The Return Of The God of War 172
Eden is left throbbing on the bed even after having slept for good hours. She has woken up in Ansel's bedroom with clear images of the sex they had hours ago. She sighs as she sits up on the bed, she is still sensitive in her down area, but it's in a good way. Maybe that's why she hasn't left Ansel after all of this time, he knows how to leave a woman satisfied. She pulls the blanket with her as she gets off the bed and she gingerly walks to the bathroom. She takes a slow bath and finds a free dress to put on. Now she is hungry. She goes to the kitchen and pours herself a glass of drink. The current housekeeper wanders in and almost trips when she sees her. " Good evening, ma'am." She greets with a stammer. Eden nods, that's just about all of the acknowledgment she gives the woman. She waves her away and she goes off to her business in the kitchen. Eden is perched on a stool from the kitchen. Ansel is downstairs in the sitting room. She can hear his conversation if she tr

Duke is working in his office, looking through records and lightly chewing on his pen when he hears a knock on his door. He looks up to see Melody looking at him. She has changed through the months and that's probably because the pregnancy did change her. She is chubby and her skin glows even more, but that just makes her even prettier. She is holding the door by a small crack and she peeks through it. " Hi. " She smiles. " I'm so sorry to bother you.""No, you're cool." He closes the files in front of him and pushes them aside. He has been this way since she came to live with him. He drops everything the very instant she calls for him. She walks in, she is putting on a beautiful long black gown. She turns around and lifts her hair so that he can get her zipper. He pulls it up and arranges her hair to cover it back. " Thanks. " She says. " You're welcome." He nods. " Bloom went to get the team from the airport." She says to him. " We are going to get to work as soon as the

" General." Duke acknowledges him with a nod. " This is unexpected. "" Indeed, it is." He grunts. " To what do I owe this visit?" Duke asks. " It has been a while since I last saw you, to be honest."" You are being invited to the office for questioning." General John says. " You are to come immediately."" What for?" Duke shrugs. " I thought you guys didn't want anything to do with me anymore?"" Quit the questions and come with us, son. " General John groans. " For once, stop being such a pain."" Why does this look like an arrest to me?" Bloom chimps in. " Why bring this number of soldiers just to invite him in?" " Watch who you speak to, son? " General John warns him. " You have forgotten that you can be dealt with massively."" Leave him out of this, I am the one you came for," Duke warns. He pushes Bloom behind him. " Come with us, General." He says. ", The longer you linger, the harder it gets for all of us."" I'm sorry, General John, but that won't be possible," Duke t

Eden has shades on as she walks down the road, her hands deep in her coat pockets. Guards are all around her and the curious look on the faces of people who stop by to look at her. She ignores all of them, making sure her head is high in the air as she goes.She walks into the bank, all the workers are standing up, to acknowledge her. She stops as hurrying footsteps approaches her and her entourage. An elderly man appears and hurriedly walks towards her. " Hello, Miss Eden." He bows. " I am Thomas Jean, I am the president of this Bank."" Nice to meet you, Mister Thomas." She smiles as she takes his handshake. ", What's with all the courtesy, it's not necessary."" Forgive me, but it's only necessary to give this to you." He insists. "Your brother visited the bank a few months ago and was utterly disrespected by my nephew who didn't know who he was, we are just trying to avoid such again."" Oh, I see." She smiles." Didn't know that you knew my brother."" Only the dead wouldn't

Eden lets out an awful sound as she clutches her stomach and presses her hand over her mouth. This is not what she expected to see here, she would have gladly seen a ghost or anything, but not a helpless child. The child, being aware of her presence, can't move or sit up, she just lay there whimpering for her dear life. Eden doesn't think twice, she descends the stairs and picks up the child in her arms. How can a human being feel so light? She opens her huge, but weak, eyes and she tries to move her lips. " Oh my God, are you okay?" Eden asks her. " What happened to you?"The child is covered in bruises and dirt, Eden doesn't know what has happened to her, but it's not looking good at all. The child slowly closes her eyes and Eden's heart stops immediately. " Wait, don't die, please," Eden begs. " Help! Help!"Ansel needs to see this. How did this child get into his basement? This child can't be anything more than ten years old, but she looks so small from lack of food and h

She gets home with a heaviness in her heart, no matter how much she tries, she can't stop thinking about the girl in the basement. Darla comes into her room, she is too deep in thought to notice. Darla has to knock on the door for Eden to come back to reality. " I'm sorry to disturb you, young Madam." She apologizes. " No, it's fine, Darla, what do you need?" She heaves as she looks at her. " You haven't told me what you would like for dinner," Darla says. " Dinner, it's almost midnight." " You haven't had a good meal today." Darla reminds her. Eden can't even remember that she hasn't eaten well today. With the events that happened, she has even lost her appetite. " I don't want you to go to bed hungry, your mum never liked that," Darla tells her. Eden pulls at her own hair, trying to find a way to get all the anger out of her before she screams at her housekeeper, but it doesn't work. " You know what, Darla?" She stands up. " I just met this poor girl, who probably hasn't

Eden holds on to Tonya and they run through the door. It The way Tonya follows her in confusion, she definitely doesn't remember coming up into the house, she was probably unconscious.

Suddenly the housekeeper appears in front of her and the woman whimpers as she throws her hands in the air.

" Stay right where you are." She warns. " Please, don't kill me." The woman begs, her hands are shaking. Eden still keeps the gun pointed at her, she looks harmless though, but a bitter fact comes to mind. Ansel is not going to spare her, it doesn't matter if she tries to stop her or not.

The time has come, and Bloom is going to tell them about everything that he has found about Tonya. Duke is behind the sofa that Eden and Melody are sitting on, they are all waiting to hear what information he has brought back. " Her name is Tonya Aguilera. " he starts. " She is nine years old and is from the remote village on Padre island. " He says. " Her parents are poor plantation workers and a UNICEF worker found something peculiar about her." " Peculiar? What is that supposed to mean?" Eden rubs her neck. " Tonya has a blood different from that of everyone, her blood contains special antigens that if buttressed upon, they can be used to fight incurable diseases." Bloom continues. " Some rich pharmaceutical companies were fighting to " buy" her from her family for a huge amount of money, but they refused." " Buy her?" Melody looks around in horror. She surely doesn't even know half of what's going on in the businesses of rich people. " Her parents refused and even threatene
