A stunned silence followed. "Sir, there's no need to do that. Amara's mother passed away the other day, on your wedding day. I'll send you the grave's location."

The color drained from Adrian's face. Shame washed over him as his gaze met mine. His lips trembled as he said, "What did you say, Joseph?"

Mia gasped in the corner, she glanced at me without remorse, she even looked surprisingly happy.

"Sir, I've already sent you the grave's location. I'm truly sorry for your loss, Sir."

Adrian slowly lowered the phone, his face etched with shock and horror.

"Amara..." He whispered my name.

I was about to walk away but he stopped me, he said, “I didn’t know...”

I slapped his face, “Of course, you didn’t know. Mia needed you that day, right?!”

He pursed his lips, lowered his gaze, “I’m truly sorry for what happened to your mother...”

“Do you even know the reason why she died?!” My voice cracking as I stare at him in the eyes. “It was your fault! You killed her!”
