Tomas POV

I went 10 years back after I send Hermi and Freya to Nilam's parent's house. They are staying there as we will be at our Prom. I didn't enjoy anything those days even I forget to eat. Her tears, her pain hurt so much. I wanted to go to her to say why I did it. I wanted to kiss her lips to make love to her. But I become a coward cause I was afraid to lose my Sister. She took my ring as a punishment that I don't deserve to be called her husband anymore. I didn't live till the moment I saw her again.
She is getting ready and I am at the gate right now, waiting for her as an old tradition. Gates open and She comes. That long red dress with a strip of sparkles, her honey wavy hair, and just a bit of makeup makes her more out of this world. You go open dictionary and find all synonyms for Beautiful and she deserves all of it. It's something else in her that makes her divine. She approaches and I feel tears touching my face. I wonder myself why tears I am going with her to Prom, she is mine and will be mine forever.
"Tomas what's wrong?! I am not beautiful!?" she asked and I just hugged her, not caring to ruin her dress. She didn't protest just get more attached to my chest.
"Man you just went for a drive! So much you missed me?" she asked being inside the car. I took her hand and kissed her.
"I miss you when I blink Esther!" I said and drive in silence she doesn't like to talk when we drive we talk only when a chofer drives for us.
She is thinking and looks peacefully. I think a star had fallen the day she was born.

Again in high school. Inside we wait for our friends to enter together. Angel comes with Noah to us, they have been here before as was Angel company taking care.
All Hive is, here again, Girls were in black and boys in white except me and Rajan and of course our Queen in red. When I saw Paris coming with May I became a macho man, I took Esther from her belly and approached her near my body. Protecting what is mine. She just laughs and I am lost in her green eyes...
We enter inside school remembering those months when we fall in love step by step. She got lost behind as was talking to Hermi. I know her habit that she stays too much on her Phone when she walks on the safe ground. Girls and Boys went and we were left alone. I like the idea that I can tower her a bit now. After our knock joke, she starts her lovely countdown. This time she finished then both were lost in each other eyes. She raises up and touches my lips with hers I put her body around my arms as we kiss each other, She tastes pure Love.

Inside the tent, I see old classmates wich I have met randomly through the years. I meet them and I spend some time with Noah and Rajan as they are new here. Their classes are thinking the same thing to do soon but both have afraid to go with their women as there will be full of their exes. I see Esther talking with May and there comes Paris, I excused myself and went to her. I grab her from the waist. She knows why I am doing this, Him too. He gives his excuses why he acted like that. I say something and she just stares at me and we are lost in time and space again.
We dance till our breath run away, I didn't dance for a decade only back then with her. She taught me a month before we get married, we practice a bit now, with Hermi too.
After dropping sweat on the dance floor we let the tent as Triumphator. Catching our breath there when I kissed her for the first time. I kissed her again. I didn't know why I had a feeling that I am kissing for the last time like this. I am hatting myself now.

Time to say who is Queen and King. Of course, she is the Queen, I had a little hope but loosed when his name was mentioned. Damian is Here!
I want to beat him as I did years ago. He takes the mic and starts to insult my wife, I can't tolerate but she stops me. When he finished with his venom is Queen Esther round to prove why she was Queen bee. He try to hush her but he forgot that she isn't a commune girl. She makes him a joke before classmates in his low game. She checkmates him!
He never accept the idea that she chose me and now that she said we were married piss him more. He grabs her from her arm. No one touches my Queen. I try to be civilized but I lose my control and give him what he deserved.
He disappears but not before saying something to her that I hope she doesn't listen. My Queen says wants to go to refresh herself a bit and suggests I stay to talk to others about the news she shared.
Having passed more than 10 minutes I am waiting for her inside the tent but she is not coming then I start to look for her. I ask May and she just says she took her car. I see Damian entering.
"Did you see Esther?!"
"Yes, I saw her and she came after me to the bathroom! Guess what we were doing?!" I hate guys talking like that for girls more in his case when he tries to defame my woman, my wife, my life. I grab from his jacket.
" Did you tell her the truth of that day?!"
" So is impossible for me and her to have a quicky at the bathroom!" he smirked. I punched him hard twice and he fall to the ground.
"You gonna die like a dog on streets! You don't have respect for anyone! She is a woman that you claim to love and talk like this. Thankfully she despite you and if she fallowed you is for information! Now for your sake tell me what you said to her!" I said after I pick him from the floor and pinned him to a pillar.
"I told her the truth that I know! Her parents and I put you in ambush to let her!"
"Damian you are stupid! I didn't know to tell her the truth that is eating me alive! She can't bear that truth!" I said and set him free.
"What is wrong with you?!"Rajan asked.
"I need to go to Esther! Sorry, everyone!" I said and went after her to the mansion.

