CHAPTER THIRTEEN:

R eighn asked. “Is she right?”

Sharm sighed and slumped against the wall looking out at the view without seeing it. “About what?”

“Are you a sexist prick?”

“I do not think she said prick!”

“No I added that.” Reighn paced around the room with his hands in his pockets, mainly so they did not reach for his brother and throttle him as he wanted too. “What the fuck are you thinking? She is your shadow and you were barking at her like you would a piece of shit you gave no two fucks for!”

“She drives me crazy alright!” Sharm yelled, as he ran his hands through his hair. “Every day it is something new, someone else she has upset. Told what to do and organized their life. Look at Ella, she is different she has changed because of her!”

Reighn looked at his brother amused and angered all in one. Normally Sharm was their calm, centered brother and now he was off kilter, waffling. At any other time Reighn would be enjoying his brother’s confusion but now he just felt extremely angered and disappointed by him.

“I did look this morning when I spoke with her and at the party. What I saw was a female finally coming out of her shell. Out from under her viperous mother and sister’s influence. Tell me brother, in all the years young Ella has been in your employ. What did you do to help her become self-confident, self-aware?”

Sharm felt his defenses go up. “I gave her medicine what else was I to do. She was my student. She has never complained of my treatment of her.”

“She was your student and no she never did… She never would. You treated her exactly as you should with a certain amount of indifference, as long as she showed up for work and learnt everything as she was meant to. What more was there for you to do?”

Sharm narrowed his eyes at his brother. “Exactly! Are you trying to make a point? If so I am missing it.”

“Of course you are missing it. You dumb…” Reighn let a breath out and said with a clenched jaw. “Indeed, for four long years she was your student and yet within minutes of meeting her, your shadow gave her the confidence to change her attitude. To change how she dressed, to speak her mind and grow. She befriended a lonely person then introduced her to other lonely people. Do you know Ella never had a phone, her reasoning was she had no one to call? Yeah, I see what Edith did that was so bad.” Reighn told him sarcasm dripping from each word.

Sharm hung his head. He had not known any of that. He felt a rising tide of shame. Reighn was relentless as he said. “Your shadow is a good, loving, kind female. There is not one person whose life she has touched that has not changed for the better, apart from you apparently. Do you actually know what she has done?”

“Of course I do!” He said angry again.
