051 A Win For Me
Scarlett’s POV
The rest of the party went through smoothly.
Sebastian lured me here with the divorcing papers, but I don’t know if I could count on his words when Ava is here to occupy his attention. But after I sent Granny off at the gate, I found not only Sebastian, but another unexpected surprise waiting for me there, too.
“She’s not going with you,” Sebastian fires at Adrian the first thing after Granny’s car leaves.
Why would Adrian even do that?? He is such a baby!
“That’s her decision,” Adrian smirks. Compared to Sebastian’s sullen grumble, Adrian seems charmingly at ease, “even if you still are her husband…technically.”
Okay, two babies.
“I’m going with-“I try to explain, but Adrian curves his lips-
“Miss Dawson and Miss Grey didn’t want to drag you to another taxi ride, and they trusted me with your safety after I got them a taxi a few minutes
Did Aurora just abandon me to my new boss?! Seriously?!
“I mean, I really appreciate that, Mr. Dunn, but-”
ago.”
“Also, we do need to talk about your new job,” Adrian glances at Sebastian when he says “new job“, adding, “I wouldn’t be a good boss if I let a talented writer like you go wasted.”
Sebastian shoots Adrian a glare, and Adrian grins happily at that.
I don’t really want to be a bother, especially to a guy who I’m not familiar with. But as if seeing through my thoughts, Adrian adds: “You don’t want to make me break my promise to two ladies, right?”
I don’t. But I don’t want to drag his name through the mud with mine either.
“You don’t come with me, then you can say goodbye to what’s in my car,” Sebastian gets impatient and ignores me and Adrian, leaving.
When was the table turned around to where he could threaten me with the divorce

“Of course, Mr. Dunn, I’d love to help you keep your promise!” I raise my voice for Sebastian to hear, “Please give me ONE minute because that’s how long Sebastian would take!”
Sebastian rolls his eyes, “Weren’t you going with Adrian? I thought you only wanted one minute from me!”

“Playing coy with your sister’s HUSBAND in front of his wife, Ava Fuller, where is your manner?!” I fold my arms and say coldly.
Both of the love birds stare at me with shocked eyes, and shockingly, Ava’s ears turn red. I didn’t know she could feel shame.
I never retort. That’s the Scarlett they knew. The old Scarlett would never put Sebastian in a dilemma between me and Ava, nor would she give Ava any excuse to summon her army.
I’m not that Scarlett anymore. They never understood why: They could hurt me because I loved them. Sebastian, and my so–called family. I don’t love them anymore,
yet they still expect me to swallow up whatever bitter medicine they throw my way
“He won’t be your husband for long!” Ava bursts into tears, shouting at me, “You took him from me, and you have no leverage now!”
“Really?” I tilt my head at Sebastian, giving him a taunting grin, “Will you? Divorce me?”
Either answer would be a win for me, and happily, I see an angry storm forming in his fierce black eyes in his customized dilemma.
