Chapter 197 - King Of Basilisk, Personal Love Diary

Ch-196

Nicholas, who stood not long away from the room, heard every word said by her. He realized he was a fool to ask for her chance when he did these many things. 

She was right. He never showed his love to her, he did things when he was asked to do. No wonder, Esther said to him, what did she deserve to be treated like this? Now, he got the meaning. Michelle has everything but she could only see them and cannot feel or experience that love. And her wishes were fulfilled by Esther only. Now… if he wants to take good care of Michelle, he has to make a place. Like how a single Algae cell mutates into a hundred times more in a certain period. In the same way, he would make her recognize his love in her heart and would make her fall for him deeply without her knowledge. 

With determination, he walked and sat at the table where Michelle and he sat earlier as he tried to act he heard nothing. 

Both Mr.Felix and Michelle walked out as if nothing happened. Mr. Felix left after nodding his head towards Nicholas. He wasn't that kind as he was when he was earlier. Michelle became even colder towards him. He encouraged himself as he said to himself, [You needed to work hard!] 

He drove the car to Vritra groups. When they saw no one, Michelle directly barged into the CEO's room, shocking the people inside it as again. 

"Where is Esther?" she asked him like a debtor. And that moment, Cyrus looked like a person who took from her and wasn't able to return her money. 

"LEft!" he said as his eyes fell on the book. 

"Can I have a look at that book?" he asked, shocking her again. 

Before she could say no walked forward towards her and took the book from her hand. The others in the room sensed that something was changing in the office and they knew the temper of their CEO. So… they tactfully slipped away leaving the poor Michelle alone.  After reading the first page of the book, he smiled and went to his table. He opened the drawers and took out a book. "Give this book to her too," he said as he handed both books to her. 

"Nope!" she said as she tried to take one book. 

"New antiques are found in the southern forest of Livonia. If you don't want to go there, give this book to her. If not… you know it," He said. 

Michelle knew that was a dangerous forest. No one goes there. Her father wanted to go there personally but was stopped by her. Why will she go there? She took the book with a humph and left. She was dropped by Nicholas again. 

She breathlessly ran to the office when she realized Esther left her in Vritra groups. Michelle wondered if Esther was angry. She ran breathlessly and handed the two books. She realized Esther was leaving.

On the other side… 

Esther went to her room and took the two books. Esther wondered whether she should read or not. She opened the book which was given by Michelle. Esther was shocked to see the writer as Bhairava. 

The first page was filled with her painting from her previous life when she draped a black and gold saree. She looked like a goddess. "I saw her bathing in the silvery moonlight while she draped the saree of colors and night and shining sun, showing the true contrast of nature. I saw her performing pooja like a patriarch of the family," the words said. There were few things about the festival that she was celebrating. 

The next page has another painting but in Red Saree. But she saw some words about her beauty. She liked it when he praised her beauty. She felt like the woman who painted in the book was her. 

She took out her phone and dialed Michelle's number, "Hello," she greeted. 

"Esther," she called. 

"This book? Why does it look like someone's diary?"  she asked. 

"Oh… that! Because it is indeed a diary of a king. It is said that the King of Basilisk liked the woman in the book but she liked another man. By the time she realized the King of Basilisk was good to her. She was killed by her precious lover along with the kid in the stomach. 

"As for this dairy, I gave it to you, to notice their draping and the way she behaved and her jewelry," Michelle said. 

"How do you know this story?" she asked. 

"My dad said. He heard from his grandfather," Michelle replied. 

"You know what? It was said that the king Bhairav was still alive. And is waiting for the rebirth of his lover from the past two hundred and twenty years," Michelle said as she laughed out loud. 

"Such bullshit. Who would believe it?" Michelle added as she laughed out loud. 

Esther's eyes widened in shock as she heard her words. She couldn't say that she was talking about her and Cyrus. 

"Okay! I am reading the rest. I am hanging up," Michelle said as she felt her heart hammering inside her ribcage. 

Michelle bid her goodbye and hung the call. 

Since the book was filled with paintings, it's easy for her to read it in a short time. 

When she was going through them, she was shocked to see a painting in them. It's a painting where they both wore white clothes in the temple. This was the same painting she drew in her office a few days ago. It was the same painting, Nicholas tried to take a photo of it. No wonder he acted so sneaky and did things. She felt like her head was spinning. A splitting pain started taking control over her head. She fell on the bed as she turned unconscious. 

At that second, the wall of her room split into two revealing a man in traditional and royal Dravidian wear.. He walked towards Esther with a meaningful smile.
