Tapiwa looked at Bella, who was now smiling and looking better than when she was on her knees, and said smilingly, "Dear, you must know that I am not angry with you. I do understand why you went through such an ordeal and truly I am touched.
There aren't a lot of people out there concerned about me and where I went. Those who have such thoughts only want to find me and deal with me. So, to know what you did for me, honestly, I am grateful and sorry at the same time.
If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be locked in such a place to face future scheming and death threats." Speaking about that, Tapiwa indeed felt sorry and guilty.
Bella once lived in a brothel and was a courtesan. She was locked in that kind of cage and it must have taken her a great deal of effort to be free. For whatever reasons she might have had, she sold herself to Tapiwa.
