She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked by Nyx Rai

203 Old Rose

Homecoming day.

It has been only three days since Sebastian saw Scarlett on the news. In the arms of another man, Sebastian would add. And that makes the past three days like three years to him. Not to Ava though.

She has found the passion for shopping and decorating herself with endless dresses and jewelry too heavy for her fragile neck. She hasn't felt like this for years.

The wedding ring on her finger has been more like a shackle, rather than a blessing. She can't flirt with her collection of men anymore, and it would have been fine if she really felt like the crown of being the queen of the city really belonged to her. How could she when she could barely see her husband?

She expected Sebastian to be mad for a while, but it stretched into this grudge between them that he never seemed to have gotten over. Ava cried the first time she had to find out that her husband had some other woman in his arms on the news. She cried the second time, too. And the third, the fourth...

In the end she just became numb to it.

She thought that was the end of the tearing pain in her chest. In some way, yes. She could no longer feel them when she sees another pink news of her husband, but nor could she feel the excitement at a new dress, a fancy handbag, or even makeup. She has no one to look good for.

But that changed, three days ago.

For whatever reason, Sebastian invited her on a thing! Even if Scarlett the pest would also be there. So what? Actually, even better!
