***ESTHER***It is hard to break this kiss but we have to do it if we don’t want to die being out of breath right?I keep on looking on the floor after that kiss. The thing that we did right now is already done and honestly I don’t have any regrets regarding it. I feel his hands on my cheeks and his thumbs gently caressing on my cheekbones.I feel secure, I feel like I am being protected and maybe he would understand me at any cost. He pulls my face closer to him and place a subtle kiss on my forehead.It’s not like I haven’t kiss him before. I had kissed him that night too but right now, is the actual kiss that I have with him. It’s beautiful with the description more than just words.He pulls me in for hug and keep on caressing the back of my hair. I love the smell of his deoderant from his body. It smells extremely good and the emotion that I am feeling when I am on his arms is soothing and peaceful.Maybe, this is the second chance god is giving to me. Maybe, Caden is the one sent

***CADEN***“What is it?” she stare sat my face for a while.“You have to be my partner for that. The lodge is already yours. So, help me with it,” I say.“I would happily do that. Who said I am going to give you my dad’s memoir alone? I am not giving it to the amateur businessman. You should first be trained well and also you need to study really hard for that. I can’t trust most valuable thing of my life in those untrained hands,” she says as she holds my hands.She is indeed right. I need to be trained for that. I need to learn and get few experience before I jump into the fire of business.“I got it mam,” I smile as I look at her swollen face with swollen eyes.“It’s chilly here. Don’t you feel cold?” I ask.“No! It’s fun to be here,” she says.“How do you actually feel?” I ask her one more time.“About what?” she questions me back.“About getting pregnant. You see it’s not even your child. How do you feel?” I ask.“Oh! I am restricted to feel anything,” she says. I don’t get her.

***CADEN***I take the box from her hands and open it. Inside it is a white paper folded in a perfect square. Even with the shape it is folded in I can easily guess it is from Caisey. She always does that you know.Truthfully speaking, I am so much curious to know what is inside it. But I’m sure there is something important inside it. Did she write some secrets of her life inside it? Is she uncomfortable telling me so, she is trying to convey her message through the letter.My fingers rush to open that letter as soon as possible but when I read that letter. But when I open that letter, I cannot help myself but smile a lot.I want to laugh out loudly but I don’t want to show her that it’s something not so serious in there.“So, miss Esther! You’re in trap now,” I say as I read the text in that letter.‘I have sent Esther to your room. Today! Dare to tell her what’s in your heart or else someone like Caden is going to take her away from you. Did you get that?’ -CaiseyFrom her handwrit

***ESTHER*** “Caden! This is your seventh coffee in these last four hours. Will you please stop drinking coffee?” I suggest. His finger curls around the handle of the cup as he keeps on looking on it. “Do you really think my brother doesn’t want to see me?” he asks. “We cannot jump into conclusions unless we meet him in person. We can’t trust middle-man and leave our mission in the middle,” I place my hand over his. He smiles as he feels my support and puts his hand over mine. “You’re right but I don’t know what should I do? Until when should I wait for him?” He is still playing with the same cup. “You have waited all these years. Just few more hours. He is your brother. I hope it’s nothing serious like we have imagined,” I say and he smiles. “Should I order another cup of coffee?” he asks. “No! Not! Absolutely not,” I restrict him from doing that. I pull away the cup from his hands and order something healthy and which would satisfy our stomach. I watch him while he is hav

*** ESTHER***“It all happened because of me. Caden, you might have been able to meet your brother if it wasn’t for me,” I grumble in a low voice.“Esther! Look at me! See here,” he palms my face and makes me turn to his side.“Nothing! Nothing that happened today happened because of you. Do you get that? Nothing means nothing. So, stop blaming to yourself. Trust me, am going to feel really sad if you keep on doing that, alright?” he says.I think for a while. I know he doesn’t want to hurt me. So, he telling all of those things just to make me feel good but deep within I know that it all happened because of me.But, since he is trying so much not to hurt me, I think it’s better for me to pretend like nothing has happened. So, I nod my head and smile at him.“Alright,” I say. He gives me such an innocent and loyal smile.“We need to get inside now. Caisey is going to have lots of questions for us. Can you please handle her?” he asks me. I nod my head telling okay.We both get out of t
