Chapter 65

• By midday, Dalilah arrived at Dahstan’s house with a number of items she had brought from her home. Several men were helping her carry her belongings into the room that Rakia had occupied. Dashtan had told Mrs Hunt about Dalilah’s arrival, who would be staying at her house. The woman also helped the men Dalilah had hired to lift her belongings. While the people were busy stealing their belongings, she observed every corner of Dashtan’s house. She was checking the living room, where there wasn’t much stuff. There was only a piano and a sofa set, complete with a table in the middle, a flat-screen television, and a sofa in front of the TV with a soft, fluffy fur rug underneath.
• “Ma’am, everything is finished.” One of the men she hired to help her move in reported to her when their work was done. Dalilah went out with the man and gave some money to the man she had spoken to before he left. After the men left, Dalilah began to take out her clothes and organize them in the closet, along with the belongings that she had brought to Dashtan’s house. It didn’t take long to do that since she only had a few things.
• She came out of the room after everything was done and she had changed. She didn’t see Mrs Hunt anywhere, but she didn’t care; she went to Dashtan’s workspace door. But just as she was about to open the door, it was locked. There was a keypad that closed the entrance to the room in the form of a code. Dalilah, who knew nothing about the code Dashtan might have, left the room and moved to Dashtan’s bedroom. She opened the door slowly so as not to make a sound and sneaked in like a thief. The scent of perfume she didn’t recognize greeted her senses.
