Chapter 14. Guilt
Chapter 14. Guilt
•Tiffany POV •
After taking instructions from uncle I climbed upstairs. Here I am standing nervously outside his study
room. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
What should I say to him. My hands are covered in sweat. Like seriously, why should I be afraid of him.
I took a deep breath and knocked the door. His deep masculine voice came from inside which can
drove any woman go crazy. Well I don't want to compliment him but its true.
•Arthur Brown•
She lightly stepped in and slowly walk towards me and stand opposite to me. Wow this fiercy cat has
come to me by her own choice.
"Do you need anything?" I asked her in a serious voice. She is playing with her fingers, seems like she
is nervous.
"Mmm....actually ..I" for the first time she is shuttering and her voice was soft.
I raised my left eyebrow giving her a questioning look.
"Arthur could you please tell me where is my room? I want rest for sometime."
Oh I think to much. sigh.
"Other rooms are dirty you can use my room for today. Turn right and at the corner you will see a room
all alone" like me.
She smiled and was about to turn but stopped in midway and asked that question which I never want to
hear.
"By the way where is you mother. I haven't met her yet"
My blood boil in anger "Who gave you the audacity to ask me questions. I marry you that doesn't mean
that you think yourself as Mrs.Brown. You are nothing for me only a wife for name sake.
And you have nothing that will attract a man towards you. Never ever ask this question again or else
you will see real Arthur Brown. Get lost" I yelled at her.
Tears roll down her cheeks and she apologized in a feeble voice "I am sorry, next time I will remember
my place"
With that saying she left room and run away. I closed my eyes and calmed my mind and heart.
God what I did. She know nothing about my past and I vent my anger on her which she don't deserve.
I rubbed my temples in frustration. Should I go and ask for her forgiveness. What if she wants to leave?
Then what will I say to dad. I've done wrong and its my responsibility to make her happy. I should not
torture for my sins.
And for that so called mother 'Hellen Taylor' just wait how I am going to destroy your Taylor family.
I slowly open my room door and saw Tiffany, crying hard while sitting on floor, hugging her knees.
Her tears made me feel guilty. Arthur you are such a bastard. I also sit on space beside her.
"I am sorry Tiffany, I don't want to shout on you but I was unable to control my anger."
She sniffed "Its okay I should not ask you about your family after all I am no one one to you. And I know
you only marry me for your dad."
Her eyes were red and tears were rushing down them non stop. My heart was throbbing with pain.
I tried to lift her mood "I never knew that my wild secretary is a cry baby"
And I succeeded in my attempt. She glared at me and wiped her tears.
"Who said I am a cry baby. I also do have heart which you hurt. B'coz you don't have heart. God has
granted you with stone instead if heart. Humph!"
She looks cute when she becomes angry. I felt bad at her words. Heart, ones upon a time I was the
most kind hearted and innocent child.
"Tiffany I promise you I will not shout on you again. Now go and wash your face. Eww... look at your
pretty face it is ruined by these thick black lines"
I picked a little drop of black liquid mark from her face and showed to her. She laughed and believe me
I've never heard this melodic laughter other than her's
"You said I have nothing that could attract a man?"
"I was angry so I uttered non sense. But I like brown shade more that white" I said winking at her.
She stopped laughing and said something which I never expected from her.
"Arthur, I don't know how much months or years we are going to live together but we can't fight like this
and act like enemies."
"So what do you want?" I asked her suspiciously
She extended her hands "Be my friend"
I looked at her like a dumb person. Did I hear right? She want me to be her friend.
"Will you?" She again asked and there was hope in her eyes and voice.
"Friends" I caught her hand in a handshake and she grinned.
