NovelEnglish219 Omen Feeling "So...you really trust this... Silco?" Lilith asks Scar with her eyes still on Alice, who's just a few inches away, laughing on the carousel as it runs around.
Spent most of her life on a private island, entertainment parks are like miracle lands to Alice. And the bright smile on her chubby little face makes it so hard for Lilith to say no. Not that she wants to anyway: It's the best chance to get Scar to spend twith Alice.
Johnny Vanderbilt wanted to take Alice back to his city after Scar went to prison. Knowing how Scar felt about Damian, Lilith chose to help Sebastian and took Alice to hide on a private island Sebastian got under Granny's maiden name. At least this way Alice gets to grow up with her father. The plan worked well at first.
Sebastian narrows his work days to 2 in the office, moving most of his work online and spending all five days on the island with them. For quite a long tAlice thought Lilith was her mom, and Lilith didn't put in a real effort to correct her - you don't tell a kid that the only close person who takes care of their life is not their mom, especially when the real mom wasn't there to fill the hole.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut later when Alice started to understand things, Sebastian started to talk about "Alice's mom" to Lilith for Alice to hear here and there. Soon the concept that Lilith wasn't Alice's mom becmore acceptable to Alice, until finally, she asked about it herself. It wasn't easy, but it was as soft as that hit can get. Alice cried at first, confused about the absence of her mom, but she accepted it rather well under one condition: Lilith was to take her to find her real mom.
Sebastian didn't like that idea, nor did he like that line of questioning. Lilith didn't know whether it was because he didn't want to bring the concept of "prison" into Alice's life, or because he knew he would lose Alice if Scar ever found out.
Lilith wished it wouldn't be the latter, but she didn't dare to risk it. Scar was, is, and will remain her priority if Lilith ever has to choose between her or any other people.
That was when Lilith started putting her guard up against Sebastian, and that was when Johnny Vanderbilt got in touch.
He had been looking for Alice none-stop, and Sebastian helped him get over the hardest task: earning Lilith's trust.
It was Johnny Vanderbilt who transferred Scar back to the state prison of his own city, and very soon after that transferring her into a health facility he basically purchased for her, to provide a more comfortable environment. He tried to visit once, and never pushed Scar on that after she rejected, so Scar never knew about any of these. This was what convinced Lilith to have a try with Johnny Vanderbilt.
The two days that Sebastian couldn't be on the island, Lilith would get on the private jet of Johnny Vanderbilt to Scar. Vanderbilt hired a whole team evaluating Scar's physical, and especially mental condition. To shorten the technical and scientific stuff: Scar can't take huge mood wave anymore, physically.
That's the decision to keep the truth about Alice away from her.
But as much as they tried to plan, think, and evaluate for Scar, none of them saw the miracle coming when Alice met Scar- Never even considered the possibility of Alice being hers, Scar loved Alice with all her heart and somehow healed a bit just by being around Alice. But what's even more perplexing? Alice never asked to look for her real mom again either.
It was as if they both found what they were looking for in each other, without knowing the bond between them shared by blood.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two years were happy for Scar and Alice, sure. But it was nowhere near easy. As much as Alice reduced the frequency of Scar's episodes they weren't exactly all gone. The last two years felt like an eternity even to Lilith, and she could?" imagine what a dark hell Scar was trapped in before that.
Scar wouldn't be able to heal to the point where she is okay to cback to the city that broke herinta pieces for her revenge if not for Alice. And Lilith actually thought that now she's back to the city officially with Alice, and Scar is doing a lot better, maybe they are close to telling Scar about Alice. But Scar cwith that man.
Silco.
No one seems to know his identity, not even Johnny Vanderbilt, the man who Lilith thought who was rich and powerful to pull off anything.
She's not sure whether it's safe to expose Alice in front of this man. She has an omen feeling about him...for En reasons unknown.
