"What do you want Jake?", I asked getting impatient now.

From morning he is pestering me to have a talk with him.

Today we planned to stay inside as everyone tired of hiking and camping!

Even my back got stiff as a rod!

"How are you Isabella Baby?", His question made me gag.

"Don't baby me Jake. I don't want to waste my time on you. What is it?", I asked getting mad slightly.

How dare he baby me?

"Don't act Isabella. I know you still like me", his statement made me confused.

"See..you still like me. Don't worry about your husband. We can still have fun", that got me pissed.

Gathering enough strength I slapped him on his cheeks.

"You bitch..", he came to attack me.

"Do it if you want to die", staring at him I dared him to hit me.

"You know..you and Catherine deserve each other. One is after my husband and the other is after me", I hissed at him.

He pulled me towards him.

Kicking him hard I pulled back.

When I saw Aaron watching us with no reaction I saw Jake and Catherine smirking at me.

"You stoop too low guys. This is an old trick. Try better next time", I said smiling walking towards the area where Aaron got inside.

"Aaron?", I called out as I walked into terrace.

I saw him standing with his hands on railing staring at space.

Standing next to him I called out again.

No reply.

I can hear the bomb ticking ready to boom.

"Do you like him?", His question caught me off guard.

"Who? Jake?", I asked for confirmation.

"Don't utter his name", he said through gritted teeth.

"Are you jealous?", I asked to lighten the mood but it was already past it.

"I asked you a question and I demand an answer", he asked glaring at me.

"Why are you getting mad at me?", I asked getting pissed by his behaviour now.

"Don't I have the right to be. I heard you both talking and hugging each other", he spat.

"Then it should have cleared your confusions since you heard it all", I answered plainly.

I'm already pissed by Jake's and Catherine's behaviour.

"You like him. That's your answer", he answered for me.

"You are crazy Aaron. Are you hearing yourself? Why would I like that asshole?", I was pissed.

"You never answered him when he asked you the same question", I can see his jaw ticking.

"So?", I was least bothered by him.

He is pissed and he want to drive me mad too.

Well he is succeeded.

"People will take it as a yes if you answer them with silence or is it that Adrian guy? ", his ridiculous statement made me really laugh.

"I'm done with this talking thing. You can think what ever you want about me. I don't care", I was about to walk out until he hold my hand.

"Don't walk over me Isabella. You'll regret it", his eyes held danger.

I felt hurt. Everytime he thinks I'm cheating on him.

Pulling my hand back from his hold I glared at him.

"I'm scared Aaron. You can suit yourself with those rotten thoughts of yours", I smirked and walked down.

Everything was perfect till last night.

Can't he make us sit and have an heart to heart talk?

He is predicting things about me.

"Well our old plan worked", I heard Catherine when I walked down.

"Oh.. congratulations", I congratulated her and about to continue my walk but she blocked me.

"Do you think Aaron will still like you after hearing things happened in ninth grade?", Her words made me pissed as hell!

Not wasting any second I pushed her towards wall with my hands pulling her hair tighter.

I stood beside her tightly pulling her hair with one hand and the other holding her left hand pushing to the wall more.

"Argh..", she hissed in pain.

"Listen..Catherine, I'm in no mood for your nonsense as I'm already upset because of my husband. I'm warning you. Stay away from me and my people", after threatening her and pulling her hair for ten best minutes I pulled away from her.

"You will regret it", here she goes again.

Ignoring her I walked outside taking a stroll.

When I saw Stella sitting on a bench I took a seat next to her.

"Mam..", she smiled surprised seeing me.

"Hey", I smiled back.

"You are sad", her words made me surprised.

"Here have this", she extended a beer to me.

"Thanks", I sipped on it.

It calmed my senses.

"You are the best Stella", I hugged her while she hold my waist.

She kissed my cheeks.

"Have a good night mam", with that she walked back.

Did I offend her in some way?

Why she looks sad?

I saw Aaron walking to the seat I was sitting.

"What are you doing here?", He asked taking a seat next to me.

"Go away Aaron. I need some peace now", I sipped on my drink.

"The second born are always the trouble makers", his statement was an offence.

"The first born are the worst", I answered in an instant.

"Not every first born. But you", I added.

"Then what about you? You are the troublemaker of your home", he smirked.

He never want to end our fight now.

I felt tipsy.

"You know..I heard from my paternal grandparents. The day I was born they cried a lot as I'm too a girl not a boy. My mom and dad happy for my presence. But still.. when Mia showed no interest in education it naturally fell on me. The burden was too heavy for me..my parents never forced me. But I always been forced", I'm drunk.

Stop it Isabella or you'll regret it.

"I always wanted to be a traveller. Everything was given to me with no choice. My parents too had no choice. As their only choice was me", I answered sipping on beer.

"You grown up into a beautiful woman", he patted my head.

I dodged his hand.

"You jerk..don't touch me. You think I cheated on you. Now I'm really going to cheat on you", I shouted in air.

I saw blur image of Aaron smirking at me.

"You laugh at me", when I'm about to hit Aaron I felt myself falling freely to the floor.

But before I kissed the floor someone caught me up.

"I'm still mad at you", I heard someone's whisper.

"Then don't be mad at me", I said trying my best to keep my eyes open.

"You have boys all over you. I don't want any competition", he mumbled.

"Do you like any guy?", I heard him ask me.

"I..I like this guy.. what's his name?", I thought hard but I couldn't remember his name.

"You are driving me Crazy Isabella. You are making me feel things that's really new to me", I heard again.

"That's me", I laughed.

"Do you know..I invented an new robot. It's called Doc-F. It will be a bang once it hit the market..bang..bang..bang", I danced up and down.

"Doc-F?".

"Yes.. Doc-F. It's a secret. Don't tell anyone".

"A secret", I heard the stranger laugh making me remember Aaron.

"I hate you Aaron", with that I fell into deep slumber.

Why people expect things from others? If we failed to meet others expectations why do we feel disappointed?

If there is no expectations then no disappointments.

That's how I lived my life and I still prefer it.

I never expected to run a empire.I never expected to marry a prince charming.

I prefer my life as a simple one!
