"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
"As long as I get to come along with you, it's fine with me." Izayah smiled at Esme who snorted in response. "Do you not agree, Miss Esme, that it is important for your parents to be aware of this situation? They have the right to know about what just occurred to you, even though you want to stay back and take care of him even though it just happened to you." Esme was given advice by one of the police officers."Okay, I'll be calling them right now. Please excuse me." Esme gave the back of Izayah's hand a light pat before standing up to go call her parents on an officer's phone because the one she had during the fight had been destroyed."Hello? Mom?." Esme coughed lightly. "Esme, you've got to be kidding me! Where have you been all this time? Your father and I have been searching in every conceivable location for you.""I'm actually going to the police station right now to give them my statements because I came this close to being kidnapped. After explaining, Esme stopped speaking
"In point of fact, we have been familiar with one another for a considerable amount of time. It's just that you all don't recognize me, so I'll go ahead and introduce myself again. My name is Izayah Rory Stone, but most people call me Izayah. It is a great pleasure to become acquainted with you.""Rory... That name sounds familiar; I'm sure I've heard it somewhere before... Oh! It's you! You must the same young child who bullied Esme when she was younger and made fun of her all the time? It has never occurred to me that the two of you might meet again in the future in such a manner as this!" Esme's reaction to Leah's words caused her to become a little bit perplexed."Rory? Who exactly is this Rory character? And how come he bullied me when we were children? I have never been bullied!." "Oh, you don't remember it because you were in a car accident and it wiped out your memory. When we were younger, not only did we live in the same neighborhood, but you both also attended the same ele
"I have some bad news for you, boss. Those guys were also taken to the hospital after they were unsuccessful in capturing the girl.""What?." The man who was seated yelled, his tone filled with astonishment as he spoke."Was she with someone?" The seated man asked. "Yes, our spies reported seeing her in the company of a male companion. It was he who was the one to assist her.""Esme... I should have known. You have been cheating on me from the very beginning; otherwise, a man who hardly knows you would not be willing to risk his life for you in the first place." Jeremy said darkly. The person who was standing in front of him became perplexed as a result of his words, but that was none of his concern."Your father asked me to convey to you the importance of avoiding a situation like this in the future. He would not lose people as a result of your foolish ambitions to subjugate an average girl." After passing on the message from Jeremy's father to Jeremy, the man bowed and then walked
"Ugh... I'm going to go see what kind of thing I can make. The only reason I'm doing this is because I'm starving and I detest calling for takeout even when I am hungry." The sound of Esme's voice reverberated through the hallway, which brought a grin to Izayah's face. It looks like he's smiling quite a bit more these days.As Esme entered the enormous kitchen, she was once more taken aback by the kitchen's stunning ambiance. Even though it had a modern appearance, the walls and ceilings of the house were designed to fit in with its overall aesthetic.When she opened the refrigerator, she discovered a variety of fruits, vegetables, and meats.It is reasonable to assume that he enjoys eating vegetables given that he lives by himself. Esme took note of this. She decided to make some noodles, so she got a bunch of vegetables out of the fridge and grabbed some ramen that she saw on the top shelf."Does he enjoy things on the spicy side, or not?" Esme asked herself."I like it with a littl
"You will have time to investigate the house tomorrow; for now, however, you need to get some rest because you've been through a lot already. You cannot refuse." Izayah announced, after which he almost physically removed Esme from her seat. He wanted her to sleep in the room that was adjacent to his own. Esme had anticipated that the room's size would make it feel more isolated than it actually did. Even though it was a touch chilly, it was still tolerable in the end."Considering how large it is, how come there's only bed for one person to sleep in here?" As soon as Esme walked into the room, her attention was immediately drawn to the chandelier that was suspended from the ceiling."Should I add my bed? I can sleep here with you if you want." Izayah said and Esme snorted but she didn't answer him. "That is so impressive in its size and splendor." Esme murmured."You can take a shower if you want to, as there is a bathroom over there for your use. In just a moment, somebody will brin
"What you're trying to tell me is that, in addition to the person who hired you, you also take orders from other people. This is a first of its kind." Izayah did not seem concerned about the person who went by the name Regina, primarily due to the fact that he cannot recall who the person is."Just one more question: who exactly is this Regina that you keep referring to? It's possible that I've never been exposed to her name before."Almost as soon as he finished saying that, Esme burst out laughing."I don't understand why you're laughing.""It's really too bad. I could tell from the look in your eyes that you were truly perplexed, and it made me laugh out loud. Because that woman is familiar with you but are unfamiliar with her yourself, you could easily break her heart when she hears this. Who knows, she might blame me for it." Esme dabbed away the tears that had begun to pool in the creases of her eyes."In all honesty, I have no idea who she is. In any case, you can go to the but
"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,
