RECOMMEND SONG: But I Love You By Young Saab & Chole Lilac ~????

The entire shell felt like a stuffy room for Esme who panted and gasped desperately to stable her breathing. Her eyes were watery like a stream ready to fall down anytime. The pain of being deceived was terrible than one could imagine.

Have you ever thought of shattering your whole world which was built with so much trust being broken into pieces within a moment?

Athena was stunned after taking a glance of her painful momentum and blamed herself for not spouting anything excusable to sooth her pain. Just at that moment, Athena pursued his lips together to say something, Esme lifted her hand up in the air indicating the woman to stop lying to her anymore.

Her world was shattering already and she couldn't take anymore painful truth from her!

As she remained muddle-headed, completely clueless about how to accept this brutal reality, the old Lord suddenly sneered coldly. His eyes ogled at Esme who gave cold attitude to Athena who was trying to coax her aching heart.

The Old Lord only thought that she was being rude to Athena and didn't deserve to be treated like an honourable lady. Thus he stated boldly ignoring Athena's presence inside the shell,

" Enough of your little acting, bitch. Now obey my order and give us your damn blood. After that you can shed tears how much you want. No one will go to stop you anyways."

He ordered ruthlessly as his whole momentum spreaded a dark aura. As he inspected Esme's broken figure, he boldly took a step towards her in this thought that he would personally take out her blood from fragile figure.

Just at that moment, he was an inche away from her, Esme was alerted about his approach immediately. Her teared eyes shuddenly shot up to stare at his wrinkled face that made the old Lord halting in his track abruptly. Her lips quivered together in pain and agony and a bloodthirsty aura immediately lashed out from her dark hooded eyes.

With her teeth grinding and fists clenching together in rage, Esme spitted out coldly as her body trembled in boiling anger,

" You..you think that you can capture me here? You think that your damn prison can capture me here, fool ?"

The Old Lord was startled after hearing her icy voice and didn't notice the white flames spreading out from her body contiously. By the time, he decided to head outside, it was already too late.

Esme groaned in anger as her body exerted a huge force of white flames in a shot. The old Lord was immediately attacked by her unleashed power and received a huge force on his stomach. He instantly let out a shrill cry before flying up in the air high. After rolling once in the mid air, his body got thrashed against the ironic gate of prison. His back got hit pretty badly that caused him loosing two bones behind his back.

With his mouth bouncing against the hard floor hardly, he lost his two middle teeth that caused bleeding from his mouth profusely. He whimpered in pain twisting on the ground and didn't dare to look up at Esme whose chest was heaving up and down in rage. Her pain and rage combined such a force that she had lost control from her powers.

Even Athena and Siemus had to step back after witnessing such a bloody scence within a few moments. Siemus murmured to herself lowly while tugging Athena to stay back in case Esme ends up venting her rage on Athena,

" She.. she..is beyond more.. powerful..than I had assumed."

Athena glanced up at Esme once again deeply as her eyes scorched deep through Esme's soul in hoping to analyze her sudden erupted powers. Esme's face was pale like a piece of white paper but the red glimmers stained on her skin was fair enough to express how angered she was. She was frustrated over herself and silently hoped that everything would turn into a dream once she wakes up.

But the cruel reality was just in front of her eyes!

Her vision blurred as she exhaled restless sighs that helped her suppressing those muffled screams that were battling inside her to come out.

Athena sighed miserably and didn't dare to approach the enraged woman who was still tormenting the harmed old lord with her ferocious eyes.

Athena didn't know what kind of spell that Esme was using to torment that stubborn lord. But he was constantly groaning in pain as his twisted figure was stuck on Esme's merciless eyes.

She was determined to torment him more to vent out her own frustration but was interrupted midway after hearing out Athena's pleading voice.

After witnessing Esme's vicious side, Athena couldn't endure anymore and pleaded her in a low voice,

" Sister-in-law.. Please..Let go of him.. He doesn't worth it.."

Esme choked before withdrawing her tormented gaze from him and glanced up at Athena coldly. Holding back the anger and wrath that she was feeling inside, she managed to spit out lowly,

" Where..where..is he? "

Athena sawlloed after hearing out her cold voice and immediately knew that what did she mean exactly. After pondering for a while, she mumbled averting her gaze on the floor,

" He.. he has gone to stop Enchantress.. But..I..I am afraid that he can't win against her.. He is already passing through his third stage and might get harmed easily.. But why are you..."

Athena couldn't finish her words as she watched leaving Esme out of the prison with her head high like a mountain. Just then she thought of trailing her off closely, Siemus held her back on her spot and assured absentmindedly,

" She knows that what she is doing! Don't worry, my lady. I just hope that she can see through the good intentions of Lord."

Athena paused abruptly as her eyes filled with sympathy for his brother who finally learnt to love someone wholeheartedly.

Why did they all have to suffer for their love like this?

Esme walked out of the prison robotically as her gaze was vacant without any glimpse of emotions. Her paces towards upstairs were steady but her vision repeated those sweet memories that she shared with Aaron so far. Her heart clenched into a tight knot when she realised that everything was just a beautiful lie, a well planned trap in the name of love.

Right at that moment, when her pace continued walking into Aaron's study room, she finally realized that why her mother never got to forgive their father for his betrayal.

At some point, she really thought that her mother was way too selfish to leave their father all alone without bothering to look for him. But now she felt the exact pain that her mother once felt deeply.

Pain of betrayal !

After everything, all she wanted to run away from everything so that this memories couldn't hurt her anymore. After all this time, she finally figured out that every good memories is bound to become a horrified nightmare someday.

She smiled at herself one last time and murmured painfully,

" You won finally but I have lost myself in loving you."
