Biola was taken aback by his mature way of speaking but she didn’t let it distract her from threatening to call his mother to tell her where he was “call her… she would be happy to hear from you” his confidence was a new outfit she had never seen him wear before “I had a long day Salim, I don’t need this right now” she turned to walk away but he pulled her towards him and kissed her with the desire of a man. She felt his racing heart against her chest and it made hers beat faster.

Anyway, here I was in my room resisting myself from calling Abdul to find out if he actually went through with the wedding. I checked on all social media platforms to see if anyone posted about Abdul and Kate getting married but I didn’t see anything.

Biola sat in utter silence wondering what would happen if she went back to the convent. Will God accept her after everything she had done? Will he save her from the treacherous hands of Umar?

There was a moment of silence “why do you like playing with my emotions, why are you so fucking mean?” I was still very upset and all my effort to speak to him calmly was unsuccessful. “I swear to God, I am not here to play with your emotions” he begged “leave God out of this, he is not the one who told me that he loves me and went off to marry someone else” “Asari please”

When she told Biola that the man told her not to bother about any expense, Biola advised her to still be prepared “anything can happen, you always have to have your own money in case” Biola warned then she asked her to transfer all her money to Grande bank so that if anything went wrong she could easily help her since she worked there and could have access to her account. Diana thought it a good idea and did as Biola said.

He needed something desperately, something he could use to get her to close the case forever and killing her was not an option… except he made it look like an accident; a car crash perhaps. Abel had gone into his murdering thoughts once again forgetting the promise he made to himself not to murder any more people.

I wondered what he came to tell her that he couldn’t discuss with her on the phone but I ignored it allowing my imagination to convince me that he was there to see me but had to come up with a reason to come to my office but I was totally wrong. Because he came there to invite my boss for his wedding curtesy of his father who is one of our most important customers in that bank.

The night was still young, the drinks were flowing and the music was very soothing to the conversation between Seyi, Biola, Diana and Joyce a friend of Diana. It was Diana’s birthday and she was very sad that her boyfriend dumped her via twitter so Biola called Seyi to take them out to a nice but secretive restaurant where Umar would not be able to track or find her.
