Amara hesitated, but after a few seconds, she admitted. “I was a fool. I should have listened to Grandfather and divorced Tobias. Then, everything wouldn’t have been a total disaster.”
Lorenzo’s eyes softened. “Amara,” He whispered and got up. Seconds later, he had pulled her up and into a warm hug and caressed her hair. “It’s never too late to change the mistakes you made. And this isn’t one of them. You’re still young, you’re a genius, and most importantly, you’re a Crawford. So stop worrying about what might have been and focus on what can be.”
Amara felt tears gather at the corners of her eyes as she heard her brother’s encouraging words and she nodded her head, agreeing to them.
“Thank you Lorenzo.”
She said and was about to hug him back when she was suddenly ripped away from her brother.
She was spun around and came face to face with a fuming Tobias.
“What the-,” She barely finished her words when her wrist was grabbed and she was pulled closer to a furious Tobias.
“We are leaving, now.”
His tone was cold, so cold that it made her blood freeze in her veins and she had to use all her will power not to flinch.
She was about to pull her hand out of his grasp, but Lorenzo had her pulled her back and out of his hold.
“Who the hell do you think you are, grabbing her like that.” He hissed and stood before her, shielding her from Tobias who did not look pleased by this.
He stepped forward and Lorenzo had to admit how tall he was. “Her husband. It would do you well to remember that the next time you want to meet up and get physical with my wife, publicly.”
Saying this, he reached forward and grabbed Amara’s hand once again. Lorenzo was about to react, but the look his sister gave him told him not to and he remained still, watching as the two headed towards the exit.
As they made their way out, Amara turned back to give Lorenzo an apologetic look, mouthing the word ‘Sorry.’ Before deciding to face the situation she was in.
“Let me go, Tobias.” She ordered, attempting to free her hand. “You have no right to grab me like that, especially not after all you’ve done.”
“Oh, and you think your actions are any better, hmm?” He scoffed. “Slandering Celestine, posting those photos on the internet, ignoring my calls, are you asking for me to fucking punish you or what?”
