The Honor of My Family

Chapter 9

I looked over to Darcy. He gave me a smile. He told me before we came here to be myself. That is what I am going to be.

"It will be hard. But I know I am doing the right thing." I told her.

"Oh really?" She asked me.

"Yeah. You should know. You did. It wasn't easy." I said.

She could say a word. I know she probably didn't like that. Or me. But why? Why does she not like me?

*Darcy's POV*

I couldn't help but smile about Elizabeth's comment. Everyone else was shocked. But I know my aunt doesn't like her. Not because of her comment. Because of something with my family. I am going to have to talk to her late about that.

It was later that day. Everyone was doing their own thing. I think this would be the best time to talk to my aunt.

"Lady Catherine." I said entering her parlor.

"Yes Darcy?" She asked me.

"We need to talk." I said to her.

"Yes, we do." She said to me annoyed.

"You are not being fair. You need to give Elizabeth a chance." I told her.

"And this woman is going to give you that? She asked me surprised by that.

"Yes. She already is. I could be never happier in my life." I told her.

"No. I don't believe you." She said.

"Okay listen here. I am marrying Elizabeth and that is final." I said walking away before she could say anything else.

I feel bad for Elizabeth. She is not getting treated right because of me. She deserves better.

I turned the corner from the parlor and I saw the one person I didn't want to hear that conversion.

"So, when were you going to tell me that?" Elizabeth asked me.

"I can explain." I told her.

"You just did." She said.

She then walked away from me. I went after her. But she was gone when I thought I was caught up.

My aunt is already ruining everything. Therefore, I didn't want them to meet yet. I must do something about this.

*Elizabeth's POV*

I went to my room. It was far away from Darcy's room. It now makes sense. She hates me because she can't marry her daughter to Darcy.

I was relaxing in my room. I then heard a knock at my door. I got up and opened it to see it was...
