°~Amara's P.O.V°~

I left the prison angry and broken still doubting that Nathan could do such to me.

My pillow was wet with tears as I cried my eyes out till evening.

I curled up in my bed, didn't want to move or get out of it.
It felt like my world had come crashing down.

How could he?
I kept asking myself.

My phone kept ringing , but I wouldn't pick.
It was Damilare.

I didn't want to see anyone nor hear anyone speak, I wanted to be alone left in the silence of my house.

It was 8pm and I finally came downstairs.

Looked at myself in the mirror and my eyes were swollen .
I looked like a mess from long hours of crying.

My head ached and I wanted it to stop.

I made myself coffee and sat down, staring blankly at the television while all that filled my head were thoughts about Nathan.

How he was doing and how hard he must be hitting on himself.

I still cared much about him ,but I couldn't let this anger slide.

What a sour birthday gift I must have gotten from him?

I was to turn 47 the next day, but from the turn of events, I already knew how my day would go.

The door bell rang.

"Why can't I just have my peace?" I moaned lowly almost crying.

"Who's there?" I asked slowly.

"It's me, Dami" he said , his voice low.

I could tell how worried he must have been.

"Hey " I muttered leaning on the door as I watched him blankly.

"Are you okay?" He asked as he touched my forehead.

I nodded.

"No you are not, you look a mess!" He said walking behind me.

"I'm fine,just a little fever" I said as I sat on the long couch.

"You are sick when tomorrow's your day?"

"You look like you've been crying your eyes out, what's wrong?" He asked.

"Did anything happen?" He added raising my bent head up to meet his eyes.

"Nothing, I'm just sick" I said looking away.

"Come here" he said, pulling me slightly to his embrace.

I held him tight as I blinked out the tears that were forming again.

"Your body is really hot,sure you don't need to see a doctor?" He asked still holding me, his jaw on my head as he patted me slowly on my back.

I shook my head and he sighed, rubbing my back like I was a kid.

"How about your kids?" I asked in almost a whisper.

"I was about to go pick them up from a colleague's son's party .
I decided to drop by because I was worried about you" he said.

"I called 25 times and you didn't pick" he said worried.

"My bad" I muttered.

He looked at me and smiled.

I just scuffed ,closing my eyes to his embrace.
