I wasn't able to sleep through out the night. I kept thinking of what samira's dad was going to do to me and my baby. I won't let them hurt my babies,they are my only hope on this earth. I raised up my eyes with hands wide open, oh Allah, you're the only one I depend on, please don't forsake me . Bring me out of all this problems, save my babies ya Allah.

The door clicked opened and two burly men came into the room.

" get up" one of them ordered. I didn't waste any time to get up. Their face look terrifying and I don't want to do something that will annoy them.

They direct me outside the room. One of them was at the front and the other was at the back. Let's just say I was in the middle of the two men. If they thought I was going to run, how far do they think I was going to go? Eye roll.

I silently trailed behind the one at the front I wish someone will just pop up from no where to save me like how it's being done in movies. Stop thinking like you're in a movie Ameera, this is real life, my subconscious scolded.

We reach our destination, it was the same room I met samira's dad yesterday. He was already there waiting for our arrival.

" you're here finally" he announced with a sadistic tone

" finally" said samira also.

She was there sitting close to bashir. The two of them were looking at me like I was the slut when infact they are the slut and so many disgusting words. I match their glare.

I was met with a slap

" you stupid girl, how dare you glare at them" samira's dad roar out. I held the left side of my face .i looked at him with so much hatred

" just let me go, I didn't do anything to you people. I don't even know what satisfaction you're going to earn from doing all these. Let me tell you something you don't know, the Bula family aren't fools like you take them to be, I'm very sure that they are searching for me and I'm sure that they are close to finding you. They also don't free those who touch one of them, they will destroy you all" I said through gritted teeth

Samira's dad almost look scared at what I said but quickly covered it up. He knows that what I said was true but he will never admit it.

" yo-u st-pid girl" he stuttered on his words, I internally pat myself for a job well-done, so after all he is scared of the Bula's family and I did good at scaring him with what I said.

I folded my arms matching his glare. I'm sick and tired of being a weakling, I won't let them scare me with all there threat. I will stand up for myself, for my babies, I'm ready to do anything for them.

" tie her up " he ordered when he saw that there was no sign of fear in my eyes. He saw that I was determined to stand up for myself.

The two burly men came forward to tie me up with a rope. They sat me on the floor.

" you all will regret these, I promise you" I threatened

" shut up slut" the person I was expecting to talk finally talked. Samira stride to my side with hatred

." Who do you think you are?. Remember you are a nobody . Don't forget, Amir already dumped your smelly ass" she said with a smirk. Her word hurt me but I won't give her the satisfaction so I smirked back and reply her back

" what about you? He also dumped your stupid ass too"

She was about to pounce on me but she was held back by bashir.

" you need to calm down samira, if you pounce on her like that don't you think she might loose the babies. Don't forget the babies are our main key to bring Amir's dad here" bashir calmly explain to her but she wasn't having it.

" what make you think that Amir's dad will come here. That man knows how to play his game right, "

" trust me samira" bashir said as he held her face and like a sick puppy she succumb to him

" it enough all of you. Samira and bashir, go back to your sit" samira's dad finally talked, he turn to me " and you, you think I don't know what you're trying to do, right. I will let this slide but next time you do any nonsense again, I myself will slice out your throat " he threatened

I internally rolled my eyes and wanted saying ' your daughter started it' but I shut up to avoid any beating. I was lucky he didn't pounce on me the first time.

" Now that we are all settled, let's call my long time friend Alhaji Sani Bula"

What!!?. He was friends with Amir's dad? How?

I have waited for this day to come, I will make sani bula eat his words back. He thinks he is best in everything . Today, he is going to regret what he has ever done to me.

We went to the office as per my dad's order early this morning . He want to meet the famous aliyu turaki who thinks he can take my place at the office. What we met at the office wasn't what I expected.

There was a rubbery incidence at the office and the only things that got missing was the documents that held my signature as the owner of the company and some other important files that shouldn't be seen by a third party . The office is in chaos right now.

