106 Scarlett’s Debt
Scarlett’s POV NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
He doesn’t want me to find my real family. Of course not. He wants me to be bound to his city, to Ava, for life! And whether I’m happy or suffering in the process, he does not care.
Look at Jack Fuller’s cold face, I can’t begin to understand why he hates me so much. I’d understand it if Ava needs me. What he did wasn’t decent, but at least he did out of love for his daughter.
Why stop me now?
My blood type is rare, but it’s not like I’m the only one. Every state has its own RH–blood bank established, and ours is one of the best. So long as Ava’s demand is within the ordinary range, it won’t be a problem for a rich family like the Fullers.
So why keep me here?
“I don’t need a plan because I’m not in a hurry to find my real parents,” break the awkward silence after Adrian’s question, “Sebastian is marrying Ava, so I don’t want to be in the same city and bless my sister with my ex–husband. Is that reasonable?”
Jack Fuller narrows his eyes: “You would be willing to divorce him?”
“On the condition that you let me go, today,” I bargain.
“Why are you so stubborn all of a sudden?” Jack Fuller is losing his patience, “All these years, have I ever treated you unfairly?! You got the best school, best clothes and cars, all the things that your friends are jealous of. What’s with the wronged face as if the whole world owes you?! I raised you as my daughter, and this is how you pay me back? To see me as an enemy who is nothing but evil?!”
It’s things like this that wrong me.

All that I was given, it was made clear that it was kindness that I had to pay back. That I don’t deserve it, and I only got it because of their generosity. And everything I lack but demand, like respect from my siblings and love from my family, it’s greedy talking.
They didn’t give me a fucking family, and they can’t tolerate me to say the truth.
“You don’t owe me, but I don’t owe you either,” I take a deep breath to keep my tone steady, “You raised me, but whether as a daughter or not, you know better than anyone. I’m leaving, and you have no right to stop.
me.”
“You-”
“You bitch! How could you say such hurtful things to Daddy?!” Ava’s shrill suddenly cuts into the battlefield. I didn’t even notice when she joined us.
Mom came, too. She stands on the side, frowning as she tries to pull Ava to her side. Ava swings her off, angry like a little lion defending her dear father. And the father stands there with a sorrowful face.
I look around, and I see judging eyes from all around.
Again I’m the evil bullying this nice family. Again I’m the unreasonable making a scene.
“I just want my own family,” I ignore Ava, nailing my eyes on Mom, keeping my shaking voice as stable as I can, “I just want a family that can spare me some love. Is that so horrible…Mom?”
“Don’t you dare talk to Mom! Didn’t you hurt her enough last time when you lash out at her?!” Ava charges up and tries to push me, but Adrian blocks in front of me and she halts at a distance.
She backs a step and raises her voice for the whole crowd: “MY parents.

raised you for twenty years, got you a luxurious car, a full closet of expensive clothes of brands! And now you claim that they were never your parents?! Then pay up! Pay the millions of dollars you owe!”
I fucking have enough of her act!
“I do NOT fucking owe you a cent!” I clench my teeth, feeling a flame burning fiercely in my chest, “All these years I donated blood for you because ‘that’s what family do‘, if anything, YOU owe ME! The bully and the bone marrow aside, just the blood I have given your daughter over these years, counting by a low average of ten times a year, it mounts to TWO fucking hundred times! That’s 80000cc blood that you can’t buy easily with money, not to mention all the times my blood pulled her back from death! So stop telling me that I owe a stupid fucking debt, and just fucking let me go!”
“You would have died if I didn’t take you back,” Jack Fuller’s cold, calm voice rocks my world way harder than Ava’s shout, “So yes, you do owe me, a lot.”
