She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked by Nyx Rai

Scarlett's POV

In the end, I didn't talk to Lilith that night.

She doesn't want us to know. It might hurt her pride more than helping her with her financial problem. I need to talk to Aurora first about it. Besides, Lilith never mentioned Damian Vanderbilt to us, so I'm not sure how to talk to her about that either. I don't think Lilith would be with him if she knew he had other women, but I don't have evidence either.

But all these are just excuses.

I fled the scene because I might be a Vanderbilt, an unwanted one no less.

Lucas got a hotel for us, and I hid in my room for three days straight. My activities mainly involve searching about the Vanderbilts online and hiding under the cover every five minutes.

I believe the cover has the power to block off all ghosts, so it should be able to protect me from other horrible things, too.

There isn't much about them online.

Or, the ton of information about them online says little that I need. They appear on the news for museums under their name, for charities in which they participated, and occasionally, for some celebrities' interactions with them. And most of them are not even about Damian Vanderbilt. Apparently he has not yet touched the throne -- it still belongs to his father Johnny Vanderbilt, head of the Vanderbilt empire, husband of his late wife--

Emma Vanderbilt.
