***ESTHER***He is grabbing my hands so tightly right now. I don’t know but there is strange fear on his face which is almost impossible for me to comprehend. I don’t know why are we running like this? I want to ask him but I think it’s not right time to ask him question to him right now. So, we just run.He pulls me inside a narrow alley in between two walls and we both hide between them. He is a tall guy with broad shoulders. He is hiding me behind his gigantic body.“Shhh…,” he shushes me while pointing his index finger on his lips. His eyes clearly tells me that I shouldn’t produce any sounds at all. I obey his silent order. We stay like that for a while, without any chats, without single voice of ours.This has never happened till now. The thing that we are together and loving each other and not talking with each other. Only the swift sound of floating air and our breaths are audible right now.“Let’s go,” I finally hear another word from his mouth but that word is also just a co
Chapter 67***ESTHER***Few years ago"Esther! Esther!" My mother shouted with the loud voice. Since that accident, our relationship has never been the same. She used to be the favourite and most adorable lady of mine but it's different now. Everything is different.A single accident changed everything around me, the people around me, the situation around me and even changed the perspective of a person who is left behind with me and it hurt more when it's your own mother.After being paralyzed for almost two months, I realized a lot of things through hospital stay. It might sound ridiculous but I knew my mother better than ever when I was bedridden and couldn't move at all.My mother never knew and I hope she never know the thing that she told me in hospital almost more than five times.Every time she visited, she used to tell me those things or I could simply put it as, she used to curse me.It was kind of funny but that was what I have heard at that time and I could never be mistake
***ESTHER***"You," his voice softens as he says that. I don't understand his sudden change of expression on his face. "Leave him, please. Let him go," I say as I look at Caden. He is stepping on his stomach and I can't help but cry when I see his step in Caden's body. Seeing him like that makes me infuriated. So, I push him away in rage and hold Caden's body. "Caden! Look at me!" I tap on his face and try waking him up. He faintly looks at my face time and again and closes his eyes. "No! No! No! Caden, you can't do that. Please wake up," I say but he closes his eyes again. How much strong is this man that Caden is so much weak right now? "Let's go," I hear the leader's voice. I look at his face all of a sudden. Did he say to go. I look at his face which is still watching me without a pause. I couldn't stop but look at his face with amazement for a while but the words he says after that shocks me more. "Call the ambulance for them and if someone asks what happened, tell them t
Chapter 69***ESTHER***My eyes fall on the floor as I get the huge slap in the middle of the hospital. For some reason, I feel ashamed and couldn't lift my eyes to look at the people. This has happened once before and it was my mother who it before. I was embarrassed in same way at that time.With eyes filled with more tears, I look up to him. I don't get it. I don't get why is he slapping me in the middle of the hospital.Is he angry that I risked his baby at this time?Yeah! That maybe the reason but I had to save Caden. How can I let him die in those evil and ruthless hands?Or maybe he doesn't even know about it and he is here for Caden. I don't know what might be the reason. So, I don't say anything in particular or try to explain anything until I confirm the reason behind this slap."You silly girl! How could you risk my baby's life? Do you even know what does this baby mean to us? Girls like you are nothing but just some gold diggers. Do you think I don't know about you?" he gr
***ESTHER***“Don’t you dare come near my son. If you don’t take my warning seriously, then I might have to take other measures to sweep you away from him,” he says. I have never heard him call Caden his son. To be honest, I am glad to hear him call the son but I cannot be glad alone because of that. How can I forget that he is telling me to get away from Caden which is almost impossible to me. Plus, Caden is in really serious condition right now that I cannot leave him alone in this phase. Yes, he is alone right now. I know his dad. I also know that there might be selfish reasons for him to call Cadan his son right now. He had always been ashamed of him and now he is calling him his son and without any hesitation means something is really off. “I’m sorry but cannot do that. I cannot leave Caden alone. At least not with you. Also, you cannot just sweep me away like this. I have your child and it’s growing inside me. You cannot just let me go just like that. You have to risk your c
***CADEN*** I can’t believe its him. It’s been months that I haven’t seen him. I heard that he had been in prison for last few months and I have heard that he is getting in for a very long time. Then, how the hell did he get out of that gaol so quick? The moment, I see him in the restaurant makea my heart pound hard and loud and it isn’t because of me. It is because Esther is with me at this time. I cannot let her get harmed because of me. I am solely responsible for his encroachment and I can’t let her get hurt because of that. As soon as I see him, I hold her hands as firmly as I could. I know how much dangerous he could get as I have already witnessed a lot of his crimes. A this moment, I want to disappear from the restaurant and become invisible, so that she wouldn’t be near me. How the hell did he even get information that we are here together? But that isn’t important right now. The most important thing right now is running away from him. I try as hard as possible to hide
***ESTHER***He is the healer of my soul. I don’t know how does he do that but every time he touches me, every time, I feel his skin brushing against mine, that intense serendipity gets generated within me. And the thing that I feel during that period is just the happiness, immense happiness.The way his lips touch mine and the way they sync together in the perfect rhythm and the way our heart beats for each other with that loud thud like it’s going to burst out of my chest yet fills us with excitement is undesribed.Still that’s the best ever feeling for me. His kisses melts my heart. It gives me the assurance that we have to be together any how and in anyway. Nothing in the world should be able to stop us from being together, not even Mr. Payne.He breaks the kiss as he gently encircles the skin on my cheeks with his thumbs. He smiles as he looks at me and when he does that, I feel as if he is the most beautiful creation in the whole world. The beautiful rays of sun, makes his eyes
***ESTHER***“I was in the rehabilitation centre when I heard my mom was hospitalized. They never told me it was cancer.I thought it was just some regular nausea when she was hospitalized. I was called when she was breathing her last breaths. I rushed to the hospital and stayed with her till her last breath. She was alive for three days after I visited her. She was kept in incubating ward and her body was connected with numerous pipes. Every time, I looked at her through that glass door, she would look at me with an expectations. Expectation that dad has visited her but every time, she looked at me, I had nothing to say to her. She waited three days for him but he never came for her,” he stops and doesn’t speak now.I thought he stopped and would continue with telling me more but he doesn’t do that. He stays silent and I can hear his sobs now. “Caden! Are you crying?” I ask. He doesn’t still speak at all. I try to turn around but he holds me tighter around my shoulders making me una
