Eliana was in her room one morning, pondering over everything that had happened in past few days. A big frown made way to her face when she recalled the video Osvaldo made and how difficult it was to believe everything that was currently unfolding.Just then, she heard a small knock on her door. Her heart skipped as she went over to the bag of the door and grabbed a log of wood she had gotten to serve as a weapon.The village was quite small, but still, with enough reasons to be in fright. The warning letter she received from the minute she stepped foot in the village simply made her realize the need to be extremely careful.“Who’s there?” Eliana asked, with her hands tightly on the log of wood.“It’s the woman you spoke with yesterday. Hope I’m welcomed?” She asked from the other end of the door.Eliana took in a deep breath and opened up the door, quickly dropping the weapon at the corner to avoid looking paranoid.The woman walked into the room and looked around, with Eliana lookin
“Wait! I would love to have a moment with the bride”, Eliana suddenly said as she stepped out of where she was hiding, causing them to give her a suspicious gaze.“I’m no threat or anything of such, but the bride would want to hear every single thing I have to say at the moment. It’s related to not wanting to get married to a man you don’t love”, Eliana explained and this triggered the bride’s interest.Inasmuch as the ladies around were giving the bride some signals and eye gestures, she wasn’t willing to walk away without hearing what Eliana had to say.“Let’s go back inside”, the bride said and walked back into the room, with Eliana following her.The moment they were inside the room, Eliana locked the door behind them and stared at the bride intently.“I know what you are going through. And permit me to say that I understand too because I passed through every bit of it,” Eliana said as she looked at the bride who was staring at her as though she were a lecturer.“Really? Did you g
Eliana returned back to the country after being sure that she had a grip of what the treasure entailed. She had the key that looked like what Eden wanted in her possession and that prompted her to return home to meet with him.She had a lot going through her mind, a lot of things to say to him and also, a lot of plans for Laurel. She knew that she had to think of what to do about Laurel, even if she was her sister and at such, promised to reveal everything to Eden who would help her out.Eden walked into the room to meet Eliana sitting on the couch and lost in thoughts. He had been at his company when he heard the news of her return. That caused him to head back to the house, even if he was barely done with what he was doing.“Eliana!” Eden called out in surprise as he walked over to her and pulled her into a warm hug.Eliana smiled at him and took in a deep breath. It’s been a rough couple of days in her life, but she was glad that Eden was fine and great.“I’m glad to see you again.
Aldehard jumped out of the bushes and grabbed her right until he took her out of the road. The trailer went past her with a full speed and that was when she realized that she would have been dead if he didn’t come to help.“Aldehard?” She asked herself for the hundredth time, staring at him intently and trusting to decipher how possible it was that he had come to save her.“Why did you save me?” Eliana asked Aldehard who was breathing heavily and looking towards the direction of the trailer.It was clear that whosoever it was driving that trailer had a mission to kill Eliana.“Do you have an idea of who it might be in that trailer?” Aldehard asked Eliana who was still gazing at him as though she have just seen a ghost.She gulped down hard and shook his head negatively while he scoffed and nodded. He wasn’t quite surprised to see her gazing at him in such manner.He was her core enemy and seeing that he had been the one to save her was definitely alarming.Eliana took a step backwards
Eliana walked up to Eden and together, they gazed at the young boy who was currently claiming to be Osvaldo’s son.Eden scoffed as he shook his head in disdain. It wasn’t surprising to see young boys who would come over to claim people as their fathers since they had nothing else to do.“This is not a place where you walk into to throw jokes. I would advice you to walk out of here before I get mad at you!” Eden yelled angrily while Eliana tried to calm him down.It was very strange to see such happening, especially when it wasn’t close to what they thought of or imagined.“Who’s your father, young boy?” Eliana asked and this made him to start laughing aloud. He gestured for some other men who were obviously hiding somewhere around the gate.The men were heavily built, with guns in their hands.Eden’s men made to strike, but Eliana signaled on them to hold on.The men walked over to the young boy who seemed to be their leader or master.“Tell them how old I am”, the young boy said to o
It was a moody day at the mansion. Eliana had suggested that they hold a memorial service for Osvaldo, to honour him and acknowledge him for all he did for them.Everyone at the house came out, clad in black and wearing solemn looks on their faces. Eden could see a well of tears in Eliana’s hands as he held her calmly and assured her me that everything was going to be okay.She took in a deep breath as the series of things she came across during her treaure hunt came back to her memories.“Do you think that he may still be alive?” She asked Eden who held her firmly and stared at her.He trailed off in his thoughts and after what seemed like ages, he finally shook his head negatively.“There is no way he would still be alive. I mean, you saw his body”, Eden reminded Eliana who quickly nodded her head in affirmation.He was right. She had seen his body that they she went out in search of clues of what might have happened to him.They lit candles one after the other after which the poure
Eliana winced in pain hours into their journey. She held on to her stomach that was beginning to bleed as a result of the stress that they’ve been exposed to.It came from the place where Laurel had stabbed her some weeks ago. It was quite strange that almost every time, the injury tore open.“I’m sorry. You have to be patient right until we get to the town. There should be a doctor there”, Eden said as he caressed her cheeks lovingly in a bid to suppress the pain that she currently felt.Eliana took in a deep breath and nodded. Many things clouded her heart and she couldn’t help but break into quite sobs. Why was her life far from being perfect even if she has always strived for perfection?All her life, she usually imagined the type of woman she wanted to be. In her imaginations, she saw herself being a lovely mother to young children and having a home where they all come back to after their long day.That was the type of life she envisioned for herself. However, she got the direct
Silence rented the atmosphere as each of them stared at each other. Eden was still trying to solve the puzzle that was set before him, but each attempt he made to achieve that failed.“Osvaldo’s daughter?” He asked as he turned to look at Eliana who was also as shocked as he was.Eliana scoffed and gave the lady a questioning glare.“First, it was Osvaldo’s son and now his daughter?” Eliana asked as she shook her head negatively and stood to her feet to leave.It was beginning to look like a joke and she didn’t want to be a part of it.“I can show you an evidence”, the young lady said after which she dipped her hand into her bag and brought out a phone.“Slide through the gallery”, she said to Eliana who still had a massive look of doubt in her eyes. She turned to look at Eden who gestured for her to go ahead and do as the lady had said.Eliana sank into the chair and picked up the phone which she started scanning through. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw series of pictures o
