Jude swallowed really hard
"So the marriage was a weapon for you?", he asked slowly
"Yes", Scarlett replied
His chest tightened instantly
"You wanted it to be a weapon to bring me out of the world where I was an escort but I guess I used it as a weapon for revenge", she added
He looked down carefully
"I really thought...…"
He stopped as Scarlett waited
Jude shook his head slightly
"Forget it", he said
"No, say what you wanted to say", she insisted
He looked at her carefully
"I thought you chose me as every woman in the country would have"
Scarlett's expression changed slightly
"But I chose you", she said
"How? By choosing me as your pathway to revenge?"
She remained silent
"I don't even understand all of this", he added
"I could have chosen Violet or even Grandma Magdalene", Scarlett said
"So why me?"
She looked away briefly
"You don't understand, do you?"
