She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

"I'm Sebastian Knight," Sebastian lands a hand on the arm of the seat, showing no intention of a handshake, "And you are?"

"No need to know," Answers the man in the mask, seemingly with a light laugh.

The laughing tone puts a frown on Sebastian's face.

"Well, you are in my seat, so..." Sebastian tilts his head with a cold look, "Either you get out of it, or we find out whether you have what it takes to keep it."Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

The masked man curves his lips: "We both know that I do, no? So how about we let the lady decide who she wants to be her king?"

Sebastian does not answer, but he can't help darting his eyes at Scarlett, who he hasn't dared to look.

Whoever this man is, he is definitely influential enough to swing the school's decision. That he does know. He just wanted to know who his enemy was, but the masked man seemed determined to keep his identity a secret. Scar came back with him. She had his hand around her waist when they made their debut in the city, and now...

Scar tilts her head lazily toward their fight. Pulling the sunglasses lower with a finger, she lands her purple eyes lazily on Sebastian.

Then her lips curve, putting a color of dangerous crazy on her.

Sebastian has never seen such a Scar before.

He thought he knew Scar well. He met her when she was the innocent little angel; he somewhat grew up with the loving girl who had her heart on him; he married the sexy woman for five years, getting to know every inch of that body. None of those Scars is like the one in front of him.

Her eyes are sparkling, unlike five years ago when she divorced him; her face delicate with definitely high makeup skill, versus the Scar who used to have no makeup on; her cheeks are healthy pink, a color you see on the face of someone who has been taken of carefully. But behind her eyes, Sebastian sees an empty soul.

There is no care in her eyes. They were never like that before.

She cares. That's the Scar he knew. She was able to love, and she cared about the people she loved. She cared about him, about Anna, about Lilith and Aurora and Adrian and...the baby.

But now the light of that care is gone, and he can no longer recognize his Scar in this woman.

Right. She is no longer Scarlett Knight now. She is Scarlett Green.

"You want to be my king, too?" Scarlett smiles at Sebastian, again that crazy, empty smile, "I'd love to see you take him down."

She grins evilly at the masked man. Sebastian cocks his eyebrow.

The masked man lets out a resigned laugh, lands an arm on her shoulder, and pulls her face closer to him: "I thought you granted me this seat already, princess?"

Scar giggles. She opens her arm

wide at the masked man, who picks her up into his arms before settling her on his lap, as if they have done that a thousand times before.

Sebastian grips his fist, using all his willpower so he doesn't pull Scar away from the masked man. That would only make Scar hate him more, he knows.

But to Sebastian's solace, when

looking at the masked man, Scar remains the same cold and empty as she was to him, even though Scar is sitting on the man's lap as she speaks:

"You want this seat, then take out the competitor. May the worst man win!~"

Sebastian frowns. Something is off about Scar.

At this moment, Ava's voice raises: "Scarlett, you are back!"

Sebastian nails his eyes on Scar, afraid of Ava's appearance triggering anything darker from the woman he loves, only-

"I'm sorry, you got my name wrong," Scar turns to Ava with a bright smile, her arm wrapped around the neck of the masked man.

"What?" Ava blinks in confusion, only to nod with a wronged smile, "I know you hate us and changed your last name to Green--"

"No," Scar shakes her head like an innocent child, playing with the tail of her long braid, "I mean, yes, I'm a Green now, but my name is not Scarlett."

Ava turns to Sebastian with a surprised look, who is not giving her any attention. Sebastian stares at Scar with a worried look, and somehow that amused her-

"I'm Scar. Scar Green," Scar holds

out a hand at Ava, who takes the et

handshake with nothing but confusion, only to hear Scar adding: "I'm back, for blood."
