"I only know that Alex and his mother are my reverse scale, Amaya. I would not bear it if they would be harmed in any way." his eyes gouged her every expression but Amaya did not have any reaction except longing.
"I will wait till you will add my name with them, Alric." she whispered softly as she walked closer and placed her hand on his chest. "I have loved you since childhood. You have no one you love, so give me a chance!"
Alric closed his eyes. She was not wrong, she had been chosen by his family too. It would be a strategic marriage. Her family is the biggest pharmaceuticals in the country and he had a chain of hospitals. It is a good proposal overall. But he felt like insects were crawling on his skin when she was touching him. He pushed her away unconsciously.
She looked shocked by his reaction and her eyes dimmed.
"Amaya.." he hesitated but she lowered her head and sighed.
