Chapter 68

068 The Last Day Scarlett’s POV The guy left the room, leaving us tied to the chair for a whole day.

I know because while the window opens to what seems like the inside of ant abandoned building, the change of light still somewhat indicates time. But knowing that doesn’t help us at all. The dangerous stranger is no longer our biggest threat –

Hunger is.

We haven’t had food, or even water for a very long time.

“Where did he go?! Is he just going to leave us like this forever?!“Some hours ago, Ava was capable of vigorous complaints like this, and now she can barely talk.

But she has a point. If the guy just left us at a random abandoned building, then there is less of a chance for anyone to locate us while he can go and get all the alibi he needs. And condemning him is not even the problem because we would have died way before that could happen.

My stomach groans.

My appetite has grown bigger since the pregnancy. The baby has grown used to his aunt.Aurora and aunt Lilith feeding him all kinds of cuisine on and off meals. I was complaining to them about gaining weight, and now I only regret not gaining more.

The baby needs food.

“Seriously? How delicate are you?” Ava mocks me. Glad to see that she still has the energy to talk, but I won’t take such a complaint from THE spoiled princess herself!

“What can I say? The privilege of being Mrs. Knight,” I keep my voice light, “Three meals a day with me, and Sebastian never misses one.”

He missed a lot, and Ava should know,– she was the reason behind those. But I know I would get to her just by saying so.

“You are lying! He loves me!” Ava thrills viciously at me, “Why won’t you just die?! We would have been together if not for you!”

“Let’s make it clear,” I raise my head with hardship, “YOU stole from ME, not the other way around. Have you been lying to yourself for so long that you forgot the truth?”

Ood The Last Day +25 BONUS “He mistook me as you in that woods on the first day, but that’s just ONE mistake!” Ava blurts fast without even a second of pause. Pretty sure she has been practicing this lie every day before she goes to sleep, “He loved me for so many years after, and that’s says that he loves me for me!”

She actually has a point there.

“You should save some of this fine argument for the psycho,” I sigh, “When he was looking for Sebastian’s true love.”

“You took my place to marry him, so you being here is not my doing, but karma!” Ava hisses viciously, for a moment I really feel like she’s a snake coming out from a smelly, poisonous dark corner.

I lower my head, having no energy to argue.

It’s really ironic, to think that I suffered for so long for loving Sebastian, and now when I stopped loving him, that love became the death knocking on my door.

I really don’t want to die for such a lousy reason.

“Glad to see that you are both still this lively.”

He is back!

There is a throbbing pain in the back of my head, as if someone is peeling my brain off my skull. My lips are cracking and my throat hurts. I barely have any energy to lift my head. But when his cold voice raised, all this pain dulled and my nerves tense up instantly.

“How do you feel?” He opens a bottle of water, and comes to us, leaning the bottle to let water flow, splashing to the ground right at our feet, “Want some water? Food? How about a little cheesecake with strawberries on top?”

Ava swallows subconsciously when she sees the little cake in his hand. I, too, at the water.

He went out to buy a cake? A Cheese Factory no less. Why?

He raises the little cake at us, smiling for the first time, “This is her favorite, my daughter.” The ice hidden deep behind his smile gives me a shiver, and then his tone takes a blunt turn: “You are living her last day on this earth. She didn’t eat nor drink for a whole day, and when I went to get her favorite cake like she asked, she jumped off from the 17th floor!”

Suddenly my fear and anger toward him turned into a heavy, bitter sorrow.

“Because of Sebastian?” Ava puts on her timid, angel mask, turning toward me with a murmur, “Did you know about this?”

Ava Fucking Fuller! Would she die if she stopped sabotaging me for just one second?! I would cut her with my eyes if I could! For what it’s worth, acting was the right career for her!
