Billionaire, Let's Divorce! by BELLA

Chapter 0229

I knew that under all of Scarlet's toughness and sarcasm and insouciant bravado she was still a very bright, funny and caring. person. Perhaps that's why she had fallen so hard for the rakish. Luigi in the first place. It was sad that the man she was insanely in love with had been killed.

Our reprieve was shattered by the whirr of Tavon's car pulling into the compound, the tires crunching on the gravel outside.

Scarlet and I both tensed instinctively at the sound.

She quickly stood and stubbed out her cigarette.

"I have to get to my duty post," she said brusquely, the lightness vanishing from her voice. And with barely a backwards glance, she strode away, leaving me alone on the terrace.

I sighed heavily and also rose made my way inside the house to welcome Tavon back and perhaps offer my condolences once more for his terrible loss, awkward as it may be under the circumstances. When the door opened, Bella and Tavon walked in. I watched Bella, her fingers intertwined tightly with Tavon's as Tavon took a seat.

Every sentence I had practiced flew out of my head and I just stood there, staring at him like some moron.

Unlike his usual lewd and wicked appearance, Tavon looked beaten, he looked completely like a grieving father.

My heart skipped a couple of beats when Tavon turned to me.

His eyes didn't carry the liveliness it always did. That vibrancy to live life to the fullest was gone.
