Love At Last

Her Pov.

After the three days on the yatch we got home and didn't talk to each other.

This morning he went to work before I woke up. Then I heard the door bell since our butler wasn't around I had to go open it.

"Open the door " He said.

It was Scott, how did he know my house!,He shut the door with his free hand before I could say I wanted to close it again

"I'm just here to talk to you," He said.

I swayed my elbow back into his chest losing his grip on me.

Before I could run to the door he was already standing in the doorway blocking the way leaving me no other alternative but to run to the kitchen.

I opened the,drawer and took out the largest sharpest knife I could get then took a pan in my other hand.

I scanned the room for my phone but it was nowhere in sight.,"You bitch!"He yelled in pain.

"Come closer and I'll stab you,"I said,He laughed,"It's not like you have the guts to do that."He said.

I glared at him then throw a knife at him he managed to duck just in time.

"Relax! Calm down."He said putting his hands in the air. I took another knife out of the drawer still glaring at him.,"Get out!"I yelled.

"Please I'm just here to talk to you."He said.

"I said get out!"I yelled again, "Please just give me a chance to explain,I'm,sorry."He said.

I wanted to believe him,I did but with all that has happened,I'm not so sure I can trust him.

"You can say what you want to say now,"I said."Or get out,"

"Aren't you going to offer me a seat."He said.

"No,"I said."You can stand

"The last time you,tried to kill me.",He exhaled deeply then looked at me as ifI,had just grown a moustache.

"I have a personality disorder, that's what happened that day"He began,"But I'm getting help now, I've had it fora while.It was hard for me to admit it to myself."He said taking deep breaths in between.

"Just out of curiosity,have you ever raped anyone?"I regretted that question the moment it left my lips.

"No,you would have been the first."He said.

I clenched onto the knife holding it tighter.,"T'm kidding,that was a joke."He laughed.

"When you and my fiance left it broke me. As you alreadyknow,I have no one else.Just some orphankid someone dumped because I wasn't good enough."I could hear the sadness in his voice and the tears that were whelming up in his eyes.

"I'm just here to apologize.I wanted to make things right between us.You the only one left in the incident and I messed it up, i'm sorry:",I dropped the pan then walked slowly towards him.

Maybe it's because I'm emotionally weak but for a moment it was as if I could feel his pain.I walked towards him then pulled him into a hug still holdingthe knife in hand.

"If you try anything,just know that I have a knife pointed to your chest."I laughed,so did he.

He must have thought I was joking because he pulled me closer into the hug stabbinghim into the chest.

I've always seen people accidentally kill someone in movies but I've always thought itwas too big a coincidence until today.

"What did you do,"He said as he fell to his,knees in pain.,"I'm sorry I didn't mean to,"I said.

"What should I do,should I call the ambulance,"I said frantically,

"No,take me to the hospital, My car is outside."He said.

He requested I give him a dishcloth to press on,worn.We took the elevator to the last floor luckily they had just fixed it this morning. I helped him into the car.

He took off his leather jacket covering the worn to avoid,any questions from the security guards.,"Why don't we just call the ambulance?"I asked.,"If you want to go to prison for attempted murder,then go ahead."He said

I drove the car as fast as I could, for a moment I felt like I was in fast and furious driving through red lights.

I felt sorry for Scott for the number of speeding tickets he was going to have to pay.

I'm pretty sure the traffic cameras caught me twice.

We were immediately attended to by two nurses after driving in.,"What happened?"One of the nurses asked.

For a moment I was dump folded i hadn't thought this through.How do I tell them I accidentally stabbed him?

"We were robbed by two guys,"Scott said.,"Please relax sir,"The nurse said.,He was now coughing blood.

He looked at me for a moment as he muttered a"thank you,"

Five minutes later

"How is he doctor?"Iasked.

I have been waiting in the waiting room

for several hours and no one had told me

anything yet."

"He's out of danger, although you might have to write a police report."He said.

"Can I see him?"I asked.

"Sure, he will be out in a minute"He replied with a 'happy to

help'smile.

"I thought you would have gone by now" he said limping towards me.

"I couldn't leave you," I said playing with my fingers.

I placed my hands into his. "I'm sorry,I didn't mean to,"I whispered.

"It's okay,"he whispered.

I looked away not wanting any more of this

emotional torment this was giving me.

"I hope we equal now."He said

Soon a nurse walked towards us ,she looked at us

then smiled at us.

"You two look cute together."She said.

"No we are not together" Scott and I said simultaneously then laughed.

"What are you doing here, Caroline" Arthur's grim face behind a familiar Counter.

He just looked up from me to scott his face void of any emotion and that terrified me more than I could admit. "How could you meet up with him after everything." Even his tone was hoarse, like he hadn't spoken in a while.

I didn't move, I just stood there.I couldn't feel my legs, i couldn't feel anything.

My breathing slowly disappeared,my heart seemed to have stopped.I think time had frozen just like my brain. It took me a few seconds to realize that I was shaking,my throat was suddenly dry and I couldn't swallow either.

Arthur didn't blink or move a muscle.He just stared, his eyes blank. "You bastard killing her wasn't enough" he shouted at Scott.

"Arthur let me explain" Scott said.

I tried to swallow, I truly did. But I couldn't.

It seemed so difficult. Something was

weighing down on my heart, like a boulder

of some kind. My mouth was open but words refused to come out. " Your sister is Aurora" I managed to say before losing my tongue again.

Arthur closed his eyes and I finally saw

emotions wash over his face-regret,

confusion, sadness, hurt, pain,guilt,but

the one that shook me to my very core was

hate.

His hands gripped my arm tightly" by the time I get home I want you out."

His voice barely a whisper and if it wasn't so quiet I wouldn't have heard it.

"I can ex-" I tried to form words but I was too dazed.I felt faint.

Arthur opened his eyes, a stray tear falling down his eye. "I mean it Caroline"

Turning back to Scott he said "I'm going to end you, wait and see"
