The Mafia Boss’ Successor 37
“Get a doctor!” Eden screamed out of his lungs the moment they both got into their mansion. They had finally gotten back to the house after the number of days they spent in the custody of Vincent and his cruel group.Right from the moment they stepped out of the cell, Eden was certain that Eliana didn’t look great.She looked so pale and for some reasons he couldn’t decipher, she communicated with him less. That was quite strange and scary.And then, she had suddenly started bleeding right before they got to the house. Her eyes were barely opened too and her breathing had become faint.Eden was scared to his bones. The group was in chaos as they tried to call on the attention of a doctor who arrived in no time.Eliana was taken into the room to be examined and after what seemed like ages, the doctor finally came out, with a massive scowl on his face.“How is she? And the baby?” Eden asked, with his heart beating frantically and his palms becoming sweaty.The doctor took in a deep brea

It was a dark day in the mansion. Not only were Eden and Eliana still mourning their child, there was also news that Osvaldo had passed.“I escaped from Vincent’s men, but Osvaldo wasn’t lucky. He died”, the man who had rushed back into the mansion said, panting heavily with bruises and blood stains on every part of his body.Eden was taken aback by this statement and inasmuch as it sounded so true and certain, he wasn’t ready to accept. Osvaldo was not just his right hand man, he was also his friend and someone he considered a friend and companion. They had been through a lot together and he was one person who would always stand by his side, no matter how hard and difficult the situation may be.“And how are you certain that he is dead?” Eden asked with a shaky voice, trying so hard to control his emotions even though it was a lot more difficult than he had thought.“Just as I left, I heard one of Vincent’s men talking about it. He is dead!” The man declared with every convinction in

Eliana was still greatly devastated by Osvaldo’s death. Despite how hard she tried to shove it aside, the need to know what might have caused it delved deeper into her soul and this caused her great restlessness.Eden suspected this and asked her what she was bothered about, but she shoved it aside with stress that came from the latest events in the group.Deep down her heart, she felt the need to discover what might have caused his death, especially when they never got to see his body.At this, she decided to go on a search that may lead her to his body.“Are you going somewhere?” Laurel asked her curiously as she walked closer to her, searching through her eyes as though the answer to her question laid there.Eliana forced a smile to her face, trying so hard to appear sincere and calm.“Just for a walk. I’ve been inside for some days and I felt that some sun on my skin would go a long way in helping me”, Eliana replied calmly, hoping that Laurel would retire back to her room.She wa

Eliana gulped down hard as she closed her eyes to catch her breath. Her heart was breathing heavily as she caught sight of each letter that fell from Laurel’s table.She contemplated between leaving them, or going through them even if they looked that something of high secret and privacy.“Something is wrong and I need to find out what it is!” She said to herself and that became the justification for what she was just about to do.“I write you this letter to let you know that there is still space in my heart, just in case you decide to have a change of heart and work with me. I will make you rich in a way you never expected”, Eliana read out the details of the first letter she just read.Her heart was breathing heavily at this point now as she tried to think of Laurel and the several discussions they always had. She never mentioned something of such to her and now that she learnt of it, her suspicion grew.“Laurel, who are you working for?” Eliana muttered under her breath as she pick

Eliana could barely sleep all through the night. Once it was morning, she went over to Laurel’s room with the intention of apologizing for what she had done earlier.Laurel had been in a bad mood right from the moment Eliana made her aware of her suspicions. She figured out she needed to be careful since Eliana already had her eyes on her. However, she was willing to play innocent all through the game and this made her turn sad and solemn all through the day.Eliana was torn between her instincts and the relationship between her and her sister. The last thing she wanted was something that would cause them to have a terrible fight.However, in the midst of that all, she was not willing to let go of Osvaldo’s killers. She was bent on discovering who it was that killed him and nothing was going to stop her.“Hi Laurel!” Eliana said as she gulped down hard and slowly walked into the room.“I didn’t ask you to enter!” Laurel said, with a voice that spoke of great pain and betrayal.She had

For another time, Celestine visited Vincent. This time, she had tears in her eyes and hope burning in them. Vincent was shocked to see her, but then, decided to remain calm right until she divulged what she had come to say.“Are you going to discard me that way? Did you forget what we shared together?” She asked, with tears dropping out of her eyes.Vincent couldn’t believe his ears. He glared at her intently after which he scoffed and shook his head in disdain.“Aldehard is around and you have the guts to come into my room?” Vincent roared angrily, frightening Celestine who shivered in fear.Her legs were shaking and her body felt as though it was going to give her to the ground at any minute. However, she stayed still as she was bent on getting to the very root of Vincent’s heart.“Please…you can still make things right. You can tell him that you want me and he won’t say a word about this”, Celestine advised and this enraged Vincent to the core. If only she wasn’t carrying as child,

Aldehard stood at the balcony as he gazed at the stars and went down memory lane. He considered himself to be the happiest man on earth, because somehow, his life was beginning to look perfect. He had returned home after being away for a long time and meeting with Celestine who was carrying his child took his joy over the edge.He felt glad and excited that his relationship with Celestine still worked out, even if the distance when he was away made them sway off for while.And now, they were married and expecting a child.A feeling of gladness engulfed him when he thought of how he had taken down a drug baron for Vincent, automatically receiving a promise from him. He was excited that he was able to make use of that favour for the safety of his child. He knew how dangerous the quest was and the last thing he wanted was getting his family involved in the game.Celestine on the other hand was sitting on a couch that faced the balcony where Aldehard stood. She could watch him closely and

All through the moment Aldehard realized that Celestine was pregnant, his core prayers were that she would have a healthy child. And now, they had a healthy child but their happiness was short lived by the utterance made by Celestine.“What?” Aldehard asked again as he threw an unbelievable gaze across to Celestine who didn’t seem to be concerned or worried over what she had just said.Vincent was not left out in the surprise. He had asked her to kill off every thoughts about the both of them. Seeing her talk about it now made him raged and speechless.“I want to get married to Vincent!” Celestine said again, this time, louder than the first and with a more serious look on her face.Aldehard was mad and furious. He stared at her fiercely, hoping that she would reverse what she had just said.She remained still , gazing at the both of them and meaning every single word that she had just uttered.“This is crazy! How dare you make such an utterance?” Vincent yelled out of his lungs, with
