Chapter 48: The Devil

They reached the mansion and everyone got out of the car to go inside but Aliya was walking to the security room.

"Aliya, Aliya where're you going?" Yazeed quickly caught up to her stopping her advancement as he stare at her jittery figure in confusion and worry.

"To the security room" she said already impatient.

"What are you gonna do there, Zyn is asleep by this time, Aliya it close to dawn".
