Chapter 13 13

"What has gotten into Rasheed all of a sudden?" Zuwairah thought whilst tears flow down her cheeks slowly.

We were both fine few minute ago,so why the sudden change? Did I do something wrong? or was it the call? But he seems calm even after receiving the call.

"No, no it's very clear, it's not about the call but me" she shook her head.

But what was my offence? I thought he had forgiven me? Ya Allah, I know I'm a true sinner but I hope my husband will forgive me, coz I can still see that he haven't.

"Rasheed, please forgive me" she muttered.

•

Rasheed got to the address Zulaiha gave him, he hop down from his car as he glance over everywhere. He hoped he will get a glimpse of her but no. He had been trying her number but it's wasn't going through.

He was really getting frustrated. He entered his car and that was when a call came in for him, without any hesitation, he picked up the call.

"hello?" He said more like a question.

"Good boy, I can see you didn't involve anyone." She smirked. "That's why I love you baby. Now turn to your left, you'll see a white car parked at the other side of the road. Drop your phone in your car and enter that car,a phone is there already,you can call me through the phone, because I don't trust you" she spat.

"But-"

"Drop the phone now Rasheed...and see you soon" she said as she's quickly hang up before he could even protest.

Rasheed took a very deep breath before doing as she says,he drop his phone inside his car and locked it before crossing to the other side of the road.

He hopped into the car and truly to Zulaiha's word,he saw the new phone placed at the passenger sit,just as he was about to pick up the phone,it started ringing. He slide to answer waiting for her to speak. She told him where he would meet her and hang up again before he could speak.

"What have I gotten my self into ya Allah? If I had known, I wouldn't have ask her out,why can't she just be like Zuwairah? Very calm and beautiful both inside and out. He heave down a deep sigh before igniting the engine and started driving to his destination "I need to save Dad" he muttered to him self with full determination.

The drive to the address she gave to Rasheed is a forty minutes drive,he got there and the place almost got him scared of not because he's a guy he would have turn back and leave. It was so quiet,just like a grave yard "how did she come to know a place like this?" He thought.

He walks angrily into the old building scanning it from left to right and before he knows what was happening,he was already sorrounded by huge men in Black suit and pants "did she hire all of this people? That woman is really crazy"

"Ma'am is waiting for you..you can go in" one among the men told him and without even bothering to answer him, he walk in by himself.

"Welcome my love" she said as she quickly went to hug him tightly. Rasheed unclasped her hand from his body before saying "let get straight to the point" he angrily said.

"Yeah that's true,let get to business" she grinned wickedly.

"Where's Dad?"

"How dare you call him your Dad?! He's that snatcher's Dad,not your Dad" she fumed.

Rasheed scoff before answering her "have you forgotten? That, he's my wife's Dad?!" He yells angrily.

"What the nerve of this bitch" he thought.

"She isn't your wife! I am your wife! I am your first love! I am your first girl! You'll marry no one, but me! She will never be your wife Rasheed!" She said almost in tears.

Is she crazy?

"Where's is he? And how...who did you get out from jail?"

She gave him a wickedly smile before replying "don't you know that everything in this life depends on connection? I knows people and they help me out..simple!" She finished saying with a shrug.

"And you my dear will do me a favor.... I need you to drop the charges against me"

"What?! Are you crazy?! Why would I do that? You're going to rot in jail! What are you thinking? Just like that I'm going to accept your offer?" He ask in an annoy tone.

"Well won't you?" She raise her brows in question.

"Don't you think you need to. I mean, in order to save your father in-law and your wife happiness you need to do it?"

"What do you mean?" He ask with puzzle face.

"Follow me" she ordered.

They both entered the room and Rasheed became weak the moment his eyes came in contact with his father in-law.

"Dad!" He uttered as he quickly rush to him.

"Dad are you okay?"

"I'm fine son,what are you doing here?"

