Scarlett’s POV

Everything happened too fast.

I only closed my eyes for a second at Sebastian’s choice, and the next second he was on the floor, holding on to Ava’s chair with her dangling in the air. I didn’t see what knocked Liam Ryan over. I just know the moment he turns to Sebastian, he suddenly stumbles to the side, and the next thing I feel is a hard kick on my chair.

The horrifying fear of the loss of gravity kicks in, and I can’t help bursting into shouting to let the burning fear out of my chest.

In that split second, I don’t even feel hatred. He loves her, and he chose her. I couldn’t expect more than that. At that moment all I feel is an overwhelming of sorrow, the sorrow of knowing that he would find out about his baby dying with me when I hit the ground.

Would he be sad over that innocent little one? Or would he not be moved at all?
