Ryder
I am sitting before my canvas working on my newest painting when I hear the door burst open. I roll my eyes knowing exactly who it is.
"Get out," I say as coolly as I can.
"Astraeus!"
"Stop calling me that you son of a--" I hold back my words before I say it.
I turn around to see Ashwin fuming, "You better get away from that girl or else.."
I scoff, "You have a problem with her too?"
He furrows his brows, "Excuse me? Have a problem with her? Why.. she--"
I cut him short quickly, "Mother is the only who supports me, I do not understand why you, and father hate me so much," I stand up.
He closes the space between us, "We do not hate you Astraeus, we only want what is best for you, besides you are the eldest son for goodness sake, stop behaving this way!" He shakes my shoulders violently.
I push him back, "Stay away from me Ashwin."
"Stay away from Aria too."
I grimace, "I will make sure to pluck out your tongue if you say that again," I grind my teeth hard.
