"You have been cooped up in your room for such a long time, don't you believe that something should eat! I made sufficient food for you." Leah promptly told Esme after she had come out of her room."I'm entirely hungry at the present time. I didn't eat well at the police headquarters." Esme stomach protested in concurrence with her words."Come on. Your father, Zeke and Rielle are waiting for you in the sitting room. Izayah additionally dropped by again before however you were sleeping. He said you ought to call him when you awaken." Leah handed-off the data to Esme who gestured."I'll do that when I'm finished with eating." Esme replied to Leah's words. She got to the sitting room and then, all eyes were on her. "What? Is there something on my face?." Esme touched her face to feel if she magically grew a mole or something. "There's nothing on your face. It's just that you look a little gaunt and thin. We need to feed you more so you can have more weight. Zeke could easily carry you
"Peace and quiet? I hope you have what you desire for too, Esme." Izayah chuckled. His deep baritone voice sends shivers down Esme's spine. Has she ever had a notion of his voice as appealing previously? Definitely! But it is becoming more prominent in her ideas nowadays."Esme? Are you there?." Izayah's panicked voice brought her out of her reverie."Ah… Sorry. I was thinking about something." Esme blushed. She could only thank her lucky stars that he could not see her. "You can stay at home for the next few months. A lot of people watched the live stream of the court session and were sending flowers and wishes to you. Your office is packed with gifts right now. Your friend and Mr Kian have trouble arranging the mountain pile of gifts in your office." Izayah laughed. He was able to picture her face at this moment. "Since you have given me the go ahead, I'll like to stay at home and recuperate. I'm still under shock at the moment." Esme shamelessly replied. "You are a bad lair, you
Unfortunately, what happened to their mother happened to them also but this time, they were defiled and almost killed. The two older siblings developed a disorder and were not able to work any longer. Laura and her siblings were chased out of the house that the club provided for them to stay in. They had to sleep under a bridge that day and for many more months to come.Three years later, Laura had grown up to become a teenage girl who suffered for her siblings; the eldest amongst them all had tragically died in an accident, leaving only the second oldest, who was immobile, and the youngest, who was very young, to be taken care of. With no one else to rely on, Laura had to take on any job she could find to make ends meet, from selling newspapers to picking up plastic and garbage. Despite the hardships she faced, Laura never gave up hope that her life would one day be for the better.Scarlett and her brother had sneaked away from home one particular day, determined to attend a festival
Hudson had been studying abroad when his parents tragically died in an accident while flying back to the country. Suddenly an orphan, he was taken in by his father's family, but before that, he had been living with his mother's sister. In this house, he was treated as a servant, beaten for even the smallest of mistakes, and this experience shaped his personality, helping him to protect himself from further harm. One day, he discovered the truth behind his parents' death - it had been orchestrated by his mother's family. This revelation changed his life forever, and it was then that he decided to be a selfish person who cared for no one except for himself. The sight of his mother's family enjoying the money of his dead parents filled Hudson with a bitter and angered rage, and he vowed to get revenge for his dead parents. Despite being only a little boy with no power to do anything to the murderers, he did not give up and his life changed drastically after he accidentally killed his co
Hudson's aunt never entirely recovered from the second blow. Her female and remaining child's deaths had such an impact on her that she suffered another heart attack and was admitted to the hospital. The family was devastated.Even after all that has happened, no one suspected the master planner to be Hudson. The third part of his plan was implemented immediately after his aunt came back from the hospital. Hudson was able to get drugs that would make his aunt unable to give birth to any more children. His uncle tried so hard to make his wife get pregnant but it was all to no avail. Hudson's uncle went for many tests but after the examination results came out he saw that he had no problems with himself and since his wife had already given birth to two children before, he didn't suspect anything to be wrong. Hudson's uncle went out to drink with his friends in a bar, it was at that club that he finally accepted that nothing was wrong with him. After drinking so much, he had s*x with a
She was let out when the sex worker and Hudson's uncle came back home. Upon returning, after he had released his wife, something else happened. The bottled up anger that Hudson's aunt had coupled with the envy of seeing the sex worker give birth to her husband's child made her gloomy. Hudson's aunt did not do anything at first, she only watched the baby boy carefully. Her actions seemed like as if she didn't want to do anything to the boy but Hudson knew better. He also secretly watched over the boy. Hudson felt that the boy and the sex worker had nothing to do with the family so he should not involve them. After one month, Hudson's uncle hired a nanny to take care of the little boy. He also installed cameras in the house without the knowledge of his wife, he still felt that his wife was up to no good. It was a good move on his part because something was bound to happen. On a Saturday night, when Hudson's uncle had gone to drink with his friends, the sex worker had already gone to s
