201 Five Years Later
The news about Scarlett going to prison died out faster than usual, and even the launching of her movie a year after stirred little fuss up. She was infamous for a while with all the talks about her miscarriage, about the attempt murder case, about her divorce with Sebastian Knight. But those stories soon touched the edge of myth such as how she already died in the prison, and died soon after that.
Gossip is like flies in summer, they spread, but they die fast, too.
People has short memories. They only remember what they see, and these days, it's Ava Knight.
Yes, the famous actress who won a bunch of awards, married her first love from childhood, the famous CEO of the Knight Empire, and became the hostess of Z-house. Officially listed no less.
People talk about her because she ran the Z-house into the ground, and her billionaire husband doesn't seem to even care about that. How indulging, people say about him, to give your beloved wife a million-dollar company just to play around, even if she ruined it. People talk about her because the movie James Deep made for her, painting the most romantic picture of her love story with Sebastian Knight in their school life.
But those are not the reasons why people talk about her.
But those are just a moment of news.
The groom never even showed up for the altar. She went up and finished the vow on her own when her groom -- her now husband, Sebastian Knight, was spotted a thousand miles away on his private island with a bunch of models in his arms. Yes, people forgets. But the internet doesn't.
What people talks most about her is still how she attended her wedding, alone.
The picture of Ava Knight's bitter smile with tears in her eyes on the altar alone, saying her vow, still pops up every now and then. Even controling the Z-house -- mouth of the new media didn't help her too much.
Some say that she ran Z-house into the mud exactly because she tried to use it to her personal interest -- like, for one, trying to make that photo disappear.
The more she tries, the more it pops up.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

She was never once seen together with her husband again, before OR after the wedding. Everytime she makes her way to the news with new movie, another ad, or anything like that, it was almost certain that her husband would make it, too. Except it has always been pink news for him, travling here and there with different women by his side.
Some say he hated her, some say that he has a secret mistress hidden somewhere, and others just shrug and say that's just how billionaires are. Sure they can spoil you like you are the queen, but once they get you, they forget about you.
People has forgotten the days when Ava Fuller was his queen, when he would accompany her everywhere even though he had a wife. They only remember her lonely figures and forced smiles with her husband's pink news right on the side.

And Scarlett's name popped up on the news feed, right at such a moment.
"Sebastian Knight! Did you do this on purpose?!" Ava's voice burst outside of Sebastian's office, apparently struggling with someone, "Let go of me! I need to see him!"
Scarlett Green, the Home Coming Queen
In the dim room, the man sits quitely behind his desk as if he didn't just hear his wife's angry voice. The lights are not on, with only the moonlight bouncing off his glass, glimmering off the gin in it.
He never liked the mild taste of gin. But ever since that day five years ago, he has never touched his beloved wiskey bottle again. He would just pour himself half glass of gin, sits there and stare at it, night after night. In front of him is a laptop with its screen glimmers dimly. But its owner tuned up the light just now, for the photo taking up the whole screen --
She got famous as Scarlett Knight, and she went into prison as Scarlett Fuller. Though her coming back today was high key, few knew that this mysterious famous Green was the infamous woman from five years ago. Few, but he is not part of them.
Scarlett Green.
She grew her red hair back, longer
with big curls showing her firey spirit. No longer the pale girl with short hai behind bars. She is on
high heels with a slender dress. cutting deep on the back. Both what the old Scar would never wear.
The most unfamiliar part, is that she has a man's arm around her waist, and she's smiling, genuinely.
