"Why can't I marry Alex?" Flora stared at her parents in disbelief. Since the day they found out the truth, they had been acting like tyrants toward her.
"Mom, are you seriously going to ruin my life because of Amelie?" she questioned with widened eyes as she took a step toward her mother.
Samyra clenched her fists. "Can't you see? Alex wanted to kill Amelie, knowing that she's pregnant. Whatever relationship you've built with him, just end it. Your father and I will never give you our approval to marry Alex," Samyra declared. Her decision was firm, and she had no intention of stepping back from it.
"Mom, why are you doing this to me? You were always so proud of me. You never once tried to stop me from pursuing my desires. Don't make me hate you the same way Amelie does. You've already lost one daughter—don't lose another," Flora stated. Her tone carried both the warning and the displeasure she felt.
