At the Harrison's house the next morning Sadie woke up and
went in the bathroom to check herself in the mirror. There was
a knock at the door and Carmen came in.
Carmen:good morning Miss Sadie I was going to buy at the mall do you need something?
Sadie:no, thanks.........Carmen do you see me intelligent?
Carmen:(laughs) what kind of question is that?
Sadie:come on Carmen I'm serious
Carmen:you want me to tell you?........I don't know much school
Sadie:what does it matter...I know someone that doesn't know school...he knows how to paint but he's really intelligent
Carmen:ah so this is a new guy?
Sadie:and if I tell you you promise you will tell no one?
Carmen:I can't promise....you know I can't lie to your father
Sadie:you're annoying
Carmen:I'm going to go now..you're sure you don't need anything?....maybe something for this new guy?
Sadie and Carmen both laughed and Carmen was about to
leave when Sadie talked again.
Sadie:Carmen did you see Victoria this morning?
Carmen:I have just went to wake her up
Sadie:so she's here?
Carmen:where do you thought she was?.......you know you're acting strange this morning
Sadie:why?......I don't see anything different
Carmen:love...... can change a person so much
At the brothel the girls were in the living room. Some were on
the sofa watching TV and the others were playing cards on a
table nearby. They were having some fun and Dahlia who
always was the one to begin new jokes and things to make the
girls laugh she decided to act as Jerome. She was imitating him
very well and the girls were laughing.
Dahlia:you Poppy come here in front of me
Poppy:me....but why always me Jerome?
Verbena:you know if he finds out what you're doing you will not laugh anymore
Iris:you know what me and Jerome doesn't have in common?...............religion.....he thinks he's god and I don't
The girls were laughing hard.
Dahlia:you do know who command here right Iris?.........me I'm the one that command here

statement.

Dahlia:how did I was?
Jerome:I can't tell you you know better than me...........come on...show us.....show us how

Dahlia:(looking at Jude)..I don't know Jerome
Jerome:are you sure Dahlia?
Dahlia:I'm sure Jerome I don't know who it was
Jerome walked towards Jude and bent down in front of her.
Jerome:do you know something Rose?
Jude said nothing; Jerome put his hands on her legs and began
moving it. Then he stopped and moved up and began to walk
away when he turned again.
Jerome:IT CAN'T BE THAT NO ONE KNOW ANYTHING.....good I give you a choice....how nice I am right?......if no one talks than everyone will be punished.......so no one knows anything?...it's strange....you don't want to talk?....fine don't than I will be the one to decide what to do

Jamie:she doesn't work here anymore?
Owner:to tell you the truth we had an argument and she left and I was shocked...she never acted like that...I don't know what got in to her......did something happened officer?

Owner:no, I didn't and she didn't even came to pick her pay check
Jamie:thanks
And with that he was leaving when the owner called him again.
Owner:officer.....if you see her tell her to come pick up her check
At the Harrison's villa Victoria was in the garden. She was fixing
the hair clip she once put on Sadie's bed side table. She was
even having memories of Sadie when she was little.
Victoria's thoughts
'At first when she came in this house I used to spend a lot of
time looking at her...I never saw a girl so hyper and her face
was always lit....Stuart couldn't choose a prettier girl then
her....her eyes so shiny and with an innocent smile.....she got
me stunned.....you can imagine Stuart....in that moment I had
to be happy I've got the family I always wanted...but in that
moment I felt a cold breeze around me....something cold that
told me to be careful..but careful from what?
Flashback
Sadie younger was playing with Stuart, they were throwing the
ball to each other while Victoria was sitting on a bench looking
at them.
Victoria:don't throw it so high Stuart or Sadie is going to hurt her self
Stuart:don't worry Victoria she's fine
Stuart threw again the ball high and this time Sadie fell.
Victoria:Sadie
Victoria and Stuart both went near her.
Victoria:Sadie is you alright?
Stuart:are you hurt?
Sadie:yes, daddy I hurt my leg
Victoria:let's take her inside...let me help you
Sadie:no.......daddy can you carry me
Of course Stuart picked her up and went inside with her.
End of flashback
Victoria's thoughts
'I felt so cold in that moment.....I felt so alone....and while time
passed I felt even more lonely.....but now after yesterday I'm
sure that things can change....and there is an open door again
that was closed for so long'
In that moment Stuart came out and walked towards Victoria.
Stuart:what are you doing Victoria?
