The point is why didn’t he tell me earlier? Why wait until I finally fell for for him before speaking up? It felt like I betrayed you Gold.
Why would I fall in love with a rapist?” Esther said as she sobbed.
“Esther, it’s okay. You didn’t betray me and I have forgiven Caleb so you should too”
“I don’t get you Gold, he raped you then how on earth were you able to forgive him so easily?”
“I’ve got a big heart best. I admit Caleb hurt me pretty bad but the good times we had surpasses the bad.
Caleb is my big brother and I love him a lot. Why shouldn’t I forgive him? I know you care about me Esther but you can’t sacrifice your happiness for me. Go talk to Caleb and make things right”
“Love sucks and you know I’m not the love type of person”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“Don’t you think it’s time to get serious and stop flirting?” Gold adviced.
“You know I hate commitment and Sticking to one man is like a punishment”
“That’s because you see it as one, how about looking at it with a different mindset? Commitment is not a bad thing after all and I’m happy with Fredrick”
“We are different Gold”
“No best we are not. Actually we’ve got quite a lot in common, It’s your choice whether you want to change or not.
Love is a beautiful thing Esther when you are with the right person. And if you ask me, you and Caleb make a wonderful couple”
“You really think so” Esther asked Gold
“I know so Esther, You should go talk to him”
“Fine I’ll go to talk to him” Esther finally accepted
“You know where he is right?” Gold asked
“Yea at the Lake”
“Uhmm yeah. Caleb has taken you there already?”
“Yeah” Esther noded.
“You see Caleb and I used to always go there when either of us was sad. Now he has taken you there, it means he cares so much about you so don’t break his heart” Gold nudged her playfully and she smiled.
“I’ll try” She smiled and Gold hugged her.
“Thanks Gold” CALEB POV
He sighed throwing stones endlessly into the water.
“I know I made a terrible mistake which I would probably live with for the rest of my life. Look at Gold now, she’s happy while I’m not.
I’m the bad guy here and I guess I don’t deserve happiness. My life is a mess now, thanks to my stupidity but I really don’t blame Esther anyways, she’s right.
No one will want a rapist as a boyfriend so I guess it’s my penance” Caleb lamented painfully.
“Caleb” He turned to see Esther behind him so he stood up from the deck and proceed to leave when her voice stopped him.
“Caleb I’m sorry. I should never have said such a thing”
“But you did and you were right Esther, you deserve someone better than me” Caleb told her and walked away.
“Caleb I love you” Esther said and ran after him. but Caleb paused to hear correctly.
“Did she just say she loves me? My heart jumped happily as she said that but I decided not to show it.
Caleb walked to the parking lot and unlocked his door. He slide into the drivers seat and Esther got into the passenger seat then shut the door.
“You seriously want to follow me?” Caleb asked but Esther fastened her seatbelt.
“Yeah, If that will make you listen then I will”
“Your choice” Caleb smirked and turned on the engine and drove out of the lake into the main road.
“Where are we headed?” Esther asked.
“To hell” Caleb said and accelerated the car to go faster.
“Hell? Caleb you are going to get us killed with this speed”
“I wasn’t lying about going to hell anyways. I’m just glad that you are coming with me”
“Caleb I don’t want to die I want to get down” Esther looked at him as she held a frightened look on her face.
“Caleb watch out” Esther said as they were about to collide with a luxurious bus that was about to make a U turn.
“I got this” Caleb smirked and swayed expertly from the its front.
“What the hell, do you want to get us killed” the bus driver yelled.
“God, that was close. I have to call Gold and inform her that her brother has gone crazy” Esther said breathing heavily as she took out her phone. Caleb wanted to laugh but he restrained himself.
“Gold, Caleb wants to kill the both us of and he’s driving like a lunatic” Esther complained but Gold chuckled
“Relax best Caleb is just trying to mess with you” Gold said.
“Mess with me how? When i can see the gates of hell clearly from here” Esther said but she sighed happily when she saw a police car tailing them. Esther halted the car and the policeman soon walked to the the side of the car then Esther turned down the volume of the music.
