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
Cassian's POVIt was all futile, I'd combed the entire country in search of Esme Ames To no avail.The secretary had gone to her step-sister, and the cheating boyfriend, but they weren't able to provide any information on her whereabouts.The secretary had reported to me the rude reception he was given by them both." Have their details sent to me, have both of them fired from wherever they work, and let them learn the hard way, ban any company from hiring them," I said and went back to being disorganized.For the first time in years, I'd never felt bad about treating Enemies, hacking, and being the No 1 of a particular organization." I'll look for her myself," I said and stood up from the office to drive home." Mr Cassian, the car key, I'll drive you home," he said while walking towards me." I'll drive myself, you can end the day's work," I said but he insisted." Leave me alone," I said this time harder almost with a growl.He gave a curt bow and turned to leave after me.I took
Todd's POVI'd known that whoever Esme had the nightstand with wasn't an ordinary man, intuition I'd call it.And if a man like me could want to protect her, to want to die for Esme.It'd take a little less time before he caught up with the truth, so I'd gone to the one place I knew he'd find her, the dark web, erased all information of Esme Ames in whatever way he thought to look for her.There was only one way which took the best of the men to do, search for her physically, across the whole world which I was sure wouldn't happen, or maybe it'd.When the doctor told her and I got to know that she was carrying six babies, I was elated at first, before my demeanor lowered back to the realization that they weren't mine, she wasn't carrying my babies.But I'd promised and even if I didn't, it'd take my death to get me away from Esme Ames, as she'd already caught my heart and soul." Mr. Todd," one of the secretaries said walking inside my office.I looked up at her, raising my brows to a
Esme I sat on the couch in the office, my legs held by Todd as he sat opposite me, rubbing his hands through my ankle. I'd been constantly nagged by him, and I had no words to refute, both Rita and him had been in my neck to stay home but I was adamant, and then the scenario at the reception had left me short of words. " I'm sorry," I muttered softly as his hands worked their way on my ankle. " Esme," he called. " I know you've told me to stay home, to rest but I just cannot stay home, I'd die of boredom, and even if there is some trouble outside, I can't just stay in," I said trying to salvage the situation. " You could have been more injured if I hadn't come in at that moment, you're pregnant Esme for goodness sake," he said rubbing tighter on my ankle. I scrunched my face in discomfort before he slowly relaxed his grip on it " I'll take more caution and make sure I take care of myself, I'll eat well and not get into fights," I rambled to him. " That's better, or else if an
