Chapter 260 - AFTER...

Ch-259 

"Promise me... You will share your life with me till I take my last breath…" Esther asked with her glistening and beady eyes as she looked into his golden orbs. Her red eyes glowed brightly under the dim light with hope, fear, and love. 

Esther could feel her heart thudding against her chest. For some reason, she was getting nightmares which said her departure and loss of near to home. This was really frustrating for her. People who are close to her were her family, Cyrus, and Reggie. How could she let someone touch her people? 

Maybe she was too paranoid that's why she was acting like this. But she has to do this as she doesn't want to miss him or any others. 

Cyrus was shocked. He never thought that she would ask him this. Esther wasn't the kind of a person who would ask these things. He felt like he was dreaming. Cyrus could sense her little body shaking in his arms. Her nerves were tensed. He wondered what made her act like this? 

"I promise," he said to her. Esther felt relieved when she heard his promise. She wanted to share everything with him. But these dreams were being too scary for her. Even Raudra Muki didn't speak with her after a long while. She was wondering what made Raudra Muki be away from her.

There were many questions in her head. And… Again… from Charles Windsors she got to know that she has real parents who were waiting for her return. Not only her but an entire kingdom was waiting for her, they why didn't they reveal the truth to her and let her know who she was? Why do these people look at her with pity when they came to know, she awakened her powers? She doesn't know the answers to those questions. Neither no one would give her information about her past. Nor she has away. She could only find the real things that happened in the past by remembering her memories. But she could only do that slowly when she awakened her powers. When her soul was merged completely with her, only then she will have a high chance of recovering her memories. 

Esther was growing restless as days passed because she was constantly dreaming about something dark. In her dreams, she could see dark clouds hovering over her to gobble her up along with someone. She wondered who was that man.

No matter how hard Esther tried to sleep those dreams were still haunting her. She couldn't pinpoint where the problem was… but she knew something big going to happen. That was not so far but it's so near. 

"What's wrong?" he asked caressing her back. 

Esther said nothing… she just stayed silent. The room went into the dead silence. The sounds of their breaths could only be heard. Apart from them, there was no sound. Cyrus ran his fingers in her hair making her feel relaxed. She could feel his fingers touching her scalp making her nerves calmed down. 

"I am scared…" she said after a long silence. 

"About?" he asked. 

"Us," she replied furrowing her brows. 

"What will happen to us?" he asked. 

"What if I leave you again? I want you to be with me till I die," she said making her angry. How could he not be angry? They only got married two days ago but here she was talking about their breakup. What the hell was she thinking? 

"I am dreaming about my death recently. Like… it's not even death but it showed as if I am gonna locked up somewhere so far and would not return. I don't want to lose you…." She said snuggling closer. 

"Those are just dreams. Don't worry too much. Where would I go leaving you? Even If I have to crawl to the depths of the hell, I will go," he said making her blush. 

"But… still I am scared," she mumbled in a low voice.

"I am beside you," he whispered. 

Cyrus felt restless when he heard her. She was turning sensitive as days passed. He wondered why this was happening?

Esther slept comfortably in his arms as she closed her eyes, while Cyrus snuggled closer to her. Closing his eyes, he tried to sleep.

But he could not fall asleep as he was listening to Esther's heartbeat. He is glad that he was by her side as he felt every single beat in the depth of his heart. Every single beat said that she loves him. He was happy.

But on the other side of his heart, he wanted to kill himself. 

Esther could feel his chest on her back. He was slowly breathing in her ear making her nerves calm down. He was very close to her. She felt his warmth on her face, his breath on her neck. She could feel every single trace of him. She loved him so much. She diydn't want to lose him again. She was scared to lose him. She opened her eyes at once suddenly turning towards him.

"Cyrus..." she whispered softly.

"Mmm," he mumbled still closing his eyes.

"I love you," Esther whispered, for the first time. Cyrus opened his eyes, slowly turning around so that he could look at her. She was staring at him as she said those words. She was looking at him as if to suck his soul with her eyes.

His heart thudded as he saw her. He could sense his heart beating so fast. He stared at her as if he was transfixed. She loves him. Every bit of her soul, heart, and feelings was conveying a message to say, 'I love you.' Cyrus felt as if he was getting burnt by the sun but he was not looking away from her. They stared at each other. 

"Esther? Why you have tears in your eyes?" he asked.

"These are not tears, these are happy tears," she replied to him.

"Happy tears… for me?"

"Yes," she replied looking at him. They could sense their breaths with the smell of their own. Esther could feel his hot breath on her face. 

Cyrus was stunned to see that. Her eyes were still wet. She was looking at him with those beautiful, beady, brown eyes. 

This time, he was sure. She loves him. She was telling him that she loved him. He bent his head and moved closer to her face. He was inches apart from her face.

Her eyes were mesmerized. She could feel his lips almost touching her face. Her lips throbbed with the flames of desire. She was looking at him in disbelief. They just had sex few minutes. Suddenly, he stopped half-inch before her lips and said looking into her eyes making his eyes reflected in hers. "I love you too, Wifey..." he said. He made his way to her forehead and kissed her there. He kept his lips on her forehead till for few seconds. 

Then slowly, he moved his lips to her eyes. He was so close to her. His lips were just on her eyelashes. He was having her eyes locked in his. He could feel her breathing. He was so close to her. He memorized every single trace of her face. She was looking at him with those beautiful eyes. She was looking at him as if he was a God to her. He smiled making her blush brightly. 

"Hmm... Could you give take me to the bathroom? I need to wash my body," she said hesitating for a while.

With her thoughts, Cyrus took her to the bedroom. He laid her on the bed, making the bed dipped. while... he went inside the bathroom. He filled the tub with hot water. He placed his hand in the tub and checked the temperature. When he felt they were at the right temperature, he went out of the bathroom and walked into the bedroom.

He saw her stirring in her sleep. When she woke up, he carried her inside the bathroom. Esther was shocked to see him so considerate of hers. He added lavender in her bath to make her relax.

After cleaning her body, he helped her wear clothes. After that... he dried her hair and braided it for her. She smiled looking at him as if he was trying to control her.

"I am so tired. I am so tired of being tired," she said looking at him.

Cyrus chuckled at her antics.

She was so cute.

"Sleep..." he said to her as he put her on the bed. After placing her on the bed, he pulled the duvet over her body. After tucking her properly in the bed, he went inside the bathroom to take a shower. He returned to the bedroom after he finished taking shower. He dried his hair, changed into loungewear. After that... he joined his wife in the bed. He hugged her from behind making her turn towards him and made her hug him even in her sleep. He smiled at her as she turned to hug him. This woman could behave like a kid without her knowledge. She was so cute and adorable. If she wasn't tired he would have gone for another round of lovemaking with her.
