Semua Bab Chained To My Bad Boy's Wild Love: Bab 91 - Bab 100

“Father, are u called for me?” Esther peeked through the half open door. Inside, the man was in the middle of a conversation with Elson. The moment he noticed his daughter had arrived, Zeref immediately put an end to the discussion between himself and his nephew.“Yes. Come in.” He walked toward the armchair sofa at the side of the room, then signaled for Elson to leave.Esther stepped into her father’s study with a heart tangled in mixed emotions. Even so, she managed a small smile when she passed Elson on his way out.Because Elson had stayed over at her apartment the night before, Esther had been forced to abandon her plan to lock herself away. Elson had received a call from her father, instructing him to bring Esther along to the main residence. With that absolute order, Esther had no choice but to comply. She even let Elson prepare breakfast for her before they came to see her father.Zeref patted the empty space beside him, inviting her to sit there. Esther obeyed, though she fe

“What?!” Esther was not the kind of person who raised her voice like that. At least, never in front of her father. Yet after hearing his story, she could not stop herself. The disbelief burst out before she could rein it in.Zeref leaned back against the arm of the sofa, his eyes closed, fingers pressing into his temples. “Esther, mind your tone.”The words snapped her back to reality, a sharp reminder of who stood before her. She clenched her fists on her lap. “How could that happen, Father? Why did you decide to drive Felix away just like that? I mean, there was no solid proof back then. Nothing could actually confirm Elson’s words.” Her voice trembled with frustration as the realization sank in.That decision, made long ago, had been the spark that ignited Vinson’s hatred toward her. Everything terrible that followed was clearly part of that man’s revenge against her family. And it was so unfair. Esther had lived in ignorance all this time. “I’m not saying I don’t trust Elson. But

“Esther, are you alright?”She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard her father’s voice beside her. Esther turned her head and smiled softly. “I’m fine, Father.”She did not know why, but out of all the memories crowding her mind, the one that surfaced was the incident with Vinson and the chewing gum. Truthfully, it was one of her most traumatic experiences. Because of it, her hair had to be cut short. Very short. Perhaps because her mind was already burdened, old memories began to rise uninvited, especially after the long conversation she and her father had that morning.At the moment, Esther, Elson, and Zeref had just finished lunch and were on their way home. The quiet stretch of the drive left Esther alone with her thoughts, drifting back to the past. And inevitably, to the message that had ignited her anger.Sender: Gaara MaxwellJuly 25, 2024 1:39:22 PMEsther, where are you? I’ve called you so many times and you’re not at your apartment. I really need to see you right now.

Esther’s breath caught when she noticed someone sitting on the front steps of the house, waiting. The figure stood the moment Zeref Rodrigo’s Bentley rolled to a stop right in front of him.“Who’s that?” Zeref frowned, trying to place the unfamiliar young man.“Looks like someone Esther knows,” Elson muttered, sounding annoyed.The three of them stepped out of the car, and Gaara immediately rushed toward Esther. But the second he saw Zeref and Elson subtly blocking the way, he slowed down, stepping back with polite restraint. He bowed slightly, aiming his respect toward Zeref. “I’m Gaara Maxwell. It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Zeref.” He barely acknowledged Elson at all.Zeref returned the gesture. “And what brings you here, sitting on the steps of my home?”“I need to talk to Esther. There’s something we need to discuss,” Gaara said, firm and confident.Zeref raised a brow and glanced at his daughter, who hadn’t said a word, then at his nephew, who clearly didn’t approve of letting Esthe

Esther was stuck in heavy traffic on her way to the giant entertainment complex in the city center. According to the plan she had carefully put together, she intended to bring her family face to face with the brothers who had once suffered so much. Esther wanted her father and Elson especially to sit at the same table and apologize for what had happened in the past, even if their regret would never be enough to make up for everything that had been done. Although she had spent years hating Vinson, once she learned the truth behind his actions, Esther realized she could no longer stand by and watch the feud between their families continue.Since Esther had a fairly good relationship with Felix, her father trusted her to reach out to the man. So earlier that morning, she finally gathered the courage to send Felix a short message asking if he had time to meet her.Luckily, he didn’t make her wait. He replied almost immediately and even invited her to have lunch at a restaurant inside the
