Zesa: Love on papers Chapter 61
ZESA RUSSO “I have a confession to make.”Eric’s full attention was on me, a hint of confusion sparkling in his green eyes as I came to stand in front of him, bouncing on my toes. I felt bad. I’d lied to him or simply did not tell him who I was. Either way, I felt awful. If Finn had kept quiet, I would have gotten to know more about this man.“I am actually Zesa Russo.” I confessed.There was silence between us for some seconds.“What?” he asked after a moment, as if he hadn’t heard what I had said.“I am Zesa Russo. I own Techya.”His eyes were blank. Their owner was alive, but it was only visible by the shallow rise and fall of their chest. Was what I said that shocking to be able to destroy him so thoroughly he didn’t even seem present in his own mind?“Eric.” I called, joggling him while Finn exhaled like a drama queen behind me.“How?” he asked, looking at Finn as though hoping he would say otherwise.“She is Zesa Russo.” Said Finn in a nonchalant tone. “Now, if you do

NINA MEYERS I wanted to scream. To yell at someone. To yank out my hair and just sit on the floor to cry. Alejandro watched me from across my room while I curled up like a ball on the bed after the bomb he’d dropped on me. He’d just told me Jaylen had leukemia and was in the hospital. I hated myself for putting myself in a situation where I couldn’t march to the hospital and demand to be by his side. It was killing me that I couldn’t hold his tiny hand and caress his face. “Did Levi have leukemia at one point?” he asked me. I didn’t need to lift my head from my knees to know he was standing beside me. “I don’t know, but I suffered from it as a child.” “That explains it.” he said, not even a trace of sympathy in his voice. “He got it from you.” I peered at him from under my lashes. “What?” “He got it from you.” he repeated. “It can sometimes be genetic.” “I didn’t know that.” “Well, now you do.” He said, eyes fixed on the vanity before him. I watched him sit down beside me on t

ZESA RUSSO My eyes were bloodshot from too many days without enough sleep, and from the weight of all I’d had taken on. I had to find time for my work and take turns to watch Jaylen during his treatment. I felt bitter and hopeless when the doctor told us that neither me nor Levi were a match. It stirred up a bit of frustration in me as I drove to the orphanage to see the kids after a long day at work. I brought with me gifts of which some were specially prepared for Celine and Christoph. By the time I arrived at the orphanage, there were some kids outside playing outside in thick layers of clothing to keep them warm. Then I glimpsed Christoph holding a ball. He grinned when he caught my eyes before disappearing into the orphanage. What was that? I got down from the car just as Juliane came out alongside two older boys. I guessed they would be around sixteen or seventeen. One had shaggy brown hair and the other one had a buzz cut. Juliane went around the car to meet me, h

ZESA RUSSOI sat across from James and his wife, whose name I’d come to learn was Sienna. It was taking every single self-restraining nerve I had to not lash out at him and eventually rip his hair out of his head. He held my murderous gaze with panicked ones, as though asking me to keep silent and not say anything about Asher and Amaris. He’d failed to gain custody of them thanks to yours truly, me, and now he was trying to adopt the two children who had a special place in my heart. I could never allow him to do that.“Is there something I’m missing?” Sienna asked, her eyes trained on the heartless snake she called her husband. She turned to me. “Do you know my husband?”“Yes. I know your husband very well.”“Zesa.” he gritted his teeth, “Be quiet.”I did not like his crusty, bitter gaze and was not afraid to tell him as much. “Don’t you ever call my name and secondly, don’t ask me to be quiet.” I focused on the worry-filled eyes of his wife. “May I ask you a question?”“By all means,

NINA MEYERS I was seated in the living room, watching an opera, when Alejandro came into the house. The little fucker had a key for himself. Unmoving, I watched him enter the house until he was right in front of me, obstructing my view of the TV. I lowered my gaze to the black suitcase in his hand and then to his face. He stared at me for a solid eight seconds without as much as a word. “Are you going to just stand there and not talk? What’s in the bag?” Evil wasn’t just in his eyes, but in the smile that curled back like a predator ready to snap. “A gun.” “A gun?” “Why, I believe I just said so.” He sat down on the coffee table. “I got it for you.” “Why would I need a gun?” “I didn’t bring you here to watch movies and eat. I brought you here because you have a lot of things to do for me. One of which includes killing Levi Del Campa.” I opened my mouth to speak, but he put out his index finger, asking me to be quiet. “And before you complain and say, ‘but he is the f

ZESA RUSSO A hard knot constricted my throat when I heard Sophia’s scream. Something was wrong. I curled my fingers around the cold metal doorknob and twisted it, praying to God that Nina hadn’t done something to Sophia. The girl was annoying as hell, but I didn’t want any harm to come her way. Who would I show off to if something bad was to happen to her?“Sophia.” I pounded my fist on the door when I realized it was locked. “Sophia!”Something was definitely wrong.“Help!” I shouted, glancing around. “Somebody, please help!” Two men who’d probably accompanied someone to the hospital came to help as well as a nurse. “Something has happened to Sophia. We need to get to her.”“Step aside.” One man said, moving backward.We obeyed, and I watched in fascination as he ran to the door. In one kick, he brought the door down. Was the door not strong enough, or was he really strong? Either way, he impressed me. I ran into Sophia’s office and went behind her desk. The sight of her b

ALEJANDRO ORTEGADISCLAIMER: Acts of abuse. A bit kinky, but yeah… just in case it makes you uncomfortable, please skip. I apologize in advance if this brings back any negative memory. Useless! Absolutely useless!I paced the apartment I’d gotten Nina, impatiently waiting for her to arrive. What was so hard about luring one man to a secluded place and getting rid of him? Absolutely nothing! But Nina fucking Meyers had to mess it up. Not only did she ruin everything. She got Sophia shot when she should have buried a bullet deep into the skull of that prick.As I waited for her, I busied myself with the bottle of whiskey I found in the kitchen. It delivered the needed burn to my throat and chest. On my third glass, the doorknob twisted and the little bitch came in, her hoodie covering her head. She froze when she saw my shoes in the doorway. Slowly, she lifted her head from my shoes to meet my heated glare.She swallowed thickly. “Alejandro,”I studied her with unforgiving ju

ALEJANDRO ORTEGA ‘19 Java Boulevard Street.’ The address of the place Levi and his son were kept hostage was sent to me about two hours after my call with Enzo. My eyes closed in restrained elation at the text. Quick and effective. Enzo was just amazing. I went over to Nina, who was now aware of her surroundings and shivering from the cold. I lifted her chin. “I have your darling Levi where I want him.” Her teeth chattered when she tried to speak. It didn’t stop her, though. “I’m c-c-cold.” “It’s your punishment.” I let go. “Try not to catch a cold.” Without a care in the world, I exited the apartment, making sure to lock the door. The drive to the abandoned house was a good forty-five minutes’ drive, but since it was past 5a.m, there wasn’t traffic. I parked in front of the house and got down. I rubbed my arms when the frosty morning air kissed my skin like a lover would. The house before must have been a home with kids in it. What could have once been a lovely rose
