***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
***CADEN*** I can’t believe my dad asked her to leave me. I never thought that he could get so much cheap like some television melodramatic series. This man is really unbelievable and crazy. “Don’t believe him. Don’t take him serious,” I say as I place my hands to cup her cheeks. “I mean, it’s true. Whatever he might be threatening you with might turn out to be true. He never get back on his words but I am not giving up because he has threatened me with it. I am going to protect you with everything and every ounce of strength I have within me. You have to trust me Esther, please. I am going to break every walls that are protecting him and behind which he does all of his evil deeds. The world should be displayed the true colors of him,” I say. She fixes her eyes on mine and grabs my wrists which are below her face. “I know Caden and I am always going to trust you,” she smiles as her eyes get closed in surity that she believes me. I love her. I lover her so much that I just canno
***CADEN*** “Are you suspecting me for all that happened to your sweetest girlfriend? Caden, how could you do that?” Natalie shouts. I know she is absolutely pissed off right now but that’s the truth and I know better than anyone else that she is trying every way possible to cover up the mess she had created. “You shouldn’t have done that Nat. You just shouldn’t have done that. You were the closest one that I had as a friend. How could you back stab me like that?” I try to sat as calm as possible. “Stop! Just stop with whatever you are doing right now. How could you blame me? How could you accuse me of something so huge? And you know I would never back stab you Caden. Why would I do that? You have been my friend for last three years and I fucking love you so much,” she gets up from the bed and hits the wall in beside me. She leans her forehead on the wall. Her hair covers her head completely as she keeps on slapping the wall with her palms. I don’t know if she is crying right now
***CADEN*** “Here, it is,” Esther hands me a cup of coffee and looks amazingly at me. She takes a seat right next to me and grabs my criss-cross our hand and lean her head on my shoulders gently. “What happened? You look disturbed?” she asks. “Disturbed? Not really but I just saw someone who dragged my attention to her,” I answer. “Really? Who?” she lifts her head up and looks at my face in the expectation of answer. “Daisy,” I say. “Daisy? Here in the hospital?” she asks me. I nod my head. She doesn’t ask me any more questions but she leans her head back to my shoulder and clutch my shoulders. “Caden!” she asks. “Hmm…,” I hum. “Is Daisy really beautiful?” Her question made me sense the little ounce of jealousy in it. I smileas I hear that. “Yeah, very beautiful. She could be tagged as Miss beauty of the whole country,” I say. I know that isn’t correct but I just want to play little game with her and have little fun. “Oh! Really? Is she extremely beautiful? I swear you wo
***ESTHER*** Caden sends me her address in my phone. I never thought that the girl with whom I bumped in the cafeteria. And she is pregnant, that’s what shocks me even more. Well! She is indeed beautiful. She has beautiful green eyes, curly brown hair over her waist and beautiful porcelain skin, pink lips and her subtle smile when she talks with people. She didn’t seem like an extroverted person at all. I can sense her innocent aura from her face, like she is too delicate even to shout. But I could easily sense that she wasn’t happy. She was sad. Why would someone be unhappy after hearing that she is getting pregnant? But when I looked around, she was alone and without her husband or her boyfriend. Does that mean that baby was unwanted by her pair? Was she unhappy because of that? But the more shocking news is, she is Daisy. I mean she is the same girl, his dad asked him to marry but isn’t it shocking that she is already pregnant. I am sure it is of Cohen. Caden had told me tha
***ESTHER*** I am just so much shocked to hear him talk about my dad. I have never heard anyone talk about my dad after that accident. You know what, Mr. Payne was my dad’s classmate but I have never heard him talk about my dad all this time.“How do you know about my dad?” I ask. “So, you’re his daughter?” he asks. “Yes, I am his daughter but how do you know about my dad?” I reiterate. “I was incharge of his case. The one in which there was huge embezzlement of money. And in the one in which he was killed,” he says. “Killed? What do you mean by killed? M dad wasn’t killed. It was an accident,” I say. He laughs as he hears that and looks at his daughter for a while and then looks back to me. “Can I talk to you for a bit? I think we have a long history to discuss right now,” he says. I don’t know but for some reason, it makes me want to listen to him and hear what he has to tell me about my dad. “Well! Let’s go to my office,” he says. I look back at Daisy. She calms me as she
***ESTHER*** “Stop her, I don’t want to see her face. Tell her never to visit again and not to threaten me with brazen threats. She can abandon me if she likes. I don’t have any problem with that,” I hear the sounds of my mom inside the cabin. She is shouting at her nurse loudly and scaring the hell out of her. She is standing right in front of the bed and moving her whole body along with her hands. Her action seems really to be intimidating right now. “But mam! She is your daughter. You need to see her one day. You can’t always avoid her from meeting you. I have heard that she really wants to talk to you about some important stuff,” the nurse tries to convince her. “Why don’t you get it? She is my daughter and that is why I don’t want to meet her. I don’t want to face her and expect to see the questions she might ask me in the future. I am scared to see her. I know she doesn’t know anything but I am scared one day, she will knock the door of my heart and would want to know t
***ESTHER*** “Have you ever known the fact that I wasn’t the first love of your dad?” she asks me. What? I have never known that fact all my life. I have never seen my dad and mom quarrel over the things and I have never heard them even argue or have discussion with