The Honor of My Family

Chapter 15

That was sweet of him. But I was waiting for him to bring something up. Maybe he won't bring it up when Jane is here. I just wonder what he must talk about here and not anyway else.

Jane then looked at me. She knows I wanted to talk to Darcy alone. She then said,

"I think I am going to find Kitty and Lydia."

She then left Darcy and I alone. I started to walk around the room some more. Looking at everything in my sight. I then turned at looked at Darcy.

"You told me, you wanted to tell me something once we got here. So, we are here. What is it you may have to tell me?" I asked him.

"Yes. I have thought it over. I still don't know how to tell you. But you have the right to know. Mostly now that you are going to become my wife." He told me.

He showed me to a seat by the fireplace in the room. I took the seat. He didn't sit down. He stood there.

"What is it? It seems it troubles you." I said looking at him.

"I must ask this question before anything is said. How well do you know Mr. Wickham?" He asked me.

I looked at him. What does this have to do with Wickham? I then said,

"Not that much. We meet that evening in Meryton. Then we saw each other a few times. He did tell me about his past between you and him." I told him.

*Darcy's POV*

After she told me that. Her face went cold a little bit. I know he lied to her. I just hope my story tells the truth and clears everything.

"Yes. Wickham and I know each other in the past. But Elizabeth, I must tell you. He had lied to you." I told her.

"What do you mean?" She asked confused.

"He probably lied about our past. I do not know what he has told you. But I must make it clear for truth." I said.

"He told me that you didn't give him the title of the church that your father promised him and gave it to someone else." She said annoyed.

"Yes. But hear me out. What I am going to tell you is going to change everything." I said.

"Very well." She said.

"Well, let me start off. Wickham and I grow up with each other. My father looked at him like another son. My father helped Wickham with everything and even collage." I was telling her. I then told her everything. She sat there in silence. I know this was a lot to take in. Most with the stuff about my sister and father.

"Darcy..." She said but stopped. I think she doesn't know what to say.

"I know Elizabeth. What about go rest on everything and we will defuse everything tomorrow morning. After you got time to think about it." I said.

She nodded and got up to leave. She left me alone again in my study. I felt tired and drained. Mostly after that. It always takes a lot out of me talking about him.

I then decided to go to bed. I need to rest and think myself. Now Elizabeth knows everything should get better for her out. But a lot can happen from here still.
