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,
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
"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
"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
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
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
