Chapter 22: Reality

"Sister's?" Grace questioned 

She looked at Jasmine who was casually sitting, and didn't even react to the announcement 

"Should I let them in" Mathew asked unsure 

Grace waited for Jasmine to reply 

I looked at her and simply said,

"No"

"No," Grace repeated," but they're your sisters. Don't you want to talk with them?"

I glanced at the door and smirked behind my cup 

"Why would I invite unnecessary drama"

Grace seemed put off by my answer, but started to slowly cackle to herself

'Why am I even surprised? She brushed her mom off like it was nothing. She can definitely do the same to her sisters. Guess there is some family drama going on' Grace smiled and leaned back into the couch with her arms dangling off the back

Rose's P.O.V

I saw the guard come back quickly and smirked

'At least Jasmine still listens to us'

"Sorry miss. They don't want to see you" Mathew said expressionless

"What! What do you mean she doesn't want to see us. She doesn't have a choice!" Cynthia screamed in rage and tried to walk past the guard, but he stopped her

I was standing with shock 

'It's not that she can't, but....that she doesn't want too' I hardened my gaze forward to were the entry to the room is,' Why did she suddenly change or....was she always like this'

"Rose say something" Cynthia whined

I smiled kindly at the guard and made my way in front of him 

"Sir, I don't know why my sister said that, but its not true. Can we please go in and talk to her" I said with an innocent smile

He just stared emotionless causing me to sigh internally

'Guess its time for the waterworks. Men can never resist a beauty crying'

I looked down sadly and my eyes started to fill with silent tears. I slowly raised my head and shakingly smiled.

"Okay I guess we'll be going now" I said and turned around signaling Cynthia to follow

'Hmph, this will be easy. He'll stop us in 3…..2…..1….

...….

1...' 

I started to slow my walk with a disbelief expression and didn't even turn my head to glance back, before we rounded the corner. 

My face contorted into fury and humiliation. The acting didn't work.

"Sister. Why the hell did we leave" Cynthia stupidly asked not understanding what I just tried to do 

'I can't tell her' I thought annoyed

"Something else came up. Let's go home and tell mom. She can deal with Jasmine later" I managed to say through clenched teeth

Jasmine P.O.V.

"Do you know what room Aaron is in?" I asked Grace

She nodded her head and stood up, and gestured for me to follow

We exited the door and took a left and walked all the way down the hall to the elevator

Grace pressed the button to go up, but when she was about to step in Mathew came up to her and whispered in her ear.

Grace frowned annoyed and sighed running her hand through her hair

"Sorry Jasmine, I can't come with you . I have some business to attend to, but Aaron's room is the top floor last door on the right" Grace looked at me sorry and gave me a hug goodbye

I stared straight at Mathew who fidgeted nervously before I wrapped my arms around Grace

'Why do I feel like I offended a great demon' Mathew thought shrinking away from Jasmine's demonic eyes

After Grace and Mathew left I entered the elevator and walked to the door Grace told me too

I could hear a man talking fast and nervously to someone else, which I assume is Aaron

'Ugh, I can already imagine him gazing coldly at the man while he's sitting on a chair with his leg up. He's leaning his head in his hand and staring down at the man like he's an insignificant insect' I rolled my eyes

I entered the room without knocking, causing both of them to put their attention on me. Lord and behold Aaron is sitting exactly as I imagined. The man sitting across from him was some chubby man who, I'm not kidding, looks like a creepy old pedophile.

"Who are you? Get out!" The chubby mans faced flushed red from anger while he screamed at me

Aarons eyes lit up resignation and his face contorted into disgust

'Yeah, I'm not happy to see you either. Man child' I thought annoyed

" Get out" Aaron said coldly towards me

I simply ignored him and sat down on top of the desk

Aaron told the man to leave with his eyes and he happily jumped right up and left

'Yay, I'm done with the torture!' The chubby man thought 

Aaron stalked up to me trying to look intimidating, but he just looked retarded

'I've seen scarier Chihuahuas' I thought internally smirking at the funny image in front of me

"You disgust me, you vile woman. Trying to move up in the world by seducing me, your nothing but a disease" Aaron said with indifference

...…..

