She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

Driving for 20 minutes in the car, Scar's eyes are still cold from the outburst earlier. She has loved that man, and hated that man. He is just to painful to keep in her heart. She wants him out of her life, but he just keep coming and stir things up! "So heartless about him, hmm?" Silco breaks the silence tauntingly, "Sure you won't regret it? I know how much you loved him before."

"That's none of your business!" Scar snorts coldly, her tone not at all like the sugar baby she shows others.

"Ouch," The man laughs, not seeming to be offended, "I thought we were building a rapport over here. What upset you, princess?"

"I told you!" Scar wheels on him, but instead of her outburst, she throws herself at the man due to a rapid turn, "Oh my God!"

To her surprise, Silco catches her by the shoulder gently. Only seeing she's alright before he turns and scolds in a strict tone: "Arthur."

"Sorry, sir." His driver answers tamely.

Scar holds her shoulders, backing to her own corner with her heart thumping rapidly. Part of her also suspected Silco's drive. A rich, powerful man appearing to her needs at the moment she needed help the most, giving her all she wanted for her seemed impossible revenge...for nothing? Too good to be true. Even on her off days with her too-far-gone brain, Scar knew.

Silco has never made any inappropriate move on her, but it still surprised her when he would choose such a gentlemanly path when the opportunity presented itself.

If Scar had been lying to Sebastian about how much she trusted Silco before, it's surely much more true now.

Could he be real...about helping her? Is he only here because he also wants to settle his old debt with the Fullers? Could she...really trust him? It's too stupid to make the same mistake, and the last thing Scar wants to do, is trusting the wrong person. But... With a thumping heart, Scar throws a peek at the man, only to bump into the man's laughing eyes. And what made it even worse-

"Are you blushing?" The man taunts, and instantly the blushing spread from her cheek all the way to her ears.

"I don't know what you are talking about!" Scar darts her eyes outside of the window.

The man laughs slowly in a low voice. Strangely, Scar doesn't hate him that much now.

"I told you," The man finally had his fun, speaking slowly as he landed his eyes outside his side of the window so Scar's burning ears could cool off, "I love my wife, very, very much. She doesn't like the Fullers, so they are my enemies. I'm not interested in you, not in that way."

If Scar liked him in that way, she'd be embarrassed, but the considerate way the man says it somehow makes it a comfortable conversation.

Scar peeks over, again.

"I like to call you princess because I had a daughter," The man continues, turning around to meet Scar's eyes, his voice genuine like never before, "She'd be about your age by now...if I had the chance to spoil her to your age, I just feel like I would still call her my princess."

The man says with a smile, but Scar hears the hidden pain in his voice.

"I'm sorry..." Sorry for being so horrible about the nickname, and sorry for his loss, "Did...did you lose her to the Fullers?"

The man lowers his eyes, turning away: "They broke her."

Scar couldn't imagine how such a

daughter to scumbags like the Fullers, but to be frank? She's not surprised. At that moment, she feels Sileo's pain.

"I..." Scar opens her mouth, only to hesitate for a long before she continues, "They took someone important from me, too. As you know. I'll...we will make them pay." Silco's eyebrow twitches as is surprised, before he raises his head and looks over slowly: "Thanks. You are a good kid. Pri..."

Scar darts her eyes away, and Silco stops.

Waiting for a long moment, Scar turns around a bit confused. Silco just smiles at her. Scar pouts a little If he had told her about his daughter before, she wouldn't have been so horrible with that nickname! It was his fault to say it always in a taunting way!

"You..." Scar grumbles with a tiny voice, "You can call me princess...if you want, that is!" Her ears are back in scarlet.

Silco cocks his eyebrows, blinking in confusion.

"Nothing!" Scar snaps, turning away and staring at the window with anger out of nowhere.

"... You are a good kid," Silco repeats as Scar tries to cool her ears, adding, "... princess." Scar rolls her eyes exaggeratedly, only to smirk sneakily to the corner of her lips.
