Yhwach POV
A month passed, and I couldn't sleep very well. How could I? I finally made it to London. Esmeralda was close, and I was too excited even to think properly. I was a fool for not thinking this was where the Hellsings would hide. All that time was wasted, and if I had trusted my instinct sooner, I would've had Esmeralda in my arms. Since these months passed, it made me wonder if Esmeralda and Sosuke...?
I shook my head.
No.
Esmeralda would not let herself be touched. She is pure, and no one can touch her. Her body and soul belong to me. I would kill anyone if they touched what is mine. However, those two were together for a long time, and I couldn't shake off the possibility. I clenched the glass cup in my hands. I was in a hotel close to the Hellsing Manor and had to be careful. Many of my men were spying on my brothers and Sosuke.
Esmeralda would hardly leave the house but be noticed either in the gardens or other parts of the house. I was given pictures of her. I could see parts of her, but her face was noticeable. One of my favorites is her sitting on a bench with flowers. She would look at the flowers and would smell them. She looked magnificent.
I couldn't help to touch the picture. If only I could have her in my arms and feel her skin. As I came here, I made a plan to get Esmeralda back. Not only that but also getting my brothers and Sosuke out of the way. However, Starrk and Tsukishima were also involved. I shouldn't be surprised. They are just like their worthless mother. Those two are a reminder of the misery I had with Unohana. We were forced to be in a marriage we didn't want, and when we had to consummate to have children, it was one of my worst experiences.
Yet, Unohana was a victim like I. She once told me that she hated her father and was physically, verbally, and emotionally abused. However, she had Kenpachi to help her through her troubles. I had no one. I hated to admit it, but I envied Unohana. She and I had similar upbringings but had someone to fall back to. Now, she can be with her lover in peace. I sat in front of the fireplace and watched the fire ablaze. I felt like going into a trance.
Suddenly, the image of Esmeralda was in the fire. She was wearing the same red dress when she danced at the party. I saw her dancing with the fire. She moved her hips. Her raven hair moved with the fire, as did her dress. Then, her esmerald eyes looked at me as she danced. The image of Esmeralda was motioning me to go to her. I slowly tried to reach her, but then the phone vibrated.
Her image disappeared in the fire. I answered, and it was my lawyer. "Sir, we have an emergency. I got a phone call from the FBI, and they have questions for you."
I raised an eyebrow. "Aren't these fools doing their job!? I was able to find them. Tell them what I told you!"
"Sir, the FBI has received information about a supposed murder in Romania. A man named Alucard Tepes."
I dropped the glass of whiskey. What? How...? "How did they get this information!? What information do they have!?"
I noticed my lawyer's hesitance. "D-DNA tests were done, and they confirmed that this man is your father and that he was murdered. Th-That's not all. Some information was found on payments to the corner, police officers, and politicians when your father died. Also, uh, sir, some illegal dealings were found when you came to the States. With all this information, the FBI is beginning to question your reliability. They want to ask you questions."
I couldn't believe it. How in the hell did the FBI get that information!? Tsukishim and Issa were more technology experts and had to do deep digging. Everything is going wrong! I hung up the phone. I had to get Esmeralda before this went deeper. I'm not going to be able to hide in Romania. There was one other country I could go to that no one would suspect. I have a house there, and I have many influential friends there.
I got my phone again and made a phone call. One of my men answered. "Change of plans; I want all of you to execute the plan now!"
...
Within the month, Ace told everyone the news that a woman was pregnant with his child, and everyone met Makino. She was a tall and thin young woman, but her baby bump was getting noticeable. Esmeralda thought Makino had an innocent look, big dark eyes, and dark hair. Makino was initially shy, but once everyone welcomed her, she opened up more.
Gol D and Rouge liked her and were thankful Makino was a respectful and kind woman. Makino apologized to them if the news caused them distress, but all she cared for was the well-being of her child. Esmeralda and Makino got along very well and were excited about the birth of their children.
Everyone was happy and excited that two babies would be born and their families would grow. Tsukishima handed the information to the FBI, and now an investigation would happen on Yhwach. Yhwach's corruption scandals made him not credible, and everything would go wrong. Sosuke was happy that he and Esmeralda would soon have a good family life. His uncle said that Esmeralda and Sosuke could stay in the Hellsing Manor to raise their family once this was over. Even Ace was welcome Makino to raise their child. Bradley and Amelia didn't want to be a bother, and they would retire in Germany.
However, Sosuke and Esmeralda did not have it. Hellsing Manor was too big for one or two families. They wanted Bradley and Amelia to stay with them and whoever wished to stay. They wanted the couple to be more around the baby as long as they wanted. During the month, Anselmo's ashes arrived, and it was an emotional time for Esmeralda. She finally had her father with her. Sosuke was with her and supported her.
Also, Integra's remains were taken to the cemetery and buried next to her father. It was an emotional time for Bradley and his brothers. They never had a funeral for their mother, and Bradley and his brothers cried for the first time. Their mother was finally with her father again. Esmeralda never saw Bradley and his brothers cry, which made her emotional. Even though they're grown men, they cried for their mother, who was murdered.
Now, everyone was having a big dinner to celebrate the positive outcomes. Starrk and Tsukishima were also present and were slowly opening up. All they wanted was justice for their mother and Kenpachi, and there was a possibility that they would get justice. Sosuke and Esmeralda watched as everyone ate and spoke in contentment. They all talked about their plans when all this was over.
Sosuke put his hand over his wife's stomach. Her baby bump was getting bigger. Esmeralda wore a long white dress with a brown jean jacket over it. She said that the jeans were getting a bit bothersome. The women were planning Esmeralda's baby shower, and the men spoke of other things. However, everyone didn't know what was happening outside. There were armed men outside the manor. Then, gas bombs were shot.
Everyone was in shock at what was happening. Bradley realized what they were and instructed everyone to cover their mouths, but more gas bombs were shot, and many breathed in the gas.
It was sleep gas.
Sosuke tried covering his mouth, but Esmeralda was coughing and slowly falling. He tried to get his wife to a safe place, but he was losing consciousness. Esmeralda lost consciousness, and Sosuke saw that his brothers, uncles, and aunts were also losing or already losing it. He fell beside his wife, and everything went dark.
