Eliana woke up feeling not so great. She turned to the side of the bed, but realized that Eden was nowhere in sight. She knew that he must have had an emergency to take care of since that was the order of things for a while now. He had gotten so busy that she hardly got to meet him on the bed.She got off the bed and took a quick shower after which she decided to meet with Laurel.Laurel was at the clothline, arranging some clothes on it and smiling widely. Eliana waved and called out her name just as she walked over to meet with her.However, just as she walked, she felt her head swirling and in a split second, she landed to the ground with a thud.Laurel dropped the clothes she was arranging and rushed over to her, with great panic in her eyes and voice. She called out to Eliana, tapping her continuously and hoping that she would wake up, but she was unconscious.At this, she rushed her to the house and called for a nurse.In no time, Eliana woke up and met the smiles on both the fa
The wine glass dropped from Eden’s brother’s hand the moment Eliana walked into the room. She had been passing through the hall way when she got distracted by some hushed voices that came from one of the many rooms. At first, she made to shove it aside, but realizing that it was a suspicious move, she decided to satisfy her curiosity.At this, she opened the door, without knocking or giving any notice.“Ohh! Eliana”, Eden’s brother said with a smile on his face as he tried to relax his nerves.Eliana was the last person he expected to see and seeing how she barged in while he was in the middle of a crucial discussion with his mother made him get highly uncomfortable.“Is everything okay?” Eliana asked as she scanned through their faces, wondering why they were gazing at her as though they’ve just seen a ghost.Eden’s brother broke into a loud and mysterious round of laughter, after which he nodded in affirmation.“We are good! Just having a little chat”, his mother said after a while.
Eden was shocked to his bones the moment he got informed about his brother’s death.Inasmuch as they were hardly close, he still felt the bond since they were brother’s afterall.Osvaldo could barely look into his eyes since he got engulfed by guilt and at that, he walked up to him the moment they got done with the funeral.He explained how he had discovered his brother’s plot and plans to get hold of the key. He went further to talk about the room where they she found the map that contained the vivid direction to every house he owned in the country.The part of the story that broke Eden to the core was the part where Osvaldo mentioned how his brother was always reporting to Aldehard. That simply meant that he was also working for Vincent who was their core enemy.Eden felt a pang of betrayal piercing through his heart, but he took in a deep breath and got a grip of himself immediately.He quickly bought a house for his parents since he wouldn’t want any issues arising from their pres
A slight ruffling sound startled the group. Eden quickly swirled around to take note of who or what may be on their troll.To his greatest surprise, he caught sight of a very familiar pair of eyes that dazzled even in the darkness of the night.“Eliana!” He screamed out of the lungs and rushed over to the bush, even if his men thought that he had lost his mind.He knew what he had just seen and didn’t care about their different thoughts. To their utmost dismay, Eliana stood before them with a bright smile on her lips.“What are you doing here?” He asked as he pulled her away to have a serious conversation with her.It was hard to decipher why she decided to follow them, even if she knew how risky the journey could turn out to be.“I decided to come with you!” Eliana said with another bright smile that made Eden sigh in shock.He gazed at her again, hoping that it wasn’t just a mere dream, but again, she stood there and smiled at him.“You need to go back! I would place one of my men i
Eliana went out to take a small walk. It was quite difficult to take aside the trauma that haunted her soul after the last event that happened in her life. She was most concerned about her child and how that single event would have cost an end of him.It was a bad decision and somehow, she regretted indulging in it. However, she was glad that everything was fine with her child and she couldn’t wait for the day when she would finally meet with him.Her legs collided with a stone on the ground immediately, but just when she was about to travel down to the ground, a firm hand held her.She took in a deep sigh of relief as she swirled around to find Osvaldo’s worried pair of eyes searching through hers.“You should be a lot more careful…especially at this point”, Osvaldo advised while she nodded her head in understanding. He was right afterall. Her time of birth was close and everyone advised her to be extra careful while carrying out every activity.“Thank you!” Eliana mouthed after whic
It was the second day of searching for a clue that would lead to the treasure. This time, Eliana suggested that only her and Eden makes the search in the mansion. She couldn’t ascertain her reason for making such suggestion, but she wanted to do it with just her husband.Osvaldo and the rest of the team awaited them outside the mansion, where they stood firmly and looked out in case of threats or any form of ambush.They lowered their guards after a while, because they suspected that nothing could go wrong since the mansion was located in an area that was hardly accessible by other people.Eliana walked further into the house as she gazed around intently, looking for slight clues or things that looked different and strange.“You know, we searched all through this place yesterday”, Eden said as he yawned tiredly.Eliana nodded her head in understanding and took in a deep breath.“I want to do my own search today. I have a feeling that we would find something!” She said with a wide smil
“Something is not here!” Eliana suddenly said, disrupting the meeting and causing everyone to stare at her with a surprised gaze on their faces. She had been patient all through the meeting, listening to every detail Eden laid forth.But then, when it got to the point where he kept showing them each document that backed up his findings, she realized that something was missing.The worst thing laid in the fact that the particular missing thing was the main thing that would lead them to the treaure.“The map! It’s important”, Eliana said as he jerked to her feet.Eden was shocked to his bones as he returned his gaze to the series of books and documents that laid before him. He surfed through each of them, but to his utmost dismay, the map was not there.“That map had the image of the artifact right at the middle of it. It simply meant that it was going to lead us to the treaure!” Eliana said to prove her point and Eden nodded in affirmation.She was right and they knew it. The image of
They were pushed into a van, with their eyes covered with blindfolds. The only thing Eden felt was the movement of the van and from how narrow the road became, it was clear that they were being taken to a secret and creepy hideout. They finally reached their destination and Vincent’s men pulled them out of the van forcefully.Eliana groaned each time she was mishandled while Eden kept yelling and asking them to let go of Eliana, but none of the men paid heed to his words. They pulled her forcefully right until she was dropped at the cell.Eden couldn’t move, neither could he do anything since he was bound in fierce chains that kept his hands restricted to a particular position.Vincent was always smart and just again, he was able to find them out right before they got to the point of finding the treaure.Eden was pissed to the core, but then, couldn’t do anything at the moment since he wasn’t sure that his strength could match up to that of Vincent.The moment the dropped them at the
