Chapter 65: Confused And Disoriented
"What are you blabbering?" she asked as he took a deep breath and fixed his suit. He knew he had overstepped and he sheepishly looked around knowing he screwed up.
"You don’t know?" he was surprised. "He made his brother brain dead and his family kept Raymond alive using machines just to keep their golden child off prison...! See! He is not a good person, Talia. If he can have the heart to kill his own brother, what else he won’t do?"
Talia felt her head spinning hearing all that.
Wasn’t Ray arrested and he killed himself in prison? What is this hypocrite saying?
Could it be the truth?
Talia felt her stomach hurting as she couldn’t digest all the informations burning inside her mind. She just wanted to get out of there and empty her stomach.
"What do you really want, Edward? I really don’t understand. At first you said you would like to confer Arthur with some title so he’d be of match to me, the Princess but then you want me to renounce my title and divorce Arthur... And now you are saying Arthur killed his brother... How does any of these make sense? " she shook her head seeing him standing there silent.
Why? He wanted to make her feel ashamed for being married to some commoner and he couldn’t resist mocking Arthur. He also wanted to test her feelings for Arthur and that’s why he brought up the title. But it is fairly obvious she is in love with him.
" It doesn’t matter, Talia... Just return back... Take this as me begging.... Just return..." his sapphire blue eyes shimmered in those warm chandelier light like deep sea and with slighy trembling hands, he tried to hold her shoulder.
Come back... Or they’ll kill you.
"I’m not returning, Edward," Talia took a step back avoiding his hand.
