AUBURN DISTRICT, CLARE IN IRELAND; LUTTRELLSTOWN CASTLE RESORT
Madden took off his shoe and changed to a pair of slides, holding his shoes in his left hand. He went straight to the parlor and was welcomed with darkness; just like how his life is,DARK.
He turned on the light switch, everywhere brightened red immediately;the bulbs are actually dark red and kinda bloody just like him.
"Big bro,I thought I changed the bulb,why did you change it back?" A sweet tiny voice suddenly said at his back startling him completely.
He turned back and saw his younger sister, holding a stack of plantain chips, wearing a bunny looking pajamas,a pair of flip - flops and a babish head warmer.
Her almond - shaped freckled hazel eyes were narrowed slightly at him,her eyes threatening him. "You dare to change it?"
Madden kept his hand on his chest dramatically before pushing her forehead slightly with his index finger. "Why did you come here without telling me in advance?"
"Don't you dare change the topic." She glared "And I've told you that you should stop pushing my head." She sulked.
He slumped on the couch in exhaustion and creased his brows together "I had an hectic day today at work, I'm so exhausted."
"You're just trying to ignore the question." Tyra humped before fetching out her phone,she failed a number and within a few rings the person picked it.
"I'm ordering for bulbs, bright and beautiful ones that make an environment more clear,lively and cheerful."
Madden looked at his sister in contempt, something he'll change after she's gone.
"Kingstown Estate; Luttrellstown castle resort." Tyra gave the address and ended the call.
"Done." Tyra beamed and turned back to face her brother, she saw him staying on the couch with his eyes closed.
His brows were creased together,his perfect chiseled fair face were pinched and stretched to a frown,the lines of his eyes were wrinkled,his soft perfect thin lips were already dry,his beautiful chestnut brown hair was disorganized and scattered,he must have really been worn out because his face is screaming exhaustion.
Tyra felt her heart pinching in ache as she saw the state her brother is in. "Why are you tiring yourself too much?" She walked to his back and started massaging his temples.
"What will you eat for dinner?,Mama chef left some deserts." She asked, caressing his temples softly
"I already had dinner." He replied,reling in comfort of what his sister was doing on him.
Tyra looked down at her brother in doubt "Why do I feel like you're lying?"
"Whatever" He flatly said;he stood up suddenly, disrupting Tyra from her work before walking inside.
"Where are you going to?" Tyra called out behind him
"I need to freshen up." He said coolly before entering the elevator.
Tyra looked at the back of her brother and sighed heavily,he has been stressing himself too much and she doesn't want to lose him, he's her last family.
"Should I prepare some midnight snacks for you?" She yelled out but who's she kidding, he's long gone and can't hear her words again.

BACK TO MARCHE DISTRICT IN ITALY; VELVET VIXENS' DOMAIN; THE LILITH'S COVEN...2AM
Shante stood in front of the girl's body silently,she stared blankly at her as slow and silent tears poured down from her eyes,down to her cheeks, down to her chin and some were pouring on her free transparent nightie making it glue to her body, exposing her snow white breasts.
I'm so sorry, I'm sorry; her inner mind kept on saying but she just went mute,the only thing that was distinguishing her from a statue is the tears that were coming out of her liveless life.
"Madam Te??" Someone called out opening the door.
Shante quickly cleaned her face with her palms and sniffed in. She blinked her eyes continuously making sure all tears go out,after she arranged herself she turned her face to the door.
"Madam Te, I've been looking for you all over,I just decided to check here and alas I found you." The girl mused but Shante didn't even respond.
Feeling weird Mae;her second lieutenant; looked at her but found out that her boss' mind wasn't there "Madam Te,are you okay?"
"Hmn?" Shante asked confusedly, looking somehow lost
Mae stared at Shante worriedly, looking at her pitifully "Are you okay ma?"
"Yeah...yh...yh...yea..yh I am, don't I look fine?" She mumbled incoherently, spacing out once in a while.
"No,you don't look fine."Mae spoke softly gazing at her worriedly.
"Why did you conclude that way?" Shante asked, trying her best to get back to her normal self.
"Your countenance says it all and I also noticed that after you kill San,you became down and dull and you showed us your emotions;that you do solemnly. You became strange and sad, that's unlike the Madam Te I know "
Shante smiled bitterly before looking at her calmly "Don't worry, your Madam Te will be back before sun sets."
"Madam Teee..."
"Trust me this once"
"I've never doubted you before Madam Te."
"Then don't dare doubt me ever" Shante smiled slightly at her before fixing her eyes back on the dead San.
"What are we going to do with her body,are we going to just leave her here?" Mae probed, looking at Shante curiously.
Shante looked out the window and sighed heavily before looking back at San again "Send her back to her family and also send ten million to them,tell them to use it give San a befitting burial." She instructed
"Okay ma." Mae said and was about to go when Shante called her back
"Maema..."
Mae looked back and saw Shante looking at her, giving her sweetest smile to her
"Madam Teeee..."
"Thank you so much, you've made me feel alive again." She smiled at her gratefully
Mae chuckled in courtesy looking at her respectfully "It's only right you're like this Madam Te,if you're down as our head then we will also be down,so..."
Shante just smiled warmly at her before dismissing her.
