BXBX NOVEL Chapter 128 - Murderer!
SASHA PALACE,
Awakened by Esme\'s thunderous tone, Ethan consciously glanced behind to take glimpse of the woman that he had tormented just now. Watching her pitiful state yet concerned for him, his heart wrenched in pain that made his breath becoming unsteady all of sudden.
Breaking their eye contact, he watched her sister\'s disdainful expression before replying softly,
" Serena, we should talk first. Don\'t we? Can we leave this matter aside?"
Esme didn\'t wish to calm down but watching Athena nodding her head agreeing with Ethan\'s suggestion, she understood that she shouldn\'t interfere in this matter. As from her perspective of view, it was clear that they both had an unspeakable relationship.
Exhaling a deep breathe, she calmed down finally before letting her overwhelming happiness control her mind. Her eyes teared up watching the fingermarks that she left on Ethan\'s flushed cheek.
Sobbing softly, she jumped onto his arms before letting her tears fall down without reservation. She continued murmuring,
" I\'m sorry for hurting you. I have missed you, second brother."
Ethan smiled softly before grazing through her hairs and kissed over her head affectionately. He let her cry to vent out her emotions and replied murmuring back,
" I have missed you too, little. Where have you gone? I was gone insane while finding you. "
Esme sobbed before tilting her head up and asked curiously,
" My Ayra?"
Ethan sighed wiping her tears off and comforted softly,
" She is fine. Anna has been taking care of her well. But she always talks about you and wants to meet you. "
Esme\'s expression melted like water and replied anxiously,
" Where is she staying now? I need to see her fast. She must be thinking that her mommy has abandoned her. "
Ethan sighed lowering down his gaze and replied helplessly,
" We can\'t blame her after all."
Esme left out from his arms and asked gazing deep through his pained eyes,
" How have you been, second brother? How.. how did you appear here? "
Esme glanced behind and spotted Athena\'s perplexed face that appeared unreadable. Alternating between their faces, Esme figured out that she had a lot of things to know further.
On the contrary, Athena remained in her spot and smiled faintly at the harmonious scenario between two siblings. She subconsciously reminded the days that she spent with Aaron who used to dote on her like Ethan. But she can\'t blame him now. After she was the one who distanced their bond.
Sighing helplessly, she reminded that they were still at the pool side and the maids could appear here anytime to check on her. Thus she suggested softly clutching the towel around her tightly,
" Sister-in-law, can you guys talk inside the guest room? The maids can see Ethan anytime."
Esme quickly nodded with understanding and wandered her sharp eyes around skeptically. Watching no one presence nearby, she led Ethan upstairs leaving Athena pool side whose heart was filled with pain and agony.
Now she knew that Ethan would tell Esme everything regarding Edward\'s murder which might break Aaron and Esme\'s relationship too!
On the other side, Esme had guided Ethan inside the guest room safely and closed the door after ordering Carol to head outside. Even Carol was stunned too that Esme had found his brother here.
How come this fairies visit vampire world so easily?
She wandered in her mind while guarding over the doorstep and made sure that no maids had come nearby.
Esme turned around to face Ethan who had hold a mixed emotional face and asked,
" Now can you tell me why are you here?"
Ethan took a deep breath and faced Esme confidently while answering bitterly,
" I have come to avenge for our death brother."
Esme was stunned before asking back in disbelief,
" What? What.. what did you say?"
Ethan suppressed the immense anger that was slowly controlling his body and gazed through Esme\'s astonished eyes. Parting his lips slightly, he ordered deeply,
" Look into my eyes, little. You will know everything what I meant! "
Esme hesitated dwelling in numerous questions but still followed to hear Ethan this time. Her wings like eyelashes quivered in anticipation as she made her eye contact with Ethan nervously.
No one knew what was she fearing of! But the pain, hatred written all over Ethan\'s face was enough to ensure many things.
Soon after, Esme gazed through his abysmal eyes that brought her back to a particular moment from seven years ago.
A vision quickly appeared in front of her sight as she examined everything one by one. The familiar screaming tone, Edward\'s last words all replayed in front of her sight as she finally figured out what had happened seven years ago.
Within a few moments, her life has changed many directions discovering the unfolded truth after so many years that left her heartbroken and shattered tremendously.
