The three black cars sped along the dusty road. It was a sunny afternoon and the atmosphere was hot. Mountainous rocks could be seen on both sides of the lone road which was void of other vehicles. A black Toyota Camry could also be seen moving from the other side of the road. The cars slowed down as they moved towards each other. The Toyota Camry stopped in front of the three other cars which had also stopped moving. The door of the car opened and a young man stepped out of the car, dressed in a black jacket and black pants with a black hat to match. He smiled as he saw the cars before him. The doors opened and he could see men numbering up to ten stepping out of the cars, all dressed in black. His eyes focused on the young man in the middle of the other men. He was dressed handsomely in a black fitted suit and tie. He wore his sunglasses and began walking in the middle of the men who were guarding him. "Detective Stones," he called in a deep voice as he and his men stopped in f
"So, how did it go?" Lucia asked as she walked to the living room, dressed in a ripped bum short and white crop top. Jessica sighed as she dropped her bag on the couch. "Where is Amaya?" She asked "Oh, she went out to get groceries" Lucia replied "Alright" she said as she walked to the fridge to get a bottle of water "You came back earlier than I thought. How did it go?" Lucia asked again as she sat on the couch "It wasn't that great, his boss sent him on an errand. Such an arrogant man. Is he the same guy you girls have been dying over to be with?" She asked as she sat on the couch. Lucia smiled "Um…yeah" she said as she scratched her hair "Well, I'm beginning to have my doubts about this Spider guy. He wanted to have sex with me on my first official visit" Jessica said "Oh, seriously?"she asked "Yeah, I still have a feeling that he might be lying to me. If he was the guy he said he was, I don't think he would have thought of having sex with me right away. The guy I en
The door opened and he barged into the room, panting heavily. "I told you boss, she is in danger. I think she is about being raped" he said Eden turned to look at him. Without wasting time, he dashed out of the room with Pedri running behind him. ** "Stop it!" She cried as he pushed her to the bed and tried pinning her hand against the bed. "Just shut up!" He yelled as he sent a slap across her face. Just then, they began to hear sounds outside the room. The door burst opened and one of the boys rushed in "Boss, the King is coming!" He panicked "How..how did he know what's going on?" Spider asked as he turned to the boy while pressing Jessica's head on the bed "I.. don't..I don't..". The boy was still speaking, when the door burst open again and Eden marched into the room. "I'm..I'm.." the boy was trying to explain when a heavy punch landed on his face that sent him sprawling on the floor. He surged towards Spider who was trying to get up from the floor. He landed a pu
She opened the door and walked into the house dejectedly. "Hey, we didn't see you last night," Lucia said as she walked towards her She kept silent and dropped her bag on the couch "Maya, what's wrong?" Lucia asked as she walked to the couch "Let me be ok?" She said angrily as she sat on the couch tiredly "Why is your face like this? You don't look okay" Lucia continued "I'm fine! It's just that bastard who seems to get away from everything" she said angrily "What is it this time around?" Lucia asked "Spider and I had plans for her to be raped that night but the King came around again and he saved her. He came to me that night and warned me that I will face the consequences if anything happens to her. And the warning was so serious that I felt he was going to kill me right away" Amaya related "No.. this is unbelievable" Lucia said as she shook her head in disbelief. "Don't tell me you were the one behind what happened last night to Jess," she said as she looked at Amaya
The door opened and he walked into the room. "Boss," he called as he saw him lying on the couch "Hey, where have you been? Didn't see you all through the night,"Eden said as he sat on the couch "Oh, I went to check up on Marilyn last night and she was sick. There was no one to look after her, so I slept over" he said and Eden's eyes bulged "What?" Pedri chuckled "You.. slept over?" He asked with surprise "Yeah, it's not what you're thinking," he said as he sat on the couch. "She was sick and both her friends were out of town. I couldn't leave her in such a condition. I slept on the couch though, not on her bed" he noted and they both laughed "You've been doing a lot for Miguel lately and I commend you for that" Eden said with a smile and he nodded. "So, how did it go with Jessica?" He asked He let out a sigh "We spoke and I think this is the end of the road for us" he said "Really?" He asked "She can't be around me. She's a good person and shouldn't be seen in the com
With her hands in her hoodie pockets, she stood in Front of the city gate watching people as they moved to and fro. It was getting dark and the City lights began to reflect all over the place. Not long, a red Chevrolet Camaro sped towards her and stopped right in front of her. The speed from the Camaro made her shriek back a little. She let out a sigh as the car stopped and he walked out of the car with a naughty smile on his handsome face. He was handsomely dressed in a vintage short sleeve shirt and shorts. "Hey, that wasn't even funny" she feigned anger as he walked towards her "Thought you said you weren't coming," he said and she sighed and looked away from him as she couldn't withstand the naughty smile on his face. "You knew I was coming and that's why you are here, I can still decide to go back you know," she said and he chuckled "Get in here, big head" he said as he walked back to the car "Hey, don't call me that" she frowned as she followed after him "Seatbelt p
The knock on the door woke him up from sleep. He rubbed his palm on his face as he approached the door. He opened the door and found the two ladies staring at him mischievously. He groaned and let out a sigh. "Aren't you excited to see your beautiful sisters?" Tracy asked as she walked into the room exuberantly "I never knew you were coming" he said as he followed after her while Juliet walked behind her "Oh, did we interrupt anything? Or, were you expecting her?" She asked as she stood behind him "Who?" He puzzled as he looked at them intermittently "Jessica of course, you think we won't find out?" Tracy asked with a smirk on her face as she sat on the bed He sighed and scratched the back of his head "Hmm?" Juliet asked and he kept silent "From what I know, she is a good girl plus she is beautiful too" Tracy continued "What do you know about her that makes you feel like she's good?" He scoffed "From what we get to find out, she studied in the US, her mom is late, and s
"So, I thought you weren't interested in women," she said as he walked to the wardrobe "If I was interested in women, we would still be dating" he said as he took a white short from the wardrobe "So, what broke you guys?" She asked while trying to look away from his sexy and well built body "She wanted more. She wanted love but I wasn't ready for all that shit" he said as he turned to face her "You didn't love her, then why date her?" She asked "Sex" he replied blunty and she chuckled "You aren't interested in women but you're interested in their bodies?" she asked "If I was, I would have had my way with you some time ago" he reminded and she smiled She saw him still standing in front of her with his short in his hands. "Aren't you gonna get dressed?" She asked "In front of you?" He asked rhetorically with a smirk on his face "Gosh" she muttered as she shyed away from him "What effect is my body having on you?" He asked in a hoarse voice "Stop it! Just go get dressed o
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
