REBIRTH OF ESMERALDA .Chapter 30: scent don’t lie .It was time to go home. For someone who didn’t have a home, those words were dreadful.Axel and Maribel bid the children goodbye at the door with hugs and high fives, not taking their eyes off of them even as they crossed the little garden, chirping loudly with their parents, until finally, they drove off, leaving the two with impending silence, one that wasn’t as peaceful as Axel would hope. Oh, well, it wouldn’t last too long anyway.“Cue waterworks in 3, 2—”This time Maribel didn’t get to finish his countdown when Ari’s wails filled the entranceway. Usually, they made it back to the room before the pink-haired omega’s baby girl would start screaming and crying to bring back the children she had grown so attached to over the months. “There, there, my baby, my love, it’s okay, they’ll be back tomorrow,” Maribel tried to soothe her, nuzzling and scenting the baby. It worked. For a second. “You go ahead, she’s not gonna stop
REBIRTH OF ESMERALDA .Chapter 31: my love mix up .When Axel stayed over at Maribel’s home last night, after having finished all the paperwork for the morning and tidying the daycare to perfection, he saw something he hadn't seen in quite a while— the lights of the room apartment facing the guest room he was in were on. When he usually stayed by the balcony whenever he was here or while he waddled to the Maribel’s partaking, loud and chirpy noises were flowing around him, seeping within the alpha and bringing along with them a muffled, stifling ache of sorts. So it’s a happy family, huh, Maribel and Knox’s neighbors. He wondered who lived there.Axel had let out a deep sigh, hands shaking as he unlocked the guest door and let his dark and silent home consume his soul. Having finished his nightly routine, taking a long, refreshing shower, and having a simple meal for one, he had trudged to the balcony, a chilled beer can snug in his hands. It was the only companion he had to re
REBIRTH OF ESMERALDA .Chapter 1: Sister, why? . Esmeralda tests the strength of the rope by flexing her wrists. The skin is rubbed raw – but she’s had worse. She spits blood on the floor, right between her feet, and gets a magazine to the head when she doesn’t answer the head honcho immediately.He’s a real looker. Blonde hair, straight teeth, disgusting personality. He looks like he’s seen some shit. Haven’t they all.Esmeralda lolls her head back in the chair, and looks down through hooded eyes.“Hit me all you want. I’m not giving you what you want .”The bald chick with an AK whacks her again with the butt of the gun, and Esmeralda jolts in the chair. She runs her tongue over her teeth – fucker, she might’ve loosened one.“Hey,” the head guy points. “Don’t kill her, we still need for something important, get that in your head.”She huffs, “She asked for it.”The leader snaps, and she straightens up again, hands readjusting on the gun. She isn’t even holding it right. That’s mo
REBIRTH OF ESMERALDA .Chapter 2: treachery and sorcery .Esmeralda gasps staring at her sister, the tears finally falling down. “You planned all of this?.” “I know, I should be congratulated for this.” Mercedes grinned with a hint of self satisfaction in her tone.“Why will you ... I’m your sister, what the fuck are you thinking? Were you not thinking?.” Esmeralda breathed out. “What did I ever do to you?.” She yelled at her sister. Mercedes frowned. “The question is what didn’t you do to me. Because of you, I didn’t get anything from our father! You bastard of a child! How can you get half and his biological children get only a little percent!!.” Her sister shouted at her with so much anger that Esmeralda wondered if the hatred had always been there and she only missed it because of her negligence to pay attention to details. “It’s not my fault, I was just as surprised as you are, I didn’t know anything about this.” She replied while trying to wring her hands free from the rop
REBIRTH OF ESMERALDA .Chapter 3: ache of betrayal .*Esme’s POV* “Okay. How do I do this?.” I muttered to myself as I pushed my two hands behind the chair I was tied on closer to each other so I can be able to untie the rope. I hastily spared a glance at my sister who was busy speaking with the hunk who had kidnapped me in the first place. The rage in me was already overcoming the love that I had for my sister. My heart was burning in the ache of being betrayed by someone who I thought was dear to me. I strained hands a little closer to each other but it wasn’t helping which made me sigh out in defeat. Mercedes turned to me on hearing that noise as she pointed the gun she was holding at me as if to say ‘no funny business’ before turning back to her crime partner.I rolled my eyes looking away as I sigh again but this time out of sadness. I look up trying to blink the incoming tears away while thinking of every possible way to escape the dirty warehouse I was placed in and my
REBIRTH OF ESMERALDA .Chapter 4: betrayal and love go side by side . *Esmeralda*I plop down on the deserted ground already tired of running.Glancing back, i heaved out a sigh of relief seeing as Mercedes hasn’t caught up to me yet. What if she wants to release me? My hope gets raised up thinking that but I quickly weltered it away not wanting to give myself any aspirations.I used to hold Mercedes in high expectations as she was the only sister I had. She had always protected me from harm ever since we were little. And now ... everything just seems so unbelievable.The fact that Mercedes would actually try to have me killed makes my heart ache. Heaving out a huge sigh, I decide to try running again. I drag myself along the way as I stood up sluggishly looking around for any signs of humane presence. But none.Shaking away dreadful thoughts, my legs continue moving forward on its own not giving my brain any chance to process my awaiting death. No way Mercedes would allow me
REBIRTH OF ESMERALDA .Chapter 5: betrayal and the un-loyal . As the first rays of dawn painted the sky in hues of orange and pink, Esmeralda began to stir from her induced slumber. Slowly, she became aware of her surroundings—the cool breeze against her skin, the rustling leaves overhead, and the unmistakable sensation of restraints digging into her wrists.Her eyes snapped open, and panic washed over her like a tidal wave as she realized the grim reality of her situation. She was no longer in the confines of a dark and dingy warehouse. Instead, she found herself in the heart of the wilderness, chained to a gnarled oak tree. The rough bark pressed uncomfortably against her back, and the chain that bound her felt like a cold, unyielding shackle.Fear coursed through her veins as she attempted to move, but her struggles were met with futility. She was trapped, vulnerable, and at the mercy of the very people who had betrayed her—the sister she once trusted, Mercedes, and the man
REBIRTH OF ESMERALDA .Chapter 6: the vow of revenge . The minutes stretched into an uneasy silence, with Esmeralda left alone in the dimly lit campsite, her wrists still bound by unforgiving chains. Her gaze remained fixed on the spot where Mercedes had vanished into the shadows of the forest.The crackling of the campfire provided a dissonant soundtrack to her thoughts, each pop and hiss echoing the tumultuous emotions swirling within her. The night air, once cool and refreshing, now seemed to carry an oppressive weight, suffocating her as she waited.And then, like a harbinger of foreboding, Mercedes emerged from the darkness, carrying two shovels slung over her shoulder. The moonlight painted her features with an eerie, ghostly pallor, emphasizing the stark determination etched into her face.Esmeralda's confusion was palpable as she watched her sister return with the tools of her own demise. The question that weighed on her heart formed in her mind, but she couldn't bring her
