He is the master player of this game.
She is the prize in which he strives for.
In sinister ways, he moves and intends to win.
A paradise so dark, he introduces his victims to, and only with her, she gets the privilege of seeing beauty without the pain.

But one thing he'll never understand is that she has the power to resist it all......unless he does the unimaginable, to make her finally surrender.

To the Dark Paradise.

Paradise:Lost In Darkness

The time for the trip was here and no matter how much she tried, Kate wasn't too keen about it. She couldn't pin point what exactly was the issue but she couldn't relax completely and enjoy the moment. 


Deep within, she felt something amiss about this whole trip but decided to not say anything, as to not ruin anyone's excitement. Both Nick and Anna could not stop talking about it. 


Nick's older brother had lent them his boat to travel with, to Paradise Island. This gave them relief that they didn't have to rent out a boat. 


With 30 minutes to spare before the others arrived, she set out to do something important. 


It was so important that she didn't want any regrets to linger on her trip. 


Down the street, Max paced back and forth in his living room, trying to decide on his next move. He kept debating on whether he should go over to Kate's house or let things be, until she returned from her trip.
