Cassian's Empire Sextuplets Chapter 14
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

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

EsmeTodd stood beside his car, looking even more devastating than usual with a black tuxedo, his perfectly wavy hair, and his clean-shaven face.He could pass as a movie star on his way to the Oscars." Princess," Todd called as I walked down from the office terrace into his car." I know that you did well today," he said with a kiss on my lips.A tingle of surprise spread across my skin, mixed with curiosity at the white box in his hands before he slid it into his pocket.There was in the car, a pale blue rectangular box, large sized, tied with a silky bow that covered its logo.“Do not be distracted by its beauty,” I said in an internal soliloquy."I'll take you home to get dressed, I've gotten everything you need and if I haven't told me, I'll get it done for you," he'd said." I trust you," I replied with a smile and nestled closer into his body while the driver drove off.A hairstylist was in the room, I was sure I'd seen her somewhere on a billboard or magazine, but couldn't re

ToddThe thoughts of Esme telling me she loved me too, kept recurring in my mind.And when I asked if she'd marry me, she fucking said Yes.I realized that I looked at her as though she was the first person from whom I knew what love was.I'd die for her, and for me she would do same. To live and make sure I never fail was my life's motto but now it was to make sure I lived for Esme Ames, to give her the love we both never got.The driver ignited the car and drove back to the office, and I met Adam already waiting for me at the door." How's it going? where's he? I asked settling down."We've located where he is and we've kept tabs on his every move, however, we're refraining from letting him know that we know where he is, he's also making some small moves, to attack..."" What color do you think would fit Esme the best," I asked abruptly." Um Mr. Todd," he struggled to speak as he ran his hand through his hair."Never mind, I'm going to get her dressed for the fundraising, stay her

EsmeHe scrambled over to where I was. Holding my legs in his hands, he placed them on his thighs and held his hands around them." Here," he said as he massaged. I nodded my head incoherently as he worked his hands on them." Sorry butterfly," he drew me in and kissed my forehead before laying me back on the bed." How's it?" he asked." Better. How did you learn how to do those? Don't tell me you learned it during boring meetings," I said with a teasing chuckle." No It wasn't during Boring meetings, I created time for it, I met the doctor and he told me that cramps aren't inevitable, so I did learn for you," he answered and I stared amazed by his words." I'm sure you'll make a good dad someday," his head jerked at my words." I'll make their good dad, out babies, I'll make their good dad and you'll make the best mother," he corrected.I nodded and smiled at his words stretching my arms out for a hug.His face formed into a crescent smile as he took in and carried me off the bed."

EsmeI finished my session with the last client of the day and stood to work out of the office to my car.Rita had left with Adam after she was done rambling to me about how her wish of having two hot men to deliver food by her door." Paying in kind." Was what she tagged as her mode of payment.I laughed it off with a wave of my hands and sent her out of my office since she kept talking about Adam." Pshh, as if you and Mr. Todd aren't the same. I've seen the way he looks at you. it's as though he'd kill anyone who dares to stare longer than 3 seconds at you," she continued.I shook my head in rebuttal to her words and pushed her out of my office." I'm sleeping over at Todd's," I told her and was met with an eye roll." You're dating right, he's officially yours and you're his now," he squealed with my nod to her question." Future Mrs. Todd, I'll be your bride of honor Right, you're not allowed to have anyone and you'll throw the rose at me and the next weekend, Adam and I will get

Rita" I'm sorry, I should have known better, you can go in. And Rita…" he paused before continuing. “Meet me in my office.”I stifled a laugh at how she walked behind him.He must have thought he was dealing with amateurs, I could only imagine what would happen to him at the end of all this.The Todd I knew, if he didn't unalive him, his situation would be much worse than to be dead.The thought of Adam struck. He was really done for.I shrugged nonchalantly and walked into my office. Piled on the table were files of different cases." It is going to be a long day," I muttered to myself, settling down.The first of Mr Van's clients knocked on the door before opening the door.I welcomed him with a smile and at the end of his session I wondered if he really amassed his wealth with the little way he thinks." I'll have your case file sent over to the lawyer who will represent you in court," I lifted my brows at his startled expression as he stood up." No. No. No. No! That cannot happ

EsmeI was halfway through sleep when Rita's knock came on the door." Here's Adam's food," she said dropping the food beside me,“ I'll be off.”I slipped down from the bed, hungry, and walked to the food, there was it, Rita's favorite food.I picked up the spoon to eat when my phone rang." Todd," I muttered to myself, before picking it up." Hey amor, how're you," he asked, placing the phone to stand, I switched to video to show him the mood Adam made." It's nice isn't it?" I asked and he replied with a nod." I'm getting Rita's documents and evidence almost ready, I'll have them sent over in some days to your office and while we do that, do you mind going to a fundraising party with me," he asked, staring at me." When is it," my breath hitched for a brief moment when I thought about going out with Todd.That'd be a first, we've never had a chance to go public except for the court case." Esme Ames, it isn't safe to fall in love with him," I soliloquized and shook my head." Butt

Rita...I held the phone in my hand, sobbing into it. I couldn't go to Esme, to talk about it, and I could only sit in fear.The door was opened and I felt my body quiver before recollecting that Adam was on his way.I sat still, unable to move until he opened the door, and walked towards me" Hey," he called as soon as he settled into the room." I'm here," he said, holding my tear-filled face in his palm.I burst into tears, my body quivering at the thought of what had just happened.He rubbed his hands on my back soothingly, until I ran out of tears." What did he say?" he asked looking into my eyes.I shook my head, unable to repeat what I'd heard, instead, I handed him my phone and blocked out my ears from listening to it." I'll get him before you before dusk," he said and I shook my head in refusal." It'll ruin what Esme has planned, I trust you all and he probably thinks he's got it all, he thinks he's got the upper hand, and going after him will only boost his confidence," I

Rita" Are you sure you want us to do this?" he asked, as I pressed myself further on his body." I like you, you like me, there's nothing stopping us," I said." I don't like you Ri, I love you," he corrected and I smiled in return." We'll do that some other time, you're not feeling okay, and it's too early to set up a relationship on intimacy, I want you and you know that, he said and I nodded." Come, I'll put you to sleep, you've stared at me long enough," he added and I rolled down beside him, wrapping my hands to his waist, as much as its length could take me." Cara," he called and I looked up at him." What'd you plan to do with Zander," he asked and I looked up at him." Esme said to leave it up to her," I replied and snuggled closer." Let me know if you want anything done," he said and I nodded still in his embrace, nestling closer until I fell asleep.

Rita I stared across the room, at the man sitting a few meters away from me. " Adam," I called and he gave no response. I'd probably called him about a billion times today. I'd been fretting my sanity out since Mr Todd called to tell me that Esme was staying over with him for the night. The adrenaline-driven action I did a few days ago by breaking a man's hands came rushing back to my head and I thought about what it'd be like if he came to take revenge on me, I'd be dead before I could even throw a punch, no doubt. " Don't worry, I know you're worried about what might happen, so I sent Adam, he'll be spending the night with you," he said and I calmed my erratic mind, still to no avail, how was I supposed to sleep knowing that a man who looks more or less like Achilles was awake looking up me. If it had been another, that'd have been great but with him, he
