The Fresh Start in an RPG World

Axel and London sat down, and she could tell that they were assessing her immensely. She didn't greet them or utter a word, they were the ones that came to her not the other way around.

She saw that they didn't say anything, and then she realized that it was because Marian was there, she was watching the exchange like a hawk.

Talia gave her a dismissing glance,

"I will be outside if you need anything Mam." With that Marian left.

She turned her attention back to them,

"So, this is where you have been." said Axel

"What do you want?"

"wow, no hello or anything." he replied.

"If you don't have anything to say or propose I suggest you leave."

"Wow, you have definitely grown up."

"I couldn't stay a child forever."

"London can you wait outside, I need a moment alone with Talia."

London nodded and he got up and left.

When the door closed, she heard him take a deep breath,

"I have missed you Talia, more than you can imagine."

"Is that so?'

"Yes, I searched for you all these years and now I have found you."

"But what is your point?"

Axel looked taken aback by her tone, "my point is that I am glad that I have found you."

"So, what?"

"We can work things out Talia."

"Work what out?"

"Being husband and wife, we can be happy."

"I am not your wife."

"Yes, you are, we made vows and you said yes."

"I did and those circumstances are now different, so you can shove that marriage shit of a speech of yours."

"I still have the license and its recorded."

"Is that what you came all this way to tell me?"

"No, Talia. I want to talk, really talk. This is not how I imagined it to be."

"Then how did you imagine it to be? That it would be all rainbows and sunshine."

"Of course not, I just didn't expect you to be…"

"Let me finish that sentence for you, to be immune to your bullshit!"

"No that's not what I meant, and you know it."

"I mean what does this have to do with business? I only saw you because they said that you wanted to sign a contract. Am I wrong?"

"What are you on about Talia?"

"Exactly what I just said, I have entertained you for long enough. Now let's get back to track as to what this meeting should really be about."

"Is that important right now?"

"Yes, yes, it is. For me that's the only reason why I saw you. Because you wanted an answer as to why we hadn't gotten back to you or why we had rejected the contract."

"We will talk about the contract later."

"Then get out my office and come back when you are ready to discuss it."

"But…"

"Or should I call security, so that they can come and take you out?"

Axel looked at her and she saw that he knew that she meant every word.


He got up and straightened his suit.

"I will be back."

With that he left.
