Ezra moved back and forth in his room. He was that one guy who chose his career path by himself. He was a casanova once upon a time stealing every woman heart. Women fall in love with him because of his royal chivalry. He was loved by many which made him forget the love bonds with other important people.
He flipped the pages of the contract that Shaira gave them.
Clause 1: Party A (Shaira) doesn't want any contact with Party b( Vanedestine). All the decision about her future would solely hers without any intervention of the Party(B)
Clause 2: Party A doesn't need any financial support and family assets from Party B
Clause 3: Incase if any breach in contract. Party A could secure its position with a judicial case.The same goes for Party B
Clause 4: Party B also allowing Party A to have full freedom of her choices. Knowing full well she had not being turned to adult yet ultimately giving up theri guardian rights on her.
Ezra eyes closed as to swallow a lump of emotions. He never liked her before but he gave her a chance after his eldest brother's order. The first time he saw her in kitchen looking frightened of each and every thing. He knew he could never hate her again.
When she sat beside him not even saying a thing knowing well enough that he had never done a single good deed to her in his whole life. Ezra knew that her sister was a gem of a girl. A kind girl with a broken heart.
His jaw clenched as he stopped in the middle of the room. He knew if he loved her true. He needed to mend ways and give her whatever she wanted. Even if it hurts him too.
He would stand behind her even this is the war against her brothers.
He walked out of his room and walked up straight to his eldest brother office.
If this is what Shaira wants, I will give it to her.
.....
Dexton eyes furrowed as he saw Ezra briskly walking to desk. Shaira had been working in the company for about a week now. He could not help but chuckle all the time when she scrunched her nose when he ask one more coffee to the office.
She would simply shrug and gave her a green tea instead. Telling it's more healthy. He had also noticed her immense interest in the diffrent business ideas. How she would stand behind the corner reading some recent buisness project report files and getting their drawbacks.
She would be one heck of a business woman.
His happy bubble burst as Ezra put the papers with the thump.
"Get them signed. Now."
Dexton eyes widen as he saw the custody annulment papers.
"Where did you get these?" Dexton said. His eyes were a octave chiller.
"It doesn't matter. Only you have access to our father. Tell me where he is and I will personally go there to get them signed."
Ezra said his voice matching his brother.
"Watch your tone, Ezra." Dexton said as his eyes swirl with anger.
"I hate to break it to you but weren't you the one who cornered her the most. You have no right to come here for her rights when I am doing everything to make it right in someway."
Dexton as his jaw ticked.
"But is this working? I apologize. I am sorry for treating her that way but now if she want to leave. If that what she wants to be happy. I will fight for her."
"You will fight for her? From me." Dexton chuckled mockingly.
"You were the one who hurt her most. I am sure the last person she wants to be standing by her is you. Ezra."
"No that's not tr-"
"Do you not understand? If I give her this signature. She would be gone. Her contract says anything related to her would be hidden from us. We can't even find her legally. It would be over. Do you getting that? Over."
Dexton said as his hands banged on the table.
Ezra was silent. Would he be able to lose her when he had just found her?
"So what should we do? I hate it. I hate that even you said we would regret everything we were doing I didn't stop. We forced you to part with her. You lost her. She became cold. She didn't come to us anymore. I don't want to loose her but her nightmares had now become mine too. What should we do,Dexton?" Ezra said as his eyes watered.
"We can't do anything."
Dexton said as his eyes softened as he go around the table to Ezra and rubbed his shoulder.
"We could wait and hope we could at least maintain a relationship after she went away from us. She could forgive us enough to let us know where she is? How is she doing?"
Dexton sighed.
"I want a promise from you."
Ezra said as his eyes showed pure determination.
"If she came to you again and asked to sign her papers. You would do it. You would not halt her anymore."
Ezra said as his eyes begged him. Sexton eyes show reluctance but he knew somewhere Ezra was right. She did not deserve it.
"I promise. I would." Dexton said as he felt himself in dark abyss again. Fulfilling his brothers demand. His company. Every decision was his at last.
Ezra nodded as he waled out of the office. Before he could exit the door. He looked at his brother again.
"Everything is not your fault. Dexton. You did whatever you could."
He said as he finally went out of there.
Dexton fisted his hands as he looked at the gardens illuminated by dim lights.
He just wanted Shaira to stay. He would do anything to undo the damage but he knew he could never heal her. Especially his family could never heal her.
