" 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

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."

    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."

    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?

    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

    Esme's..." Esmeralda," Titus voice had called from over the phone, "Esmeralda," I muttered to myself.Titus only called me that when he was up to something not good, Esme he'd call me whenever he wanted to show off to his friends that my name had the same beauty as my face.I'd called him earlier this afternoon to announce that I was done with my last paper for university. No doubt I'd pass, I'd been a straight-A student since freshman year. That added to another one of his pride." She's the perfect girlfriend," he'd say to all of them and I always blushed in his love for me until I realized I wasn't his perfect girlfriend at least to some extent.I'd waited in line for four hours to get the 'lover's cake', it was popularly said that whoever got to have a taste of it with their other half, would be together forever.Finally, I was handed my cake, inscribed on it, "Will you be my first" I could see the red blush on the baker's face seeing what I'd asked to be inscribed on it."

    Esme's...Chapter 2I walked in the rain heedless, with nowhere to go, I wandered around, too afraid to cry, afraid of what I'd break into if I let the tears welled Inside of me come rolling down.The dazzling lights of the hotel across the streets had gotten my attention, and with my situation at the moment, I had nowhere else to go but to spend my income for a month in a day."All work no play, makes Esme a dull girl" was what I held on to, I wasn't sure of living after today and what I thought would be the happiest day of my life turned out to be the worst.I walked into the hotel, not minding the lustful gazes of the men at the entrance, my drenched appearance made me more pitiful. I walked into the lobby, still noticing the glares of the men around." Hey pretty girl, are you stranded, how about you spend your night with me," one of the men approached." No thank you," I replied and turned to the reception." Good day ma'am, how may I help you," she asked." I want to book a roo

    Cassians's...My phone rang from the table in the distance and I scrunched my eyebrows in return.Only a few people had my private number, some of whom were my secretary and my Best Friend Andy.I picked up the phone and I saw that it was the secretary, she had strict orders not to call me except it was an emergency, and I could only think of one at the moment, there was a problem with the merger I'd sent her to complete." Good day Mr. Van, I'm sorry but the client refuses to sign the merger without your presence," her voice said over the phone." Where are you, I asked,"" At the hotel adjacent to the company," she replied.I wanted to ask why she chose the hotel instead of any good restaurants or a meeting house, but I thought against it." I'll be there," I said and hung up, looking down from the highest floor, only the bright lights of the hotel could be seen from a distance.I scrunched my eyebrows, the merging had been finalized and it was only left for her to hand the documen

    Esme's...There was still no response from him and I stood up to go, the minute clarity I had was fading away and my senses were going back to being hazy." Please help me," he spoke for the first time and I stumbled back." Hey can you hear me, do you have a card," I asked but didn't get an answer.His face from up close was too handsome to ignore, so I checked into his pockets, seeing for any leads of who he might be when I remembered that I'd booked a room." What could go wrong in having a handsome drunk stranger stay in the same room with another drunkard overnight." I thought to myself and held him by the hand in the hope of lifting him up from the ground.But my feet were all wobble and I was depleted of whatever strength I had, with no other choice, I held his two hands above his head and embarrassingly dragged him to the elevator." Hey, you stupid man, do you know who I am, let me go" I heard a woman scream at a staff who stood in the middle of the route, blocking her from

    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

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
