The nanny returned to visit them some days later. Eliana was still in a mood that was difficult to be appeased while Eden tried as hard as he could to make her feel better.It was still hard to come in terms with the fact that her family was involved in something as cruel and wicked as money laundering and getting wealthy through illegal means.“I’m sure the man told you a lot”, the nanny said to Eliana who took in a deep breath and nodded her head in affirmation.Tears welled up in her eyes again, but Eden consoled her and made her see the reason why she needed to be strong.“You should understand why Arnold fled from the house”, the nanny said and immediately, they both turned their heads to look at her.Eliana was quite exhausted with the series of information which she had been laying her hands on lately. Somehow, she wanted to let go of everything and return to the area of her life where she didn’t bother much about things like that.However, this concerned her and her family as

As Elaina and Eden take time to recover from the events that have unfolded, they began to reflect on their past and the decisions that led them to this point.“I feel like every single person who I came across betrayed me”, Eliana said to Eden and Emily who were sitting across her.Her legs were bandaged since the effect of the injury from the last night was still fresh.She winced in pain and held on the the leg again, with tears streaming down her eyes.“Maybe, we shouldn’t have gone through this path of discovering the treaure. Perhaps, it would have saved me the pain my heart feel at the moment”, Eliana said and gulped down hard.Her eyes flickered in pain and Eden caressed her lovingly. They stayed mute after what seemed like ages and afterwards, Emily stood to her feet.“I should go check on the mineral mine. I feel like there are things we have to see that we haven’t”, Emily said to Eliana and Eden who looked at her with shock on their faces.After several minutes of arguments,

Eden resolved to staying low for the night right until it was morning. He didn’t want them to risk leaving the house at the dead of the night just because of what Emily had said to them. Perhaps, he didn’t fully trust her yet.The next morning, they decided to leave the city and head over to some other place where they can settle down and start their new lives.“Where do you think you are going to?” They heard a voice that made them stop right in their tracks.It was still 5:am in the morning and the last thing Eden could think of was getting obstructed by someone.“Who is that?” Eliana asked in a voice that sounded like a whisper.They decided to keep walking away and pretending as though the voice they heard wasn’t talking to them.“Not another step or that would be the end for you!” Another voice yelled and that was when the three of them stopped in their tracks.They swirled around and found the enraged faces of about fifteen men who had a lamp in their hands.Emily yelped quietly

The men returned them back to the house while Eliana couldn’t stop staring at Eden. She seemed to have a lot of questions swirling around her head and the more she tried to understand, the more confused she became.“How are we going to sell the land? You are aware that we have no idea of how to get the documents?” Eliana whispered to Eden who was currently lost in his personal thought.He nodded his head in affirmation after which he took in a deep breath and looked away. That was all he could do at the moment since Eliana was at the verge of getting killed.“What are we going to do now?” Eliana asked Eden just as she wiped off the sweats that had formed on her forehead.“We have to get the documents and sell the land according to his demands. We can’t fight him or do anything of such at this point”, Eden noted.The man in question had every right to be angry at the moment. He had lost his only son as a result of the mine and the only thing they could do was appease him and do whateve

The fight between Eden and Vincent began and in a moment, Eden was laying on the ground and at the mercy of Vincent’s gun.Just then, the leader of the group walked into the scene, together with Eliana and some of Eden’s men. This shocked Vincent to the core because he had no idea that Eden had come into the scene with other people.His men tried to fight, but the force that came from the opposition was quite a lot to handle.In the midst of the chaos, Eden made his way into Vincent’s quarters. He had to remember that he had come in, not to fight with Vincent, but to claim the properties.Eliana on the other hand could barely fight. All she had to do was call on the authorities and plead with them to come over and intervene in the situation.Eden was successful with his plan because after several minutes of searching through Vincent’s room, he found the documents in a hidden corner.He picked it up and dashed out of the room. However, Vincent was already waiting at the exit.“Not so f

