Forty Nine

💙💜Eden💜💙

I stared at my computer blankly as if I couldn't understand what I was seeing. It was an email from one of my agents at Interpol (international police). Slowly, realization hit me. Mr Achimugu had called foreign forces on me with strong evidence. And if I don't do something fast, I'll be behind bars

Also, Daniel had returned Chubi. How stupid of the men who were asked to monitor him.

I groaned and banged my fist on my office desk.

I don't have any strong connections internationally to be able to bail me out. I know I can't get away with this. I need help but first I need to deal with Daniel

💙💜Ugwa💜💙

I watched as Andy ate the food Daniel brought. He was eating like his whole life depended on it. I smiled at him, at least he's looking better than last night. As for me, I'm in pain. My face were I was struck with a chain is so sore that I can't even move my neck. I can't turn my head without getting hurt. My face has also swollen and it's red.

I'm not actually worried about that though, what I'm worried about is that Andy still hasn't spoken a word. He only makes signs for me.

I would have asked him why he's not speaking but I myself can't talk because of pain.

The door opened and Daniel walked in

Daniel : good evening

Me: (in a low voice) hey

Daniel : I contacted your parents about you being with me. I'm actually taking you there right now.

I nodded and looked at Andy who was drinking water. He then dropped the cup and looked back at me

Daniel : can we go now?

I nodded and we stood up. Andy and I held hands as we walked to the car. We sat in and Daniel drove off.

Suddenly I began to have a terrible feeling. My heart began to pump faster. My hands became sweaty and my temperature increased.

As if on cue, Andy placed his hand on my shoulder and looked into my eyes with furrowed eyebrows

Me: I'm fine Andy. I just have a bad feeling

Daniel looked back at us

Daniel : me too... I feel like something terri...

Just then I saw a rough driver swerve into the street, just in front of our car and it was so close

Me : Daniel! Watch out!

He looked at his front but it was too late for him to dodge the car. It collided with us and our car went tumbling over and over. I was screaming because I was so terrified, my blood pressure must have shot up to more than a hundred and fifty.

When the car finally rested on the side, I looked around and saw Daniel with broken glasses stuck up in his face

Me: oh no! Daniel!

I tried to open the door but it wouldn't open. I looked at Andy and he was groaning and bleeding from his forehead terribly. There was also blood on his elbow

I began to shake Daniel but he wouldn't budge

His eyes were closed. He was already unconscious.

Me: Daniel is in danger. We have to get him out now

I kept trying to open the door. I kicked against it but it wouldn't open. I would have tried the other door but it's on the side facing the ground, that's where both Andy and Daniel's seats are.

I quickly entered the front and tried to open the door facing the sky. Luckily it opened and I pushed it. I got out and found a rod on the ground. I picked it and broke the windscreen. Though it was already broken and it was the pieces that had entered into Daniel's body because of the pressure and force from the collision.

Me: Andy please come out let's help Daniel. Please.

He began to try and come out while I began to unbuckle Daniel's seatbelt.

Andy successfully got out but his elbow was badly wounded. There was no way he could help me pull huge Daniel out

I began to panic because I knew Daniel was loosing too much blood. His blood kept streaming down his injuries on his face, neck and arms.

I walked to the road and looked if there was a car coming that could help, it was then I realized that the car that collided with us was nowhere to be found.

I became perplexed. But there was no time to think about the car, it was Daniel that was important.

I went back to the car and began to pull Daniel out. Andy entered the car again and began to help me pull him out with his left hand which was okay.

With a little time, Daniel was already on the floor. I was relieved. My own hands began to bleed because I had injured them when I was drawing him out and the broken glass had drawn bloody lines on them but who cares.

I quickly searched his pockets and brought out his phone to call the ambulance

💙💜Anibe💜💙

I sat caressing my mom's hand. She was awake and we had told her that Chubi was back. We also told her that it was Daniel who rescued him.

She was so happy and demanded to see him immediately, but he was asleep then.

Things have been taking another turn. Lots of evidence has been gathered against Eden Alberto. Daniel sent me a video confessing that his dad was responsible for the abduction of my siblings and Andy. He also said that his dad was responsible for the murder of his mother and we have gone to do intensive research. We found that true because the policeman he used was caught. I also have that record of when I was followed and Rogue helped me out.

We've sent all the evidence we have to A.R.G.U.S and they're presently looking for him.

All I'm expecting now is that Daniel brings Unugwa back successfully. We didn't want any police to follow him because they can't be trusted.

Suddenly dad rushed in with a worried face.

Me: dad what's wrong?

He exhaled

Dad: nothing... Hi honey

He went to peck mom

Mom: are you sure nothing's wrong? The way you rushed in...

Dad: I saw Andy's text that you had woken up so I had to rush here. I've missed you so much dear

He kissed her lips and I coughed

Dad: what? Is this wrong?

Me: you old folks shouldn't be doing this man!

Mom chuckled and began to kiss dad again

Mr: ugh! I better leave before I puke

Mom : hahaha, please check on Chubiyo for me. If he's awake already, notify me. I need to see my baby

Me: sure thing momma

I opened the door and left. I went to Chubi's room and he was still sleeping soundly.

