Scarlett’s POV
“Stay back!” I shout, no longer care about attracting attention.
“No one can save you,” Gabriel laughs, “No one will. You know why? Because you are THAT notorious, as much as your evilness deserves.”
He strides over and I grab the beer bottle I have been glancing at. I knock it onto the table and get a weapon out of it.
back!” I point the sharp broken glass at Gabriel, backing as he approaches closer.
“I dare you to try, my dear little sister,” Gabriel raises his head and shows his throat at me, “be the murderer that you are, and let everyone see!”
“You come one step closer, and I will stab this into MY throat!” I point the glass under my know I will die because there won’t be enough blood for me in this city!”
Gabriel bursts into laughter so hard that tears come out of him.

“Seriously?” Gabriel laughs, not forgetting to point his damn camera still on me, “You think I’d care if you hurt yourself? I have got evidence shooting right now, showing that it has nothing to do with me, SIS.
“You don’t care about me,” I nod slowly, daring not to let my guard down, “but would you care if your daddy hears that you killed the blood vessel he found with hardship, for your beloved little sister? What if Ava’s illness comes back, hmm? Do you dare to bet me with HER life?!”
My words knocked the smirk off his stupid face.
Gabriel is THAT stupid.
No matter how much Ava hated me, she never came at me herself. But Gabriel doesn’t a big enough brain to understand what consequences mean.
Gabriel looks in a conundrum.
He can’t let me off easily because that hurts his pride, but he dares not endanger Ava because of my

“While you are shooting, then let me tell you this once and for all, so you can remember! I take my chance at getting rid of the bully once and for all, “your dad begged me to stay in this fucking city, because he is smarter than you! He knows better than to endanger Ava. I’m staying for Mom, but the next time you dare to come near me, you better hope that Ava will never need blood again! Because I won’t be there! And if she dies, you know that she dies with her blood on YOUR fucking hands!”
Gabriel’s face is shifting between white and red as anger rushes to his head, but he is not making another pushy move.
I don’t know how to end this either. I dare not to take my weapon off my neck. I talk big, but if he kept on his bullying, or even stripped me for real, it’s not like I would kill myself over such small things.

My stupid bluff could only scare him a stupider head.
617 The White Knight
And this is when HE shows up.
“What’s going on here?” With his long legs, Sebastian strides over like the shining white knight he is, demanding at the situation.
I wouldn’t expect any justice from him though. After all, he is the asshole’s best friend. If he had taken the side of reason, he wouldn’t have been Gabriel’s friend in the first place.
Gabriel was relieved to see Sebastian.
“Ava has been crying for three days. She is really upset this time,” Gabriel turns to Sebastian, “don’t you know?”
Sebastian doesn’t look at him, his glare nails on me.
Yeah, sure. Another result of my crimes, I guess. Three days though? Ava wouldn’t shed even one drop of tears if there is no audience for her show. She saves them for Sebastian’s presence, and she has been able to cry on cue since we were very young.
I think forming that skill helps with her acting career a lot.
Seeing Gabriel dropping his plan, I let my arm down, slowly. Gabriel wouldn’t get physical with me in front of Sebastian. He has an image to maintain in front of the white knight. My hand is still shaking, from fear and adrenaline rush. I’m holding on to the bottle’s handle so hard that I can’t open my palm to drop it.
“What are you doing here?” Sebastian surprises me when his question is raised by my side.
He rarely initiates a talk with me, fights about Ava aside. I wouldn’t expect him to talk to me at all after the fall out though.
I cock my eyebrow, looking at him.
