He sipped his drink slowly as he sat on the balcony while staring through space.

He could still hear Derrick's thought provoking words, resounding in his ears constantly. Though Juliet had urged him to be calm, he wasn't sure he was ready to be calm about this whole thing. There is a lot he still needs to know.

Someone was after his life definitely, and that someone had a hand in his grandma's death. If Derrick seemed not to be the one then who? He reasoned as his fist tightened against the glass of wine he was holding.

Could it be?... He tried to think as he went down memory lane. Fear surged through him as he thought of an enemy of the past. He quickly waded the thoughts off him as the past was too dark for him to mesmerize.

He stood up and dropped the glass on the table before him.

Just then, Pedri walked in to meet him.

"Boss, you've got a call" he said, while handing a phone over to Eden.

Eden took the phone and placed it on his ears with his eyes on Pedri.

    He sat in the middle of the room with a lot of his men surrounding him. His right leg was crossing against the left as he puffed out smoke from his mouth and nose. It was 9:30pm when Miguel was brought in to him. He couldn't believe his instinct had been right about Miguel. Right from the day he had ordered Alberto to be drugged with Marilyn, he had suspected something fishy in the way Miguel had reacted. He knew Miguel had a thing for the girl, but he never knew it was as strong as getting himself to disobey his orders. He had ordered Pedri to track his movement earlier, but he knew how close Pedri was with Miguel, and so he had done the job himself with eagle eyes who had succeeded in tracking his movement to a guest house outside of town. He watched as Miguel and Marilyn sat on the floor in front of him, with their faces bowed low. She was sobbing silently and he wondered if she really loved him. He stood up and walked towards Miguel whose face was still bowed low. "How could

  • DARK OBSESSION   THE KISS

    He tried to open his eyes but the pain he felt was too much. He could feel a little sunlight penetrating into his eyes which were fluttering. He opened them slowly and the sunlight flashed into his Iris. He managed to use his palms to shield his eyes from the sun. Just then, he heard someone walking to the window and shutting the curtains which made the room dim. He opened his eyes again and saw Gabriel positioning himself on the armchair facing the bed. "You're awake," Gabriel said with a smile. "Hmm.." he muttered as he was unable to speak. His lip hurt and he felt his whole body ache. He was unable to move. "How do you feel?" Gabriel asked. "Not great" he muttered and rolled his eyes away from him. "You weren't supposed to feel great. Why didn't you fight?" Gabriel asked "I wasn't prepared and you all didn't expect me to defeat Ray" he replied with a little tone of anger. "No one said you should defeat each other. You were supposed to fight!! Fight Eden, Fight!! When will

  • DARK OBSESSION   A NEW MISSION

    The sun was beginning to set when he walked out of the house with Gabriel. They both walked to the backyard to a small wooden house located a few meters away from the blockhouse where they lived. As they approached the wooden house, he could hear noises coming out from the house. Gabriel opened the front door and they walked into the house. "Wow" he exclaimed in awe as he looked around the whole place which was filled with a lot of training instruments. He saw some punching bags, speed bags and other equipment that could be used to train. Alves was seen sweating heavily as he rained punches on the punching bag in front of him. "bienvenido, chico"(welcome,boy) Alves winked at him as soon as he saw them. "I know you haven't learnt a lot boy, this is where you'll train everyday starting from today. I'll leave you in the hands of Alves. He'll take care of your training" Gabriel said with a smile as he patted him on the head. "See you later. Ella and I have got a mission to accompl

    They arrived at the slum by 7pm in the evening. He followed behind the men as they all filed into the old building. They climbed to the third floor and they all entered into a room. Each man was dressed in black as they were all prepared for the mission that night. The lights in the room shone on their faces as they walked in to meet Gabriel who was busy dropping guns on the wide table before him. He could see different guns and riffles hung on the walls of the room and he felt his heart skip again. He saw Ella beside Gabriel and she smiled at him. She was dressed in black jeans and hoodie with a black head warmer and gloves. The men began to pick up different weapons from the table as soon as they walked in. Eden could see Ray smelling a pistol which he held across his nose. "Smells good, '' Ray said, smiling. He was dressed in black jeans and hoodie just like Ella. "Have this" He heard someone say behind him. He turned and saw Alves standing behind him with a pistol in his

