Chapter 9

  VICTIM

  "Princess, what's the matter? Why are you crying?", Mr. Ade asked but there was no response.

  Fear jumped into his heart and he quickly dialed his wife's number. Her number was not going through and he hurriedly locked his office door and made for his car. His heart was racing and different thoughts were running through his mind.

  He ran out of the office and passed by his secretary without a glance. When he got to his car, he entered and zoomed off at the highest speed, still trying to reach his wife on the phone.

  At the fifth dial, her phone started ringing and she picked at the first ring.

  "Ademi", she said.

  "Ibukun, where are you?", he asked her.

  "What's the problem? I'm in the office", she answered.

  "Go home now, your daughter is in danger. I want you to get there before me since your office is closer than mine. I am on my way too."

  "What happened?", she asked with agitation.
