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
Chapter 103***ESTHER***“Esther! Esther! Wake up!” I hear his shouts. I open my eyes slowly as I see him dim in front of my eyes. I am rubbing my eyes trying to decipher what is going on but before I could say or do anything, I am pulled up by him.And after that… I get into reality. I see it’s still dark outside through the attic and I don’t realize what the hell is Caden trying to do.“What happens? Why are you waking me up in the middle of the night?” I shout at him.“In the middle of the night? Esther, it’s 4 am in the morning,” he says.“So? It is always 4 am of the morning right at this time,” I say trying to get away from his hands but he is gripping my hands firmly that I cannot let go of my hand from him.He is taking me somewhere and I am following like a good little child. He isn’t rough and he isn’t being harsh to me. He is gentle yet stubborn and he will take me somewhere where he wants to take me at any cost. He is behaving exactly like a child who tries to show his par
Chapter 104***CADEN***Did I just mishear something? I'm sure she doesn't mean the thing she is saying right now. How can Esther's dad be my mother's first love? Just how?"You aren't serious, are you aunt? How could you say something like that? What if Esther listens to what you are saying?" I say."I am not joking around Caden. Do you think I would joke about the life of my dead sister? I don't even dream about it in my imagination. Listen to me first. Listen to me child," she says trying to calm me down. I know it's a history for her but it's a shock for us.This new information is giving me a great torrent and I'm sure this is going to give even more turbulence to Esther's heart when she finds out about it."But it's wrong. It's wrong if they loved each other," I stubbornly say."How could you say that Caden? They loved each other even before meeting your dad. He was the first ever man whom she loved a lot and wanted to spend her whole life with him," she says."Then what happene
Chapter 105 ***ESTHER*** It burns my heart to know that Cameron wanted to kill my dad years ago even when I wasn’t even born, even when he hadn’t even met my mother. I hated the fact that my dad didn’t love my mother but his mother instead all his life. I feel bad for my mother though she was the one who was understanding in this whole situation. But somewhere in my heart, I feel bad for my dad and most of all his mother too. I don’t want to be selfish but when aunt Era tells me about what Caden’s mother had to go through I cannot but be sad about her. I feel bad for her. After hearing the story, I don’t think there was any wrong there. My dad and her, mt even before my mother. They met and fell madly for each other but look at the funny part of the Karma. It sometimes fucks up with the wrong people, to the people who don’t deserve to be served like that. Or I would say, it does that time and again. But the more shocking thing over here isn’t that one. The more shocking thing was
Chapter 106 ***ESTHER***"Esther!" He calls me. I turn my head towards him. I can see his face clearly right now as the day has already started to begin."Hmmm," I just hum."Dorothy! It's about her. Please, don't go harsh on her and don't hate her. She is just alone and is quite different than others," he says.Honestly, I hate that he brought her up in the early morning after such a romantic time we spent together. But still I would like to listen to him whatever he says."How is she different?" I ask."You see Dorothy was born prematurely in just five months, I heard and when she was two and half, she lost her dad. He was in marine. Aunt was devastated at his loss and she didn't know what she should do actually at that time. The lake we have been just now is where Dorothy fell by an accident. Aunt thinks it's all because of her that she fell. Thank god, she was saved but Dorothy was different from that event. She was an active child before that but everything changed after that.
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
