The torture, abuse, and trauma she faces in thy house make her get pregnant with Oscar, just to be free from her stepmom's narcissistic behavior, and people's wrong impressions made her leave a life of visioness and meaningless that led to her divorce.

With all her experiences, and all the torture she received from Sara her stepmom. She wouldn't want to face the same trauma in her marriage.

Previously, before Amira walked out of her engagement party. She and her boyfriend, Allen often plan their futures together. They discussed everything from their wedding plans to how the proposal should go. But after her first public proposal to her ex-husband, Oscar. She was terrified by the thought of having another public proposal, And she walked out of her engagement party after learning her fiance had planned one for her, Despite their plans not to surprise her with a public proposal.

When Amira's birthday celebrations rolled around. She figured out something was up, as they planned to meet at a restaurant for her birthday, unknowing to her that her fiance had planned to pop the question in front of everyone in the restaurant.

"Baby, it is true what am hearing? But I told you I don't want a public engagement. Why do this to me?" She lamented.

"Yea baby, I just wanna surprised you." He retorted without wasting time.

The shocking tale worsened her fears when her boyfriend told her he'd reserved the entire restaurant for 85 people. Amira was stunned, as she felt betrayed when people start pouring in.

"This wasn't our plans baby. Am sorry, I can't, but if you promised not to propose in front of everyone here, I will." Amira affirmed as she whispered into her boyfriend ear hastily, with tears rolling down her eyes.

"I understand baby, but I told some people, and those words got around and they were now expecting a grand gesture proposal. I gat no choice, otherwise, I wouldn't have wasted everyone's time and money coordinating and getting them down here for us." He said while frowning.

Amira was shocked and lost for words, as they both agreed never to have a public proposal. She became disturbed as they stood motionless looking at each other.

"Don't push me, baby. Because If you insist on doing this in this way that made me uncomfortable, I gat no choice." She reacted immediately while tears rolled down her eyes.

"I understand you completely now. But you're ungrateful because we both know you could easily say yes to my proposal. After all, any other woman would kill for a boyfriend, who would go through the toughest of ways to make a grand gesture proposal." He said while pouting and Amira walk out of the restaurant with a smirk on her face.

The shocking tale came to light when Amira called her childhood friend Charlotte explaining why she walked out of her engagement party, leaving her boyfriend surrounded by their family and friends. And people have been left stunned by her decision not to have a public proposal.

"Good evening Amira." Olivia saluted as she came to visit Amira to convey her situation, as she believed, Amira gats a better experience when it comes to marriage and divorce.

Amira was sitting on the balcony late evening taking some fresh air, reviving her perception when a knock came hard on the door, and before she could answer it was pushed open.

Amira was surprised to see Olivia in her house late evening.

"Wow, it's nice to see you again dear. Please come in" She gestured to her to come in.

Amira and Olivia live in a neighborhood right from a child. They attended the same school growing up as a child.

"I believe I had a related issue just like yours Amira. I wanna know why you walked out of your engagement party mid-last year and some of the experience you have when it comes to marriage and divorce?" Olivia asks abruptly and her face soars.

Amira was stunned but not as stunned as you may think because everyone knows about her stories. The damage that leads to her divorce.

Walking away from her engagement party meant exchanging the delights of a bride for the embarrassment of a deserter. Amira felt that It was better to walk away from her engagement party than to be abused and humiliated in front of everyone.

Amira sighed and turned to face her while smiling.....

"Whatever is the reason that makes you not to attend your proposal occasion. Whatever the reason may be, belief is the best, and don't leave a life of regret. If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present" Amira reacted and Olivia smiled.

"I never attended my engagement party. I love my fiance and believe he's the one God has bestowed on me, but he goes against my choice." Olivia affirmed.

Amira signed hastily as a series of contemplation ran through her head.

"I don't wanna face any challenges in my marriage. Because my fiance said I have to tender a public apology before he could accept and chill out again with my preference." Olivia said instead of smiling, she was smirking.

Amira sigh hurriedly and flipped her hair over her shoulder.

"I believe we have some similarities, but I wouldn't want you to go through my experiences." Amira gestured and Olivia snickered and flipped her hair over her shoulder.

Olivia is a young and desperate girl who dreamed of getting married to her boyfriend, but she was adamant and skeptical, as she felt her choices in the marriage won't be accepted by her boyfriend. And she felt, she wouldn't tolerate that which may lead to divorce after marriage, and she skipped her engagement party and left her boyfriend humiliated.

But Olivia had every intention of saying yes to her boyfriend's proposal, but she doesn't like being put on the spot or being made to feel obligated to say yes. And she made it clear to her fiance that she would hate a public proposal. As the very idea gives her hives and makes her queasy with anxiety, as she never wants a public proposal.

While Amira was scared of having another public proposal with Allen, as the reason why she walk out of her engagement party. Because she felt she won't be able to face such a proposal after her first experience.

Amira and Olivia had similar incidents. Amira walked out of her engagement party, while Olivia ignored her public proposal. And her fiance said he won't consider proposing again until she makes an apology to his family and friends for embarrassing him and he promises to chill out about her preference in the future if she concurs. But Olivia hate it because she felt her fiance knew she would have preferred something more private and romantic just as planned than a public proposal.

It becomes wary to Olivia and when she seak for advice from friends, some suggested she should end the relationship following the argument. While some said, she should rethink the marriage proposal because the marriage should be about her, but he's making it about himself. "He made a decision to propose to you in a way he knew would make you miserable, then tried to manipulate you into it. Now, he's punishing you for not doing it."

Another of her colleagues said. "Do you really want to marry a guy who completely disregarded what you wanted and now blames you for his embarrassment?"

Olivia was traumatized by all this and she couldn't contemplate not knowing what to do. As the reason why she visited Amira, as they both have similar experiences.

"Am going to tell you something about my best friend Freya. She ignored my text messages 3 hours before her wedding, 6 months ago. She's currently facing traumatic abuse from her partner, and she filed for divorce 2weeks ago, and her husband wasn't ready to sign the divorce papers.
