Chapter 29

Eliana Moretti's
Point of View

"I see why you were so adamant on keeping this away from the Royal family and the media." David says to me sighing.

"What's going on?" Harry asks curiously only tuning into the conversation now, not hearing David's comment.

I lean over to the table, picking up the newspaper before handing it to Harry.

"I'm sure you saw the paper?" I ask to which he nods, "I saw the number and I decided to call." I say, trying to see his opinion on my actions. "You're okay with it?"

"Elle, If that's what you want then I'm okay with it, I would never stop you from doing something you want, maybe the fact that you invited a stranger into your house is something we should talk about though." He says, making me laugh softly and nod in agreement.

"I know, it wasn't the safest move, but I felt like I had to call." I say as he nods, before I turn my attention back to David.

"Well Eliana, I'm assuming that you don't know anything about your account or anything of the sort?" David says, as I furrow my eyebrows in confusion.

"What account?"

"The account that you should have gotten access to when you turned 18. Your parents put it aside for you."

"Put what aside exactly?"

"Money, there's a bank account saved under your name and only your parents had access to it, well that was until you turned eighteen. It's now fully under your name." He says, paging through some notes before lifting his head to meet my eyes, "How old are you now?"

"24"

"Yes, okay you definitely have full access to this now." He says, luring a page out of the pile before handing it over to me.

Bank Account:
Fleur, Claude and Eliana Morretti

Access:
Fleur and Claude Moretti
Full ownership to Eliana Morretti (Age 18+)

Amount:
£870 000

"This can't be right." I say, staring at the paper in shock.

"That was a savings account they opened for you and then there's also their will and the money they left for you." He says, making me gasp. "I understand this must come as a shock to you, after what you told me earlier, I can give you time if you'd like to rather discuss this another time." He says taking another paper out of the pile in his file, holding it in his hands.

"Is that their will?" I ask pointing to the paper in his hands.

"Yes, as well as anything else that's not included on the will that's being handed down to you." He says holding the papers towards me now. "I can see you're  undecided on what to do, so how about I leave these with you and if you have any questions, you can call me?"

"Yes, thank you." I say taking the papers from him.

"Would you still like me to try get a new article out?"

"A new article?" Harry questions, making me turn to face him to see his brows pulled in.

I nod as I run my hand over the newspaper.

"Woah, what are you talking about?" Harry questions, making me shake my head.

"Nothing important."

"Elle." And that's the look that I was completely avoiding. It's that responsible look that covers his face that makes me give in almost immediately.

"Just want them to release a new article, change a few things." I say softly.

"Change what?"

"To take the blame off your Parents and you." I say, whispering the last part.

"Why would yo- Is this what my mother put in your head?" He says, looking into my eyes deeply. I look down, avoiding the answer, however I know that tells him exactly what I'm thinking.

"Elle, you can't listen to her."

"David, please file whatever needs to be filed, no changes need to be made regarding this paper, however whatever needs to be published, make sure it gets published." He says, making my eyes widen.

"Are you crazy? Harry no." I say the worry  evident in my voice.

"Why not Eliana?"

"Harry, I don't want to be the cause of any trouble, for you or parents, they already don't like me. I don't need to put the stress on you to deal with either. You're not even king yet, but when you will be, you'll already have so much to deal with because of me."

"You are not trouble and as for my parents, they need to be accountable for their actions. They know exactly how to deal with it, trust me." He says, looking directly at me again. "David, whatever needs to be done, please ensure that it is done."

"Harry."

"Eliana, I can't bare to think about how all of this happened to you, if you just let them hide the blame from my parents, they'll never learn and it'll happen to someone else out there, I can't handle that."

I nod slowly, as the thought of another person going through the same thing runs through my mind. 

My eyes then drop to the papers resting in my hands and scan over the front page.

I watched as Eliana lost all focus of her surroundings as her eyes scanned the pages in front of her.

"Okay, well I'll be on my way then." David says, drawing my attention away from Eliana, towards him, seeing him stand up.

I stand up leading him to the front door.

"Thank you for coming. She definitely appreciates it" I say, as he nods before walking out the door, allowing me to shut it behind him before I walk back to Eliana.

I sit back down on the couch next to her, leaning my head on her shoulder before kissing her neck. She hums lightly, dropping her head back into the cushion behind her, making me smile.

"Why'd you stop." She says, making me chuckle.

" 'm sorry love." I says against her neck, sending goosebumps across her arms. I kisses my neck gently before pulling away completely, making her sigh as she turns to face me.

"Are you okay?" I asks her, offering her a place to open up.

"I am." she says back to me, "just a little shocked about everything- about all of this" she says, lifting up the papers in her hand.

"It's okay to be shocked, do you want to talk about it?" I ask gently, not trying to force anything out of her.

"I- i- I just, yesterday- we'll literally two hours ago, I only had about £2000, and now, after everything, I'm sitting here with over one hundred million euros in my hands? I can't seem to fathom any of it." She says understandably.

"How about, we put this-" I say gently taking the paper out her hands and placing it onto the table in front of us "-over here and go say hello to Marie and Bertram?" I say, watching her perk up like a little girl, which makes me smile.

"I'll take that as a yes then?" I say, watching her nod as a smile grows on her face. I stand up, grabbing her hand in mine, before we walk down to the main house.

I stand to the side letting Eliana knock on the door, as we stand patiently, waiting for it to open.

"Coming"

We hear Marie call out making us both laugh lightly.

"I know it hasn't been long, but I miss them." She says, making me smile.

"Would it be weird if I said I missed them as well." I say, making her giggle before shaking her head.

"Nope, not at all. You're very cute." She says, her smile now mirroring mine.

After a few more minutes, we hear the door unlock before it swings open.

As soon as Marie sees us, her eyes widen as she opens her arms, allowing me to move into them.

"I've missed you so much my darling!" She says, making me smile.

"I missed you too."

"Oh Bertram, you must come down  here now!" Marie exclaims making me and Harry laugh which catches her attention.

"Harry my darling, come here." She says to him after I move away, watching the biggest smile spread across his face as he moves towards her and wraps her in his arms.

"What a lovely surprise, you must come inside!" She exclaims, letting go of Harry before gesturing is into the house.

We walk inside, immediately being met with Bertram, which makes me smile as I run into his arms.

"Hi my darling, we missed you over here." He says, as I agree.

"I missed you more."

"Harry." He says with a smile, moving to give him a hug, making me smile. "I hope you've been treating her well."

"I also hope I have." He says looking into my eyes, as I smiles back at him.

"He definitely has." I says to him, however my gaze still interlocked with Harry's.

"I'm gonna go grab some water, does anyone want anything to drink?" I offer, they shake their heads before I wonder off into the kitchen.

"If she's happy, then we're happy !" I hear Marie say just before I walk back into the room.

"What'd I miss?" I say moving to the couch to sit down next to Harry.

"Well I was hoping you'd come back to London with me for Christmas?"
