Diana decides to make an electronic security system for the palace, but that will require a lot of money, so she decides to spend the night looking for money that Uncle David may have saved. "How am I going to live in this palace on my own without any protection or means of securing the palace gate." While she is sitting, her eyes fall on a painting painted for Uncle David's wife, and she stands and removes the painting from its place to find an old safe behind it. Diana keeps looking for the keys to this safe until she finds it in Uncle David's box, in which he kept important things. She hurries and opens the safe and is surprised by what It contains money and some important drugs and a set of papers for these drugs, which Uncle David invented and the reasons for their use, and after his wife's jewelry.
Diana felt happy, and quickly contacted one of the electronic security companies to provide the palace with an electronic security network that helps protect minors from theft and from the entry of any unwanted intruder, and despite the high cost of this protection, Diana, after she implemented the new security system, felt very safe.
And in the evening, the thief comes back again, and he is surprised by the change of the palace door and the installation of cameras everywhere, and he leaves immediately, Diana sits and thinks and says, "I must get a job, I can't sit like this."
Diana was looking for a job, and after his suffering, she got a job as a waitress in a major restaurant
Diana is happy to get a job opportunity, and she does her job very hard and actively, which made her manager reward her for her remarkable effort and activity.
Once her manager asked her to work at his casino, Diana refused and said, "I know what happens with the girls in these casinos and I can't work for them because all of her business is illegal.
The manager tells Diana, "I guarantee that no one will approach you, and no one will ask you for anything other than what you do."
Diana agreed after the manager told her that he would not ask her for anything outside of her work and that he had chosen her for her loyalty, work and remarkable activity, in addition to that working in the club would raise her salary to double.
Diana started practicing her new job amidst fear and anxiety that soon ended after several days of her gambling club, during which she was not subjected to any harassment, which made her work without worry or fear.
One day Diana came back from work and was happy because she was able to get a vacation for the first time in a month, which is the duration of her work at the gambling club.
Diana sat thinking and remembering Uncle David, with tears in her eyes and saying, "I missed you, Uncle David." Then she repeated that she used her vacation to inspect all the rooms of the palace, and find out its secrets.
During Diana's inspection of the palace, she found many things that she did not know. She discovered basements below the palace, as if this palace had been established in a time of war. These basements after Diana discovered them and walked with them, walking through them to take the abandoned places behind the palace, which resemble the stables of old horses.
Diana was happy with what she had discovered from the basement under the palace, which made her continue to discover the secrets of the palace, so she remembered in one of the old films when the library was moving through a hidden button, so she breathed to enter a secret room, so she laughed and rushed to a huge library in one of the rooms and kept looking for any trace of the place of a key or A button that makes this library move
Diana kept searching until she lost hope of finding any trace of this button, which she imagined was in the library, so she decided to take a book to read before bed. Kaya, canned food, cooler, clothes and a bathroom, but when I grabbed the cans and found them expired, she smiled and said, "I will get rid of these cans and I will bring others and I will use this place as a*****e.
The next morning Diana went to the store and bought a lot of cans and supplies she needed.
She put everything she brought from the store in the secret room, Diana took the rooms of the palace, and says, "I never imagined that I would own a palace like this wonderful palace."
After Diana's vacation ends, she returns to her work. The Gambling Club. All the club's employees treat her with affection and respect. Everyone knows that she is a good girl and does not like to participate in suspicious business.
Once the manager asked her to go to the playing table; Because the person in charge of it did not come today, so she tells the manager and says, "Okay, I'm going to run it until the person responsible for it returns."
The rest of the bettors wonder what he is saying, and one of them asks him and says, "How are we going to bet on this girl?" The man laughs and says, "We will change the way we play, what do you think instead of gambling on numbers or any other type such as roulette, how about each of us placing our bets on the table, and everyone Who among us has from twelve in the morning until six in the morning a chance to r**e this girl and kill her after that, whoever fails loses his bet and the winner is the one who wins the bet.
If the five bets fail to r**e and kill her, then she will win all the bets. You have five days from now, so let's draw a lottery to see who comes first and who comes next.
To begin with, what will be the amount of the bet, the rest of the people agreed that the amount of the bet would be five million dollars, they cast a ballot for who would start and then who would come next, and after they voted, their elder tells them that the bet will start a week from now. One of the bettors asked him, "Why don't we start today, Jack?" Jack tells him, "During this week, we'll find out all about her, her working hours, her home, everything about her life, so we know who we're dealing with."
The date of the bet was agreed upon, and it is a week from now. The place of the bet will be Diana's house and the method of executing the bet. Each of them must try on his own day from twelve in the morning until six in the morning to r**e the girl and then kill her, and the time should not exceed the specified time, In the event that someone fails to break into her house or r**e and kill her and it is time to leave, let him leave immediately

Diana noticed that one of these people is following her and watching her, so she pretends not to see him and runs away from him, so he cannot watch her and returns to the rest of the people to tell them that he failed to know her house.
As soon as the rest of the people heard this, they laughed at him and mocked him. Diana entered the palace and felt safe and reassured. She spoke to herself and said, “I feel that these bad guys have agreed on me.
The next day, Diana calls her manager at work and tells him that she suffers from the Corona virus and that she will not be able to come to work until she is completely healed.
Over the time period, this period, this period, makes us successful in getting to work, even if necessary.
Throughout the week, Diana kept checking it in the palace and trying to uncover its secrets, to discover after the compounds that Uncle David had discovered as he recorded in his private book the name of each compound and what it causes when injected to any person. They are injected with temporary paralysis for a period not exceeding half an hour, including what causes temporary blindness and hallucinations, and another makes a person speak frankly and bring out what is inside without lying. Diana was astonished and said, "While Uncle David was using these things!" On the other hand, the gamblers kept going to the casino daily and asking about Diana's house, but no one knew where this girl lived.
Diana hid these materials and had the feeling that one day she might need them in case she was harmed by anyone and would use them in self-defence.
Diana sits browsing Uncle David's diary to discover that this palace was used during the American Civil War in 1861, which lasted for four years, and which was related to the s*****y of blacks. This palace is used to hide during the outbreak of armed conflict. Uncle David's grandfather was a black man who had always stood against the use of blacks as slaves and advocated justice and equality between whites and blacks.
Diana felt happy about the historical status of this palace, which no one knows anything but that it is a frightening old palace. Diana says, "I do not find this palace as frightening as people say about it. It is a palace full of ghosts and goblins, but on the contrary, I found safety and comfort in it."
After two weeks, Diana decided to return to her work, saying, "Now I can return to my work, I think that these people have lost their passion for following me, and when she returns to work, her club colleague tells her that some men in the club who are permanently sitting at the gambling table were asking about her every day and they insisted on asking." Her address, but they told them that she did not know anything about her, and she told her, "Someone almost killed me to tell him, I swore to him that I knew nothing about you except that you were a colleague at work." The thing is, why are these dangerous men asking about you?"
Diana tells her, "It's just that I stopped someone and slapped him in the face when he tried to molest me."
Rwanda put her hand to her mouth and said, "How dare I do this, these men are very dangerous, and the simplest thing they have is killing.
Rwanda's fellow gambling club tells her, "Diana, you have to leave before someone tells them to come to the club."
Diana wears her coat in preparation for leaving the club, so she is surprised by one of these villains.
Diana comments, "It's none of your business, you bastard, what do you want from me?"
The man blushes and says, "I want your life, kiss you and see what I can do with you."
Diana felt afraid, but she tries to pretend otherwise, so she takes off her coat and goes back to doing her work, so that this bastard does not feel afraid of him.
