She Approved the Split He Fell Apart Novel

023 Code Red

Sebastian’s POV

Adrian Dunn is bad news.

He inherited from his father not on the biggest newspaper in town, but also his cold dark view of the world from the last century. He believes not in law, but in power, not in just, but in narratives. He hurts people without a blink even if they are innocent, and he protects those whom he cares to no boundaries.

I stand against everything he is, and that puts his target on my back.

“What do you say, Seb–babe?” Adrian smirks. As if the bruises on his cheekbone doesn’t hurt at all.

Right. I also hate his lousy low–taste nicknames.

“Fuck off, Adrian,” Gabriel stands up, using his “intimidating walk on Adrian – pressing his bulky features

into his face.

Adrian is my height, but Gabriel is almost 6.5 feet, bulky no less. I think that’s why he got his bully name even though he doesn’t really do the bully shit. Also why Adrian calls him “bear“.

Adrian is not flinching-

“You don’t want to fight me, teddy bear,” Adrian doesn’t even put his icon fake smile on for Gabriel, “not

If that I wouldn’t enjoy beating the shit out of you, I have got something better planned for your dumb ass you don’t want your father’s pathetic business to go down for your stupidity…then sit.”

Gabriel grunts like an animal, almost pressing his face into Adrian’s. He knows better than to hit Adrian, because that guy CAN and will destroy the Fuller’s business if he wants to.

“Enough!” I push them apart, facing Adrian, “You are here for me, no? Then direct your attacks at me.”

“Still the same old narcissist, Sebastian,” Adrian snorts coldly, his smile vicious with anger hiding in there, “in case you might not notice, you are not the center of the world.”

* draining my patience. We believe in different things, but I have always thought it was out of petty petitive urges. What’s with his powder keg style today?

Because of our fight earlier? He keeps a secret intimate relationship with MY wife, and he is the one getting angry??? Did I miss something here?

“You wanted to come, IN MY PLACE, you even had the time to have a fight with me,” Adrian presses closer, looking into my eyes seriously all of a sudden, “So? Did you figure out what code red is yet?”

He really pisses me off.

I don’t like how he makes it sound like he is so close to Scar. He is not. If I know one thing about Scar, it’s that she loves me, truly. She wouldn’t have cheated on me. But that doesn’t mean that the image of her cheating that this guy is painting is any less annoying!

“Whatever you are indicating, it’s not true. Scar won’t cheat.”

Adrian cocks his eyebrows so high they almost disappear into his hair.

“Seriously?” Adrian Dunn lets out a sneer, “You are pathetic if you think that’s my indication. If I wanted to

annoy you by painting her as a cheater, I wouldn’t have left five years ago, you dumb ass!”

What now?

“You really are fucking blind with the center of your little world being your arrogant ass!” Adrian rants with a hysterical tone, “There is one thing I will never understand, it’s why Scarlett would ever fall in love with a hypocritic blind moron like YOU.”

“You like Scar,” I state, ignoring his provoking.

“No, I don’t LIKE her,” Adrain lets out a cold snort, shaking his head slowly, “I, love, her. I love her enough to respect her decision to marry you five years ago, and I respect her decision to contact me today, even if it means she wants an affair inside a marriage. And if she does, it only means you are such a lousy husband that you forced one of the best people there is to cheat!”

I want to retort him with some nasty things, but I can’t. I still have the divorce papers from Scar with her signature on them. The papers that I said I would sign, even if just under the heat of an argument.

To Scar, we are good as divorced.

Is that why she contacted him today? To notice her backup that she’s available now? After all, she said “ex

Mrs Knight“, to Adrian of all people.

For the first time, the concept of “Scar is looking for a real divorce” hits me. Hard.

I have never even considered that possibility. That Scar is…leaving me? After everything? She could endure me leaving on our wedding night, but NOW she is leaving? Just because I spent more time recently with Ava for her surgery?

“What’s code red?” I demand Adrian. I refuse to let this guy get into my head. I came to solve the problem with Scar, and I will do that.

“You don’t get to know now, even if you beg.” Adrian spins his phone between his fingers with a smirk, ! out the truth if you want to, Sebastian Knight, ‘king of the social media‘. The question is, would you dare to look at the truth?”
