RIA'S POV

I was on my bed thinking,Its been a week since my accident, and a while since I learnt that harry was the elusive son of Marc and Helena Prescott, they were the owners of the most prestigious magazine  and other businesses in the country, the Prescott's.

Models were made and broken by been on the cover of the magazine, and if that was were Brianna  was on the cover  page, she was set for life,or at least till when a model's career ends, I guessed that's why tori was sad, that deal would have been a major turning point on her career, why would harry not tell me about this,I had asked him repeatedly about his parents and he just brushed the issue aside, he was on of the richest kids in our school but that doesn't mean anything to me, it wasn't as though we weren't wealthy in our right, I felt kinda betrayed and I learnt the news from my sister, whom had already been calculating how she would use my relationship with harry to her on benefits, I guessed I could have handled the situation better.

"Are you kidding me" I asked a bit shocked
"Why would I, I know what I saw and he is their only child and he is like worth................  " she said an outrageous amount.
"This is a bit of a shock to me" I replied still a bit dazed that harry was worth that kind of amount.
"Well anyways , since he's like your boyfriend, what do you say about putting a word for me.?" She asked
The door opened and harry was there looking in .
"Are you girls busy?" He asked
"Ehmm, no I was on my way out now, I would leave you both to talk" tori said all but jumping from the seat, she was pleading with her eyes for me to put in a good word for her with harry , when she walked out the door.

"What would we have to talk about?" He asked , while trying to sit down.
"Harry I was wondering what does your parent do?" Trying to be circumspect.
"They own some businesses, why are you asking"
"What kind of business, " I prodded
"Paper and the likes,you are looking better, was that your elder sister?"
I knew he knew that she was my elder sister ,why was he evasive about the issues.
"You know that you are kind of an enigma at school"
"I am?"
"Yeah, everyone wonders how you got into the school ,cause they don't know where you come from."
"Well,I like to keep my private life as the word implies private"
"But am your GI....." I stopped myself in mid sentence, were we dating? I asked myself.
"My what?, girlfriend?" I blushed furiously while he said it.
"Aren't we dating, or what?"
"I told you I am in love with you, of course I would want you to be my girlfriend"he replied
"Then why do I feel like I don't really know you?"
"There isn't much to know about me"
"Well, if I am your girlfriend you shouldn't feel as though you couldn't tell me anything."
"What are you really getting at ria?" He asked, well this was the moment of truth.
"Victoria told me who your parents are and how much is your net worth"
"Does it bother you?" He said while running his hands through his hair, why didn't he want to tell me, I want a fortune hunting bitch for crying out loud I got a very sizeable trust fund not one to boast.
"Why couldn't you just tell me, yourself instead of allowing me to find out like this?"I said a bit angrily tired of beating around the bush.
"That was my business, I didn't feel like parading my wealth about unlike some people that need constant attention"he responded angrily back.

I drew back as though he slapped me, that just crossed the line.
"Am sorry that was uncalled for" he said trying to apologize
"You know what save it,am tired could you leave"
"Am sorry ria, I don't mean it that way" he said pleadingly
I still couldn't come to terms with what he said, that was harsh, he had no right to say something like that,I knew I had attention problems but I was  trying so hard to solve them.
"Ria, am really sorry"
I turned my back on him and shut out his words while thinking to myself what reason could he have for not telling me, I didn't have any problems with my confidence levels nor did I have low self esteem , I was quite confident in my abilities and myself  so I wasn't intimidated by his wealth or his station in life, I wasn't  sad to know who his parents were I am in fact happy, why all the self recriminations about having a very wealth boyfriend ready to spend on you, poverty isn't akin to happiness neither is wealth but it helps a lot. With this thoughts on my mind and harry presence by my side I soon dozed off to sleep.