"Tsk..tsk...tsk..what a lovely view,well I'm not in for that. And as for you Rasheed, you'll have to drop all the charges against me"

"No way! Are you mad?! What were you thinking?! Zulaiha, I thought you're a reasonable girl! How dare you kidnapped your friend's father just because of a man?!!"

"It is so simple Love, it because I love you, I love you so much with all of my heart"

"And you've turned crazy because of that" he wanted to say but only roll his eyes.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"You! I want you" she simply said.

"I'm married Zulaiha! You need to get that into your stupid head!"

"Proving stubborn I can see..you see this?" She said showing him the file in her hand.

"What's that?" He ask not sounding interested a little bit.

"My house and company's documents" Alhaji Dauda answered with a sadden tone.

"What?!!!"

"Yes Rasheed. like you've heard, this is his life's document"

"How did you get that?"

"Let leave that for another other day...and the latest news is that, all of this is already in my name and-"

"What?!!!"

"Yes love"

"So as we speak right now, I owns everything" she said and Rasheed wide his eyes in shock.

"Why are you doing this Zulaiha! Just why? You know how much the house and company means to Dad,why are you frustrating our lives? How did you get hold of all of this? Do you know how Zuwairah will feel when she comes to know about this? For goodness sake that house is her life!!"

"That's why I'm using that as your weakness,I knew you won't agree to my terms and conditions and that's why I get hold of this thing because of a day like this" she replied like it's nothing serious.

"Okay fine,you said you wanted me to drop the charges against you right? Fine,I will do that..just please sign this papers back in the name of Dad,he work so hard for everything,it can't just go to avail" he begged.

"Aren't you faster than your shadow? I'm not done yet Rasheed. Yes I wanted you to drop all charges against me but that isn't all my love"

"What else do you want?"

"Divorce your wife and marry me instead"

"WHAT?!!" Rasheed glared in shock and anger.

"HOW DARE YOU?!!!"

"What? You can't do it? Fine! Then be ready to see him and his family rot in poverty" she smirk when she saw the look on his face. Exactly! this is what she was expecting,the look! That look! The weak look.

"Son please don't listen to her, Zuwairah loves you so much,she will die if you divorce her. Don't mind this crazy girl,just go to your wife...or call the police so they could arrest her" he tried to reason.

"Try calling the police Mr and your precious daughter will be dead before you know it,just a minute call and BOOM! She'll be dead"

"How dare you?!"

"How dare your daughter too! How dare she snatch my man away from me?!!"

"You must be crazy Zulaiha! To remind you, I have billions of naira,and I have my companies...they can't be poor when I'm here with them" he smirk knowing that there's nothing she can do about it, but what she said next made by him drop his shoulder in defeat.

"Calm down lover boy,you didn't lemme finish"

"Latest news!!..Half of your companies share belongs to me. You're so foolish for not knowing,you signed half of your companies share to me last week"

"What?!"

"Yes my love,so you can't decide anything without my permission" she smirk.

"How did she get to do all of this? My companies? "How come you got my-"

"It's not good to trust people Rasheed"

Who could have done this to me? Who could dare betray me? Knowing fully of who I'm? I swear TJ has a lot of explanations to do..how could my shares be sold to this bitch!! Fuck!

"I'll do anything you want me to but won't divorce my wife,she's my life!" He was hurting inside,he wish he could strangle her to death right this moment but the situation will only worsen.

"As simple as ABC,divorce her and I'll sign this and put everything in order,then we can get married"

"No no! Rasheed don't do it,I can take care of my self,I will take care of everything just don't leave my daughter" Alhaji Dauda tried to convince him but the deed has been done already coz he has made up his mind,he will do whatever she wishes just for the sake of his father in-law and his wife"

"I'm sorry Dad but your happiness and her happiness is much more important to me"

"Fine, I'll do as you say but don't you ever expect anything from me in return, I hate you and will forever will..yes I'm agreeing to this. You'll only be my wife in eyes of the world but to me, you're just a piece of trash" he spat angrily.

"Let the future decide that" she grinned happily. "Finally her dream is coming true" she thought.
