Chapter 109
109 Burning Pain
Scarlett’s POV
Why did he even help earlier?
I stare at him, shocked. I thought he was better than Jack Fuller. I thought though he cared about Ava, he was decent, unlike Jack Fuller.
“I’m not staying,” I suppress my anger as it burns away my reason bit by bit, “I don’t fucking care about those files. Just remember, bigamy is a
crime.”
How much of an influence does he think my feelings toward him still have on me? I don’t want to do anything to them because I don’t want to waste my time on them, not because they can still walk all over me.
“I’m not planning on marrying Ava,” Sebastian raises the file, “I just want another chance. You wanted a chance from me, and that’s all I want now
“I gave everything for that chance!” I snap angrily. He does know how to get me, “Let’s say that you are not asking me to stay for Ava, your way of asking is to threaten me?! What do I have to lose if in this? You want to be bound to me? Be my guest!”
Just one person in front of me and Adrian before we can stop all these. fucking people behind the security line. One gossipy person who is staring! I glare at her, and scared by the residue of my anger, the lady looks away awkwardly.
“Scar…” Sebastian grips the file in his hand, a struggling look on his face. Just by one look I could see he was not asking me to stay for himself. He wanted something else, and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that something’s initials are AF. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The gossipy lady passes and I follow with Adrian behind me.

“Scar,” Sebastian remains where he is, blocking the rest of the line, “I have leads of your real parents. You leave, and I’ll destroy them.”
Shocked and failed to believe such horrible words came out of him, I
wheeled around and threw the only thing on me at him. Sebastian frowns and turns his head sideways, not dodging. The hard corner of my purse left a cut on his forehead, and this is when I noticed that he already had a cut on his lips.
I do NOT care how he got it..
“What did you say?!” I demand, but Adrian is faster than me. He walks up and throws the most swift punch I have ever seen. I gasp in shock, and the next thing I know, several men join this farce and we are being pulled out of the line to the side.
Airport guards aside, there were other black suits.
“Boss!” Adrian’s secretary, Mateo hurries to his side as the two guards hold Adrian’s arms to his back. Mateo waves his hand and Adrian’s guards break him free by force, and he warns, raising a finger: “You touch Mr. Dunn again, you can count on a lawsuit against you. Not the airport, YOU!”
The guards in uniforms cover Sebastian with their bodies, calling for help with their walkie–talkies. Sebastian wipes the corner of his lips with the back of his hand, shooting the blood stain an indifferent look.
“You go first,” Adrian hints to me to get into the line. I want to, but I know from the moment he got me to attack him, I lost this round.
Sebastian could always get what he wants from me, one way or another.
“She can’t leave!” One of the airport guards shouts at me, “That’s aggravated assault, and she’s not going anywhere until the police are here!”

The other airport guards walk up to me and Adrian blocks me with an angry demand: “Shut the fuck up if you don’t know the definition of the accusations you are making, or I can sue you for slander! Now go and fucking ask that victim of yours if he is pressing charges!”
Sebastian darts his eyes over with a sullen look. Even if he says no, I doubt I could go anywhere. But he doesn’t say anything. He just stands there, looking at me with a desperate look.
I murmur thanks to Adrian as I turn and run, only to run right into Ava who comes behind me.
Out of instinct from years of training, I twist my body in the last second, and fall to the ground instead of bumping into the fragile princess. Sitting on the floor, I grab my ankle to fight the burning pain.
Tears splash into the carpet by my feet.
