Episode- 54

         I sat beside her, Estella…. Should I forgive you?..... I touched her cheeks, she is scared of me now, doesn’t talk to me, eye contact with her is now rare…. I don’t know if I can forgive you or not… but one thing I know is I can’t never let you go… I can’t imagine a single day without you…. I said I hate you, I tortured you, but you can never understand what I felt when I did that… the anger and hate for myself is beyond explanation… I was sleepless every night after I beat you, forced you.. I can’t understand was it punishment  for me and you…

  My anger and pain overpowered my love for you…. I never thought we would meet this future… I wanted this child to be born out of love. You’re an mine.. but now I feel guilty… I want you and this child, I was happy to know I was going to be a father, but I hated myself for that… I failed to express my happiness… when you thought I will kill my own child, I understand I broke you from inside… but can I forgive you, I can’t… even if I want to… my father’s dead face come in front of me… what should I do…

  I didn’t realize my eyes were teary, I touched her hair and whispered, “Why?… Estella…. Why  did you choose that? You should have chosen me that day… If that day can be vanished from our lives, then we would be different..”

    I maid knocked the door and said, “I apologize for disturbing you, Your Majesty… but His Majesty King Lionel asked you to meet him… he informed me it is urgent….”…. I nodded and walked out of the room..

   Soon I was sitting in front of brother…He looked worried, I asked, “What is it.. brother… what is wrong..”

   He sighed and said, “Tristan and other slaves of Celladore escaped…. The messenger informed me just now.. they killed the guards in charge of them…. they are nowhere to be  found…” I banged on the table this is hard to digest… the anger is too much…

      I said, “Water Village… that’s where he hides”

    Brother said, “They checked it… the village is empty… like no one stays there in years…..” damn!!!..

    Brother said, “He will go against us… he is not that simple… someone helped him.. but it’s not important.. we need to find him, before he plans for something…  I will ask for a search..”

   I got up and said, “No use of that… No need to search him. He will come here by himself… to take her… “

   Brother said as he knew what I was speaking, “Estella…”

   I am angry, but I passed a nod, I said, “He will be here for her… soon.. will try to take her from me… she is the only one he cares for…. But we have to put people in search so he would not know about our original plan… arrange a ball in Celladore after 6 years…  and wait for the guest… so I can kill him….” I smirked.. the fact he will come here in her search is making my blood boil…

      Brother Lionel said, “What are you saying Adrian… Estella will be in danger, the unborn child.. do you even think of both of them..” I banged on the table in anger, I said, “I do care about my child and my women… Estella is more important to me than this child… I will protect her at any cost.. she is my responsibility….”  Brother thought for a moment, and then said, “When to arrange the banquette…”

   I smirked and said, “5 days later.. that’s enough time for him to sneak in….”
