Esme...My eyes went around the room, from the expression on Mr Kim's face to Mr. Van and then back to Mr Todd's." I'm sure Mr Kim gets the point Mr Todd is trying to make," I said trying to ease the tension already built up in the room diplomatically before it led to another person being unalived." I'll walk you out of the office," Mr Van added trying to maintain animosity between the two men in the office.Mr Kim wanted to hesitate at first, his ego was on the line after being humiliated in front of two people.But it seemed his life was more important to him than his ego, he nodded and let himself be led out by Mr Van.I closed my eyes and heaved a sigh of relief at his exit while taking mr Todd's hand off my hair.I had many questions to ask about why he had gone back to shoot the man and spared the other but I knew he wasn't obliged to, so I kept quiet about it." What? I'm not here for you," he said while shrugging his shoulder as if afraid of me complaining about him coming
EsmeMy heart raced when Rita mentioned asking Mr. Todd, I knew he'd without a doubt. But indebtedness happens from there and about being his, I never think I'll.Rita and I finished work for the day and both headed home while I made sure I was taking extra caution of Mr. Vans' warning. I was typically living in fear.The first night passed And I heaved a sigh when nothing happened.Rita's face was filled with worry when I saw her the next day and she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw me Hale and hearty the next day."Thank goodness. I was so worried about you that I could barely sleep the entire night," she said holding my face in her hands.I smiled mildly before walking to my office to continue work.I'd thought that Mr. Kim only made his threat to save his face until…I finished the last drink with Rita after a successful case and was heading back home when I drove past a dark Alley.I knew something was up when the car came to a halt after hitting a nail.I took my phone out t
Esme I sat resting my back against the backboard of the bed, staring wide-eyed at her. " You what Rita," I asked. " I put Mr. Todd's and my number as your emergency number," she said again, spelling every word out for me. " Why?" I asked, to no reply. She rolled her eyes at me instead and gave no response to my words. "Rita, please," I said holding her hands in mine. " Because Esme, you needed it. If I hadn't done that you'd never have been saved, not even the police could find you in time," she said as softly as she could. " But Rit-" I wanted to say when she cut me short. " There's no 'but' Esme. I know I might have done it without your consent, and how rude that is but I don't regret it one bit," she said and shook her head. " Because for you Esme, I'd do anything, even if it means kneeling in front of Italy number 1 to protect you, not that we'd ever need them, but if the need ever arises, trust that I'd do it, for you," she said looking at me in the eye. There wasn't e
EsmeThe door was opened and Mr Todd walked into the room, watching the News being reported on TV, he said nothing and sat down while Rita changed the channel to another before sitting back down.She took her portion of food while I took mine and we both ate in silence, taking glances at the man in the room.The doctor walked into the room and did another round of checkups before announcing that I could go home." That's good doctor," I said and moved to get down from the bed." Doc, are you sure she can go home, you said it'd take at least three days, it's barely been even one," Rita piqued in."She's fine, and she can go home," the doctor replied and as I stood up from the bed, Mr Todd called back." She'll stay till tomorrow morning, it's the weekend by the way," he said to the already discombobulated doctor." Alright Mr Todd," he said and walked out as fast as he could." I want to go home, the smell of the hospital is making me sick," I said in an attempt to buy my way out from
ReaganHis hands rubbed my hair affectionately before he pulled me into a hug.Rita ran outside to the bodies of the men sprawled dead on the ground and me in Mr Todd's arms." I'll be back," he said facing Rita." I need you to take care of yourselves, call me if anything happens, he said Before placing a kiss on my forehead and turning to leave.I walked back into the House with Rita, both of us silent until we got into the house.The door was locked, and I walked into the bathroom while Rita did the same as well.We settled down in our respective rooms, too tired to bring anything up to talk about and both overwhelmed by the turns of events. ...................The soft ding of the door being opened woke me up from sleep, Rita had left and had stopped a note before leaving and I walked to the door to Mr Todd at the door."Esme," he called as soon as our eyes met and I looked at his figure.He had changed into a new set of home clothes, one that I'd never imagined seeing him i
Reagan I'd begun work the following week and I'd been dealing with a lot of cases. The thought of these men in the scene of all these acts of violence sent a shiver to my spine as Rita walked in with her another case file. " The clients are waiting down for you and their time starts now," she said and I held my head in fatigue. " Are you okay," she asked walking closer to where I was. " I'm just having a slight headache," I replied, while I stood up to meet the clients. " I'll get you pain relieves from the store downstairs," Rita said after me. I thanked her and headed on out to meet the clients. By the time I was done, Rita was waiting for me with the drugs in her hands. I took them from her hands and went back to the office to take the drugs before I fell asleep. ................................. A month later I walked out of the courtroom after the verdict of the last case was delivered with Rita after me. " Are you sure you do not need to go to the hospital Esme
EsmePower was good, I reconfirmed that when the management of the hospital all stood in front of the large board room, waiting for me.Rita had briefed Todd about what had happened from the hospital and he was not left out of the shock." You mean she's carrying six whole babies!" he asked while Rita nodded in response." If it gets out or it's let out to the news you'll be a hit," he said and I nodded, 'a hit' I didn't want that, that was why I needed to talk with the hospital's board of management.Todd walked beside me with Rita as we all headed into the meeting room.I sat up from the position I was and looked at all of them before clearing my throat to speak up."I'm Esme Ames, the leading lawyer of Ergo, and I've no other reason to call you all here than to make you sign an agreement," I said taking account of how their demeanor changed at the mention of the leading lawyer of Ergo." I'm currently eight weeks pregnant and in some months I'll be delivering my babies," I said enu
Cassians's POVThe secretary knocked on the door to my office, there was the bell, but because he'd thought that the loud sound of the bell might distract me, he chose to knock instead."You have a call, Mr Cassian," he said and walked in his hand a phone towards me." Good day Mr Cassian," the voice said timidly from over the phone.I replied with a grunt while I continued to look through the papers in front of me." This is from the hotel you came to some months ago and we are calling to make sure that all is fine, one of our employees after cleaning the room, reported that there were blood stains on the bed, which could be a sign of bodily harm," he said and gulped in heavily.I tried to recollect where and when before the memories of a girl came to my mind.However I'd not secured any injuries, neither did she." Why haven't you called since all this while," I asked." Because... Mr Cassian, we've nothing to say than to offer you our sincere apologies," he said again and I replie
