THE INTIMIDATING & HIS IMPECCABLE - Billionaire Love

Chapter - 77

Tiara POV:

"

The silence seemed awkward. I could see my parents emotional and I felt nothing different. There were different emotions running within me. How should I initiate the conversation, what should I say. Why do they want to meet me? What does Raymond know and what does he want me to know from them.

''Princess'' my mom spoke

I looked at her blankly.

''Can I hug you once?'' she looked at me with hope and her voice cracked

I sat just looking at her, I didn't try to move. I don't know how to answer her question. I was dying to hug her at the same time they keeping me away made me angry and heartbroken.

''I know you are angry with us Princess, and you being angry is justified too. But keeping you away was the only option to ensure you are safe and we did so'' my father spoke, his face sunk with sadness.

''I... I don't want to hear any reasons. You are here as our guests, for dinner, we will have dinner and then you can...'' before I could complete, Raymond held my hand gently and pressed it.

I looked at him teary eyed. He placed his arm around my shoulder and pulled me into his chest not caring about my parents and his father being right in front of him

''Sunshine, you said you will listen to them. You said you will give them a chance. So before taking a decision just do what you said'' he whispered

''I ... I can't Raymond''

''you are strong Sunshine and I know you can. It is important to learn the truth.'' He wiped my tears by the pad of his thumb and rubbed my hair gently.

''I guess, I should leave you all here to have a good conversation. I will be in my study and will be back in an hour.'' Raymond spoke and stood up.

He gave a smile to me and left towards his study. We all looked till he disappeared and then looked at each other.

''Princess I would not want to beat around the bush and will come directly to the point as to why we had to keep you away and keep you caged. You can decide anything after you listen to the complete truth. We will honour any decision you make. You have every right to disregard us as your parents but please do understand that we have always loved you and will always love you''

''Fine your highness King Andrew and Queen Emilie. I am going to listen to you. Not because you are requesting, but only because Raymond has asked to me to listen to you''

They were hurt and I felt guilty to hurt them, but anyone in my place would be hurt for whatever has happened in past 25 years. I imagined my life wasn't miserable but I knew I didn't lead a normal life even like others who had been in outer world and enjoyed their teenage, school, college and universities. I hated myself for that and I hated my real parents for that. I couldn't hate my foster parents because I understood they acted as per my real parents orders.

"Princess, we didn't want to lose you like your elder sister Samaira'' My father Stated

''I had an elder sister?'' I went shocked and looked at them

''I know you would be shocked but its truth. You had an elder sister who was killed at the age of 5 and two and half years later you were born. When you were still in your mother's womb, your mother was attacked and throughout her pregnancy there were threats, just to kill you, so that there is no heir for Ardens. When you were born, you were every day in danger. Just because you are the next heir of Ardens.'' My father said while my mother held his hand to control his emotions.
