Chapter 113 - Reconciled

Ch-112

Their friendship is ruined because of Arthur. And the things which made it worse was… When she has a tumor in her stomach, Michelle was the one who took care of her as Arthur has no time for her. After Esther recovered, Michelle insisted on breaking up with that man. They have a big fight over that issue but Esther was too strong over her strand. That was the last straw for Michelle. 

"Esther! You will regret being with him!" Michelle left after saying these lines. There were many times she regretted being with him. Esther wanted to run to her friend and hug her while crying her heart out. But she didn't dare to face her. If she had taken her advice back then, she wouldn't have ended up like this. 

Esther knew Michelle was a badass but a kind one towards the people who were close to her. The memories of Michelle ran like a film in her brain. 

[The more you hide, the more you lose the chance to claim your best friend back. If you don't get back with her, it only means you are still affected by Arthur.] Raudramuki said in her mind, appearing suddenly. 

Esther sighed… Indeed the gap between the both of them increased. If Michelle was angry, she would let her beat her, scold her. She shouldn't lose her friends because of that scum.

"I will go pick her up. Ask the guards to leave her alone," Esther said. 

"Yes," Nicholas said and passed the message to security through the phone. Esther went down and saw a woman with black hair, big breasts, and amazing curves was fighting fiercely with guards. Even when she was fighting she looked alluring, beautiful, and charming. She was like this from their school. Esther and Michelle both are friends from high school. Michelle was a transfer student in her high school. 

"Leave her!" Esther commanded the guards. The moment they heard Esther, they let Michelle go from their clutches. 

"Michelle, let's go to my office," Esther said. 

"Hmph!" Michelle humphed at her before following her. Esther smiled at her childish actions. 

After reaching the office, Esther asked Nicholas to get chocolate milk tea for her friend. 

"How long do you want to hide from me?" Michelle asked as she threw her purse on the couch before resting her hands on her hips while glaring at Esther. 

"I am scared of facing you," Esther said truthfully. 

"As far as I remember, I belong to the human species! What's there to be scared of?" Michelle said. 

"I know! But I am guilty more than being scared. If I have listened to you, I wouldn't have to face all this. I wouldn't have been raped by him. I wouldn't have been abused by him. Reggie, wouldn't have to fight with his life. He almost killed me and Reggie. But…. by the time I woke up, I wished you to side me. But when I realized how wishful to get you back after hurting you like that, I didn't dare to call you," Esther said as a tear rolled down from my eye. 

"What!? He raped you!? That damn BASTARD!!! If not for the people around you, I would have been with you in the hospital. But your damn brother! He didn't allow me!" Michelle said. Her heart softened at the sight of her crying, while her blood boiled when she heard, her best friend was raped by that bastard. 

"That Arthur! He even ran away from jail! If I find him, I will throw him in a gay club and get him raped for thousand times!" Michelle yelled. 

"Girlfriend, I did that thing," Esther said with a smile. 

"What?" Michelle asked. 

"Shh… keep it low. I got him raped for three days and three nights by three men," Esther said. 

"Hahahaha… That bastard deserved that!" Michelle laughed when she heard it. 

"Now, you are my real best friend!" Michelle said as she hugged her. 

"Calmed?" Esther asked. 

Michelle bobbed her head. 

"How are you?" Esther asked after a few seconds of silence. 

"You dare to ask that! You! Bad Girl! I am worried to my death about you! I used to stalk your house to see you! Even In the hospital, your damned brother didn't allow me to see you. I would come to your hospital in the hopes of seeing you at least once. But I never got the chance. I helped your family get the information about Garcia's history using my dad's identity from the Royal Archives. I laughed as the Garcia's started falling. But your health and the kid worried me. I waited for you to come to me and ask for a hug. But you never came. I celebrated my birthdays and New Year without you," Michelle said. Her voice went lower as she spoke. Her voice consists of hurt, disappointment, and sadness. 

Esther felt her chest was stuffy. If only she had listened to her, this would not have happened. 

"I am sorry," Esther mouthed. 

She knew her sorry wouldn't suffice her pain but Michelle deserved her apology. 

"There won't be a second time," Esther said. 

"I will kill you if there was a second time," Michelle said. 

Nicholas who was standing outside and listening to their conversation smiled. Reggie wanted to listen badly so he didn't forget how miserable he looked the day before yesterday. 

"Wait! Why is that man taking so long to come inside?" Esther grumbled. 

Nicholas knew that man was him. As if on cue he immediately went inside and set the milk tea on the table. 

"Sorry Princess, When I came back I heard you are talking intensely with this lady. So, I didn't dare to interrupt you," He said. 

"I am sorry," He mouthed to Michelle but he frowned when he saw her face. 

"You are her!" He yelled all of a sudden. 

"Yes! So what?" Michelle asked. 

"Princess, are you taking her as the new secretary?" Nicholas asked gulping his own saliva while staring at Esther with a gaze that said please-say-no!
