Amara almost fell as she jumped out of his car as soon as it stopped infront what she had come to call her home for the past six months. This was her chance to get away form Tor, who she still had difficulty understanding why or when he turned into the monster he was seeing today. Tor was always gentle, kind, loving and forgiving but not the man she met today. To her relief her fiancé was in the house with her year old son in his arms.

" He's here and he's trying to take me back. Call the police and _ wait why are all my bags here?"

Just as she noticed her bags and before they could answer her, Tor came in with his men and they began taking the bags. Ethan gave Tor his son before rushing upstairs and immediately returning with the twins. Amara was further confused,her twins were supposed to be in school and why was Ethan giving them to Tor so easily. After everything he knew, he was supposed to protect her, not look away like he was currently doing as she pleaded to him for his help.

" Ethan what the hell is going on!?"

" I_ I'm sorry Amara."

" What the hell are you apologizing for?We're getting married in a few months, you cannot let him take me! You said you loved me and would protect me, Ethan!"

" How sweet but love also has a price dear Ama-"

" Tor shutup!"

He chuckled.

" E, thank you for taking care of my family and you'll get the contract as early as tomorrow. It was nice doing business with you."

He said walking out with his children and the two men who were left behind while the rest were packing his family's stuff in the car.

" Business?, what? Ethan what's going on?"

" I'll explain to you on the way back home-"

" Leave me Tor. Su?"

Susan, her nanny followed after him with her head bowed. Leaving her shocked with his last words swimming in her head. While Ethan avoided looking at her. She recalled that he had said something about his businesses having a hard time staying afloat since the pandemic hit.

" So when you cam home happy to have found an investor three weeks ago, you were talking about him?-"

" Baby I'm-"

" You basically sold our relationship to him."

" It's nothing personal."

" We're in a relationship, it is personal!"

" Amara I didn't want-"

" I thought you loved us!?"

" I did. I do but I-"

" You love money more."

" Amara I'm really really sorry. I had no choice but to save my family's legacy-"

" There's always a choice Ethan and I hope your family legacy helps you sleep better at night."

Once again she was used by a man she thought loved her and she could not believe that she ever fell for either of them. Tor smiled at her as she climbed into the car but she did not smile back and tried to take back her hand from his grip. Which he had taken when she sat down. Her children sat opposite them happily chatting to their father oblivious to what was going on between them. Tor was happy to have his family back and hoped that she would one day understand that he did it for love.
