CXLIII

IT WAS TWO MONTHS after they first met that Amethyst found out from her father that she was already engaged to Samuel's older brother, Sawyer.

The girl begged her father to change his mind, but the man refused. He's a good-- no, he's the perfect match for you, her father tells her. Sawyer can and will give you everything that you need and want, especially with how Ignacio plans to establish his acting career and have him work alongside famous directors very soon!

Amethyst's mother remained silent the entire time that her daughter was trying to change her husband's mind, her eyes focused on the scenery outside their huge mansion rather than on her family.

Maybe if Amethyst paid more attention to her mother then she would've seen their divorce coming.
