They were able to wrap up the photo shoot in a matter of hours, everything went according to plan, and even the photographers themselves were happy with how quickly they were able to achieve their objective."I am grateful to you for your cooperation in this matter, I thoroughly enjoyed working with you." The photographer walked up to Esme and shook hands with her. Li Qing approached Esme with a smile on his face, indicating that he was aware that his choice to be with Esme was a very astute one."Alright. It would be really appreciated if you would accompany me back to my office so that we may have a discussion about something that is of the utmost significance.""Okay." Because Esme had a hunch about what Li Qing was going to say, she did not give the impression that she was excessively concerned about what he was saying. They resumed the positions that they had been in prior to when they had first arrived. "It is in reference to the supplemental provisions that I negotiated and
"What?." Jeremy did not believe it. The girl who has never stopped following him around everywhere he goes and pleading with him to date her now calls him stupid. Was she always like this."Esme, how dare you...""You are not intelligent as you give the impression of being... Moron is a much more better word to describe the way you are behaving like right now, don't you agree? Due to the fact that my vocabulary is on the little side, I apologize that I am unable to think of an adequate word to characterize the level of stupidity that you have exhibited today." Esme was having a wonderful time chatting with him in this fashion and was enjoying herself immensely. The relief that she felt when she finally let it all out after keeping it bottled up for such a prolonged period of time was comparable to taking a deep breath of fresh air."Esme...""I remember telling you that I never understood the reason why you always sided with Silvia instead of me, despite the fact that I am your own gi
"Yes... If that is the case, what you are implying is that you are the child's parent, aren't you? Were you having an affair with anyone else at the same time you were dating me?." Even Esme experienced a small amount of anxiety as a direct result of Leah's unsettling calmness."No, I would never cheat on you and you know that. Rielle put something in my drink on purpose to make it possible for us to have a sexual interaction, and although I did sleep with her, it was not my choice. " As Andrew continued his explanation, he became aware that Esme's indifferent stare was set on him from behind. As a result, he made it a point to carry on in the most calm and collected manner that he was able to muster."Why did she think that she had to get in touch with you at this time? Are you one hundred percent certain that she does not have any devious schemes and wants to drag you into it?." "She claims that she has cancer, and according to her, her doctor has warned her that she does not have
"Snooping around? It is completely beyond my comprehension how you could ever have such a ridiculous assumption about me. And to answer your question, yes, I did try to hide my real identity by adopting something that no one would have even thought about! It's like human skin! The feeling that one gets from the whole thing is one of ease, and......" Esme was able to successfully end the call by hanging up on the other party. She had no interest in learning anything else about the strange hobby that her uncle was into. It was only a passing curiosity to her. The issue at hand is determining whether or not the individuals who were responsible for clearing her father's name are on her side or whether or not they have another intention.Esme yawned. When she checked the clock, it was already one in the morning. She knew that if she went to sleep after this hour, it would be very difficult for her to wake up in time for work the following day; as a result, she had to force herself to go to
Because Esme was an actress in her previous life, she had earned a significant amount of money—much more than this amount— but during that time, most of that money was not transferred into her personal bank account even though it was hers. Her manager took advantage of her in the past; hence, the fact that she is now free to spend this money all by herself is a change that she is pleased about. She is the type of person that sets a high value on material belongings, and one of her goals in life is to accumulate the greatest amount of wealth in her bank account that is humanly possible.Izayah gave a brief cough, and he was on the edge of being unable to contain his grin as Esme became preoccupied in her own thoughts and the money sign shined in her eyes. "Miss Esme?" Izayah called out softly while he simultaneously tapped his fingers on the table."Huh? Oh... My... Apologies..." The color started to return to Esme's cheeks as she began to flush. There is no circumstance that will emb
"Sir this bag contains nothing but throwing knives." The security guy was dumbfounded after checking the contents in the bag. He was genuinely shocked. "I have no idea how this woman was able to sneak past all of us at the gate." He continued to exhibit his confusion and innocence even while he attempted to provide an explanation.Izayah helped Esme bring out the chair he normally sat on and even without thinking, she sat on it. Esme did not take her eyes off of the security guard while she waited for him to continue explaining."During the entire time that we were there, nobody saw someone that looked even remotely like the woman. As a consequence of this, we are able to say without a shadow of a doubt that she did not enter by any of the gates." He finished. As soon as they entered the office and saw the woman, they started to question themselves whether or not they were the ones who let her in."Are you okay?" Izayah shifted her attention to Esme, who gave off the impression of be
"You want to take me home?." Esme stated again. Why would he even suggest that they go home together?"I live just around the corner from you, two blocks away." Izayah made his revelations. Does the woman believe that he is the type of person who enjoys taking advantage of young women? What kinds of inaccurate beliefs does she hold about him?"Are you frightened? You have no reason to be concerned because I have no intention of hurting you in any way.""That is what they all say but deep inside them, they are waiting for girls to fall prey." Esme murmured to herself in a low voice."It's totally fine if you don't want to come with me," she said. Even though it hurt him, he had no choice but to let Esme do as she wants. It's possible that if he tries to convince her to come with him, things will go badly for them both.Esme let out a sigh. She was aware that he might not intend any harm toward her, but given what she had been through in her previous life, it was extremely difficult for
"Izayah? What exactly took place?" Esme slowly sat up while supporting her head with her hand."You were unconscious for a while, so I called the ambulance, but you wouldn't let me go no matter how hard they tried to release me from your grip, so they could only wait for you to come to." Izayah shed some light."What? I held you?." The color of Esme's face turned a shade of red as she held his shoulders."Ouch! Please don't hold me in such a tight grip." Izayah showed a faint sign of discomfort."Are you hurt? Let me see!." It didn't take Esme long to unbutton his shirt. His entire body was covered in cuts and bruises, and the lower part of his abdomen was bleeding from multiple wounds."Why didn't you let the doctors treat you when you were sick? You let them leave!." Izayah, who was the target of Esme's glare, laughed in a sheepish manner."It doesn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would... Esme~~" Izayah whimpered after Esme gave his arm a very slight pinch."Doesn't this hurt
"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,
