IN TWENTY ONE DAYS

48; ASSASSINATED.

ABUJA, NIGERIA.

The night before Fahad died...

"Will you keep quite as though you've never seen anything in that car or are you going to rat us out?" Zara asked him from the video call she did with her mother's ex husband who is helping her do her dirty work.

She had initially thought there were no loops in the plan she's made and her death will be in the past by now. But the man called her to tell her that he has been holding Fahad captive for the last four months but since he left the state to do some work, he totally forgot about him and as soon as he came back, he called her to tell her everything. During that well formulated accident where they killed two people without remorse, Fahad had seen the people in the car and was the only one who saw them clearly and was sure it wasn't Zara and Mika'il.

He confessed it in the background that he saw the people inside but since the man, her mother's ex husband, Thaur's men were scattered all over for someone like him, someone who witnessed everything, they were quick to take him away with them. Thaur's men abducted him and waited for their boss' arrival as he went on a greater mission in Lagos. And now that he is back, he will finish him off without second thought because he does not give second chances. He called Zara first though, she needs to know too.

"I can't keep this away from the woman I'm going to marry, it's impossible." His words were stud, he won't budge and they should do what they want. He's been there for long to know that he won't leave there alive, he won't lie to escape from them as they are dangerous. They can harm his wife or his family to make sure he stays quite, he knows people like them.

What he didn't understand is why Zara had to take such drastic step to make people's life miserable. Don't women normally go to wizards and witches to tame their husbands under their grip? Why does she have to take extreme measure like that for no reason? Just to make two people in love suffer for the rest of their lives and she will live a fake life? She will never be happy, he is darn sure about it and he will continue to haunt her for the rest of his lifetime for this.

"Hehe, don't be too naïve, Fahad. You can go around and marry any woman you want but you want to die because of a woman? Seriously?" She mocked, her well manicured hands playing with a strand of her wig. The man is so stupid and lives in the world he should not live in, too innocent.

"Why are you begging him to live, Zara?" Thaur asked getting tired of the back to back conversation that won't help anyone. He is going to finish him either way, there should be no loops for a bad future, he makes his work clean all the time. Even if the victims beg for their lives, he don't let them be, this one is not even begging for his and he shall grant him his wishes.

"Well, he would've been my brother in-law but since he clearly wants to die, kill him." She hung up the phone like she didn't just give the ticket to end someone's life. She went back to filing up her nails, she was tired of talking about the past.

"Hey, boy, end his miserable life and throw him away." Thaur gestured to one of his men and the man was quick to remove his revolver from around his waist and shoot the man dead without any hesitation for he's done that countless of times.

Three men took his body that night and threw him near a big public dustbin where he will be seen. They don't care whether they were found or not, no one will know he was even shot dead because the revolver's bullet don't leave any scar of way to show that it was a gun. No normal person will understand that and even if the police sees it, they know it it from someone powerful so they will quickly close the case instantly. When there is money, it brings power along with it so they don't have to worry about their safety.

That is how his family found out he was dead and is still wearing the clothes he wore before he left the house months ago. They conclude that he was kidnapped and when they couldn't get ahold of them, they killed him. At least, he was buried with all his body parts unlike 'Zara and Mika'il' for they were only given their arms. That is the only thing the Masari's were grateful for, they can't bury another body part and be in peace.
