BXBX NOVEL Chapter 250 - Deal With Esme!
RECOMMEND SONG: I Got You (Cover) By Sofia Karlberg ~?
Esme quivered lightly under his warm embrace. She could feel herself on the verge of melting. She stucked her tongue out and repeatedly reminded herself that he was the sole culprit who broke her heart mercilessly. He was the one who gave her false hopes in the name of love when everything was only his selfish desire of winning her heart so that he could recuperate himself. Esme stubbornly held back the last drop of tears in her eyes. She didn't want to become vulnerable in front of him in case he would sieze this opportunity to tie her down beside him.
Esme drew another deep breath and answered coldly,
" Whatever regarding their mommy, it has nothing to do,King Aaron. Please respect yourself."
Aaron trembled lightly after hearing the change of her tone. Though he was mentally prepared from the very beginning but the distant behind her tone made his heartbroken and he struggled to breath steadily. Aaron pursued his lips lightly and spoke brokenly,
" Esme..I ..I know that whatever I have done with you is absolutely wrong..But Please don't push me away like that. I can work hard to regain your trust again. Think about this babies. They need a complete familiy. Are you going to see them suffer just because you are mad at me? Think about Ayra. She would be very sad to see her mommy unhappy."
Esme lost her patience from her anger. She unclasped herself from his embrace and stepped further ahead. Maintaining a safe distance from him, she barked curling her lips up into a bitter smile,
" Why? Didn't you believe like others that I have secretly given birth to a baby and had an illegal affair ?"
Aaron was a little dissapointed after watching her distancing away from him. But he tolerated it silently. Since he had done wrong to her, he couldn't take everything fast. He smiled gleefully and replied with a smirk,
" Well, are you asking me to believe such absurb lie when I have actually broken your hymen?"
Esme was stunned then became utterly speechless. Only then she realized that she couldn't win against him by words. She muttured disbelievingly while casting him a cold glare,
" You.. you are unbelievable! My babies won't lack any love. Rest assured! Even if they badly need fatherly love, I will marry someone and tell them to call him father. Still they don't need a liar man as their father."
She spoke and looked at his expression closely. She expected that he would get furious and leave White Castle immediately. She feared that if he stayed longer, she would melt under his heated words and constant nagging. Furthermore her heart wasn't prepared to forgive him completely.
Aaron's face paled immediately. His fists were clenched aside secretly. He couldn't believe that she actually dared to spit out openly that she would marry someone else. Only if it wasn't in the fact that he was guilty this time, he would have perhaps pressed her down and made her understood in his own way that what was the consequences of infuriating a Vampire King. Unfortunately she was loved pretty badly by that Vampire King. Even Esme who blurted out those in rage started to get a little afraid. She knew that this man was obsessed with her.
After sobering up his temper hardly, Aaron prompted raising up his brows mysteriously,
" Then wouldn't you make a list of your persuers? How about I give my name on that?"
Esme gritted her teeth together and blurted out with a sneer,
" You are disqualified from the beginning. Now please get your ass out of my castle. I just can't tolerate your nerds anymore."
Though her expression was pretty cold, Aaron could read through the nervousness flooding across her eyes. He smiled contendedly and took a step forward saying,
" Is it because you can't tolerate me or you are afraid that your heart will end up forgiving me at the end if I stay in your sight?"
Esme was a little taken back after being seen through her mind. She pursued her lips together tightly and replied like a whisper,
" Whatever it is, I just don't want in my sight. I can't forgive you for what you have done to me. It's better that you understand this fact fast and leave for your own good."
Aaron was silent for a while. He inspected her eyes and knew that the pain of betrayer that he caused to her would never gone. Well, he didn't even expect that she would forgive him so easily. Aaron swallowed the pain in his heart. He looked up at her blankly and explained with sincerity,
" Esme, I know that you can't forgive me.Even I haven't come here to ask for your forgiveness nor do I think that you will forget everything someday. But I can definitely make you forget all those bad memories by loving you more."
