She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked by Nyx Rai

179 The War

Scarlett knew that she was my baby sister. She knew I was looking for her, and she watched me going after the wrong girl, probably even helped in that. She knows everything and she chose to keep them secrets. That realization aches me to my core.

I can't even begin to comprehend how she would hate me so much when I'm basically a stranger to her. So much so that she wouldn't even come home to wealth, fame, and her own father?

I thought Ava was Alice for like a day. But the more investigation comes back about their past, the clearer it got: Ava was the favored, the spoiled, the bully, and the liar. A stupid one no less. All this time she has been trying all she could to get my attention. She comes off as the tamed daughter, even with a lousy story about how she was adopted, too.

Even if I can overlook Scarlett's adoption history, and the fact that Scarlett appeared conveniently after Mom's car crash in North Dakota, I wouldn't have ruled her out just for her purple eyes.