“Mr.. do you realize you are driving way above the speed limit and you are also on the wrong lane” The officer said.
“Yeah, I’m kinda of in a hurry” Caleb said
“Who is the girl beside you?” The officer looked at Esther and she gave him a deadly glare.
“My girlfriend”
“Wow Mr you have a beautiful girlfriend”
“Thanks” Caleb appreciated
“Can you show me your drivers license?”
“Sure” Caleb brought out his driver’s license and gave it to the officer who checked his license and scribbled something on his notepad.
“Race car driver? Interesting but you must know that this road doesn’t look like a race track to you. Make sure you do not try this again. Get back on your lane” The officer said as he gave Caleb back his license .
“Sure thing officer” Caleb said and Esther sighed as she watched him walk back to his car.
“Are you okay?” Caleb asked her.
“No, I can’t believe I almost died” Esther chuckled silently.
“You asked for it anyways” Caleb said but Esther rebuked him
“You are so mean” Esther muttered.
“I know something that will make you feel better” Caleb said as he leaned closer to her and clasped his lips slowly on hers then she kissed him back slowly as he pulled out of the short kiss.
She blushed and looked away.
“Feel better now?” Caleb said as he bite her lips and stared at her then she nodded shyly. “Just drive”
“To hell?”
“No way, your place would be better”
“My place?” Caleb asked as he raised her brows at her.
“Yeah” Esther said and Caleb smiled. AERIEL POV
“Mom what do we do now? Gold just ruined my chances of getting close to Fredrick with her useless introduction” Queen said to her mum.
“I got a plan We’ll go to Fredrick’s house and ask Gold for forgiveness. Then we’ll plead with her to let you stay at their place for some days. That is when your dad and I will be out for a business conference”
“Gold is soft hearted, she will surely let you stay. All you need to do is find your way into Fredrick’s bed and then his heart.
When you finally gain control of his heart, Gold would be evicted” Aeriel smiled as she told Queen about her plans.
“Wow mum, you are a genius. But are you sure that this plan is going to work? Gold might spoil our plans this time again” Queen said to her mother.
“She can’t Gold is stupid and she won’t figure out a thing”
“That’s right she’s stupid. I would be serving it hot to Fredrick under her nose and she won’t smell a thing, until she’s back to the streets.
I can’t wait to see her suffer” Queen said and let out a hearty laughter
“Patience Queen, Fredrick will be yours soon” Aerial assured her daughter. GOLD POV
Gold chuckled softly as she dropped the phone.
“Esther right?” Frederick asked as he pulled her to himself on the bed.
“Yeah. It was Caleb, he scared shit out of her by driving recklessly”
“That brother of yours sure is crazy” Fredrick said to Gold.
“Yeah he is”
“Gold I’ll have to go to the office tomorrow” Fredrick said to Gold who seemed Surprised.
“Which office? are you going to fly back to Lagos” Gold mumbled.
“No” Fredrick replied and rolled his eyes.
“We have a branch office here” Fredrick responded
“But I thought this was supposed to be like a vacation?”
“I’m just going to check on it. Besides we’ve got an important board meeting tomorrow” Fredrick said
“Fine but you are definitely going sight seeing with me next tomorrow”
“Sure thing ma’am” Fredrick said and she chuckled.
“I can’t believe you’re making fun of me” Gold said climbing on top of him and pinned both his hands to the bed.
“I’m not”
“Yes, you are” Gold said as she lowered her body to his and their eyes maintained an intense eye contact. The tension between them was electrifying as their hot breath and body heat further intoxicated the moment.
As if compelled by an invisible force, Gold clasped her lips against his softly, loving the feel of his lips against mine.
He kissed her back and deepened the kiss as their tongues glided together in a perfect rhythm then he groaned softly when she grinded her crotch against his.
“I want you Freddie” Gold whispered against his ears as she trailed her fingers slowly on his abs. She felt his breath shorten as she continued trailing her fingers down to his pelvis. She took hold of his dick through his trousers and he groaned.
