Trapped In Her Heart

Nathane chuckled and tucked his hands into his pocket. " A beautiful face and a very sharp tongue, you are nothing like aunt Rebecca had described you as but I still seem to get attracted to you."

When Ava rolled her eyes at him, Nathane helplessly shook his head. With his personality and temper, he should've walked out by now but something about Ava made him stay. He didn't know whether it was her mesmerising brown eye, her beautiful face, her refreshing aura or her s.e.xy and alluring body.

Ava was about to crush him back with her words when her parents entered the mansion.

Pursing her lip, when she lowered her head, Nathane chuckled. Inching closer, he whispered, "Now you look exactly how your mother had described you."

Clenching her hand into a fist, Ava cursed him under her breath. Only if she could kick him out of her sight and curse him aloud.

"Ahhh Nathane, what a pleasant surprise." Giving Nathane a hug, Rebecca patted his back. "When did you come?"

"A long time back." Nathane answered before returning the hug.

Pulling away, Rebecca smiled and asked, "I hope Ava attended you well."

Nathane smirked and nodded his head. "Oh yes she did. In fact, nobody had ever greeted me so well."

Rebecca pursed her lips when she saw the sarcastic look on Nathane's face. Glaring at her daughter, Rebecca forced a smile and asked, "Honey, why don't you take Nathane for a walk in the garden?"

"The garden is wet and my clothes will get dirty." Ava rebuked.

"You-" Rebecca stopped when her husband Arthur, wrapped his arms around her shoulder.

Patting his wife's shoulder, Arthur smiled and said, "It's alright honey, seems like our little daughter woke up on the wrong side of her bed today."

"I don't know about the wrong side but Ms Stewart surely woke up to have a really bad day." Nathane added.

When Ava glared at him, Nathane smiled and asked, "Wasn't that what you said?" Without waiting for anyone's reply, Nathane added, "It seems like Ms Stewart isn't in her perfect mood today. I'll take my leave and you can call me back when she wakes up on the right side of the bed or whenever she wakes up to have a good day."

After Nathane left, Rebecca grabbed Ava's arm and gritted her teeth. "What kind of attitude is that? Is this the way you treat your guests?"

Removing her hand from her arm, Ava snapped, "He wasn't my guest, you are the one who called him so he is your guest mom."

"You-"

"Ava, what kind of behaviour is this? Is this how you talk to your mother?" Pausing for a while, Arthur added, "Come on, apologise to her."

"What? It isn't my fault so why should I apologise? She is the one who always tries to control my life and-"

"Well, I am your mother so I have all the right to do that." Rebecca shouted.

"But-"

Cutting Ava off, Arthur asked, "Have you ever seen Sebastian complaining about anything? He is a couple of years older than you but yet he always listens to your mother. Learn something from your big brother and stop being so arrogant and glib."

Clenching her hand into a fist, Ava gritted her teeth. She hated how her parents always tried to shut her up by using Sebastian as an example.

Sebastian had always been a perfect child and because she was younger to him, Ava was always expected to follow his footsteps. Sebastian was one of the biggest reason why she couldn't live her life like she wanted to. But irrespective of everything, Ava hated herself the most. She hated herself for not having the guts to fight or retort against her parents who had always controlled her life.
