. If | wanted to

What now?

"You really are fucking blind with the center of your little world being your arrogant ass!" Adrian rants with a

hysterical tone, "There is one thing I will never understand, it's why Scarlett would ever fall in love with a

hypocritic blind moron like YOU." Am | hearing what | think I'm hearing?

"You like Scar," | state, ignoring his provoking.

"No, | don't LIKE her," Adrain lets out a cold snort, shaking his head slowly, "I, love, her. | love her enough to

just under the heat of an argument.

To Scar, we are good as divorced.

Is that why she contacted him today? To notice her backup that she's available now? After all, she said "ex

Mrs Knight", to Adrian of all people.

For the first time, the concept of "Scar is looking for a real divorce" hits me. Hard.

"You don't get to know now, even if you beg." Adrian spins his phone between his fingers with a smirk, ! out the