each other. They were really hard to deal with couple. I mean no one would just understand each other just like that. They were too good to be just true. Hence, never in my life that question ever occurred. Who was the first love of my dad?I had always thought that it was her, my mother and strongly believed that all my life. However, hearing that the truth that I had believed all my life has now turned out to be the false assumption shocks me on one side while it hurts me that my mother isn’t the one he loved. “It’s not even possible,” I say. “I knew you wouldn’t believe that. The relationship between your dad and me was bound my trust and respect for each other. I know he had done the same to me all his life but I
Final chapter***CADEN***One has to pay for the sins that they committed all their life. But, I don't know what sin I had committed and I don't know what sins my mom and Esther had committed that we had to suffer a lot.I don't think I had done a great sin ever in our life. So, the truth is we all suffered from the sun that someone else has committed. We all suffered because of the sin, Cameron Payne has committed.I rush out of the office as soon as I hear that.He deserved that. After killing life of so many people he deserves to die like that."Where is he rushed to?" I ask as I run to the car."To the City Centre Hospital," he says. He drives the car for the destination.It's been a year that I have been planning for this day but seeing that without even lifting my pinky finger something happened to him makes me kind of mad.How? Why?There is not even a little bit of remorse on my face on his accident but somewhere in my heart I become restless as my heart beats quick and fast
Chapter 114 ***CADEN***A year later"Boss! We have a meeting scheduled with Cameron Payne," my assistant knocks on my door.I look at him and nod my head."I'll be there," I say as I stand up from my seat.I have waited for this day for so long. It's been a year. A complete one year, two days and fourteen hours that she has been away from me.I don't know where she is. What is she doing and what happened to her?I remember that night when me and Carlos reached on the research center. 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. We waited for almost three days without food, without water just like a zombie but there was no trace that they were going to open that door for us.On the third day, I became unconscious and that was what brought me to the hospital.I was rushed to the hospital and was hospitalised for two days. I don't know when did
Chapter 113 ***ESTHER***"My baby was prematurely delivered and without even my consent. I was just a surrogate mother," I say and Cavendish looks at me with a shocking eyes."What? 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
Chapter 111 ***ESTHER***I slowly open my eyes and see the world of machines, doctors and medicines all around me. There are six of them in the room. Where am I? In surgery room?I want to move my hands to see my stomach. I want to check if the baby is alright. But my hands are tied. 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. My tears keep on flowing from the corner of my eyes rapidly. I can feel my tears wetting my hair.But the fact that I am alive makes me happy. It gives me the courage to embrace myself one more time. 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.
Chapter 110 ***CADEN***I rush angrily to my dad's home. How dare he? How dare he do that to Esther? I had warned him. I had warned him numerous times but even after all of those warnings, he keeps on doing the things that always gets on my nerve.I travelled six hours long taxi ride just to see the man whom I hate so much. God damn! This man!"Cameron Payne!" I shout with a loud voice. I don't know if he is in the house. But I'm sure I'm going to kill him if I find him here.I look at his room but he isn't there. 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? Where does she live?I stop my feet as I turn back and ask the head servant," Where is his wife?" I ask.
Chapter 109***ESTHER***This smell! This smell is so much bad. It's the smell of tyre burning. I hate this smell. And this clouds of smoke, I can't see anything in front of me. Where am I? Where in the hell am I?I try to open my eyes but I don't get to. It's stinging like hell. What happened? What in the hell happened?I am tied on the chair. My hands are tied behind and my legs are tied too. I can feel my wedding dress hugging my body but I am not able to see anything.There isn't a single sound around here and luckily my mouth isn't taped or closed with some clothes.But God damn! I'm kidnapped. I'm kidnapped for god's sake.I try to open up the rope that has tied me from behind. I still cannot open my eyes."Caden! Caden!" I shout his name. Slowly, I remember what happened before.I was hit by someone in my head, someone from behind. I saw him. I saw that fucking bastard Cameron over there.How did he get over there? We even switched off our phones not to let him know where we we
Chapter 108***CADEN***Her smile is what I love to see the most in the whole world. We both don't know what is laid in front of our future but we really don't want to give up in any part of this journey. I know there would only hurdles in front of us but I don't want to give up on her. I want to be part of her, in her sorrows and in her happy times together.What could make me more elated than being her husband? I am more than just excited to be her husband.She wants to file a case against Cameron Payne and I have a full support in that. I hate to tell him my dad. I have always hated to but now I really don't want to get reminded that he is my dad. He is dead for me.He has made so many people suffer and cry that it's shameful to introduce him as my father. I have lost my mother because of his selfish motive and she lost her three members of her family. It's hard. It's not only the number of members but it's a emotion, the soul that he has killed.I can't tell how much I hate him.
Chapter 107***ESTHER***"For what?" she asks. I see her eyes looking at me with curiosity and innocence. But it's a first time that she has looked at me like that. 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
