His Hidden Desire
Meeting Bella
Maybe I'm dreaming because Bella is standing in front of me.
How much time has passed?
I counted every single day.
She was 16 years old when I last saw her.
6 years ago that night she disappeared.
Her hair was still black.
But Now longer than before.
She was dressed like a lady.
She was wearing a sundress with a cardigan.
I searched for her eyes and when they landed on mine I felt like the world has stopped.
But that only lasted for a couple of seconds before she looked away.
She finally said in the same nervous voice she used to talk.
Gosh how I missed this voice of her.
My heart was beating so fast I am afraid she might hear it.
Maybe it was her voice that brought me to reality, and remembered I was still in my office and she was standing in front of me..
Theodore
Please have a seat
I finally managed to say.
Theodore
How have you been, and where have you been?
Bella
I am fine. I went to Brooklyn to live with my grandmother.
She answered while looking down at her hands and fidgeting with them.
Furthermore, I questioned her.
Because As far as I Mrs. Collins Her grandmother is still in London.
Bella
My maternal grandmother's cousin, Grandma Eden she's living in Brooklyn. I went there to complete my High school students and then college
But while explaining she was still looking at her hands as if they will walk away the moment she stopped looking at them.
I hate that her eyes are not on me special after 6 years.
The very same eyes which never stopped looking at me or for me.
Even when I know the reason why they're not on me now I hate this suffocating feeling.
Even when she is here right in front of me I feel like she is still far away from my reach.
Theodore
Can you please look at me while talking?
I hate how cold and bothered my voice was.
Which for some reason made her flinch and her shoulder tightened.
I hate the sight in front of me she looks terrified.
Meeting Theodore
After 6 years I finally came back.
It's not like I wanted to, but I had to come back.
My family driver picked me from the airport and I dropped me off at the hotel.
Where I decided even if I don't want to I have to face Theodore.
I love this man but right now I don't have the courage to face him.
After sometimes I finally gathered the courage and decided to meet him in his office.
I asked the driver to take me to his office.
I have heard from everyone that now he is managing his family business.
After sometimes the car stopped in front of his office.
As I got out of the car, I started to question my decision because I don't even have an appointment with him. What if he doesn't want to see me? What if he still blames me? It has been 6 years.
Then I saw Mr. Zayn seems like his is still his secretary.
He said with astonishment.
like he has seen a ghost.
I tried to sound normal, but my voice sounded nervous.
Mr. Zayn
How have you been? Does Mr. Theodore knows you're here?
Bella
I have been well. About Theodore, I want to meet him if he is free I don't have any appointments.
I think he can help me in arranging an appointment with Theodore.
Mr. Zayn
Absolutely, I think Mr Theodore is free right now. Would you like to meet him?
That was quick I needed some time. I thought I might need to wait since he is a workaholic
Bella
Yes, it's completely fine with me
Mr. Zayn
Please follow me.
Then he guided me to the elevator.
Mr. Zayn
Mr. Theodore will be thrilled to see you.
He said with that with a smile on his face.
6 years ago I left without any good-bye or words. I am afraid he might resent me.
And soon he took me to Theodore's Office.
He opened the door for me.
His words caught Theodore's attention. He was working on his computer but the moment he saw me I could feel his emotions
I slowly entered the room.
Theodore
Please have a seat
Theodore finally said something.
His voice is still the same as I remembered.
His voice still makes my heart skip it's beat
I walked and took a seat in front of him.
Theodore
How have you been? where have you been?
Theodore started questioning me.
In my mind I had this conversation with him millions of times.
Bella
I am fine and went to live with my grandmother in Brooklyn.
I finally managed to say.
He doesn't know about Grandma Eden.
I was so nervous that I completely forgot.
Bella
My maternal grandmother's cousin, Grandma Eden, she living in Brooklyn. I went there to complete my High school students and then college"
I tried to give him a summary of my past 6 years.
Theodore
Can you please look at me while talking?
I was so nervous and tensed that I didn't even realise that I was fidgeting with my hands and was looking down.
But his voice for some reason was cold and distant.
Which made me more anxious.
I looked up and noticed a photo frame by his side.
It was his graduation photo.
that we took outside his university. In his graduation gown, I was standing next to him with my brother and my cousin Eren who were Standing opposite to me.
But what made my heart sink was my face was covered with a sticker.
He still hates me. Understandable.
Bella
Let's go to the Coffee shop next door. I need to talk to you. I have something important to discuss.
As soon as I said that I got up.
He knows that I saw that.
