"We found your employees, except one" the sherif of Nashville informed Leo, who just arrived in Nashville. He reached Nashville in a record time, breaking all the traffic rules. He is currently on his way up the hill to Tumbleweed's mansion. "What do you mean by except one? Who is that one person who is missing?" Leo inquired in a tone that held a edge of sharpness to it. The sheriff looked at both the lists of names he was holding. He compared both the lists. One he received from the Ashford group and the other which his subordinates drafted based on the people they found. "There is one Esme Carson who seems to be missing. We are trying to find her. All of your employees are unconscious. We moved them to a nearby hospital. Unless they wake up, we cannot say what exactly happened here.." the Sheriff was explaining, not realizing the deathly silence from Leo's end. "Esme is missing?" Leo cut the sheriff off midway. The sheriff gulped audibly. Even he noticed the sudden shift in

Esme woke up gasping for breath. She is clutching her throat as if trying to help herself from someone who is trying to choke her. "Hey, What happened? Are you alright?" Leo Sat up with concern. He turned on the lights and offered her a glass of water from the bedside table. Esme sat up beside him and gulped down the water in one go. She looked pale and troubled. "I dreamed of that women. She was trying to choke me again" she shared. Leo became stiff. His shoulders became tensed. They left Nashville. But the doctors advised that she needed rest as she was traumatized. They are back in his penthouse as he doesn't want Sebastian to find out about this incident. It will only stress him out, which is not good for his health. "Essie, I think you are stressed. I know what you suffered last night is not simple. That must be the reason why you are feeling restless. Try to relax ok?" he murmured softly, trying to calm her down. She nodded her head mutely while rubbing her chest where

"Auction?" Russell almost forgot about the auction. This is an auction for antiques. These are the antiques that cost millions. Because of the material that was used in making them, or because of its origin. Furniture, vases, jewelry, paintings, this auction features them all. There are a total of 38 antiques that are being auctioned tomorrow. As they are in the interiors design business, few rich clients would request these antiques for a high price. So that means profits. "Yes, did you not pretended to save that Esme when you were trying to stop Chris last week. The Ashford's are attending this auction as well. I heard Leo Ashford is bringing Esme as his plus one. If you could make Esme help you, then we can get all the pieces we had our eyes on for lesser price. Only the Wright's, Browns and the Ashford's could raise the price. Wright's are still recovering from the blow they received from Leo. I heard the Browns are not very keen on this auction. That would leave only the Ashfor

In Silverstone central prison, "Mom, you mentioned that Esme lost her memories of what happened that day. But looks like she regained them again. Yesterday..." Nicole explained the incident where Esme was scared the other day. Julie smirked. "Oh, so she regained her memories? I wonder how much she regained. Did she remembered that her mother was raped by her boyfriend and she fled from her hometown? Or did she remembered how Mona became David's neighbor and how he assistanted her during Esme's birth? Or the fact that it's precisely because of Esme that David decided to marry Mona? He grow so fond of that little bitch, that he married Mona and refused to give birth to a child of his own fearing that he might become partial towards his own flesh and blood. If not for the existence of this bitch, David wouldn't have married Mona. He wouldn't have abandoned me. This Esme should suffer as much as I did" Julie fumed remembering the past. Nicole is stunned to learn the entire truth o

The next morning in the Ashford residence, a loud knock on the door woke up Esme from her deep slumber. She was so exhausted last night, that she didn't wake up as early as she used to. "Esme? Are you ready? Its getting late for work" Noah called out from outside. Esme's eyes turned wide when she noticed the time on the bedside table. Its 8 am, and she was supposed to wake up at 6. Leo is still in the room lying beside her, and they both are naked. "Tell him that you have a meeting today elsewhere and you will go back to work at noon" Leo murmured from beside her. She recited as she was told to. "A meeting? With mr. Tumbleweed? Ya, I heard about it too. Alright, I will meet you back in the Ashford group" Noah replied before he walked away. His steps echoed outside her room. After he left, she turned away from Leo, feeling shy. He chuckled at her reaction. "You have seen everything of me too, but I am not shy. Then why are you?" he teased her. She blushed at his words. He pin
