She is now 17years, a precious rare marble, and anonymity to those who don't value the quality of virtuousness; a symbol of beauty twined with good character; a diamond, which for a long time had been covered by dust, but now whose unique sparkle can tempt the oak heart of any radical king: her gracefulness, the pretty baby- face with a pointed nose, the luminous eyes that twinkle like a Sirius, the sharp sizeable curves and her beautiful well-built legs that look like a banana stem, and her long hair are what forms Esther's essence.
As she walked down the road heading to the grocery shop situated at the far end of a small trading centre away from the street, her mind swam in the memories of her past; her gross suffering in Jina's mansion, her narrow escape from dying of poison that was planned by Jina but had instead killed her accomplice, Tony, which lead to the di
I would like to appreciate everyone that is reading this story and also inform you that this chapter introduces us to Simon, the City Mayor's son, whose coincidental meeting with Esther, fatal though it may seem, will turn the course in Esther's life; introduce her to love, fight every battle impossible they might appear until all their dreams come true. I hope you will enjoy the rest of the story. Looking forward to your views. Thanks much.
Simon drove the car amidst the tension, but he was careful not to make another mistake. The less traffic on the road was a big advantage to him and he was sure that if he and his company were lucky, they would reach their destination in a few minutes. More often, he would peer through the rear mirror to look at the stranger, who, because of his carelessness, was treading the thin line between life and death, and each time he peered at her, he would imagine her susceptibility to danger and felt as if her heart would stop beating any minute; that is if at all it was still functioning. Slowly, he turned westward. Suddenly, three jeeps with tinted windows and personalised number plates with the national flags poised near each of the headlights came rattling towards his direction. These were some of
Emilia had been listening to her husband's conversation with the doctor and noticedthat Miguel was upset. She came over and held his hand,"Excuse us, Dr." She said gesturing to him with a flash of a smile, "I would like to talk to my husband." The latter nodded and she took Miguel to the rear corner and started after peeking and making sure that no one was in the earshot,"Honey, what do you intend to do with her now?" She spoke in a whisper."Would I be here If I had an idea? I am confused.""Look here, don't let this whole thing stress you out. What if we pay one of the doctors to eliminate her instead? We can make an excuse. Just agree and leave everything to me, dear."
The doctor was impulsive but was quick to escape her question by interrupting her,"I mean- he looks tired. That's why I suggested it. Forgive me for my clarity, ma'am." Simon knew he had to concede with his partner in order not to leave any trace of suspicion in her mind, and holding her hand with tenderness, he affirmed, "I think he's right, mom, I feel very tired and worn out. I need something to drink.""Ok, dear I will bring it." She strutted out.This was an opportunity for them to hold a discussion freely before she returned. The doctor drew closer and sat beside Simon after a deep sigh."Hey, that was close.""I know, doctor.""You must have fainted earlier. I
Esther's head was heavy and her body frail, but that was not all; her mind was blank. She couldn't make out anything around her nor did she remember anything about her past as though her noddle was scraped off of every detail of what she was or knew before the accident- not even her name.She grimaced trying to raise her head and, Simon, aware that she was still very weak said,"Take it easy- You are still weak.""What happened to me? Where Am I? ah, my head hurts terribly.""Sorry, easy, don't you remember- you had an accident. You've been unconscious for days. I am happy that you are awake now." Esther was confused because her mind hardly had a nodding acquaintance with her past."I don't remember anything."
Simon held his breath. He could feel her nearness and the scent of her perfume that whipped through his nose. For a long time, he had been avoiding her and never let her come this close to him. He had withstood her because it was Emilia's choice, but he kept confessing to her mom that he didn't love her yet the latter insisted that with time, he would learn to love her. It was obvious to him that it would never work because his characters were opposed to hers; He was calm, polite and down to earth while Nisha was proud, discriminative and arrogant.Needless to say, the two were credibly incompatible and never the twain could meet although they were both brought up in well to do families. Simon took after Miguel; his character was nothing close to Emilia's.He was trapped and felt pissed," I must be stupid. What was I thinking?" He thought and wanted to give up
Emilia trotted towards her glaring at her from head to toe. She was cold-hearted- as always, especially when prejudiced by the appearances."So, apart from being blind, you are dumb as well?" She asked in a sarcastic tone."No, ma'am, I am neither dumb nor blind.""Oh! Then if you claim so, why didn't you get out of my son's way? You had to block his way and he knocked you down putting all of us in trouble or oh, was it your plan? You wanted to make it an excuse to hook up with him?""Sorry, ma'am I have no clue what you are talking about."Esther was terrified by Emilia's unfriendly gesture."Oh, please, stop being pretentious and spare me that crip. I know your type. Trying to g
Esther was credibly confused. "What has come over him?" She asked herself, and then lifting her head, asked, "Are you okay?"He gulped and was shy. He wanted to kiss her and tell her that he loved her- that she was driving her crazy, but didn't know how to start because he had never been in love; he had never kissed or been intimate with any woman and now it was hard for him to resist, yet he was scared of how she would react if he made any attempt."I am sorry," he said trembling, "I...may I…" he stammered drawing closer at every word he spelt. Esther heaved and her body shook. Seeing that Simon's face was close to hers, she held her breath. He held her pretty face in his arms and…"Simon!" Nisha's voice countered from behind him and his jaw fell. She ruined his moment! He had almost kissed her, but N
It is disputed that Simon noticed that Emilia was approaching, otherwise he wouldn't have pursued his flirty behaviour knowing that it was guaranteed to upset her.As always, she was well-groomed in a floaty white expensive dress. Her hair was bobbed on her neck. With an aura of a high-class lady and a loving mother, she made it towards her but Simon was too distracted to notice her promptly."Great job, my friend, great job!" He said dabbing his lovely instrument whose work seemed to have been effective."She is beautiful, isn't she? Just like a queen. And you, my dear, have linked her to my heart. Don't you think I lucked out by meeting her? You are amazing!" He kissed his guitar and lifted his glowing face to glimpse at Esther once more but she had disappeared in a flash after glimpsing at the tough l
