being courageous in everything<br/> except his real feelings when facing her,<br/> he didn't even know how to cope with his new emotions from crushing to loving the girl <br/>As an heir he learnt to hide complicated emotions that won't be beneficial to his life and has dealt with alot of scheming from people so he was really scared and nervous he didn't want to involve her in his family conflict or get her hurt so he hid it pretending to dislike her and watched from afar gradually pushing her away and to tell the truth he regretted everything but there was nothing he could do as the woman he fancied had no idea about his feelings...<br/><br/>At that time he decided to talk to his mother about his feelings as she was a nice and gentle virtuous lady but it all went down the drain his mother only looked at the him in disbelief and reported to his father he received lot of drillings and nagging from everyone they claim she was from a poor home and won't agree also advicing him to get rid of such thoughts <br/>His rest days was limited and when he finally had the time to see her he realized Andrew had went to be with isabel as they fell in love the family threatened Andrew but the boy Andrew remained stubborn he believed in his heart and would never leave his love <br/>It stinged him and made him dislike Andrew even more he could only like a coward silently watched from afar hiding his hearts<br/>He wouldn't lie he also really admired Andrew's courage to fight back the family even if he has nothing still Andrew was an eyesore to him <br/>His mother and father had a contract relationship although it was a contract relationship they respected and accepted each other while Andrew's mother was an actress with little popularity who manged to be on a business trip with his father, she was so obsessed with being a wealthy lady and would hop from man to another trying to benefit until the appearance of the heir of lanks at that time his father a rich man she did everything she could to finally be with him and have a child for him <br/>She refused to abort the baby after being threatened she even ran away to hide and came back when Andrew was two years old when they had almost forgotten about her <br/>She came and disrupt the once peaceful family being arogant and prideful they could bear her as soon as Andrew turned three they sent her out of the country to continue her actress life <br/> that same Andrew took his love<br/> *shame* <br/>he couldn't just kill him to make the girl hurt yet Abel shook the dangerous thoughts in his head and sighed he hates remembering the past even now he couldn't help but look through his memory<br/><br/><br/> he just wants to protect isabel ,<br/>his only isabel and <br/>get her to understand him one day
