### Chapter 22
*In the name of Allah ❤️❤️❤️ Let's begin! 💕💕💕*
[An abandoned arena near the island; blue moonlight casts tense shadows over those present. Chris suddenly appears in a servant's outfit, his light-purple hair glinting under the stars, his brown eyes carrying a mysterious spark.]
He grips a weapon resembling a blade against Sajjad's carpet.
**Chris** (with a deceptive smile):
"Sir, I carried out your orders to the letter."
[Sajjad slowly turns his head; his yellow eyes glow in the dark like a wounded wolf.]
**Sajjad** (voice calm, hiding erupting fury):
"What is this? Do you want me to break your bones?"
**Raf** (leaps from the shadows, face showing real shock):
"Don't tell me you betrayed us!"
**Chris** (laughs like a child who escaped punishment):
"Of course not, idiot!" *smacks his head*
"I held off Lady Dahlia's battalion that was behind you and just wanted to joke with Sir… but unfortunately, they're now surrounding us." (serious)
[He points to the horizon where rows of armed soldiers appear behind a rocky barrier.]
**Sajjad** (laughs):
"Fine, let's attack first."
**Raf** (happily):
"What are we going to do to them?"
**Sajjad** (coldly gripping his pistol):
"Kill them, of course."
**Fox** (shouting from the back, voice trembling):
"What?! You're going to kill?!"
**Raf** (shoves Fox away):
"Shut your mouth, you!"
[Sajjad slowly raises the pistol, eyes on Dahlia who stands frozen, while Riman trembles.]
**Dahlia** (voice nearly breaking):
"I don't understand anymore…"
**Sajjad** (as he pulls the trigger):
"Just because your battalion attacked us at the worst time… now I'll seize the opportunity."
[A single gunshot cracks the night… but the blood that scatters isn't Dahlia's—it's her deputy Scar's, who tried to sneak in.]
Scar, hit by Sajjad's bullet:
"Did you really think you'd fool me with that stealth trick…? You're truly an idiot."
**Scar** (exploding in rage):
"I'll crush you, you—!"
**Dahlia** (angrily):
"Scar, return immediately—you've broken the rules!"
**Scar** (bleeding, shouting):
"My lady… we can't let him win…"
**Dahlia** (furious):
"Come back before I lose my mind…"
**Riman** (sadly):
"Dahlia…"
[The battlefield freezes. Scar and his battalion stand stunned as Dahlia raises her hand in a clear signal.]
**Dahlia** (firmly):
"Do not interfere until I order you… I don't want to see your faces now!"
**Scar** (bows respectfully, eyes confused):
"Understood, my lady…"
The entire battalion leaves, though Scar looks back at Dahlia with worried eyes.
[Chris steps forward; Nizar grips his hand.]
**Chris** (calmly):
"Sir, I'll take Nizar and leave."
**Nizar** (shouts stubbornly):
"No! I won't leave!"
**Raf** (steps forward threateningly, fist clenched):
"Nizar, leave or I'll beat you senseless!"
**Nizar** (laughs carelessly):
"You call that a threat?!"
**Sajjad** (voice slicing the air like a sword):
"Enough! Nizar, go!"
[Chris carries Nizar away as the latter resists, his voice fading into the distance.]
**Sajjad** (turns to Dahlia, eyes blazing):
"Dahlia… explain what's happening."
"Do you want to challenge me?" (with an angry glare)
[Dahlia catches her breath, thinking fast.]
**Dahlia** (to herself):
"Athir is the reason, maybe… but Scar only listens to me. Something's wrong… Sajjad won't understand and will attack. His target will be the weakest link: Riman."
**Raf** (mocking):
"Cat got your tongue?"
[Suddenly, Dahlia rushes with her sword and strikes Sajjad from behind!]
[In a flash, her blade gleams as she hits him!]
**Sajjad** (stumbles forward, black blood seeping from the wound Dahlia gave him):
*To himself:* "If I didn't know you, I'd say you betrayed me… but this stupid mistake is just a chance for me to use it against you!"
[His eyes light up with fury as he spins, grabbing his spear and aiming it at her heart!]
**Dahlia** (retreats quickly, sword arcing defensively):
"You won't be able to!"
[She slams the ground so hard the place shakes. Riman grabs her and pulls her out of danger.]
