She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked by Nyx Rai

178 Two Different Worlds

Scarlett's POV

Her scream soon attracts attention.

The first one responding is Sebastian. I think he came over even before I threw her into the water, because he jumped after her almost instantly, and pulled the struggling Ava to the up. She coughs in panic, keeping that horrifying cry up this whole time. But as good an actor as she is, the panic she puts on her face is nowhere near the panic I'm feeling inside.

I pushed Ava Fuller, the delicate princess of the Fuller, into a freezing cold lake, with the witness being my own husband.

The case of my crime could be closed and sentenced already.

I dare not imagine the anger of Jack Fuller, the disappointment of Anne Fuller, the vicious revenge from Gabriel and...Damian Vanderbilt. I don't even know how to face Sebastian at this moment. "What's going on here?" Damian Vanderbilt's august voice demands, and I freeze in fear.

"I'm sorry!" Ava bursts into a louder cry, sobbing at him as she "tried and failed" to stand up, "Damian, I lost Mom's necklace! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I tried to stop her, but she was too fast!!!"

What?! I watch in utter shock as the scene gets off the rail at a speed beyond my imagination. Damian Vanderbilt's face darkens visibly at her words, and his fiery eyes dart at me.

to my surprise, Sebastian stands up and blocks that ray of condamnation. He came to her rescue, he took off his suit to wrap around her, but he is now standing in front of me,