    Splash!! Splash!! The sounds of water came on his body. His eyelids fluttered and his lips began to quiver as he felt cold run through his bare chest. He tried to open his eyes but the pain he felt in his head was so strong and he let out a groan. The waters splashed on his face and his eyes opened wide. He began to pant and his heart palpitated with fear as he looked at the able-bodied men standing in front of him. They were all dressed in black outfits and their eyes were burning like fiery coal. They were three in number and he wondered what he was doing in their midst. He couldn't feel his feet on his floor. He tried to wriggle his body and that was when he felt his two hands tied on a rope which was hung on the ceiling of the room. His heart flinched as he looked around the room at once. He could see a scared little boy lying on the cemented floor on one side of the room and then his memory took a flash of what had happened the other night. The only thing he could recall was

    "Run!! Eden Run!!" He heard her call. "Grandma!!" He screamed as he saw the man pull the trigger. He woke up suddenly and he began to pant. The sound from his pants could be heard all over the room. He felt perspiration all over his body as he opened his eyes and looked around the room. The whole room was dim and the only light he saw was the sunlight which had settled on the wooden window in the room. He tried to move his body but the pain was too much to bear. His whole body ached and he could barely lift a limb. He thought he had died, not until he dreamt about the scenes of his grandma's death did he wake up. He turned his head slowly and saw the little boy resting with his back against the wall. He seems to be fast asleep. It was evening already and the sun was setting. He began to wonder what Galina's plans for him were. He heard the door creaking, followed by footsteps. He heard the voices of men speaking and he knew they had come for him. He saw one of them shutting t

    She smacked her lips sinisterly as she gazed at his face which wore a smirk. She rubbed her palm on his smooth chest and wetted his neck with kisses. He shut his eyes as she climbed on his legs and took off her nightie slowly. She was about to plant a kiss on his lips when he placed both arms on her shoulders to stop her. "Wait.." He muttered "What!!" She barked with her hair falling on both sides of her face "The lights," He said "Oh," She sighed. She climbed away from his body and laid on the bed sexily. "Switch them off if you want," She said to him. He stood up and went to locate the switch. He switched off the lights leaving only the red fancy bulb. "Music," He said and she groaned impatiently. She reached for the remote control beside the bed and turned on the music. He walked to the bed where she was lying fully unclad and she motioned for him to take off his clothes. He took off his trousers slowly and climbed into the bed. "I want it to be magical and more

    He opened the door slowly and scanned his eyes carefully on both sides of the passage. He could still see the men which were numbering up to five moving to and fro at the passage. He had no idea how many men were in the building. He had no idea of any escape route he could take. He took a deep breath as he saw the men from a distance. They seem not to have taken notice of him as the lights at the passage were a bit dim. He could hear noises coming from down the stairs. He looked at the staircase which was a little distance away from the room. Should he attack the men down the stairs? Or go for Arturo first? He reasoned. If he should attack the men down the stairs first, then the men upstairs will surely get Arturo out of the building without his notice. Definitely, he needed to attack the men over here first, he thought as he stepped into the passage. He fired directly at the men who were standing in the passage. The men were caught unaware and they all began to run Helterskelter as

    10 YEARS LATER MAXIMUM SECURITY CAMP, JUAREZ The lights fluctuated and the sounds of his leather boots could be heard as he walked hastily through the hallway. Holding a tray of tea, he kept a straight face as he walked past the warders and the heavily armed men mounting in front of the cells on both sides of the hallway. He took a left turn where he could see a passageway holding up to three cells. Two heavily armed policemen could be seen patrolling along the passage which was as calm as a graveyard. He stopped in front of the cell with a number tag, G3. The sound of the steel gate could be heard as it opened wide and he walked into the cell slowly. She rose up from the bunker bed and heaved a sigh as she turned to face him. Her lips curved into a mischievous smile as she saw him holding the tray with his head bowed. "Gracias" she muttered with a smile as she took the tray from him and he turned to walk away immediately. She sat on the bed with the tray resting on her legs.

