"In any case, the person who impersonated her should be destroyed so she can no longer be considered a threat. We are not allowed to leave any traces." The woman tapped her long fingernails, which were covered in dirt, on the seat of the chair she was sitting in. Slowly, water was falling from the ceiling above her head, where it had been leaking for some time. The men who were standing in front of her became hypnotized by the sound of the water dropping on the concrete floor."We will carry out your requests to the letter, Ma'am." The two men who were unwilling to kill anyone went off on their own as if they were being directed to do so by a supernatural force."You are going to deeply regret interfering with my family, Esme Verte." As the light in the room began to fade, the woman continued to laugh hysterically.The dark orbs that Esme possessed were focused on the dark painted ceilings as she leaned against the walls of the prison cell."I despise the hue of this." She mumbled to
"That's pretty sweet. Why did people fear him if they thought he was a reincarnation of elves." _Despite the fact that folklore asserts that elves are gentle beings, the historical record was very skewed during my lifetime. Someone has written about elves in the past as beings of evil intent who are employed by the underworld. Therefore, they dealt with him as if he were a servant of the underworld. "When you talk about the underworld, are you referring to... The Devil?" Esme inquired with some trepidation. _Yeah. That is exactly what I had in mind. They started picking on him after they discovered that he had no special abilities, and eventually he got to the point where he couldn't take it any longer and ended his life by hanging himself. It's hard to believe that so many people started to mourn his passing and express their condolences after he passed away, but it's true. The elderly woman appeared to be reliving everything that had transpired through the bitter grin that she w
"When we get back to the house, I have something special in store for you. Your bags were also sent to me by your mother, and you can find them in your bedroom." Izayah assisted her in opening the car door after he had parked his car."She put it all together by herself?""Yeah. But was your brother who brought it to me. I had no idea you had a sibling like that.""Me too. I was only made aware of this a few weeks ago." Esme smiled as she responded to his question.They went inside the house together, but as soon as Esme set foot inside the house, Jamarion launched himself at her and attacked her."Ouch!." When Esme was pushed down by Jamarion's weight, she let out a yell."Do you intend to cause her physical harm, Jamarion? Why are you behaving like a kid?." Izayah seized Jamarion by the collar and almost forcibly threw him onto the couch as she did so. After that, he assisted Esme in standing up."I believe I sprained my foot." As Esme stood up, she moaned in apparent discomfort."L
"Come with me, and I'll show it to you." Izayah led Esme to a location in the home that she had never explored before. It appeared to be an identical or very comparable basement to the one at Jeremy's home."Here we are.""What kind of a place is this?" As they continued to make their way deeper into the basement, Esme voiced her question. This place, which is both familiar and strange, evokes unpleasant recollections."You can think of it as a dark and detention center if that helps.""A detention center? Wait... Have you found the individual who I asked you to keep an eye out for? I can't believe you actually did that." Esme inquired with a giddy expression."How did you get to be so smart? You have prevented me from giving you the surprise I had planned." Izayah pushed open the gates and entered the small room."There she is," he said. Izayah made a motion in the direction of the woman who was sitting in the chair in the middle of the room with her hands bound. There was only one s
"Your worth is greater than what I have to offer, but if you want it, I won't be offended if you take it. Seeing all of this money makes me feel like I should be ashamed of myself. I had the intention of throwing it away, but I can't just get rid of it like that. I am a very self-centered person, aren't I?""Why were you having those feelings of guilt?" Izayah developed an interest in what she had to say, and as a result, he began asking her questions.After he had asked her the question, there was complete silence in the restaurant. Both of them looked at each other in silence for a few moments before the woman started laughing out loud."You're interested, aren't you? It is not right for me to divulge my private information to a complete stranger, but seeing as how I am the one who asked you to come here, I suppose I should tell you." Another laugh came from the woman."You're familiar with the model who was spotted at the agency and who was responsible for injuring another model, r
"Are you seriously wishing for my demise, you venerable woman? If I die, you'll die as well."_It doesn't matter now because this elderly woman has already lived her life to the fullest.Esme was speechless in response to the comments made by the elderly woman, so she simply pouted."I... I can smell it... Please hand it to me." A mutter was picked up from the woman who was sitting there. Esme shifted her attention to the woman who had initiated the search for the source of the Ritalin odor."You definitely have it on you, don't you? I beg you, hand it over to me!" When their gazes finally connected, Esme recoiled in shock as the other woman continued to stare at her.In contrast to the clueless and dazed appearance she had before, she now appeared soulless and empty. She was making a valiant effort to break free of the ropes that were shackling her, but it was to no avail. Since Izayah had brought her to the basement, she had not taken the drug, which is why she was in such a panicke
"Don't even think about it! I have a better idea! How about we send some people after her with the intention of raping her and filming it while it's happening? Either we can use it to blackmail her, or after we have raped her, we can just dump her body somewhere, and then post the video online." A red light shone in Regina's eyes. "You took after me particularly, my dear daughter." Laura smirked."Dad didn't come with you? I had anticipated that he would be returning home to us today." There was no sign of Regina's father anywhere."Once again, your father said he would sleep in the office. He indicated that there is more work for him to complete. I have enough money to take care of the three of us, so I don't understand why he continues to put in so much effort at his job." As Laura and Regina approached the front door of the house, she began to complain."The egos of men in general. If Izayah and I were to get married, I am positive that he would still want to keep his job. Since t
Both of them consumed aged cheese in addition to crackers for the cheese course.The final course, known as mignardise, consisted of bite-sized macarons, and the dessert was a lemon creme brulé served alongside a dry white wine."I'm done!." Laura groaned and leaned on the chair. Her face was a little red due to the spiciness of the meal and the hotness. "Even though it's supposed to be for both of us, I could barely finish this meal. I'm so full." Laura patted her bulging stomach with a smug expression on her face."It's important for you to go outside and walk, Mom, so you can properly digest your meal. If you don't do something soon, the image of yourself as lean and fit that you want to maintain in front of your friends will be ruined." Regina sipped her sorbet."Are you cursing your mother to become very chubby?." "There's nothing wrong with being on the plump side, mom. It will accentuate the curves that you already have." The chubby girls are Regina's favourite. She has consu
"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,