I was at the edge of snapping the securities head. If they did there job well this wouldn't have happened

" just relax, Amir. It isn't there fault. It was a well planned rubbery, they had no idea or hand in this. Let's leave it to the police to do there job " said dad. He too wasn't happy about all these . Who would be happy about it, first it was Ameera and now this.

" but dad, something got me thinking. What if this was planned by my employees"

" I have thought of that too, son and I'm sure this Mr turaki man has a hand in it. Let's asked the police what they have found"

We walked to the police as they were questioning my workers. We waited for them to finished before going to talk to them.

" what have you found, officers" dad asked going straight to the point. No need for bitten round the bush.

" sir, something caught our attention when we went through the CCTV. " the officer said as he directed us to a office close by.

" here is what we recorded from the CCTV," he hand my dad the camera in his hand.

Dad play the video as we watch. Their were two figures in black walking into my office, but I couldn't clearer see there faces. I carefully watch the video and something caught my attention, I'm sure that the two figure was a man and a woman and what actually caught my attention was the bracelet round the lady's wrist. I have seen that bracelet somewhere .

" Dad I think this two people are someone I know especially the bracelet on the ladies wrist is my 100% assurance that I know this two. I just don't remember on whose wrist I saw this bracelet "

Dad looked relief that at least we have a trail to follow. The officers also got alerted at what I said.

" Mr amir, please you need to try and remember where it is you have seen this bracelet "

I tried remembering but I .......

" I remember " I finally said, dad and the officer where waiting for me to say who it was.

" I think you should follow me" I said to them and they did nothing but follow me.

We went out of the office as I search for my target.

" sir, these are the files you asked me to prepare " my target came to me

" officer arrest her" I shouted as I point at miss Fatima. She look surprised at my utterance

" sir, please what did I do wrong" she was acting innocent

" you will know what you did wrong when you get to the station" the officer said as he noticed the same bracelet on her wrist.

" move" one of the officer ordered and she quietly surrendered

" Good riddance " I sigh

" I can't believe that miss Fatima will do something as joining hands with the enemies. Her dad was a good friend of mine, he was the one that recommend her for me when you were still in UK" said dad as he can't believe miss Fatima's betrayal.

They took miss Fatima to the police station and the officers suggested that we should all go home that they will continue the investigation from there.

We finally went back home. Well, dad's house to be precise. He suggested that since his house is more spacious, he want us all to stay there until all these problems dies down. Ameera's parents said they prefer to go back to there house but when ever we receive any news from the kidnappers we should call their attention.

Immediately we walk to the house something didn't feel right. Mom wasn't happy, hindatu who still refuse to go back home until Ameera is found too look gloomy and the one that got my attention was Sadiya she was heavily crying like someone died. Dad too noticed

" what happened here? " he demanded in his authoritative tone

" ask this stupid daughter of yours " said mom as she look at Sadiya in disgust

" what did you do sadiya " I asked

She was hiccuping now " I am the betrayal Amir, I'm the mole of the house"

What does she mean by that?

" I don't get what you're trying to say"

" I helped in the kidnapping of Ameera "

" what did you just say? " dad fumed

" she was the one that called and told the them where and when to kidnap Ameera. Matsiya ciya kawai ( useless girl) " mom hissed

I stood still like a statue trying to digest this new info. I just can't believe that my little sister would do something like that to Ameera. Why?

" how could you, Sadiya?. What offence did Ameera did to you for you to betray us like this? " I vent out

" pleas-se fo-rgive me, yaya"

" if you say any more words I will backhand you right now. You better start talking, how did it happened" dad demanded

She started by telling us how she received a call one day from samira. She said she didn't know who Samira was at that time not until samira start to threaten her with what she has done before, hidden from all of us.

" what did she threatened you with" mom angrily asked.

