chapter 5 (MISSING NIYOLA)

five months passed after the death of Tasha and her husband. everybody seems to move on but Lola is the shadow of herself because she knew jasper was the killer, she had never thought her husband could have the heart to wipe out a whole family.

she remembered how the Late Tasha wanted to celebrate her birthday at the Adams villa as she usually does, but she insisted that she should come over to hers to mark it with her daughter, Daniella her birthday mate.

Tasha was the only family she had, she was her mother, her sister, a friend, her life saver she was indeed a very rare human, she deserves only the best thing life could offer not an untimely death. 

now that she realized that her husband is the murderer. he could do more evil or even kill her just to get his hands his hands on the multi million dollars investment Tasha left behind

"jasper. I will make you pay! Lola said with a devilish grin on her face.

even though Rita had included Franca in her Will but it's not yet effective has Rita was still alive but bedridden. Lola had employed Franca to remain as Niyola's personal nanny and had moved in with the Brooke.

Benjamin's family had run out of money and always giving Lola and Barr Umar hard time to release Niyola and they even went to court over the child custody but Lola won the case and was granted Niyola's full custody. though she won in the court of law Lola knew better that she's walking on eggshells and she had kept quiet about it because of her reputation.

it was weekend, Lola had took the kids to the amusement park for fresh air. they have been there having fun for over one hour when a loud gun shot was heard. and the whole amusement park was in pandemonium.

Lola held her kids and Franca carried Niyola and started running towards the car park, on getting to the car. the four tyres has been deflated. what the hell is going on!  Lola yelled.

amidst the pandemonium, another family who were on picnic offered Lola and kids a lift, she look back and couldn't find Franca and Niyola. the sporadic gunshots could still be heard, so to protect her children she went with the couple. she wind down the window and kept shouting Niyola's name . Niyola!!!! Franca!!!. as the car drove away.

*****

gun men were still running after Franca but she held Niyola tight and asked to twist her legs around her waist, they kept running for about half an hour when they got to a junction. she stopped a bike and hopped on the bike clutching Niyola's head to her chest with her one hand. about one hour later the gunmen had lost track of the bike. she came down and paid the bike driver.

But Franca knew the gunmen were after Niyola's life. she wasn't stupid to start going back home .she found an old abandoned building. 

"Nini.. we are sleeping here tonight, if God gives us grace to see tomorrow we will go home.ok?"

"Aunty Franca call mummy Lola to come and pick us am hungry I want to go home". Niyola said scratching her eyes

"Nini.. aunty Franca here can't take you home tonight but let me pluck some fruit for you on that tree outside. hmm?" she squatted to carry her on piggy back.. let's get us some fruit to eat first. 

"Get up aunty Franca your leg Is injured I will walk by myself".  Niyola retorted

"what! what do you mean you lose track on the girl? are you kidding me?!. we had all this planned out. how could something go wrong?"

Brooke's mansion.

Lola was pacing back and forth in her living room "calm down honey, don't kill your self over Niyola. I am sure Franca will bring her back safely". 

"Jasper I can't calm down when Niyola is out there I don't know if she survived or not. I rather die than to lose that girl under my watch!. Lola pushed her husband's hand away because she knew jasper is a snake.

I have failed! tashaster I have failed you!. She picked up her phone to call Rita but her husband stopped her. " Calling Rita is like hastening her death, just lets be positive that Niyola will be save .

the next day******

A black car parked at the entrance of the Brooke's mansion. Jones Adam stepped out of the car with endless burning rage. the security tried to stop him but he kept ranting at top of his voice. since taking Lola out wasn't easy as he had thought, he wanted to kill her and win child custody over Niyola, and make sure he takes everything her parents had left for her.

Mr Jones, how may I help you? Lola asked stepping down from the porch

" help me?".. wow Mrs Lola Brooke you're such a good actress!. we the Adams family politely ask for custody over Benjamin's only child but you refused! I knew pretty well that you have an ulterior motive to steal from that little girl! and here you go.. framing that she got kidnapped at the park. why don't you say one of yours got kidnapped instead of Niyola. you know what? you're a thief! read my lips you are a notorious thief!. Jones kept barking

" Mr Jones, I am very sorry for what happened yesterday. but be rest assured that we are doing our best to bring her home".