As he did that, his aunt tried doing the same thing but Hudson tripped her. As a result of Hudson's actions, his aunt fell from tphe railings and to the ground. They were living on the third floor of the building. "I... Is she dead?." Hudson asked shakily. He had to portray a scared looking version of himself. "Don't tell anyone about what happened, do you understand?." "Yes!." Hudson's uncle looked around to check if anybody was watching them. After he saw that the coast was clear, he whispered to Hudson. "Call the police, remember to act and sound panicked. Tell them what your aunt wanted to do... Tell them what happened and don't leave anything out." "B... But you said that you did not want anybody to hear what happened?." Hudson was confused. Why is his uncle contradicting his own words?"I changed my mind. Just tell the police everything that happened, there is nothing that can implicate you or me there. She is the only one that will go to jail." Hudson's uncle thought about
"Umm..." Hudson held his chin with his fingers in the familiar thinking motion. "It's been a long time since I first heard it but when they were arguing last week, my aunty mentioned it again. When I first heard it, I didn't believe it and thought they were joking about it!." Hudson frowned. "So what you are trying to say is that, you heard your aunt and uncle talking about the death of your parents and they were saying that they were the ones who did it? It seems we need to reopen this case." The police talked to Hudson some more before they went back to the police station, they also told Hudson not to mention a word to anybody and just leave everything to them. After they left, Hudson's cheerfully and bubbly smile disappeared from his lips and was replaced with a frown. The childish way he was acting made him want to gag and throw up. However, his plan to tell them everything was a success. His aunt's death had helped him a lot. Of course no one knew that he was the one who made
"Yes. I think that works better." Micheal replied to Esme and then waved goodbye. He sent people to ambush Sebastian and the other two wherever they wanted to land.John had already found ways to implicate the church as well. Since they were also involved in the building of Mamba and the killings of all those children, they were bound to be punished as well. Scarlett and Leonard had fished out all of the traitors surrounding their organizations immediately after Jamarion was rescued and taken to the hospital. Now the organization was in reform and rebuilding. Everything was coming to an end so fast that Esme still thought she was dreaming. ONE WEEK LATEREsme and Izayah walked hand in hand to the place where they held Sebastian and the other two. The cell was so dark and dreary. It was just like the cell that held Esme in, in her past. The sound of chains rattling echoed throughout the corridors and it felt like a heavy burden on Esme's heart. She was finally going to meet the pe
"Crap!." Sebastian angrily cleared all the papers from his table and without even looking at the papers.The headquarters was thrown into a state of disarray. They were suddenly attacked by external forces. How their location was even found was still a baffling thought to him. He quickly put everything that he deemed reusable or important into his bag and held it with one hand. Without further ado, he went to the secret room and opened the closet where he held Number Seven hostage.Her body was already dried up and withered. Even the liquid thst he had been trying to extract had turned into a big pile of goop. "Mr Sebastian, we have to leave now! The lower floor has already been destroyed. It won't take long for them to reach here." "Alright. Let's go!." Sebastian hit a red button. It's the control switch for a sprinkler. However, it wasn't the normal water sprinkler. A white gas emitted from the sprinklers onto the ground and anything the gas touched melted and was destroyed, incl
"Mom?.""Come over here, Zeke. Just give her some space." Rielle motioned for Zeke to come closer, but instead of paying attention to what his mother was saying, Zeke wrapped his hands more tightly around Esme's shoulders, to the point that it began to harm her."Zeke, you should listen to your mother. You're not going to tell me that you've turned into a defiant person who disobeys her, are you? I have always emphasised to you how important it is to pay attention to your mother and to never disregard her instructions, no matter what it is that she wants you to do." Esme gargled her words in silence.This person is not Zeke. There is no way that it is Zeke.Esme's gaze travelled all around the living area. She was looking for something that she could use to get herself out of the situation.If the person who is holding her is not Zeke, then it must be someone that Mamba has sent over to keep an eye on them both. It's possible that their faces are just masks.Her attention was drawn to
