POV
Ava likes collecting men, | knew that. But to show her intention so obviously for her target to tell was not her
style. She likes to play ambiguous. After all, she was "Sebastian's girl", that's a title she would never let go of.
"May 21st..." | mumble, that was the day when Ava was thrown out by Granny, "Was that before or after Granny
threw her out? Do you remember?"
"Ohhh... | went to her when the news of your wedding cout, so definitely after," Adrian nods, rolling his
eyes, "I guess that explains it. | was shocked how she would flirt withwhen her whole heart was Sebastian's

claimed to love was not Ava, but you."
"What?!" | open my eyes wide in shock. "How did you even find out?!"
It wasn't like there was any hard evidence to find.

"But | only knew Seb was into Ava, not really knowing why until | went to talk to Ava," Adrian sighs, leaning back
into his chair as if waiting for my judgment, "and I put two and two together."
"Why didn't you tell Sebastian?" | frown in confusion, "ohh, you wanted him to be with Ava at that time." That's
really evil!
"HE wanted that!" Adrian rolls his eyes, but then he rubs his head, "But not just that...l assumed you'd know, or

"That's true..."
"I thought he would find out, and even if he doesn't, he would fall in love with you again since he did once,"
Adrian says solemnly, "I guess | cut myself out of your life because | was too dreadful to watch that happen...I'm

because | wanted his love which he wouldn't give. That was nobody's fault...probably his, but no others."
