Destined Hearts

CHAPTER 55: The call

I'm so sorry for the late update. 🙏🙏

AMIR

I pace round the office " how can you say that you have nothing. I didn't pay you just to say that you got nothing. My wife is being held captive" I was filled with rage.

" you need to calm down Amir. Anger wouldn't solve anything "

" don't tell what to do, Khalifa . How do you expect me to calm down when my wife might be in danger right now. It two fucking weeks already. Two weeks since Ameera is kidnapped and you want me to calm down? "

Khalifa immediately flew back to Nigeria at the news of my wife's disappearance. He really is a good friend.

" I understand your concern but please Amir for the sake of Ameera let's do this calmly"

"fine"

I turn to the officers " officers, you need to look deeper. Have you checked all the CCTV along the road? There should at least be a clue ,after all my father's driver has already given you the car's number"

" I know sir, we've check all the CCTV and didn't find anything. They might have gone into another car at a point for safety. Please sir, we know what you're going through and we promise to bring a good news when next we come. Have a nice day" the officer left

" arhhhhhh, I swear I will kill that person who think he has the gut to kidnap my wife. I swear it Khalifa " he looked at me in pity

" please calm down. Let pray the kidnappers call soon"

" I pray they do" we went out of the office( I have a office at home) and join the rest at the sitting room.

My parents were sat at the love seat, Ameera's parents were each sitting on a single chair ,her mother was crying while her father was consoling her. , my brother nasir was also here, hindatu and her husband were sitting on the three sitter. I noticed how hindatu has been giving this hate look, I wonder what I did to her. Sadiya sat far from them with eyes full of tears. When each and everyone saw Khalifa and I, they both were expecting to ear a good news

" What did the officers say?" Ameera's dad asked disturbed

" I'm sorry. They couldn't find anything "

His wife cried out beside him " find my daughter for me. She has never done anything wrong to anybody. Please Amir find my baby"

" I'll mama, I promise to look for her whatever the circumstances. "

" Thank you my son" said Ameera's dad

I look at my parents and saw that my mom was also crying on my father's shoulder, she love Ameera like her own daughter . That got me thinking, did I judge Ameera wrongly? Was she innocent after all? Non of them know of my divorce with Ameera. The day she was supposed to pack turn out the day she was kidnapped. Fate

I was brought out of my thoughts by the ring of my phone.

Unknown number

I swipe to answer

" Hello? "

" No need for pleasantries. We have your wife"

" WHERE THE HELL IS MY WIFE, WHEN I LAY MY HANDS ON YOU JUST KNOW THAT YOU'RE DEAD" I BELLOWED OUT.

My parents and Ameera's parents rose up immediately , eager to know who called .

" That is if you don't die first " the man answered back with a sadistic laugh

" where is my wife? Where is she? "

"soon you'll know but first there is someone you need to talk to" and with that the line became silent for a while
