She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

Ava's POV

Is he still the dad who spoils me when I pull little tricks on Scarlett the bitch? "For what?! She stole from ME! She wouldn't even be able to talk to Sebastian if she didn't squeeze her head into MY family! Taking her place with the Vanderbilt is just a start of getting back she owes me!" "You are not--!" Dad bursts into a shout, only to halt himself halfway before he changes into a more patient tone, "Do you seriously think that the DNA test could fool anyone? Other methods aside, Scarlett looks exactly the same as her Mom!"

"So...what? You published the news with me wearing the necklace!" I look at him in horror, not sure if I heard him right, "Everyone knows that I'm the Vanderbilt's princess now! And you want to announce that as a mistake, on my BIRTHDAY?! You will ruin me!" "It's better than letting them find out about it later," Dad says coldly.

His words freeze my heart. Does he even know what "ruin me" means? All that I have worked for in the entertainment business, gone! I can't live as the laughingstock!

"No...you can't do this to me..." I shake my head slowly, tears blurring my sight, "Then why did you even let me trick Damian in the first place?! I could have been with him! You could have just told him that you stole his sister and kept her a slave for years--" Slap!

My eyes open wide in shock. I cover my face, having a hard time waking up from my buzzing head to accept the fact that Dad just slapped me. He has never raised his hand at me once, and now he slapped me, because of this?! Dad darts his eyes away, but I see guilt flash through his eyes.

"It's better for him to think that we are trying to get you past as his sister and failed, than getting him to dig into the past," Dad says in a heavy tone, "It's important to our family, to all of us. Me, you, and your mother. Especially your mother."

I would laugh out loud if I didn't know that it would piss him off. But seriously? Mom? What does she have anything to do with any of this? This is just Dad's greed and selfishness getting out of control.

"So you decided to sacrifice me?" I ask, my voice magically calm. I knew he was selfish just like I was. Where else would I have gotten it? I have to figure something out for myself.

"Please, Ava," Dad looks at me,

resentment in his eyes, "It won't be a

big thing. Mistakes happen. The world will forget about this fast, and

rldwi

you will still be the Fuller's princess,

the one and only." FindNovel

Yeah, right. Except Scarlett will now be the Vanderbilt's princess. And everyone knows which title is worth more.

"I want to be the Vanderbilt's princess," I say, "I can make it work."

"Are you out of your m--?!"

"We have a genuine DNA test result, done with HER blood. They can take that anywhere and it would stay true. Besides, you stored enough of her blood over the years for any number of tests they can require, no?" I out with my plan. Actually, I

thought this was Dad's plan.

It should have been.

He would get as much blood out of Scarlett even if I didn't need as much, and he would store them in a secret blood bank in case I needed it. We have all that takes to rub her title. "So, everyone would know who is the girl that can keep doing the DNA tests...if she dies."

Everything will be perfect... if she is out of the picture.

"Ava Fuller! You are getting out of control!" Dad shakes his head, cutting the conversation short, "I'm not here to ask for your permission. It will be done in two days. If you have a problem with it, stay in your room and pretend to be sick. That's what you do, isn't it?"

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

I watch him shut my door behind his back, and I pull out my phone and dial the number that I have carved in my heart: "Sebastian? I think I got a fever..."All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
