Reagan" I suppose you're outside for a much important meeting," I asked trying to divert his attention from staring too much at my body." I came to see the deceased son," he said setting his back against the backrest of the chair." Oh," I replied, unsure of what else to say anymore.According to the judge, the deceased wife would be the one to pay a fine for the involvement of crime and defamation of Mr Todd's company.I was supposed to pity her and although faster, I already had plans to pay his medical bills anonymously." Why'd you do it," I asked." Because Esme, if a Father was willing to throw himself from stories of building to get compensation so he'd be able to foot the bills of his son, he was a good father," He said while looking up at me." And his wife, although she was greedy, I understood her point and why she didn't want to back out of the case, that was why I paid, they're being left alone without a father and a husband." He said again, while a waitress walked towa

Todd's POV...Esme Ames. When I first heard her name, I thought it'd be too bad if such a beautiful name was born by an average ugly person and then she came into sight.Black pants, shirt, and heels, the only contrast in what she wore was the colour of her long wavy hair and the colour of her eyes." Mr. Todd," she called as soon as she walked closer. She extended her hand out for a handshake." I'm Esme," she said and smiled. I could have sworn that it was the most beautiful smile I'd ever seen on anyone's face." Esmeralda," I said and she almost flinched Before she corrected."Esme," and I smiled before she sat back down while her boss briefed her about the case.She listened with rapt attention and then turned to leave the office at the end of the discussion." I hope to see you more," I said and shook her hands, letting its warmth seep into mine.As a corporate business owner, a Mafia Lord, and a lot of other titles, I knew thinking and having constant thoughts about her would d

Esme...My eyes went around the room, from the expression on Mr Kim's face to Mr. Van and then back to Mr Todd's." I'm sure Mr Kim gets the point Mr Todd is trying to make," I said trying to ease the tension already built up in the room diplomatically before it led to another person being unalived." I'll walk you out of the office," Mr Van added trying to maintain animosity between the two men in the office.Mr Kim wanted to hesitate at first, his ego was on the line after being humiliated in front of two people.But it seemed his life was more important to him than his ego, he nodded and let himself be led out by Mr Van.I closed my eyes and heaved a sigh of relief at his exit while taking mr Todd's hand off my hair.I had many questions to ask about why he had gone back to shoot the man and spared the other but I knew he wasn't obliged to, so I kept quiet about it." What? I'm not here for you," he said while shrugging his shoulder as if afraid of me complaining about him coming

Esme I sat resting my back against the backboard of the bed, staring wide-eyed at her. " You what Rita," I asked. " I put Mr. Todd's and my number as your emergency number," she said again, spelling every word out for me. " Why?" I asked, to no reply. She rolled her eyes at me instead and gave no response to my words. "Rita, please," I said holding her hands in mine. " Because Esme, you needed it. If I hadn't done that you'd never have been saved, not even the police could find you in time," she said as softly as she could. " But Rit-" I wanted to say when she cut me short. " There's no 'but' Esme. I know I might have done it without your consent, and how rude that is but I don't regret it one bit," she said and shook her head. " Because for you Esme, I'd do anything, even if it means kneeling in front of Italy number 1 to protect you, not that we'd ever need them, but if the need ever arises, trust that I'd do it, for you," she said looking at me in the eye. There wasn't e

ReaganHis hands rubbed my hair affectionately before he pulled me into a hug.Rita ran outside to the bodies of the men sprawled dead on the ground and me in Mr Todd's arms." I'll be back," he said facing Rita." I need you to take care of yourselves, call me if anything happens, he said Before placing a kiss on my forehead and turning to leave.I walked back into the House with Rita, both of us silent until we got into the house.The door was locked, and I walked into the bathroom while Rita did the same as well.We settled down in our respective rooms, too tired to bring anything up to talk about and both overwhelmed by the turns of events. ...................The soft ding of the door being opened woke me up from sleep, Rita had left and had stopped a note before leaving and I walked to the door to Mr Todd at the door."Esme," he called as soon as our eyes met and I looked at his figure.He had changed into a new set of home clothes, one that I'd never imagined seeing him i
