Chapter 28: The Question
Talia took a deep breath and put on a smile in her face before opening the door for Rebecca.
" Talia, You okay? What took you this long to open the door? I heard some noise. Is he here?... Did that guy do something to you? Hey what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you have left after dropping her... "
Rebecca burst like a firecracker as she got in with her big bag filled with boxes. Talia frowned seeing Rebecca kicking away her shoes aimlessly in the foyer and placing the bag in the kitchen counter, walked to Arthur who seemed to be in a trance.
" Rebecca," Talia ran behind her and caught her right before she grabbed him by the collar and pulled her inside her bedroom.
Arthur still didn’t move an inch and he seemed to be in his own thoughts.
"I’m fine, Rebecca. Don’t overreact," Talia said calmly as she locked the bedroom door and Rebecca gazed at her for some whole seconds before sitting in the comfortable bed with her legs crossed.
Talia sat beside her and there was a pin drop silence for sometime where both of them didn’t know what to say.
Talia gulped before she started. Rebecca’s been with her for nine years and all she was a best friend but she truly hid a lot from her. She needs to explain herself.
But will she change once I tell her the truth? But I will try.
"I am Talia Brunton, the heiress of Northern Star Enterprises. My mother was the only daughter of my grandpa and..."
"You are also a Princess?" Rebecca asked. Cordelia Dupont was their other roommate and she is now the Queen Consort of Rosandale. Back then in University she was yet to be married and was the Fiancée of Prince Louis of Rosandale. Back then she’d address Talia as Her Royal Highness when alone but Rebecca found out about it and Talia had to reveal the truth to her.
