Chapter 17

• Ester, I know no apology would be enough to make up for my deed. That's why, punish me.
• “Desmond…” I heard Ester's voice and my heart literally stopped beating when the sound of heartbreak intoxicated me in dread of seeing her reaction mixed with extensive anger for the person who did that. My heart clenched as I pushed that girl named Tamara away and turned to Ester.
• She narrowed her eyes and looked at me in dolor. The look of intense agony and grief flashed in her gaze. My heart skipped a beat as my mind was filled with apprehensive thoughts of facing something unbearable. The emotions evoked in Ester might be something I never imagined I would see. There was wrath.
