A WOMAN OF STEEL

chapter 4

(Two weeks ago)
"Do you think that I would let you go out without the right accessories?"

"Oyin I have to go now."she said while heading for the door.

"Slow your ropes"
Dragging her by the hand, I took her to my room

"Sit"

Rolling her eyes before sitting on my bed.

" now where is my baby?"i rhetorically questioned myself. Sighting my favorite bag and shoes . I bent down and took off the shoes she was wearing.

"Ah...why does it matter which shoe I wear?" She asked.

Smiling "because they take you to places. Beautiful shoes takes you to beautiful places"

Shaking her head at me and smiling. She stood up. "I'm leaving"

"You forgot the bag" reminding her.
She turned and picked it.

"Thanks sis"

"Oh my....I caused this" I said hitting the table enough to scare a rat who was running away from God knows what.

" that scared me" Suzy jumped a little at the noise.

"I was surprised why of all things he took your diary. He kept on asking where I got it from"

The things in that diary can cost her life. Unconsciously, I hugged her for being alive.

"He-e-ey... O-oyi-in!" Noticing the hug was too tight. I left her. She was breathing hard.

"Sorry" I apologized
Before she continued, she drank more water. I couldn't wait for her to finish drinking when the question just came out of my mouth.
"Is the diary still with you?"
She looked at me like I have grown two heads
" of course. I know how important that book is to you"
I sighed loudly out of relief.

"So tell me what do you think he saw?" I asked her, getting anxious.

"The only thing he said before he hit me to unconsciousness was ' I won't let you go without a fight'. He was married, I saw his ring. You have to find out who he is before anything bad happens Oyinda." She was already in tears.

"Shhhh... it's okay. Everything will be okay" putting her head on my shoulders and saying soothing words to her
