>* No matter the situation you are in, God is still good and will always be. *****Six hours later.Dave was in his office having an indoor meeting with some of his clients when his secretary came knocking at the door. On a normal day, he wouldn't have condoned his meeting being interrupted but since it was his secretary who happened to be more like a younger sister to him..He was patient as he believed the latter wouldn't interrupt his work for no apparent reason , moreover the meeting had almost ended... All that remained was the reviewing of contracts. " Come in. " He gave his permission and soon a young lady walked in.One thing Dave noticed the second she entered was how hysterical she looked which was totally unlike her usual self." Sorry for ... Interrupting your meeting, sir. But I have got a very important message for you. " Dave raised an eyebrow seeing her stutter.What's going on? He thought inwardly. " Sirs... Can we continue this meeting tomorrow? " He tur
>* Don't lose hope, it's gonna be alright. Though it might not seem like it right now but it'll be eventually. *****Dave stared blankly at the wall in front of him... He couldn't understand what he was feeling.For the first time in his entire lifetime, he felt emotionless.He didn't know how exactly he was feeling... Like seriously!How was he to react when he realized that his only daughter had been kidnapped? How? His daughter whom he loved and adored so much that he wouldn't even let a needle prick her finger had now been kidnapped?How was he supposed to break this news to his wife who considered Mia her world?How? Mia brought light and joy into their marriage and in a way made their bond stronger.But what now? What now? " Bro... It'll be fine. The security system is already at work. The girls would be found soonest. "Ah! He sighed deeply.If that was really the case then he wouldn't have to worry so much.How would the girl's be rescued by the military men when
>* Instead of asking, " Why is this happening to me? Rather ask, " What is this teaching me? " *****----- Mia -----It felt like I had been sleeping for lifetimes as I felt very light headed as I opened my eyes...Slowly, yet steadily.Unlike the environment and atmosphere I would have loved to wake up to.The sight that greeted me was really astonishing. Feeling the cold Sandy floor where my body laid... Something in me shook and I sat up abruptly.And then, it felt like my worst nightmare had finally come true as I realized that I was in a very old mud house-like place.I also wasn't alone... I looked around the pile of bodies that lay in the house and realized that we were like a hundred.Though the mud house looked very small... It was rather large and spacious. My eyes scanned through them all and finally settled on one, my best friend Clover and then another, Sasha. While I was still trying to put pieces together to come up with a reasonable answer from all of
>* Never stop praising God! *****The girl's woke up later to the chirping of birds.It was finally morning." Oh no... Where are we? " One of the girl's whom Mia recognized as Lily screamed out loud realizing their change of environment.Her words prompted the others to become more aware of their environment." Mia... What happened? " Clover inquired though she could already guess where.But as expected she was in denial. " We've been kidnapped. Angelina replied to her instead." What! How is that even possible? " Sasha exclaimed. " Well... That's the case or how can you explain the situation we are in? " Angelina answered." But... "" We were kidnapped from church... They invaded our school.. " she added." Oh no... I wished I had just skipped school earlier. " Sasha muttered." Oh no... " Some of the girls burst into tears as the realization of the whole matter dawned on them. They've been kidnapped... What would become of them now?Would they truly not be able to se
>* ... And you shall call upon the name of the Lord on a day of trouble and he shall answer and deliver you out of your troubles. *****In a mini hut some distance away from the girl's.A scar faced man sat down in front of the window as he smoked, whilst subconsciously keeping track of time. And just before his patience ran out. A knock was finally heard at the door. " Come in. " He said to the one at the door and soon the door opened to reveal one of the men from earlier." Boss Tiger. " " How many are the girls? " The man inquired without turning to face him." A hundred and twenty... " " A hundred and twenty? " He muttered as his lips curled up in a small smile. " Yes, Boss. " " How many girls do the Hawkers need? " " Twenty... "" Great. So we'll have a Hundred of them left after right? " " Yes, Boss. "" Good. Call the other gangs and separate Twenty most beautiful ones from them after serving them lunch. " " Alright, Boss. " " And... Out of the remaining Hund
>* Don't lose hope, God is still in control. *****---- Author's POV ----Waiting for the food to arrive felt like a lifetime as the girl's all sat up, eagerly.Some of them were already rolling in pain as their stomach acted up due to lack of food. Others shifted in discomfort as their stomach made groaning sounds. Even Mia had trouble being still at the intense stomach ache she was experiencing. Right from the time she was diagnosed with peptic ulcer... She had never had her meals a minute late.And now?She hadn't had anything for almost twenty four hours and of course... Her stomach was begging for food. " You'll be fine, Mia.... " Clover and Angel comforted her, sensing her discomfort." I am sure, I'll... Thanks. " She managed to force a smile." Um... Mia... " Sasha called out all of a sudden and the trio all turned to face her. " I have got some chips and bread in my bag... You can have it if you want. "To say the girl's were surprised by her words would be an und
>* Keep on believing! It'll be alright! ****** Happy 30 chapters, guys! *---- Author's POV ---" The food was not that bad though. " A girl named Katherine commented when they had finished eating." I guess... "" I can't help but wonder what will happen to us. " Liliana reasoned frightfully." Do you usually follow up with the news of the fates of the previous girls that were kidnapped. "" No... I don't. "" What about you, Nona? " She turned to another girl who had chubby cheeks." I do... And I won't pray for their fate to be the same as ours. "" But guys, I heard that some of the girl's that were kidnapped were released on ransom. " " And others weren't, right? "" Yeah... So what happened to the others? "" Killed... Sold off... I guess. "" Um... I just wish I had just skipped school the other day. "" Same here's... At Least I won't be in this miserable condition. " " Guys... There's no use wishing. It's as useless as crying over spilled milk. The fact is that we'v
>* Instead of asking, " Why is this happening to me? " Ask yourself, " What's this teaching me? *****The long wait was finally over, when the old wooden door was pushed open from outside.And three men walked in.They were the same men as before... Just that this time, they didn't come with food as the girls had expected but rather, Fruits.It was a red fruit similar to an apple... Though the men told them that it was an apple.Some of them doubted it was really it, as it looked a bit smaller and redder than normal apples. In the end the girl's were given two apples each.The men left the girls immediately after the distribution was over. " Do you think the apples were all washed? " A girl asked." You've concluded that they are apples already? How sure can you be? "" Well... They look like apples so they must be apples, yes? "" Um... "" They are wild apples. " Angelina replied." Oh... "" But how come you know so much, Angel? Were you born here? " A girl questioned sha
