***ESTHER***

“Are you ready?” the piano pedagogue asks me as I stand in front of the piano. It’s been few months that I haven’t played these keys. I had longed to play them but my melancholy wouldn’t just let me to.

“Yes, teacher,” I say and sit on the bench in front of the piano. I place my fingers on the white keys and start to warm-up with the softer music and gradually, without even realizing that I have become familiar with this new set of piano which I have never played in my whole life, I start to deepen into the music enunciating from those keys.

They’re just so much beautiful. I don’t even realize that I have been lost in that melody. I want to sing right now. I want to sing for him. That was his last wish. He wanted me to sing. He wished to die a melodious death.

My subconscious mind keeps on ringing my heart and making my tears to flow down without even thinking. Or maybe I have never thought at all. I was always thoughtless. I was always free minded and did the things

    ***ESTHER*** Is he looking at me? God damn! I quickly turn away my eyes to the direction of Natalie who is with the trays of food. I give a faint smile to her making the stupidity that I did few moments ago go unnoticed. “Hey! Caden! Why are you there? Come over here,” she calls him. I’m sure they have the habit of having the lunch together but I wish they wouldn’t do that ever. “If you insist,” he says. What? He is coming over here? After what I have told him few moments ago? “Why would you call him here? I guess he is comfortable over there?” I say. “I suppose but I always call him and he never bothers to come to my table. I don’t know what is so wrong with him today? He is walking over here. Is it because….,” she steers her head towards me suspiciously. What do these eyes mean? “Because?” I shake my head to ask her the same question. Honestly, I feel so much nervous with her right now. My head feels like spinning and there is pit formed on my stomach trying to figure out what

    ***CADEN*** She walks away with her bag away from the cafeteria after that. I don’t like her walking away like that. “You guys stay here. I have some important business to take care of,” I stand up as I follow her behind. “Caden… but,” I hear Natalie’s voice but I don’t have any intention to stop in the middle at all. I know I have angered her but that’s what I wanted to do it. The fact that she said to stay away from her just ticked my mind a lot and because of that I can’t just stay in my right mind. She walks furiously to the exit door and I suddenly grab her wrist from the behind. She halts as she feels that I have gripped her hand and turns around. “What the hell are you doing Caden?” she glares at me. Her eyes run toward my hand which are gripping hers and towards the people around us. It makes me want to look around as well. Yeah! People surely are looking at us right now. I don’t want to embarrass her at all. So, I leave her hand and try to talk calmly. “Esther! Have yo

    ***ESTHER***I sit in the chair in the garden in front of the university. Honestly, I don’t know what do I want from Caden. I hate him coming nearer to me. It makes me feel like he is going to read everything that I have been hiding from everyone but the uninteresting fact is that I hate him when I told him to stay completely away from me.What does my heart want actually?I unpack my bag and take out a book from my bag. It’s THE GREAT GATSBY. I have read this book several times and every time, I read this book, my heart cries for Jay Gatsby. But I don’t think I can do that anymore.After reading this book for another time, I have promised that I am never going to cry for him. Isn’t this so foolish of him to fall for those stupid tricks of Daisy every time? I can’t believe a man like Jay who knows a lot of things and have a strong knowledge of people would do the same mistake of being betrayed by Daisy again and again.I am in the dilemma either to read or not read the book one more t

I am not interested in guys in the first place and in the seconds place Caden isn’t the type of guy that I would like to have.“NO! That’s not it,” I open my both palms and shake it.“So, is he your crush?” he asks.“NO! Impossible. I won’t have crush on him. I ain’t a mad man,” I say.“Then why do you care about him? I mean you asked me to check on him. Is there some specific reasons?” he asks.“Specific reasons, you say? Should there be some specific reasons?” I turn my gazes down to the floor and then say afterwards.“Just think that I am indebted to him. I just have something to pay to him,” I say.“That means you are single, right?” he asks.I drink my orange juice and smile looking at him.“Chris! I’m pregnant,” I say and he chokes on his drink suddenly.“What?” he asks.“You’re a doctor and you will know abo

    ***CADEN*** I thought it would hurt me when I get hit by them but instead I feel quite good after getting hit from them but I feel unconscious after that. When I wake up in the hospital, it’s Natalie whom I see at first. “Nat!” I say. “You’re awake,” she wipes away the tears from her eyes. She seems oddly ugly when she cries. Like I think she looks more beautiful when she is lively. “Caden… What happened to you? I heard you fought with him? Why did you do that?” she sobs. “Nat!” I pronounce her name in very low voice. “Hmm…,” her sobbing is still continued. “Did anyone tell you that you look so much ugly when you cry like that?” I say and she gazes at me for a while and then smiles looking at me. “Oh! Caden! You told that because you wanted me not to cry right?” she says. But I didn’t tell her to make her pause from crying. She genuinely looks so much ugly right now. “No! I am not lying. You really look so much ugly right now,” I say blatantly. She blinks her eyes couple of t