Just like they always say that injuries might heal, but the scars would remain. This was the case of the mother whom Eden and Eliana went over to visit.Her face was wrinkled and merely looking at her, one could easily point out how she hardly took care of herself.Adam led them into the apartment and stared at the woman who looked up with an expression that showed how displeased she was with their presence.“What are you doing here? And who are you?” She asked the three of them who stood before her, with pitiful stares on their faces.Eden made to gesture for Adam to mind what he was about to say, but right before he did that, Adam already spewed the details.“They are somehow related to the mine. They weren’t in ownership of it all these while, but they’ve come to make amends”, Adam explained to the woman whose face became tighter.Eliana gulped down hard and stepped forward, trying so hard to appear calm, even if the air was anything but calm.“We are here as your friends. All we h

The coming days seemed to be quite normal for both Eliana and Eden. After receiving the letter and not being able to ascertain who it came from, they resolved to treating it as a less important issue while focusing on their lives and charity organization.“Are you still worried about it?” Eden asked Eliana who was lost in thoughts just as she sat at the balcony, with a cup of coffee in her hands.She had tried to take her heart off the whole drama, but she couldn’t deny that she was worried about the strange letter.“Who is the letter from?” Eliana asked the one question that was yet to leave her heart ever since that day.Vincent was meant to be in the prison and that was the basis for their confusion. As long as they were concerned, the only enemies they had at the moment was Vincent and he wasn’t around.“You think Vincent is out of jail?” Eliana asked Eden again, with a fear stricken face.Eden gulped down hard and took in a deep breadth, after which she sighed.“I have no idea.

Eliana went on with the first plan she had at hand. Inasmuch as she wasn’t the major person carrying it, she was there to suspect each and everything that was been done.Luckily, they were able to infiltrate Vincent’s quarters to carry out the plans they prepared all through the night.They planned to add something into Vincent’s men meal…something that would leave them weak and unable to fight.They were able to do that for almost Fifty men that were present in the house.What Eliana did was simple…While the cooks were busy in the kitchen, she was able to set the warehouse that wasn’t far from the house on fire. This came in as a distraction for both Vincent, his men and every other person in the pack and in a split second, they all ran out of their different locations.Vincent wore a big frown on his face the moment he saw the house that was currently on fire. He could tell that it was a plan from Eden and Eliana, but he couldn’t conclude on that since there wasn’t any sign of them

Celestina stood at the front of the house as she looked around and observed his empty it was the moment. Aldehard wasn’t anywhere close and from the rumors she heard, he was dead.Her throat tightened as she went over her life and thought of how everything changed because of Vincent. Even if she willingly gave in and had sex with him, she was beginning to feel that he only took an advantage of her.Hate engulfed her soul as she thought of means to carry out her revenge against him. He had denied her solely and even threatened to kill her and the child.Each and everyday, she recalled memories of the different times she went over to meet with Vincent, pleading with him to accept her and the child.She also remembered that he had told her to get rid of the child if it was going to come against her and Aldehard.Her fists clenched in rage as she took in a deep breath and picked up her coat. Ever since the wedding with Aldehard, she barely had peace. She was always clouded with thoughts o

Despite all what Eliana tried to say to Celestine against having a revenge, she was still bent on carrying out her revenge quest.This caused her to find out details about Vincent and when she heard that he returned to his mansion, she set out to meet him.“Where are you heading to?” Eliana has asked her the moment she revealed that she would be traveling.Eliana had a suspicion look on her face, especially because Celestine didn’t mention anything relating to who she wanted to have her revenge on.“About the other night, you were so keen to decide if you wanted a revenge. Did you decide to go on with it?” Eliana asked as she searched through her eyes as though the answer to her question laid there.Celestine took in a deep breath after which she wore a big smile and pulled Eliana into a warm hug.“I took your advice to heart and trust me when I say that I’m not making any plans to carry out any form of revenge on anyone”, Celestine said as she quickly darted her eyes away from Eliana
