Yours, Forever

She whispered as a lone tear escaped from her eyes. "He too had promised me that he will always be there and even after leaving him he still haunts me. How can I promise you the future you dream of? I can't, I can't when my past hasn't ended yet."

Hearing that bastard's name from her mouth gave Ezra a surge of anger. "Then let's end his chapter together! Let's agree to the Commissioner's plan." Ezra asks her with hope, he is afraid Scarlett is scared of marrying him. She should be, because it's not even a year since she left her horrible marriage.

Scarlett shoots him a glare. "Do you want me to risk the only good thing that has happened in my life, Ezra?"

Ezra was taken aback hearing her outburst. Right now he's confused if Scarlett is sad or angry because she's crying as well as fuming with anger. "Scarlett, even if we don't comply with his plan, that bastard will find a way to kidnap you again!"
