Ch-198

In a few seconds, she appeared in Benjamin's villa with Esther in her hands. "Her body held some dark energy. That is cleaned now. She will change from tomorrow," she said and disappeared. Charles Windsors sighed at this woman.

Shakti directly appeared in front of Cyrus. "Akka!" Cyrus said as he hugged her tightly.

"Hmm… What about Nicholas?" she asked as she asked him. Cyrus knew her sister knew almost everything that happened to them even if they were worlds apart.

"The woman whom he loved, he met her. In the past he lost her. Now, he doesn't want to. But he behaved like an animal which made Esther and his lover hate him. Maybe he will sort it out soon. He even asked my permission to marry her. As the acting queen, he needs your permission. Today he met her father. I wonder what happened," he said as he clicked his tongue.

"Sigh…" she commented.

She appeared in Nicholas's office in a snap. "So you messed up your own marriage?" she asked with a smile.

"Sis, don't laugh at me. Give me some ideas," he pleaded her.

"If it were me in her place, I would have chopped your balls. But since… you know your mistakes… do the things she likes and let her know she is precious to you," she said.

"Sis, Why do I need to let her know? I know I love her," he said to her.

"Think like a person with heart, idiot. No wonder she rejected you. You know the answer whether you should let her know your love or not," She replied.

"I am going to the little kid." she said and disappeared.

When Shakti reached the kid's room in a snap, she felt something was wrong with this room. She realized something was wrong with Reggie. She took him to the temple again in a snap.

"Master… I sensed the same energy as Esther before she was purified," She said.

"Sigh… How many troubles did that guy prepare for me?" he muttered and started doing the same thing as Esther. But he placed a white stone on his forehead. Esther's stone turned black, like her Reggie's stone also turned black. After the work was done, she laid Reggie in his bed and disappeared.

Shakti informed Cyrus about Esther and Reggie's condition. She visited her three brothers and left with few human delicacies in her hands.

Next-day….

Esther woke up feeling fresh and excited. She felt she heard some voices and felt something happened to her, but she brushed it off thinking that was a drama.

She saw the books on her bedside and fell into a deep thought. "I will marry him," she decided. But she needs to see Reggie and spend some time with him before revealing her thoughts to him.

She called Reggie. "Hello! Mom!" he said excitedly.

"Why didn't you come to the office?" she asked.

"Dad, didn't let me," he whined.

"Oh… Then… Ask your dad to come to my house to pick me up along with you," she said.

"Why?" he asked.

"Today is the weekend. Let's enjoy," she said as she squealed in joy.

"Okay mom! I will inform him!" with that the call was hung,

Esther went inside the bathroom and stared at her reflection, the eye color changed into red. [Am I a monster?] she asked herself but she got no reply.

She freshened up and put on a nice pretty dress. By the time she reached the dining room she heard the laughs of Cyrus and Reggie from the dining hall. She took her seat at the dining table. When the food was served, everyone started eating food. Soon they finished their food in the midst of laughter. After everyone finished the food, "Everyone, Sit. I need to say something," Esther said.

"Yes," they said.

"I decided to marry Cyrus Vritra," Esther said, dropping a bomb on everyone.

"But… I wanted to marry after my flagship. So… for now, I want to get engaged with him," she said, shocking them further.

Everyone fell into a daze at her words. Henry felt that Esther woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

"Are you sure?" her mother Lia asked.

"Why?" her father asked.

"Did you really take the decision?" Old man Benjamin asked.

"Did he threaten you?" Henry asked.

"Ayya… Everyone, could you give me a chance to explain," she said as she stood from her bike.

"I am sure about this. For the question why? He is rich, famous, handsome and can take care of him. And I can do whatever I want. And surely, he isn't another Arthur," she said.

"I didn't even tell him these things. I said these things to you and him now only for the first time. In fact, he was more shocked than you all." she said and went upstairs to get her purse.

Cyrus, sat there like a statue without moving at all. He felt like he was frozen, he could see nothing But Esther as she spoke with her parents as she stood.

"Since, she said… let's respect. This time her decision is not wrong." Charles Windsors said.

Seeing Old Man BEnjamin supporting Her, the rest of the family said nothing. They stared at the new Esther. They all felt like she was new from yesterday. She was back to her chirpy self. This is a good thing. Her cold attitude is making them feel suffocated. But this version is good too.

Reggie was too stunned by her mother's decision. He wondered if she had a screw loose or something like that. His mother would never accept even in his dreams. For a second he thought he was in a dream. He pinched his thigh with his skinny hand, and when he felt pain he realized it's true. Dammit!! His dad succeeded finally!

Reggie felt happy when he realized he can have his mother to himself completely. He could play with her and watch TV together and can help her. His little heart was swelled with happiness.
