Chapter 20
020 Gabriel’s Little Darling
Scarlett’s POV
I can’t help but glance at Sebastian, and surely enough, he is frowning at her. She HATES him! Why would she be here?! Why would she be here at THE moment I’m stuck with Sebastion? With my heart pounding hard, I turn around slowly.
Then Aurora throws herself into me.
“Scar! Are you alright?” Aurora grabs me and checks me head to toe, “I’m really really sorry! I was…caught up with somethin–What’s that smell on your hair- OMGI You are bleeding!”
I giggle, can barely breathe in Aurora’s attention in a machine–gun style.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
In that moment I feel like I traveled back in time. When Gabriel bullied me, Aurora would be the one attending to me while Lilith….
I peek in Lilith’s direction sneakily, and her cold eyes catch mine like sharp knives. Those are the cold looks she gave me when she left my wedding with Sebastian. I lower my eyes quickly.
Lilith is no longer in the picture.
With the skills from her policeman of a big brother and the queen aura from ruling the kids on the street, Lilith can be intimidating when she wants to be.
“My dear Lily! What brought you here?!”
In that awkward moment of silence, Gabriel burst into a pleasantly surprised shout.
“Tsk,” Lilith clicks her tongue, shooting Gabriel a despising look, “Keep your distance, dumbass! Was that your doing?”
She nods in my direction.
“I only raised my voice a little and she was so scared and took a broken bottle to her own neck, haha!” Gabriel laughs proudly, putting his arm around Lilith’s neck, “Am I good or what?!
Aurora and I watch with both of our mouths open so wide an egg would fit right in.
This is the last thing that could happen in this world, not even when the judgment day came because God forbids one of US would ever get close to Gabriel the devil.
I
Lilith dodges my eyes, pushing Gabriel away in panic. have never seen a panicked look on her face, and I’m not missing the red ear tips of hers either.
Lilith…with Gabriel?
“I have nothing to do with him!” Lilith blurts at me. I just nod by instinct, still processing the image printing in my mind forever now – Gabriel’s arm around Lilith.
“So THAT is why you didn’t want to come!” Aurora folds her arms in front of her chest, nodding in Gabriel’s direction as she glares at Lilith, “We could have gotten here sooner and Scar wouldn’t have been hurt!”
Nightingale is one of Gabriel’s most frequent.

“I–can explain…I’m sorry…” Lilith struggles with an anxious look, turning between me and Aurora before she grabs my arm, “Scar, I can explain!”
Honestly? I’m just happy that she’s talking to me again.
Although, the idea about Gabriel the thickest head with my Lilith IS a bit gross.
“Lil, what are you doing?” Gabriel pushes his grumpy face into our little circle, “I thought you hate this bitch?”
Me and Aurora look at each other, and Lilith closes her eyes with a desperate look, and takes a deep breath before she puts on a restraining smile: “Sorry, give me one minute.”
We know what that means.
Aurora and I both take a step back, away from Lilith and Gabriel. Aurora pulls me back further and covers me with her body as she whispers: “Not for you, for the little one in you who is going to call me auntie.” Who needs a cold–blooded family when you have loyal friends like this? I smile at Aurora, exclaiming at how blind I have been in my mind.
“Let me make something clear,” Lilith puts on her “harmless and polite” smile, facing Gabriel.
Gabriel gives her a silly grin, and the next second Lilith grabs his arm, and puts it on her shoulder, a swift turn and thud! Gabriel flew through the air and landed on the floor in front of Lilith with his butt.
A suplex is one of Lilith’s icon moves.
“Now, listen carefully.” With an intimidating smirk, Lilith bends over Gabriel, who is groaning in pain on the floor, “number one, I have nothing to do with you, period! And number two, Scarlett is my baby sister, and I don’t care if you so much as shooting a wrong look in her direction, I will kick your dumb ass if you ever dare to upset one of MINE, got it?!”
