Cassian's Empire Sextuplets Chapter 10
Esme...The case had been scheduled for the day after, and as much as the shreds of evidence weren't ready, there was no evidence.The couple had planned to make the deceased fall from the building and sustain injuries that'd get him enough compensation to pay their son's medical bills, and he hadn't looked downward when he jumped not noticing the woodcutter beneath the ground which unalive him at the moment.It was the only logical explanation and Rita who sat opposite me widened her eyes in awe of how I made the explanations." I'm sure we'd win the case", she said and I nodded. We had to.The next day, I donned an all-black dress together with a black heel to court.All the families of the plaintiff were seated including the dying son.A triumphant smile played on her face and she once again took a ridiculing glance at me.Everyone else did what she did as well, looked at me like an amateur, too young to represent the Ergo and how the Ergo was losing its value, but all that soon ch

Reagan" I suppose you're outside for a much important meeting," I asked trying to divert his attention from staring too much at my body." I came to see the deceased son," he said setting his back against the backrest of the chair." Oh," I replied, unsure of what else to say anymore.According to the judge, the deceased wife would be the one to pay a fine for the involvement of crime and defamation of Mr Todd's company.I was supposed to pity her and although faster, I already had plans to pay his medical bills anonymously." Why'd you do it," I asked." Because Esme, if a Father was willing to throw himself from stories of building to get compensation so he'd be able to foot the bills of his son, he was a good father," He said while looking up at me." And his wife, although she was greedy, I understood her point and why she didn't want to back out of the case, that was why I paid, they're being left alone without a father and a husband." He said again, while a waitress walked towa

Esme..." Are you alright?" he asked and I nodded. An explicable feeling washed over me." Let go of the gun Esmeralda," he said and as much as I hated being called in full, now wasn't the time to do the corrections." You've to promise you won't shoot," I said holding on tighter.One of the most foolish things to do is bargain with a man like Todd, but there was no choice, if I didn't, this man would be six feet dead already." Alright," he said and I slowly released my grip from the gun." Break some more bones," he said afterward, and another series of nine crushing sounds filled the already still air." Let's leave," he said and held my hand away from the table, while I held Rita's with me." I can drive home myself, Mr Todd. I've my car with me," I said as we walked away." I'll have your car sent to your house. Rita will be sent home too," he said giving no chance for a response before he held me away.I trotted behind him and when we got to the car, he lifted me into the car wi

Todd's POV...Esme Ames. When I first heard her name, I thought it'd be too bad if such a beautiful name was born by an average ugly person and then she came into sight.Black pants, shirt, and heels, the only contrast in what she wore was the colour of her long wavy hair and the colour of her eyes." Mr. Todd," she called as soon as she walked closer. She extended her hand out for a handshake." I'm Esme," she said and smiled. I could have sworn that it was the most beautiful smile I'd ever seen on anyone's face." Esmeralda," I said and she almost flinched Before she corrected."Esme," and I smiled before she sat back down while her boss briefed her about the case.She listened with rapt attention and then turned to leave the office at the end of the discussion." I hope to see you more," I said and shook her hands, letting its warmth seep into mine.As a corporate business owner, a Mafia Lord, and a lot of other titles, I knew thinking and having constant thoughts about her would d

Reagan" No one dares Esme," he said and I looked up at him in frustration. His figure towered above me and I shifted backward to increase the space between us." I apologize for the impromptu visit, it won't happen again," he said and I stood, puzzled at his words.Perhaps the way he let himself be seen by me was what gave me the guts to think I could address him however I wanted.I closed my eyes and pressed down a calming breath before opening them to talk to him." You are no ordinary, man Mr Todd, and you going all around, yesterday night, today is not safe for you," I voiced, trying to make him understand my point of concern." Esme," he called and I gave no response." When you have a case, Mr. Todd, I'll respond to you accurately, there are many possible ways for you to send a message to check on me, but coming all the way to Ergo is a bit out of line," I said and watched as his demeanor changed." I didn't think about the inconvenience it would cause you," he said." I'll tak

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
