Alhaji Balarabe Residence
The sound of her heels echoed throughout the elegant sitting room. She was dressed in a red fitted gown and a small veil on her head showing her long braided hair. She was the definition of beauty.
Her face frowned staring at the girl who looks to be in her early teens, around the age of fifteen years old. She was sitting at the conner of the sitting room. The girl was so engrossed into watching a movie on the gigantic TV, she didn't notice the presence of Laila.
"Ke!"
The teenage girl quickly turn to the direction of the voice. Her shaking legs stood her up. Tears roll down her innocent face as her tremble lips parted to say a word.
"Am sorry Aunty Laila."
"Who is your Aunty? Me?" Laila strides to were she stood and burst out into malicious laughter which only scared the girl. She hate the place. She hate everything about the house.
"What did I say about not roaming around? Always stay. In. Your. Room!!" Laila slap her face with every word she said.
The girl wailed in agony. She hold her already red face and plead for her poor life.
"Bazan karaba, am so sorry!"
"Get out of this place!"
The girl practically run out of the parlor to the safest place she calls a shelter, the room she has been staying. She really hates the life she's living. For the last five years of her life she haven't seen her parent or any relative. She doesn't know the meaning of keeping her captive in a house that looks more like a mansion.
She has been trying to escape countless times but to no avail. The maids that keep eyes on her was doing a very good job. The rest of the house members are on the other wing of the house. The only person that she use to see was Aunt Laila who for no reason abused her.
She brush her tears away and remembers the one person who will always lingered on her brain. The promise she made to her put her at ease sometimes, she's her only hope to freedom, the only person she has hope of finding her some day and giving her the justice she deserved.
What if she's dead already?
If she was alive, she would have found her and taken her away from this vicious people. The other part of her thinks the lady just abandon her here and move on with her life.
She couldn't do that...
Her subconscious said.

Janan
She knock on the office for tenth time but there was no response. What sparks her curiosity was that Mr Malik told her that the director just came to the office.
Did he die or something?
She was going to knock again when her phone starts vibrating. Her doctors name pop up. She completely forgotten to tell him about her decision. Whatsoever, she picked the call and walk back to her studio.
"Assalamu Alaikum."
"Wa'alaikum Assalam"
"Miss Ghali, what happened? You didn't come to your appointment last week."
Janan pull the door and went inside the studio, she sit on a grey couch still holding the phone.
"I have been really busy this past days, I have a promotion meeting coming up, Doctor Tahir can you reschedule it to next month please." Janan said.
Dr Tahir didn't say a word for some moment before he sighed "Is there something I need to know?"
"There's nothing to worry about, actually am feeling great this days." Janan bite her lips. She doesn't like the idea of lying to him.
"Okay take your time Janan. Whenever you need to talk just come to my office."
He said goodbye and they ended the call.
"Well that went easy." Janan said to the empty space.
She thought about going back to the directors office but went against it. She has been meaning to talk to him about Barrister Ahmad proposal but she couldn't get the chance. Or maybe she should just wait till the day of the promotion.
Janan was going to take her tea flask from the side of her desk when she notice something on the ground.
A golden earring.
She picked it from the floor, her mind search for answers. She has never had this type of earring, she doesn't even wear this types. Someone has really broke into her studio and the person has been very careful because Janan didn't notice any changes and this pass two days not a single soul came to her office, and Munira doesn't wear this kind of earrings.
Her heat raced as she look for something that might been stolen. She search everywhere and everything but nothing was missing.
The person that enter the place was obviously a female. Why would she leave a pair of earring. It reckless.
Or was it intentional?
She has to make a report to the director, if he didn't take any action she will just report to the police. What if this has been happening? But she doesn't have a concrete evidence and nothing has been stolen.
Or was it?
The best thing to do is to insert a CCTV camera. She will just keep quite for the time being.
Her first suspect is Becca but she couldn't jump to the conclusion. She will make sure she caught that b*tch red handed.
