A normal beating heart

Without saying anything, Ava asked Mura to get her purse and car keys.

"I am not yet done with you Ava Stewart so you are not allowed leave." Rebecca shouted.

Letting out a mocking chuckle, Ava suggested, "Why don't you just get a robot for yourself? You just have to press a button and he will do everything that you want him to. That's more convenient right? At least you don't have to waste your energy shouting and taming your human kids."

Taking the keys and purse from Mura's hand, Ava barged out of the mansion, leaving her mother, who was fuming in anger behind.

….

Stewart Corporation.

"Hey man when are you leaving?" Noah asked.

Glancing at his watch, Sebastian asked, "What are you still doing here? Aren't you supposed to take Melissa out for shopping today?"

Noah chuckled and asked, "What? Have you started keeping a track of my schedule as well?"

"Just go before she breaks your head for being late."

Noah sighed and nodded his head. "Yeah, I was about to leave. I just decided to check on you before I leave."

When Sebastian nodded his head, Noah sighed and left.

Thirty minutes later, Ava barged into Sebastian's office fuming in anger

When Sebastian saw his sister, he asked, "What do you want?"

Letting out a mocking laugh, Ava shouted, "What do I want? I want peace, I want a life, I want to live my life peacefully, can I?"

Flipping the document over, Sebastian said, "It's your life Ava so you can live your life as you want."

"Really? Really Sebastian? You really think you or I have the right to even breathe without our parents permission?" Ava asked.

When Sebastian didn't say anything, Ava slammed her hand on his desk and shouted, "I don't know how you do this but I cannot continue living in this cage and whatever I am going through is all your fault. You are the one who decided to act like a coward and never fought back for your rights and because you are the most obedient and awesome first born child, I am always forced to follow your footsteps. And everytime when I gather every ounce of my guts and try to fight for my rights, I am immediately forced to shut up when they use you as an example."

Pausing for a while, Ava continued, "You are the one who always tried to live up to their expectations and now I am expected to do the same. In fact, you are living an independent life now. You don't live with them anymore so you can do whatever you want. You can at least breathe without them monitoring you but what about me Sebastian? I am still stuck with them. I cannot move out because I don't have a mansion like you do and-"

Tossing the documents aside, Sebastian took out his cheque book and asked, "How much do you need to get a new place for yourself?"

Ava's head almost exploded when Sebastian took out his pen and started signing the cheque. "You gotta be kidding me Sebastian? Do you think I am here because I want money from you or because I want a new place?"

Placing the pen down, Sebastian frowned and asked, "Why are you here then?"

Slamming the desk and stomping her foot on the floor, Ava groaned in frustration. "Oh God, you are such an idiot."

Placing her hand on the desk, Ava glared at him. "You know people are so right about you. You are indeed a heartless robotic man who has nothing in his life. You don't have any emotions in your life and you are a selfish man with a heart made of stone. I pity you Sebastian, I really pity you."

Kicking the desk using all her might, Ava barged out of the office, banging the door shut.

A few minutes later, Sebastian placed his hand on his chest.

No he wasn't heartless like everyone claimed him to be. He also had a normal beating heart just like every living creature.
