"Sister's?" Grace questioned 

She looked at Jasmine who was casually sitting, and didn't even react to the announcement 

"Should I let them in" Mathew asked unsure 

Grace waited for Jasmine to reply 

I looked at her and simply said,

"No"

"No," Grace repeated," but they're your sisters. Don't you want to talk with them?"

I glanced at the door and smirked behind my cup 

"Why would I invite unnecessary drama"

Grace seemed put off by my answer, but started to slowly cackle to herself

'Why am I even surprised? She brushed her mom off like it was nothing. She can definitely do the same to her sisters. Guess there is some family drama going on' Grace smiled and leaned back into the couch with her arms dangling off the back

Rose's P.O.V

I saw the guard come back quickly and smirked

'At least Jasmine still listens to us'

"Sorry miss. They don't want to see you" Mathew said expressionless

"What! What do you mean she doesn't want to see us. She doesn't have a choice!" Cynthia screamed in rage and tried to walk past the guard, but he stopped her

I was standing with shock 

'It's not that she can't, but…….that she doesn't want too' I hardened my gaze forward to were the entry to the room is,' Why did she suddenly change or…….was she always like this'

"Rose say something" Cynthia whined

I smiled kindly at the guard and made my way in front of him 

"Sir, I don't know why my sister said that, but its not true. Can we please go in and talk to her" I said with an innocent smile

He just stared emotionless causing me to sigh internally

'Guess its time for the waterworks. Men can never resist a beauty crying'

I looked down sadly and my eyes started to fill with silent tears. I slowly raised my head and shakingly smiled.

"Okay I guess we'll be going now" I said and turned around signaling Cynthia to follow

'Hmph, this will be easy. He'll stop us in 3…..2…..1….

……….

1……' 

I started to slow my walk with a disbelief expression and didn't even turn my head to glance back, before we rounded the corner. 

My face contorted into fury and humiliation. The acting didn't work.

"Sister. Why the hell did we leave" Cynthia stupidly asked not understanding what I just tried to do 

'I can't tell her' I thought annoyed

"Something else came up. Let's go home and tell mom. She can deal with Jasmine later" I managed to say through clenched teeth

Jasmine P.O.V.

“Do you know what room Aaron is in?” I asked Grace

She nodded her head and stood up, and gestured for me to follow