He was now under medications. He had been with the doctor this morning and he was given sedatives to help him sleep. He needed to regain his lost energy.

As I walked down the stairs to go to the living room, I realized dad was hiding something. I sent him that text in the morning when mom woke up but he didn't rush up and come then. If he really wanted to see mom, he would have come that morning. But it's almost dinner time and he's rushing to see mom who's been awake for hours.

Something else caused dad to rush like that. Because the dad I know, doesn't rush except there's an emergency

I went back up the stairs and knocked on my mom's door.

My dad opened the door and came out then closed it

Me: dad, I need to ask you something

He began to walk in a hurry and I followed him.

Dad: you want to ask me why I rushed in like that because you know I lied?

Me: exactly

He stopped walking and faced me.

Dad: a hospital called me. Daniel, Unugwa and Andy had a fatal accident on their way coming

Me: what! How? What happened? Are they okay?

Dad: they're alive

Me: which means they're not in a good condition

Dad: exactly. I was looking for you and I was told you were in your mom's room so I rushed in to tell you, I forgot your mom was already awake. I don't want her to hear about this yet until we are sure they're okay

Me: can we please go to the hospital now?

Dad: sure, we're going there now

We hurried downstairs and outside the house, got into dad's car and drove off.

💙💜Ugwa💜💙

I opened my eyes and found out we were already in the hospital. I didn't know when the ambulance came, I remember calling them and I also remember that I started feeling dizzy. My eyes began to close and I must have gone unconscious.

I tried to sit up but I felt a deep pain in my lower abdomen. I laid back and looked at my hands that were bandaged. I didn't know I also had a head injury. My head has a plaster about it. And I can feel very little pain from across my face where I was struck with the chain.

Me: thank you Jesus I'm alive

I exhaled and closed my eyes

I opened my eyes when my door opened, my dad and Anibe entered with a doctor

Me: daddy!

Dad: my baby!

He ran to hug me tight. I felt so emotional

Dad: thank God nothing happened to you. Thank God you're alive. What would we have done if...

Me: dad, I'm fine. God protected me.

He smiled and pecked my forehead

Anibe: sup princess!

He smiled brightly at me and I smiled back

Me: Anibe, I've missed you

Anibe: I missed you more baby girl.

Me: how is mom?

Anibe: she's fine. She's OK now

The doctor was busy writing on a paperboard. He then looked at me

Doctor: how are you feeling now?

Me: I'm fine. Just the pain from my waist and tummy

Doctor: you ripped a muscle in your lower abdomen and your pelvic bone had a minor dislocation. But the necessary things have been done, all that's left is for you to heal

Anibe: is it the accident that caused this large bruise across your face?

Me: oh no. It's... well... I got struck by a chain by some ugly looking thug. He wanted to rape me but Daniel immediately came in and ordered him out.

Dad heaved a deep sigh

Doctor: sorry about that. We also treated it and it would heal soon

Me: thanks doctor. But what about my friends?

Doctor: you mean Andrew Del Solo and Daniel Alberto?

Me: yes

Doctor: Andrew didn't sustain any major injury except his elbow. The rest were bruises. Though his leg which was once fractured had a minor dislocation again. He isn't the one in a critical condition.

Me: Daniel? What's wrong with Daniel?

Doctor: he lost too much blood. His blood percentage was 15% before we started a transfusion on him. Also, his internal bleeding is much. He got stabbed by a sharp metal in his stomach and his brain has been damaged as a result of the collision.

Me: oh my God. Is he going to make it? Please he has to

Doctor: he'll be fine.

I exhaled sadly. I hope nothing bad happens to him.

Me: please doctor, let me see him now

Anibe: you want to go and see him? Now?

Me: yes. I really want to see him

Dad: in your condition?

Me: please daddy

Doctor: okay, I'll ask a nurse to get a wheelchair for you because you can't really move freely yet. You are supposed to be resting

Me: thank you doctor. Thank you

He nodded and left

Me: before the crash, I had a very bad feeling. It was a terrible feeling and it affected my body. Daniel said he had a terrible feeling too. It was at that very point that the car collided with us

Anibe: did the occupants of the car have serious injuries?

Me: that's the point, the car was nowhere to be found. I didn't see it anymore

Anibe looked at dad

Dad: hmm, what type of car was it?

Me: it was a black car with tinted windows. I think it had a Benz brand.

Anibe: could it be that the car came to cause the accident solely?

Dad: yes. If the car could drive off then it wasn't damaged and if it wasn't damaged then it purposely hit you guys and ran off

Anibe: Eden Alberto again?

Dad: who else? His cup is already full though. He'll be found. He can't leave the country because all the boundaries have been alerted and he's been declared wanted.

The door opened and a nurse came rolling a wheelchair in.

Nurse: hi I'm Nurse Sara

Me: hi

Nurse: please help me sit her on the wheelchair

Anibe: okay

She removed my drip and Anibe helped me onto the wheelchair. She then wheeled me to the ward where Daniel was. Anibe who followed me immediately held back the wheelchair

Me: what?

He didn't say anything. It seems the nurse too saw what he saw. They were looking through the French window of his room. I couldn't see it because I was sitting.

That doctor came out shaking his head.

He looked at us

Doctor: I'm so sorry.... We lost Daniel
