Dear Writer,
Right or wrong, I have decided to face the challenge! Yes, I won’t return until I find all my answers and I know where exactly I need to look for them. My fate brought me to this island and it was destiny that I found Mr Devil once again! This time I won’t lose him.
Ever determined
Alicia Luna.

“Why are you dressed up so early?” Sara came to wake up Alicia but was quite astonished to see her already awake and ready in a clean white dress.
“I am going out for a while. I will return soon.” Alicia replied combing her hair.
“Going out?? Where?” Sara frowned.
Alicia finished her hair and hurried out with a small clutch, “I have to find a job!”
“No, Wait Alice!” Sara ran after her and stopped her at the door. “Why do you need a job? And why are you in this plain simple dress? Is there already an interview? Which Company and what’s the job?”
Alicia turned and held Sara’s arms. She said gently, “So many questions Sara! OK. Let me answer you quickly! I am going to the castle to look for a job of may be, a housemaid! I have decided that I need to spend more time in the castle and get close to Mathew to know him better!”
Sara was horrified on hearing Alicia’s plan and she held Alicia tightly and gasped, “Alice! What are you thinking???? Have you lost your mind? Please Alice, don’t do something crazy! There has to be another way! And he may not be even Damien!”
“I know Sara. I said I need to get close to Mathew. I didn’t say Damien! But I have to do this for my peace of mind. So, please don’t stop me!” Alicia replied and freed herself.
Tears welled up in Sara’s eyes thinking about the dangers Alicia would be putting herself into! She is planning to work in the Mafia den! She can be molested, raped and even worse, killed! She broke with fear and worry for Alicia.
“Hey! Please don’t cry! I promise I will be fine! And I will return in a few hours Sara! I promise.” She hushed Sara and then walked out giving her a last assuring smile.

Mathew was in a meeting with his men, Carlos, Max, Chima, Johny, Rex, Alex, Sona and Polo!
“Boss, this consignment is huge and if the delivery happens in time to Dexter, we will get more business! But I don’t trust Don! He might be planning to sabotage!” Polo said.
“We will see to it Polo! Let our men be prepared! We can’t lose this business!” Mathew said calmly. Then he addressed Max, “Max! Have you checked with Mr M? What’s the status of the Dolls (drugs in code)?”
“Boss! The dolls are as per schedule. It will port at midnight!” Max replied.
“Hmm..Good!”
The door barged open and Milo entered in a rush, panting as he spoke, “Boss, Don is planning to highjack the package! Our inside man just sent a message!”
“When? Where?” Mathew snarled.
“The dock at night!” Milo replied.
“Carlos, let’s teach them a lesson once for all!” Mathew said narrowing his eyes and parching his lips, and dismissed the meeting.
Everyone moved out in hurry to get their men and arms ready!

Mrs Cooper was busy shouting after the flock of servants and maids!
“Ruby! Are you waiting for your grandmother to return from heaven and do your chores?? I need the lunch ready in an hour! The bulls cannot wait! They need good food to maintain their strength!”
By bulls she meant the mafia gang members!
“Sophia! My darling! I guess you are too delicate to work here with your dolled up pretty face and polished nails! I THINK I SHOULD SEND YOU TO THE W*OREHOUSE!”
Sophia jumped hearing Mrs Cooper’s yellings! “Mrs Coo-Cooper..I …I am j-just…..”
“I don’t need just, Sophia! Finish your job in time or else you can get your sorry *ss F*cked in the W*orehouse! The girls need to be ready by evening! I need them to smell good and look good!”
“Auntie! Auntie!” Tommy, her nephew strode inside calling her loudly.
Mrs Cooper sneered at him and standing with her hands on her hip she said, “How many times will I have to remind you to call me ‘Mrs Cooper’ Tommy? And what’s the rush? Is your c*ck of fire??”
Tommy apologised lowering his gaze, “I am sorry Auntie….Mrs Cooper!”
“Hmmm….you are sorry! So what’s the matter? Santa knocked on your door, child?” Mrs Cooper mocked.
“Umm..there is a girl at the gate. She says she is looking for a job!” Tommy’s face lit up as he said and then he whispered shyly, “Mrs Cooper! She is very hot and attractive! Her ti*s are so …”
“Hmmm….will see! Bring her in!” She barked.

Alicia was waiting at the gate. She wasn’t allowed to enter the premises. A young boy just asked her to wait for him when he found her pleading to the men patrolling with guns at the gate, who literally were snapping at her and trying to drive her away!
If I was to describe her condition at that moment, I would say she was continuously building up her courage to step foot on the very castle where she was almost ruined and then tortured! Her throat was dry. She gulped and looked around in fear like a fawn who is about to enter the Lion’s den! Her palms were sweaty and so was her forehead. She did put up a brave front but inside her mind she was ready to embrace death! She told herself, she will do anything for Damien!
Alicia wiped her sweaty face with a small handkerchief as she sat on a bench outside the castle gate! The weather near the coast was humid and it was rather hot in mornings!
She turned her head hearing several footsteps! It sounded like an army getting ready for a war! Three cars full of men and a few bikes drove out of the gate in high speed and disappeared at the end of the road!
She sighed holding her chest, when a monsterous bike stopped half road, outside the gate! The loud accelerator sound reverberated as if threatening her!
She looked at the biker and frowned! From the back posture she could easily recognise him. He was Mathew! Alicia was spooked when she noticed two guns tucked inside his jeans around the waist at his back which was covered by his black jacket and two more peeping out of his boots on either legs.
Where was he going with so many men and guns?? Alicia was thinking when the bike took a sharp U turn and headed straight to her at a high speed! The loud sound almost hurt her ears. In a split second it stopped right in front of her, so close that it might have hit her if it moved an inch or two closer!
Alicia jumped up to her feet and kept staring at the biker, intimidated by the stunt! There was no conversation initiated by either of them and though the biker wore a big black helmet, Alicia could see those black eyes boring inside her mind!
Her breathing fastened and she realised that her chest was heaving up and down when his gaze travelled downward to her chest but didn’t settle there for long! Removing his gaze away after a few seconds he again took a sharp turn and drove away as fast as he drove towards her!
Alicia doesn’t know if she was afraid or tensed or worried for Mathew! But she did feel as if her heart returned to her chest once he was gone!
“Miss!”
Alicia snapped her head to her left to see Tommy smiling at her. She slowly walked to him.
“Come! Mrs Cooper will see you now! She is the in-charge of the entire household and also my auntie!” Tommy said kind of boasting.
Alicia didn’t respond with any word. She just followed Tommy into the lion’s den where she knew for sure that her saviour was not present!