Esther POV
My car is more like an automobile that can drive for itself just put the destination and you are there without driving. This is why I took her car. My life is going in my front. My heart is beyond hurt.
I enter inside gates, the car turns off alone. I open the door and went to his office. He is staying there in cold posture playing chess with himself. I took a deep breath and enter.
"Honey bee!" my dad said to me, I move forward to the chessboard, which is red and black. I took Red Queen and moved forward to his Black King even being protected I dethroned.
"This isn't the right move Honey bee! I know you will like that A Queen can do so many moves but she can't ever Checkmate A king like this."
"In the game, she can't but in real life the Queen standing before you can do this and much Mister Anthony Richards. Finally, you are Checkmate dear DAD!"
"HE told you the truth!"
"No, he will never dare to break my heart by protecting his truth only in case when someone threatens him with the life of his sister. There he can cause him pain and kiss another woman in the place he promised love to me.!"
"Honey bee, first calm down! You know your conditions!"
"Did you care for me dad when you make that complot to break my heart in millions of pieces and more to let another child miss her father as my daughter did for ten years!" I end it screaming.
"Don't raise the voice, Esther!"
" I do anything! You taught me like this!"
"Screaming doesn't do good in your condition!"
"His cheating, 10 years without my love, 10 years crying for him for my daughter didn't make me wish my own death like I did tonight when your preference Damian spoke the truth to me. Why?"
"Esther! Sit down you are not looking well!"
"Don't touch me!"
"Ok!"
"I don't understand you! You helped him, you brought him to that school! You are his godfather, you raised him! You care for him no you love him! I saw genuine affection that sometimes you don't show it to me! You didn't see him by my side but saw that punk that dare to insult me tonight! That makes my entry there a living hell!"
"Things are not so simple Esther!"
"Are simple dad sorry all-mighty Anthony Richards! If you wanted a perfect toy then you shouldn't send me there to high school when Love can happen."
"You did a mistake Honey bee! You got married without our permission!" was the voice of my mum coming behind me.
"Final Bonnie enters beside her beloved Claude!" - I said sarcastically. I am dying inside my heart is crashing my cage surprisingly I am still on my feet.
"Don't talk like that with your mother!"
"Why mister Anthony or sorry Claude you both create a kidnapping to force him to cheat me! Perfect criminal duo!"
"Don't speak to us like that have more respect!" my dad scold me.
"Why do I have to respect you? Cause you give me life? You took it back tonight! I am dying right now seeing my parents that did everything to destroy me for what cause I decided to marry the man I loved. You are so evil that couldn't see that he made you a favor. Tonight I could speak with full mouth and pride for being his wife for ten years like this I didn't become another pregnant slut of high school like your preference called me before all school!"
"He did What?!" my mum react.
"Don't need to react mum, my husband protect my owner again! If I married him is because I had thought everything! I was rich and if you said no money for me then I will work till I turned 21 and have the shares my grandfather let for me. Even you will refuse to give that I was finishing university and I will find a job, and I have friends too dad that prooved themselves all these years. So you loosed me tonight for good! I will leave this house, CEO position, my shares everything I had from you. I will be with Pride only Esther Taylor!" I said and left them alone as I went to the washroom.
My life was in their hand all the time together with my happiness. They chose this way. I will be happy with my own family away from all this control.
" Thankfully she doesn't know all the truth, Ashley! So really they got married back then?!"
"Yes, I just

find out from social media! And I said that so she could not dig more otherwise you will tell her everything.!"
"I know we did a horrible thing then and if wasn't for Siren we will be In big trouble now!"
"Yes, you are right Love! If our plan will succeed I can't imagine her reaction right now!"
" If she one day finds out that we wanted to interrupt her pregnancy so the embryo to become her new heart will hate forever!" my dad said to my mum. I heard everything as I was standing in shadow.
I move and a vase fall down, my parents noticed that I was there they come after me.
I wasn't feeling the ground at all.
" Leave me alone!" I said and open the door the pain that I had was gone for good.
"Esther! Esther! My Queen!" he comes to me and holds me in his lovely arms.
"I am dying Love! I am sorry for everything! Take care of yourself and Hermi!" I said and I fell in his arms. I still listen to his voice as I am on his arms and my body faced the ground. I have no cold cause I am cold now. I can't move too much but I open my eyes to see his blue crystals. I will die like this like I once wanted but not old enough.
"5" I barely said.
"Love, please don't do this to me now!"
"4"
" I don't deserve to lose you!"
"3"
"Forget! You are mine!"
I couldn't say anything as he kissed me and finally, I let my last breath on his lips.
