I am afraid my heart would stop beating being so close to you. ~Esther I am afraid my heart would stop beating without kissing you. ~Cyrus

Ch-227

"I want to spend my time with you," Esther said. She realized she couldn't escape his trap. Esther could only fall into that trap. Instead of running away from his trap, she chose to jump in. She smirked when Cyrus stilled in his place at her bold admission. 

Cyrus felt like a feather was tickling his numbed heart. He never thought Esther would admit that directly. In the past few days, he noticed that she was opening up to him. Cyrus was happy that she was giving an opening to him. With her presence in his life, his blank canvas-like life turned colorful. A smile formed on his lips. 

"Really?" he asked after he recovered from his stupor. 

"Yes," she replied, burying her face in his neck standing on her tiptoes.
