sleeping with the enemy ?? zach herron

ISABELLA

Today is finally the day that my brother, Alex, and I finally get to see our parents after 6 years of completely being away from them.

Why you may ask.

Well, my brother and I were both sent to London at a really early age, when I was eleven years old and he was thirteen, to study in a better school.

Yes, that also does mean I'm currently 17 years old and he is 19.

You might be thinking 'how are you guys below 21 and living by yourself?' Well my brother and I have been living with a maid that my parents contracted to take care of us.

Throughout the day, my body has been nonstop tingling. I was so exited to finally head back to my hometown, Los Angeles, California. And also, because that also meant us getting to see our parents again. But at the same time it frightened me.

My family gets threatened very often by many of their competitors but mainly, their worst enemies, the Herron's.

Father and mother hate that family so much since I can remember, even before I we moved to London.

But going back to California also meant that I was going to be leaving my boyfriend. Aj.

Although he had repeatedly promised that he would come visit soon, I knew it was still going to be hard being away from him.

The Herron's have always had a huge conflict with my family because of businesses. Which I found it stupid but I could never say that to my parents. What would they think of me if I ever did?

My parents and the Herron family both have one of the biggest and most important business companies all over the world. Both of our families, own really famous jewelry companies.

Yes, that obviously also meant that we were a very wealthy family which I have always hated and always will.

I hate having so much money, because in reality, it's nothing but an obstacle to happiness. Obviously my parents don't see it that way, but Alex and I do.

Because what's the point of life when you already have everything you can ever even wish for?

You have to work your butt off to achieve what you want like the other normal kids. I mean, you already have all the opportunities so you don't have to work hard for them.

Many people think being rich is a good thing but they don't understand how awful it is. You're expected to act as your family wishes and always not be yourself. I can never have a normal life.

It's always about being under pressure.

Father hates always being compared to the Herron's as much as they do too. Therefore, they always try to outcome and win each other. In other words, tension.

It's basically a competition. A bad one.

And technically, that's where the conflict started with our families.

My thoughts suddenly get interrupted as my brother called me, "Hurry up Bella, the Uber is here already." Alex says from the other room.

I grab my luggage that was laying in the bed and run towards my bedroom door but not before taking one last glance of my beautiful room. I sighed and then closed the door.
