Cassian's Empire Sextuplets Chapter 32
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

Esme My phone rang and I walked to pick it up, to strings of unknown numbers. " Hi Esme," the voice said. " This is Zanders. I hope I'm not intruding," he said again. " No you aren't, I'll be there in a while," I said before hanging up. "Rita," I called when I was done dressing. Not too elaborate, I was wearing a jean, a big T-shirt, and a sneaker, it wasn't like I was there to make an impression it was infact the opposite, I needed him to back off from any sort of thought he was having about me. " Daamnn! Why'd you wear the same outfit as I am," Rita exclaimed on walking out of her room. I took a look at her outfit, and it had Indeed taken me by surprise. " Did you by chance stare at me while I was dressing up?” I asked raising my brows. " Pfft. I didn't even leave my room at all. You're the one who's been leaving," she retorted. " I only dressed this way because I was the third party and I couldn't dress too well," she defended herself. " Whatever," I replied and took the

Rita I'd thought I'd be able to keep up with hiding the hatred I had against the Zanders. From the moment I'd been assigned to go through his case file and source for the evidence to acquit him, the murderous intent of having him shot kept going in my mind. I thought I'd seen the last of him when the case was over until he asked Esme out for dinner, as much as I hated him, letting Esme go out with him alone was out of the question. I got home and submerged myself in the water. The gruesome memory of what had happened and what he had done kept replaying. ......................... " Mr. Zanders, please," I pleaded to no avail, my Father's already battered body was still being beaten so much that the flesh of his body scraped off with each lash of the belt. " I'll take the cane for him,please spare him! He's innocent!" I screamed again, attempting to free myself from the hand of the guards who wouldn't let me go. And he had breathed his last, the last strip of the belt had torn

RitaThe door was opened by Mr. Zanders and he was shocked to the core at the sight of the bodies in the room.And it had taken a lot of luck not to get burnt in the room as he lit a match and threw it into the room, while he made his escape, I watched the body of my parent be burnt in the pyre he set ablaze.Grandma had brought me up after we escaped Germany and absconded to Italy, the years had passed by and her health was deteriorating, I naturally had to step up and be the breadwinner of the family until Mr Todd settled everything for me.And when he had tried to get close to Esme, it was only a matter of time before I killed him myself, I decided until I wasn't able to take it anymore, the sound of his screams sounded nothing to the way my parents had begged him to believe them.Years had passed and he must have done so much evil that he couldn't recognize me, but I could, the scar of the cut I'd given him was still there and so was the scar of the knife that plunged into my skin

EsmeI thought I had it worst in life until I listened to Rita's Story, real-life murder, mutilation, abuse, and rape. I thought I'd seen the worst.I picked up my phone and put a call through to Todd, Rita would have been the perfect person to source our the evidence of his crimes but I wanted it to be a surprise." I'll handle it, Esme," Todd said from over the phone, he's already being treated at the hospital, I want to give him the illusion of freedom and when he comes to stroke for revenge, I'll break him for her," he said and I nodded." Are you okay?" he asked." Yes I'm, Rita's at home and I'm the only one here, so it's quite boring," I replied." I'll have Adam come pick you up, you don't have anything to do, do you?" he asked and I replied negative." Alright he said, take care, Poppy Min," he said before hanging up.I placed my head on the table, letting slumber take over me." Miss Esme," a knock came on the door and Adam walked in." Good day Adam," I greeted and he stoo

Esme“Peach," his voice reverberated through the room."Your secretary asked that I wait outside your office or I leave and come back later because you're in a meeting," I said and stared at the secretary who was already tuning back meek." Your finger opens the door. I'll be with you immediately," he said and I nodded." By the way what's your favorite flavor of ice cream?" I asked watching as the secretary was already beginning to get sweaty." Miss Esme," she called, and I turned back to look at her." Is there anything I can help you with," I asked raising an eyebrow." Um I didn't kn..know.. that you were close to Mr. Todd," she said almost teary-eyed." You're new, yeah? I asked and she nodded.I'd almost forgotten that the previous secretary was probably dead or somewhere in Alaska serving her life imprisonment jail term." Learn the ropes young lady, I'm not kind enough to let something like this slide by but because it's a good day and you're still learning the ropes, by the

Esme" Yes I am,” he admitted and I almost choked on the egg in my mouth." I can't believe that!" I said and tapped his shoulders lightly." Yes you can," he said and I smiled before turning back to eat." I should go back home, it's late," I said." You don't need to. I called Rita and I've told her You're with me and will not be going home tonight," he said back." Are you not busy, I'm sure you have a lot of work to do, I don't want to be a hindrance to you," I said." I've been working nonstop for more than 8 years Esme, and I'm glad you're the one I get to spend my break with," he said and rubbed his hand on my cheeks." Hey, um can I ask you what you're doing for Rita, I need to know where I can step in," I said." You trust me right?" He asked." Yes I do," I replied looking up at him." I'll let you know if there's anything you need to do," he said and held me closer to himself.His smooth, calming tone poured out into my ears, somehow sounding like the hot version of a stra

ToddSeeing Esme walk out of the bathroom in my shirt, I could swear was the most beautiful sight I'd ever seen. Her hair was packed in a messy bun, with strands of it, falling down her face, and her hands tugging down at the end of the shirt.I held my breath with each step she took, unable to take my eyes off the piece of art in front of me." Where are the pants," she asked and I broke out of the trance I'd fallen into.I stood up from the bed and walked to the closet." You can choose any one of these," I said and she nodded, rummaging through the closet until she found an old jogger of mine on top of the closet.She stood on her toes, to reach it to no avail, with my shirt moving up her thighs.I walked closer, steadying her back on her feet before taking it down for her." Here you go," I said and handed it to her before walking back to the bed.She turned backward to wear the pants while I stared at her petite body.The pants hung loosely around her waist and despite it being

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
