When Xiara asked Jeremy that question, he went into a trance and didn't move for several seconds. Since the moment Xiara and Esme first crossed paths, one could say that they have maintained an exceptionally strong connection with both one another and with themselves. Xiara regarded Esme as her sister-in-law and her closest friend, Esme respected Xiara for the role she had to play in facilitating the relationship between her and Jeremy. Nevertheless, in light of the fact that Esme had ended her relationship with him and not Xiara, Xiara has the potential to play a pivotal role in reuniting the two of them. Esme had always listened to Xiara so this might work."After having a disagreement, we came to the conclusion that it was best for us to part ways." Jeremy responded to the question. He bowed his head and made an effort to appear pitiful, but Xiara was having none of that pitiful behavior at all."Don't pretend. Because of the extent of my familiarity with Esme and the fact that I
"You betrayed her trust by having an affair with her closest companion.... If I were in her shoes, I would do everything in my power to steer clear of being in the same place as you. At this very moment, I feel an overwhelming sense of repulsion or disgust towards you. To put it more plainly, you should keep a significant distance from Esme at all times. It is not going to be possible for you to get her back." After that, there was no more back and forth between the two of them. If Xiara had known that he had even sent kidnappers to take her, she would have assassinated him and buried him in a hidden location. If she had known, she would not have let him get away with it.THREE DAYS LATER"I heard about what happened from Izayah, and I hope that it did not scare you too much." As soon as the proprietor of Tide learned that Izayah and Esme had arrived back in the area, he made his way over to the establishment in order to meet up with them in person."No, sir; due to the fact that Izay
Once the thirty minutes had passed, everyone in Tide could be found congregated in the hallway. The vast majority of them were perplexed as to why they had been summoned to the hall, while a few of them had a hunch as to why they had been summoned. In a short amount of time, Esme and Izayah also walked into the hall." We are here to address the rumors that have been circulating within the company because we have heard about them and they were going around. Izayah made a beginning to elaborate."In point of fact, what occurred on that day was that I came dangerously close to being taken captive. Izayah fought the people who had tried to kidnap me and it ultimately resulted in him receiving some injuries. We were taken to the police station to give our statements after the police were called. It was neither for the purpose of laundering money nor harassing anyone."Esme explained while making a frowning face."If we are successful in determining who was responsible for spreading this r
"It is up to them to decide. I was surprised when they told me they would still send me money.""In addition to that, Li Qing shared with me that he will extend an invitation to you to come to his party personally. He will soon host a ball." "Okay. If that's the case, I'll be looking forward to it. What exactly do you want to use these things for?" Esme pointed to the folders that were sitting on the table with her finger. Kian tore open one of the folders and took it in his hand."I have spent some time looking for a certain person's folder, but I have not been successful in my search. It is necessary since it's the CEO that wants it." When Kian realized that the folder he was holding did not contain the information he required, he threw it to the ground and continued searching through the others. "It looks like it's urgent. We'll help you. Who exactly is this person?""It's your folder I'm looking for." Kian gave a lip sided smirk."My folder? Because it's mine, it shouldn't be amo
After Esme had finished what she was doing, she went out of the ladies room and continued to watch Kian and Emma look for her file. Her gaze moved to the blue file that was situated on the far edge of the desk. It is possible that they did not find it because it was concealed beneath the mountainous heap. She moved toward the desk and chose the blue file to take with her."I found my file. Here it is." Esme threw the blue folder into the air and waved it around."You are such a sweetheart, Esme, and I'll see you in a couple of hours."Both Emma and Esme stood there expressionless as they watched Kian skip out of the office."Are you okay? You spent a significant amount of time in the ladies room." After a long period of silence, Emma finally spoke up."I'm fine. I was just pondering something in my mind at the moment.""Would you mind if I shared it with others? I am aware that talking about things may help relieve some of the stress that you are feeling." Emma cocked her head to the
"Ah... Me?" Emma pointed to herself. Why would the CEO be asking for her? Could he be one of those kinds of men who likes to prey on young girls. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." He tried to assure Emma but it only made her more scared. "Just go with him, he won't do anything to you." Izayah spoke up. Since the CEO wants to lend him a hand, he can't refuse. "A... alright."After Emma had followed the CEO out of the office, only Esme and Izayah were left inside the office. "Did you miss me?." Izayah adjusted his stance so that he was facing her. He showed the barest hint of a smile on his face at that point."Why should I go through with that? We are in close communication with one another at all times." Esme's face flushed with embarrassment as she attempted to evade his gaze."Oh, my goodness. When we weren't together, it seems I was the only one who thought about you. Unfortunately, I will not be able to give you the package I prepared for you. You would have loved eating it. As
_Esme, you have matured a lot over the years. I assumed you would be fixated on getting revenge after everything that happened."Do not misunderstand me; I fully intend to get my revenge in the end. I can't ignore everything that they did to me, but for the time being, I want to put my attention solely on my work." Esme reclined further in her chair and pulled her hands over her eyes.When she thinks back, Esme realizes that she did nothing but work and work until she was stripped of all of her possessions. Being a person who only spends money without working would be a good idea if it weren't for the fact that she needed a lot of cash; this prevented her from taking advantage of the fact that her father is rich. However, part of her plan is to work her way up to become one of the wealthiest people in the city. The only way she will be able to keep all of the people she wants to control under her thumb."In addition to that, I require subordinates. Should I instead pursue a career as
"I'm so cold." Esme conversed with herself in a hushed tone. While she was attempting to prevent the knife that was in her bag from penetrating her, she wrapped her arms carefully around herself.Her legs walked much more quickly than they ever had before, and soon she was moving closer and closer to running. At this point, she had the impression that she was a very long way from home.As Esme proceeded forward, she was unaware of the person who was following her in the shadows behind her.The person sneaked up on the person they were following step by step without making any noise that could be heard by the person they were following. They got more close together until..."Ah!!." Esme let out a scream before producing her knife and slashing it in the direction of the person who had touched her."Don't get so worked up, Esme! It's me." "Xiara? What exactly are you doing here?" Esme asked in surprise. It has been a very significant amount of time since she last saw Xiara."That probab
"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,
