I opened the heavy doors, my eyes met James' hateful ones and behind him Arthur gave me a smirk but it was a concerned look on William's face that alarmed me.
'Patricia, step out from this room with me now.' James commanded me and I gulped with fear because his voice doesn't hold that love which I am usually familiar with.
'No, I want to speak to you about ill-treatment given by Arthur -' I began to argue but was cut short by James's glare.
'Don't ask me to repeat myself twice, Patricia.' William replied curtly. I didn't answer but silently followed him out on the ship's deck.
Standing near the ship's rail, James' hand gestured to come closer.
With treacherous waves, tossing the vessel violently, I feared for the worst.
'You betrayed me and dishonoured the conditional love which I possess for you. If I knew about promiscuous ways beforehand then I would never ask for your hand in marriage.' said William sadly.
