136 Lie To Me

Sebastian's POV

I was pleasantly surprised that Scar would initiate a talk, only to realize - Scar wants something from me.

She is a free spirit, the opposite of Ava. She says what she thinks, and she does what her heart tells her to. Always. But not when she wants something. She turns into a different person, a tame girl who tries her best to behave, to flatter, to restrain. I used to scorn at that. I felt like she was always asking for something when Ava never asked for things. On top of that, she does it in a timid, almost scared way and I didn't like it.

Scar would ask all my friends but me about what I might like to get me "the right" gift, and ask me if I liked the gift when she gave it to me. If I said "yes", she would smile so brightly with a timid question" Then do I get a full day with you? Just us?"

I didn't like Scar's "hidden conditions" for the gifts, so I hated it when she gave me gifts. I felt like there were always traps behind it. I never thought about how hard it was for her to get anything she wanted. I never understood her timidness behind those questions. If it were Ava, she would just say "Next Sunday I want to go to the beach, you are coming, right?"

I was so blind.

I have given her too many of them. Scar's "wishes" were simple demands that I should have provided as her husband even without her asking! She only asked

requirement of me again. But I know she wouldn't take that kind of risk with me

on a fake mask, and try awkwardly to steal, to trick, to lie, than to just ask me for

with me in a bar when I wanted to drink my struggle away, and then give me the pill to ease my headache. Not that I would reject her now, but

light, I could not go back. It was like I was put under a spell for so many years, or else why couldn't I appreciate the

poisonous lie, I have to swallow. I fear if I ask her straight

hurting. To see her tricking me, I mean.
