PRESENT"You can keep it if you want," he said as he removed the wristwatch"But you said it was a gift, and you shouldn't give out what someone else gifted you" she said"No, it will bring you back to me just like he said" he said and they both laughed"And you believed that?" She asked and he smiled"You're a good man Eden," she said as she looked into his eyes.He smiled and stood up as he gave her the wristwatch."I will need to start going now" he said"Why? So soon?" She asked as she stood up too"Yeah, you want your father to come get me?" He asked"No, but.. Eden, I want you to stay" she cried and he sighed and walked back to her.He wrapped her in his arms and she held him tightly."I love you," she whispered and he kept silent. He recalled how Rosa had whispered those words over to him before her death. He squeezed her body in his arms and they both stayed that way for a moment.He looked into her eyes and removed the strand of hair from her face. She smiled as he planted a s

The smell of barbecues and roasted beef filled the air as laughter and slow music was heard coming out from the surrounding.It was a beautiful afternoon at the lodge. At the back of the lodge out there in the field, a large table covered with white cloth could be seen, filled with fruits, desserts, and all sorts of beverages.Eden and Julius could be seen at the barbecues stand, roasting barbecues while discussing and laughing over a few things.“Do you think she will come?” Julius asked anxiously“Trust me, she will” he assured“What are the boys up to this time around?” Tracy and Jessica asked as they walked out through the backdoor,holding food bowls in their hands.“Up to something” Julius said and the girls laughed“Where is Jonathan?” Eden asked Tracy who was walking over to the table“I guess he is having a hard time using the stereo” she said“That stereo been out of use for a long time now.

They ate, chatted and laughed happily at the table."Come on, let's go and swim. It's hot down here" Julius said as he stood up from the table."Yeah, I need to cool off," Eden added as he took off his dress immediately.He ran after Julius who was heading to the pool at the front yard and their laughter could be heard as they splashed into the water."Paulo, come on, let's go over to the pool" Jonathan said to Paulo who stood up excitedly."I've never seen Eden so happy all his life," Tracy said as soon as the boys left"Eden deserves to be happy" Juliet said as she stood up from the table."Thank you Jessica, for bringing light into his life" Tracy said to Jessica who was clearing the table.She smiled and pushed her hair backwards."I just hope he will one day change from the path he is threading" she said"Eden would change. It's just a matter of time. We will take things slowly" Juliet said as she grabbed an apple."Yes. With the presence of you and Julius, I believe he will have

As he opened the door, they both ran inside with their bodies drenched in the rain. He shut the door immediately and exhaled."Gosh, we never saw that coming" she said as she walked into the living room."I thought we would make it before the rain starts," he said as he switched on the bright lights.He took off his wet shirt as he walked to meet her. She looked away from him and looked around the small but neatly arranged living room.She picked up a Bible which was on the table and she took a glance at his face."Eden told us you were a religious boy and he's actually right" she said as she dropped the Bible. He smiled and walked over to meet her."This book, is the only book that can solve the answers to life's big questions" he said as he picked up the Bible again"Whatever" she said as she looked around the house. "So, where do I start from?" She asked"The kitchen" he said at once.She eyed him and he laughed."We'll begin from here" he said as he placed his hand on her shoulder

She opened her eyes slowly and all she could feel was an acrid pain on her head and thighs. She hadn’t felt this way before, she thought as she looked at the other side of the bed. Her eyes fell on the windows and she could see from the outside view that it was morning already. Her heart skipped as she recalled how she had slept over at the lodge. Everything that happened last night became clear in her head and she placed a palm on her forehead immediately.She looked around the room but there was no sign of him. She looked underneath the duvet covering her body and she sighed heavily as she found herself unclad. Her lips were quite swollen and her whole body ached badly.Just then, she saw him walking into the room, wearing only black shorts over his bare chest.“Hey,” he called in a deep voice as he walked over to the bed.Her heart skipped and she couldn’t bring her face to look at him. She felt shy, guilty and unsure of everything at the moment.He kept silent as he looked at her f

He kept silent for a moment as he thought about Julius' words. He knew Julius could be trusted with a lot of things but the part he was abused by Grace was what he couldn't bring himself to narrate. That was a secret he was planning to die with and right now, he was faced with a dilemma between letting Julius know the truth or keeping it a secret.He thought about Juliet. She was getting pretty close to Julius these days and he was afraid he might spill the whole thing to her. "Eden, it's fine if you're not ready to talk about it," Julius said"No, um, I'm ready," he said and gulped.He took a deep breath and licked his lips nervously."Life in my father's mansion wasn't really nice. I mean, I thought living with Derrick was hell but no, I was wrong. Things only got worse at my father's mansion" he said as he looked at julius' face"Care to share?" He asked curiously and he shook his head"I'm..sorry but that's the part in my life that I don't wanna share right now" he said as he sigh

He felt devastated as he heard the sound of the gate closing behind him. He was thrown into a cell after they attended to his wounds.He felt even more devastated as he saw the two of his boys who were sitting on the floor dejectedly."What awaits us now?" He heard Spider's voice"I don't know, I believe father would have been alerted by now" he said "Don't you think this might implicate him?" Miguel asked anxiously"Yes, and that's what I'm scared of" he said as he sat in their middle."When we get out of here, Ray is gonna pay with his life," Spider said angrily"Wait till we get out first" Miguel said with a smile**As they laid on the floor tiredly, they heard a bang on the gates. Eden stood up immediately and he saw a policeman and Ella at the gate."Mom," he called anxiously as he ran over to the bars of the gates."Eden," she cried and his heart shattered as he saw how disoriented she looked with her hair dangling all over her face and tears dripping from her eyes.She wiped h

As everyone began to disperse, his family ran up to meet him. He looked away from his father and mother and he turned to Juliet."Would that mean, I will be going home if the case is in my favour?" He asked"Yes, and that's the only way you can get out of here" she said and he scoffed"I'm not going home! I'm not going back to that place!" He yelled"Eden, stop being ungrateful for everything your father and sibling have been doing to get you out!" Emilia yelled at him"Ungrateful? Oh, you forgot if it weren't for your stupidity I wouldn't have been here today?" He asked and she tried to slap him but Emilio held her back."Eden!" Juliet yelled at him."I'm not going home, and it's final" he said and walked away with the policeman guarding him.Ella saw him walking away and she approached them."You brainwashers, see what you've done to my son!" Emilia cried as she saw her"You bitch! You think you can take Eden away from us?" Ella said angrily"Oh, you forgot so soon that your criminal

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.

"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

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.

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
DARK OBSESSION The confession 2
"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
