Dwayne's POV Meanwhile .... "Is she here!!" I asked the guy I called earlier immediately I got into the airport. We've gone to about three airports today but she wasn't in any one of them , but thankfully the contact Neil gave us was able to contact his other colleagues in other airports to relay the message. I hope and prayed she's here because I've had too many stress for today. "She's in the waiting room, we delayed her there !" He replied. "Thank you so much" I whispered and we quickly dashed there. Immediately we got into the room , we looked around and there she was with a shawl over her head and a sun glasses on, she kept on looking anxiously around like she could not wait to get the hell out of that place. The cops with me quickly walked out to her , he tapped her and immediately she turned to face him he pointed a gun at her, and everyone there with her broke out into light gasps . "You're under arrest, anything you say or do now will be used against you in the court

Mabel's POVWednesday 12 April 2017Morning 7:30 am ..."Layla don't sleep on me" I whined, tears falling from my eyes as I sat by Layla's bed.I stared down at her face , her once so always smiling face looked so pale , white and lifeless.Her lips were so pink and breaking, it broke my heart to see her like this.The doctor said she was just in an unconscious state but she looked like she no longer had life in her.I can't even see a rise and fall in her chest. Tears dropped from my eyes and I wiped it immediately sniffing.Layla has always been there for me , right from the orphanage until now .

He repeated with a smug smile."It's definitely a no deal" I hissed , picked up my bag and stood up ."And I'll advise you stop this foolishness""Well , if you say so," he replied quietly."You have my number though Incase you change your mind""I actually regret coming over to meet with you" I hissed and walked away immediately.Things are really going on in this city, so people now marry each other to take loans?! .I boarded a cab and headed for the hospital.I really have nothing to do at
