DARK OBSESSION Legacy
The sun shone radiantly and the chirps of birds could be heard around the garden. The smell of fresh flowers filled the air as a Cool breeze swept across the trees and flowers."How's she doing?" He asked as he poured whiskey into his glass.Julius smiled as he sipped from his drink."She's fine. I took her out for dinner last night," he said and Eden chuckled"You two are getting along easily" he said as he sipped from his drink"I guess we both enjoyed the dinner though," he said and they both smiled."You know, Juliet is the most amazing woman I've ever come across. I've never seen a woman so concerned about the welfare of her family" he saidHe sighed and looked out of the garden."Eden, don't you think it's high time you do what makes her happy?" He asked"It's not as easy as you think. I can't abandon the gang" he saidJulius smiled and licked his lips"And so, you're not planning to have a family for the rest of your life?" He asked"No. The gang is my family. You guys are my fa

He heard a knock on the door and he sat up on the bed. He ran his palm into his rough hair and let out a sigh.He stood up and walked over to the door. As he opened the door, he froze for a moment as he saw Jessica standing in front of the door, dressed in a black velvet gown that stopped above her knees.She gulped as she saw his face and her eyes narrowed to his bare chest. She lowered her gaze to the floor and he couldn't help but gaze at her for a moment with his eyes full of emotions."May I?" She asked after a few seconds of silence"Yeah..um..yeah.." he stammered as he made way for her to come in.She walked into the room and he followed behind her. She stood in the middle of the room and he stopped behind her as she turned to face him. His heart flinched as he saw her pale face which was cast by depression. He felt guilty for a moment and he gulped."I'm here to let you know of my decision" she said and his heart skipped."You know, the other day, you let me walk away without a

He marched into the foyer angrily with his feet storming the floor heavily. He unbuttoned his dress carelessly as he stormed up the stairs with the boys watching him from the foyer.Pedri stood up from the bar where he sat and followed after him immediately."Boss," he called as he walked into the room and found him pacing about."How did it go?" He asked"I need to clear my head. It didn't go well" he said as he paced around the room.Pedri walked to the fridge and brought a bottle of whiskey which he quickly poured in a glass."Here," he said as he handed the glass to him.As he sipped from the glass, his nerves relaxed and he began to walk slowly."How did it go?" He asked again"He said all sorts of things to me. If it weren't for the fact that his daughter and I were together, can he really withstand my presence? Who dares speak to the king in such a manner?!" He thundered "No one. Right now, we need to think of the next decision to make. Maybe he needs to be taken care of the ot

He walked into the large room which looked more like a hall. In the room was a large table and chairs on both sides of the table. Men in Black suits could be seen seated on both sides of the table with their attention focused on him as he walked into the room ardently.He took his seat in the king's chair at the middle of the table and the men stood up to do obeisance to him.He sighed and looked at their faces as they all sat down."You all know how I've devoted my life serving this gang all through the years. With enough sacrifices and doggedness, I've been able to pull the gang up to this level it is today. Without the support of you guys, none of this would have been possible.With a heavy heart, I wanna announce to you all that I would be moving away for sometime.

He heard his phone ringing on the bed as he walked into the room with Spider and Pedri following behind him. "Hey baby, are you set?" He asked as he picked up the call"Yes, I'm about to get out. Lucia is out with my luggage" Jessica's voice came through"Alright, I'll be out soon" he said and hung up."Boss, you're looking good," Pedri commented as he adjusted the collar of Eden's white short sleeve which he wore under denim blue jeans."Thanks," he said with a smile. "The new King" he said as he turned to Spider who was behind Pedri."Boss," he said with humility as he walked over to him."I'll miss you guys" he said with a smile "We will miss you too," Pedri said"Um…Sara's downstairs looking for you. You didn't let her know you were moving out" Spider said"Oh, yeah that's right.

He raised his head up from the table as he heard the door open. He felt relieved as he saw Juliet and Julius walking into the room hastily."Eden," she cried as she walked over to the table"Juliet" he muttered sadly as he saw how emotional she looked."How did you get in?" He asked as he looked at their faces"They won't dare resist us entry, considering our status in the state" she said and Julius nodded"What is going on Eden? How did it get to this?" He asked in surprise"Seriously, I don't know what's going on. We were at the boarding area when the officers approached me, saying they found 2.5kg cocaine in my possession" he relatedJuliet sighed and licked her lips"How did it get into your bag?" She asked"I don't know!" He yelled"Calm down," Julius said as he looked at his face"Are you sure you don't know how it got in there?" Juliet asked again"Are you suspecting I put it there?" He asked angrily and she kept silent."I don't do drugs. And if I'm to smuggle drugs out of the

As he was led into the interrogation room, his eyes caught with the two middle aged uniformed men sitting on the arm chairs facing the table. He could see how stiff their faces were and he knew what he was up against.He was led to the seat opposite the men and he cleared his throat as he sat down, facing them."Mr Smith, we received an emergency call right this afternoon about the explosion of your mansion located at St Mark's Lane, Chimalpa. It happened to be at the same time our men were on their way for an investigation at your mansion. We wanna know why the building exploded at the same day of your arrest and what you know about the explosion" the Agent with blonde hair relatedHe raised his face to look at the men in surprise. "There was an explosion at the mansion?" He asked in confusion"Spare us that crap! We're used to such tricks.

"Can we really trust this guy?" He asked as he looked out of the car window into the neighborhood which was dark and quiet."Yes, he's the closest to Eden" she replied tiredly with her head leaning on the car seat.He looked at her face and saw how exhausted she was looking. The atmosphere was cold and she was wearing a black thick vintage coat with a black head warmer."I'm sorry for everything you have been through. Believe me, it's gonna be fine, no matter what happens" he said tenderly as he looked at the side of her faceShe exhaled and placed her arms akimbo."You know, what is killing me right now is the fact that he's giving up so easily. He is prepared to go to prison" she saidHe gulped and licked his lips."Whatever happens, we just hope he is fine and we will respect whatever decision he takes" he said and she looked at him."I know he's done so many bad things, but I don't want him to go to prison" she criedHe took hold of her hand and looked into her eyes."You've done a

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.

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

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.

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.

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
