Chapter 22
Rania had ceased crying, she felt broken and even her eyes couldn't translate the pain in her heart.
She didn't know who to blame, everyone was right in their own way, but she was innocent and somehow both the Conwell's and Knightleys had found a common ground on her to wreck vengeance on each other.
Today Mr Knightley had behaved differently he had tried to help her but she couldn't take in the fact that the person who was responsible for her condition was the one helping her.
Without thinking Rania picked any clothes she could grab and went inside the bathroom again to change her wet clothes.
Sean was waiting in the room for her, he saw her every move until she went inside the bathroom. She was oblivious to his presence.
It was true, words if not used properly hurted more than any other thing in the world.
She came out of the bathroom and walked towards him and gave him the invitation card.
Sean opened the invitation and he knew at once what it was. He grimaced, now in the next few days she was about to cry more and he wasn't sure if he alone was responsible for it.
He went straight to the study, where his father was reading some documents and gave him the invitation.
His father looked at it and nodded his head disappointingly.
' he never learns, does he' he said.
' If I may father, I know him quite well now , he'll try to get miss Conwell on his side and show the other families in the covenant that I coerced them into action and giving up their property '.
' so what do you suggest we do'.
' The Crawley's are going to support the Conwell's for the obvious reason that they hate us, all the other's don't know the full story, we can make them believe ours'. He replied confidently.
' And how are you going to do that'?.
' By showing them that miss Conwell were very much in love when we married and she signed the papers out of her own free will'.
' so you are going to play with her again, I will not allow it ,find another way' his father said in a serious tone.
' This is the only way and I'm not playing with her, she is my wife and part of the family ,and she has to rise to the occasion if we are being cornered'. He said.
' why do you think she is going to do that ,you introduced her as a visitor from your mother's workplace, you don't speak to her properly, you don't give her any respect, and you expect her to just rise to the occasion to support our family, don't forget he is her father'. Mr Knightley Sr said.
' I'll talk to her but don't expect anything else from me ,I cannot accept her as my wife, I'll ask her politely that's all I can do'. Sean replied.
'One day my boy'. His father said slowly almost like a whisper.
Sean was almost at the door when he heard it, but he dismissed it and went to his room.
He entered his room wanting to talk to her, but she was fast asleep, her right arm dangling down.
He went to have a shower and he came out, towel around his neck, he wiped his hair water droplets scattering everywhere.
He turned back and saw that she was still sleeping but her top had ridden upwards showing little bit of her stomach.
He looked at her sleeping , and he wondered what if she never came to London, he would never have met her or chosen her as a medium of extracting revenge.
He immediately shook those thoughts of pity from his head and got a blanket from his bed and covered her. It wasn't out of pity just plain humanity he thought.
He decided he would talk to her when he came back or when she was awake.
He went out to talk to Adrian who was in the garden. As both the brother's met after a month time they hugged.
' I missed you brother' Sean said.
' me too, it seems a lot of things happened in my absence'. Adrian replied.
' I know you are furious, all was going according to our plan but as father came to know it was miss Conwell, he forced me to marry her and mum also knows her from her NGO work'.
' That's too much of a coincidence Sean, did you get the Conwell girl's story checked'. Adrian asked suspiciously.
' No I've been busy with Rachel and now Mr Conwell is throwing a party where me and his daughter is invited'.
' you go the party ,I'll check out our parents connection to that girl'.
They both agreed in unison.
They both talked about lot of things in general. They both were close and shared everything with each other just how brother's should be.
After dinner Sean went upstairs, Rania had not come down for dinner, he entered his room and saw that she was awake.
He decided that this was the best time to talk to her.
' miss Conwell I'd like to speak to you about something'.
She said nothing.
He continued' the invitation your father send we will be attending.'
Still she said nothing.
' he is going to try to make our marriage look forced, which it is but I want you too behave like it was out of your own free will'.
She laughed after he had said this.
' for once in my life my father is trying to do something for me and you ask me to support you, who do you think you are?'. She said.
He looked at her taken aback.
' I'm never going to do what you ask me to do , you are responsible for making my life a mess and now I'm going to use every opportunity to hurt you Mr Knightley'.
She walked towards him and caught his collar and said' you made me do this, what did I ever do to you, you'd do anything for revenge right, now it's my turn'.
As she left his collar and turned ,she felt his arms around her waist and he pulled her closer and he whispered into her ear as she fidgeted' now miss Conwell you started this first, but remember I win no matter what'.
