***ESTHER***"Yes."The moment this answer comes out of his lips, I feel as if my whole world is crumbled, like my whole world has shaken just like an earthquake and every monuments inside it has been crushing into thousands of pieces.I wish I have never heard it. I wish I have never asked him about that.After hearing positive answer from him, I exhale a heavy breath like so much of me have been taken out from my body."H...How? W...Why?" I ask with eyes full of tears. I can't believe I have someone who is associated with the death of my closest right now.He doesn't speak as he hears that question and keeps on hanging his head down on the floor."Why the hell are you hanging your head on the floor? Why? Why did you do that to them? Why?" I couldn't hold my emotions anymore. My quick steps tread to him and my hands start to hit on his chest. He deserves to be punched. He deserves to be shot and he deserves to be killed as well.I hit him with my hands as much as I can. As a physical
Chapter 86***CADEN***She told me that she has gone somewhere important. I am sure she has gone to visit her mother. Sometimes, I wish she would take me to meet her mother someday.She told that she doesn't have good bonding with her mother. I'm sure she might have hard time dealing with her.I thought that she would call me after she is back but she doesn't call me. I wait for her call but she doesn't call me at all."Where's Esther?" Caisey asks me as she doesn't find her."Hasn't she returned yet?" I ask. She shakes her head.Now, I am getting tensed. Why would she not return back yet?I try to call her phone but it is coming unreachable. I keep on trying but it's not of use. Caisey does the same but she doesn't get to reach her too."Where could she be gone? Did you do anything to hurt her? Or did you say anything painful to her?" she asks me."No! I haven't done anything to her. She told me she has to go somewhere after meeting Daisy and I'm sure that was to meet her mother in
***CADEN*** “Esther!” my eyes move from the floor to her face as I see her legs in the door. She doesn’t seem right. She seems weird. I tread my quick steps to her and hug her as soon as I could. “Where in the hell were you? I have been searching for you so long. What has happened to your phone?” I shout as I hug her. I couldn’t help but shout at her but also caress her hair and her back. Actually, that is not scolding but that’s my heartfelt concern and worry for her. She doesn’t know what has been going on inside me for last few hours. I have a rush of tsunami inside my heart sweeping my every ounce of hope little by little with every minutes of her disappearance. How can I ever explain it to her that she is more important than me to me? “Caden! Caden!” she calls me. “Yes, what is it?” I keep on caressing her back and won’t let her go. I am scared that if I let her go for one more time, I can’t control myself. I cannot risk to let her go anywhere. I did today and this all happe
***ESTHER***I close the door as soon as I get inside and lean against the back of the door. It’s hard. It’s really hard to stay even for some more minutes in front of him. Not because I hate him. I don’t hate him but because still after knowing a lot about him, I cannot hate him.I cannot make myself abhor him for what was done by hi father and in a way it is completely unjust to hate him for his dad’s sins. But…But I couldn’t just help myself from avoiding him. I know it’s not right but I just cannot.I long to see that smile on his face all day long. I want him to wait for me and see that immense pleasure after I am back to him in the evening but I just can’t do it right now.The moment I see his face, I get reminded of the people whom I lost that night. My dad, my boyfriend and my child whom I loved more than myself. All of their faces come in front of me and suddenly my eyes get filled with so much of grief. I want to cry so much hard and shout out to the world that that wasn’t
Chapter 89***ESTHER***“Since…when.. were…you…standing over…there?” I stutter as I step back from his hold and see him standing behind the door with so many questions both in his words and in his eyes.“That’s not important. Tell me what’s going on? What were you doing? Is something wrong?” he asks and walks towards me without noticing the piece of glass laying below his feet. Before I could say anything to him, the piece of glass below his feet pierces him but even after that intense pierce, he doesn’t show an ounce of pain on his face and walks towards me with full confidence.He picks me up from the ground and carries me on his arms in bridal style and walks me towards the bed. He doesn’t look at my face for a single moment and places me over there. Is he angry with me? He would be right? I cannot expect him to be happy with the condition of my room right now?But I don’t think it’s anger that he is carrying right now. It’s worry. Clear and full worry in his face. He looks unhapp
Chapter 90 ***CADEN*** I can’t get over the fact that she is so reserved right now. I don’t know but she looks weird, like something is going o in her mind, like she has gone through something harsh today. I wanted to know but seems like she isn’t ready to tell me anything about it. Did she hear something weird fro Daisy? I don’t think Daisy would do something to hurt anybody. She isn’t the kind of person like that. As per my information she really was a kind soul before. I am sure he did nothing to hurt her. I want to call her and ask her if something happened between them but fuck! I don’t have her number.Well! There might be other reasons too. The reasons like she must have met her mother and had a bad conversation with her. I am sure that might be the reason. I don’t think matters other than that would hurt her like this. She really seems to be hurt and I really don’t want to see her like that. I want her to open up to me and pour out all the sorrows that’s bottled up in her
***CADEN***“Esther! Tell me who was it? Do I know that person?” I hold both of her arms and look at her eyes with anticipation. She looks at me with confusion, like she both wants and doesn’t want to tell me.“Actually, I… I don’t know,” she says as she wipes her tears away from her eyes.“You don’t know about them?” I ask.“No! I don’t. That’s painful right? I didn’t know that my family were murdered till now and the fact that that wasn’t just an accident but some murderous attempt hurts like hell. As their remaining member of the family, how can I never know about it? That’s so selfish of me that instead of digging into that matter, I … I always tried to run away from it. I always thought of erasing those memories away from mind. That’s so selfish of me. It was my dad, my boyfriend and more than anything else, my child was over there. How can I ? How can I not know what happened to them?” she cries bitterly.I have never seen her cry like that. I can never understand what might be
Chapter 92***ESTHER*** I walk into the bathroom as he leaves for the grabbing some outfits. I know it sounds illogical but I hate him leaving and at the same time, I love him leaving. I don’t know how should I just recall this but that really sounds absolutely weird to me. But I think leaving would give me more of pleasure than him being here. I get inside and take off every bits of fabrics covering my body. It is cold, so much cold and that isn’t because the weather is cold or so. It’s because my soul is cold. My body is heated up but my soul is feeling very much cold right now. I twist the tap and the drops of water sprinkle down on my body. My skin gets astonished with the cold drops of water making me feel melancholic within me. Standing there in front of the shower makes me remember all the things that happened last night. I wanted to tell him. I wanted to tell him everything about his dad. How he killed all of my family except my mom? I wanted to tell him, his dad is monste
