145 Damian’s Attention
Scarlett’s POV
“You are leaving?”
I look away reluctantly from Jack Fuller’s closed door when Sebastian’s voice raises. I look over, only to see Lucas standing by near us. My little suitcase was beside him.
I have been moving around so much recently, even since I found out about the baby that day. The only thing feeling homey is that suitcase.
“No, I’m not,” I dodge Sebastian’s eyes.
He would try to get me to move back with him if I answered yes. I don’t want to waste time on such a talk.
I wanted to move out because I had got everything I wanted from Jack Fuller. But now with Mom’s stuff almost within my reach, I can’t help my mind turning fast about how to get it. I want Mom’s necklace. I hate the fact that it’s on Ava’s neck, especially when I know it would be harder to get it from Jack Fuller
now.
“You are not a good liar,” Sebastian sighs with a bitter smile, seeing through me, “I know better than to force you. I just…” He frowns, lowering his eyelashes to hide the pain in his eyes before he continues, “I can move out if that’s what it takes for you to move back in.”
“I’m not moving ‘back‘ anywhere–!”
“The house is under your name,” Sebastian says calmly, knowing what I would say before I even finish, Even if you insist on a divorce, you are leaving with half of whatever I own, so.”
I turn around, glaring at him.
”
This man. He is just stubborn and arrogant and dominant and stubborn! Stubborn twice! He is as considerate as how cruel he was to me. I’m no longer sure if he really didn’t know he was hurting me, but
I can’t take this bet with the life of my baby.
“Did you even read the divorce paper I signed?” I frown at him.
“You took nothing, I saw, and I changed the clause to splitting everything with you,” He curves his lips bitterly, “You tore that one up. Feeling pitiful?”
I roll my eyes.
“Guess not…” Sebastian smiles bitterly, mumbling to himself more than speaking to me, “Your heart is harder than a stone. Once you made up your mind to leave, nothing could turn you around…the lease of all money. You loved like fire, but when you hate, you hate like the coldest ice.”
“Nothing is a legit enough reason to stay in a marriage but love,” I say coldly, “I learned it the hard way.”
“–”
“Please, don’t say that word to me,” I cut him off. Remaining decent is the most mercy I can give him and I don’t promise to be able to if he dares say he loves me now, “You are wrong. Ldon’t hate you. I hate
myself for allowing you to walk over me. But if you insult me with this lie, I WILL hate you.”
