Chasing Her Dreams

Chapter 18

*Kidnap

*Afeez

I was back at my parents house. I dropped mheerat there knowing she'd be in good hands. My mum was there to keep her company. She has missed her so much already. I went over to Tj's house to have a talk with him.

Tj I need you to please tell me the truth. Do you know anyone who goes by the name scorpion? He looked like he'd seen a ghost.

Wait bro how do you know scorpion.

I don't know him. He sent his guy to threaten mheerat to stay away from me if not he'd kill me. I've heard you mention the name scorpion before. What kind of connection do you have with him.

Scorpion was among the bad company I kept back then. He was also amongst those who wanted me dead. He's the main reason why I joined the Mafia. I sent him to jail but it seems he's out to get revenge.

But why would he go through me and mheerat. We have nothing to do with him.

I guess he found out about you. Probably when you came over the other time for dinner. I told you before, I hid you so he wouldn't find you and use you as a threat but it seems it's too late now. He's willing to go through you just to get to me. He's going after my most prized possession. My family.

Tj we have to stop this guy. We sent his guys to jail am sure by now he has already figured out we did it and he'll come for us. We have to stop him before he gets to us.

Where is mheerat Tj asked. I left with with mum at home. I've also doubled the security around the house. We have to report this to the police. They'll know what to do.

My dad, Tj and I headed to the station to inform the inspector about our findings. This scorpion guy has a record for several murder cases and lots of dirty works. We still don't know how he got out of jail but he's out seeking one thing. To take out Tj and he's willing to do anything to have him. Even if it means hurting my girlfriend and I.

*Mheerat

Mrs Owolabi and I were in the kitchen baking cupcakes. I've missed her so much. We were taking the cupcakes out of the oven when we heard loud noises coming from outside. Auzubillah what was that noise Mrs Owolabi asked. Mum just stay here I'll go check what's going on.

I walked up to the front of the house. All the guards were dead. Oh no what happened. Who could have done this. Wait scorp.... Before I could finish my own words, a strong hands held me placing a piece of cloth over my nose. I was consumed with the smell. The last thing I saw was Mrs Owolabi running up to me crying before I went unconscious.

I woke up with a sharp pain around my wrist. My hands and legs we're tied to the chair I was sitting on. The room was lit so dimly it was hard for me to see where I was. My head hurts. I wanted to scream when my own sounds were muffled by a piece of cloth around my mouth. I was gagged. My heart started racing. I remember hearing loud noises then I walked out to see what was wrong. All the guards laid on the floor dead. Then someone put a cloth over my nose. I remember seeing Mrs Owolabi running up to be before I feel asleep.

There could only be one person who'd do that. Scorpion. He was at the house. He kidnapped me and brought me here. No one knows where I am. Even i myself don't know where i am. I started to panic. What is he going to do to me. Is he going to kill me.

The door opened blinding my eyes from the bright light. A man walked up to me laughing maniacally. His laugh alone sent shivers down my spine.

So you're the bitch who got my boys locked up in jail huh! I thought I warned you to stay away from that Owolabi guy but you refused. Now you'll have to pay the price.
