She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked by Nyx Rai

Scarlett's POV

He knows nothing!

"I have never followed you anywhere," I fold my arms, feeling safer. His suspicion is only about that night. No way he would ever suspect that I heard his dark plan, too. "You FAILED to," He corrects me in an arrogant tone. Lucas's pride would definitely refute if he was here. But he isn't.

"Are you always this paranoid, or you don't know the possible consequences of slander, Mr. Lawyer?" I grin at him, and he purses his lips into a smirk, not talking back. "Mr. Scott," James Deep makes way and Oliver Scott follows us out, and so does Damian Vanderbilt. I follow them, and can't help but throw peeks at him from the side.

This man is my brother? Biological one? Like Gabriel to Ava? He is taller than Gabriel, but not as bulky. He wears thin glasses, but somehow I just feel like he is not any less a fighter than Gabriel. What would it be like if he was as protective of his sister as Gabriel of Ava? "Like what you see?" He suddenly turns around and catches my glance. I roll my eyes and look away, not missing his taunting chuckle.

Meanie!

"Scott," He nods in an indifferent tone, ignoring me. I frown with my eyes shut, forcing myself to not look at him. Oliver Scott sends him off before he comes back to me and James Deep: "So, this is the big writer that I have to impress for the role?"

I frown, leaning away from him. I don't like him. I don't like how he plays familiar with everyone even if just met for the first time. And he is always smiling, hiding his true self behind the blinding smile. But he was as evil as Damian Vanderbilt!
