** Episode-54 "I will be fair"**
** Ernest's POV: **
I was checking the papers, I had nothing to do today, nothing.. so I decided to work
extra hours.. what I didn't knew was Celeste will show up... I looked at her, she
is studying..
I noticed she
opened her wallet, and touched it's inner side, she smiled, what is she looking
at?.. I am too far to see what is looking at that, she smiles but appears sad
at the same time... she kept the wallet aside and concentrated on the book
Her hairs are down
today, they are really long, almost reaches her butt.. she was so much into the
book, her lips moves as she read the lines silently, her eyes are so
concentrated... I smiled to myself.. wait... what..
I couldn't take
my eyes off her, suddenly Isabella's face came in my mind,
(Isabella whined, "babe.. I have exam next
week... can't I just study" Ernest pulled her on his lap and kissed her collar
bones, Isabella giggles as she feels the funny sensation.. Ernest said, "exam
is next week.. today.. can't your boyfriend love you.." Isabella touched his
face, she smiled and said, "you won't stop right..." Ernest said as shake his
head, "no.." she kissed on his forehead..)
Icame back to sense.. I gulped this feelings, my eyes
were not leaving Celeste who was busy in study... she flipped the page, and
continued to read... my mind rang with the words Alexis said to me, "Make her
Isabella.." I continued to read the papers to distract himself....
After 30 minutes I
heard Celeste, "Sir... it's time for your coffee but office cafeteria is locked, should I order a coffee?" she said
this all cheerfully, this girl is not in my understanding, sometime she is
indifferent and sometimes she is cheerful..
I opened my wallet
and pulled the card and said, "ok.. take-" she said in between, "Sir... it's fine.. I already ordered it.. and
I made the online payment... actually you let me sit in your cabin and let me
study.. so this is my treat... we should be fair right..."
I looked at her as
she spoke the same words,
(Isabella said
as she demanded, "you paid for dinner last night.. I am paying for lunch... I
I smirked, I opened
the wallet and I was frozen as I see this picture in the wallet.. my hands are
shaking in anger, I see this picture of a young teen age girl, I can tell it's
Celeste and a women beside her and a man... the man I hate most... the man in the
picture made my inner demon awake, Celeste was hugging the man in the picture....
The man looks happy.. how dare he be happy after making me miserable....
I heard the door
open, Celeste walks in, she said, "sorry.. I didn't knock..." she was surprised
to see me with her wallet.. she walked to me and said, "my mom.. isn't she
beautiful.... I was 14 when we clicked that picture.... Mom and I ..." She kept the
coffee down on the table.. she sigh and said, "and dad...." Something inside me
was burning in anger..
Celeste smiled
bitterly and said, "My dad... Reef Millar... my missing father..." the revenge I was
craving for crawled to the surface... I
looked at her in anger.... she was the daughter of the man who killed my
Isabella, and she was all around me for more than a month.... Well come to hell
Celeste... my personal hell for you......
