Must Read: Love and Revenge - Season 2 - Episode 34

Ann looked at her phone one more time thinking if it was the right time to let Lex know about Fiona. She wasnt sure. She considered paying him a visit but she concluded that she wasnt ready to go back to the house he chased her from in a middle of a cold chilly night.

Tears came to her eyes as she remembered that day. She knew she was also at fault too, letting her anger get the best of her but then Lex had been to heartless to push her out by that time. A house she had contributed to the purchase.

She had forgiven him, yes. But she wasnt ready to hear his voice rather was she ready to see him.

She scrolled through her contact list and considered putting a call across to Chidera. He had been discharged three days ago and he had resigned from his job at ONE TIME GOLDEN BAR.

Just as she was about dialling his number, a call came through. It was a hidden number, she immediately knew who it was.
‘hello?’ she said into the mouthpiece.
There was a bit of silence before the caller spoke ‘you’re playing with me right?’
Ann sighed ‘i’m not’
‘look Annabel or whatever you call yourself, i dont know the games you are playing but i’m seriously warning you, do not play games with me. You dont know how dangerous i can be!’
‘calm down, this is not the time for threats. Look Fiona, i’m not playing games. Your brother is still alive and i can take him to you if you want to see him’
‘you are so stupid! How many times have you said that to me and how many times have i asked you to take me to him. You are a very big fool. I will find you Annabel and when i do, i will not hesitate to kill you, fool!’ She hung up immediately.

Ann sighed and threw the phone on the bed.
She wondered why she ran away that day. After that slip, she had seen the confusion and anger in Fiona’s eyes. And she had seen the way Fiona had clutched the gun beside her. She had to run for her dear life.
So she pulled her shoes and took to her heels not minding Fiona who was shouting and asking her to stop. She didnt.

When she got to the gate, she gave the haggard looking guy there her card to give to Fiona, then she ran to her car and drove out. Since then, Fiona called everyday asking for the whereabouts of her brother accompanying them with threats.

Her door creaked open and Jovita came in with a smile plastered on her beautiful face.
She sat up immediately ‘good morning mum’

‘good morning my love, how are you?’ Jovita was still in her nightie. She sat on the bed beside her daughter.
‘i’m fine mum and you?’
‘i’m splendid. I overheard you talking to someone over the phone and it looked like you were being threatened and…..’

Ann scoffed ‘threatened? I wasnt being threatened. What makes you think i was being threatened?’

Jovita shook her head ‘nothing. I actually came to talk to you about something else. About Emmy to be exact. That girl, she’s been here for two weeks now, havent you found her mother yet? Erm….Fiona?’
‘i….’ Ann stuttered covering her face with her palms ‘not yet. I’ve been searching. I’ve gone to the bar several times but they said she has resigned’
‘isnt she a call girl?’
‘a call girl employed by the bar management’
‘hmm’ Jovita sighed ‘so what do we do about the little girl, she doesnt have any relatives that we can give her to? Her family would be so worried about her by now’
‘i doubt that mum. If they had been worried about her, then they would have looked for her’

‘do you know if they are already looking for her?’

‘they are not. If they had, they would have gone to the media’
‘what if they cant afford it?’
‘they would have borrowed!’ Ann stood on her feet and Jovita joined her.
‘my dear, you think everyone has the luxury you are enjoying now? You think all fingers are equal? You think just because you are very comfortable now, everyone is comfortable? You think everyone has enough money to spend just like you without batting an eyelid? Come on now Annabel. If they dont go to the mediat, then we will go to the media. I’ve already spoken to some AIT and NTA staffs. If things go as planned, they would announce…..’

‘announce what mum?!’ Ann said turning around angrily ‘is it that you are tired of Emmy or what? She’s very comfortable here. Whats the essence of giving her back to her family when its obvious they dont give a hoot about her?’
‘you dont say such things Annabel, you have no idea the pains her family must be passing through at her disappearance at the moment, and just because she was seen outside at that time of the night doesnt mean her family do not care. And i hope you’re not judging her mother? You have no rights whatsoever to judge a prostitute because you dont know what life have thrown to them. You are a pastor’s daughter and you should have the life of Christ in you for crying out loud!’
Ann snorted ‘just because you were an orphan and a prostitute when dad married you doesnt mean every prostitute is there because of hardship’ It was too late before she could stop herself.
