บททั้งหมดของ FOREVER MINE: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

In this charade, where everyone sees Jina as a saint due to her presumed transformation, Esther will have to count the costs of Jina's disparaging character which she will have to disguise by crawling under the shell of innocence. Henceforth she must try to be wary and keep her game clean for her to be able to achieve the desired results.As she sat on the stool near the dishwasher, she conceitedly feels she had done a great deal of work so far which is purposed to Esther's detriment. She is anxious to call Tony, her goon whom she deems set fair to do a perfect job and whose collaboration is vital in this undertaking. Together they must eat from each other's hands to reap good results. I can't call. Someone might hear us. She mutters and instead sends him a text message and then places it again on the table. The expression on her face undoubtedly spelt every inch of d

Despite the burning desire and anxiety to witness the entailments of the anticipated day, Esther was cynical to the whole idea. She had accepted to attend the party because she was cracking under pressure and ended up creamed by everyone's persuasion. Her mind was now crammed with questions; "What will I put on? I have absolutely nothing. The guests will all crane their necks to glance at me because I will be looking odd and weird like a fish out of water. I won't stand their unforgiving eyes. I am up the creek. I shouldn't have accepted. Damn the humiliation." She thought and was agitated. Partially, she was right. She barely had any better outfit to put on, not to mention going to the party. The only attire she thought reasonable was her floral long faded dress with a ribbon around the waist which had started fraying. This, her mother had sewn with her hands. Considering the class of people that would attend the party, it was crap. She wouldn't dare

It was a blessed beautiful new dawn that slowly transformed into a bright morning. The long-anticipated day had finally presented itself with a clear blue sky. Nevertheless, it would be a fat lie if Esther claimed that she'd any interest in seeing it despite all its splendidness; the glimmer of the beaming rays of the sunrise that streamed through her window, the calm breeze that blew inside her room, the fragrant smell of roses which Jina had gathered outside the garden before the cock crow; these, she had deftly woven into garlands that she hung in the living room and they seemed to transmit their pleasant scent to the whole mansion. All these seemed to draw Esther into much distress. It's been hours since she woke up. To say the least, she hardly winked the whole night. As everyone was too expectant to embrace the pleasures of Britton's birthday, she spent the entire night trying on the awkward outfit that Jina had bought her.

Esther gave her body a nice scrub and got out of the shower. In a few minutes, but as soon as she entered her room, heat consumed her. It felt as if she was being steamed. Fear and anxiety gripped her and caused her a lot of discomforts. Suddenly, she heard Jina already screaming downstairs summoning everyone out."Please, hurry up everyone." She shouted climbing up and down the stairs as if she was crazy. She did it so repetitiously that Richard started to get irritated."Honey, take it easy. It's just an hour's drive." He said blow-drying his hair." You don't understand, dear." She said, advancing to where he sat. Pat will scold me if I delay for even a minute. He's always been impatient."Ok, I know, but whimpering won't help. Why don't you dress up first? Unless you

A set of white tents popped out in the middle distance. Jina and the kids had been so engaged in a chit chat and none of them realised that they had almost reached their destination until he notified them. "My dears, we are just a few metres off Patt's residence." "Yippee!" Mellisa screamed in excitement. "That was so swift, dad. This wasn't a ride but a flight." "Do you think so?" "She's right. You really stepped on it, honey. You have the experience and tact." Said Jina with a benign smile on her face.  "As always, I am  the best- in everything." He said proudly and snorted with laughter. Jina nodded agreeably with an alluring stare. "I do not doubt that, so I ca
