Amara, under Elijah’s constant insistence, was driven home by him that night.The ride home was quiet, but the constant glances and hand gestures from Elijah made sure it wasn’t awkward, but that didn’t stop Amara’s mind from roaming.She had made a decision, one she thought at first, would be best for everything, but later realized, was best for only her.She only had herself in mind when making that decision. A selfish step, she acknowledged late and could do nothing about it now.Hopefully, she prayed, at some point, she’d be able to fully accept Elijah’s feelings and grow to want a family and future with him, that’s the only way this decision she made, won’t boomerang on her.Right now, as things stood, with the flickering feelings she wasn’t confident to act on, she was sure all this would end a disaster…for Elijah at least. And that, she didn’t want.“Amara,” The sound of Elijah’s voice pulled her out of her thoughts. She looked up and realized that they had arrived at the Crawf
‘There was nothing more ironic than sitting alone at a wide marble table facing a pile of leftovers, while your husband was having fun with his lover on the day of your 6th wedding anniversary.’Amara's heart was weeping. Amara felt her heart cold as the food before her at this moment. She once believed her husband would at least remember his duty on this special day, but it shattered as she received the photos from her private investigator.He and his mistress were having a candle dinner beside the floor-to-ceiling window. Having the woman in his arms, he had a doting smile on his face.During the entire 6 years of their marriage, Tobias had never for once shown her that soft smile of his. He always treated her with a cold and serious expression. I knew our marriage had not begun with love, but a contract. However, from the first moment I met him as a teenager, he took my heart.Tobias William Larsen, a household name in this country. In addition to his excellent look, his intelligent
“What?” Amara finally managed to ask, after a long silence between them. She hoped what she heard before was only some trick played on her by her mind.“You heard me. Now that Grandfather is no longer here I think it’s time we get a divorce.” Tobias answered without missing a beat. “And don't forget, you brought it up first.”Tears streamed down her face and Amara felt hard to breathe. Yes, she mentioned divorce and Grandfather's will in that text message. If they end up divorcing, Amara could get half of his property.But actually, the property was never what Amara wanted. She even planned to return it to him if one day Tobias did find someone worth spending his life with. She just couldn't sit and watch Gustavo's legacy being tainted by someone like Celestine. So she wanted Tobias back and to talk with him.She did choose some words to irritate Tobias on purpose and she had been prepared to take on his wrath. But as soon as he came back, he rode her. He melted her with his dominance.
“The family business…” Amara muttered, laughing herself bitterly.Well, a powerful Family Group was awaiting her back to manage yet she kept delaying it for someone who wasn't worthy of her love at all.What did Tobias call her? A gold digger? If only he knew what family name she was born to have. The Crawford owed business everywhere in this world. If it weren't for the unexpected shipwreck, her fate would never have intersected with Tobias'.Why should she keep on the wrong way? It was time to back home.Seating into the black GMC Yukon, Amara picked up the call from her grandfather, Elvis Crawford.“Grandfather, good evening.” She politely greeted, dipping her head subtly even though the man couldn’t see her.“Evening Amara,” the old man asked directly. “Have you finally decided to stop playing house?”"Yes," Amara replied firmly, carrying the tone of an elite who had been trained by the finest tutors."I'll divorce Tobias Larsen and back home soon. But I have a request, I want mor
At the center of the dance floor was a familiar figure, dressed in a provocative black dress, swaying her hips to the rhythm of the music while laughing at the attention her current dance partner, a male in his late twenties, was showering her with.Even though she looked noticeably different, seductive, alluring, and far from the usual humble aura she usually gave, Tobias had no trouble recognizing her. His wife. And the longer Tobias watched HIS wife shower in the attention of another man, the more irritated he grew.“You can go on ahead.” He said without glancing at Celestine as he walked off, leaving her standing on her own.“Tob-,” Celestine was cut short, as Tobias had already walked away, his gaze focused on a particular figure, dancing on the dance floor.He wasn't aware of how fast his strides were or how harshly his fist clenched. He wasn’t aware of any of it until he found himself in front of his wife, and the man who had had his hands all over her for the past two minutes.
Tobias couldn't believe his ears.Amara, the woman who had claimed to love him for the past 6 years and always stuck to him like gum, had filed for a divorce even before he could. This fact kept disturbing him.He was the one meant to file for a divorce! And not the gentle wife he remembered!"You're really testing my patience, Amara." He threatened, eyes cold and voice colder. " you know what I'm capable of.""It's not a test, Tobias. It's a fact that is about to happen," Amara retorted, not at all intimidated by his words and demeanor."So you're sure you want to go against me, is that it?" Tobias said dangerously."What are you gonna do? Destroy me, ruin my reputation, destroy Melanie's business, or something along the lines of that?"Amara laughed coldly. Without waiting for Tobias to speak, Amara warned him."I dare you, Tobias. Try to lay even a finger on the people I hold dare and you'll see just how that'd turn out."Tobias looked at Amara's cold gaze, as if he was looking at a s
It had been several days since Amara sent the divorce paper but there was still no response. Pacing in front of the window, Amara called her attorney Philip."Hasn't Larsen signed it yet?""My apologies, Ms. Crawford," Philip sighed at the other end. "I have urged the side of Mr.Larsen but they just ignored us. I am applying for court procedures for you but we have also encountered resistance. The judge suggests that you should communicate with Mr. Larsen first."Hearing this, Amara chuckled out of anger. What was Tobias doing now? He was the first to ask for a divorce, and now she was giving him what he wanted, yet he started to obstruct her in every possible way. What's wrong with him?!!Taking a deep breath, Amara calmed herself. Since he wanted to play, she could play."I understand, Philip. I'll meet Larsen later." Amara picked up her handbag, heading to Tobias' company, Labyrinth.She had barely walked through the revolving doors when she heard a rather familiar voice ring out fr
"Toby! I need your help! Amara wants to ruin me!" Celeste suddenly called, crying frantically.Tobias immediately instructed his assistant to drive, sitting in the backseat, but the image that surfaced in his mind was of Amara. Who was she really? Why had she changed so drastically?She professed her love for him, yet swiftly moved between different men. Was she truly the vile snake that Celeste described?Whenever he thought about how desperately she wanted to divorce him and be with a sugar daddy, he couldn't help but feel enraged!Each time he thought about how eager she was to divorce him and link up with one of her sugar daddies, he couldn’t help but scoff.How bold of her. First she acted like a love sick puppy, gluing to him like he was the last man on earth, and now, she wanted to get away, ready to live whatever blissful life her sugar daddy could fund.Well, Tobias refused.He wasn’t going to let her get away with it, nor was he going to make the process of their divorce easy
