In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1445

Her face was obscured by a pair of shades, so I was not able to tell who she was right off the bat.

It was when she removed them that I recognized her as Rebecca.

Rebecca must have gotten used to the attention; her getup was more over the top than the last time I saw her.

The woman gnashed and ground her teeth as she stabbed a finger at my nose. “Scarlett Stovall, you slut. How the hell did you manage to still stand there in one piece?”

She did not seem inclined to veil her blood-lust toward me in the least.

I must be an idiot if I still couldn’t figure out why.

The thought of the moment when our lives hung by a thread had my fingers tighten into a fist. “Were you the one who tampered with Marcus’ car?”

“That’s right.” Rebecca raised her voice to shift the blame onto me. “So what if I did? Anyone who tries to protect you deserves to die!”

Before I could react, she lunged at me and caught me by the jaw, forcing me to look directly into her eyes. “How is it that you can manage to dodge a bullet every single time? But know that this is just the beginning. Next time, I’ll have you know what real horror is!”

The vise-like grip she had on me hurt my face.

I gritted my teeth and shook her off. “Does a human life really have so little value to you?”

Rebecca let out a scoff, acting as though she had just heard the biggest joke ever. “Human life? Isn’t mine worth nothing to all of you? I’ll never forget how I’ve been left to die inside of that freezing cell, so don’t you dare die on me yet, Scarlett. I’ll have you suffering for the rest of your life!”

With that, she spat on the ground and turned to leave.

As I watched her silhouette fade into the distance, I finally understood why Emery had called this woman a raving lunatic who couldn’t be reasoned with.

I took a deep breath before I pulled out my phone and calmly called the police.

When I sent Marcus his lunch, I was guilt-ridden and subconsciously avoided making eye contact.
