The Mafia Boss’ Successor 46
Elaina laid on the bed, with Eden who was snoring lightly beside her. She glared at him silently as she wondered how he was going to feel when she finally tells him that Laurel might be a very big suspect.She needed no one to tell her that he wasn’t going to believe it since he was among the people who believed that Laurel was among the best family on earth.Eliana sighed again as she trailed off in thoughts and started thinking about every single thing that had happened along the way right when she went on her quest to find the killers of Osvaldo.Each clue pointed at Laurel and in addition to that, her behavior was beginning to become something different and this surprised Elaina greatly.This was a burden she prepared herself to carry and at the moment, she wasn’t willing to let Eden know about it; at least, until she was sure that it was the right thing.Her thoughts were distorted by the sound of a loud scream coming from outside. She tapped Eden and together, they barged out of

Eliana quickly went over to Eden the moment the men walked into the room where they were certain the treasure was hidden.“It’s not there”, she whispered into Eden’s ears, causing him to open his eyes in surprise.He had thought that the key was still in that particular room, since that was where he had hidden it. However, hearing that Eliana had taken it elsewhere made his heart get relieved.“Did you know that they would be coming?” He asked Eliana who shook her head negatively.It was still strange and since she wasn’t so sure of her facts, she decided to keep mute. There was no way she could tell him that she took it away from the room because she has seen Laurel in the room. It would only make her look so stupid and crazy…“I just felt the need to take it away from there. I’m glad my feelings helped out in saving it”, she lied with a small smile in her face.One of the men quickly swirled around and looked at them, catching a glimpse of a smile on Elaina face. He walked up to the

Goosebumps filled Eliana’s skin the moment she picked up the letter and took a glance at what it contained. From the outer part of the letter, she was certain that the content wasn’t going to be anything nice. This was because of the drop of blood that was right on top of the letter.Elaina was frightened to the core as she opened the letter with a shaky hands, hoping that whatever it was wouldn’t be a threat to her life.“Our eyes are on you!” Those were the words written on the letter. It was short, but enough to send cold shivers running down her spine.Fresh beads of sweats broke out on her forehead just as she dropped the letter to the ground.Someone was following her and the person was clearly after the treasure. Elaina was blank on how to react at the moment, but in the next minutes, she broke into tears that transited to loud sobs.She was scared to her bones and the worst was that she was alone, without the company of anyone around. This was unbelievable. She had been so dis

Laurel was already beginning to feel extremely uncomfortable with how tensed the air around her was. She had thought that telling Eden about how Eliana was planning to get the treaure would make him get closer to her. However, it ended up taking him far from her, and rather than calling her to have conversations with her like before, he totally ignored her.She was left all to herself and she needed no one to tell her that it was a very bad place to be. Since her heart and attention was still on her treasure, there was need to be close to either Eden or Eliana. But then, that turned out to be going sour.She tossed on her bed for the hundredth time and almost immediately, an idea slipped into her head. She picked out her phone and quickly dialed a number, with a big smile dancing on her lips. Since there was no way to get close to Eden or Eliana, she needed a partner and she knew the perfect person to have that position in her life.Laurel agreed to meet with one of the top business m

Eden woke up to a phone call that sent his heart dropping in fear and anxiety. He had lost most of his investors and his company was already at the brink of collapsing.He bumped into Laurel at the doorway. Clearly, she was paying attention to his conversation and beginning to feel guilty about all what she had done to him.Everything was her fault and a slight introduction of Eden to the man she called her boyfriend caused Eden his company.She knew that she needed to make things right. She was blank on what to do or how to go about it, but she promised herself to put everything back to place.Eden walked into the company, with a big frown on his face and his face red with anger. He barged into his office and met Matthias who was sitting on the chair, with his legs crossed. He had a mischievous grin on his face and this stood as an indication that he was up to something.“Why are you here?” Eden asked as he tried so hard to stop himself from hitting him almost immediately.Matthias l

“I would prefer to be alone”, Eden replied, not willing to stare at Laurel who was looking at him intently.Laurel took in a deep breath and stayed mute. They seemed to be lost in their thoughts and after what seemed like ages, she finally spoke up.“I think I should tell you that I’m the only one you can trust in all of these. This mission is so hard and you need me to help you in it”, Laurel said, trying so hard to sound convincing.Eden scoffed and turned his head to look at her for a minute. Memories of how Eliana had told him to keep watch and observe Laurel came rushing into his head and for a minute, he was blank on what to say or how to react.“You were with Matthia earlier”, Eden said to Laurel who widened her eyes in surprise.She never thought that he would see her and at this point, she tried to think of the best answer to give to him.“Well…I saw the news that trended about you and how you turned out to be a mafia lord. I knew that Matthia must have caused it”, Laurel exp

Eden was walking around the house the next day. This seemed to be his frequent form of therapy since Eliana was not close to him and he was yet to make Laurel someone who he could freely talk to.At this, he walked around the house to free his mind from the countless thoughts that swirled around it.He entered into a room in the house which he never saw before. He was quite shocked, especially because he had thought that he had a tour around the house before he moved in.Apparently, the room was in a hidden part of the house and this made it quite difficult for anyone to catch sight of it without proper observation.“What is this?” He asked himself as he peeked into the room to meet a place filled with darkness. He flipped the switch and to his utmost shock and surprise, it wasn’t functioning.It seemed as though that was the only room that got disconnected from power supply since every other room was properly lit.“What is this place?” He asked himself again, turning on his phone lig

They got to Arnold’s house and Eden quickly made his way to the secret room which he had seen the drawing on the paper.Laurel followed him closely, with a book and paper in her hands since she had become his business manager.Eden had only given her that role since he wouldn’t want her to feel so lonely. Eliana wasn’t in the house and Osvaldo had died.Giving her that job would be a form of therapy to help her relieve her misery. That was his thoughts and idea…Laurel tried so hard to hide the excitement that was burning within her. She couldn’t recall the last time she felt this elated and this was because she was close to finding a treaure that would change the course of her life forever.Eden picked out a paper and pen which he had in his pockets, causing Laurel’s eyes to widen in surprise.She stared at him intently, trying to decipher why he had a paper and pen in his hands when she was there to record things with him.Eden only smiled at her and got busy with what he was doing.
