Scarlett's POV

I close my eyes in desperation.

I really should have told him that I have his baby in me. He might still choose to sacrifice me, but he wouldn't do it this decisively without even a pause.

For a moment I really want to lash out like Liam Ryan did. I want to struggle and shout and curse and say to hell with everyone and drag everything to hell with me. In that moment I feel Liam Ryan. He didn't even care about a 90 billion worth company. All he wanted was a What did I do wrong in all this? Should I have not loved the kind boy who saved me all these years? Should I have left the city when Mom "needed" me? Should I have told him the truth five years ago?

I sort of put together Sparrow's story in Liam Ryan's rumble here and there. Basically, Justin mistook Annie for Sparrow, and just like how I found out about the truth when Justin proposed to his Ava, Sparrow stood up and told the truth.
