She Approved the Split He Fell Apart

Scarlett’s POV

Bumping into Sebastian was a surprise. I couldn’t imagine anything would be able to pull him away from Ava, especially when she is really hurt this time. He looked like he had something to say, but in the end, he seemed to have changed his mind to a meaningless question.

I don’t know how to answer, and frankly speaking, I don’t think he was waiting for a legit answer.

When did he lose me? The past months where he made Ava’s hospital his one and only home? The true love’s kiss he shared with his beloved princess? All the neglection over the years, the mocking and cold snorts? Or our wedding night he spent with Ava?

Or maybe, he already lost me the second day he saved me, when he took the princess as the little dragon he saved.

I guess I knew the marriage was dead way before this. It died in one of those long, lonely nights when I sat in our bed, imagining my husband being on another woman’s bed. I just thought maybe I could hang on for just a little bit, and he would come around.
