DARK OBSESSION The dark horses
"You shouldn't have shut him out! We need Eden for this mission and you know it!" Ella said angrily as she looked at Gabriel's face.They were both seated in the car with Ray and two other men in the front seat."He's proving too stubborn and I don't know what came over him. I guess he's just letting his jealous attitude get the better part of him and it's not gonna be good for my mission" Gabriel said as he tried to catch his breath"Eden is needed in this mission. Sending him back home could dissarange our plans" Ray said immediately"Let him go home. I need to teach him a lesson" he insisted"Father, we can't afford to lose just because of a silly mistake. I need to give him a call right now" Ray said as he picked up his phone."Where are you right now?" He asked as the call was picked"Going back home as father instructed" Eden’s voice came through"No, I need you here" Ray said at once"I'm not taking orders from you. I'm taking orders from father!" He barked"Don't be rude, turn

She looked out of the window and let out a sigh as she saw Ray, standing some distances away from the car, making a phone call. Some of the men were out of their cars already and they could be seen strolling around the road while some were seated on the rocks along the roadside. The sun was beginning to give its light and the atmosphere became a little bit hot.She looked at Gabriel whose gaze was on his phone and he raised his face to look at her“You feel bad right now, don’t you?” She askedHe gave a sigh and a slight nod“Sweetheart, you don’t need to keep putting the pressures on me. I realize i was wrong but he is gone. Trust me, when we get home, i know how to make him feel better” he said and she smiled“You know, I don't really think Eden was being jealous. I believe he was only trying to be careful so things don't get all messed up. You know, if there is anyone we could trust with our missions, it’s Eden” she said and he nodded slowly“You’re right. He knows how many times Ra

They dragged him up from the ground and proceeded to the car amidst the rains of bullets. Just then, sounds of sports cars were heard approaching the scene and bullets could be seen firing towards the mountain tops. Shouts of Men could be heard as they were seen falling down from the mountains. The cars came to a halt almost at the same time and the doors flung open. Eden and his men swung out of the car in full motion as they shot sporadically at the men who were shooting back at them. "You, go for Gabriel while I and the others will engage the men" Alves said as he cocked his gun from where they hid behind the cars. "Go, go, go!" He ordered and Eden ducked as he ran in between the cars. "He is here! The one I've been waiting for" Ray said as he spotted Eden running from car to car "Engage him and this time, make sure he dies" his father said to him and he nodded and dashed out from their hiding spot. He began to fire at Eden who was engaging some of the men who were standing o

The first shot came and he opened his eyes and saw Pius staggering with the pistol in his hand. He raised the pistol towards him as the bullet hit him on the back. Another shot followed and it hit straight at his back head. The gun dropped slowly from his hand and he fell on the ground immediately. Eden jumped out of the bush as soon as Pius was down. He rushed towards Gabriel who was lying in a pool of blood. "No!" He cried as he saw blood covered on the surface of his belly. He dragged the jacket off his body as the blood continued to gush. "Father, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left," he cried "You didn't leave Eden, I asked you to" Gabriel muttered in a low pitched tone "I'm sorry father," he continued to cry. "You remembered my words to you some time ago, son, there are two things involved in the life of a gangster. Either prison, or death. But in my case, I have chosen death" he said with a smile on his face which was battered with blood "No, father, no!" Eden cried. "Son,

Eden jumped towards him and grabbed hold of his hand with the rest of his body down the cliff. He held on to his hand tightly as he looked down at the water whose waves were tossing on the big rock below the cliff. "Eden, let go" he said in a calm voice as he looked at Eden who was trying to drag him up with his whole strength. "No," he cried as he held his hand tightly He looked down at the water again and then at Eden. He wriggled his hand free and his whole voice echoed around the mountain as he fell down the cliff. "No!.." Eden screamed as he sat on the ground dejectedly. He heard footsteps and he raised his head and saw the boy who had saved him earlier, walking towards him. He seemed to have witnessed all that had happened. The boy stood beside him while he sat on the ground with his arms curled around his knees. He heard footsteps again and he saw Spider and Miguel running towards him with Alves and some of the men behind them. Spider pointed his gun at the boy standing b

PRESENT He smiled as he was led into the visitors room where he could see Tracy and Juliet sitting at a table watching as he was brought in by a warder. "Hey sisters," he called with a wry smile on his face "Hey, you're getting used to your cell room I guess," Tracy joked and they all laughed "How have you been holding up?" Juliet asked with concern "I'm doing great. Any news about Jessica?" He asked and they shook their heads slowly. "I feel like she is ignoring our calls deliberately and we can't visit her at the house for now because of her father" she replied "I guess she still feels hurt over everything" Tracy put in and he kept silent. Right now, he doesn't know what to feel. Somehow, he felt hurt that she believed he was guilty and never bothered to check up on him. He waded the thought off and turned to his sisters. "So, we're here to talk about your next appearance in court. You've been charged with involvement in gangly activities which involves kidnapping, robbery,

"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.

DARK OBSESSION Epilogue
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.
DARK OBSESSION The transfer
"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
DARK OBSESSION The verdict
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
DARK OBSESSION The witness
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
DARK OBSESSION Help me out
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
