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!"

"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
The Mafia Boss’ Successor Family ties

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.

The Mafia Boss’ Successor Legacy’s burden
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.

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
The Mafia Boss’ Successor Desperate pursuit
"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.

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

Eliana's heart was pounding as she ran through the dense jungle, trying to put as much distance as possible between herself and Vincent's men who were fast catching up with her. She could hear their footsteps pounding behind her, their harsh breaths sounding like growls in her ears. She couldn't afford to stop, else the key got to Vincent."Stop running, Eliana!" Vincent's voice boomed behind her. "It's pointless. We'll catch you eventually." Vincent growled as he increased his pace.Eliana didn't dare turn around, she could feel his eyes on her back, burning into her like hot coals. She knew he was right, knew that she couldn't outrun them forever. But it was better than giving in to his callous threat. The key had to be protected at all cost, let it get into the wrong hands and Vincent isn't the best option to be in possession of the keys.As she ran, she noticed a flowing river through the trees and increased her pace.

Vincent stood at the edge of the cliff, scanning the vast expanse of jungle below him. His eyes narrowed, and a fierce look crossed his face as he thundered at the top of his voice,"We've just been outsmarted by that serpent Eliana! She's stolen the key from me! And we're not going to let her get away with it!""We're going to find her, and we're going to get that key back. And we'll do whatever it takes, even if we have to kill her!". He thundered as his men looked with trepidation at his outburst.Vincent knew that it wouldn't be difficult to track Eliana down. She was alone, vulnerable, and didn't have anyone to protect her. He gave orders to his men, "Spread out and search every inch of this jungle until you find her. And if you see her, don't hesitate to bring her to me.""We would do as you have instructed, Sir" one of his men answered as they bowed in terror and scurried off into the jungle.Vincent took a deep breath and clenched his fists, "I don't care what it takes," he mu

Days turned into weeks with no clue on how to find the treasure or anything relating to the note. Despite all of these, Eden and Arnold continued the journey,trekking through the thick jungle that housed tall trees and harbored wild animals .They kept on searching for any hint or meaning behind the mysterious number "27". Still, they had yet to come across anything that could offer them a clue. Eden was growing increasingly frustrated and discouraged, feeling like they were going in circles without making any progress."I don't know what we're supposed to do, Arnold there's no hope!" Eden said, kicking a stone in frustration. "We've been at this for weeks and we're no closer to finding the treasure."Arnold sighed heavily. "I know, Eden. But we can't give up… not so fast. We have to keep searching.""What in heaven's name are we even searching for? At first the note seemed like it had some kind of message embedded in it and now… now it's like there's no hope.We don't even know what

Arnold and Eden trudged along the dirt path, their feet heavy and weary from the long journey they had been on. The sun beat down on their backs, making their clothes cling to their skin with sweat. Arnold's face was dripping with sweat as gasped for air.He let out a deep sigh and rubbed his eyes with his fingers, trying to shake off the fatigue that had settled in his bones. "Man, I'm starving," he groaned.Eden stared at him equally feeling exhausted, but he wouldn't stop till he found Eliana… and the key. He chuckled. "Yeah, me too. We should have packed more food.""I didn't think we'd be on the road this long," Arnold replied.Eden sat on a small rock and rubbed his forehead slightly, "I know we didn't bargain for this but we have to keep moving,"Arnold scoffed, "Keep moving? Keep moving, you say, if that woman didn't steal the keys to the treasure we would have been at home, and none of all these would have even come up in the first place!" He said, his voice slightly raised.

The journey was beginning to get the better part of Eden. Not only was he frustrated with the fact that they weren’t catching sight of Eliana, he was sad that she had the strength to run away from him without returning. The depth of the betrayal was heavy on his soul and that prompted him to start behaving in an erratic manner.Earlier, he and Arnold stumbled across a pack in the city. They successfully stole some meals that was brought in my people in the pack. It was a crazy experience for Eden since the last thing he wanted was stealing from innocent people, but they had no choice. Once they showed their guns to them, the people gave up their food and even, some of their money immediately.“We shouldn’t have collected any part of their money”, Eden suggested the minute the left the are where the people were.Arnold scoffed and chuckled calmly, without an iota of guilt in his eyes.“We did what we had to do to survive! I hold no remorse”, he said and immediately, Eden stopped right

Eliana rushed into a small hut that stayed at a hidden part of the city. She looked behind her as she tried to confirm that she was not being followed.“Who are you?” A man in his late fifties asked as he blew a whistle, prompting some guards to rush over to him.They all stared at Eliana, like a threat who must have come to wipe them out.“I’m not threat! You have to believe me”, Eliana said as she gasped heavily, trying so hard to catch her breath.She looked back again while the men tried to monitor her closely and ascertain what she was currently up to at the moment.“Why are you running?” One of the men asked, walking closer to her and looking into her eyes as though the answer to her question laid there.Eliana took in a deep breath and sighed heavily. There was no way she would open up her mouth and tell the men that she was running because she had a key which would unlock a great treaure. That would only mean putting her life in trouble.“Some men were chasing me! I did nothin

The ravine walls were steep and slippery, making it impossible to climb out. The river flowed rapidly, making it too dangerous to swim across. They were trapped, with no clear way out. Eden's frustration and desperation grew as he realized that they may be stuck in this ravine for days, or even weeks. He worried about Elaina's safety and the possibility that someone else may find the key before they do.“What are you thinking of?” Arnold asked as he tapped Eden’s shoulders lightly. Eden took in a deep breath and forced a smile to his face. He was deeply worried and despite how hard he tried to conceal it, it still showed on his face. “Are you worried about her?” Arnold asked as he gazed at Eden who nodded his head in affirmation.A small scoff escaped his lips the moment he took note of Eden’s response. He couldn’t say why Eden was more worried about his wife than himself.“We are the ones lost in the middle of a ravine. We have no idea of how we are going to survive and if we are

After the encounter with the strange people, Eden and Arnold became stranded in the middle of a ravine. They had been following a long river, in hopes that it would lead them to Eliana and the key. However, they didn’t expect the drop in the terrain.“This is all your fault! You picked this location and now, it seems like we are lost”, Eden suddenly said as he turned to look at Arnold who was looking around and trying to decipher the next part to head to. “My fault? You would have stopped me when you saw me walking towards here…but instead, you supported me and walked with me”, Arnold scoffed and rolled his eyes at Eden who was now beginning to get enraged with the way and manner things were beginning to turn.“This is all your fault! Tell me…are you trying to see that we suffer?” Eden asked and for a minute, Arnold thought that he had heard wrongly. He took a step closer to Eden who was looking at him with a dead glare, not batting an eyelid.“And what do you want to do?” Arnold a