Looking at the papers. He sighed and call his secretary.
"Paul. Call dad. I want to have a chat with him."
....
Shaira had won the preliminary round for musician with ease. Her eyes shined Whenever she went one step ahead in the competition. She craved for win. She wanted to make herself known for the recognition before but now her mind always wander thinking about it. Her mind always pushed her back thinking she was doing this for same reasons as validation but now her mind took a beat to say it. She knew a doubt in her dark voice was an indication something positive is shifting in her.
Her line of thoughts were broken as the the her ticket to finale cum invitation card for her finale was taken by her one and only heart influencer-as she called him secretly- snatched the paper for her hands.
His eyes widen as he saw the contents.
"Hey! Don't you-"
"You got selected in top ten all over the country. Congratulations Cub. I am so happy for you."
Sebestian laughed in excitement. His voice rich as timber. Shaira could not help but blush because before he had never him laugh but now he was laughing more in front of her which by the way looked sexy to him.
"Don't fake surprise when you were in all of my prilimnary rounds."
Sebestian gets slightly widen even his overall expression remained same.
"How did you-"
"Seriously Sebestian. There was not even a single person until you glide in the auditorium and by the way, I could see you everywhere."
Shaira stiffen after realising she had given more than she called for. When she saw Sebestian face. She knew he had heard it too-of course.
"So.you could see my everywhere."
Sebestian eyes shined as he saw Shaira looking at the ground. Her ears red and cheeks with the most beautiful hue of red.
"I just said. You are the only one who came to see prilimnary rounds. So of course I see you."
Shaira said standing her ground.
"Don't lie to me now cub. Please."
Sebestian said he took one steep closer to her and caressing her cheek. Shaira eyes snapped towards him. Their face coming in close. The proximity was kind of peaceful for her. Shaira could not help but immerse in his eyes. It was shining.
Her concentration broke when her eyes went to his lips. There was no doubt she was attracted to him. His slightly open mouth as he was breathing heavily.. The expression was everything Shaira could ask for. The love. the longing. His eyes shifting from her eyes to her lips too.
She could never understand how every moment with him lit a spark in her and want her to do things she has never wanted to do.
"Don't look at me like that, Shaira or instead say yes. I would love to explore what going in your mind."
Shaira eyes widen as she jerked backwards as of coming in senses but before she could step backwards. Sebastian pulled her towards him making her all over in his arms again. Their face was closer than ever.
"You need to answer first. Do you want me to kiss you or not?"
Shaira eyes blinked as she looked at his eyes and lips again. She would give everything to have a kiss from him right now. She would happily give him her first kiss but the truth doesnot change. She would be very well in mess deeper than anything.
She took his hands in her as she part with him.
"I am sorry but- No."
Sebestian sighed as he smiled through the pain.
"Because I am in love with you. I would take your every words as truth but try to learn how to say lies,love. You are not good at lying at all."
Shaira eyes snapped as he saw Sebestiam caressing her cheek. His eyes showing pain and longing.
"Can't you let me go?"
Shaira said her eyes looking any signs doubt in the opposite eyes.
"I will let you go on the day I realise I don't have hope. I will fight through the end so don't say it again ever."
Shaira did not say anything. Her hands fisted on her sides. She could not choose both. She needed freedom yet Sebestian would be that one link which would never let her go anywhere. She was not made for love. She was born with hatered. Live with hatered. Survived with haterd and she was sure she would die with hatered.
"You are hurting yourself Sebestian. Stay away from me. Me and happiness were never on the same side and I am sure we never will be." Shaira said as she gave him a bitter smile.
"Let me decide that, will you?"
Sebestian said. He was stubborn as fuck and Shaira could not help but get frustrated.
"If that's what you want."
Shaira said as she left there with an ache in heart. Her ice cold heart had finally felt something cracking through her. It was her walls or her principles she doesn't know but only four months left in her graduation. She was sure she would be out of there by hook or by crook.
The last thing she wanted is to involve some dreadful emotions admist of chaos to fuel up the already raging fire.
She looked at her ticket to finaleand the invitation for the family in Grand Prix hall. The most prestigious hall in music history. She decided to give it to her Daniel and family. They deserved it more than anyone to come and see at the place. She could imagine Aunt Vanessa smiling and clapping before she could even step on the stage. She always did that for her concerts.
She swiftly put the invitation in her bag.
She could not wait to see her reaction.
