Relationships Torn

"M-mom?" Ariana stuttered as she gawked at Lady Zula. "I'm sorry honey it looked like your grandmother used her authority to get the Remo's to agree to your engagement. They even made Cayden prove his was worthy and sincerity for the engagement since he broke his previous engagement. He was severly beaten and almost disowned because of the shame he brought but your grandmother wouldn't let them have their way with him." Lady Zula explained.

Ariana started to shiver. Cayden's long term absence was all her fault. She couldn't imagine what kind of torture they put Cayden through. She slowly brought up her arms and hugged herself, trying her best to stop her body from trembling. "If grandmother did all that how was our engagement broken? We didn't even have a announcement pary." Ariana asked.
