In her world....
RIVEN'S POV
I came back from outside where I had gone to talk to my chauffeur hoping the argument had ended but what I found was not a playful argument between mother and daughter. My felt my body stiffen the moment I saw tears in her eyes.
" You on w mum, I came here with my troubled heart hoping that you would just look at my face and realize how tried I was but all you have done is show me that you would side a stranger over means speak all those words to me. Otherways I am sorry and I will apologize if that will make you realize that I still recognize my mother." She spoke tearfully and turned to my direction.
" I am sorry Mr. Sterling for the inconvenience. Pardon my manners please . I hope you don't take it at her. I'm really sorry." I heard her speak the words which carried so much heaviness she was crying as tears came down her cheeks. I knew those words were not so hard to speak or so painful because the look she gave me told a message I and her could tell, hatred, like I had taken everything from her. I nearly told her I was sorry but I needed security from her mother because I knew the only way I could get to her was through her family .
She retreated to her room in such a hurry that one could have not expected from someone to use when she was not being chased. Her mother was not crying but I knew her heart was aching because it was clear in her eyes.
" I don't understand my daughter nowadays. Her life has changed a lot, we have never argued like this. I know something is troubling her but she has refused to tell me. I could hear her even when I spoke to her on phone, she is heavy ladened. If it was another time Lindsey wouldn't have over reacted like that.
