Amanda had just finished telling Frederick everything that transpired in the past months. They were sitting in the living room.
"That Anita must have used juju on me, I'm sure of it,"he said,". If not for your prayers, I wonder what my life would've turned into"
Amanda smiled." Yes,thank God," she looked around,"but, Frederick,where is she? And our baby?"
He frowned." I sent her away"
"With the baby?"
"Yes"
"Why with the baby? Anita is dangerous,she might harm that innocent child in anger or stupid revenge!"
He sighed,"I wasn't thinking straight at that moment, I was really confused"
Amanda stood to her feet. "We have to find her and get the baby from her!"
"Do we? And how will we find her? Do you know where she might be at the moment?" He asked.
"No,but we'll look for her and find her, come on, let's go!"
******************************
They left their son with one of the house maids and set out to look for Anita. First,they went to her parents house,but she wasn't there.
Then,they went to her sister, Giuliana's place.She was surprised to see them at her house.
"Amanda, Frederick. I hope all is well....you look tensed"
"Please, where is Anita? Is she in here?" Amanda asked
" No. But,she was here some hours ago. She refused to tell me why she was so angry, and after a few minutes,she left" Giuliana said.
Amanda and Frederick exchanged a look.
"Where did she go?" Frederick asked.
Giuliana shrugged." I don't know,she didn't tell me"
"Did she go with the baby?" Amanda asked.
Guiliana looked puzzled," she didn't come here with her baby,she was alone"
Amanda was shocked." What do you mean she didn't come here with her baby?"
" I mean she didn't come here with her baby" she insisted.
Amanda turned to Frederick, almost in tears." Oh my God,what has Anita done to our baby?"
He said a hurried thank you to Guiliana before taking hold of Amanda and leading her back to their car.
Guiliana watched their car drive off ,and couldn't comprehend the scenario that had just played out.
Rushing back into her flat,she picked up her phone and dialed her sister's number.
It rang and rang,but there was no answer. She called again,and this time, Anita picked.
"What is it?" Came her angry voice.
"What's happening?" Guiliana queried.
"Happening where?" Anita asked, clearly irritated.
"Your friend and her former husband just left this place. Or are they back together? Is that why you were angry?"
"She's not my friend!" She yelled.
"Okay,calm down. So, what's going on?"
"Did you tell them anything?"
"Anything like what? It's not like you've explained anything properly for the past months"
"I believe that's a no. I have some important matters to take care of urgently. I'll talk to you later"
"Anita—"
"Bye"
"Be careful" Guiliana said,but she'd already hung up.
Sighing,she dropped her phone
" God please, don't let her do something stupid"