“Geez baby, you’ve grown to be a bad girl” Fredrick said biting his lips then unzipped his zipper.
“Your bad girl” Gold whispered stroking his dick with her hands then he moaned and pulled her into a passionate kiss.
The next morning when Esther came back from Caleb’s apartment, she told Ella and Gold about what transpired between them.
“Did he really do that?” Gold and Ella chuckled as Esther told her what Caleb did as they were in the large swimming pool. Frederick already left for work and they were all bored so they decided to swim.
“Yeah and after that, we had sex” Esther giggled.
“Woah so you guys are officially together?”
“Yeah”
“I can’t seriously remember the last time, I had a good screw it’s about three months ago” Ella said.
“Three months? Don’t tell me you?…” Gold said as she trailed off raising her brows at Ella
“Of course, I had it with one of the male servants” Ella rolled her eyes.
“Holly molly. You need to get laid sis so how about we hit the club tonight?” Esther giggled.
“Hell no” Gold said as her eyes widened.
“Gold don’t be a kill joy” Esther pouted.
“Fine we are going to hit the club but first we need to go see your mom” Gold said but Ella refused
“I don’t want to see her. She abandoned me remember?” Ella said.
“Gold is right Ella mum misses you a lot and not a day goes by that she doesn’t think about you” Esther said.
“I don’t care and I don’t want to talk about her”
“Well you’ve got no choice here so you are coming with me to see your mom”
“Gold”
“I’m serious”
“What the hell, you are acting so much like your boyfriend now”
“What do you expect? she is his girlfriend so of course she has to act like him. I think I like the new Gold” Esther said.
“Thanks best but Ella the main reason I allowed you come with us was because I wanted you to reunite with your family and that includes your mom.
I know she was wrong but we are humans and we make mistakes. You should hear her out”
“I already said fine” Ella screamed.
“Then come on, let’s go get dressed and meet your mum” Gold said to them.
“You can do this Ella” Gold encouraged her as they stood in front of her mom’s house.
“We will both go in first” Ella whispered holding Gold’s hands then she pressed the door bell and her mom soon opened the door.
“Wow Gold” she called smiling at her.
“Good day ma’am” Gold greeeted
“Hey mom” Esther hugged her mother.
“Come on, come in” she beamed a bright smile but her smile faded away when she saw Ella.
“Emmanuella?” she asked surprised as tears welled up in her eyes.
“Hey mom don’t give me that look, I know you wish me dead” Ella said but her mum pulled her into a hug.
“How would I wish you dead? I’m sorry Ella, I’m so sorry. I should never had done that to you” She cried still hugging tight to Daniela.
“Too late for that because you already did” Ella said as she forced herself out of the hug.
“Do you know what I fucking went through in the hands of my so called foster parents? Did you care how I felt when you abandoned me? Did you bother to check up on me? Instead, you lied to Esther that I was dead!” Ella yelled angrily in tears.
“I’m sorry Ella, I did check up on you but I was told they already moved out. I searched for you, not a day went by that I didn’t think about you. Do you think it was easy raising you both?
Your father abandoned us and ran away with my life savings. Do you think it was easy letting you go? I did it for all of us” Their mum replied crying as well
“No you did it for yourself.
You did it because you loved Esther more than me and you did it for your own selfish reasons. You sold me like a common commodity” Ella said getting more angry.
“All I did, I did for you and your sister. It was hard for us to feed at that time, I didnt want you to suffer but I never sold you, I only gave you up for adoption and I love both of you equally For God’s sake, you are both my daughters”
“Daniela please forgive your mother already. All she did, was because of you and your sister. You should be lucky to have a mother who cares about you” Gold told her in a soft tone.
“Ella please forgive mother already. She loves you and all that she said is true. Dad ran away with the money she gave to him to start up a business leaving her penniless.
Mom never forget about you, I was there with her and I saw the pains she felt of losing you” Esther said in a bid to convince Ella
“Fine, I forgive you mom because Gold asked me to” Ella said but Esther hit her playfully and she laughed.
