Bethany fell silent after what Amara had said, not because she didn’t have what to say, but rather because much like Amara’s failed marriage, Bethany’s didn’t end in a good light either.
“You’re right, it’s not. Marriage is complicated and most times, I regret ever having gotten married, but then again, if I had never done it, I wouldn’t have been able to experience the happiness and freedom I have now.”
“Happiness and freedom,” Amara repeated, her mind drifting to her when she had been married to Tobias.
She couldn’t recall a moment where she had ever been free. Sure, she had deceived herself into thinking she was happy but at some point, the happiness faded and the situation’s true color came to light.
She wasn’t happy, just miserable, in the worst way possible.
And it was all because of Tobias’s love.
Thinking about it now, made her want to laugh, in fact, thinking about her actions in the past, made her want to laugh.
What a stupid and naïve girl she had been.
“Talk about mood killing.” Bethany signed, noticing how the mood had gone from sky high to rock bottom.
“It’s my fault, I apologize.”
As Bethany started the car again, she casted a look in Amara’s direction, frowning at a thought that crossed her mind. “Did he make you apologize all the time? Cos I don’t see any reason for you to be apologizing now.”
Amara didn’t need to think for answer, but she still did. “…yes, a lot.”
Bethany sighed. “That scumbags.” She couldn’t believe that Tobias was more different than the image he showed in public.
