Chapter 65 065 Common Enemy Scarlett's POV The man stands up with a hand supporting his heavy body on the table, then starts stretching his limbs in a string of painfully slow moves, ignoringand Ava in total. His hair is messy, and his smelly clothes loosely hang from his beer belly. Then he opens a bottle of water, rinses before he swallows the water in his mouth, and splashes water on his face and head until the bottle is empty. He grabs what looks like a dirty shirt and wipes his head.

He doesn't look like a thug. Thug has better bodies...and probably healthier lifestyles, too.

But that doesn't mean he is not a predator. He abducted two girls - I'll take Ava's words on this for the sake of argument - tied them to chairs in a dark room of what looks like an abandoned building, and it seems that his intention behind his slow movements is intimidation. Like the play before a cat kills a mouse it caught.

Then all of a sudden, he pulls a string hanging in the room and lights penetrate my eyes, leaving a sour sting. From Ava's hisses, I assit took her off guard, too.

A common enemy ofand Ava? That would be the most unlikely thing to exist if you askedyesterday. But I'm leaning toward believing her now. She luredhere; yes. But she might also be a victim, too.

The man walks over.

With a thumping heart, I keep my sour eyes on him, but just below his chin. I don't want to meet his eyes, but I can't look away when danger approaches. The grey shirt he's wearing looks like it has been on him for days, smells like that, too. He is in sweatpants and running shoes, good ones. He wasn't poor before whatever this is. "Sebastian Knight, you are his woman?" The man grumbles atwhen he's close enough forto smell his breath. His eyes are red due to lack of sleep, filled with viciousness, anger, desperation...and a shred of pain.

Is that why we are here? He is Sebastian's enemy? I glance at Ava and she bites her lips nervously.

Just fucking great! The moment I put two and two together, anger burst out in my chest. So he abducted Ava thinking she was “Sebastian's woman", and to save her ass, she soldout and luredto this psycho?! 065 Common Enemy +25 BONUS I'm going to fucking kill her! "He divorced me, if that's what you meant," I try to keep a calm voice, answering him clearly. I don't want to piss him off.

"He still loves you though," The man bends down, and I flinch backward beyond my control. Seeing that, he lets out a cold snort, "Do you think it would hurt him more, if I take his woman before killing her in front of him?" Okay, that's sserious hatred alright. A chill breaks out on my back at his stone- cold tone.

He is serious about this.

"He doesn't love me," I try to make that sound like a state of fact, instead of a hasty explanation. I cannot believe even after divorce, that damn jerk can still getin trouble, "he never loved me, and as a matter of fact, he hates me. That's why we divorced." And the woman he loves is right behind you.

But I didn't say that. I want to keep him talking, instead of shifting his attention to Ava. Ifand kills guy believesand kills her, her army won't letlive. If the guy doesn't believe me...then no point to go that low for nothing.

"I don't know what happened between you and Sebastian, but there are better solutions than you dying as a murderer just to kill an ex-wife of his who he doesn't even care," I blurts fast, but keeping a steady tone. The guy pauses, standing up straight, his eyes narrowed as he observes me.

"You are smarter than that one," He nods in Ava's direction without darting his scary eyes off me, "...which is why I don't believe you. She toldyou are his wife, and she didn't lie." Damn it. I didn't lie either! "I can get you money-" I avert the topic.

"I don't want money!" The guy suddenly gets agitated, shouting like don't want your filthy a maniac, "I money, and money, and I don't want a way out! He killed my loved one, and I'm going to do the sto him!" X
