Damian's POV She knows.

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?

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.
