7:35PM, EDEN'S MANSION He watched as she spread out the cardboard on the table. In the small workroom with him were Spider, Pedri, Miguel and Eagle eyes who were all listening attentively to her as she spoke. They were all gathered around a table while she sat on the armchair facing the table with a bright lamp shining radiantly on her face. "Here is the plan," she said as she waved her dark long hairs backwards while spreading out the paper on the table. He placed his arms akimbo as he listened to what she was saying. "Since the plan has been perfected, I guess we should all stick to it the way it is" she said and raised her face to look at Eden who was staring at the cardboard on the table. "I just hope there are no loopholes because I can't afford to lose anyone tonight," he said in a calm voice. " This plan was made originally by me, a top agent in the force, you should trust me on this one" she said, smiling broadly He nodded and turned to his boys. "You've heard it p
He was dressed in a black suit which looked so old and worn out. He wore an afro wig and lens which made him look a bit older than his age. His men walked beside him carefully with briefcases on their hands. They were escorted by Derrick's men who were guarding them from behind and from the front. A lot of eyes stared as they walked past. Eden adjusted his lenses carefully as he studied the casino. ** Derrick sat like a king in his favorite sofa up in the Chambers as he waited for the men to come in for business. In front of his table were all sorts of wines and expensive drinks, with cigars and some hard drugs. His men were also positioned around the chamber carefully in case anything should go wrong. He watched as Sara walked into the Casino with the rest of the girls. He smiled as he watched the girls carefully. His eyes fell on the fairest one among them. Her skin looked so white and enticing. She was his taste. Though he had ordered them to entertain his clients it wouldn
He let out a broad smile. He had been caught in his own net, he reasoned as one of his men rushed into the Chambers. "We're under attack, the Casino has been surrounded!!" The man said in panic as he tried to catch his breath. The other men began to panic as they turned to their boss whose eyes was still on Eden. They had no idea what was happening. "Boss, what are we to do!!" Sancho asked anxiously. Juliet walked towards the table stylishly with a tray of drink in her hands. She could see Derrick's men trying to take out their weapons. In a Swift action, she swiped the tray of drinks across their faces and then she charged at the men before they could recover. Eden and his men swung into action immediately as they all brought out their guns, including Miguel and Lucas who had been acting as ladies all this while and they began to engage the men in a gun duel. Derrick tried to stand up from his seat immediately but then a gun landed on his forehead. He turned to look at the fac
As they were speaking, Mr Paul the SACT chairman walked to meet them, accompanied by Mr Smoke, a police detective. "Juliet, you have a lot to explain," Mr Paul said as soon as he walked towards them. "Is that a way of saying thank you, Sir?" She asked rudely as her eyes locked with the man "How could you have done this alone, without informing me or the rest of the officials. I know you're crazy and so enthusiastic when it comes to your job but you should know there are rules to this" Mr Paul queried Eden coughed slightly as he watched Juliet exchange words with her boss. He could see Mr Smoke's eyes on him and he smirked. "And what is he doing here? Was he a part of the mission too?" Mr Smoke asked as he turned his attention to Juliet. "Yes he was part of it, I used him as undercover and he is the main reason the mission was successful today!!" She explained. "You've really got a lot to explain when you face the panel, though I must commend you for a job well done" Mr Paul sai
"Que haces?"(what are you doing) Xabi asked as he walked towards them slowly. "Um.. just strolling around.." Miguel said as he scratched the back of his head. "Miguel are you trying to get her to escape?" Xabi asked angrily "No.. that's not it, listen," he said and whispered a few words to Xabi's ears. "Be careful and don't stay too late, the boss might ask about you" Xabi said. "Thanks a lot buddy, come on," he said as he turned to Marilyn. "I'm scared," she said as they walk through the passage again "Don't worry, he would cover up for me"he said as they both continued to walk fast. They got to an exit way which led out of the building. Two boys were sitting at the exit as soon as they got there. "Miguel" they called as soon as they saw him He greeted them and whispered a few words to them. They smiled and looked at Marilyn before turning to open the thick metal door. Miguel led her through the exit and they found themselves in the garage. There were few lights shinning a