'What did he just say to me' I thought narrowing my eyes and releasing KI

Aaron flinched for some reason not knowing where the chill up his spine came from. He foolishly ignored it.

"I constantly see women like you. It's not enough that you bully your half-sister, but now you have to seduce me"

'Does this disgusting human seriously think I'm trying to seduce him. Where did he get that fucking stupid ass idea from. For one I haven't even said anything to him since I walked in, and I didn't even send him one flirtatious look. Does he think of himself so high and mighty that everyone he meets is going to like and try to seduce him. He makes me sick, calling me a disease without even getting to know me, and assuming whatever he wants. Not even thinking of what the effects of his words can cause, because he's never dealt with the consequences of his actions. He looks down on women thinking we all want to sell our bodies and have no pride, because we just want money and fame' I think with an emotionless expression while standing up and gazing intently at Aaron

'He doesn't deserve Alyssa one bit and needs to learn human decency and respect. This isn't just about Alyssa anymore, this is the pride of the future women who he will insult without knowing the full context. Why would anyone want this kind of man to be the male lead? Alyssa went from one douchebag to another. Honestly she should just be single, but that won't happen because I know she wants to be in a relationship. She wants to start a family and live a happy life and she's already started to take a liking to Aaron and the feelings won't disappear so suddenly. *sigh*Why is everything so tiring? Whatever, I'll straighten this numbskull into a proper human being before he can even think of being my sister's boyfriend.' I thought standing directly in front of Aaron and straining my neck to look up at him

" Listen here you fucker. I will never in all eternity like you and you need to understand the weight of your words, you so carelessly say. You go on and on about how women all try and seduce you to move up in the world. Thinking that they all happily will sell their bodies to have fame and money, but that's where you're wrong you douche. Have you even left the city before? Met women who are of a higher status than you? Come across maybe, I don't know a fucking guy girl. Not all women like you. Your not some fucking god and I'm not saying you should take responsibility for all the women you meet, but at least try to understand some of them. Maybe the only choice they have left is to latch onto someone because they have no other options left, and don't get me started on how it's their body and they can do what they want with it. If they want to have sex and gain money by it then let them. Don't look down on them. This is the future and it's not a fucking big deal if someone has sex." I stated fiercely

For the first time since I came here I talked like there was no tomorrow 

" Now I know you like my sister and she somewhat likes you too, but I'm not letting you anywhere near her if you don't learn to be a decent human being first. She deserves so much more than what you can offer her, and I'm not talking about some superficial cash that you possess. I'm talking about the love and treatment that needs to be given. She needs to have her own thoughts and freedom, and be able to rise up in the world by herself. You can stand by and watch over her, but you're delusional if you think I'll allow you to drag her around and dance to your whims.

Now did you understand that, you single brain-celled man child?" I asked crossing my arms and glowering at him with so much intensity it caused him to trickle with sweat

Aaron was left shocked to the core never thinking that someone would talk to him like that, but then he stopped thinking that

'What she said...….is it true? Am I really so single minded that I view all women the same just because of a few bad experiences.' Aaron stumbled back and shakingly gasped 

'No, I'm right. She's just trying to make me like her by being different....is she?' Aaron looked at me with confused and annoyed eyes

'But what if she is telling the truth. Am I so arrogant and naive that I ignore the circumstances of less fortunate people, because I was raised with a silver spoon' Aaron grabs his head and groans,' I'm so confused'

'Was I really treating Alyssa that badly, but that's how I treat everyone and they like me. Right? Or are they faking it'

I stared at Aaron intently as he was lost in his thoughts. I can see the troubled emotions surging through his head. I sigh and turn to leave.

" Gather your thoughts, and if you finally come to see reality then contact me. If not, don't even for a second think that you'll have a chance with Alyssa, and I won't tolerate your arrogant attitude just because you're rich. There are more deadly things than money" I said facing the door while I smirk cruelly. My eyes glow eerily in the dark room

...…

After I closed the door I groaned annoyed while walking away

' I wanted to tell him the plan, but it seems he was too stubborn to see the truth right away. *sigh*, whatever guess I'll tell him if he contacts me'

Now let's go home and paint

P.S. sorry for ranting :)