He paused midway, closed the gap between them dangerously and whispered upon looking through her hazel eyes,
" All I need is a chance from you..and.."
His eyes dropped down on her stomach and resumed,
" Our babies."
Esme felt trapped under his hooded eyes. She whispered back slowly,
" What if you fail? Will you return to your world then?"
Aaron replied without hesitation,
" If I fail today, I will try to please you tomorrow again."
Esme narrowed her eyes and quired,
" What if you fail tomorrow too?"
Aaron "..."
He gulped and replied with a sigh,
" Then I will come back to please you the day after tomorrow."
Esme crossed her arms silently and again replied getting on his nerves,
" What if you fail again on that day?"
Aaron started to get nervous badly. She seemed like she wasn't ready to forgive him ever. He sawlloed hard and commented stubbornly,
" I will continue coming back to you until you are willing to give me a chance to mend for my wrongdoings."
Esme wanted to speak something more to drive him away but suddenly a maid brusted inside hurriedly. Startled, both of them looked back and saw the maid panting anxiously.
Without uttering anymore words, the maid informed while holding the doorknob anxiously,
" Princess...Young Princess is shouting desperately in her dreams. Please come and have a look. She seems to fall in pretty bad state."
Esme's face collapsed turning ashen. She turned around and ran outside quickly. Even Aaron followed her afterwards. No matter what, Ayra was his niece too and his woman's adopted daughter. He was far more willing to help her out.
Soon after, Esme and Aaron rushed inside Ayra's bedroom hastily. As everyone had went back to sleep in their respective rooms, the maids thought of informing Esme first. As expected, Esme saw Ayra rolling on the bed wailing lowly. Her eyes were squeezed shut and she seemed to have bad nightmare.
Esme climbed up on the bed and started to shake Ayra lightly. She patted and called out her name,
" Ayra..Ayra..Baby..wake up.. What happened? Mommy is here! Wake up! Baby..."
Ayra who was engrossed in her dreams finally woke up after hearing her mother's voice. She opened her eyes slowly and brusted into tears. Esme pulled her up to comfort in her hug and heard her baby voice sobbing weakly,
" Mommy.. it's scary.. Sob.. sob..I saw a pair of eyes in my dreams.. Those eyes were burning like fire..Ayra is scared..My hand hurt badly when I saw those eyes.."
Esme hussed her soothingly and patted on her back. Behind her, Aaron frowned hardly after hearing Ayra's explaination. He seemed to have bad feelings about this dream.
Esme sighed helplessly and realised that Aaron had also come with her. Pushing away their grudges for the time being, she asked glancing back at him helplessly,
" What is this all happening with her? Do you understand?"
Aaron shook his head lightly. Getting closer, he ran his fingers through Ayra's curls who seemed to fall asleep anytime soon and whispered cautiously,
" I have never encountered such situation like her. But I can get her to someone else who might help us explaining why was she having this troubles."
Esme agreed without hesitation. She knew that Aaron would never harm her after knowing the truth. She whispered back while putting Ayra back in her sleep,
" Then let's go. Why are we delaying?"
Aaron took a glimpse of outside which was dark completely. He suggested considerably,
" We can go for it tomorrow. It's pretty late already. But I have one condition."
Esme frowned hard at the mention of condition. She turned and shot him a suspicious look. Aaron coughed lightly and mumbled revealing his intentions,
" You..you have to let me stay in Dalastia as long as I want. I will stay in my castle during daytime but I will eventually come back at night. Say, do you agree?"
Esme badly wanted to smash his face this time. Again, he was plotting against her. After looking down at Ayra's pale face, she gave up and agreed between her gritted teeth,
" Deal! "
Aaron immediately broke into a beaming smile. Now he understood that God was on his side too. He slipped out from his shoes quickly and urged while heading for Ayra's large bed,
" Then let's sleep together with Ayra. She needs someone to watchover always. You both can sleep peacefully and I will look after you two."
Esme spatted blood out of shock. She looked up at Aaron blankly and blurted out,
" WHAT?? "
