For years Scar has been wondering where Ava got the lying and acting from without a hint. It was right under her nose. It was Anna Fuller, Ava’s mom who is so good at lying that Scar didn’t even notice anything wrong!
Anna cost Scar’s mom, and Anna’s daughter took Scar’s baby! Like mother, like daughter! She won’t let them get away this time! She can’t unite with her mom and baby with peace before she gets justice from this pair of snakes!
“You need to talk to your father, honey—” Anna Fuller reaches for Scar’s face like the perfect mom she paints herself to be. Sebastian pulls Scar back a step, blocking her with his body as he grunts warningly: “Anna, stop it.”
She turned on the manipulating machine again.
But Scar heard Anna already.
Letting out a cold snort, Scar murmurs slowly: “My father…”
The laughter is full of bitterness, anger, hatred and disappointment, everything but what should associated with that word.
“Scar…” Sebastian tries to pull her close, but Scar remains where she is with her neck stiff, her pupils shaking as they nail on Anna Fuller.
For a second there Sebastian thought she would go into a total break down, but suddenly her phone rings. Scar tries to get her phone, but her body seems out of her control.
“Ohh, darling…” Anna sighs lightly, and Ava smirks with despise.
In that moment, Sebastian realizes he it taking a glance into the past dark years that Scar had. He knew it wasn’t easy, but he had no idea exactly how horrifying it was.
He reaches into Scar’s purse and pulls out her phone, trying to hang up the phone call which is making it clear that Scar lost it.
“It’s Lilith’s call,” Sebastian says to Scar gently, clicking the phone once so the ringtone goes silent, “We’ll call her later, okay?”
He needs to get Scar out of here.
But Scar blinks. She seems to can’t breathe, but her eyes stare at her phone’s screen, her nails cutting deep into his arm. She wants to take it.
It’s her Alice’s call.
