THE INTIMIDATING & HIS IMPECCABLE - Billionaire Love

Chapter - 71

Author's Note : As promised the second update of today.

Tiara POV:

"

"This can't be true. No, there is definitely some mistake. I am not any princess. I am a simple normal girl. No, this...this...this can't be true'' I stuttered as sweat beads rolled down my face and my body was turning cold.

Raymond quickly jumped towards me and held my hand.

"Sunshine relax. This is your truth, our truth "

"No Raymond, this is some joke. Some joke made by someone who wants to...'' I couldn't complete and was shivering

"Who wants to do what Sunshine?'' He held me by my shoulders and gripped them tight.

I closed my eyes and took deep breaths.

"I am not a princess Raymond. How can I be? It isn't true''

"Sunshine! Take a deep breath and try to be calm. There are still the files and papers you need to look at to get the entire truth''

"I don't want to know anything else. I am not in a position to know any more so called truths. I am happy being daughter of late Mr & Mrs Richardson, I am happy being wife of Richard Daniel Samson. I don't want to be a princess.'' I held my head with my hands and bent my head down.

"Why? What is that you are scared of? Do you even understand your life would change from now on for all ...'' he was about to complete his statement but I cut him off

"Exactly my life would change. Nothing will be same." I looked at him for a moment and continued "Tell me honestly can you be the same with me if I am a princess? Will something not change between us? Can you assure me?'' I yelled

Raymond was silent and looked at me.

"Answer me Raymond. Will there be no changes in our lives? For God sake Raymond I don't want to be put in a golden cage again, I don't want my independence to be gone forever. I have just started learning to live my life happily now, don't snatch that happiness from me''

"Sunshine listen. You are assuming things without knowing anything completely. You just know that you are Princess of Ardens. How can you assume that your independence will be gone? How can you assume that you will be put in a golden cage again? Just go through the papers and files before you come to any decision. Also don't forget that you are my ..." before he could complete I again spoke

"Seriously Raymond, you are saying this?''

He looked on

"I am sure you have met many princesses, can they just go to a simple restaurant and eat in peace without any prying eyes and flattering persons around?'' I again looked at him and continued

"Now I understand why I was caged. They knew I am a princess and they didn't want anyone else to know I am princess for God knows what reasons. What sort of life I had Raymond? I couldn't have the privilege of growing up with my real parents. They could never meet me and I don't know how will they react seeing me. All my life I had lived in a pool of lies. None was real in my life. If this is what a princess life is supposed to be, I give a damn to such life''

"Sunshine'' he gently held my shoulders and tried to say something but I quickly let myself off from his grip. I could see he was taken back but I am upset. I had my worries to deal with and I wanted my space and time. I had no intention to look at any other files or papers. I took a deep long breath and started placing them in the bag in which I brought them.

"What are you doing Sunshine?'' Raymond asked confused

"Am going to place them back in the locker from where we brought all these. These will stay there forever and will never come out in open. '' I replied determined

"No, we are not going to do that'' he said

"Yes, we are going to do that. This is my decision Raymond.'' I replied curtly

He looked at me, while I placed the crown into the iron chest along with the photo and paper and slid it in the handbag and started walking off.

"Sunshine listen'' he called and I turned to see him.

"Don't try to convince me Raymond. I am not going to get convinced. There is no way I am going to listen to anything you would say in this matter. This is my life Raymond and I don't want any intervention in my life by anyone in any way'' I replied angrily looking at him and nearing him

"Your life'' he mumbled

"Yes my life, just my life and I don't want anyone to be in it. At this moment not even you.'' I banged the bag on the table

Raymond left from there without uttering a word and I looked at him as he left. I sat down on the couch and cried.

I don't know how many hours passed by when I finally decided to go out from vault room into our room. Our room. O ...U...R....

Realisation struck me. Why the hell I have behaved so with Raymond. How can I say it is just my life? When we decided it would always be OUR lives. Anything that changed in my life would bring a change in his life. We are married. We own each other's life. What the hell was I thinking when I spoke all those words. Where is Raymond? I took steps towards exiting the room, when my hand hit the table and my graze fell on the bag. I looked at the bag.

Raymond asked me not to assume anything. He wanted me to go through the papers and files completely before coming to a decision. He has always promised me to be my side until I ask him to go away. Today out of my foolishness, I said those words which I shouldn't have. He left. No, I made him leave me. Tears rolled down my eyes. I wanted to scream and say that I didn't mean anything I said to Raymond. I wiped my tears and placed the bag in my shelf.

"I will respect his decision. I will read these papers and files when Raymond is with me. Till then they are not worth my attention'' I thought to myself and left from the room.

As I entered our bedroom I hoped to see him but I somewhere in my heart knew he wouldn't be. He was hurt and I hurt him. I could do nothing but wait for him and then apologise. I would do whatever it takes for him to forgive me. The day was passing by he was not back to home. I got worried and called Up Kane, Paula and Henry, nobody had any idea of where he was. I tried calling him but my every call went into voice mail.

"Has he left me because I said I didn't want him to be in my life? He ...He is a man of words and I knew he would do anything I ask for. He said he wouldn't leave me until I ask him to leave and today I just did that.'' I closed my eyes in frustration

"Please come back Raymond. Your sunshine cannot live without you. Please give me a chance to apologise to you''

While I was in my thoughts, my mobile rang. It is almost 23:00 hrs now and I expect no call from anyone at this moment. Somehow for a moment my face brightened up thinking it was from Raymond, but no it wasn't. It was from another number which definitely was not in my contact list.

"Hello'' I spoke picking it up

"Tiara'' the other person spoke softly

"Can I know who this is?'' I asked politely because I have seen what me being rude and angry is worth

"Andrew Ardens – Your father'' the person said.

My eyes went wide in shock, I was running out of breathe, my heartbeat pacing up and I collapsed on the ground still holding the mobile.

"There is always another side of coin which has its own story''