    "Hey," Julius called as he walked over to him with a glass of fruit juice in his hand. "Hey man," Eden called as he munched his fries "You know, I'm proud of you" Julius said with a smile He nodded "Thank you for being a true friend" he said and Julius smiled. "You know, Smoke's perspective about you has changed a lot. He no longer sees you as an enemy to the state" he said "Oh, really?" Eden asked in surprise "Yeah. He sends his regards. He has been transferred away from chimalpa" he said and he nodded. "My mom sends her regards too. She's really happy right now that you did the right thing. She has spent a couple of months praying for you" he said and Eden smiled "I wish I could meet her one more time" he said and they both smiled. "Eden, my worst fear is life in prison for you. You know how many of those guys you've put in there and they're probably waiting for you right now" he said anxiously He gulped and exhaled. "I know and I've been thinking about that. I will have

    He stood up from the bunker bed as he heard the sound of the steel gate opening. He has been placed in the city's minimum security prison before his transfer to a maximum security prison in Joanesco. He followed behind the warder as they walked through the hallway which holds different cell rooms. A few armed men in uniforms could be seen, mounting in front of the prison cells. He was led into a large field in the open where he could see a few inmates who were having a good time with their family and friends. Heavily armed Security personnels could be seen, patrolling around the facility which was fenced all round. His face beamed with smiles as he saw his family and friends waving over him at the field. As he walked closer to them, he could see Jessica running to meet him. "Eden!" She cried as she hugged him tightly. He held her closely for a while as everyone watched with smiles on their faces. He looked ahead of her and he could see His father and mother standing with his sist

    There was tension in court as Nanny Cassie was called up into the witness dock. Grace shut her eyes for a moment as she saw the Nanny who was standing on the dock with her head bowed. After taking the oath, Tracy began to throw series of questions at her. "How long have you been working at the Smith's mansion?" She asked "For almost three decades" she stated "Great. Now as a Nanny who has witness a lot that has been ongoing in the Smith's mansion, tell us what you know about the abuse case and Mrs Grace's involvement in the murder of Mrs Rodrigo Eden's grandmother" she continued. "When Eden was taken back to the mansion, I began to notice a few unusual things about him. He sometimes refuses his meals, and he becomes emaciated. Sometimes, he would lock himself up in the room and I would hear him cry. One night, I saw Grace take him out of his room and she led him into the Master's room while he was away on a business trip. I tiptoed and leaned on the door listening to their voices

    There was a pandemonium in the court premises as a lot of chants could be heard by the crowd who had gathered in front of the court gate, holding placards and banners as they continued to sing and chant in Spanish. "libertad al rey!!"(Freedom to the King) were the words that could be heard echoing around the whole place as the young men and women tried to gain entry into the court premises. The police and other security agencies could be seen, trying to enforce peace and order as they engaged the crowd who were causing a pandemonium over the premises with their chants. As the police van zoomed into the court premises, the chants increased and the gate of the Court was shut immediately while the crowd continued to chant outside. He was led out of the police van with Spider beside him. As he looked back at the crowd, he was filled with awe and his eyes welled up as he saw the crowd which was made up of mainly students from the states University chanting his name gracefully.

    Her wide full lips broke into a warm smile as she watched him being led into the visitors room with a policeman beside him. As he walked closer to her, his face beamed with a smile and he couldn’t explain the feelings of seeing her here again. “Hey,” she called with a smile as he took the seat facing her. He kept silent and stared at her face for a moment, with his face full of smiles “What?” She asked with a chuckle “You’re getting robust” he blurted and they both laughed. They kept silent for a moment with their eyes burning into each other. “I miss you Eden, i want you to come out of all this” she broke into tears immediately He heaved a sigh as his heart became heavy ``Jess, stop it” he said with emotions written all over his voice. She sniffed and wiped the tears off her face as she raised up her head to look at him. “You don’t really have to go to prison.

    "Overwhelmed by shock, I screamed and the men chased after me. As I ran out of the woods, I was hit by a car which happened to be Gabriel's car. He and his beloved wife Ella, rescued me that night from the hands of those men. I became obsessed with the thought that someone was after my life. And when Gabriel introduced me to the gang, I wasted no time in accepting his offer. I was only eight when I became a gangster. And since then, I've been consumed with vengeance and hoping one day I would have my vengeance on the people who killed grandma and all those who had hurt me" he related as he looked at Grace sternly. “And since then, they haven’t stopped coming for me.
