Scarlett’s POV
His men haste up their steps and surround us, all in straight faces with their eyes hiding behind cold. sunglasses,
“...Adrian...?” My voice is shaking.
“Take the tickets,” Adrian puts them in my hand, standing in front of me, “You will be okay. Nobody can touch
you today, so long as I'm here.”
“Mr. Dunn,” Jack Fuller nods at Adrian with a smile, “Fancy seeing you here.”
“l guess | can say the sto you,” Adrian blockswith his body, “Where are you traveling to, Mr. Fuller, if |
may ask?”
Jack Fuller curves his lips scornfully, but then he answers tamely: “North Dakota.”
My stomach drops. He is here for me, and he knows what I'm up to. | knew he was crafty with a black heart, and |
just watched how he tamed Ava. But still. Never have | been more frightened by this man | once called Dad than
at this moment.
| feel like | could never get out of his grasp.
“Scarlett, chwith me,” Jack Fuller took a side step, looking atright in my eyes, “This is for your own
good, trust me.”
| won't, never again.
I'm actually surprised that when it comes to it, we can have such a calm conversation about it: “Ava is all but
cured. Please, you don’t needanymore.”
For a moment there, | thought | saw semotion in his eyes, something soft and gentle: “Scarlett, I'm not
doing this just for Ava. What you are looking for is not in North Dakota.”

“You foundthere, | know!” | insist. | normally don’t believe Ava, but if Jack Fuller rememb her slip of the
tongue for so many years, then it definitely means something.
Jack Fuller signs, and the next moment, all the warmth in his eyes is gone.
“What you are looking for does not exist,” He says, his voice cold as ice.
What does that even mean?! I'm looking for my real parents who would love me. I'm looking for a hthat
sheltersbecause of me, not for my blood or sweat or any value | might provide. Even such a request does
not exist? What does not exist? Only Ava deserves love, and | don’t?!
My brain sounds the alarm but | refuse to listen. Adrian shootsa worried look, and | dart my eyes
away.
I'm looking for a fresh start,” | don’t believe him, not even a word, and there is no point arguing with him, If you
really care about my welfare as you said, then you should letbe.”
Jack Fuller grits his teeth, so hard that his face twists. Normally this means he is really, really angry. | used to
shiver at that look when | was little, but I'm not the little orphan girl that he could bully with the
title of “father” anymore! He is NOT my father! | want MY father, a father who would really care about me!

“Do you really have to do it this hastily? You don’t even know where to look. How about you chome, and
make a sound plan first?”
| hesitate. Is he, Jack Fuller, the dominant patriarch in the family really making a compromise to me? If budge,
could | really keep up a harmonious surface in the “family” and live my life in peace?
“If I make a plan first, then you would letgo?” | ask him with an uncertain tone.
“Yes, I-" Jack Fuller nods, but Adrian suddenly cuts in-
“What a huge difference does it make if she stays in the city for a few days longer?”
