Scarlett's POV

| put out the cigarette on the bin when her door opens.

Sebastian frowns at me, remaining by the door, half of a hallway from me. He hatessmoking. He would glare

at me, scold me, or like this -- standing far away with disgust on his face.

It's a gross habit, but a woman needs SOMETHING to let out the pain in her chest or she will burst. But then

again, if his delicate Ava could afford such a habit, he would definitely join her instead.

"So?" He puts one hand in his pocket, glaring atwhen he finally walks over. He does that when he is

impatient. As in, all the twith me.

| gaze at his face, handsand dominant, just like the day he foundin that forest. But at that tthose

eyes were clear like crystal, with sparkles like the Milky Way. Right now it's pure darkness of hatred. He snaps his

finger to get my attention.

"Sorry..." | dart my eyes to the ground, pulling the divorce papers out. He reaches over, and in panic, | dodge.

Instantly, disgust fills his beautiful eyes, shouting at me--

[I knew it wouldn't be that easy.]

"Just...I have one question before this," | pretend to not see his hurtful look, keeping my eyes on his chest,

"...Please."

Would it change anything if I'm pregnant? | want to ask, | don't know how.

Taking a deep breath, | look up, just to catch him rolling his eyes with a sigh: "I don't have tfor your games,

Scar."

| know | missed my chance for my question.

| raise the file only an inch, and he snaps it out of me, leaving a cut at the root of my thumb. I grip my fist,

feeling the pain. It's really nothing compared to the ones he left on my heart.

He doesn't even notice, just turns to leave.

"I heard you," | blurt with my heart drumming fast, "you...you said you were married."

I watch him turning slowly, knowing I must look like a pitiful dog begging to be taken home.

But | have to ask.

I don't know if at this point, which would hurt more. A shred of hope...or not even that. I'm just...asking for the

baby's sake.

Lying to myself, | wait.

He got my question in that out-of-nowhere blurt: "I didn't want to give her false hope."

He wasn't rejecting her. He was just putting her feelings as priority to all, like always. No matter how much he

wants her, he wouldn't even allow her to bear a shred of pain, even if the pain from hope. Bitterness explodes in

my mouth, forming an ugly smile, | assume. Because his frowning deepens seeing my face.

"Would--" | ask but he is turning again. He stops, again, this teven more grumpy.

"Can you finish your nonsense all at once?!"

Would you miss me, even a bit, if I'm gone from your life...forever? | stare at the man that | loved for ten years,

tears coming out faster than my words.

"Would you mail the papers to Aurora when you are done with it?" | almost bit my tongue twisting my question

into a normal one.

"Why can't you get it yourself?" Sebastian retorts, adding, "Your stuff..."

"I'll get them out of your house today," | nod. | already did. | don't have much, really. An iPad, passport, and a

few pieces of clothes. All the things he bought for me, they bare Ava's mark and | don't want them. | barely filled

my small suitcase, which he didn't notice when he left the house today. | doubt he would notice anything missing

tonight.

"What's your plan after this?" Rarely, Sebastian asks.

"Do you really want to know?" | can't help but ask. If yes, then maybe...maybe we can share a kid in our

separate life?

"Why is it so hard to talk to you?" Sebastian leaves before his words can land.

Because you never cared to really talk to me. | watch him disappearing in her ward, finally allowing tears to pour

out as they like.

I'm sorry, Sebastian. But | can't tell you about the baby. It would only make life harder, for all three of us.

[Aurora, it's done.] | text. Three words and | have to wipe my eyes twice to see.

Instantly she textedback: [Your ride is downstairs, your Highness.]

| basically throw myself into her car, with the world twirling around me. Really glad that | don't have to sit on the

street and let every passerby catch a show.

Aurora hits the gas and takes us miles away from the hospital before she pulls over and comes out to the

backseat. She doesn't say anything and just letscry my lungs out on her shoulder.

Ten years. Ten years of this bitter-sweet love. Died, today. Just...such a lousy ending. | could have at least left

with dignity.

"I didn't think you could do it," On our way to the airport, Aurora observesseveral times before she mumbles

half jokingly half seriously, "I wasn't too surprised this morning when you toldto cancel, not as much as later

when you got back on the plan. What happened this time?"

"Well...I'm pregnant."
