069 Sebastian’s Love
Scarlett’s POV
“I’m sorry for your loss, but this is the first time I’m hearing about this,” I talk to the guy, and taking a glimpse into his sad story, find it easier to talk in a sympathy tone,” May I know her name?”
He shoots me a glare, but he grumbles: “Sparrow. Sparrow Ryan.”
“That’s a cute name,” I try to smile at him. I actually feel like I do know that name. My brain stores a glimpse of that name because it was so special. But I can’t remember what happened to her. It wasn’t registered anywhere near Sebastian though.
If her death had anything to do with Sebastian, I would know. I picked up everything about him like drops of treasures.
“Wait, I know her!” Ava suddenly takes a surprised gasp, “She jumped off a building for Justin Roland! She was his stalking fan-”
Did her energy–lacking brain malfunction? All words out of Ava are products of serious calculation, always. I have never seen her blurting things so recklessly against her innocent act.
She realized her mistake even before she finished that sentence, but the word ” stalking” was already out. The guy launches up and slaps her across the face so hard that her head turns to the side.
“She’s not a stalker!” He growls at her like an angry bear. Ava turns her head back toward him slowly, her eyes open wide with utter shock. No one in her life has ever dared such a thing. But what did she expect from a guy who was ready to murder?
Ava starts a low, wronged sob. She tries to stop it by biting her lips, but water still pours out of her eyes. The guy raises his hand at her again out of frustration and she instantly flinches, but this time his land doesn’t fall. He paces around in obvious anxiety, mumbling strings of curses as Ava cries silently.
Justin Roland is one of the most expensive actors signed under Knight Entertainment, one of the subsidiaries of Sebastian’s family empire. He only turned 20 this year, and he already started in more than three movies, let alone his long list of works as side characters since he was a kid.
So his fan jumped off a building, and Sebastian intervened? If he did, he never told me. I guess he didn’t tell me everything, though I was his wife.

But shouldn’t he be going after Roland’s loved ones, if that was the case?
I dare not to ask questions, so I start with a cautious assumption: “Whatever Sebastian did, we can-”
