AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

Let me go!!!

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

Why do I have to put up with you always

I'm angry

Very angry

I've never felt angry like this in a while. I can't even remember when I was this angry

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

Why did I have to listen when I could've just resisted and keep your antics away from me

Oh, I do now. It was when I was told that my betrothed was him and that he was coming after my hand in marriage.

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

*tries to hold her down with a scared eye and trembling voice

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

I .I'm. Sorry. I don't know what I did wrong

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

*push him away*

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

you did everything. You fûcking did everything to me

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

I didn't have to go through all these if you'd have let me go and just leave. I didn't have to be miserable as I am today

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

I regret ever trying to make it work

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

Just what did I do?

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

Haven't I tried enough?

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

If that's your definition of trying enough, then you need to go back to preschool

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

*look at him with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face*

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

let's divorce

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

*freezes in place*

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

I said it. let's divorce before I go crazy from this shît called marriage

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

you've had what you needed now let me go

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

I..I won't. you're married to me *shouts* you're my wife!!!

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

*chuckles*

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

If I was your wife, why did you make me miserable?

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

*shocked*

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

You trapped me in this cage you called marriage and just let me be there, gazing at your back and only feeling the cold hand of this so called marriage

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

I'm sick and tired of it

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

*walk to her and grab her hand*

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

Snap out of it. you're crazy and you're saying crazy talks

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

you're the one driving me crazy

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

*shouts*

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

I hate this marriage. Let me go SEVERUS

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

I want OUT

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

I won't do that. I'm not gonna let you go

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

We already have Artena. Even if I want to, I won't do it

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

*slump to the floor with an angry look and a boiling blood*

I can taste the bland flavor of this marriage. Everything was black and white when I entered and I thought that maybe if this was my fate, I'd have to add a little colour to it to make it all work and blend together but I can't tamper with that's colour. That colour doesn't let me

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

*look up at him with desperate eyes this time*

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

Please, I beg you. Let me go

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

*flinch*

For one, I'm going to be desperate

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

Please, please let me go

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

*look at him with desperation*

- Ethan could feel it. He felt scared for the first time. He felt that he's done a lot worse damage on her even though he didn't do anything. He felt like he's the reason for her misery and the reason for her wanting to divorce. Amelia begging on her knee with tears streaming down her cheeks and the desperation she had on her face, it creates a couple of emotions that made him step back at the sudden revelation

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

I've tried haven't I? So please grant me this wish. Let me go. I don't wanna stay here anymore

-All these time he's tried to be a good husband for her, all those time he spent taking care of her and their daughter. All those memories they spent together making, were they all just a fraud?

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

D..do you love me?

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

*flinch*

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

*look away*

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

*heart stings*

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

I asked, did you ever loved me?

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

What do you think? You whisked me out of my parents house without my consent and you were hellbent. Why would I love you

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

*falls on the floor in shock*

-He felt like shît. He felt like he's the one losing. No, he felt like he lost. He lost it all. Everything came crashing down on him and everything was fading away from him

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

*laughs with scoffs in between*

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

You want to leave me that badly?

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

You're so wicked and cruel

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

*tears streamed down his eyes*

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

I thought you'd have a little feeling for me all these years but it seems like I was on a fools ride

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

You couldn't even consider for our little angel

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

you're too cruel

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

*bite her lips*

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

You have no right to call me cruel

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

You have no idea

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

You have no idea at all

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

*press his knuckles with a deep frown*

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

you can go

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

I'll arrange the divorce papers

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

*stand up*

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

Don't let me ever see you again. Ever or else

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

*flinch*

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

Yes

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

*stands up*

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

I'll come back sometime to see my daughter

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

I said don't....

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

I don't care SEVERUS. it's better you're this way but treat my daughter a little better

I'm finally getting what I deserved but I still feel like shît. Is this what married women face. I'm gonna be divorced. What will my life turn out to be?

At least, I don't get to stay in this trap anymore even if I'm being selfishly intended

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

* turn around*

AMELIA ROSALIND SEVERUS (Ethan's wife)

Give Artena a kiss for me. It'll be a while

-Ethan stared at her as she walked out of the house without turning back at all. She was really hellbent on leaving and ...this room has never been quieter and colder. It was just like how his whole life was, hollow, cold and quiet

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

*begins to cry*

ETHAN HANS SEVERUS (Amelia's husband)

Fûck you, AMELIA. you are too wicked
