008 Dragon Blood
Scarlett’s POV
Sitting on the cold floor, I realize I made my judgment too early.
I thought my life used to be a living hell. How wrong was I. Though everyone treated me horribly, never did they lay a finger on me.ter all, I was the precious blood vessel for the fragile Ava. They couldn’t afford to lose me.
But not anymore.
I palm my face, looking up slowly at the man I once called father, only to realize the coldness in his eyes: I’m still the blood vessel, just not “precious” anymore. I’m now a nice to have.
After all, Ava is all but healed now.
They won’t toss me away because I might still have value What do they have to lose if I don’t get my chance of a normal life?
For that slight “might“, I can’t have my freedom. I’m not allowed to leave the city and have my own They don’t care if my heart would be broken a million times every day here, seeing Sebastian with They don’t care that I might also need love, from somewhere, anywhere
And they can afford to physically hurt me now.
I dart my disbelieving eyes to “Mom“, to the woman that I once thought might have spared just a little love in her heart for me even though most of it is reserved for her beloved real daughter
She won’t look at me. She just covers her face with her palm and sobs, just like every time when Jack forced me to give blood to Ava to the point that I would faint
“Mom, please, answer me.”
Just say that you really hurt yourself. Say that you told Jack to not lure me back. Say that there is a shred of love in your heart for me, that even though you need my blood for your beloved daughter, you also wanted happiness for me
Please, just lie to me Like before
to you to fucking stop talking to her Jack Fuller charges at me again, like an angry bull.
To my surprise, Sebastian blocks him
“Luck Sebastian’s muscled figure towers over Jack’s beer belly, “Whatever this is about, you can use your words instead of raising your hand ”
Actually. I’m not too surprised. He is the perfect prince charming. Even for a despicable me, he will stand up for. If he didn’t save me that time, then I wouldn’t have fallen in love with him.
What a mistake.
“How could you hurt your mom like this? Can’t get to me, Jack shouts at me through Sebastian, “Don’t you have no shame, you ungrateful brat! She loves you and you are hurting her heart with that lover
Yes, that’s what I used to believe I let out a laugh, mocking the naive, stupid me
+25 BONUS
Loving him as my salvation was just another lie I have been telling myself.
