Chapter 143 - Scary Esther Was Back!

Ch-142

"Mom, if uncle Nicholas goes with Aunt Michelle, then they would be called a couple. Are you matchmaking them?" Reggie asked her as he thought seriously. 

"Trueeee….." Esther thought loudly as she pondered over Reggie's words. 

"But…. Mom, It's okay if they become a couple. They will stop quarreling and will reduce headache for you," Reggie said thoughtfully like a genius kid. 

"Well.. that's right too. Let's leave them to fate," Esther said as she hugged the little one closer to her. 

The two big and small ones played and chatted till they reached their destination. 

"We are here," Cyrus announced as he stopped the car in front of their destination. 

"Yay!!!" Reggie squealed in joy as he jumped out of the car. 

Cyrus and his family went inside. Instead of buying tickets, he started making a call. 

"Why don't you buy tickets?" Esther asked with her furrowed brows. 

"I am calling the manager," he said. 

"For what?" she asked as she gave a weird look to him. 

"To guide us," he said as if it's a normal thing. 

"Can't you be lowkey?" Esther asked in disbelief. 

Cyrus just blinked at her when he heard her words. 

"Cut the call. And get the tickets standing in the line," Esther said. 

"What the fudge!" he cursed. 

"Daddy, you shouldn't use bad words. Listen to mom and go get tickets. We will be late if not and the tickets will run out!" Reggie said to his dad as he tried to educate. 

Cyrus stood rooted in his spot. 

What does she mean? He! Cyrus Vritra! In the line with common people! No way! 

"Even if you are a royal and a great CEO. You have to do it. If you can't, then stay here and I will get them by myself. But here men will get it. Nevertheless, it's not a problem," Esther said as she poked his ego. 

Cyrus gritted his teeth in annoyance but did as he said. Well, he remembered that he has to do whatever she asks him to do. With that, he went away and stood in line to get tickets. 

Cyrus stood for twenty minutes before getting the tickets into his hands. 

"Let's go," he said as he lifted Reggie in his arms, making him surprised. 

He hugged Esther with his other hand. The aquarium was quite packed with visitors. Since Esther asked him to be like a common one he picked a general ticket for the three of them. He was worried someone would stumble against them and knock them down. The family of three entered the lift which took them down completely. They were guided by the staff to enter inside. The main hall of the aquarium was wide and spacious. It could accommodate a thousand people at once. Esther was surprised to see that. She never visited an aquarium. She liked the environment. Everything was blue. She could see fish swimming above her head and at the side. An unknown feeling started erupting in her insides. She was happy. For real, she was happy. 

"Mom, A selfie with Reggie!" Reggie asked. 

"Let's take three," Cyrus added. 

He asked a passerby to take a picture of the three while standing in front of the glass wall from which they can see. 

The passerby felt that the family of three was looking good while taking a photo. After taking a photo he handed them his phone and said, "Sir, you have a beautiful family," 

Cyrus felt happy hearing praise from the passerby and his chest was filled with unknown happiness. "Thank you," he said. The passerby didn't think he would get a response from this man because he looked like an almighty person and he looked like a mere peasant. He smiled and left before waving at cute Reggie. 

They went deeper inside and reached the places where sharks were kept. "Daddy, Put Reggie down. I want to touch them!" the little guy excitedly the moment he saw the sharks. 

He went near the glass wall and knocked on the glass as if he was calling the sharks. The shark which saw Reggie knocking on the glass wall suddenly went mad and started banging it hard. Seeing a shark banging on the glass wall two other sharks joined. If it goes on like this the wall will break. Esther was worried about Reggie and at the same time, she was angry at those fishes. 

Her brown irises turned into gold as she looked at them angrily. The dark aura which was suppressed inside her all this while started oozing out. The sharks which were banging the glass wall stopped their actions and looked at her. Sensing her anger they backed away but the first shark which started banging the wall first didn't back away. Esther gritted her teeth as she walked behind Reggie and scooped him into her arms. The dark aura around her intensified as seconds passed. Her golden eyes turned red in color showing she was super angry. She placed her hand on the spot where the shark was trying to bang. The shark suddenly felt something was surrounding it. The shark felt like something entered its body while destroying its inner body architecture. It howled in pain as it struggled to breathe. It flapped its fins. The other sharks which saw the shark in pain wanted to go near it but a certain force made them scared to even move an inch. It's as if something dark surrounded them, if they move they will also have to face the same situation as the shark. 

Esther looked at the shark coldly as it suffered in pain. The staff of the aquarium came running to the spot, but by the time they arrived, it's already too late. The shark was dying. It died in front of their eyes. They couldn't help but feel confused at how things took place. 

While…. 

Cyrus felt angry when he saw the shark attacking his kid. Even before he could take a step forward, he sensed Esther's dark energy oozing from her body, and as seconds passed it intensified, but not reduced. 

He looked at the three fishes which were banging the wall. Two of the fishes were scared away by Esther. But the first shark didn't care. He looked coldly at it as his golden eyes flickered in its direction. He sensed a kind of untraceable energy inside it which was forcing the fish to attack Reggie. When he heard the thoughts of Fish, he clenched his jaw as he gritted his teeth. Cyrus was doubting whether that man came here or not all this while, but this situation and the unknown energy inside the shark confirmed his doubts. 'He' was here. And the worst thing was 'that man' was watching them from far afar. He sent some of his energy inside the shark body which can destroy its parts one by one till it died. In the next ten minutes, the shark died in the aquarium as it laid still on the ground, shocking the onlookers. 

Even after the shark was dead, Esther didn't calm down. 

[That lowly shark dared to touch my son! I want to kill it personally! But it died on its own! But still, I want to take it home and cook it! How I wish to jump inside it and strangle it to death. This lowly being dared to threaten my son in front of me. I need to kill it. The other two sharks. I will kill them too!] Esther's thoughts were endless. 

The dark energy around her intensifying. Her red eyes were turning into the blood-red color scaring the onlookers. The onlookers felt something was wrong with the spot Esther and her family stood. They couldn't help but think the wrong spot may trigger the shark. They didn't even dare to step into their vicinity. 

Alarm bells started ringing in Cyrus's brain. He couldn't help but think [Will she be this angry if someone tried to kill me?] But before he could think more, his concentration was diverted. 

[Sigh… this woman doesn't even know how to control her dark energy.] he thought as he released his energy to balance the dark energy. Now, the onlookers could take a step towards them and look at the situation closely. 

"It's just a mad fish which was out of control. Maybe it got irritated due to being locked up here and miss the ocean. Don't think too much. Let's move forward and look at the other kinds." Cyrus said. 

The onlookers who heard his words felt reasonable and didn't think much about it. Cyrus wanted to get his hands on that dead fish and cook it for Esther. But at the thought of the dark, unknown energy he changed his thoughts. He felt like there was more to it than the thing seen to the eye. He needed to look into things deeply. 

"Mom, Let's go," Reggie said as he pulled Esther's hand. Esther realized she was too angry and was scaring the child. So, she tried to calm herself. In a couple of minutes, she calmed down, her red bloodshot eyes turned back into brown eyes showing that she was normal now. 

"Yes," she said and walked forward. 

"Reggie, stay closer to mom and dad from now," Esther said as she pulled Reggie closer to her but Cyrus scooped Reggie into his arms and held him tightly. 

"I will carry him," he said to her as he pulled her closer to him with his left arm while he carried in his right arm.
