Chapter 115: Nipping her chin
Flora stood by the window of the room and looked at the dark night sky. She touched her neck and caressed the mark that Alex gave to her.
’How am I going to live? The promises he gave me were nothing but a mirage in the desert. He wanted to put the entire blame on me and present me as the culprit to everyone. I seriously thought he loved me.’
Samyra’s hand rested on Flora’s shoulder and she turned her head while lowering her hand to her side. "Mom, what if the truth hasn’t come to light? Would I have been dead?"
"We wouldn’t have let it happened," Samyra said.
"If Zander had not helped you run away, the princes hadn’t saved Dad, then everything would have ended. Amelie wouldn’t have believed me either," Flora murmured as fear gripped her heart.
"How could she even believe you? It still hurts me that you eyed a man she was dating. My entire family has been ripped apart. My husband was going to lose his life last night. And Amelie... We did dirty with her. Even if I beg forgiveness from her everyday, it will be less," Samyra said, once again tears blurring her vision.
"Mom, I didn’t know Alex was like that. He didn’t want Amelie in his life. He didn’t tell me Amelie was pregnant with his child," Flora muttered. "I did nothing. Please convince Prince Gabriel not to punish me," she urged while grabbing her mother’s hands.
"Why didn’t you tell us Amelie was on run that night? You are still hiding your faults, Flora." Samyra pulled back her hands. "Embrace whatever punishment awaits you."
Flora clenched her fists hard. She didn’t wish to argue with her mother, so she simply leaned against the window, thinking of a way to appease Amelie.
