She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

Sebastian's POV

"It's not the same," I frown.

Scar knew about me and Ava, but does Adrian dare to let her know about him and her best friend? Besides, Aurora is Scar's best friend, when Ava is only...Scar's sister.

Okay, maybe it looks similar on some levels, but I never misled Scar about my feelings about her! That's the difference!

"I would have saved you in that abandoned building," I see how stubborn I am in her eyes, but I can't back away on this, "I did, whether you believe it or not. So if you are into him just because he saved you, then don't. Scar, gratitude is not the same as love--" "So why are you pursuing me then?" Scar cuts me off, "Please don't tell me it's out of 'love'."

It is. But I know she won't believe me. I didn't even know when it happened.

"This is not about me. Even if you don't forgive me, you shouldn't choose Adrian. He is bad news."

"I thought you were good friends," Scar cocks her eyebrows, "What did he do to deserve that comment?"

A lot! He secretly came to visit Scar today when he was with Scar's best friend almost all this week! I know that he pushed off important projects AFTER he knocked out all the competitors just so Aurora Dawson could get it. If that's not pursuing her, then I don't know what is!

I have been following him around recently, trying to keep anything from happening. If it was with anyone else, I would have told Scar. I don't want Scar to know such a thing about her best friend and...her possible crush. How could such a sweet word be so bitter?

"I...I can't tell you..." I sigh, knowing how powerless my reason is.

Scar trails her eyes up and down on me, her confused look turns into a weird face as if bursting into laughter but stopped herself at the last moment.

"Is he dating--uhh, someone?" Scar asks me suspiciously like a crafty little fox.

Dare I answer? I frown, hesitating. If she looked into it, then she would get hurt. I was hoping Adrian's interest in Aurora can fade before Scar ever needs to know about it like with every other woman he has been with. "Wait, why won't you tell me?" Scar suddenly frowns, a new level of confusion in her eyes as she searches for the answer in my eyes, "You are...worried about... me?"

Is it this too hard to believe? I wasn't into her when she forced me into marriage! It's not like I was a monster who wanted the worst for her! Am I like that in her eyes??

"When I took the vow on the altar, I

took you as my wife," I grab her curvy waist, shaking her slightly as if that can help convince her, "You have every right to be mad at me. I was blind and I was stupid and I was kidding myself and I hurt you in that process but ...I wasn't a monster, was I?"

Scar blinks, looking straight into my eyes as if making a decision. In the end, she sighs with a nod: "You are right. I'm sorry. I didn't feel that you cared about me but...you are not a monster." Her tone is calm without passion. She has no love for me. That much I know by now. But it still hurts to confirm over and over again.

I let her go slowly. I don't want to, but I can't find even an excuse to keep her.

"About Adrian, actually--" Scar starts,

but the blunt, annoying direction James Deep chooses this exact moment to shout "action" loudly near us, and Scar turns to look want to pull back her attention, but seeing Scar's freezing look can't.

I look over too, and I see why--

MS

Oliver Scott blocks the mean sister -- Scar's role in the movie -- with a little furry tail in his hand.

That's how Adrian met Scar for the first time! The school plays.

Adrian told me. Scar was the little wolf in sheep's clothing. He liked her, so he went to tease her after the play, accidentally pulled off her tail and made her cry. Adrian told me -- well, actually, shouted this tome after my wedding with Scar NôvelDrama.Org content.

After I left Scar for Ava on our wedding day.

"The white knight doesn't suit a little naughty wolf better than me," Oliver teases the girl, giving her the tail, "He won't look at you even if you hide your wolf tail for him, but I appreciate you, for all you are." Watching the scene, I understand why I can't compete with that.
