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'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!!!"
