Amanda left quietly as I saw an angry Noah close the balcony door behind him and walk towards me seething in anger.

"How dare you!" Noah walked forward and clutched my arm tightly, "Who gave you the right to talk to her like that?"

"Mr. Ryder.." I started to say but he kept on going.

"She is my sister" Noah whisper-yelled at me while clutching my arm tightly. I was hurting, "I did not give you or any outsider the rights to talk to her like that"

"I didn't start it" I glared back.

"So you have to finish and show who won?" Noah questioned mockingly.

"I didn't mean to hurt her, I just wanted.." I tried explaining.

"No, that is exactly what you wanted to do so that she doesn't bother you anymore" Noah spat out.

"Atleast I asked what needed to be asked" I said while trying to free myself from the painful grip, "What have you done since she came here?"

"Iliana" His cold voice resonated throughout the surroundings. He rarely called me Iliana and it always felt so distanced when he would do that.

"You will keep your mouth shut, stay put at one corner and not inflict your opinions onto anyone else. Otherwise this will be the last day I will tolerate your presence! Understood?"

He shook me and stayed still for two seconds before angrily growling at me again, "I asked something" His clutch tightened and I flinched in pain.

"You are hurting me.." I whispered looking down at my arm.

"I don't care, answer me" He replied.

"Fine" I said out loud, in an attempt to free myself from the pain he was inflicting.

He let go of my hand while pushing me away. He walked away angrily while closing the balcony door loudly behind him. My arm had a slight red tint where his fingers had held me so tightly.

I stayed in the balcony for a long time. I didn't feel like going back inside since I knew I didn't fit in with them. I was an outsider. He very well made me realize that.
I fished out my phone to text Derek.

Iliana: Hi Derek, I'm so sorry.
I got stuck in a work Ms. Hamilton gave today. I won't be able to make it till dinner.

Derek: It's alright, Iliana.
I didn't know you were gone for work.
I was looking for you.
Is it something serious? Do you need any help? Where are you now?

Iliana: it's fine. I'm at a farmhouse.
It's a bit complicated. I'll tell you later.
Thank you for understanding.

Derek: No problem, Iliana.
Rain-check on the dinner?

Iliana: Sure..

Yeah, why not?! Right? It's not like anything else is going as planned.

"Iliana" Joshua called out from behind as I came out of my trance, "Food's here. Come inside"

I looked at him and smiled, "It's okay, Mr. Young, I am not hungry. Please start without me"

He looked a bit surprised when I didn't call him by his name but didn't say anything further. He nodded and went inside. Few minutes later I heard someone speaking again.
