Chapter Fifty Eight

Yara's Pov

The past few days had been difficult for me. I felt like I was choking and no one could see me choke. I stayed indoors, and barely ate anything and my parent's worry was not hidden.

Isla had come severally to see me but had been dismissed. She too was worried. I felt guilty for making them worry about me this much. But my parents are to be blamed.

They didn't care about my feelings. And everyone says I do not have a choice since I was betrothed to that monster at birth.

"Why could he not just take another bride?"

I was very sure they were other sirens who wanted him. Some didn't hide their distaste for me. hated me because she felt she was a better match for the king.

Isla had continuously told me how envious other families were to mine. And from all this, it was really hard for me to do otherwise.

My dreams of living in the sea were never coming to pass and so I had to come to terms with it and face my reality.
