Friday.
Jessy went to Hannah's room. She smiled broadly seeing the baby's angelic face.
"Hannah, how are you and the baby?" Jessy asked.
Hannah's face was plastered with a mega-watt smile.
"I'm fine and I'm good. I've never been so happy in my entire life until I give birth to my child. Previously, I thought my happiness and my life purely revolve around Prince Zain. But now, I couldn't care less anymore about Zain, as long I have my baby by my side I'm perfectly alright," she replied in a cheerful voice.
Jessy was amazed by Hannah's transformation. Her friend used to wear a somber expression on her face due to the unrequited love she felt for Zain, but now her face has that certain glow of someone enjoying her life. "You indeed, look great today, Hannah!"
"Indeed I am," answered Hannah.
"Can you tell me what's your secret?" she asked.
Hanny kissed her baby's little hands. "My baby gives me happiness, I feel great waking up everyday seeing my baby's face. It's just a mother thingy...thing...you know," she laughed.
"That's marvelous! I'm happy for you!" Jessy was genuinely happy for her friend who suffered a lot in Zain's hands. "So, does your heart no longer bleeding for Zain's love?" she asked.
Hannah let out a bittersweet smile. "I still love him, so much. My love for him never changes. But now that I have a baby to take care of my priorities change. I will just focus all my energy on my baby. As for the rest, they no longer matter to me. I can live without them," she said bravely.
Jessy was amazed by Hannah's new principle in life.
"Aww, I'm impressed by your remarkable transformation, Hannah. I'm so glad that you were able to divert your time, attention and love to something more important and valuable. Motherhood suits you. It's nice seeing your face filled with happiness for a change," then Jessy paused for a few seconds. "By the way, is Zain having a good time bonding with his son?"

Hannah smiled. "Definitely! Zain loves his son very much," she gushes. "And he seemed to be friendly and more civil towards me, unlike before when our son was not yet born," she elaborated.
"Hmm, I hope he can learn to give your family a chance. You know, I'm kind of hoping that he will marry you one day so that the baby will grow up into a loving family. I wish Zain can love you back Hannah because you are such a good woman, you deserved to be happy," Jessy earnestly hope the best for her friend.
"Aww, let me hug the baby, he is so adorable!" Jessy raves.
"Sure!" Hannah placed her son in Jessy's arms.
Jessy spends the next thirty minutes hugging and caressing the baby's feet, the baby erupted into a cute smile every time she tickles the soles of his feet. She was having a good time playing with the baby, she could spend the rest of her day listening to his soft murmuring sound coming from his mouth.
Reluctantly, she returned the baby into his mother's loving arms.
Time to get out of the room and resumed her duties in the clinic.
"Bye Hannah, bye baby! See you some other time. Baby, don't grow too fast or else you will lose your cuteness," she joked and laughed.
Hannah smiled. "Bye Jess!"
Jessy exited the room and went back to the clinic, the smile still lingers in her face.

Sapphire Blue Sky Tower.
Inside Adam's condo unit in the city.
Adam was done putting his clothes and stuff into the traveling bag.
Caden was teary-eyed watching his friend. "Bro, how is this happening? I'm gonna cry. I don't want to see you go. Why do you have to leave me alone here? I can't live without you!" his face contorted in a comical pain.

Adam glanced at his friend's face. "Cut the crap bro, I'm not going anywhere. I will just go on vacation in the Facility for two years. After that, I will be back here. So please take care of this condo for me," he said while putting his toothbrush and toothpaste in the pouch bag.
"How could you go on vacation for two years? Why don't you just bring me along with you? I could always drive for you. I'm your chauffeur, your manager, and your servant, all in one." Caden continues to grumble.
Adam chuckled. "In the place where I'm going, there is no car for you to drive. Besides, my brother and I will stay in one room. There's no extra room for another person like you. All I want for you to do is take care of the three buildings that I owned and you need to check on them on monthly basis, just in case the tenants will have some complaints regarding the spaces that they were renting. You need to act according to their complaints and if you encountered difficulty, you can always ask Aunt Ruth and Aunt Ruby's help and guidance. Seek their advice so that you know what to do. Now that I'm gone for a few years, you can go to school and take culinary arts course if you want so that you won't get bored. Or take any online courses, whatever is it that suits your fancy. Make yourself productive and active, okay?"
Caden groaned and sighed, he sat on the edge of the sofa. "Can I live in the Facility too?" he asked again.
"No. That place is teeming with vampires. You don't want to find yourself with bites on your neck, right?" Adam said.
Caden pouted, he placed his hands on his neck. "But Princess Abigail is there, she will protect me!"
Adam laughed. "My sister will be the one sucking your blood," he said jokingly.
"You're a liar! Your sister and I are good friends, she won't hurt me," Caden insisted.
Adam inspected the traveling bags and a satisfied smile curled up in his lips. "I'm ready to go," he said to Caden.
"You're the only prisoner I know that is excited and happy to go to his prison room," Caden observed wryly.
Adam chuckled. "Why I won't feel happy? My brother and I are going to bond every day, then we'll become close again. And the best thing is, I'm closer to the woman I love so much and to my family. Those are happy moments that I'm looking forward to. It's just small sacrifice that I'm willing to commit myself just to make the two people I love obtain their happiness" he said.
Caden shrugged his shoulders.
"Blah, blah, blah, whatever! You're crazy! You have a good life here and yet you are willing to stay in that room together with your crazy brother? Damn, that is beyond me. I don't get it!" he huffed.

RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.