He sat in the dim room with his men surrounding him. He heard the door creaking and Miguel rushed into the room panting heavily. "I'm here boss," he said as he walked to join the rest of the boys who were now staring at him. "Where have you been? I got reports you were not in the mansion, where did you go?" Eden asked with a thick voice. "Um.. I..I.." he was trying to speak when Eden slammed the table violently. "Where is the girl?" He asked, turning to look at him. "She's in her room, boss" he replied with fear in his voice "You know she'll be leaving the mansion tomorrow right?" He asked "Yes boss" he muttered "And you also know that whatever you've done with her, ends here tonight right?" He asked again Miguel kept silent with his face bowed low. Eden stood up from his seat and looked at the rest of the boys. "Do what I've commanded you," he said bossily and walked out of the room. The boys began to move out of the room one after the other. He didn't know what his boss
He rubbed his palm against his eyes as the alarm continued to beep from the drawer beside him. He opened his eyes slowly and reached out for the alarm. He sighed and exhaled deeply as he sat up on the bed after turning off the alarm. He looked at Sara who was sleeping comfortably with her body tucked under the bed sheet. He felt a slight pain in his head and he rolled the bedsheet off his half unclad body. He stood up and walked to the bar where he took a bottle of whiskey. He gulped down the drink slowly as he looked out through the windows. It's morning already, and he could see the rays of sunlight which had penetrated into the room. She opened her eyes slowly as she heard the noise coming from the room. She yawned lazily as she saw Eden's huge figure standing by the window beside the bed. She smiled and licked her lips as her eyes savored his bare chest accompanied by his abs and thick muscles. He turned towards her and she winked. She sat up on the bed with the bed sheet c
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. "The one and
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. The pres
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. You have an unborn child Eden, you have me” she cried and he looked away from her sadly. “I’m sorry for putting you
"Take a look at this shit dad! It's all over the papers!" He yelled as he dropped the newspaper on the table before his father "She deserves more than this!" Emilio yelled from his seat "Really? And you believe the trash your criminal son said back there? No! That's trash. You didn't even stand up for her! You didn't care about the family's name!" He continued "Enough Clement!" He yelled as he stood up angrily. "Your mother raped my seven years old son! How does it sound in your ears?!" He slammed. The door opened and Tracy walked into the house with Juliet. "What's going on?" She asked "He is taking sides with his mother," Emilio related "What! Are you dumb?!" Juliet barked as she walked towards him angrily "Put yourself in Eden's shoes. I don't think you can withstand any of those pains he went through" Tracy put in as she walked close to him. "You all can say trash for all I care. And you know what, I will be defending my mother in court!" He stated as he wore his glasses
"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. I was arrested at the airport because of i was setup by my step mother whi is sitting here with us in court” he spilled and the whole court was thrown into an uproar again. “Maxwell, standing beside me here can attest to the fact that he was offered a payment by mrs Smith to frame me up so i would end up behind bars” he
Police sirens could be heard all over the court premises and members of the press team could be seen filling the whole place with cameras and microphones. A TV reporter could be seen in front of the court house, reporting live on TV. Security personnels could also be seen, patrolling the premises as they tried to install order in the court. As he was led out of the police vehicle, he was covered by members of the press who were trying to get further information from him. He was led into the courtroom with Spider beside him. As he was led into the dock, he smiled wryly as he saw his family seated in the front row. His eyes caught with Grace who was sitting close to Clement. Their eyes met and she smirked. He gulped and looked away from her as he saw his mother walking into the courtroom hastily. He could see her walking past Grace towards Emilio who was seated at the end of the chair. "What do you think you are doing?" Grace asked from where she sat She waved her hair backwards an
