Chapter 13
1 week later.
She was standing on the second floor balcony, her arms around her chest trying to mend her heart which surely beated to its rhythm only mechanically, giving an impression that she was alive.
But she was just existing in the truest sense.
Her life had taken such a turn in the last week , she was proven a liar, schemer.
After Sean had embraced her in front of everyone proclaiming that they were engaged, Rania was flabbergasted, she couldn't believe her ears, she pushed him, creating space between them.
Just then her step mother had entered the room, she had been standing outside and listening to all the conversations inside, she grabbed hold of Rania and said
" You little witch destroyed my whole family, just like your mother taking what isn't yours, what can we expect from a spawn of hers".
Rania looked at her and then her father and said " aren't you going to say anything ,she is talking about my mother like this, and you know that what this man is saying is not true, you called me from Kolkata to London to attend this wedding".
" I haven't even seen or met this man ever before in my life, he is lying, I don't even know him".
Just then Marianne stepped forward from where she was standing and slapped Rania.
Just then Sean stepped forward in front of her, so as to protect her, when Marianne said
" You keep out of it". And he had to step aside.
" You ungrateful girl, you think I don't know my husband sent you money every month for your expenses, and you came here and took away everything." She spat.
Rania looked towards her father and shook her head in disappointment and said
" Now that you have chosen to broach this subject, let me tell you I never used your husband's money, it's still in the account as it has been since I was 13".
Marianne was dumbstruck and looked at her husband and from his expression she knew the girl wasn't lying.
Everyone in the room was shaken from the scene that was unfolding in front of them.
Rania came forward and said
" I don't know what all this is? But I know for sure I don't want any part in it, please let me go back to where I belong". And she left the room.
Sean went outside too and he followed her, she sensed someone and she turned and looked at him.
She was at the balcony's entrance, he moved forward , prompting her to move backward until she hit the wall.
He was staring at her.
And she wasn't liking it at all.
He said slowly what he had said alone" you really are something else miss Conwell".
" Listen I'm not interested in your games anymore ok!! What have I done to you personally that you are after me".
Her accent was so different he thought and then realized she was saying something.
He leaned forward she stiffened, and he said" I told you I hate your Conwell lot".
" Then why are standing so close to me, and told everyone inside that we are together.
" That's for me to know and you to find out Rania" he said.
She pushed him slightly and moved away from the balcony and said" I don't what you are planning to do ,but I want to tell you something I do not like being stared upon". And left.
He was smiling and went inside the room where Mr Conwell was sitting silently and said
" You want your shares back Mr Conwell, I want you to announce mine and your daughter's engagement and your son will be mine to be punished."
Mr Conwell looked at him and said" the Conwell's and Knightleys don't marry, you know that,".
" Well you can keep your big ego or your property, it totally depends on you ,but I will have my way". And left the room.
He went home and called Sybil.
He wanted to take his mind off things and her.
Her words hit him hard.
When Sybil arrived they got down straight to business and when she was on the top of him kissing him ,it was Rania's face he saw.
He jolted and sat up suddenly leaving Sybil on the side of the bed, he couldn't understand what just happened.
Meanwhile , Rania was in her room finding ways to leave London and go back ,and her thoughts flutterred towards Sean ,he came close to her personal space so much ,she didn't like it at all, he was invading and she couldn't do much when he did.
He was a handsome man no doubt, and it was quite evident that if they passed each other on the street like strangers they wouldn't have even noticed each other.
And now she stood wearing his ring on her left hand waiting to be his bride - to- be a week later.
The week gone by had changed her life forever, her father had agreed to their engagement even though she had protested ,but she couldn't do much when he threatened to close down her uncle's shop if she didn't comply.
Her father's impression stooped to a new low in her life and reluctantly she had said yes, in a way accepting her role as a Conwell daughter.
