Amari laughed bitterly, though there was fire in her eyes, and turned directly to Louissa
"Did I just hear you say I should apologize?"
Louissa shook her head frantically, tugging at Ailleen's hand in a desperate attempt to pull her cousin away from confrontation. Yet, no matter how hard she tried, Louissa's strength faltered, while Amari stood firmly, immovable as a mountain.
The tense exchange made Amari's lips curl in disdain. Her voice was sharp, each word carrying a wound meant to sting.
"During the years of my marriage, you couldn't stop contacting my husband—your so-called ex-husband. You always had reasons to reach out, always appearing where he was. And when that wasn't enough, you would send me pictures of the two of you together. Tell me, Louissa, do you truly believe you deserve an apology from me?"
