Sebastian curled an arm around Ava’s waist. "You’re damn lucky to be rid of him, look how violent he is; he could’ve hurt you,"

"He wouldn’t!" She yelled, and heading for the door, turned to Sebastian with every ounce of the anger and confusion and loss she felt, saying, "The only one I want to be rid of is you!