**Riman**:
"Dahlia… stop!"
"This won't solve anything…"
**Sajjad** (freezes, then gives a low laugh):
"Oh… so you want to run."
"Let's see if you can, Dahlia…"
[He signals Raf lightly—suddenly, Dahlia and Riman vanish in an orange light!]
Before they disappear, Sajjad says:
"That's how we solve things here, my lady… if you like it."
"You're in the wrong place." *smirks*
---
[Scene shifts:]
[An underground cell, damp rock walls. Dahlia opens her eyes to find herself chained!]
**Dahlia** (gripping her sword in rage):
"Sajjaad!"
[On the wall, a message written in blood:]
*"The queen is in the cage… the game begins now."*
[Sajjad sits on an iron chair in another cell, his shadow swaying like a caged beast. A screen shows Dahlia resisting in her underground cell.]
**Dahlia** (screaming, punching the walls):
"Let me out now!"
**Sajjad** (leans forward, chin on clasped hands):
"I won't let you out… you're a burden I'm glad to be rid of." *laughs*
"We're on Destruction Island—blowing this place up could kill us all. And don't forget the stolen weapons…" *smiles*
"My trap is now your home."
**Dahlia** (pauses, then slams the wall, cracks appear):
"I'll break you and this prison!"
"I'll tear you apart…"
**Sajjad** (points at the screen):
"Even inside this jail, your physical strength can't save you." *leans back*
"I used to leave enemies here… but you're the first to enter it willingly because of your stupidity."
**Dahlia** (eyes burning):
"My stupidity, you spoiled brat…"
**Riman** (holding a disturbed Fox):
"How long will we stay here? If you're going to kill us, just do it!"
**Sajjad** (eyes flicker in the dark):
"Until I finish my mission… you helpless queen."
**Dahlia** (annoyed):
"This jerk is mocking his mistress…"
**Sajjad** (as if he didn't hear):
**Dahlia** (sighs, speaks seriously):
"Sajjad, if we cooperate, we'll increase our chances of winning. Let us out…" *suppressing anger*
He replies seriously:
"Dahlia, do you think I'm stupid?" *grabs the cell bar*
"Let you roam free while you're my enemy? Returning Carlos Organization's weapons is *your* mission… you're dreaming." *sarcastically*
**Dahlia** (to herself):
"I was trying to return the weapons quickly after we cooperate easily, without bloodshed…" *feels defeated*
**Dahlia** (angrily):
"At least let Riman go—she's innocent. I'm the one who tried to use you…"
**Sajjad**:
"So you confess…" *smiling, angering her more*
**Sajjad** (seriously):
"But I won't let her leave. She stays with you… she's a good leverage card against Carlos Organization."
**Dahlia** (shocked):
"So you know…"
**Sajjad** (smiling):
"Yes. If Athir tries to use Riman as a card, he can't abandon her—according to Carlos laws. Everyone sacrifices to save the leader, no matter the cost. She's the main info hub… trivial, but useful for a rule-follower like you."
**Riman** (to herself):
"So that's why Grandpa told me I'd be safe…"
**Sajjad** stands up, crushing the chair under pressure.
*To himself:* "I must find the main gang quickly before the organization interferes and crushes the innocents among us…" *serious*
**Dahlia** (seriously):
"Sajjad, let us go before I destroy this place with my power…"
**Sajjad** (bored):
"You won't dare. And screaming won't help either."
**Dahlia** (screaming in rage):
"Damn you, Sajaaad!"
Her scream echoes through the entire place.
**Raf** (annoyed):
"Sajjad, are we going to keep listening to her annoying voice?"
**Sajjad** (leaving, uninterested):
"Don't let them out. I'll go find some info…"
He exits.
**Raf** (even more annoyed):
"You're leaving me with them?!"
"I'd rather shave my head than listen to her voice!"
---
[A small café on the island's edge, waves crashing below. A woman sits in a dark corner, long black hair cascading like a shadow. Her golden eyes gleam behind sunglasses. She plays with the rim of her steaming coffee cup.]
She gazes at the sky, then lets the wind take her hat.
Speaking into her phone:
"Don't worry… leave him to me. I'll take care of him today."
**Woman** (with a nostalgic tone):
"I missed you… my darling Sajjad."
[Her smile briefly reveals sharp fangs… then vanishes.]
