Project Edan Novels & Stories

Looking down at my belly, I shake my head. “I’ll figure it out,” I tell her. “We still have time.” Taking a drink of coffee, I get to work, reviewing a file and finding errors right away. It’s not an easy fix either, because changing one part creates change in other areas. Sighing, I lean back in my chair and give myself a minute before going and talking to those working on the project. This part of my job isn’t something I’ll miss. My phone dings with a text, lighting up from inside my purse. I roll my chair over to get it instead of getting up. It’s from Dean, texting in the group with Archer and me.

“How dare you still pretend to be innocent? Did you really think I wouldn’t find out what you did? Even after that damn meeting?” “What… What are you talking about…?” “About my project, Eden!” he roared, full of rage, making me cringe “About the damn project my brother and I spent months working on! The very one that was supposed to build a future for us! The formula you sold to Bowman!”

"I'm just glad that we didn't get suspended, especially with the season about to start soon." "Yo, my dad would've killed me, bro, if we had gotten suspended," Ian muttered, shaking his head. "Same," Jasper added, leaning back in his chair. "But I'm cut off from my allowance for a whole two months because of it. My old man said it's 'time to learn responsibility.' Whatever that means." We all laughed. The air inside Wendy's was buzzing with chatter - students everywhere, some from our school, some from Milton. The aroma of fries and burgers filled the air, almost like a warm hug, and for a second, it felt like things were finally cooling down after the chaos of that bonfire night.

Somewhere unknown. Elias continued searching. One encrypted folder remained different from the others. Older. Far older. The scientist clicked it, and the screen flickered, loading, loading, and loading. Then a single title appeared. PROJECT EDEN The entire room went still. Nobody breathed. Below the title appeared another line. AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY. Then another. TRANSFER DESTINATION CONFIRMED. Suddenly the screen flashed red. ACCESS DENIED. The file locked itself. Gone. The room remained silent.

Jalon inquired. Norval and Luciana moved nearer together to assemble data. "Okay, first up is Eadmer Todd. He's known as the "Wonder from The North." He graduated as a top of the line android specialist from The Seolaran Foundation of Expressions, where he concentrates on weapon innovation. Furthermore, get this present, he's only fourteen," Jalon added, pretending shock. "I'm speculating you'll be set in opposition to him Luciana," he said. She addressed, "Why me?"

Edward typed, and all I could do was nod my head. He seems super rich so I think there's no way that he will be able to even go bankrupt. "Have Mister Black and Ezekiel contacted you yet?". I asked Edward while maintaining my gaze on my laptop. I could see Edward from the side of my eyes and he was shaking his head sideways. "Alright!. The both of us should be productive. Why don't you take care of the product that you would be launching next week". I declared. 'Hjjkkkk...ghh!'.

Ralph replied in an exhausted tone. “We are not talking about this!” Edmund groaned while glaring at him with his freezing cold glare. “Alright, which project are we talking about?” Ralph asked, the moment he was talking about business, his entire aura changed and his tone became utterly serious. “The Blue Quartz one” Edmund spoke the first project came into his mind. “I thought the planning was already done” Ralph replied as he knew about Edmund’s project and the Blue Quartz was one of the biggest projects. ‘Why does this b*stard have to have such sharp memory?’ Edmund thought frustratedly.

The incident of yesterday was still fresh in his head and how he was not able to give the name and purpose of the project led to its rejection. “We have over 50 projects altogether, both future, ongoing, and signed projects' 'At the mention of the number, Edward felt like his head was about to explode. “Didn't you review the file I sent the last Monday?'' Mary asked through the line. “I was busy” Edward replied before handing the phone. He slams on his seat not sure of what to do next. It was certain Edward had made everything go his way and now he understood it was all a planned act.

“Wow, look at the groom who forgot us! You’ve got a wife now.” Tobin teased. “Yeah, he was busy working in bed.” Dane added, and they laughed. Edward’s tense expression didn’t change when they jested. “Stop it. Let’s get down to our business field.” “Yes, boss.” Kit started and exchanged a glance with others, and then went on. “We made deals with the companies abroad as you wished. This can persuade our foes to use other ways to beat us down.” Edward wore a thoughtful expression. He was the leader of Paradise, Rand, League Mafia group. And if his foes gathered, many lives would be in danger.