" there was this guy called bashir. He was my boyfriend at the time but no one knew of him. He-

" I thought you liked Khalifa. " I asked

" yes, at the time Khalifa didn't know of my feelings for him. I met bashir at a bakery shop,we exchange numbers and that was how we became friends. For like two weeks after our meeting, he asked me to be his girlfriend and I agree to him. I never knew he was a Dan iska( bad boy). He club and do lots of things. There was one night he called me to please help him, he said he was drunk and couldn't drive and I should please come and pick him up from the club he was at. That day, mom and dad weren't at home and you are in your section of the house. I went to him in a taxi, I thought it was this normal club were you go and dance but it was more than that. "....

She shakily breath out " I met him with his friends all sniffing cocaine on the table and each having a prostitute on there laps. I was angry at him because he lied to me that he doesn't take drug . I slapped him for lying and cheating . Before I know it, I felt a middle being injected on my neck and I became unconscious. He drugged me yaya. I was stupid, I should have known that he shouldn't be trusted, if I hadn't gone to that club something like this won't have happened ." she was crying uncontrollably

" what happened after that" mom asked

" The next day I woke up naked alone on bed. "

" did that bastard rape you? " I roared out

" no, he took picture of me naked. I read the note he left for me and the note says he has copies of my naked picture, whenever he needs me he will let me know "

" innalillahi wainnailaihi rajuhun . Kinkashe ni, sadiya(you have killed me, Sadiya) . How can you be so stupid to agree on picking a man at a club, why can't you use your number six"

" mom, please you need to calm down. I know how you feel right now but first we need to find who this bashir guy is to get all her pictures from him and finally put him in jail where he belongs" I calmly said. I was only trying to calm myself but if I get hold of this bashir guy, he better be prepared for what I'm going to do to him.

" what does this bashir matter has to do with Ameera kidnapping ? " dad asked in wonder

" he is working for samira. They saw that as their opportunity to use me since they have something against me" sadiya explained

" why? Why didn't you tell anyone about all this, why? "

" I'm sorry Dad. I was ashamed of myself, I was scared that you'll believe all their lies. I wasn't thinking straight, I want to be the good sadiya you have always known me as. Please forgive me daddy"

" why now? Why did you decide to tell us now? " I yelled

" I couldn't live with my conscience, it keeps eating me up. I never wished for all this to happen ,please forgive me yaya" she begged on her kneels as more tear pool down her face.

" I don't even know what to say to you, Sadiya. I don't know if I can't trust you again after this. You betray my trust for you. I can't believe that you don't trust me enough to tell me all that is happening to you"

" I'm so sorry yaya"

" I think it's best we tell the police about this" hindatu suggested

" They might know how to get this bashir guy" she added

" you're right, let me call them" I immediately call there number. They didn't waste anytime in picking up.

I request to see them because something urgent came up and they said they are on their way.

" what did they say? "

" they're coming "

We all sat down waiting for the officers. They came in few minutes later.

" Good day alhaji Bula"

" Good day officer, I'm sorry for the sudden call"

" it's nothing. That is our job after all. What was it you said you found out? " one of the officers asked

I repeated what Sadiya told us all.

" This is getting complicated " they said thoughtfully.

" I think we should wait for there call, the kidnappers might call. We brought all the machines that can track there calls at least to know where they are at ." said the officer

" but we aren't sure whether they will call" I said

" they will, Mr Amir. I'm sure of that"

I excused myself from the officers to receive a call. My phone had been ring since we came to the house but I silent it.

" hello"

" hello to you too ,Amir" a deep voice said

" who am I speaking with? "

" I wish you're the one I want to speak with but lucky for you, I want to talk to your father "

I was confused, who is this man. I walk back to meet the rest. I gave my dad the phone and told him that someone demand to talk to him.

The police became alerted and told my dad to put the phone on speaker and he did.

hello? "

" longest time my betrayal best friend " the man answered back

" who is this?"

" you pretender, don't pretend like you don't recognize this voice" the man angrily shouted

" I'm sorry but I don't know who you are "

" since you want to keep pretending, let me refresh your memory . You are talking to your childhood friend"

" I'm sorry I still don't know who you are"

" I can see you want it the hard way. Well since I have your daughter in law with me I have lots and lots of time to spare for a story. Grab a seat and enjoy"

Who is this man?

" there live a boy called Hassino........