As their magical vision finally came to end, Esme couldn\'t make to stand still as her body felt vulnerable. Staggering a step back, she barely managed to clutch the edge of couch before plopping down weakly.
Her tears were uncontrollable falling down like summer rain that showed no sign of stopping. Even taking a small breath was too painful for her heart as she managed to speak abruptly,
" When.. when.. did you find it out?"
Ethan didn\'t stop her from crying as he knew that how she felt at that moment. Sometimes crying is the best option to heal your pains. Gulping down his saliva, he answered in a low voice,
" Few days back! Now you know, why do I hate this woman so much, Esme? Even her entire family is a murder. Why did her brother abduct you? What do they want from us?"
Esme shook her head denying the accusation that fell upon Aaron instantly,
" Aaron isn\'t at fault. He wasn\'t there in your vision. "
Ethan laughed coldly and replied mockingly,
" How do you think that he is innocent? Huh? Are you bewitched by that beast? Tell me, why did he marry you then? There should be a reason, shouldn\'t be? As a king of all vampires, he can get any woman that he wants. Then why does he want you? Do you think that he fell in love with you? No, little. They can\'t never fall in love because vampires are heartless. "
Esme couldn\'t believe her own ears and felt a tinge of pain inside. Initially Ethan was stating the truth that couldn\'t be denied at all. Even she was questioning again and again but didn\'t get any response.
Why did he marry her? What could be the reason to marry a city girl?
Clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, she whispered weakly,
" There.. there can be another reason behind all of this.. He.. he isn\'t like his mother.."
Ethan was furious and knew that Ron had anticipated everything right. Because Esme wasn\'t willing to believe him wholeheartedly and thought that Aaron could be innocent here.
Thus he shouted angrily,
" Wake up from your dreame, Serena. He must be using you for a reason just like her who used me. You can\'t forget that who you are! I can already smell your power that has been unsealed inside you. What\'s the reason of staying with this ungrateful people?"
Esme pressed her palms over her ears tightly and screamed back,
" Stop! Stop! Stop brother! I know, I understand everything. But.. he.. he is my husband how can I.. "
Ethan shoot her a harsh glare making her stop and repeated his words sternly,
" They don\'t understand love, Serena. Count it in your head. I can understand that you feel emotions for him but he doesn\'t deserve it. They are the murders of our brother. You can\'t live with him. Ayra needs you."
Esme choked and asked back sobbing bitterly,
" Then where will I go, brother? Tell me? Our clan has banned me from the whole world. Even I can\'t now reappear in front of my human parents all of sudden. Who will I live with? Regarding Ayra, she founds her real mother now. She will..."
Ethan interrupted between her words coldly and corrected,
" She has only one mother and that is you. She doesn\'t need anyone more. "
Esme gasped widening her eyes apart in disbelief,
" Brother.. what.. do you mean by that? She has been seized from motherly love all these years. She needs to know that who is her real
mother! "
Ethan sneered coldly and replied looking up at her perturbed face,
" Ayra never lacked motherly love Serena. You have sacrificed so many years for her. Nothing won\'t change if she gets to know who her mother is. Furthermore Athena will be getting married soon. If her mother knows about Ayra, they will try to kill her again like before. You forgot that? "
Esme lowered her head down and contemplated in her thoughts. She knew that Ayra could be in danger but she couldn\'t help feeling guilty towards Athena for keeping Ayra hidden from her.
Esme slowly looked up at Ethan whose expression was darkened and asked in a low voice,
" Then what do you want now, brother?"
Ethan sighed deeply before knelt down in front of her slowly. Cupping her cheeks, he asserted truthfully,
" I just want our family being reunited like before, little. After I ascend the throne, I will take you back from here. As a king, I can change your ban from our world and accept Ayra as our family member. No one will dare to oppose me. Till then, I want you to be safe around the king and wait for me. "
Esme tapped on his palms lightly and sutured,
" But.. brother.. he.. is.. "
Ethan cutt of her words and consoled gently,
" Just your nominal husband who forced you to love him. This feelings will be gone once he will know that you belong to our clan. White and black creatures can\'t never be each others mate. You forgot the law?"
