Elijah sighed inwardly. He thought that she must have been angry and was blaming him for being gone for five days! He was indeed very busy! His legs first entered from the bottom part of the quilt that was loose and then his arms went in to embrace her waist. He used some force and pulled the body that was struggling to go out back into his arms.
Esther froze and was struggling, trying to get out of his embrace.
âSleep! Babe, I havenât slept well for days!â
âYouâre very tired?â she asked with hidden meanings in her words.
âYes! Iâm a little busy! So, Iâm quite tired also!â
Busy hooking up with Kattie, right? Esther snorted in her mind. He surprisingly acted as if nothing had happened. Esther was annoyed and she felt like she was going to suffocate. She sat up violently while holding the quilt.
âBabe, whatâs wrong?â Elijah was taken aback.
Esther stared at him in a daze and asked again, âElijah, you donât have anything to tell me?â
âWhat exactly do you want to say?â Seeing her like this, he knew that there must be something she wanted to say.
âLet me ask you one more time, did you go on the business trip yourself?â
âYes!â He nodded and then added, âBut, Kattie also went afterward!â
When he mentioned Kattie, the unpleasant scene in that video made her almost suffocate for a while! âYou guys were together?â
âShe was the one who went to me!â he said, âBut, Kattie will never come back! She has gone to France and she said that she will never come back!
She specifically went to say goodbye to me!â
âNever come back? You want to say the reason she went to the US to look for you was just to say goodbye, right? Because you guys were separating soon, so you guys couldnât help but do it, right? You want to say that you were seduced, right?â All of Estherâs emotions turned to grief and anger at once.
âBabe...â Elijah was stunned, âHow do you know that Kattie and I were together?â
âElijah! You bastard!â Kattie violently threw the flash drive in her pocket onto the bed as hard as she could, âLook at what is this!â
âWhat?â Elijah was stunned for a while. Then, he picked up the flash drive, went to the study, and turned on the computer. After the flash drive was inserted, he was entirely dumbfounded. His mind quickly recalled the day in New York in which he suddenly received a call from Kattie...
âElijah, Iâm at the lobby of your hotel!â Kattie said on the phone.
âHow come you come here?â Elijah was a bit shocked but he still said, âCome up!â
Kattie went upstairs and hugged him as soon as she saw him.
Elijah quickly released her but she said while smiling, âDonât worry, I wonât eat you up! Elijah, Iâm going to France. I know you donât like me and donât love me either. I can only leave you in gloom and doom!â
âWhat do you mean?â
âIâll no longer be your secretary and will no longer see you. Weâll not meet each other from now on!â she said, âStart a new life!â
Elijah froze for a long time. Kattie came forward again with a smile, âOne last hug! You wonât be so stingy, right?â
As she said, she then wrapped her arms around Elijahâs neck once again. Elijah thought that they had known each other for many years and were considered close friends. Now, since she said that she was leaving and she wanted a hug, he should not be stingy so he hugged her also, âKattie, take care!â
However, later, his neck felt a moment of pain, and then, he heard Kattie whispering, âElijah, for the last time, Iâll give you a gift! I hope you like it! Iâm sorry, I love you so much!â
His head was instantly dizzy. Elijah knew it was a special-made drug. He shook his head and then blacked out without knowing what happened at all!
When he regained his consciousness, he found himself all naked and was lying on the sofa. His private part, as if it had been spoiled, was stained with what looked like a womanâs secretions. He did not know what had happened but Kattie was gone! And now, when he saw this video, a chill went down his spine. The person in there was indeed him! It was not fake!
Could it be that he was raped by Kattie? He was startled. The shock he had was not less than Estherâs.
At the door of the study, Esther leaned on the door and was helplessly looking at his dismayed look, âWhat else do you want to say?â
âI...â Elijah was dumbfounded, âThis...â
âAre you trying to tell me that it isnât you?â
âNo! This is me!â he said.
Her eyes darkened. Her chest was rising and falling irregularly as she was gasping.
âBabe, it was a mistake, I didnât take the initiative to do it!â He said quickly and did not know how to explain, âIn fact, I donât know what happened! I didnât expect this!â
Esther snorted and looked at him with a gloomy gaze, âIt has happened anyway!â
âBabe, it isnât what you think!â Elijah could not deny it.
âThen how is it like? You also said that the man inside is you, right? Since itâs you, what else you want to say? Iâm going to bed, goodnight!â She did not want to say anything more. She just felt exhausted.
However, afterward, Elijah was sleepless all night. In the study, he smoked for the whole night.
He did not sleep at all.
The two of them were staying in different rooms. Esther had a sleepless night and the same thing happened to Elijah. After waking up in the early morning, the two of them met each other in the living room. They glanced at each other, but Esther rapidly turned her face away, not wanting to meet his eyes. Looking at Estherâs eyes which showed that she wanted to keep a distance from him, Elijah was heartbroken, and he clenched his fists even more tightly.
