《VOWS THAT BIND US ✔️》CHAPTER 16 : VOWS THAT BIND US
Advertisement
I pulled off infront of the orphanage and walked towards the big iron gate that welcomed me in a huge garden flanked with rows of beautiful flowers. There were little kids and teenagers everywhere.
My eyes roamed amongst the kids until they landed on her. There she was sitting under a tree with kids surrounding her. I never paid any attention to her and now that I was doing, I must say, she looked really cute.
I was just watching her, when Ethan Parker came and stood behind her. He gestured kids to be quiet and in next minute, he showered her with beautiful flowers. At first she got startled but then a huge smile took over her features. I have never seen her smile so big and unconsciously, it made me smile too.
I was so busy in admiring them that I didn't realise she was already looking at me with her nose scrunched up indicating her confusion. Another habit of her. Within seconds she smiled and walked towards me.
"Hey"
"Hey"
"Your work's done ? Will you be joining us now ?" Her voice was filled with excitement.
"Only if you guys won't mind." Her smile widened if it was possible.
"Ofcourse, we won't mind, come on let's go." She said and lead me to others.
"By the way, why didn't you bring Lisa ?"
As soon as she mentioned her name my fist clench. Even mention of her was making me mad.
"I broke up with her." She stopped dead in her tracks. Her eyes went wide and mouth hung open. I nudged her shoulders to bring her back to reality.
"You'll catch a fly." I spoke. Her cheeks red as roses. Goes right with her cloths. A thought came in mind. After that she didn't ask any questions, which I was thankful for and silently lead us to the swings.

"By the way I can call you Zach, right ?" She whispered. What else did she think of calling me ? Mr. Knight. I sighed at my thought and gave her a nod.
"Hey guys- " they all turned towards us. "-Zach will also join us." My name sounded so different from her mouth.
They all turned around. There were two ladies, I recognise as Reece and Ethan's wife and a kid, I know as Reece's son.
"Please act like you did infront of mom & dad." She whispered again. I nodded. Ignoring the slight wave of disappointment that I felt. Maybe this is how she would be feeling that day.
"Hello Mr.Knight."
"It's good to see you, Mr.Morris, Mr. Parker and you all. And Zach will do." They all gave me a small smile.
"Reece will do"
"Ethan will do." They both said at the same time.
They introduced me to their wives : Emma and Sarah and also to a the kid, who's no doubt apple of their eyes. I must say they are all very attached. After spending about two to three hours there we left for the beach.
"She'll come with me ." I told others keeping my eyes trained on her. She nodded and hopped in my car. There was pin drop silence. I glanced at her every now and then to find her looking outside.
"I really enjoyed there, thanks."
She turned to look at me, a smile was gracing her features.
"You're welcome, we all are glad to have you with us." I smiled at her words.
"How long have you known them ?"
"Reecie and Ethy for 15 years, Emma for 8 years and Sarah for 5 years."
"Wow"
"What about your friends ?"
"I am not so friendly person, but I have a few friends that are scattered around the globe."

"Oh." was all she replied.
"You would have made a lot of memories there." I asked and once again silence fell upon us. I turned towards her, she had a distant look on her face.
"Yeah." She spoke in a barely audible voice and then turned to face me. "I did." We just kept looking at each other until I turned my attention back to the road.
"Hope they are all good."
"Yeah." She whispered and looked outside the window. She was looking in deep thought and it sure didn't look good. Great you just ruined everything. I scolded myself.
After that I kept my mouth shut and soon we reached the beach.

The Villain’s Redemption
“I’ll see you on the other side of the stars,” she whispered before breathing her last.
8 1174Romance - plus Judgemental Powers? Completed
Blue was a red headed boy who desperately wanted a girlfriend. So he asked the class beauty to walk home with him. She very nicely refused him. So he asked another girl in the same class, one with an average rating in the social status ranking. She also refused him. So, still desperate, he thinks – “I’m probably at the bottom of the ranking for boys in this class, so how about I ask the girl who is also at the lowest ranking?” The girl’s name was Pink. She said yes. Gulp. “What do I do now?” was his reaction. Well, obviously, have a romance. And, along the way, they get one hell of a lot more than they bargained for. Like, for example, supernatural Judgemental Powers. How did they get those? And that was only the start. The two most insignificant students in their class become famous. Not just in their class or even in their school, but to the population at large. They end up breaking and making the top politicians and rulers of their country. But finally, of course, they get what they wanted. A committed relationship. This is an Esmeralda the Angel of Death story. It follows on from my previous novel “Maybe it would have been a good idea not to wish for a harem?”, however it is a totally separate story with only a minimal overlap in the characters. There is no need to read the first story to enjoy this one. Although you just might enjoy the first story also… This story has multiple characters and multiple Points of View. Every POV change is clearly marked with a new header. Inside each POV section, the POV character’s thoughts are in italics. This story has about 105,000 words (about 380 RoyalRoad pages). It is fully written and proof read (the poor man’s proof read using Word). It has 25 chapters, and will be published at the rate of roughly one chapter per day.
