Cassian's Empire Sextuplets Chapter 25
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

EsmeI sometimes wondered how Rita was able to get her hands on any kind of information, or evidence within a short period.After Todd had left, I'd called her into the office to discuss the case at hand with her and she said she'd provide the pieces of evidence soon.She'd gotten them placed on my table at the end of the day." That was incredibly fast Rita, how'd you manage to do that," I asked." I've my sources, inside information is the best so you've to work your way through people and their defenses," she smiled while handing them over to me." It seems like the Kim's are bent on ending their lifeline," I sighed before saying." They're hellbent on taking revenge for what has been done to Mr Kim, he isn't dead but they're thinking of inducing his death, he's been paralyzed since the incident and they've been bitter," she said and I nodded while going through the files." And the secretary, how long has she been working for Todd," I asked." It's not definite but it's about 3 ye

Esme"Miss Esme, I..I..I'm sorry, but can you please spare me," he pleaded with his hand shaking at the steering wheel."I have a family and my kids would have to be orphans if anything were to happen to me," he begged."I have a family too you know, when you came to the car lot, I already knew that you weren't from Todd, but I complied with you, without complaints, do you know why? because I'm pregnant with six fucking babies and I couldn't put them in danger, I've Rita with me as well and I chose to follow you, I wasn't stupid, I had them to live for," I retorted." Don't stress Esme, he isn't worth it," Rita said holding my hand in hers." You could have told me from the onset and whatever had brought you here, you Instead continued to lead me on, to the prey of those evil men, and do what, get me killed!" I yelled at his face, infuriated at the sudden turn of events." You weren't forced were you, your family wasn't put in danger were they?" I asked and he nodded with tears drool

Esme The scream of the man in the warehouse from the distance came into my hearing until a gunshot was heard. " Fuck, use a silent gun will you, I've got the woman I like back there," Todd's voice came from inside. I felt relieved, he wasn't the one shot, the soft wheezing of the bullet sounded again and I knew it was him who shot the gun . The screams from the men continued and stopped after a while, with Todd walking out and dragging a man by his collar. He smiled as though he could see inside the car as he dragged the body of the man closer. "No no no no no, this cannot be happening," I mumbled to myself, after noticing the frail body of a man in the distance cocking his gun to shoot at him. His words replayed in my head, his incessant warning not to get out of the car but there was no way I'd watch and let him be shot. " What are you doing Esme," Rita asked on seeing me open the car door. " I've no time to explain, I said hurriedly opening the car door into the hand of

Todd " Mr. Todd," the guard beside me called, pulling my attention to the buzz of the phone opposite me. " Let it be, it can't be anything urgent," I said and went back to reading the files of the company's new merger. The secretary had come in, still with the pen in her hand, she was unaware of the fact that she had been busted. " Good day sir," she greeted and I nodded in response. " Is there anything you'd like me or want me to do for you," she asked standing in front of me. I gave no reply to her words and Instead let her stand until I was ready to let her go. Let her punishment for intentionally betraying and being a spy on me come early. "If there's nothing I can do at the moment, how about I come back some time later," she said and turned to leave. " I didn't say you could leave, stay and stand, I'll let you know what I want," I said and she stood appalled, but dared not to say anything. Getting rid of her was my ultimate want but Esme's word came into remembrance. "

EsmeRita and I were discharged after a few tests, under the insistence of Todd." I'm fine, I'm fine, I don't have to go through any tests," I argued." It's not like you're being administered drugs or about to be Injected, just a full body checkup will do," he retorted." Why, it's not like I'm sick," I said back tugging his hand off mine." No one Esme, I mean no one cries all of a sudden." He said making me roll my eyes at him." You yelled at me remember," I retorted and he sat beside me, cooing me to have the test done.The tense doctor stared in surprise at this side of Todd, it had never happened, no one in the entirety of Italy could get a smile out of him.He was more known for his ruthlessness and his reputation as the biggest corporation in Italy.And here he was, exchanging words with a woman smiling as well." Have the test done and make sure nothing happens to her, if there's a single scratch on her body, you can trust to have your skin scrapped from your body." He sai

Esme I went into the bathroom to take a bath, sitting Inside the bathtub, I let my body relax and let the warmth of the water seep into my body. Rita and I had fallen into our respective rooms for the night's rest, the day had been long and we had a strenuous day ahead of us tomorrow. The next day I left home earlier than Rita the next day, Mr Van had called to inform me of the arrival of a client. I'd gotten to work in a rush and hours had passed but I was still with his client, not that I cared, my fee increased by the minute. " Mr Zanders," I called clasping my hands together. " You claim to not be involved in this accusation leveled against you right?" I asked and he nodded. " I need you to tell me the truth, I'm a lawyer and whether or not you committed the crime, I'm only left with the job of acquitting you," I urged. " If you don't tell me the truth, this could become tricky and could be used against us in court, I just need you to tell me the truth, my secretary will

Esme " Are you okay?" he asked as he got close enough, with his hand stroking my hair. " Ye..yes I am," I replied and he nodded, taking my hands to walk inside the court. " Mr Todd, what is your relationship with her? Sources have said that you both have been seen together in public many times. Is this just a lawyer-client relationship or there's more to it?" a male reporter asked. I turned to look at him, unsure of whether or not to give a response. However, his persistence was aimed at something else as he continued asking questions that were out of thought. " Are you both in a relationship, Esme Lost consciousness the last time she came to court, could it be abuse or pressure from Todd," another asked. Todd stopped in his tracks, while the elated reporter came running in expectancy of him answering her questions. He picked up the name tag on her chest, reading the name before saying. " Ashley Johnson, under the most basic human right, right to press, protection of mental h

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
