139 Two Can Play This GScarlett's POV I cover my mouth in shock, throwing the case into the safe and locking it, only to realize I have got nowhere to escape. How could she be ba so quickly?! "Scarlett!" Ava keeps shouting, wracking the doorknob like crazy, "You stole my key, didn't you?! You dare to sneak into Daddy's study?! You are dead! Daddy toldyou would try something and you certainly did! Open up!" I struggle between the door and the balcony.

It's not safe if Lucas is not there to catch me, if I go with the air way. But if I go with the door...

I wanted to play dumb and investigate first, but I guess the beans are spilling. I grip the key in one hand, and the doorknob in another. If this is how it's blowing out- "Sguy climbed into her window," I hear a guy's voice across the door, his words are for Ava apparently. I hold my breath and wait.

Sguy? What guy? Lucas? Into my room, not the study??? Wait, they have eyes on the windows???! "The cameraman? Into her room? They are not sleeping together, are they?" Ava whispers back, hesitating, "But my key is gone... Who else would steal it but her?" "Scarlett!" Ava shouts at the door again, givinga flinch, "Daddy is on his way home! You better cout while you can!" Shit.

At this moment, my phone lights up. Luca's call.

I press my screen on my body, backing away from the study's door slowly with my hand on my mouth. All the way till I am by the glass door, furthest from the door, I put the call through and whisper: "Lucas?" "Don't go out," Lucas says quickly as soon as the call is through, "They can't get into the study so long as you have the key. We just need to persuade them that you are in your room and this can be your alibi. Stay calm." His words putat ease.

Adrian has eyes on him, but he is an hour away," Lucas answers swiftly, “we still have time.” "She is coming," Lucas whispers into the phone, "when you hear her voice, speak into your microphone as loud as you are allowed to be. Be careful not to let her people at your door hear you." "Okay-" "Scar!" Ava's voice suddenly bursts out both outside my door and my phone, "Open up!" "What's up?" I ask as calmly and normally as I can, covering my voice with my hand as if that can block my voice from escaping to the door. I said it as lightly as I could, but it still sounded like a bomb in the quiet study.

I don't know if anyone by the door can hear me.

"..." Ava pauses, apparently didn't expect my answer. When she speaks again, her voice has a shade of hesitation, "You...in there? Someone saw a guy climbing into your window, so I just want to cand check your safety." Well...sounds like a conundrum if I answer either way.

"Yeah, it's just Lucas," I try, waiting for her answer.

"Sebastian is here, too," Ava kicks the ball toyet again, "you know you are still married, right? You can't behave like this, Scar. You are a Fuller. Open up and at least let your husband in." I roll my eyes. Now I'm a Fuller with a husband? Why didn't you think of that when you called him out for dates?!

— But I figured out Lucas's plan - he & puton speaker at maximum volforfor Ava's ear, but then he couldn't open the door, which is what Ava is trying to do. The problem is, Ava would never be persuaded until she seescoming out of that room. But she can guard the door when I can't get out. Tis on her side.

"He wanted to divorcefor you, so he should be grateful that I'm turning my interest on another man. “Puse Ava's method on her. She shouts "my crime" out loud just to have the public opinion on her side. Two can play that game. "Now back off, *29 BONUS 139 Two Can Rey This Gdear sis. I just might let you have My husband if you don't pissoff any more than you already do."

"What are you talking about!" Ava I grunts and I laugh silently with my O hand over my mouth, an imagine her peeking around at the crowd she called over with a red face, and that image makesvery- "God!" I gasp in shock, scared into tears when I see Sebastian inches away from me, right outside the glass door, squatting to my level.

I thought Ava said Sebastian was with her! RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
