Sorry but I had to take a break for a while I had my exams and they were quiet stressful.

Zarah's POV"I'll rather live knowing that we have no secrets between us than live knowing I let you go but before all that I need you to make peace with yourself and your past." His words to me had taken a toll on my thoughts for the past week, we were back in Abuja and I had resumed work but all I could think of was what he last said to me before disappearing into thin air.
I had searched far and wide but it seemed like he went into hiding, even his sister had no idea where he had retreated too and what was slowing me down was this cold I had had since I got back from the bahama's
'Ma'am there's someone at the front desk that wishes to speak with you' My assistant announced in a rather unsettled manner and she kept turning back to look at the certain guest and I knew just who was out there. Let her in"It's been years Fadila I wasn't expecting you to be alive or to look as ravishing as you do right now" I said looking at her from the wig on her hair to the high stilettos she has on. She wore a beautiful green dress that just matched with her skin color and although the bad blood she deserved the compliment.
"Well, neither did I, but it's a surprise what the Mexicans could do if you pleasure them well. And who are we joking that has always been my strong point. Making men talking dummies with my body I may not have been good in school but on the bed I am a pro" Helping her self to a chair she said showing off her pearl whites.
"I give you credit for that, now I am sure you're not here to talk about your sex life so spare me the goory details of all that and tell me what you came here for" Ushering my assistant to go get us refreshments as we needed the privacy."You have something that I want, let me spare you the trouble of asking what. I want something from Arif, your husband."
"See the thing is, he stepped on some really wrong shoes and although I could have gotten him while you were at the Bahamas I thought why not I pay you a visit, but then he bumped into some of my men and now he's held up but I thought I should come down and ask you in exchange for his life. I don't guarantee he comes back in one piece but at least you don't lose another husband." She said taking before taking a sip from the wine glass that was served to her."And what is it that you want?"
"So he has a particular video file that threatens to expose my messiahs and I thought you might have an idea where it was, you have a week to deliver it and that too you have to bring it to Colombia and then you can have your husband" She concludes finishes up her wine before heading out of my office.
I couldn't be scared now at least not for Arif, I went straight back home and I searched through every last file that he had and every corner of the house but I couldn't find anything of that sort. In the midst of all the commotion I had going on I had to send my son away at least for his protection, my life was falling apart once again and this time I wasn't sure what to do.
I was heading out of the house and then I noticed something glistening on the mirror that covered our ceiling. I climbed on the roof access and I saw a usb flash with no labels and I just knew it was what I was looking for. I quickly switched on my computer system and inserted it switching on its remote access.Let me save you the trauma of knowing the contents of the video and I knew that Arif had gotten him self in something deeper than he could swim through. I made an extra copy of the video and took it to a safe location.
"Place me on the next flight to Columbia and track my location and make sure at my next call which might be from an unknown number that you send help to wherever I might be and send the contents of what I sent to you this morning to interpols database and make sure it's remote and then get out of the country after lighting the building on fire I'll contact you when I feel it's safe enough but for now ask no questions" This was one of those times I knew that family couldn't be involved.
