CHAPTER FOUR

“isa!, this like the third time am calling you, you can’t come to a party and be thinking about

God knows what? “ Jane said sounding annoyed

"I need to go home jane "

"you can't be serious,are you?,the party just started"

"I'm sorry ,I promise to be fine , just have fun darling"  I said assuring her

"Just be safe okay?"

"I will girl , bye"

Too bad I couldn't see dave before leaving, well I would call him later.

I ordered an uber ,which came in less than five minute,the ride was silent , as I tried not to think 

about everything,it was just too much.

As I alighted from the cab and made my way towards the door , I noticed a white envelope with a 

red seal , designed with a butterfly shaped metal . Who would drop a letter for me without an 

address?, " You cannot run forever"

SANTIAGO.

Looking around to find traces of a possible spy or danger , I  quickly entered my room , shutting 

my door tightly . I almost lost my balance, I held the wall , I never saw this coming. The 

vibration of my phone in my purse brought me back to full consciousness.

"Hello, mum"

"They were here they broke the cupboard and burst the kitchen pipes " her voice laced with panick

" It's alright mum , everything Is going to be fine "

"No isa, nothing is ever going to be fine .." her voice trailed off

"Mum , I promise to try my best , just be careful till we get help" I told her sounding weak , I  

couldn't tell her about the threat I received, it would break her the more.

 

TORONTO CANADA

"He had two daughters and a wife " Henry said running down Trevor Gomez profile

"His first daughter is late , leaving the last one , whom is currently in her finals at the University 

 of  Nigeria,she is ..."

"Who and what killed the older daughter " 

"She was raped by Santiago's men, she lost too much blood"

"Zoom in on the other daughter's  picture"

"Is there any other thing I need to know?"

"Not any for now Boss"

With that Ace walked out of the room.

NIGERIA

I was on the sofa in my little apartment, I was alloted the house , it was part of the scholarship I 

was offered, in a place like nigeria with an unstable economy, an average student could barely 

afford a house , I was lucky and a bit talented, after high school, I applied for several 

undergraduate scholarships, but was awarded three , of which I choose chevron's, because it  

was fully funded.

I was typing chapter 3 of my project on my laptop, it was due for submission in two days.

I heard a knock on my door, standing up I went to open the door and found the mail guy outside, "sorry are you Isabella Gomez?"

"Yes, you have a letter for me " I asked looking at his hand 

"Yes , please sign just here " 

"Okay" taking the pen from him , i signed ,thanked him and made my way back to the cushion 

where I was sitting.

As I unfolded the envelope,it had an  international postal code, OANDO CANADA , who would 

send me a letter from canada? ... 

"Santiago is out for you and your mother, he would do anything to have you both pleading for 

you lives at his feet and would be glad to deny it , nonetheless I could help you , save you both, if 

only you move down here to canada, I won't be able to protect you across the sea , I don't expect 

you to consider the offer , considering that you don't know me but , if not for anything think of 

your poor mother and all she's been through since your father died, and yes , don't wonder why I 

sent a letter instead of a simple phone call, I only make calls at emergencies. When you 

consider the offer , do well to call the number at the top of the paper , I could help ease the 

stress of booking a flight from Nigeria down "

Such guts! Who does he think he is? , "Ease the stress of flight booking" is he a politicians son 

or what ? , Or one of this rich brats who think they can get and order everybody around. How did 

he know so much about me? , Who is he? , What does he want in return? And why is he doing 

this?. So many questions were flooding my head , I sat quietly on the cushion.
