Neil Reed,the middle one was a one hell of a playboy with that boyish charm and smooth words. Flirting,his first language and family his first preference.

The eldest of all was Aaron Reed.
With the face of a Greek God,he was the most admired at. His introvert nature and cold perona an icing to it.. He did opened up to few people including his friends and family.
But to outsiders,he was a cold bast***,who was like an unattainable fruit.
Desired by all , achieved by none.
His family came first for him and he was the most responsible of all.
Ready to bear the weight of Reed industries on his shoulders in future.

While Neil and Ben ,cared for Ezra like her family, Aaron seemed to dislike her for some reason.

The beginning of which started with jealousy,when he saw his mom care more for the orphan girl more than her own children.

While others adored her smile,he hated it, considering to be mockery on his jealousy and emotions.

Ezra loved it when others cared for her,their smiles making her happy except for one person who always had a scowl on seeing her.

She never understood what his problem was,but who said he was telling her anytime soon.

From destroying her dolls,to let others bully her in school.
He made it clear that he hated/ loathed her.

But our Ezra was a fool, getting attracted to the person who stood out the most in the crowd.
Who told her how ugly she was when others complemented her on her beauty.

Who detested her very face.

She wanted him to like her like everyone did,to love her if possible.

But who was she kidding,a person like Aaron Reed never reciprocates.

She gave him love ,he returned it with hate.

Untill one day Mrs Reed came to know about her feelings.

And she became the happiest mother in law alive. Having her daughter like Ezra to finally become her daughter.

He did accepted her hand for marriage,but with a promise to not love her.
He gave her his surname but never gave her the respect she deserved and attention dhe craved.

While she continued to give her everything into this relationship,trying to build a castle on moving waters.

He showed her his extent of his hate and indifferent.

Still she continued to shower him with her selfless love and forgiveness.

But the question remained.

How long can a relationship survive with efforts from only one side.

For boats that don't get rowed with both paddles,struggle in harsh waters.

And the time,they enter the winds of storm,it upturns to leave them both at the mercy of God.

16 years old Ezra

.....................................................

Mrs Reed made sure Ezra got the best education.
So enrolling her in the top high schools of the city,she paid for all her expenses.

It was a common day here in Winston High, with kids filling the halls in the lunchtime ,Ezra stood in a corner,waiting for someone.

Her innocent brown orbs looking among the crowd,to search for those unique pair of hazel ones.

Her stomach was grumbling in protest as she stared at her watch.
