As Elaina stood at a corner of the huge hall, staring at everyone, as they walked around with so much pride and elegance. She couldn't take her hands off the diamond necklace around her neck. It was too heavy on her neck, but still, it was still hard for her to keep her hands off it. The whole thing was like a dream to her, and she couldn't believe that the necklace actually belonged to her. It was way too good to be true."How did this happen?" Elaina asked herself, and she stole a quick glance at the diamond necklace. The whole thing happened so fast, and she was sure that if she didn't get an explanation about the whole...process, then she would end up losing her mind. The diamond on her neck was worth half a million dollars, Elaina guessed, and touched it again."Or even more expensive than that," she thought out loud, and decided to fix her gaze on the smart waitress, who had been walking around for the past five minutes.Eden was just getting called by so many people that he did
"Congratulations, Eden! Wow, I'm so shocked!" Elaina exclaimed, and placed her palms over her mouth, not minding her lipstick this time. She pulled Eden closer, and wrapped her hands around him. Eden reciprocated the gesture, and he wrapped his hands around her slender waist too. The hug lasted for about one minute, and it felt like the whole world was at a stand still, with the way everyone kept on cheering for only them.Elaina felt so special, and she even felt more special when she realised that she would be known by many people, because of the new title given to Eden. She couldn't have been happier. It felt like all her wishes were going to come to pass that day, and she was ready for it all!"Come on, let's go!" Eden said to Elaina, and he led her down the little steps, leading to the big stage. As they walked back to their position, cheers of excitement and congratulations could be heard by Elaina and Eden.They got off stage, and laurel was the first one to approach them. She
"Hey, are you okay?" Elaina said to Eden, when she noticed the look of grief on his face. Eden had been trying to hide his grief for the past thirty minutes, but looking at Vincent and men was making it harder, and he could no longer hide the fact that his heart was broken into so many pieces, pieces that could never be put together again."Come on, answer me!" Elaina shook Eden by his shoulders, and took his face into hers. Eden didn't say anything. Well, what could he say? He couldn't just start telling her the whole story at that spot, he was sure that she wouldn't even understand at all. He was the only one that understood everything. "Yes, I'm fine. I'm just a bit...tired." Eden managed to say through gritted teeth.Elaina gave him a small out, before leading him to a chair. She took the one that was beside it too, and started rubbing his head like he was a child. She was trying so hard to make sure that he felt better, because she had a feeling that there was something really wr
Eden was happy about the new life that was ahead of them, but instead of celebrating with his wife - Elaina, he was mostly concerned with the situation of the people that were at the event. He couldn't stop wondering if they all got home safely, after what happened with Vincent and his men.The issue with Vincent and his men was another issue on its own, one that he planned to tackle after making sure that nobody lost their lives after the inauguration event.Eden was happy that Elaina wasn't in the room, as she left a few minutes ago, to prepare dinner. He decided to seize that opportunity to call his manager, and make sure everything went well. He rested against the room's door, as he waited for the call to be picked at the other side of it. He was slowly losing his patience, and he swore under his breath to fire the manager if he didn't pick the call after the second ring.Fortunately for the manager, he managed to pick the call after the second ring. "It's fine, you don't have to
Elaina had been hurt by her family members, but she also wanted to break one of her newly made rules, which was to never allow anyone to manipulate her. She hated her family, but helping them had been on her mind since Eden told her to never help them with anything. The fact that they literally had to watch them enjoying their new lives, while they suffered, made Elaina's heart clench against her chest, and she suspected that she would betray Eden and pick them over him. She just prayed that that day never comes, because if it does...It soon became Eden and Elaina's routine to leave the house early and get home late, and they loved it that way. Their lives were low-key, but they were still spending money too at the same time. Eden has been thinking about the promise he made to himself, which was to avenge Arnold's death, but he didn't know how he wanted to go about it. He wasn't even interested in telling Elaina about it, because he knew that if he did, she would definitely discourag
The goons were sick and tired of going back and forth with Eden, because he tried having a deal with them to hand the key over to him for a huge sum of money. With the way the goons kept on refusing to accept the offer, Eden was now sure that the key was really important. After scaring everyone for a few more minutes, they tried escaping, but Osvaldo grabbed one of their legs, and his mouth instantly had a business with the back of the boss's shoe.That made a few drops of blood drop from his busted lip, but he was happy to see that he was still alive, even though his lips were dead. Immediately the goons left the meeting room, Eden put a call to the security men, asking them how the hell the goons were able to get into the company. The security men were as clueless as Eden, they didn't know how the goons managed to get in, but they were determined to catch them the moment they got out. They even promised to call Eden the moment they caught up with them. When the workers were sure tha
"So, it's a deal?" Richard stood up, and stretched his hand forward to shake Vincent, but he got Vincent's cigarette on his hand instead. He didn't say anything to Vincent, because he was scared of him. Vincent had agreed to help him to take revenge on Eden on one condition: he would be paid a huge sum of money after getting a share of the company. Richard instantly agreed, because he was planning on betraying Vincent after the revenge was done. The rest of that day went really well for Richard, as he couldn't stop thinking about the looks on Eden's face, when he saw that Richard had arrived, but he didn't come alone. *********************Elaina was feeling weird that night. She couldn't explain how she was feeling to Eden, because she didn't know what was wrong with her. Her temperature was high and her eyes burned whenever the light got turned on. Eden suspected that she had a fever and he told her to lay down and rest for a while, before she finally slept off. H
There was a sound of explosion, startling every single person who was present in the abandoned house. It seemed to have come from a close distance and this made them certain that they had company. This was the perfect plan Eden had to save Elaina and Laurel. The plan was simply to create a major distraction which would bring most of the men outside. Once this has happened, he would then proceed to the next step that involved getting the explosives over to the possession of any of the men. This would cause great chaos in their midst and while they are busy with settling it, he would then make his way into the building where he would find the ladies.The plan was simple and swift, even if it was difficult to tell how far it would go.“Plan one is done! They should be on their way out now”, Osvaldo said with a voice that sounded like a whisper, focusing his gaze at the entrance of the building as though something bad would happen the moment he shifted his gaze.“Yes! They have to be f
