Chapter # 9

Ester, I had no idea my one mistake would ruin our future.

A few months after it, Henry came to me looking infuriated. I looked at him as he grabbed my collar and punched me in the face.

"What the hell did you tell her?!" He yelled and was about to punch me again but I stopped it and pushed him away.

"What the hell man?!" I shouted at him.

"What have you done to her!? She has turned suicidal because of you!" Henry yelled. "Who?"

"My sister! Grace!"

"What can I do about it? She cannot force me to love her and I cannot pretend that I love her when I don't!" I shouted back.

"At least try God Damn it! She will die without you!" He shouted as tears began to stream down his face.

"How Henry when I don't? She cannot do this by throwing some tantrums." I reason, wiping the blood present on the corner of my lips with my sleeves.

"Desmond..." Grace's voice came as she looked at me with her teary eyes, heartbroken to hear my words.
