She walked out of the room dressed in a blue ripped bum short and a white designer polo with a teddy bear strapped in its front. She held a glass of whiskey as she looked around the passage but there was no one in sight. She turned to the left side of the passage which was leading to the Chambers where she supposed the meeting was being held. As she moved slowly towards the Chambers, a voice startled her; "Not that way madam" She froze and turned immediately to see the bodyguard behind her. He was a young handsome guy probably in his late twenties, tall and well built with brown skin and dark wavy hair. He was dressed in a black leather jacket and black trousers with a black face cap on his head. "Um.. I'm looking for the boss, I thought maybe he'll be in the Chambers," she said as she walked back towards him while sipping her drink slowly. "He's holding a very serious meeting right now, and no one's allowed to go in," the guard said. "Fine, I'm just bored around here.. care
He walked into the control room, holding a white hand towel. He could see Eagle eyes seated at one end of the room, deeply engrossed in the computers before him. He sighed as he wiped his face with the towel. Eagle eyes turned to his direction as soon as he walked in. "Any news from Sara yet?" He asked as he stood some meters away from Eagle eyes. "Not yet,I guess she's still looking for the right moment to make the call" he replied and turned back to the computers. "I'll wait till the end of the day, if I don't hear anything from her, I'll contact Gloriana again" Eden said " Are you scared she might have been hurt or something?" Eagle eyes asked He kept mute. He walked towards the computer desk and rested his hands on an armchair. "Not like I'm scared, I know he probably won't hurt her. He doesn't hurt his girls unless they were found guilty" he said "Then let's be patient" Eagle eyes advised. Just then, the door to the control room opened and Juliet walked in. She was
PRESENT "So, Ak Forzan is just a title and we all thought it was a name.The name of a gang leader" Juliet said in bewilderment "That's how they made it seem. Ak forzan didn't die, Shadad did, A new Ak forzan arrived just after Shadad's death. And he has been operating secretly for years now. His name is Sharad, Shadad's twin" Eden explained tactfully. Silence fell in the room after Eden's explanation. "So what do we do with the info, boss?" Eagle eyes asked. Eden turned to him with arms akimbo. " First of all, I need to meet Sharad, he's our only way of breaking in" he said "What!! There's no way I'm working with a drug lord, I'm an agent of the law, remember?" Juliet pointed out. " I'm doing this alone Juliet, you don't need to get involved, besides I owe him a lot" he said to her. "Do you even know his whereabouts?" She asked "Last time I heard about him, he's back in the slum. He had travelled out to Malaysia where he had been leading the gang after the death of h
5:45 PM, VENO SLUM The sun was beginning to set as they drove into the slum. He couldn't take his eyes off the place which brought back memories of his childhood. The memories were more of adulthood than of childhood, he thought as he smiled while adjusting his glasses. Looking out of the car window, he could see the old dirty houses that lined up the streets with almost falling roofs. The road was rough with stagnant Waters occupying it. As the car moved slowly down the road, they could see boys and girls, men and women moving around the crowded street. A few teenagers could be seen smoking around the corner, while some girls were frolicking around them. There were mini restaurants around and he couldn't help the smell of tapche which protruded out of the restaurants. He could also see kids running around, all dressed tattardly. A few teenage boys and girls with tattoos all over their body, stopped beside the road to watch as they drove past. They were dressed ruggedly an
The chamber was dark with only the chandelier lights shining in the middle. The whole place was furnished lavishly and the floor sparkled like gold. A few lights came on as soon as they stopped. "Look who we have here" a voice startled him. He looked around and from behind he saw a man seated on a golden chair which looked more like a throne. He was dressed in a white sultan garment with a red scarf wrapped around his neck. He had thick beards on his chin, with long black hairs which stopped on his shoulders. As he stood up from his seat, Eden could see how tall he was. No doubt, he was Sharad, he thought. The middle aged man walked majestically towards them with a glass of wine in his right hand, and a walking stick on his left. Eden marveled at how he had aged with time. He saw the looks on his face, and they were no longer that fierce looks he saw when he was young. "This is the man you're looking for," Alves said to him "Are you a part of this meeting also?" Sharad a
Silence fell into the room as soon as he finished speaking. Sharad nodded his head slowly as he thought about Eden's plan. It was a perfect one, he reasoned. "Perfecto," he said after a few seconds. Eden smiled briefly while staring at the man. "But the problem is, I'm not the man to help you get in. I can't get in touch with Derrick any longer, considering what he has done," Sharad said sadly "Then who is the man that can help me? Eden asked "The only man who can help is Alberto. He works as an agent for Derrick. He was the man who connected us for the business in the first place," he said "Where can I find him?" Eden asked immediately "You have to go easy boy, there is no way you can get through Alberto without Derrick suspecting foul play. Alberto would surely give you out to him," Sharad cautioned "I know, and I wasn't planning to go through him easily. I need to know where I can find him" he said boldly "He has been avoiding me ever since the incident with Derrick. He kn
She was laughing with her friends at the bar when she sighted the four guys walking towards them. The one in front caught her attention as he was looking so hot and handsome that she couldn't help but stare. "These guys are so damn hot," her friend Elena remarked "They're coming over to us,oh my gosh!! Isabel exclaimed. "Girls, you don't have to fool around" she cautioned. Just then, the guys stopped in front of them and the one in front came forward. She tried to look away from his grey eyes which were round and sexy. And the abs he was showing, did her no good as she wasn't so good at ignoring abs. "Hey" he said with a charming smile "Hi, how may I help you?" She asked bluntly while her friends giggled silently. "Saw you dancing on stage and I must remark, you're good and probably the best I've ever seen" he said, still smiling charmingly. "Thanks" she replied bluntly again while trying to avoid his gaze which was now fixed on her face. "Would you mind if I go on st
11:50 PM, LA VEGO CLUB, CATANA The whole club was buzzing as people danced and whined to the music coming from the DJ. Strippers were also seen performing on the pole and entertaining the sight of many. The smell of alcohol filled the air, with the club lights lighting up the whole place. Men numbering up to Ten could be seen seated around a table drinking and smoking with girls who were half unclad seated beside them. Amongst them was a man in his early fifties who was dressed in a black emirati thobe. He has a well built body structure, with an oval shaped face accompanied with round silver eyeballs, and a pointed nose. On his side were two bodyguards and two half naked girls who were seated on his laps and caressing him. He seems to be enjoying himself as he was seen drinking and moving his body slowly to the song being played at the club. "Boss, there is a call for you" his bodyguard said and handed the phone over to him He looked at the caller and it was an unknown numb
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
