It was a bittersweet moment. It was nice to argue as sisters on useless topics again, but it also reminded them of the distance between them.

Had she remained in contact with Anna, would the sisters have been closer?

Those gossip about their husband and fiancé.

Those lengthy talks about their favourite movies.

Those funny moments they would share.

Those days where they would've reminisced.

Those chats about the future and what it holds.

Those amusing little rare moments when they would miss each other and tell I love yous to each other.

The group of four sat at the corner table with their Nana. The silence could be felt deep in their souls, though a bursting noise surrounded them.

Elsa and Jack faced Anna and Kristoff, and Nana sat at the head of the table, taking in this sweet moment. They were apart for years, and witnessing them finally together moved her. Now, she could die in peace.

As Elsa swirled her glass of red wine, she shut her eyes and asked, "So, how did you both meet?" A part of her, a huge part of her, was uneasy.

So, the conversation began. "It was a love-at-first-sight moment, like one of those movie scenes. I bumped into Kristoff while running to my class in the hallway, and we looked into each other's eyes. Oh, it was beautiful, Elsa; that's when I knew he was the one for me."

Kristoff beamed as he lovingly glanced at her. "It was the same for me, Mrs. Overland."

Elsa snorted; it came out as less sincere and more sarcastic. She didn't know why. "Call me Elsa, Kristoff." She wanted to say they were too young to get married, but she held it in.

"Yes, ma'am." He obliged.

Anna, who had a keen eye, tilted her head and lifted her eyebrow, "Why are you being so weird? You haven't even congratulated us."

Blinking multiple times, Elsa behaved as if she was being accused. "I'm not being weird. And it's not like you've congratulated me."

"Oh, so this what it's about." Anna sighed and rolled her eyes, giving her what she wanted. "Well, congratulations, sister, on-"

Then it hit her this was surely going towards an argument, so she cut her mid-talk. "Thank y-"

Anna chuckled and continued her previous statement, "On your wedding that I wasn't even invited to."

Jack and Nana stayed quiet and let them take all the piled-up anger out. They were glad no one was able to hear them from the corner. And from what Jack had heard Anna was a nice person but he could also understand the resentment so he didn't speak. If Elsa wanted him to, then he will.

The old lady seated a few meters away dropped her head on the table. She knew the prior moment was too good to be true, and as vastly as they understood each other, there was still some unresolved tension.

"I'm not doing this, Anna. I'm sorry I didn't invite you; it all happened quickly. But I'm here for you that's what matters." She muttered hopefully, "Right?"

"You left me all alone, and somehow I accepted it. But getting married without me, without your sister. I can't and will never forgive you for that. I knew it wasn't good for you here, and you left. It was heartbreaking, but I accepted it. Did you not even think of telling me via call if you couldn't invite me? I had to hear it from Nana. Do you know how hurtful it is?"

Each word pierced her heart further, "I'm sorry, Anna. For leaving, for not staying in contact, for...for getting married without you and not telling you myself. But I'm here for your engagement and-" Elsa gulped, not letting her tears rush down her face "-and congratulations. I'm happy for you."

Anna laughed as she cried, "I don't want your sorrys."

"What do you want, Anna? Tell me."

"I don't know what I want! All I know is I don't need your empty sorrys."

"Tell me, Anna."

"Shit, you asked for this. I want those years back when I stood by the door and waited for you daily. I wanted to run with you in the hallway, I wanted to hang out with you and have a snowball fight, I wanted to laugh with you." Anna whispered under her breath, "I wanted to cry with you. I just needed a sister that I loved so much. There! That's what I fucking wanted, Elsa!"

The bubble exploded, and Elsa finally cried, "I was stupid to think we'd be the same again. I knew you had built up a grievance towards me even though you didn't show it." Her eyes burned.

"So was I."

Elsa lowered her face in her hands, hiding her shattered face. "I guess you truly don't understand why I left then."

"I guess I don't."

"Do you want me to be honest, Anna?"

Anna stayed quiet, and Elsa took it as a yes because she yearned to let her thoughts out. "I didn't think that'd affect you. You were young, so young to even remember our memories. And you had everyone who dearly loved you. If anything, it was a favour that I left. With me around, there would've been so much negativity in the family."

"I know you suffered, but I was here," Anna pointed to Nana. "Our grandmother was here who loves you way more than me."

Something totally unseen. Nana sighed and spoke after the unbearable silence. "Anna, I never-"

"Don't even Nana. We both know it's not true." She kept talking, letting all her emotions out. "Elsa, you still had us. You had the luxuries here. You had everything here, and it was enough. Was it really that bad that you left me and Nana? I know it wasn't that bad for you. You had everything."

Having had enough, Elsa stood up and didn't care if anyone heard her now. "I did not fucking have everything. I didn't have the peace that you had. I didn't have the family that you had, and most importantly, I didn't-" Elsa swallowed and shut her eyes tight "-I didn't...have the love you had. I had no one that cared for me. You were too young even to understand the shit I went through. I could only play with you. And Nana here-" She pointed at the expressionless lady. "-She couldn't even make my life better here; her love wasn't enough; it was pitiful. So yes, It was bad, Anna. It was fucking hell. No one loved me, okay...No one."

