Ch-335

Esther informed Thomas about her absence for a week. She and her family went to her grandfather's place.

The palace was neat and clean. All of Benjamin's money was reinvested, reorganized by Ben. She doesn't know what to say but she has to say that Ben was doing a great job in handling the company. All the money they were earning has increased by twenty percent.

Ben asked if she wanted to do anything, she said nothing and kept everything aside. How badly she wants her brother to return here to handle everything. That annoying Ben asks her everything for every small thing. Even though she was from a business family, she still doesn't know many things. Even though she was weak. Unlike many women who were multi talented she was not. She only knew the only thing, that is designing and dealing with the company with the way she thinks was good.

If not for Thomas's guidance, she would have walked the company to the road of destruction.

And Nicholas and Michelle helped her a lot with the company. She was grateful for them. Like in many novels… she wasn't sassy, Miss. supercool and Miss. Knowall. She was a human made of flesh and blood. She has to do many things on her own.

A person will not stay with you forever, unless it's your soulmate.

But was finding a soulmate easy? No… Some spend their life without their soulmate. While some spend their life by getting adjusted with the persons or people with them.

And Esther found her soulmate to enjoy the bliss of life. She has to agree she was unreasonable. But the fact was… not all women were the same. But the criteria of most of the women or the most likely woman was higher. It's just that… the men should understand their woman on their own, not with the help of someone third party or so.

She hated the fact that she was the kind of person that he thought would fall for the food, neglecting her emotions. If she was the kind of person who has weaknesses how could she become a queen? This was not expected from Cyrus. Esther felt sad about his behaviour.

She thought ignoring him would make him realize his mistake but never thought it would bring out the devil. Since she was the cause of the devil's empire, she needs to take care of the devil she brought in.

Reggie was fast asleep, despite his powers and everything, Reggie was deeply attached with the human world and everything he does and acts looks like he was king. She wanted him to feel safe and good about this place. She knew… they would have to move away from this place today or tomorrow. How can she bear to hurt him early on?

She wondered what made Cyrus act so frustrated. With his temperament this wasn't his attitude. There must be something else.

----

Walking ahead she started walking towards the bedroom. She saw Cyrus wasn't in the room. She decided to head in first to take a shower.

They arrived here this morning, they decided to go out tomorrow as Esther knew… she needs to have a much needed talk with Cyrus. For that she needs to look fresh and bathing would help her with relieving stress.

Taking a hot shower, she tied a bathrobe around her body in a way that it wouldn't slip away. When she came out she didn't see Cyrus. She frowned. These days he was staying in the study more than needed. Maybe… something must have happened.

She walked into the study but still she didn't find him. Again she walked back to the bedroom to find her phone to call him. When she was about to call him, she saw him talking on the phone frustratedly.

"What do you mean you can't do it!? HUH!?!"

"I NEED EVERY LITTLE THING YOU FOUND TO BE REPORTED ME VERY NEXT SECOND!!! ARE YOU GETTING THAT!?!" Cyrus yelled.

When he got the satisfied answer, he hung the phone and ran his long fingers through his thick locks of hair frustratedly.

Esther went and hugged him from the back. With his words she was sure that he was frustrated and bothered by something.

Cyrus felt something soft was hugging him from the behind but he knew what the softness was.

"Hubby...What happened? Why do you look so flustered?" she asked.

"Nothing," he brushed.

"Hmm…" she said.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"I just took a bath and didn't find you. So I went to study to see you but couldn't find you. When I returned to the bedroom to call you, I saw you on a call yelling on someone. So… thought you would need my hug," she said cheekily.

Cyrus was really frustrated when he felt Esther's softness. He was relieved a bit. And after hearing her words, he was relieved even more.

"Someone is after you," he said.

"why?" she asked.

"Do you talk with another piece of your soul?" he asked.

"yeah…" she nodded.

"Did you summon it anytime in the past few days?" he asked.

"Few days ago…" she replied.

"Hmm… don't do that again. It can cost your life," he warned.

"Okay," she nodded her head.

"How do you know?" she asked again.

"There is another piece of your soul in Atlantis, when you summoned your soul… your soul in Atlantis which was sealed in a Reliquary. Shook and moved from a feet distance from it's original place. That caused quite a commotion in Atlantis and attracted evil powers. Now… they are in the human world. We have to be careful," he said.

"I found my second trustee," she said suddenly.

"Who is that person?" Cyrus asked.

"She is Julie Kata, she is Shikara, my assistant when I was the general," she said.

"I remember I ordered my people to clean and swipe their family," he said with a frown.

"She slipped somehow," she said.

"You trust her?" he asked.

"I don't know. In her past life… I trusted her. It doesn't mean I will trust her in this life too," she replied.

"it's better to be cautious," he said.

"Hmm…" she replied.

"You didn't have dinner with us," she said.

"I had to study," he replied.

"turn around," she said. Cyrus turned around and hugged her tight as he wrapped his arms around her body making her feel warm.

"It's cold outside," she said.

"And… you are warm," she added.

Esther forgot the way she dressed and what she did to him for the past two days. She let the demon stay hungry all these days. And wearing a bathrobe… she came to him to hug. Wasn't she pitting herself?

Cyrus could feel the heat passing through his body. He wanted to rip the damn bathrobe and have his way with her. He didn't have her for the past few days. Now she was playing with fire. How could he bear it?

"I can make you warmer," he said.

Esther looked at him with her innocent eyes and confused look as If asking how.

Was she seducing him!?

What the hell!?

Cyrus gulped softly as he looked at her.

"You want me to show you?" he said as he travelled his hands to her bathrobe tie. Esther realized what he meant.

Blushing hard, she removed his hands from her body. "Perverted thug," she cussed him. She immediately put on some distance between them.

"Only for you," he said.

"I am going to sleep," she said as she tried to fix her loosened robe. But to her horror the moment she touched the robe, it completely came off making her flustered. She could sense the deep gaze of Cyrus on her body.

God! If this goes on she would become a meat piece in his platter! And the worst thing was that she offered herself to him!

Instead of tying she hugged the rub and was about to run away. After all, with her husband, she couldn't do a single thing in his presence.

Cyrus lifted her in the air and carried her to the bed in a bridal style. "Where are you going? Let me teach you how to warm yourself," he said huskily in her ears.

"I am warm now!" her immediate answer came.

"But I am cold!" he said.

"How can that happen?" she asked.

"Because of you I took many cold showers and stayed in the cold night to calm myself. I am cold now," he said with puppy eyes.

But Esther knew him better than anyone. He wasn't someone who felt cold.

"Cyrus! How could you act like a pervert!? Huh!? Are you done with your act!? You are so br…."

"Ahhh…." She moaned suddenly.

When she was about to yell more on Cyrus, he pulled the bathrobe and bit on her breast harshly making her moan louder.

"Cyrus…" she moaned as she felt tingle making their way through every corner of her body.

"Yes, wifey," he said, fanning his breath on her.

"Ahhhh… please…." She moaned harder.

"What, please?" he asked, teasing her nipple as he twirled his tongue around it.

"Not… no-not now…" she barely managed to say.

"Why?" he asked feeling disappointed.

"Reggie is awake," she said.

"He is fast asleep. I will be gentle." He said.

"Only once," she said. He nodded his head with a smirk.

That night the cool breeze felt shy to even hit the naked entangled bodies, it didn't even let the breeze enter the room, not to stop Cyrus's warming process. He kept warming her till it's 2 a.m.
