My Mother Is In Danger

Meanwhile, K on the other hand was fuming. He was watching a video when a message pop into his phone. He had two different phones with him. The one with which he was watching the video was different from the one he had received a message with. The video he was watching was the same as the one Ify had sent to Lanre. So when he opened the message and saw the message Ify sent to him requesting for him to come pick her up that she needed to talk to him and that it was urgent, he already wished he had her neck in his hands. He would have strangled her. He saw everything Ify sent to Lanre. Even he himself was yet to decide what to do with Lanre for releasing that video. He could not even hurt her for real, keeping her to himself was just something he always wants with Lanre. And here is someone threatening Lanre’s life using her mother’s life to do that.

K sent a text to Ify telling her that he was coming. He got into the site after giving instructions to the site supervisor to make sure nobody lazy around unless the person was genuinely tired, then he could rest. He was at the site when he had received the message from Ify. He had come early. Since he was planning on leaving the country with Lanre, he has decided to hurry the work and finish it on time. He even had the supervisor recruit more workers. He had also employed someone Lanre would be glad he helped the previous day. While he has been running around doing other things, he has not forgotten about the contract awarded him. He had employed Yetunde, Lanre’s neighbour. He only hopes he did not make the wrong decision.

K drove off first to the hotel to check on Lanre just to make sure she has not escaped somehow. He was relieved when he found her there. But became distressed when he saw how she sat in a cowering position and her body constantly vibrating. He could tell she was crying. He wanted to go comfort her but lacked time for that.

“It is good that you have not run away. You should remain here and do not try doing anything funny. I will be back soon enough”. K said to her. He asked her where she kept her phone.

Lanre stood up. She held K’s hand. She told him that she needed to leave. But K asked her to stay and to not try anything stupid.

“Kehinde you don’t understand, my mother is in danger! I need to go”. Lanre said to K. He asked her to stay calm and relaxed that he will take care of the issue and that her mother will be safe. Lanre did not trust K to actually do anything. So she continued to plead with him to let her go.

“I came here to make sure you are alright and to tell you that I can handle this. What do you think you can do about this? I do not want you or our baby to get hurt”. K said taking Lanre by surprise.
