Bring it on....

' You need not go to the school anymore.'

My step father said . I was shook by his sudden display of anger and couldn't understand as to why he would restrict me from going to school.

' But father ... '

' Do not call me that with your sinned tongue . I am taking care of your mother because I loved her... but your expenses  are too much to bear alongside Ethan .'

I had always called him father despite his hatred for me because I have longed for the care a father would provide a daughter. But his nostrils flared showing me that he was angry and wanted my response. So irrespective of my want to got to high school,
I gave in to his thoughts

' Okay , fath ... s-sir , I won't go to school anymore. You needn't send me to high school. I am grateful that I got to complete my secondary education.'

But after that my mom had pleaded him and he finally agreed me to do a home schooling course .
It was cheap and was easy for him to pay.

Ethan had got into King's College in London for his further studies and I was allowed only to write the med entrance , even though I wanted to study business.

Step father never allowed me to study the same as Ethan .
I had always cried on Chloe's shoulders and she would always console me saying that Ethan wasn't smart enough to compete with me and hence my stupid step father didn't want to lose his pride .

I remembered how Chloe had fought for me when I didn't get to go to high school and she too didn't go to high school thereafter.
I was extremely lucky to have her by my side back then otherwise I would have gotten mad .

We both did home schooling and prepared for our exams on our own . Unlike Chloe who had willingly chosen Medicine , I had chosen Medicine partly because Chloe wanted me by her side and also my step father had agreed to pay the little expenses left after the scholarship money.

I remembered those days and suddenly my mind drifted to Chloe as to how she would be and what must she be facing as of now . Would she be searching for me ? She would definitely be angry at me for taking such a stupid decision.

Was it really a stupid decision?

My mind drifted along the question and I fought hard to say yes . Yes, there were many reasons as to say yes , he had blackmailed me into coming with him .

Then forced himself on me , got married without my consent.
But he was also worried about me .
My studies meant something to him .

When I myself have felt that I would end up nowhere in my life ,he had thought about my independency.

Was he really worth the despise ?

My inner mind was enjoying my turmoil. I couldn't understand so many things .

Aaron was an unpredictable man for me .

I couldn't understand as to why he would have me as his wife .
He was quite a handsome man himself , supermodels would love to adore themselves in his arms ,yet he chose someone who wouldn't even be recognised in a crowd .

He married me after having so many troubles . But the question lurked still.

Why...??

I observed that the dishes were over .
I decided to end my curiosities tonight.

I wiped my hands and came out of the kitchen . I decided to confront him today .
