Chapter 76 The Choice

• With her head down, Mara paced up and down in her room, wringing her hands from time to time, showing how helpless she was. She just did not know what to do to get herself a perfect solution for this issue. She had not told Leo anything about what her father had told her. And she had no intention to do so. If she was to tell him about it, she would also have to let him know her decision, and right now, she had not decided anything and neither could she imagine herself even telling Leo that she could never be his wife. It was absolutely impossible!
• Even she could not imagine a world where she would not be his lovely wedded wife. Since the day she met him, she had been consistently dreaming of this, and now that the opportunity had finally come, would she just sit down and let it fly past her just like that? Without fighting hard for it? The thought of another woman getting married to Leo and raising kids with him nearly made her run mad with anger. Impossible! She would never sit back and let such a thing happen. But what could she do? If she left him, he would surely go be with someone else. There were countless women out there looking for men like this. They would snap him up in minutes!
• The only other option she had was to make her father change his mind, but that option was not even available anymore. She had tried once to use it and had found that it was completely useless. The headstrong man would not even think of budging. Obviously, there was a strong grudge between himself and Leo's family; one that he could not forgive, no matter how much he was pleaded with.
