058 The Fencing Gemini

Scarlett's POV

| do not see the "devil" Aurora paints Adrian Dunn as, at all.

It was actually a huge pleasure talking to him. When I first reached out to Adrian, all | knew about him was his

"throne" of being Sebastian's nemesis, AND the million. complaints on how "mean and petty" he was from

Aurora.

Apparently she was in a play and he made fun of her make-up. He messed up her hair, and she fell when she

tried to get back at him. Of course that made him laugh at her even more, and then he becAurora's enemy,

and made it on every one of her blacklists. | guess he grew out of the mean boy he was, opposite to Sebastian.

But the better he is to me, the more guilty | feel toward Aurora. | cto him because of our common enemy,

but he wasn't.

"You and Sebastian were best friends?!" | exclaim, my jaw on the ground. | never knew! Me! The biggest fan of

Sebastian throughout these years, and yet | didn't know! How?!

"We had a fall out...syears ago," Adrian takes a shrug, looking indifferent, "that's when the rumor about us

being nemesis started. | mean, you know media. Between good friends grew apart and good friends turning into

enemies, of course, they'd prefer the latter." "How many years?" | demand. | had a crush on Sebastian since |

was 7, and that's like, more than a decade ago! What he said doesn't sound like a decade ago.

"Hmm..." Adrian hums, only to "forget" about the question. He could calla beautiful lady, but THIS question

he can't answer?

"I knew Sebastian since primary school," | narrow my eyes at him suspiciously, "and | have never seen you two

together, ever." "Ohh, yeah," Adrian seemed relieved when | explained my question, "I don't want to be seen

with him, not after he turned stupid. "?" | blink.

"You know? He suddenly dropped fencing and started playing football," Adrian rolls his eyes when he mentions

Gabriel's name, "We were the fencing Gemini, did you

know that? And he dropped out onall because of-

Ava.

Adrian gave a weird look when he pulled to that sudden halt, and | understood. Sebastian started playing football

because of Gabriel, and that was when he suddenly becbest friends with Ava. Right after he saved me.

| didn't know Sebastian played fence though.

| feel like | see more sides of Adrian Dunn now besides Sebastian and Aurora's views of him, and | like what I'm

seeing, is definitely still proud for being friends with Sebastian. | stared at his proud smirk when he said "Fencing

Gemini", stunned. He is still that proud little boy who cared about his friend enough to be hurt by him,

too.

"Speaking of, did you know that Gabriel is starting a company? Footballer." He says that nin a really funny

way that | burst into laughter.

Sounds like the kind of stupid nthat Gabriel would go with.

"Good for him," | don't really care to know anything about Gabriel.

"Would you feel compelled to warn him if | tell you that he is in danger?" He looks at |through the rear

mirror, not directly at me.

"Nope," | let the "p" bounce off my lips, "not that he wouldn't ignore any warning from me.

but I'd love to sit and watch."

"I was just worried that you would feel guilty if you knew something but didn't tell," He grins at me.

"Why would | care about him when he'd open a champagne for my death? Do | look that stupid?" I roll my eyes. |

Adrian Dunn has a look that says that he knew | was...

Tsk. Does he know? There is no way...right?

But he dropped that topic anyway. In the end, | didn't get to know what "danger" Gabriel was in. What's the

worst that could happen? Lose the money for the startup, tops. His dear daddy has enough in the bank to cover

his ass. OSB The Fencing Gemini

He droppedoff downstairs of Aurora's building, and under my insistence, he didn't walkup like | was a

child going home, but just watchedall the way to

the elevator. He didn't drive off when I looked on from the hallway window on the 33rd floor. He is leaning on the

side of his car, looking up in my direction.

Seriously. | know he is being a gentleman, but he worries too much. | can literally hear Lilith and Aurora's voices

on the other side of her door. Damon would be happy-- his little trouble is having a sleepover with us.

But then my phone beeps. | look down, and see the worst happening-

A message from Ava: [Can you cout? We need to talk.]
