Chapter 29

" Mother, come on... I told you I needed time."

I said trying to make it a little respective cause trust me it wasn't meant to be.

"Listen here Aphile, I tried to talk to your father. He is just too stubborn. After he heard what you were both planning he went straight to Austin and broke off the alliance."

That's mom shouting I almost forgot I am angry

"But mother, why is he so eager to get me married. Why is he in such a hurry?" The tears roll down my face my voice becoming hoarse

"Don't cry dear, it won't change anything. You are getting married next month. So do us a favor, come back home soon!" She said harshly making me flinch.

"So me getting married, will make everyone happy?" I ask, it is hard to believe I am crying

"Yes dear, it will make everyone happy", she said as if this was just a rash that would disappear as time went by

From where I am sitting I can see Xavier's jaws clenching. His hand is in a tight fist. Is he angry?
