Scarlett’s POV
I took my suitcase when I came to the Fuller’s Villa this time. Performing my debut in front of the queen of acting, I need the right.
armor.
I stayed at Aurora’s for a couple of days to recover — Welllll, for fun, okay?! I’m back on the movie now that I’m staying in the city. The shootings start in two weeks, so I enjoyed my limited freedom alone in the apartment, doing final edits of the script, and relaxing.
We managed to persuade Lilith. She is sharing the apartment with Aurora now, and they are both workaholics. They deserve each other.
On Lilith’s second day of work — the day when they’d both started to get up really early and come back super late, I dragged my little suitcase to my own battlefield.
This time, I came FOR blood.
Henry the doorman let me in with a smile, suspecting nothing. This is the silver lining of having hypocrites as enemies they keep the fights. inside, and it can be convenient for both parties.
Ava is the first one to spot me.
Well, I stopped by her and blocked her sunbathing. Potato, potahto.
“What the hell are you doing here?!” Ava blasts at me first thing when she sees me, “How dare you show your face after-”
“I’m here to throw you out of your fucking room,” I notice her calmly,” Now get your mommy and daddy out, ‘cause I don’t care for a
meaningless talk with a liar.”
“What the fuck did you just say?!” Ava hisses under her breath, surprise.

towering over anger in her voice, “Are you losing your–”
“I’m not losing anything,” I waved my handbag at her, “just recording. So. you better watch it–”
Ava grabs my handbag and throws It Into the pool, making a splash that catches the attention of her friends her real friends, the mean ones. Meaning Sebastian is not here today.
He should be in his office right now, probably cursing — Adrian is creating some small problems for him recently, making sure he has no spare time for Ava.
“Glad you did that,” I smile at Ava as I wave my hand, and my
photographer comes out from a close bush, a camera carried on his shoulder, “Let me introduce you. This is Lucas, my cameraman, and he will give you the type if you can be a good girl, and go get mommy and daddy.”
Ava’s eyes dart between me and the camera, her acting queen part taking over.
“All my friends are here,” Ava manages a perfect smile, backing away as a few guys come up with dangerous intentions, “you don’t want to hurt me here, Scar.”
“I know I do, dear sister,” I grin wider than her reluctant smile, genuinely, “because you don’t know how many cameramen I brought today, and I know you won’t dare bet me on that.”
Ava flinches.
“Liam, Ethan,” Ava mumbles, and the two guys on the front line stop and look back at her.
“Good girl,” I smirk at Ava, handing my suitcase to her, “Aren’t you happy that I’m moving back in, per your wish, dear sister?”

Ava glares at me in disbelief, but in the end, she smiles in front of — not at – the camera and takes my luggage over, dragging it along as she leads the way, “I AM happy. I just hope you can be as happy as I am later!”
Her words are coming out more and more hostile, and my mood becomes brighter and brighter at that.
“Ohh, I will,” I follow her hasty steps leisurely, “Daddy wants me to stay close, so he will be happy; Mommy wants us to make up and be a pair of loving sisters, so she will be happy. I don’t see why I wouldn’t be?”
A cold snort escapes Ava. In front of a camera? Her acting skill is sliding.
“I don’t think you can be loving to me,” Ava puts on a sad face, giving her side to the camera as if not intentionally, “I have been nothing but nice to you, and we both know that means nothing to you-”
I have to give it to her. She is a really good actor. She knows her way around a camera, and she designs powerful lines fast.
“I will this time,” I assure her, genuinely smiling because I know she would be exploding in the next five minutes, and that would feel GOOD,” because you will beg Mom and Dad to let me take your room.”
“What the–?!” Ava finally stops, glaring at me.
Too late.
I back away a step, keeping a safe distance as I smile over her shoulder: “Mom, Dad, I’m back.”
They have a horrified look as if they have seen a ghost.