"You are under no obligation to place your faith in me at this time, but I know that you are aware that these items can be of assistance to you in eliminating Mamba. I will be patiently awaiting your reassuring words, Miss Esme. Stay safe and be careful." It's not that Esme wished to say anything, but it seemed as though the man knew that she would not reply to him no matter what he said, so he hung up the phone before she could say anything.A string of notifications began arriving in Esme's inbox not long after that. When she first opened the documents, her mouth dropped open in surprise, and her hands began to shake as she read about everything that Master Xander had done throughout his years of hiding. Esme was so incensed that she was only just able to stifle the yell of anger that was about to explode out of her throat for a moment longer.As if assisting Mamba in completing those tasks wasn't enough, Master Xander had to go and add even more!She continued reading, but that was
"It is possible that she is the traitor. It would be wise for you to suggest to your mother that she check in with that woman and find out what she has been up to recently. If she is in fact the one who leaked the information about Jamarion being sent on a mission, then catching her off guard will be an effective approach to determine whether or not she is the culprit. Perhaps she even has some idea of the location to where he was taken to." Esme suggested to Izayah, and he reflected on what Esme had just said. Her concerns were valid, but he couldn't help but wonder how she was aware of all of these things."If you are curious about how I knew what I did, it's because I talked to someone who filled me in on a lot of details and gave me some explanations. Please put your faith in me regarding this, and look into your mother's organization. It's possible that a large number of traitors are hiding out in that location. Always err on the side of caution instead than regret.""Then we're
"Brother, may I use your phone if it's okay with you? I need to get in touch with Miss Esme, I have something to tell her." When Jeremy brought out his phone and offered it to Princess, she immediately reached out with both of her chubby little palms to grab it.Princess dialled Esme's number in a hurry, and it didn't take her more than two rings to pick up the phone when it rang."Jeremy?""It's not brother. My name is Princess." She said to Esme, who took a momentary hesitation before letting out a chuckle."Is that why you wanted to speak with me? You wanted to tell me your name?" The tone of Esme's voice was soothing, yet it also had a playful element to it."Yes... I mean no. I have something else to tell you. The road we were on when we met today will take us through the same location again tomorrow.""Am I going to have any issues?""I failed to mention that Mamba had also placed some personnel there in order to keep an eye on you. They have evidence that you regularly pause to
Esme was overcome by the feelings of melancholy that she saw to be flowing from the young girl, yet despite this, she felt comfortable in spite of the situation. Esme felt a sense of relief when she realized that she possessed the compassion necessary to keep them from having to make the same sacrifices that they would inevitably have to do in the future."I promise you that I will do everything in my ability to ensure that nothing happens to any of us this time around," Esme said, locking her pinky finger with the young girl who sniffled and nodded in response. "I promise you," Esme said."So... Are you finally done talking? I was actually blown away by everything that the both of you just said," Jeremy said with a smile while crossing his arms; yet, his fingers were shaking. Jeremy continued. Even his body language gave the impression that he was petrified and unable to move.Even though it wasn't the reason Esme assumed it was, it was still plausible enough to be considered a possi
"In the past, one of the ways Silvia was able to capture you was with the assistance of your friend Emma. Emma was envious of the fact that you were more attractive than she was and that you had everything, in addition to the fact that you were more popular than she was. She tried to comfort you following the passing of your parents; yet, the emotions she was genuinely experiencing in her heart at the time were guilt, happiness, and determination. She was resolute in her mission to rob you of everything you have. She felt bad about the fact that she had participated in the murder of her best friend's parents, but at the same time, she was relieved that things were finally coming together as they should. She enjoyed seeing you suffer because it fulfilled her purpose for you to be in that state." The little girl said. Every word that came out of her mouth stabbed Esme's heart. There was a part of Esme that wanted to trust her so desperately, but at the same time, I wanted to expose her
A cute and lovely voice could be heard coming from the direction of Jeremy's back. Esme let out a breathless sigh when she finally saw who was behind the voice.The tiny child was adorable, but she had the distinct impression that she had seen her before."You are just like me." The young girl's words were filled with wonder. Her milky eyes gave the impression that they were peering directly into Esme's own soul."I'm just like you?." Esme asked. Her eyebrows furrowed in surprise and perplexity. What exactly does this little girl mean when she says that?"Even though your history is not very clear to me, I can still make out bits and pieces of it." she said."You have special abilities? But I didn't give you permission to go into my background, so why did you do it anyway? You should not act in such a manner." Esme admonished the young lady who then began to panic. "Oh... I'm sorry about that! I honestly did not intend to act in such a manner! Because it's something I do intuitively,
