Chapter 121

121 Deal With The Devil Scarlett’s POV If it were anyone else I would have given th 1 a cold snort. But as much as I have been hurt by this man, I can’t deny that he was as honest as it comes. If he says he wants another chance, then he means it.

It’s the motive behind it that I doubt.

I once held marriage sacred, but now I know. It doesn’t matter if he is doing this for Granny’s sake, for the company’s image, for the guilt of exploiting me, or for any other possible reasons — if it’s for ANYTHING but love, it would be a disaster.

“I don’t give out second chances,” I push him away calmly, and before he continue to plea I add, “and I had been handing those out to you so much like meals of the day.”

He opened his mouth only to close it. Staring at me with deep blue in his eyes, he stands there with his throat rolling slightly. But he is not saying anything.

What’s there to say? I have said and done everything I could and more, and they never mattered. And now only after they pushed me beyond what I could take that he finally felt guilt? How long can guilt maintain a tragic marriage, if love can only go so far?

“Okay, no second chances,” Sebastian nods lightly, giving me the ugliest bitter smile, “How about protection? I just want to help you, nothing more.”

“Help me?” I laugh, and as if my laugh hurt him, he lowers his eyes. He has been on Ava’s side since forever ago, and now he comes and offer ” help“? I sit on the edge of the table halfway, folding my arms, “Sure, I want that dressing mirror out of the window, if you’d like.”

Jerk!

I’m pretty sure I paid upfront,” I give him a harder push. He backs away following my force, smirking as if it’s all expected-

“Fair. I guess we are square then ”

This easy???

Leaning back on the closet with his hands in his pocket, a leg curled up with the tip of his foot on the ground. Sebastian curved his lips: “Now that you have used up your up–front payment, then how about we move on to the next deal?*

I don’t like how he appears as if he isn control. He can’t control me, not anymore! Why would I ever deal with him agai I know things about your past, too, and you can get them way easier than you can from Jack Fuller” Sebastian says in his business tone, sharp with a smirk, “So, what’s your offer?”
