Chapter 78 078 My Hero Scarlett's POV Everything happened too fast.
I only closed my eyes for a second at Sebastian's choice, and the next second he was on the floor, holding on to Ava's chair with her dangling in the air. I didn't see what knocked Liam Ryan over. I just know the moment he turns to Sebastian, he suddenly stumbles to the side, and the next thing I feel is a hard kick on my chair.
This is it.
The horrifying fear of the loss of gravity kicks in, and I can't help bursting into shouting to let the burning fear out of my chest.

Would he be sad over that innocent little one? Or would he not be moved at all? Either way, it's sad, and that sadness overtook any emotion I could have, and I cried, under the claw of fear.
But I only fell for a second.
Someone caught my chair just as I began to fall, and the strings rein deeply into me, but never before has pain givensuch a huge feeling of safety.
"Scar?" Adrian's voice rises above me, "You are okay, don't move and I'll pull you up. Are you with me?" I open my eyes only to a slit, and I'm rising steadily until he putsdown on the floor and cutsloose gently. Trub my freezing limbs slowly with my soul floating outside ofstill, barely feeling the pain the rope left on my arm. My eyes are following Adrian but my brain can't seem to process the information. 1 Am I not dead? Why is Sebastian's annoying face stuck so close to mine? How is Adrian even here? Did he just save me-? "You scaredto death!" He pushes Sebastian to the side and pullsinto his firm 1/2 +25 BONUS 078 My Hero arms and hugstightly, "Are you alright? Scarlett?" I don't think it's very appropriate forto hug him. I'm still married. I barely know this guy. He was just my boss, and he just risked his life saving me.
But I can't resist the safety the warm hug gives me.
I grip his suit, feeling the power his hug gives me. He patslightly on the waist, and his other hand rubs the back of my neck like comforting a kitten. In that moment I melt in his arms, and a scared cry burst out ofbefore I can stop myself.
I want to apologize, but I can't catch a breath to do so.
"I'm sorry..." To my surprise, Adrian apologizes instead, "Did I scare you? I didn't mean to...
He slowly lets go of me, but I don't want to leave his warm hug. Feeling my reluctance, he lets out a relieved sigh and pullsback into his arms, firm but gentle this time- "You are okay now. Lettake you downstairs, hmm?" I bury my face in his neck and nod.

I don't care why he is doing this for me, and I don't care. I just want to hide in a safe hug that is for me!) have made few friends, but never have I felt such safety from any men in my life. My "dad" didn't care about me, Sebastian didn't care about me. All my life, I never had a hero to count on.
From the moment the Ryan guy called Sebastian, I knew that he would be coming for, Ava. It doesn't even hurtthat much anymore. The worst feeling, was that I knew no m: one would cfor me. No dad, no brother, no hero, would be coming for me. In Adrian's arms, the desperation I felt since I found myself in this abandoned. building is finally dissolving, slowly.
