She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked by Nyx Rai

190 Chose Wrong

Sebastian's POV

"What happened?" I ask Jack Fuller. Something triggered Ava. She only saw Scar and I earlier today, and she was fine leaving in her newfound brother's arms.

"She was calling you before we found her in her room, blood-soaked," Jack Fuller nails his resentment-filled eyes at me, "So you tell me, what happened to my daughter?! She LOVED you!" His voice lost shape when he burst out the word love, and it was the first moment I realized that--

She didn't love me. She never did. She WANTED me.

She demanded my time, my love, my indulgence, and she would be happy only when she got something she wanted from me. She never cared about what I wanted, not like Scar did.

"I'll go see her," I open the door to her ward, not wanting to waste time on Jack Fuller.

The ward is completely dark and quiet. Ava is curling up under the cover, facing us with her back. Hard to tell whether she is asleep, or just upset and refusing to talk.

"She just fell asleep, waiting for you," Jack Fuller blocks between me and the room. His words instantly lit up a furious fire in my chest, "If you are going in like this, all riled up and ready for a fight, then maybe you shouldn't."
