064 A smart Snake Scarlett's POV
When | woke up, everything was dark. For a moment, | thought it was still at night, only to see that I'm in a dark
room when my eyes got used to the darkness.
My mind is like a mush, and it's adjusting even slower than my eyes as if someone. injected fog into my brain.
What happened? Where am I? | was in a car...? The last thing | could remember was Ava's scared eyes.
Ava!
My memory of last night rushes into my mind as that nwakes them up, also is waking up is a throbbing pain
in my temples. | frown, trying to rub my temples, only realize that my arms are tied to the arms of a wooden
chair.
Now | remember.
| didn't want to go out to meet Ava when | got her message. She never reaches out to me, ever. She has got an
army to do that if she ever needs me. Nor was there anything for us to talk about. The last tshe "talked" to
me, she showed the video of Sebastian when he | replied with a sticker of rolling eyes, but Ava instantly replied -
[I can get Dad to let you go, if you give Seb back to me.]
Then before | could even reply, she sent another message: [Now can we talk?]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt| was tempted.
I didn't think Jack Fuller would indulge such a request easily, not even for Ava. But if anyone can getmy
freedom, it's her.
And on top of that, | got the divorce papers right in my hand. | didn't trust Ava's words 100%, but that was
definitely the moment closest to my freedom.
[Fine, where are you?]
She said she was downstairs. Next, she gave a long string of instructions directingto a car stopped parked
with its butt stuck in a narrow alley. | stopped far from it, struggling to run immediately, but then Ava rolled down
the window and waved at +25 BONUS

1. me.
That was when | got into the car, and that was when a pair of hands covered my nose with a wet cloth and when
I blacked out.
After trickingso many times she still has new ways to do it! God damn it! | knew she was a fucking liar, but |
really thought her desire for Sebastian was genuine. | never thought the spoiled little princess, the one who knew
only how to frme in front of everyone, wo committing a real crjust to get me.
| just don't know what more Ava could possibly want from me. What's she isn't getting from her army that she
has to abductto do?
"Scar!"
From a dark corner, Ava's voice suddenly rises.
I look over, but | can barely make out her figure. The window is letting in nearly no light. It's either super dark
out there, or the window doesn't open to the sky.
"Scarlett!" Ava's hasty, scared whisper raises, "You are awake! Thank God!"
Thank God? Ava is not using her mean face, meaning there is someone else around
1, UB,
"What is this, Ava? Where am I?" | ask in a lower voice than her. I'm not sure why she's keeping her voice low,
but I'd rather not test it myself.
"I don't know!" Ava hisses back, "I'm a victim in this, like you!"
"Yeah, sure," | roll my eyes, remember that she can't see, "except you lured
ally tohere, and I'm deciding whether to tell the police about that part when they come."
Aurora knows | have no other place to go. She would call the police when she notice that | didn't go hlast
night. The question is, how fast can they locate me. My phone!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI look around. In the dim light that my eyes are used to, | see an almost empty room. The door is missing - or,
there never was one. The
walls and the ground are all dirty grey, the color of a roughcast house. A messy table in the corner with several
things on it, including my phone. No way to tell whether it's on or off. "Hey, Siri?" | try to activate my phone.
Siri doesn't react, but Ava does.

"Shut up!" Ava hisses angrily, "You might wake him up!"
Who?
A disgruntled grunt suddenly rises from under the table, and that's when | realize a man is lying under it.
"What are you doing?!" Ava suddenly "whispers" in an angry tone, a bit louder than necessary, "There is no
escape!"
| open my eyes wide at Ava's stupidity, and the man instantly sits up at her words, glaring in my direction. Nope,
she's not stupid, not at all.
A smart snake she is, as usual.
