MARY’S APARTMENT**
Mary has been in since afternoon, practicing everything she saw in the training arena on her own.
She made a punching bag with some of her clothes, and she hung it on the ceiling, she was able to sharpen a wooden sword which she practiced with.
She spent almost four hours without giving up, and right now she’s so tired.
She fell on her bed, and she pressed her hair to her head before smiling.
“I can do it, I can” she smiled, spranging up.
She left the mansion and saw Clyde on the apple tree already.
“Apple fairy” she smiled, walking to the tree.
She stayed underneath, and Clyde didn’t bother to come down.
He might just do something stupid if he comes close.
“Hey hey hey” she said, and his eyes widened.
He could still remember hearing that from his Preet.
“Who’s it?” He replied just like he used to do.
“Angel in charge of this tree” Mary replied, and his eyes widened again.
Exactly what her answer would be.
“I own it yunno” he said slowly, expecting her to say “we own it actually”
“We own it actually” Mary replied, and he jumped down immediately.
“Preet!” He said, hugging her tightly, stroking her hair.
“No one will tell me anything, it’s you, it’s definitely you” he said, and Mary quickly broke it.
“What are you talking about?” She said confusedly.
“America, some years back, I’m Clyde, the boy from the orphanage, we do meet under the apple tree everyday, you’re Preet, Preet Marcus” he said.
“Preet Marcus?” She said.
“Yes, your parents were one of the top ten richest investors back then, look, here’s your picture as a kid, you don’t remember?” He said, showing her the picture, but before she could see it, she turned her back.
“I don’t wanna see that picture, it gives me headache Clyde” she said and quickly ran away.
Clyde looked at the picture, and before he knew it, his tear fell on it.
“It’s you, I’m very sure it’s you” he muttered, backing the tree as more tears escaped his eyes.

ROSARIO’S MANSION**
Mary got back and met Rosario smoking by the window, she rushed there and snatched the cigar from him, then she threw it down and marched it.
“You wanna get sick again?” She said sternly, and he sighed.
“I’m going crazy Donna, Blood might still be alive” he said, and her eyes widened.
“No, it’s impossible, you shot him down in the church, and you also burnt the church” she said.
“I f*cking know, but I saw him today, am I going crazy?” He replied, and Mary sighed before hugging him.
“You aren’t, just calm down ok?, Calm down and think” she said, and he hugged her tighter, sniffing in her scent.
“Always hug me like this, always” he said, and she smiled.
“Sure, I’ll always hug you and kiss your lips, and…. Give you good s*x, I know how you feel” she said, and he broke the hug to look at her.
“How do I feel?”
“Secret” she winked and bit her lip, and he kissed her forehead before hugging her again.
“Why do I feel at peace in your arms?” She whispered, patting his back softly.
“Figure it out” he replied, and she chuckled.
“I’m flying to Russia tommorow, wanna come with me?” He asked, and she broke the hug.
“My country” she said surprisingly.
“Wanna go see Russia again?, He asked, and she nodded quickly.
“F*cking yes”
He kissed her lips lightly, and she smiled.
“Should we make tonight magical?” She asked naughtily.
Rosario carried her in his arms immediately, and their lips crashed madly on each other as he entered the bathroom and shut the door.

NEXT DAY★UNKNOWN LOCATION★12PM**
Beryl stood immediately Leenox came into her room, he was wearing a face cap.
“Leenox” she said eagerly, and he took the cap off his head, he wore it for her instead.
“The coast is clear, boss and his woman are out” he said.
“What about the rest of the guards?” She asked.
“Just shut up and follow me” he replied, wearing a jacket for her before holding her hand.
He ran out of the room with her, and surprisingly, all the guards were sprawled around, sleeping on each other the ground .
“I sedated their drinks” Leenox quickly said, and Beryl smiled as they continued running till they got out of the big mansion.
The race continued till they got to the big steel gate, and Leenox opened it.
It took a lot of strength to push it alone cos it’s so heavy.
He eventually did, and he grabbed Beryl’s hand again, running all the way out of the gate.
The area is lifeless, it’s only forest and woods around, no sign of any human or animal, the smallest fly is not in sight.
As they ran, Enzo’s car suddenly appeared upfront, and they both froze.
“You said they’d be out for an hour!” Beryl said fearfully.
“I don’t know why they’re back early too!” Leenox replied and dragged her to the left side, they jumped into the forest and continued running.
Mary Kay and Enzo came out of the car, and she started laughing so loud, derisive and witchy.
Enzo smiled dangerously, getting his gun.
“They really think they can escape?, They should go sign up as comedians” Mary Kay said when she finally recovered from her laughter.
“My suspicions were right about Leenox, call the gang” Enzo said, and Mary got her phone.
She dialled the line of the gangsters leader.
She actually has 50+ gangsters surrounding the forest.
“My lady” a thick voice penetrated into her speakers.
“Two unfortunate beings entered the forest just now, get them alive, I’m coming with their judgment” she said and hung up.
“I’m gonna grind both of them in a milling machine” she smiled wickedly before getting back in the car with Enzo.
He drove roughly into the forest.

MOSCOW IN RUSSIA★2PM**
Rosario landed with Mary since two hours ago, but Rosario had to leave her in the hotel room so he came to Sakura alone.
They planned to meet in a mini street library, and she was already waiting when he got there.
“Straight to the point” he said, and she gave him an envelope.
He took it and brought out the content, it contains pictures of Blood’s grave.
It has been dug up, and no body in sight.
“I stole my way into the site this morning, but I met this, the grave has been dug out, and his body is gone” Sakura said.
“I have to see for myself” he replied, and they both left the library together.
A guy in black came out of a corner in the library, wearing a mask on his face.
He dialled a number.
“Get Mary from the hotel” he said before hanging up on the call, then he walked out of the library.
****
GRAVESITE**
True to Sakura’s words and pictures, the grave has been dug up and the body is gone.
“Maybe you really saw Blood, that’s why they did this to hide the truth” Sakura said.
“Meaning… the Imperium are here in Russia too” Rosario replied, facing her.
“Definitely, Lucifer and his bride are here” she replied, and his mind went to Mary.
“Stay at alert till you receive my call” he said.
“Yes boss” she smiled, and he drove out of the place immediately.
Sakura’s phone rang, and she smiled before picking.
“Job done”

JOLLY HOTEL**
Rosario drove roughly into the park and rushed out of the car, then he ran into the hotel crazily.
He told Mary never to come out, if she didn’t, there’s no way they’d be able to open the door.
How they know he’s coming to Russia is still a puzzle he’s yet to get right now, but making sure Mary is safe is the most important.
He got to their floor, and immediately he saw the door is widely opened, he knew something was wrong.
He ran into the room, and Mary is nowhere to be found, then he started noticing blood prints on the ground.
The blood is in droplets, and he started tracing it, it led to the bathroom.
He opened the door and saw traces of blood on the ground, even the bathtub is bloody, and inside the bathtub, he saw Mary.
Her neck has been slitted, that’s actually the source of the blood, and beside the bathtub, he saw a human heart, fresh one.
Mary’s heart!
His eyes widened, and his body shook uncontrollably as his throat went dry immediately.
His world crumbled a million times in that one minute, he journeyed to hell and came back.
“Donna!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
