PARADISE-REGAINED.
"Look I am not here for your tears, where is my sister?" Jade asked with a deadly tone but Favour was so scared to talk because she can't actually point out exactly where they can find Mariam, it's all complicated for her.
"Look Jade I cannot lie for you but I don't know where she is" Favour said as Jade angrily grabbed her closer.
"Where is she!! you killed her!?" Jade asked with a deep angered voice.
"No, I didn't, I don't know where she is but it is not my fault, I was truly looking after her for you, just like the way you begged me to"
"But... I just once realized that she was nowhere to be found anymore, I searched for her around the Sanctuary but she was nowhere to be found, I wanted to look for her outside the fort but my mum did not allow me"
"Jade... am sorry" Favour said as Jade breathes down and slowly released her out of her grip as tears began to flow out of her eyes.
"Jade this is not the end, I could be certain that she's still alive, there are possibilities of that, we can just go out of the streets and look for her" Favour suggested as Jade looks at her with tears in her eyes.
"How? how are we going to do that? I know what I passed through being lonely at the streets, there is no how she could be alive, I personally doubt it" Jade concluded as she sits down sorrowfully and Favour joined her.
After gazing at her for a while she managed to speak. "Jade I know that deep down in you, I know you have not forgiven me, but I'm sorry, there was nothing I could do" Favour said while Jade kept silent at her.
Jade acted like there was no one beside her as she continues her sorrowful moment.
"Jade, I was so kind to your sister, I don't know why she has to run away but trust me, I could say that the reason why she ran away was because of you" Favour said as Jade looks at her and Favour nodded.
"Yes, she must be very bothered about you and that's why she ran away thinking that it could be that easy to find you..." Favour was still saying and then Anna ran in making Jade to sit up and stares at her.
"Anna you woke up from sleep? what awaked you?" Favour asked as Anna approached her and Favour placed her hand on her shoulders.
"I noticed that I wasn't feeling your touch and then I woke up, I couldn't find you, I have to look for you" Anna responded as Favour smiled at her.
"Don't worry, here I am now" Favour responded and kissed her on her forehead then gazed at Jade.
"So... you were able to protect your own sister and you let mine escape?" Jade asked as Favour waves her head.
"You are clearly..." Favour was still saying and Jade interrupted.
"Get out! please get out of my present, your present annoys me! I wanna be alone for now" Jade yelled at her and then she lifted her sister and got away.
Then Jade began to give what Favour said a thought and following Anna's statement, it is clear that Favour was right.
Mariam may have ran away by herself thinking that she can find her and how she get away does not really matter.
What matters is that Jade have believed that she's dead already and maybe it could still be her head that she found besides Amelia's Sanctuary, it could be that she was even killed earlier just immediately she stepped out of the Sanctuary.
So many thoughts keeps running through Jade's mind until she heard a footstep approaching her and she looked up and discovered that it was David.
"Please leave me" Jade muttered with a low voice while David silently approached and sat besides her.
"Jade I heard all that happened and I just wanted to say that I am sorry, I know that it all happened because of me but why? why did you choose to save me instead?" David asked as line of tears flows out of Jade's eyes.
"Because I was trying to avoid what has already happened, I know it will result to a speeding bloodshed"
"Because you and I, not just us but everybody knows how your mother cares for you and what she's willing to do to protect you"
"I was just trying to let Amelia know that kidnapping you is a very bad idea and after all my struggle to make it not to happen"
"It happened but reversed instead, what I was fighting against reversed and took away my family" Jade said with tears as David approached her and cleans up her tears.
"Am very sorry that this happened just because of me, am really sorry okay? what you should be proud of is that you are a brave girl"
"But I listened to Favour and I think she could be right, I can help you look out for your sister" David said.
"No, she's dead" Jade said as David stares at her with a confused look on his face.
"Jade come on what are you talking about? if you care for her that much then why wish her death?" David said as Jade yelled at him with a loud voice.
"You have no idea how much I love my sister! Darklands are not friendly to any weakling not to talk of little girl...!!? I know what I passed through and with that I could tell that she's already dead" Jade responded while David looks at her continuously.
