Mina got down from Aaron's lap; she turned and looked at Naarah with a smile
"I'll excuse myself, feel at home Naarah"
" Naarah came because of you," Aaron said, he didn't understand why she was acting all weird.
" Yes, Mina I came because of you. Aaron told me you're alone at home. He hardly sees you socialize."
Mina scoffed and glared at Aaron before looking at Naarah
"I've got guards and Maude around me, no need to worry. I just hate being out with a lot of people."
" But there are a lot of guards around, don't you feel intimated?" Naarah exclaimed
Mina gave her a light smile before leaving the place, she didn't want to know what Aaron was up to. Does he think she will run away or something? She feels like she is in a luxury prison, even though he doesn't make it obvious. She knew every guard reported everything she did to him. At this moment she just wants to be in a quiet place.
" MINA!" Mina perfectly heard the call but ignored it.
" I'm freaking calling you princess." Aaron bellowed, he said holding her arm
" What do you want Aaron? "
" Why did you leave?"
Mina stared at him,
" Answer me, princess!"
" What do you want to hear?"
Aaron was floundering, what did he want to hear from her, Mina yanked her arm away from him. She walked towards the garden which was her heaven.
Aaron stared at the silhouette, he couldn't do anything to her, standing for God knows how many minutes, he finally retired.
***************************************
As dinner time approached, the huge dining hall was filled with food and the aroma diffused everywhere. Naarah was already seated waiting for the couple to join her. Aaron entered with his guards, Naarah raised her brow
" Where is Mina, I don't see her with you."
" She will be down any moment from now."
Aaron sat down nonchalantly, what happened earlier kept popping up and he didn't like his princess attitude. He heard familiar footsteps making him snap out of his thoughts, Mina entered the hall with her two guards.
" Good evening"
" Good evening " Aaron responded
" That was for Naarah," Mina uttered
The atmosphere became both tense and uneasy for Naarah, the meals were served however Mina could feel bloodshot eyes on her, and this made her smirk.
Naarag cleared her throat and asked;
" Mina, what do you love doing?" She wanted to know more about her cousin's woman the only woman who could stand against Aaron Vertercio.
"Nothing," Mina replied
" It can't be nothing, at least you'll love something or something that caught your attention."Naarah declared
Her statement made Mina pause,
" I love paintings," Mina answered
" Amazing, then we can attend the Paris exhibition. It's wonderful."
" You love paintings?" Aaron cut in
"I'll think about it Naarah"
Mina continued to eat, and Naaraghbecame baffled, she didn't know what was going on with these two but she knew they were some unspoken things. Mina had been acting all cold towards her cousin and she loved it. She also fancies the fact that Aaron came to France purposely to bring her to his beloved.
"I'm done for for the night. I'll excuse myself." Mina spoke out
" What is going on between you two?" Naarah asked
