The driver arrived at the polling location quite a bit earlier than expected. After they disembarked, Leah led the others to where Andrew was waiting; however, as soon as the reporters at the venue saw them, they swarmed over them to get a better look."Hello! Have you, Mrs. Verte, brought Miss Rielle to this location without being coerced?""What are your plans for dealing with that mother and her young child? Will you take them into consideration?""Regarding the court proceedings that were taking place at the time that your daughter was arrested, are you able to provide any news regarding those?"The three of them were squished in a tight space with no room to breathe because of the reporters."Please excuse us, but if any of us gets hurt, I promise you that you won't like what will be done to you." The reporters were forced to take a step back due to Esme's presence, which exuded an aura. Although her words were polite, they could feel a sense of power in them. "Let's get out of
"You and your mate should hold off on making out until the voting is finished. After that, you are free to kiss as much as your heart desires." It was at the same time that Leah and Scarlett said it.People sitting in the front row were keeping their eyes and ears peeled for any piece of news, and they were rewarded with hearing it.Because Esme's parents and Izayah's parents are familiar with one another, it is not a lie when Esme says that she and Izayah have been friends since they were children.The fact that Izayah and Esme behave in a similar manner leads one to believe that they were not only childhood friends but also childhood sweethearts when they were younger.They were unable to detect any sort of tension emanating from between them, but anyone who looked could see that there was a light fluffy quality present between them.Esme became red in the face as a result of the words spoken by her mother. That is something that she has been doing for some time now, and the reason
"She has not yet arrived, has she? How much longer will it be before she arrives here? When exactly will she arrive at that place?" Esme was becoming increasingly concerned because her cousin, whom she had been looking forward to seeing, had not yet arrived."It is highly likely that she will show up fairly soon. Lola is not the kind of person who gets excited about getting up early in the morning. It is completely out of the question for her to show up on time for anything." Izayah snickered. His eyes moved in the direction of the entrance as he checked to see if any of the members of her security detail had come in. In point of fact, he was positioned there, calmly awaiting her arrival at the specified location."In a short while, she'll be coming to join us. That is her private bodyguard, who was never observed away from her side in any situation at all." Izayah spoke to Esme, and in response, Esme turned her head to look at the bodyguard that Izayah had been referring to. Izayah c
Note: There will be mentions of rape here. Izayah beckoned for Leah and Rielle to come with him while he firmly grasped Esme's hands. He led them to a location with a low population density, ensuring that their assailants would have a difficult time locating them there.Izayah came to a stop when they arrived at the parking garage that was located close to the polling location."Hide in this spot, don't make any noise, and under any circumstances, do not emerge from hiding. Make sure that no one sees you and that they don't come close to you. I'll look into it for you." Esme gave a small nod before ducking behind the massive automobiles that were parked in the garage."Stay safe." Izayah gave Esme a kiss on the forehead, which caused her to go into a state of shock; however, she was able to quickly recover because this was not the appropriate time to swoon.As soon as Izayah reentered the building, Esme's legs started to shake. She was extremely concerned for both her father and her
"No! Instead of taking those two, why don't you take me? You are not allowed to touch any of them!" Rielle struggled so hard. The man who was holding her gave her a kick in the back of her knees, which caused her to land with a thud on the ground. She scraped her knees on the rough part of the concrete, which caused bleeding, but she did not give up despite this setback."Let me go! I beg you, let go of me." Rielle saw a chance to escape. She bit her captor's hand so hard that her teeth tore a piece of flesh off of his hand and blood gushed out. Her captor reluctantly freed her due to the pain and she immediately made her way to where Leah was being held. "Let her go!" She yelled. She unleashed a barrage of blows on the man who was holding Leah, but she had no chance of victory against such a burly opponent.He initially held on to Leah with one hand and then moved on to Rielle with the other. He picked her up and hurled her against the wall before resuming to hold Leah. She hit the
THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS THINGS NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN. VIEW AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. "She is having trouble breathing, and her heart rate is dropping; hurry and get her to the intensive care unit as soon as possible. Quickly!." As soon as the nurses arrived at the medical facility, the first thing they did was transfer Esme from the back of the van to a stretcher, and then they made their way to the intensive care unit as quickly as they could. They didn't waste any time and got straight to working on her by performing a variety of procedures on her right away.The doctor issued an order to "Cease the bleeding," stating that the patient had already lost a significant amount of blood."Her heart rate appears to be gradually lowering itself." A very loud beeping sound started coming from the monitor at that moment."Get in touch with the other doctor; we need to do everything that's within our power to prevent her from passing away!" In the operating roo
"What?." Esme's hand was visibly shaking. She took a few shaky breaths and then jerked her body back in terror."Don't be quite so frightened, all right? It won't be painful in the least. The fact that you have been doing this for the previous few years should mean that it is no longer novel to you." Silvia beamed a joyful smile at me. A dark look glinted in her eyes. At that very moment, she had the appearance of the devil. The terrible force that was responsible for bringing misery into Esme's existence."Why... Why are you putting up with me like this? You now have everything that your heart has ever desired! You have deprived me of all of my possessions! What else do you want!!." Esme let out a scream.The table began to shake, and the lights began to rattle. It seemed as if an earthquake was about to strike the area.The jangling light bulb on top of Silvia's head drew her attention, and she raised her eyes to examine it. She walked away in case it crashed to the ground so it wo
"We sincerely apologize... We have made every effort possible, but...""However, what? What exactly are you referring to here?" Lola inquired with slightly quivering lips. It took everything she had in her to keep herself erect and not stutter throughout the entire conversation."Unfortunately, Miss Verte could not make it. My deepest condolences go out to you...""Doctor! There is a critical situation! You have to come in immediately!" A nurse interrupted the doctor and almost dragged him back inside the ward after he had left the room.While they watched, the whole group was rendered dumbfounded as they saw the petite nurse dragging a large and hefty doctor by herself."What exactly took place?""The patient's hand just twitched at this moment, and the monitor started beeping once more.""Really?." The doctor instantly examined her heartbeat and was taken aback to learn that she still had a beating heart."How is it that this is even possible?" He looked to see if she had a pulse.N
"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,
