AMIR

I pace round the office " how can you say that you have nothing. I didn't pay you just to say that you got nothing. My wife is being held captive" I was filled with rage.

" you need to calm down Amir. Anger wouldn't solve anything "

" don't tell what to do, Khalifa . How do you expect me to calm down when my wife might be in danger right now. It two fucking weeks already. Two weeks since Ameera is kidnapped and you want me to calm down? "

Khalifa immediately flew back to Nigeria at the news of my wife's disappearance. He really is a good friend.

" I understand your concern but please Amir for the sake of Ameera let's do this calmly"

"fine"

I turn to the officers " officers, you need to look deeper. Have you checked all the CCTV along the road? There should at least be a clue ,after all my father's driver has already given you the car's number"

" I know sir, we've check all the CCTV and didn't find anything. They might have gone into another car at a point for safety. Please sir, we know what you're going through and we promise to bring a good news when next we come. Have a nice day" the officer left

" arhhhhhh, I swear I will kill that person who think he has the gut to kidnap my wife. I swear it Khalifa " he looked at me in pity

" please calm down. Let pray the kidnappers call soon"

" I pray they do" we went out of the office( I have a office at home) and join the rest at the sitting room.

My parents were sat at the love seat, Ameera's parents were each sitting on a single chair ,her mother was crying while her father was consoling her. , my brother nasir was also here, hindatu and her husband were sitting on the three sitter. I noticed how hindatu has been giving this hate look, I wonder what I did to her. Sadiya sat far from them with eyes full of tears. When each and everyone saw Khalifa and I, they both were expecting to ear a good news

" What did the officers say?" Ameera's dad asked disturbed

" I'm sorry. They couldn't find anything "

His wife cried out beside him " find my daughter for me. She has never done anything wrong to anybody. Please Amir find my baby"

" I'll mama, I promise to look for her whatever the circumstances. "

" Thank you my son" said Ameera's dad

I look at my parents and saw that my mom was also crying on my father's shoulder, she love Ameera like her own daughter . That got me thinking, did I judge Ameera wrongly? Was she innocent after all? Non of them know of my divorce with Ameera. The day she was supposed to pack turn out the day she was kidnapped. Fate

I was brought out of my thoughts by the ring of my phone.

Unknown number

I swipe to answer

" Hello? "

" No need for pleasantries. We have your wife"

" WHERE THE HELL IS MY WIFE, WHEN I LAY MY HANDS ON YOU JUST KNOW THAT YOU'RE DEAD" I BELLOWED OUT.

My parents and Ameera's parents rose up immediately , eager to know who called .

" That is if you don't die first " the man answered back with a sadistic laugh

"

soon you'll know but first there is someone you need to talk to" and with that the line became silent for a while

" well, well, well. "

"

" of course it's me. Our brave Amir even has the gut to ask for his wife. The wife you say you cared about but don't trust?. You should be ashamed of yourself. That aside, I have always told you that you will regret your actions. All that is happening to you and your lovely wife, who do you think is the master piece behind it? It's me of course and that with the help of someone so dear to you"

"

She laughed at my confused tone

" you are stupid after all and here I thought you are brave and sensible "

"

In due time you'd know. Here is someone you might want to talk with"

" Amir,please help me. My baby ,Amir . Help my ba--" Ameera chocked out through the phone before the phone was collected by samira

"

Dear Amir, of course I will come and get you but after I kill your stupid ex wife "

"

good bye" she hanged up

" NO PLEASE . hello?, hello? "

I tried calling back but her phone was already switched off.

I turn to look at the rest " she hanged up"

" who was that? "

" the kidnapper"

" let me call the police " Khalifa suggested and went along to call them

" what did they say?" my parents asked

" they didn't say anything yet, they only said that Ameera was with them"

" I heard you call a name, is it someone we know? " Ameera father asked

" yes it someone I know back at the UK "

" what did my daughter do to her? Please help my baby"

" I....

The sound of the door opening interrupted

" we came as we received your call. What did you find? " the police rushed inside as they said this

" The kidnapper just called . Here is the phone, I recorded all the conversation we had. "

My phone was set to record any conversation in case the kidnappers call.

They took the phone from me and listen attentively to the conversation. When they were done they look up at me.

" she made mention of someone dear to you also helping in the kidnapping. Who do you suspect? " no one in my family would betray me so I shake my head

" I don't suspect anybody. I think she only said that to confuse us"

" Mr bula, they might be a kidnapper but rest assured that since she said it then there is a mole among you. We need to find out who that mole is, by doing so we would know where your wife is"

**

baddest, I'm so happy this plan is going according to plan" samira went forward to kiss him

" I'm happy for you. We can now take all their money and then kill the wife" the man said

" of course . Have you called my dad yet? "

" yes, he is on his way already"

I was sprawled on the floor, I couldn't move. My body was so weak, I was only fed with just two slices of bread and a cup of water a day. I need to get out of here if not I and my baby will die of starvation. I don't want to die like this, I really don't.

I looked at samira and bashir who are practically having sex on the chair. You heard me right, 'bashir'

Aisha ex boyfriend. I was also as shocked when I saw him

FLASHBACK

"Please Faisal, let me go. Please, this is not who you are" Faisal was the person who kidnapped me that night at the party.

" I'm already sick and tired of hearing you say that to me. I need this job Ameera. It is my only way out . I need to do this for me to be healthy again. "

" I'll give you the money. I promise, I'll. Don't do this dirty job for them"

" shut up already Ameera. My boss is here to see you"

" What boss are you talking about? "

" see for yourself " he went to open the door

Two fancy looking people came in and I quickly recognize the lady as samira

" you? "

" yes me. Are you surprised little Ameera? "

" what do you want from me. I did nothing to you samira"

" oh dear, you have done something since you married amir"

" you can now have him for all I care. He had already ended things"

She tsked" don't you think I know of that, I'm the masterpiece after all".

" just let me go please, I beg of you Samira. I promise to stay far away from Amir please samira"

" little girl, you don't tell me what to do. I'm the boss here"

" who am I seeing or is this not the Holy Ameera I once knew " a new voice said. It was the guy that came In with samira. He wore a designer shade so I couldn't identify who he was quickly .

" who are you? " I asked

"he removed his shade " do you now remember be"

I look at him closely

" bashir? " I shrieked out

" of course, you now remember. What a small world, so we are meant to meet again"

End of flash back