"Oh dear." Only now, Nana realized how unfairly she treated her granddaughters. She gave more love to Elsa, knowing she had no one, and with that, unintentionally neglected Anna.

Gasping, Elsa realized what she had just said and stood up, ashamed, stuttering. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that…any of that; I'm sorry to you both, and I'm sorry for ruining such a happy day for you." She began to step away gradually. "And congratulations, Anna. I think I have to leave. I'll go now. I'm sorry again. I'll go." Elsa walked away, apparently towards her car.

This was too much, and Jack stood up, too. He didn't utter a word, only bowed and left the table. On his way, he saw the grimaces on everyone's faces following Elsa, and he halted, wanting to say something, but didn't know if Elsa wished for that, so he stood in the corner to see what they would say behind her back. To see what she went through so he could adequately care for her.

Jack saw them and heard the voices around him loud and clear.

Jacob Arandelle slapped Agnarr's back. "Didn't I tell you not to invite that cursed woman?"

Ella Arandelle shook her head in disappointment. "If only she weren't born."

George Liam had his cruel words, too. "As always, Elsa throws a tantrum and ruins the party."

Elizabeth Liam put her input "My son's right. You have spoiled that brat too much."

Carmen Arandelle spoke, too. "Next time you invite her, tell me I'm not showing up."

Iduna answered guiltily, "It was Anna's request, and you know we can never turn it down."

Another lady whispered in the corner, "God, that woman truly looks like a witch. They were right."

Jack scoffed loudly, making sure he was heard. "I pity you all."

Smith, who already hated Jack initially, walked up to him. "What did you say asshole?"

And so Jack stepped closer to him and spelled the words slowly, "I said I pity you. Was that not heard?"

The head of the family, Jacob Arandelle, screamed. "Who let this man in? Kick this nobody out right this moment." But surprisingly, no one reached Jack. The guards that were here, vanished.

"Oh, how I wish you knew who I am." The billionaire he was, contemplated if he should let the secret out and see them beg. "I truly pity this so-called family, you have. Elsa is such an extraordinary person. She is a beauty, a perfection, a kindhearted and loving girl. It's an honour to be her husband, and I see every day what a remarkable woman she is. So it's a pity you don't truly know her, and I'm so glad because you don't deserve even an ounce of her."

Everyone stood shook and mumbled. "Oh, that's the husband." They had forgotten he was showing up, and some newly acknowledged she was married.

Anthony laughed loudly, grabbed Jack's collar, and smiled. "Save the speech, lover. Did she pay you to say this? I told you already she doesn't have any money. She's a witch and deserves to be treated like one. But I wouldn't be surprised she had been spreading her legs si-"

And this is when Jack threw the first punch at a well-deserved waste of clay. "Didn't I warn you assholes before to keep my wife's name out of your filthy mouth?"

"Guards!" Agnarr yelled again so Anthony could be saved, as it was clear that no one had any chance of beating Jack.

Why weren't the guards showing up? Where were they? The whole family was baffled. Later, finally, the guards showed up, and everyone felt relaxed that Smith and Anthony would be safe.

But it took a turn, and instead of holding Jack back, they grabbed Smith by his arms and shoved his body on the floor, pressing his face down. That's when everyone realized these guards weren't theirs.

That was Jack Overland's guards.

Everyone could only watch as Jack was brutally beating up Anthony, too afraid even to move an inch.

Smirking, Jack gripped Anthony's face, coated in red. "See, I love that look on you. Look at your bloody face, and oh Lordy lord, it's swollen. Looks like you won't be able to speak for weeks." Jack strangled him with one hand and, with the other, tugged his hair, holding him up in the air. "Now, until you can talk again, I want you to think hard and understand that if I ever hear my wife's name from your disgusting mouth again."

"I will end you." Jack let Anthony go, and he wheezed for air. The mother yelled her son's name as blood kept rushing out of him.

The man, with an adrenaline rush and a villainy look, glanced around and saw the fearful faces. "Don't be dramatic; he won't die. If anything, it was self-defence; he touched me first."

The mother asked with bloodshot eyes, "How is this self-defence? He's the only one that's hurt."

"It's not my fault you gave birth to a weakling. Teach him not to throw hands if he can't fight back."

Jack walked up to Nana. "It was nice meeting you, Nana." then he turned to his sister-in-law and the fiancé. "Congratulations on your engagement. As you can see, I didn't start the mess, but I still apologize. I'll see you at your wedding. Have a good night."

Now, he still had some strange feelings about Nana and Anna because of the argument that took place a few minutes ago, but he possibly couldn't be rude to the only family she had left. At least not until Elsa spoke ill of them.

The three nodded with dropped jaws. What just happened? The man who acted like a golden retriever in a blink turned into a demon before them. And solely for Elsa.

The silenced aged man Jacob Arandelle, who stood far away, understood a bit too late that Jack Overland was not to be messed with, and the vanished guards hinted he was not some ordinary boy.

In fact, a rich boy that could end bloodlines for Elsa.

There was only one thing on his mind: "Who was he? And why did he choose Elsa?"

Honestly, a bad boy Jack wasn't what I would write, but I got multiple requests. So here you have it, but he'll remain an adorable dork for Elsa.