There was no blame and no questioning! As if nothing had happened.
Esther carried her bag, intending to go and attend classes. When she was leaving, Elijah wanted to say something but eventually, he still did not say anything after opening his mouth.
In the presidentâs office of Ball Group, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the newspapers were lying quietly on the desk. A tall, sturdy figure was leaning against a large black leather chair. There were dominance and arrogance in between the eyebrows as if he was the king that was overlooking everything. However, nobody could see the complexity in his eyes. His slender fingers were pressing his nasal bridge and he was pondering...
After ten minutes, noise intruded out of the blue.
âHudson!â Christ barged into the presidentâs office with a pale face, âWhat, what the hell are you going to do?â
The face of the person behind the desk was slightly darkened. He said unhurriedly, âDestroy Ball Group!â
âWhy?â Christâs eyes widened in shock. It was real. He wanted to destroy Ball Group.
âI think you know better than I do!â Hudson raised his eyes slightly and gazed at his father. There was no hint of guilt in his eyes, âYou forced me to do it! Now, Ball Group is just an empty shell. All the capital has been transferred away by me. The remaining real estate is no longer able to run the company! Dad, youâve ruined my life and Iâve ruined your painstaking effort. We donât owe each other anything!â
âBut, Iâm doing this for your good, Hudson!â said Christ.
âFor my good, you plotted to break up Esther and me, didnât you?â He coldly snorted. He had heard such a reason for a hundred times.
âWhere did you transfer those capitals to?â Christ ignored Hudsonâs question and asked about the capitals that he had transferred away instead.
âCharity!â This amount of money should be able to save many people if itâs used for charity purposes!â Hudson said indifferently.
âYou...â Christ staggered backward, âHudson, is there no way back?â
âWhen you decided to do that in the past, you didnât leave any way back for me!â
âGood! Youâre indeed my son!â Christ sneered, âLike me, youâre able to do anything just for a woman! Youâre indeed my son!â
Hudson stood up and ignored his words. After all, he was going to leave. After Ball Group declared bankruptcy, he would leave with Winnie! He got up, took his suit, and walked out!
âHudson...â Christ pulled him, âYou canât ruin Ball Group founded by me!â âItâs too late!â Hudson strode away after uttering these words.
After walking out of Ball Group, he looked up at the azure sky in the distance. He was finally leaving. He would never see Esther again. Inexplicably, Hudson was overcome by melancholy, making his cold face look extremely disconsolate.
Finally, Ball Group declared bankruptcy!
When Esther saw this news from the busâs TV, she was stunned.
When she saw Hudson saying to the media reporters that Ball Group was bankrupt in a manner as if a great burden had been taking off his shoulder.
She deeply felt his love for her, Hudson! In this world, no man would love me as much as you did! However, I fell in love with Elijah. So, all this was Godâs punishment for me for betraying my love! That was why I was so miserable at this moment!
After taking a deep breath, she got off the bus. Facing the large campus, she could no longer smile. There was no class today but she had no place to go and the lesson only started in the evening. But, she still came to the school early.
When she was about to enter the school, she received a call from Hudson. Hearing the low and familiar voice on the other end of the phone, Esther was on the verge of tears, âHudson...â
A Moment in Destiny ï¤Chapter 618 Clear Picture âEsther, are you free?â Hudson asked.
Stunned, she nodded her head, âYes!â
âLetâs have a meal together!â he said.
âOkay!â
Therefore, he drove to school and drove her to have a meal.
Hudson chose a quiet and comfortable restaurant and the dishes he chose were all Estherâs favorite. When the food was served, Esther lowered her head and was contemplating about what to say.
âEsther, Iâm leaving!â Hudson said softly, âThis is the last dinner we will have together!â
From now on, he would not appear in front of her again, he was afraid he would not be able to let go of her if he continued to stay here.
âHudson!â Estherâs heart sank, âYouâre leaving? Where are you going?â
âYes! Iâll bring Winnie and go to live in Switzerland!â he said, âTo start a new life!â
âGood! You guys must be happy!â She suddenly looked up and curled into a radiant smile. But in an instant, her tears uncontrollably trickled down her eyes and her tone was unclear as she choked. She abruptly lowered her head again, âIâll pray for you, Iâll pray for you to be healthy and happy forever!â
âYouâre crying?â His hand trembled slightly when he saw ripples in the soup in front of Esther.
âNo!â She shook her head to deny it.
âEsther, youâve grown up! You should know what you want. Be happy with Elijah, or else, I wonât feel at ease!â
âIâll be happy!â Esther said solemnly, âThe meal today is the farewell banquet, isnât it? I want to eat lots of food, letâs start eating!â