    ***CADEN***“So, she is your mom?” I hear a male’s voice when I am busy watching her rush from behind. I rotate my head around as I hear that voice. It’s a male doctor.“Excuse me! I don’t get you,” I raise my brows. If I concentrate well on his words, I hear him say that she is my mom. Whom is he referring to?“No! It’s nothing. How’s your fever?” he asks as he places the digital thermometer inside my mouth.He’s weird.He takes my temperature and then goes through my pressure and until that time, she enters inside the ward with a bottle of water and fresh corndogs.She stops mid-way as she sees the doctor beside me and continues her walk after that.“Hey! Chris!” she calls him. She knows him. I hear her saying to him Chris not doctor. Seems like she is close to him.“Hello! Nice meeting you again,” he smiles at her. But the way, he smiles is way much more awkward than anything. Like he was smiling without his inner wish! “You brought food for him? Seems like you care about him a l

    ***ESTHER***“Friends, you say?” I raise my brows in stress. He wants me to be his friend. But what advantages are there for us to being friends? Friendship has never been a beneficial strategy in my all life but with Caden friendship is different. I cannot be a friend to a guy with whom I have already slept once. It… feels kind of strange to me.He nods his head.“No! We can’t be. We are better as a stranger,” I say as I leave his hand and make my way back to the ward.“Where are you going, Esther? I need help,” he shouts all of a sudden and I have to halt in the same spot. Yeah! I am here to help him. Natalie has asked me a favor for that.But honestly, I don’t know but I feel good being able to help him. Maybe, because he helped me last time to get treated properly, perhaps because he lied to his dad about my absence from home, or maybe because he got a slap for me, or maybe because of these all, I feel indebted to him.So, to say the truth, helping him is giving me such a huge el

This is going to be crazy. I don’t think I have this much money in my account, I guess.I check my account for assurance before I pay for it. But when I logged in to the account, my eyes almost bulged out from my skull.“What the shit is this?” I cannot stop blinking my eyes. Why the hell the digits of my money increased suddenly in my account with such a huge range? I didn’t even know when this money came into my account. Did I miss any messages from the bank?I check my message box and yes, there it is. The message which says someone has deposited that much huge money in my account. And that someone is not just someone, it’s Cameron Payne.“Did he pay me in advance? What’s going on? He was supposed to pay me after the delivery of the baby but seems like he did half the payment before that.“Aren’t you pay

At that time, we realized that there is no entrance to that center until and unless Cameron Payne lets us to enter inside.And there was no way that he would let us enter inside that door.

In how many months and why?" he asks me as he gulps the fire roasted meat into his mouth. Not a big piece but a small piece."Six and half months maybe. I'm afraid if the child is even alive," I look at the fire with my pensive eyes. I pray that the baby is alright and he make it to the world but even after I pray a lot I cannot think that the baby have so much chance of not making it to this world. The thought of it makes me scared but I cannot stop thinking about it.I know it's a negative thought but even after I try so hard not to think about it, it's what my mind is filled with it."Then, I'm sure the child didn't make it," he adds in it and though I know that might have happened being assured by him torments my heart to the hell.I don't say any word but just she'd tears."I promised myself that I w

    Chapter 112 ***ESTHER***It's cold. It's freaking cold. My whole body feels like I am somewhere in the middle of the sea. What's this sound?Is it the sound of moving waves? That can't be. Or is it? Is it really what I am thinking of cause it feels absolutely something like that?I gently open my eyes. As soon as I open my eyes, the bright beam of sunlight almost blinds my eye.What's going on? My hands feel numb but I manage to use them. I raise them up closer to me. It's wet.I am right.I am in the water. I quickly get up from where I am lying. I look at my lower portion of the body. It's alright but I am still too weak to walk.They had performed surgeries on me. I still have my wounds in my body?I get up and sit upright in the sandy shore. I am here. I don't know where am I? He threw me over here. That damn bastard threw me over here.I look around the place. There is nothing that I can see like a civilization or human kind. This is ... Some lonely island that I have never hear

There is no way I can reach my stomach this way.I don't feel anything over there. I guess they have ...they have already ...I cannot control myself. I don't have any energy to do that and I cannot move my lower parts of body. What did they do?I cry loud but my voice creaks. My voice doesn't come as it should have come.

And this is not decreasing my hope. Not even a little bit.I am bound to do that. I am bound to take revenge and and I will do that in any way. I am not giving up whatever they break of me.

The head servant in his house comes out and informs that he isn't in the house. He set off for somewhere yesterday and hasn't returned back since then."Where? Where did he go?" I shout at him."We don't know young master," he says.I shuffle my hair in frustration and walk downstairs. I look around his house but I don't find anyone in there. Where does he keep his wife?

She hasn't done that since I have come over here. She has been ignoring me since I came over here like I never existed in her world."For taking you wrong. For not being able to sit with you and communicate with you properly," I say."You don't have to do that. You don't need to communicate with me. I don't feel like talking with you after all," she says.That's hurts a little but I knew that from the very start."I know but can we talk? Who knows we might have something that's common," I say.She looks at me with those weird eyes and then turns back."We don't have anything in common except Caden, I guess," she says."Oh! Yeah! We both do have him as common," I follow her trying to catch with her footsteps."Why do you like him so much?" I ask. She looks at me and then returns back to walking."I don't know. Maybe because
