All Chapters of The Trial of Eden: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

At six in the morning, a phone alarm wakes us in our sleep. We greeted each other a 'good morning' and began preparing for the day. An hour and a half later, we left for work.  Upon arrival, we grouped with our teammates and wasted no time in continuing where we left off the day before. I make sure that our team works with precision, maximizing the time allotted to us. This cycle repeats for a week until the day before the event arrives, in which our productivity resulted in finishing everything before our lunch break.  I decided to spend lunch together with my team.  Meanwhile, in the middle of our lunch, the head of the event committee comes to us and says, "I saw the function hall just now and I must say; good job everyone. It has been all tough work and tight deadlines these months, yet you all delivered, so as an appreciation, you're all dismissed for the day. Worry not; this w

The sound of my phone alarm filled my apartment room. I paused for a minute before going into a frog sitting position. I remained in a frog sitting position for a minute before switching into a normal sitting position with my feet dropped down the bed but not completely stepped onto the floor for another minute. Finally, I got out of bed. I stride into the bathroom as I yawn. Reaching the bathroom, I gargle with a mouthwash. Then, I begin cooking for breakfast and lunch. Today, I opt for a High Fiber Spinach Omelet Sandwich for breakfast. Meanwhile, for lunch, I choose Short Grain Rice in Cheesy Chili Con Carne with shredded Cabbage and Carrot Sticks wrapped in a sheet of laver. Finishing my kitchen duties, I consume my breakfast with a glass of milk and a piece of banana. Immediately after, I bathe. When done, I dress up in a jiffy and swiftly apply light makeup. By light makeup, it only consists of a makeup primer, a matte foundation, and a lip tint on a shade of glowing pink. Fee

I stop my struggles against Dashiell and seem to have spaced out, thinking, "It's mama. Mama's really alive like what papa said. But to think that mama's here with this Dashiell guy. Could it be that Dashiell is a part of her new family now? But the way she looks at me doesn't seem to say so. Besides, I don't think that mama will exchange me for someone like this Dashiell. I bet Dashiell and his minions kidnapped her and took her as a hostage. Whatever it is, I need to save mama. We need to run away."As Dashiell noticed I have stopped struggling against him, he gets off of me.He starts, "Good, you've calmed down. I think you're ready to listen then."Without a warning, I did the unexpected; I stepped on Dashiell's left foot causing him to scream "OUCH." I then went to mama's side."Mama, let's get out of here while he's still in pain. He must have been the one who kidnapped you. He took away our time together as a family. When we get out, let's turn him

When mama said she's serving our drinks, I stood up to help but Dashiell stops me and offered to leave it to him. "Is that for real or is he just playing nice?" is what I asked myself.I didn't notice that our drinks are already there until Dashiell cleared his throat and asked, "Do you want the drink or not?"I muttered my thanks to him. He nodded in acknowledgment.Sensing that the air got all too quiet for comfort, Dr. Harlow starts speaking."I guess we will start our conversation?""We should," remarked Mr. Thomas.Dr. Harlow nods and continues, "Before we get into the real issue here, allow us to properly tell you about ourselves. So, again, my name is Dr. Alois Harlow and I am a surgeon until Dr. Foley framed me as a part of an illegal drug syndicate group; hence, I am wanted by the authorities and cannot practice anymore."I gaped at what Dr. Harlow said."That is just the tip of the iceberg; don't be shocked just yet,"

"You got a very high fever, so I had you confined in a hospital. Hours later, I was told that you need to be in the ICU for close monitoring since they said that you were showing signs that they had never seen before. Meanwhile, I went out to pay for our utility bills and do the groceries. Back to the situation in that hospital, it wasn't until Mario's intervention when I discovered that there was really nothing wrong with you. It turned out that Mario had secretly spied on the hospital after I informed him about what happened to you. He said he pretended as an applicant who is getting lost inside the facility because of its size and he purposely bumped onto a hospital staff and stole the said staff's ID. As a result, he got access to sneak into a room. In that room, he was able to get some confidential information. Mario immediately left the hospital afterward and when he was one street away from the hospital, he called me and told me to immediately discharge you out of the hospita
