Chapter 95***ESTHER***“What’s going on? What were you guys talking about right now? Who killed who and who is responsible for who’s death?” he asks as I stand on the door with my eyes unable to move. I don’t know what I should answer him.“Caden!” I couldn’t speak a word at all after that. My lips start to shiver in fear. It was all his sins but telling his own son about his sin could be the most torturous thing that could happen in the whole world.I am scared that Caden would break down. I am scared that he wouldn’t be able to handle the pain that the truth would give him.“It’s nothing. I just happen to talk to your dad and he was saying that if something happens to the child, he might even kill me,” I say. When he hears that he looks at me with furious eyes and then to the door of his dad’s office.“I think I need to talk to him. How can he even say that?” he walks inside the house without a single warning. He bangs the door like he is going to break it down into thousands of pi
Chapter 96 *** ESTHER*** I don’t where are we going. I don’t know where we might end up. We don’t have much of a penny. Well! I do have a few in my bank account but Caden is even more penniless than me right now. We are both a horse who doesn’t know where our destiny actually is right now. But still, we don’t want to stop at all. Although the way is blurry and I can end up in hell, I want to go along with him, right at this time. I don’t want to end up with everyone but there is only one person whom I can follow even when he is walking down the path of death, Caden. But that doesn’t mean that I am going to let him die in the middle. No, I am not going to do that. I am going to stop you from going down it and will try to save you console you and be together with you on your bad days. Till yesterday, I had some other thoughts in my mind. I wanted to do something that was going to separate both of us at this instant but right now, I don’t want to do that. The man right beside me is n
Chapter 97 ***ESTHER*** “Caden! This is… This is so beautiful,” close my mouth with both of my palms being awestruck with the beauty in front of me. This is an old wooden house, almost twenty years old I guess. But the design in it is so beautiful. The woods are still pretty and they smell really good while the garden is still maintained. I can see so many kinds of plants around it and beautiful variety of peonies surrounding around the house. “Does somebody live over here?” I ask. It’s obvious to ask that question to him cause the house sees as if someone is taking care of it since a very long time. “Yeah,” he smiles as he says that. It seems like he knows who lives over there. “Dorothy!” he calls. I am shocked to hear a girl’s name in his mouth. How the hell he knows the girl who lives miles away from the city area and is calling her name with such happiness? It makes me a little bit irked to see that happiness when he is calling her with that huge smile. He calls her name on
Chapter 98***ESTHER*** By the way, they are communicating and staring at each other, I have an earnest wish to know who she is. I want to ask Caden about her. I want to ask Caden about her but I am not getting time to ask him about that.When I am lost in my own thoughts watching them, I feel someone pulling the hem of my dress down on my knees. It’s her. The little girl Dorothy.“Hey!” I call her as I pull her over to my lap but she doesn’t seem to come to me.“Are you his wife?” she asks and her voice is quite irky like she isn’t happy that I am his wife. Well! I actually am not his wife but I don’t like the way she is asking that question. It sounds quite rude. But it’s fine as long as she is cute. She is just a child. I cannot be angry with a child, right?“Ummm… Not now. But I guess I will be one day,” I answer. After hearing my answer, she turns over to her mother and smiles. What’s that weird smile and why?“Momma, she said they aren’t married yet. She isn’t his wife. Why wou
Chapter 99***ESTHER***I cannot believe my eyes when I see the thing in front of my eyes. I don’t know whether to believe my eyes or not.“This picture!” I say in exclamation.“Oh! This one. This place belonged to my sister when she was here. Dad made this place for her to spend time when she wanted to be refreshed and wanted to write the poems,” she says.“You mean Caden’s mother?” I ask.“Yeah,” she replies.“Mom wrote poems?” Caden asks.“Of course, she did. You can still find some of her poems in the school’s library. She used to love writing poems a lot,” she answers. I am shocked to know about her but Caden seems to be shocked over here but that shock is quite pleasant.“Mom loved writing and we never knew about that,” he smiles and tears down. It’s really rare to see Caden crying. Seeing him crying makes my eyes wet in no time.“Maybe it was her choice to do that,” she says.“But that’s not the thing that I am shocked about right now. The thing is my dad, my dad is over there
Chapter 100 ***CADEN*** “What do you mean by surrogate mother? Why would that bastard need a child? When he has such three lovely kids? What’s wrong with him? Something is really going on in that man’s mind or else he wouldn’t do something like this. I know how much he hates the kid. It can’t be because he loves the kid,” she says in a suspicious way. She really knows a lot about dad. I have never known my aunt knows a lot about him cause I rarely saw my aunt in our house when I was young. She must have visited mom when I was little or when I can’t remember. “Caden, why is you stupid dad want to have child at his age? Do you know why?” she asks. I shake my head because I don’t know anything about it. “Dad remarried? Don’t you know about that? Werent you informed about it?” I ask. “What? When? Why? You must be joking?” she gives a sarcastic laugh. I don’t know why is she laughing at him right now but it completely shows that she doesn’t believe what happened to him. “Few months
Chapter 101 ***ESTHER*** The first sight that I see as soon as I open my eyes are the twinkling stars right above my head and they are many. For some moments, I feel as if I am seeing the dream. I have never seen a lot of stars in a long time. I don't know if I had thought they were less important to ever observe or maybe they were less visible in the high pollution of the city area, I just hadn't seen them as beautiful as they are right now. And most of all, the moon shining in between them as the brightest catches my attention the most. They all look amazingly beautiful, the stars and the moon and even the dark sky. "You see them? See how they are twinkling even in that dark sky?" I hear Caden's voice right beside me and his voice shocks me all of a sudden. I didn't know that he is right beside me and watching me watching the stars in the sky. I quickly steer my head to his side. He smiles as he sees me and pulls me closer to him. "Take a glance at them, Esther. Don't they lo
Chapter 102***ESTHER***She walks steps ahead of us. Maybe because she is a child and is very energetic than us, she reaches the house before we do. In case of me, I feel quite tired even after walking only that much. It is just ten minute's distance but for me, it was like climbing a tall mountain.Holy Jesus! I hadn’t felt like this when I was pregnant before. I was so much energetic and so much active before but I don’t seem to be the same as that now.I am starting to sweat just after those few steps like I have done some heavy work.“You okay?” Caden asks me as he holds my arms. I let him do that as I am not feeling quite well.“A little dizzy, I guess,” I say.“Should I take you to the hospital?” he asks. I shake my head. I am sure it is just some normal pregnancy problem. I have already been pregnant once. So, I know this kind of thing happens at times. It’s not a strange thing.“No. I will be fine once I have something and take some rest,” I say and we both walk inside the ho
