Chapter 446
Snowflakes
I have only prayed a few times in my life, and I silently added one more the moment I heard Pinky’s words, wishing the floor would open and swallow me whole.
Never have my bones felt weaker than they did hearing her. The truth behind it, the intention beneath it, tore through me, and I lowered my gaze, heart slamming violently in my chest.
Of all my brothers’ relationships, I know how much Eshan worked to win Pinky. The years he spent courting her, the battles he fought with Lady Glitters before she finally accepted him, before their relationship became official, before Pinky Pie was acknowledged as Eshan Frost’s woman.
They have been together for as long as I can remember, long before I ever married and now this? Will they break because of me?
I know Pinky’s rebellion won’t solve anything. It will only worsen the situation. Without her mother’s blessing, Eshan won’t fight dirty or force anything. My brothers live and breathe honor. Frost men don’t take what isn’t given.
“Pinky…”
“I am not going back home if that’s what you’re thinking, Eshan. I’m not listening to anything you have to say!” she snapped, cutting him off before he could breathe.
Her raised voice stirred Father awake. We froze when we heard his door open and close. Then he appeared, standing at the hallway entrance, eyes landing instantly on Pinky’s bag.
He didn’t need explanations. He already understood everything. His gaze settled on Eshan, who slowly turned back to Pinky.
“What exactly did your mother say? Did she explicitly tell you she doesn’t want me for you?”
“She kept talking about how this… this rumor will affect us. She… she said that when Kashi was arrested it made her lose millions…”
“Point of correction. Kashi wasn’t arrested. He was taken in for questioning,” Mirena interjected, calm but sharp, tightening the tension even more.
I bit my lower lip at the weight in the air, before Father exhaled, and both women bowed their heads slightly as if apologizing for the clash.
Father walked to the couch, sat, and picked up the remote. He switched on the TV before speaking to Eshan.
“Call Glitters. Apologize. Tell her this won’t repeat itself. Show accountability and she will overlook this news and allow us a second chance.”
Eshan sighed and nodded. He turned to Pinky.
“I will call your mom and explain things to her.”
“Eshan…”
“And you will stay silent. I don’t want to hear another word until I have spoken to my mother- in-law.”
He cut her off and walked into his room for his phone. We waited. Minutes crawled.
Finally, he returned dressed, car keys in hand.
“She wants us to meet,” he announced, stepping toward Pinky to kiss her hurriedly. “You aren’t going anywhere. I’ll fix this. Okay?”
She nodded, though terror lived openly in her eyes.
“Okay.”
He walked past me, moving toward the door. I stood frozen until my body moved on impulse.
I rushed after him, reaching him just as he opened his car door. He stopped when he saw me coming. I gripped his hand, heart pounding.
“You should… Eshan, you should tell her I’m a Mooncrester and… and not really a Frost. That way she might…”
“You are a Frost,” he whispered, gesturing me back inside. “Don’t stand in the cold. You’re barefoot.”