"You are pissing me off, Jade, what could you possibly pass through..." David was still saying but got interrupted.
"I was raped! not just by one men but many, it was Scar who brought me home told me how he found laying dead!" Jade yelled why David was left gazing at her with pitiful look on his face.
"Apart from that I passed through many circumstances of death which I was able to escape because I'm just big enough to"
"But think about a little girl? how long do you think you can last out there?" Jade asked as tears keep streaming down from her eyes.
While David was still looking at her silently and was still wondering about that part where she said that she was raped by many.
"Hey, it's fine, it will" David said as he approached closer to her and raised her head making her to look into his eyes then he wiped off her tears and allowed her to rest her head on his chest while he cuddles her.

Meanwhile Zara was inside her room looking through the mirror when her door opened and Scar stepped in.
"Look into my eyes and tell me that you didn't train her?" Zara asked immediately he stepped in and she turned and looks at him.
"I don't understand why I will have to lie to you about that...? if I did I will simply tell you that I did but I didn't"
"Check her moves, that wasn't my move at all, you could see that yourself" Scar said and Zara silently approached him and placed her right hand on his cheeks.
"Scar, I saw how close you are getting to Jade and I must tell you that I'm jealous" Zara said while Scar stares at her confusedly.
"Sorry Mistress but I don't understand what you are talking about, besides why should you bother..." Scar was still saying and Zara shut him up by placing her index finger on his lips.
"Scar, thought you should have known by yourself that you are more than just an escort to me by now" Jade said as Scar gazes at her silently.
"But why me..?" Scar asked.
"Because Love knows no boundary, I found it ridiculous as well having an affection with my escort but I still thinks it's natural" Zara said as she kissed his neck and crossed her hand over his neck.
"Could you promise me something?" Zara requested.
"Anything you want" Scar responded with a touch of smile.
"I don't want you to get closer to Jade again because I don't want to throw her out and neither do you, please could you do that for me?" Zara asked as Scar stares at her silently for a while and nodded his head.
"If that is what will please my Mistress then I won't hesitate" Scar responded as Zara smiled at him and then kissed him on his lips as they got engaged in a very serious kiss.
Scar lifted her up and drop her on the bed and pulled his shirt and joined her on the bed.
"I will make you scream hard...!" Scar said with a low and gentle voice as Zara chuckles.
"Can you?" Zara asked as Scar pulls out her skirt and her undies as well.
"I know that you are strong but love...? is different" Scar said as he falls on her as they continue with kiss.
"Oww, yes... I like that" Zara moaned immediately she felt his snake penetrate her.

MATRIX'S SANCTUARY.
The flowers inside the beautiful fort was dancing with the air and the lights and bulbs used to design it was giving out a bright light.
It was giving out a powerful light as if they are currently at noon, though that's because there was a way Matrix designed his home and roofed it all over even the fence in order for safety.
Though he still has workers too, his guards are still roaming about inside the compound when he drove into the gate.
And immediately the guards came and opened the door for him and he drives in.
"Is this your home? Wow... it's so beautiful" Mariam said and Matrix smiled at her.
"Yeah, do you like it?" Matrix asked as she nods.
"Of course I do love it" Mariam responded and immediately Matrix halted as they have already arrived into the compound.
Then Matrix opened the door for her and she stepped down and so as Matrix.
Some of his guards are already waiting for him beside his car and he handed over his key to one of them.
"Get the car parked" he ordered and the guard collected the key from him.
"Yes boss" He said as he enters the car and drives it away.
"You are welcome home, Mariam, come, let's go inside" Matrix said as he lifted her off the ground and stepped inside with her.
Then after a few seconds the bad gangs arrives but with their feet because they knew that they will be noticed if they try to approach with their car.
They were all donned in black so they wouldn't be noticed that easily.
When the four of them secretary invaded the entrance they noticed that it was well secured and there is no how they can jump in or get in without passing through the entrance and they maybe spotted..
"I think we have come a long way to leave without her, we must get her and it must surely be her and nobody else and in that case we need to fight! Matrix called this upon himself"
"He should have stayed away" Jeffery said as he drags out his swords behind his back and the others brings out their swords after him
"Now, it's time"
