235 Scar's Lullaby

Sebastian left his room soon after, and the host moved on to the items following. Everything seems to be falling back on track, but everything feels wrong now.

One luxurious item after another gets on the stage, yet not getting the attention they deserve. The fight over Frozen Night is too dramatic, and the audience can't help looking at the items as more boring than they actually are. Ava is back. An invisible wall between her and Jack Fuller as they fall back into their seats.

Scar is not even in the mood to enjoy that.

Sebastian was the one falling for a liar. Sebastian was the one who gave that liar access to their house. Sebastian was the one willingly giving up his everything for a ring that he gave up in the first place.

But for some reason, Scar feels horrible.

She couldn't even pin it down, but she just can't enjoy her win. Something tells her - well, shouting inside her soul that he doesn't deserve this. She tries to argue with that voice, but she couldn't find all the rage that was inside her before.

Shouldn't she be happy? Now that she successfully lashed all her anger out on him? Now that she destroyed him? Now that she inflicted all the deserved pain on him for his mistakes? So he never actively tried to hurt her, so what? So he tried to make amends even before he found out about Ava's lie, does that make a difference? So he forgot that he granted Ava access to his house when she hadn't shown him her true color, does that make him innocent of the death of their baby?
